there are now over two hundred Pupils in attendance there.The wharves of the city are unsurpassed by any on the American Continent.They are built of wood and meeting with the locks and cut stone wharves of the Lachine Canal, they present for several miles a display of | continuous wharfage which has few parallels.Unlike the levees of the Ohio and Mississippi,-no unsightly warehouses disfigure the river-side.A broad terrace faced with grey\u2019 limestone the parapets of which are surmounted with a substantial iron railing, divides the city from the river throughout its whole extent.The remaining public buildings.worthy of - notice are, the Old Government Heuxe, \"Notre Dame street, now occupied \u2018as \u201cthe Normal = School; the Barracks; the Custom House, .St.Paul street; the Bon Pasteur Nunnery Hotel Dieu Hospital, Sherbrooke St.; he of the Gesu, Bleury street.| \u2018 .© \u201887 ¢ < Chae > Fe 3 10 Mount Royal Cemetery is situated on the cast side of the mountain, about two miles from the city.J udgement and taste have been, displayed in the selection and management of the grounds : it is much visited by strangers.- The Champ de Mars.\u2014This is a favourite promenade for citizens and strangers, being the general parade and review ground of the military, \u2018and is frequently enlivened during the summer evenings by music from the fine bands of the regiments.Viger Square.near the Champ de Mars, is beautifully laid out into a Garden.with conservatory, fountains, &c.Place d\u2019Armes, is a handsome Square between, Notre Dame and Great St.James streets, opposite the French: Cathedral.It is surrounded by a neat iron railing, and tastefully laid-out and planted with shade trees; in the centre of the Square is a fountain.The Victoria Bridge.\u2014The cost of this gi- gantio structure was originally estimated at Zl 450,000 whut this sum has since been redu- \u201cvced and: the present calculation of its cost is about £1 250 000.In its 250,000 tons of stone, , \u2019\u201cand 7500 tons ef iron have been used.The + ! iron gs is supported by 24 piers no and abutments( The centre span being 330 iy \"feet, there are 12 spans each side of the centre C \\ 1° ly NS A \u20ac ue a Jo ~ 1 % + 4 8 vi WAN HW, \u2018 Re \\ dr ko nt a 242 feet each.The lenght of the abutments is 242 feet each.\u2018The extreme lenght, including abutments is 7000 feet.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 contents of the masonry is 3,000,000 of cubic feet.The weight of iron in the tubes is 8000 tons.The following are the dimensions of tubes through which the trains pass in the middle span, viz: 22 feet .high, 16 feet wide; at the extreme ends, 19 feet high and 16 wide.The total lenght fr om river bank to river bank is 10,284 feet, or about 50 yards less than two English miles.The Lachine Canal is among the public works particularly worthy of note and of which the city may well feel proud.: The head of water on this Canal has been rendered Available for the creation of water power, which has been applied most succesfully to the movements of very extensive machinery over a large extent of ground .Among the works here are foundries, engine and boiler works, ship yard and marine works, saw mills sash, blind and door factories, flour mills, cotton mills, edge tool factories, &e., &C.As a place of beauty and pleasure, the ride from the City around Mount Royal will attract the traveller at all-times.The distance is nine miles, commanding one\u2018 of the finest views of beautiful landscape to be en ns , = } a \u2014-\u2014 lpr 1 / v, found in North America; and in returning entering the city a view of the St.Lawrence and of Montreal, both comprehensive and extended, that well repays time and expense.Next to the drive around the mountain is that on the Lachine road, leading to the village of that name, nine miles from the city.The road is directly along the banks of the river, presenting scenery of unsurpassed beauty and grandeur.It is a lovely drive.If the proper hour is selected, a view may be had of the descent of the steamer over ~ the rapids.Another favorite drive in the immediate vicinity is to Longue Pointe, being in opposite direction from the last and down along the banks of the river.It would be useless to undertake an enumeration of all the places of \u2018interest in and about Montreal, for we believe that there are but few places on the Amertean Continent where can be found so much of interest to the traveller, whether in pursuit of health or .pleasure, as in this city. 13 RAILROAD AND STEAMBOAT OFFICES.> Grand Trunk Railway Offices, for Quebec, Portland, Toronto, at Bonaventure Station Depot\u2014Bonaventure Street.Upper Canada Line of Steamers\u201473 Gt.St.James St.Ottawa City Steamboat Office\u2014Mercantile Library \" Building, Bonaventure Street.Passengers go via La- chine Railroad, Bonaventure Depot.Quebec Steamboat Office, 29 Commissionners Street.YE All Stages and Omnibusses to and from the Cars and Steamers, call at the St.James Hotel.IZ Parties of Pleasur= or on business who \u2018desire carriages will be accommodated by leaving their orders at the office.: moment CURRENCY.Canada £ $4;

- cultivates arts, science and.literature ; abounds i in charities, and professes special regard to the amenities of social life, it claims particular attention as being a strikingly unique old place, the stronghold of Canada, and, in fact the key of the Province.Viewed from any one of its approarhes, it impresses the stranger \u201cwith the conviction of strength and permanency.The reader of American history on entering its gates, or wandering over ifs squares, ramparts and battle-fields, put himself at once in communion with the illustrious dead.The achievements of daring mariners, the labours of self sacrificing missionaries of the cross, and the conflicts of military heroes, who bled and died in the assault and defence of its walls, are here re-read with ten-fold interest.Then the lover of nature in her grandest and most rugged, as in her gentle and most smiling \u201cforms, will find in and around it an affluence of sublime and beautiful objects.The man of science too may be equally gratified, for here the great forces of nature and her secret alchemy may be studied with advantage.Quebec can never be a tame or insi- tickets from the proper authorit 15 pid place, and with.moderate opportunities.for advancement, it must become one of the greatest cities of the new world in respect of learning, arts, cominerce and manufactures.The city of Quebec was founded by SAMUEL CHAMPLAIN, 1608.In 1622 the Population was reduced to fifty souls.In June, 1759, the English army under Gen.WoLrE landed upon the Island of Orleans.On the 12th September took place the: celebrated battle of the Plains of Abraham, which resulted in the death of Wolfe, and the defeat of the French army.A force of 9,000 English troops under Gen.Murray were left to garrison the fort.The city is very interesting to a stranger,.it is the only walled city in Canada.Cap e Diamond upon which the citadel stands i is three hundred and forty-five feet in height, and derives its name from the quantity of cristal mixed with the granite below its surface.The fortress includes the whole space on the cape.\u2018Above the spot where General Montgom me,\u2019 ry was killed is now the inclined plane, ry ning to the top of the bank ; it is five han- dred feet long, and is used \u2018by the Government to convey stores and other articles of great weight to the fortress.Strangers are allowed to enter this fortress ¥ procuring sp 06 + _ .ge om ED TREN WW pcm eae pv od me TC I \\ 3 ny \u2014\u2014 oa PA ge de 16 A ride to the plains of Abraham is one of the most interesting visits about this celebrated city ; a rock is there pointed out as the spot where General Wolfe expired.There are four martello towers, forty feet in height, standing upon the plain, about half a mile in - advance of the other fortifications.Seven miles below Quebec is the fall of Montmorency.The road is very pleasant, passing through the FrencH village of Beauport.Those who expect to see a second Niagara will be very much disappointed.The stream ~ descends 1n silvery threads, over a precipice two hundred and forty feet in height and in connection with the surrouning scenery is, extremely picturesque and beautiful, but inspire none of the awe felt at Niagara.The French Catholic Church is a spacious stone building, and the interior is decorated with some fine plaintings.Since the destruction of the convent at Charlestown, Mass., Americans are not allowed entrance to the Ursuline Convent.It is the more to be regretted from the fact that the grave of Montcalm 1s in their chapel.Castle St.Louis, probably the first public building in Quebec, the corner stone of which was laid by Champlain on the 6th of May, 1624, was destroyed by fire on the 23rd of January, 1834.By the orders of Lord Durham, the site of the castle was cleared of the 17 \u2018| | oo \u2018ruins that covered it, levelled and covered with wood and an iron railing placed on the edge of the precipice, making : a very delightful promenade.The view from it commands the lower town, the St.Lawrence as far down as the Island of Orleans, the harbor with its -ships, and Point Levi on the opposite, side of the river.Point Levi, on the other side of the River opposite Quebec, will interest the stranger very much.Immense and stupendious forti - cations being now in progress of construction.REPT TICIIR.< A NN E mem 4 .au Te ETS ver spa\u201d mcm 1 es 18 ) RIVER SAGUENAY.To the pleasure seeker, or to the man of science, there can be nothing more refresh-\u2019 ing and delightful, nothing affording more food for reflection or scientific observation than a trip to that most wonderful of rivers the Saguenay.On the way thither, the scenery of the Lower\u201d St.Lawrence 1s extraordinary picturesque ; a broad expanse of water intersperced with rugged solitary islets, highly cultivated islands, and islands covered with trees to the waters edge, hemmed in by lofty and precipitous mountains on the one side, and by a continuous street of houses, relieved by beautifully situated villages, the spires of whose tin covered churches glitter in the sunshine, - affords a prospect so eng¢hamnting, that were nothing else to be seen, the tourist would be well repaid ; but when i in addition to all this, the tourist suddenly passes from a landscape unsurpassed for beauty into a region of primitive grandeur, where art has done nothing and nature everything, when at a single bound civilization is left behind and nature stares him in the face, in naked majesty ; when he sees Alps on Alps arise ; when he floats over unfathomable depths, through a mountain gorge, the sublime entirely overwhelms the sense of sight and fascinates the imagination. wt + 13 19 The change produced upon the thinking part of man in passing from the broad St.Lawrence, into the seemingly narrow and awfully deep Saguenay, whose waters lave the sides of the towering.mountains, which almost shut out the very light of heaven, is such as no pen can paint nor tongue describe.1t is a river which one should see if only to know, what dreadful aspects nature can assume in her wild moods, compared to it the Dead sea is blooming, and the wildest ravines look cosy and smiling, it is wild and grand apparently in spite of itself.On either side rise cliffs varying in perpendicular height from 1,200 to 1,600 feet, and this is the character of the river Saguenay, from 1ts mouth to its source.Ha-Ha Bay, which is 60 miles from its mouth, affords the first landing and anchorage, the name of this Bay is said to arise from the circumstances of early navigators, in sailing vessels proceeding up a river of this kind for 60 miles, with eternal sameness of feature, stern and high rocks on which they could not land and no bottom for their anchors, at last broke out into laughing, Ha-Ha, when they found landing and anchorage.This wonderful river seems one huge mountain rent asunder, there can be little doubt at some remote age by some great convulsion of nature. i | | 20 | The reader who goes to.see it, and all ought to do so, who can, for it is one of the great natural wonders of the continent, can add the\u2019 poetical filling in of the picture from his own imagination.This beautiful trip is easy and facile of accomplishment, as new and magnificent boats rivaling in luxuriousness with any on our inland waters, run regularly to Ha-Ha Bay, on board of which the pleasure seeker will experience all that comfort and accomodation which is necessary to the full enjoyment of such a trip.et\u201d ga | 21 \u2018 : OTTAWA.The City of Ottawa is situated on the river of the same name nearly 90 miles above the confluence with the St.Lawrence.The Rideau Canal, divides the City into the Upper and Lower towns, and admits of uninterrupted internal communication between Kingston on the lake Ontario and the Ottawa River.It 1s well laid out-with wide streets, and has been selected by the Queen for the permanent seat of the Canadian Legislature.The scenery in the vicinity is not to be surpassed by any City in America.Besides the Rideau Canal, is connected by the Ottawa and Prescott Railroad which taps the Grand Trunk at Prescott and also a line of steamers run daily up and down the river during the, summer months.The Russell House is situated in Centre Town, in direct juxtaposition with the Sapper\u2019s Bridge, the Rideau Canal, Parliament Buildings, Post Office, Custom\u2019 House, City Hall and News Room.Five, minutes drive takes the Tourist to Suspension Bridge, from which and the adjoining Mills, different views may be obtained of the celebrated Chaudiere Falls, second only to those of Niagara in imposing grandeur.The Parliamentand Departement buildings, Government: \u2018Tiger Slides, Taple Tues, Sis- pension Bridge;
