'■^upmi. .^ in fu f AWA a oprietor tin the al ihare fortane tor. The OiTY or Montbial is the largest and most populous citj in British Korth America. In approach- ing the city from the river, the traveller is struck with the peculiar beauty of the large cut-stone buildings which front on tlie majestic River St. Lawrence, on whose banks they are reared, resembling, in their solid masonry and elegance^ the buildings of European cities. The great Victoria Bridge, under whose arches tht steamers pass on their way to the city, excites the wonder and astonishment of all. The wharves are superior to any on this continent, while the local advantages of the city for trade and commerce (being at the head of ship navigation) are unsurpassed, afford- ing strong iuducements to capitalists for investing their funds. si / ri{ the Places of Interest, Pulilic Buildinp, &c. Among the mieiny substantial and elegant edifices in the Oity may be mentioned :«- Thb Bank of Bbitish North Aiobrioa, on Great St. James Street, next to the Post Office, is a handsome bailding, of cut stone, and built in the Oomposite style of architecture.

The Ladies' Benevolent Institution, for the relief of widows and half-orphans, is a large building in Berthelot Street, managed solely by Oommittees of Ladies. The Jail is a substantial cut stone building, surrounded by a high wall, and is worthy of a visit. It cost $200,000. The Wharves of the Gity are unsurpassed by any on this continent, being of solid masonry, and being about two miles in extent. The Lachine Ganal is among the public works particu- larly worthy of note, and of which the city may well fbel proud. Its massive masonry commands universal attention. The Viotoiua Bridge, the most stupendous structure in the world, spans the St. Lawrence opposite the city This Bridge is built of iron, on the tubular principle, and Sooutt is 111. t is of cut Qd plan is open space es Gartier ter Street, the many id of same [nmanding ine Street volence of e relief of Berthelot es. rrounded $200,000. by any id being particu- nay well niyersal tructure he city pie, and 18 rests on 24 stone piers. The entire length, from riyer bank to river bank, is nearly two miles. The entire cost of the work is about seven million dollars ! It is sup- posed that in its erection 250,000 tons of stone and T,500 tons of iron have been used. The centre span is 330 feet : there are 12 spans on each side of the centre, 242 feet each. The length of the abutments is 242 feet each. The height above summer water level in the centre opening is 60 feet, descending to either end at the rate of 1 in 130.

The following are the dimensions of tube through which the trains pass in the middle span, viz : 22 feet high, 16 feet wide ; at the extreme ends 19 feet high, 16 feet wide. — See page 36. Mount Rotal Gbmetbry is on the East side of the Mountain, about two miles from the city; it is much visited by strangers. The Champ-de-Mabs is a favorite promenading place, being the general Parade and Review Grounds of the Military. The Place d'Armes is a handsome Square, between Notre Dame and Great St. James Streets, and facing the great Roman Parish Church. A Favorite Drive is that rouud the Mountain. The distance being about nine miles, commands one of the finest views of beautiful landscapes to be found in America. Next to this drive, the one on the Lower Lachine Road, leading to the village of that name, is recommended. Leading along the banks of the river, it presents scenery of unsurpassed beauty and grandeur ; and if the proper time is selected, a view may be had of u 'I I the steamer descending the rapids. Many other favorite drives could be enumerated and described, if space were found in these pages. But there are few places on the American Continent where more interest or'pleasure to the traveller can be found than in the city and vicinity of Montreal. Thb City Water "Works tap the St. Lawrence near the Lachine Rapids, about six miles from the city, the water being conveyed through a viaduct and large pipes to two Receiving Reservoirs for the supply of the city, at the base of the Mountain, about two hundred feet above the level of the river. These reservoirs contain about twenty millions of gallons. The water is taken by an aqueduct from the St. Lawrence, about a mile and a half above the Lachine Rapids, where the elevation of the river surface is about thirty-seven feet above Montreal harbour. It is conducted for a distance of five miles through an open canal [forty feet wide on the water surface, and eight feet deep at the lowest stage of the river] to the River St. Pierre, at the outskirts of the city. Here at the termination of the aqueduct, a capacious basin is formed in order to give surface area sufficient to prevent the head being suddenly drawn* down by the large quantity of water required to start the wheels. The aqueduct intersects three streams, which are carried under it by syphon culverts, and is crossed by twelve bridges. More than half of the aqueduct is through cut- ting from 10 to 23 feet in depth, one and a quarter miles of which are through solid rock, seven to fourteen feet thick, the width of the cut being thirty-four feet. At the termination of the aqueduct is the wheel-house, — two iron water-wheels, twenty feet diameter and twenty feet Inroad are erected, the bottoip of i^l^ich are place4 k tier favorite space were a.ces on the pleasure to ttd vicinity rence near le city, the large pipes the city, at feet above tain about :en by an and a half on of the 3 Montreal five miles the water ge of the F the city, capacious Sclent to L by the wheels.

At 3e, — two nty feet place4 W twenty-two feet above Montreal harbor, in order to escape the back water caused by the winter rise of the St. Lawrence. The water is admitted and dischargeil from the wheel-house through submerged arehways, under covered frost-proof passages, extending above and below the building. About a hundred feet from the wheel-house the pumping main branches into two lines, each twenty-four inches diameter, which are continued under the Grand Trunk Railway, the River St. Pierre, and the Lachine Canal, [which latter is passed by a culvert, at a level of twenty feet below the surface], and shortly after ascends within six feet of the natural surface, where the two mains are connected again, and a single one only is continued to the Reservoir, at the base of the mountain. They are excavated out of the solid rock, and have a water surface of about ninety thousand square feet, two hundred and five feet above Montreal harbor, with a depth of 25 feet, containing about fifteen millions of gallons. They can be filled by the two wheels in seventy-five hours' pumping, the wheels also providing the consumption of the city during that period. These works were commenced in June, 1853, and the first water was pumped into the Reservoirs September 11th, 1866. Cost of the Works, including land purchases, machinery, reservoirs, interest, dis- count, &c., $1,500,000. Thi Grit Numniby is situated on Foundling Street, and is designed for the care of foundlings and the infirm.

The North-east tower contains a chime of bellS| while the North-west contains a monster bell — the largest in America— weighing 24,000 ponnds. The tower is open to the public at a small fee ; from the top is presented a splendid panoramic view of the Island of Montreal, well repaying the fatigue of ascent.
