MONTREAL: A SKETCH OF ITS HISTORY, STATISTICS, &c. '■I . ■ > Going back a period of 330 years, we seem to see Jacques C ARTIER, a name ever memorable in the history of Canada, on the 3rd of October, 1535, entering for the first time the little Indian village " Hochelaga," the germ or nucleus of first, the town of Mount Royal, and so, of the city of Montreal ;— eventful visit this, fraught with great results. We can sympathize with the emotions which would fill the mind of the explorer, as he gazed around on " the beautiful panorama of thirty leagues radius, that stretched out of the view from the eastern promontory of the mountain ; " and yet we cannot suppress a feeling of pity, as we think of the fate of those simple yet valiant sons of the forest, who gathered round C artier, as if before a superior being, and whose race has been so sternly driven back by the steady advance of civilization. But we may not pause upon this subject, and so we ask our visitors and citizens to recognize, if they can, the features of the following picture of ancient Montreal, in the substantial stone and bri?k of our modern architecture :— " The way to the village was through large fields of Indian corn. " Its outline was circular ; and it was encompassed by three '' separate rows of palisades or rather picket fences, one within '< the other, well secured and put together. A single entrance R, HQQdery & Co., Jewellers, 53 Gt. St. Jsunes street. m ^■i^ /.I" 12 Prevention better than cure: " was left in this rude fortification, but guarded with pikes and " stakes, and every precaution taken against siege or attack. The " cabins or lodges of the inhabitants, about fifty in number, were " constructed in the form of a tunnel, each fifty feet in length by " fifteen in breadth. They were formed of wood covered with " .bark. Above the doors of these houses as well as along the " outer rows of the palisades, ran a gallery ascended by ladders, " where stones and other missiles were ranged in order for the " defence of the place. Each house contained several chambers, " and the whole were so arranged as to enclose an open court " yard, where the fire was made." ,,- : > Again we pass on and by 200 years, with all their whirl of exciting events ; and in 1 760, the date of the British possession, we find Montreal a well peopled town, " of an oblong form, surrovmded by a wall flanked " with eleven redoubts, which served " instead of bastions. The ditch was about eight feet deep and of " a proportionate breadth, but dry ; it had also a fort or citadel, " the batteries of which commanded the streets of the town from " one end to the other." r; ; : ;,;,.,. c, i. ' i- Again, striding on to more modern dates, we find|that though the city was increasing in population, and augmenting its trade, yet a New York writer, some forty-five years ago, thus charac- terized Montreal ; — " The aj^roach to Montreal conveyed no " prepossessing idea of the enterprise of its municipality ; ships, " brigs and steamboats lay on the margin of the river at the foot " of a hill. No long line of wharves built of the^substantial free " stone, of which there is abundance in the neighbourhood, afforded " security to vessels and owners ; the commercial haven looked as I i'y Watches, Chains and Jewellery at 53^ .jf^>I 13 Wear flannel when travelling. kes and ,ck.

McGregor, too, in his British America, a work of not very ancient date, thus described Montreal : — " Betwixt the Royal " Mountain and the River, on a ridge of gentle elevation, stands " the town. • • • ♦ There are no wharves at Montreal, and the " ships and steamers lie quietly in pretty deep water, close to the " clayey and generally filthy bank of the city." Such then was our city in the times bygone. In the days of our fathers, no stately steam-ships ferried us across the Atlantic, no fioating palaces conveyed us safely, speedily and securely up and down our noble St. Lawrence, and across, as the " Times" has fitly termed it, " that magnificent series of inland seas, the high road from Europe to the North American continent." Then, no great chain of railway linked town to town, and city to city, almost annihilating distance. Then, the journey to Detroit was a toilsome matter of several weeks, and that to Brockville, short even as is the distance, occupied, with heavy cumbrous batteaux three weeks. Now how changed 1 The wand of some fairy king has surely been here. But no ! industry, intelligence, labour, capital, all combined, and working for the advancement of this rising colony, have produced the marvellous changes which meet us on every hand. This, the largest and most populous city in British North America, and the commercial capital of the province, was founded in 1642, under the name of " Ville-Marie," near the site of the Indian village " Hochelaga." The name was afterwards changed to " Mount Royal;" from the mountain which overlooks the city. Oreat St. James street, next to Dawsons. 14 lil ^U J. T. Henderson, Hosier, 416 Notre Dame street. It is situated on an island bearing the same name, in the combined embrace of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence, — which latter river at this point is upwards of a mile and a half wide, — 180 miles S. W. of Quebec, 420 miles N. of New York, and about 600 miles from the sea. It possesses, partly from its latitude, and partly from the great area of water with which it is surrounded, a mildness and softness of climate unknown to any other part of Lower Canada, is the largest and most fertile island in Canada, is 32 miles long, lOi miles wide, and is considered the garden of the Lower Province (area, 197 square miles). The soil is in most parts excellent, and produces nearly every kind of grain, fruit, and vegetable in perfection. Surface level, with the exception of the mountain near the city ; it is, however, diversified by several gentle ridges, having a tendency from N. E. to S. W., which are designated coteaux. The main branch of Ottawa, which is the timber high- way to Quebec, passes North of the island, and enters the St. Lawrence about 18 miles below the city ; about one-third of its waters are, however, discharged into Lake St. Louis, and joining but not mingling at Caughnawaga, the two distinct bodies pass over the Sault St. Louis and the Lachine Rapids — the dark waters of the Ottawa washing the quays of the city of Montreal, while the blue St. Lawrence laves the opposite shore. Nor do they merge their distinctive character until they are several miles below the city. The quays of Montreal are unsurpassed by those of any city in America ; built pf solid limestone, and uniting with the locks and cut stone wharves of the Lachine Canal, they present for several miles a diaplay of masonry which has few parallels. Unlike the levees of the Ohio and Mississippi, no unsightly ware- Silverplatiug at K. Kendery & Co's. 15 itreet. ;he combined bitter river at miles S.

TO THE SUFFESINO HUltANITY OF THIS AGE, Has Relieved more Pain, and caused more real Joy than any one Thing that can be named. IT IS A " BALM FOR EVERY WOUND." Our first Physicians use it, and recommend its use; the Apothecary finds it first among the medicines called for, and the Wholesale Druggist considers it a leading article of his trade. All the dealers in medicine speak alike in its favor ; and its reputation as a Medicine of Great Merit and Virtue is fully and permanently established, and it is THE GREAT FAMILY MEDICINE OF THE AGE. Bvery Volunteer should have a Bottle, in case of Sudden Attacks of Disease. TAKEN INTERNALLY IT CURES Sore Throat, Sudden Colds, Coughs, etc., Weak Stomach, General Debility, Nursing I Sore Mouth, Canker, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, J Cramp and Pain in Stomach, Bowel Complaint, Painters' Colic, I Asiatic Cholera, Diarrhoea and Dysentery.

A broad terrace, faced with gray limestone, the parapet of which is surmounted with a subtantial iron railing, divides the city from the river throughout its whole extent. There are over one hundred and fifty-six miles of streets and lanes in the city. Of these, a large number are watered daily duritig the summer months, by the Fire Department, (they levying a small tax on the storekeepers in the streets watered, to defray expenses,) in which service the Department employs numerous horses, patent watering machines, and men, saving to the City Treasury an annual item of $2,000, which was the general appro- priation when a distinct one was made for this special service. In the rear of the city, running parallel to the river, at the distance of about a mile and a half from the water's edge, rises a long ridge of rqcky and precipitous hill, some VOO feet in height, from which is derived the original name, " Mount Royal." The summit of this mountain commands a view extensive and diversi- fied. The city, with its towers, and spires, and public buildings, covers at the feet of the spectator, an area of over three miles by about one and a half. In mid-river lies the umbrageous island of St Helens — half park, half arsenal, glistening in the morning sun like an emerald set in gold. The St. Lawrence, a mile and a half wide at the narrowest, extends east and west as far as the eye can reach, covered with ships fresh from the ocean, and by steamers numberless, leaving on the wind their murky trail. In mid-land- I scape, that architectural marvel, the Victoria Bridge, spans the river, in all its strength and beauty ; and the ear can detect the roar of each passing train which rushes through its iron ribs. Beyond, the rail-tracks wind through a champaign country, settled Tee and Coffee set9 at 53 Great St. James street. 18 A splendid ttook of Flannels at •w I I n for two centuries, where farm liousos and farm buildings line the roads like streets, rich In population and rustic wealth ; while in the distance the twin mountains of Beheil and Montarvillo, sights even more picturesque than their names, rise from the plain, insula? of beauty amid a sea of verdure. But the eye can hardly tear itself from the scene of cultivation close around. The slopes of the mountain, and the rich alluvial soil at its foot, are one entire garden. Villas and pleasure-grounds cover the hill-side. A beautiful reservoir, cleft out of the rock, glitters in the sunlight with all the formal hcsiuiy of & pay sage by Watteau. The costumes and gay colours of the present day heighten the illusion, and im- part health and freshness to the city spread beneath. In the distant valleys, the agricultural skill of the English farmer com- bines with old French minuteness and precision to create a scene r '' Ever changing, ever new : When will the landscape tire the view ?

Hendenon't, 415 Notre Damo street. James Street, or of the Rue Notre Dame, must not suppose that in 1812, the year of the war with the United" States, things were as they now are. Not for twenty-five years after did a civic government provide for the wants of advancing civilization ; not for twenty-five years, did gas-lights, or pavements^ or hydrants exist. The long line of banks and stately edifices which now adorn Great St. James street, rise from an abandoned graveyard, which in 1812, was bounded by the crumbling city defences. Fortification lane was the foot of the town wall ; Craig street was tlie town ditch ; beyond, on the upland, were country houses and orchards. In the same year, Notre Dame street, now flashing with plate glass and the piled stores of jewellery and brocade, was a narrow street of low, Qozy Canadian houses, one story and a half high — the sancta of much geuial grace and of an unbounded hospitality. The nocturnal reveller — and there was a good deal of revelry in those days — who slipped off the disjointed stones, mis-called trottoiVy plunged mid-leg in the mud, in the palpable darkness, without hope of refuge in a street-railway car, or of help from a sleepy policeman. The old Catholic parish church, which in early days gave a Catholic welcome to the churchless Protestant congregation, stood lengthwise in front of the present noble church of Notre Dame — grand in design, though somewhat marred by a too great severity of style. Those splendid wharves faced with miles of cut stone, unequalled in America, and rivalled only in Europe by the docks of Liverpool, or the quays of St. f Petersburg, have replaced a nauseous bank, heaped with filth and \ garbage ; and a muddy islet, the receptacle of driftwood and • of Great St. | drowned animals ; and a turbid stream, from whence the strongest ings line the th ; while in rvillo, sights n the plain, c can hardly The slopes foot, are one the hill-side, the sunlight The costumes sion, and im- 3atb.

Montreal of the present day, with its palatial residences, — its places of public resort, — markets, numerous, con- venient and ornamental,— with its cathedrals, churches, colleges, convents,— with its multiplied institutions and social improve- ments, — with a population of over 120,000 souls, is as superior to the Montreal of 1840 as the Montreal of 1840 was in advance of the Montreal of 1812 ; and yet at that time ift was the commercial heart of Canada : the fountain of supply : the focus of mercantile energy and wealth ; and was regarded as the grand end and aim — the promised prize of American conquest. It is favourably situated for intercourse with the Upper Province, New York and Boston, being at the head of the ordinary navigation of the Atlantic, and at the foot of the grand chain of canals, which connect the great lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron and Superior with the river and the ocean. It is also connected by railroad and steamboat with all parts of Canada and the United States. Montreal is the port at which arrives the great bulk of the im- portations from Great Britain and other places abroad, being there either re-sold or transhipped to all parts of Canada East and West and the United States. A large wholesale and manufacturing trade is carried on in Montreal in all descriptions of goods ; the manufacture of boots and shoes particularly has risen to a great prominence, and many persons engaged in the business have rapidly acquired wealth. The wholesale trade is in the hands of some ten or a dozen houses. The amount of capital invested in all the works is over $750,000, and the number of boots and shoes of all kinds manufactured, average upwards of 9,000,000 from each factory.

The street fa9ades possess, not only from their extent, but from their architectural treatment, a bold and imposing cha- racter, and display in their composition, appropriateness and sim- |>licity, the general forms conducing to unity and expression of jfcurpose. They are also remarkable for the boldness of their pro- jections, and interesting as showing the tendency at the present day to the use of a much larger amount of carving for external decoration than has hitherto been employed.

Another noticeable feature in this building is the stacks of chimneys carried up above the attic cornice.

We cannot refrain from saying that this column is a disgrace to the city. Through the culpable negligence of the corporation, the citizens, or both combined, the only public monument in the city, the only me- morial to Great Britain's heroes which we can boast of, has been allowed to go to rack and ruin ; this which should be an honour to our city is a standing disgrace. And, as if to make this disgrace more palpable, Nelson's back is turned towards his natural element — the water. We regret to say that, in this matter, Englishmen have certainly not done their duty. Champ de Mars, or Military Parade Ground, is a fine gravelled space of 500 yards in length by 100 broad, and is bounded on one side by Craig street, and on the other by the Court HouSe, the raised embankment in rear of which is well boarded, and a flight of steps leading to the parade ground and extending its entire length furnishes a first rate stand for spectators. The troops in garrison parade here almost every morning, and troop colours twice a week during summer ; the bands of the several regiments beat tattoo in the evenings, all of which combined make it one of the principal resorts for strangers as well as citizens. It is lighted by twenty-four gas lamps for the use of our volunteer force, who, owing to being engaged, each at his legitimate trade, cannot turn out during the day. '' ' • n*' , CousT House.

Black Nunneuy, to reach which you must pass under an arch directly facing St Lambert street, is an educational establishment for girls, in which all the branches of a general education, needle- work, music, embroidery, &c., are taught, all being under the direction of the Black Nuns.

Place d'Armes, or French Square, is occupied in the centre by a pleasant enclosure, surrounded by a handsome iron railing, with gates at each corner surmounted by stones bearing the city arms. The garden is laid out with shrubs and flower beds, having a rather pretty fountain in the midst, around which are placed seats constituting a pleasant lounge. Ontario Bank.

The corner stone of this edifice, which is built in the perpendicular Gothic style of the middle ages, was laid on the 3rd September 1824, and was opened for public worship in July, 1829. It was originally intended to make it much larger than it is at present, in fact, to extend it down to St Paul street, and to build it in the shape of a Maltese Cross, thus to make it a Cathedral for all Lower Canada ; but, for many reasons, the plan had to be resigned in favor of the present building, the length of which is 255 feet 6 inches, and its breadth 144 feet 6 inches. The height of the towers is 220 feet. The great window at the high altar, which is filled with beautifully stained glass, is 64 feet high and 32 feet wide. The church is capable of accommodating over seven thousand persons. In the north-east tower is a fine chime of bells, and in the north-west tower is placed the largest bell in America, cast expressly for this church, and weighing 29,400 lbs ; its sound is very remarkable.

Christ's Church Cathedral (C. of E.) at the corner of University street, is a beautiful edifice in the mediaeval Gothic style. The plan is cruciform, and is indeed a model of ecclesias- tical architecture. The tower and spire — the latter of which is well proportioned and springs gracefully from the former — are at the intersection of the four arms of the cross, and measure 225 feet in height. The church is built of Caen stone and Montreal lime- stone, the latter having been obtained from the neighbouring quarries, and the former from Normandy. Length of the building inside 187 feet; width of nave 70 feet; transept, including tower, 99 feet. The upper stage of the tower contains at present only one bell, though made for a peal often, and the clocks are placed immediately above the corbel-table. The windows are good, and copied from the best mediaeval English churches. The front entrance is beautifully designed ; in fact the building is unequalled on this continent.

It has no ceiling, but the roof presents a variety of stained wood, its elegant arches resting on corbels of dark Montreal and white Ohio stones, which mingle together in striking contrast. At the end of the church stands a memorial window to Prince Albert ; besides this there are five stained glass memorial windows. A handsome tower and spire are now added. The tower is distinct from the main build- ing and has a connecting corridor, through Avhich is the principal entrance to the church on the west side.

This fine building, the " Rialto" of Montreal, is situated in this, one of the narrowest streets of the city, and is consequently seen to great disadvantage.

'■ > The Laohine Canal, wliicli extends for 8^ laailes, from the Harbour of Montreal to Lachine, has kept pace with the general progress of the city ; a large now dock has just been built outside the lock at Windmill Point ; a large new dry-dock has also recently been completed by Mr. Cantin, the capacity of which is sufficient to take in any vessel navigating the canals. Mills, foundries, and in fact all manufactories requiring water i)ower, are rapidly springing up on its banks. • . New City Gas Works were incorporated in July, 1847. Its capital is $300,000. This Company has the monopoly, it being the only gas company in the city, and of course the consumers are charged exorbitant rates. It is greatly to be wondered at that some of our energetic and public spirited men do not take the matter in hand and start a new company in opposition to the present: there is not the slightest doubt but that 'it would pay handsomely. Water Works. The water is taken from the St. Lawrence about one and a half miles above the Lachine Rapids, where the elevation of the river surface is about 37 feet above the Harbour of Montreal. The Wheel-house at the termination of the aqueduct is worthy of notice. The water is admitted to and dischaxged from this building through submerged archways under covered frost proof passages, extending above and below the building. There are two iron wheels, twenty feet diameter, and twenty feet broad. These wheels are upon the supension principle, "high breast" or " pitch back," with ventilated buckets.

Victoria BRiofJB. This gijxivntic slriicture, which was inaugu- rated by II. R. H. the Prince of Wales, in August, 18G0, spans the St. Lawrence at Point St. Charles, the terminus of the Grand Trunk Railway. It is ono of the most stupendous and massive structures of modern times. It is tubular, consisting of 23 si>ans of 242 feet each, with the exception of tlie one in the centre, under which the steamboats pass, it being 330 feet wide. The dimen- sions of the tubes are 19 feet high at the extreme end, rising to 22 feet in the centre tube, by ItJ feet wide. The Bridge is ay)- ])roached at each end by a causeway terminating in abutments of solid masonry. The southern causeway is 240 feet long, and the northern 1,400, the width of each being 90 feet. The total length of the bridge is 2 miles, less 50 yards. 250,000 tons of stone and 8,000 tons of iron were used in its construction. By this bridge two extensive and populous sections of country are united, thus adding to their social, agricultural and coinmcrcial development. RiPLE Ranges, situated at Point St. Charles, were secured for the great Rifle Tournament in 18(33, and have been used by the Volunteers since then for practice, matches, &c.

The cemetery lies in a very picturesque position in the valley between the two mountains. Lofty, wide and imposing entrance gates first meet the view ; inside these gates on the right is a handsome and sub- stantial residence for the superintendent ; on the left a small, but pretty church. The lofty pointed pinnacles of the entrance gates, the high pitched roofs of the house and church, with the bell tur- ret and gabled windows are in perfect keeping, with the surround- ing scenery, and the luxuriant foliage of the trees. The " Molson" vaults and monuments are the handsomest as well as the largest on this continent, and will well repay the time and small expense necessary to enjoy a drive through the extensive and well laid out grounds. Lachine Road. This is a very pleasant drive, going out St. Joseph street to the toll-gate, passing which we are on what is called the Upper Lachine road. At each side of us are the farms of our market gardeners and others. A road leading from this takes us to Cote St. Paul, where there^are a* number of factories and a very pretty church called ; Thej Union Church. This, one of the prettiest little chLTches on the island, was erected last y^ar on a commanding site facing the locks of the Lachine Canal, in the Gothic style of architecture, constructed with red, white and black bricks, ornamental tesse^ lated tile sands, &c. The main entrance is in the tower, which forms the north-west corner of the building and is surmounted with a spire. John James Browne, architect. ... t. I.' % ? r*.,*'r We leave Cote St. Paul and pass through the small villages of the Tanneries, Blue Bonnets, &c., and arrive at Lachine, a village once well known — it being the residence of the late Sir George Simpson, Governor of the Hudson Bay Co., and also the point from whence all orders were dispatched to the many posts of the Com take pres( the ] fury .hour of th Lo river villaj in w other comn Mary Ba Ville Gove tion 1 other La neslrl tourij venti] Lach exciti [j^\\ a smf the s speci handi ready ftny hous( J \ '^ - ', -Q- ^vv?#».* .

Returning to town we take the Lower road, which is directly along the bank of the river, presenting scenery of unsurpassed beauty and grandeur ; we see the Lachine Rapids boiling, foaming and dashing in their wild fury from rock to rock, from crevice to crevice. If the proper .hour is selected for this truly delightful drive, a view may be had of the descent of the steamer through these Rapids. LoNGtTB Point I^oad. This is another favourite drive along the river side, down St. Mary street, through the toll-gate to the village of Hochelaga, the quarters of a portion of the garrison, and in which are two pretty little rural churches — one Protestant the other Catholic— continuing down this road we arrive at a large commanding looking building, the Convent of the Holy Name of Mary ; passing on a few miles further we arrive at Longue Pointe. Back River Road is another drive, it leads to (Monklands) the Ville Marie Convent, which was formerly the residence of the Governor General. There is a very handsome church in connec- tion with this convent. This road also leads to Isle Jesu and many other pretty villages. Lachine Rapids are situated opposite the Nuns' Island, and nealrly half way between the city and the village of Lachine. The tourist should take the cars for Lachine, starting from the Bona- venture Street Station at 7 o'clock A.M., take the steamboat at Lachine to descend the Rapids. Running a rapid is at all times an exciting circumstance, whether it be done in a birch bark canoe on \ a small river, or in a steamer on the mighty St. Lawrence. When the steamer approaches the Rapid a pilot, skilful, experienced, and specially chosen for the purpose, takes charge of the wheel, e^trq, hands stand by to assist, while others go aft to the tiller, to be ready to steer the vessel by its means should the wheel tackle by any accident give way ; the captain takes his place by the wheel- house, ready with his bell to communicate with the engineer; \ B. S^endery ft Co., MannfiE^ctiiring Jewellem, 92 Hosiery at 416 Notre Dame street. the vessel plunges into the broken and mad waters, she heaves and falls, rolls from side to side, and labors as if she were in a heavy sea, the engine is eased, and the steamer is carried forward with frightful rapidity ; sometimes she appears to be rushing headlong on to some frightful rock that shows its bleak head above the white foam of the breakers, in the next instant she has shot by it and is making a contrary course, and so she threads her way through the crooked channel these mad waters are rushing down. A few moments suffice for this, and the smooth green waters are reached again, then all breathe freely, for none but old and experi- enced pilots can run the great Rapids of Lachine but with bated breath. A slight rapid called Norma Rapid is then passed through, and, after shooting under that great monument of engineering skill, the Victoria Bridge, and past the Canal Basin, the steamer lands her passengers at one of the wharves at about 9 o'clock, just in time, and with a good appetite, for breakfast. St. Helens Island, which, were it not for the white tents seen among the trees, no one would ever suspect to be a strong military post, but which probably holds more shot and shell in its cool underground magazines than would blow all the Island of Mon- treal to atoms. This is one of the prettiest spots near Montreal, and is open to the public, who can gain admittance by a pass from the Town-Major. , . -."'^ '•.,.';.. ■■'linf '.^^ ■.■<>{•', ->(! ft ■ '..
