THE CITY OF TORONTO.

HISTOBICAL SETBOSFECT.

The City of Toronto, now so prominent among the
chief towns of Canada, owes its existence, no less to the
important natural position which it occupies, than to
the enlightened foresight of John Graves Simcoe, Esq.,
the first Governor of Upper Canada. This enterprising
and gallant soldier, with the true sagacity of a practical
man, perceived that in order to promote the early and
rapid settlement of Upper Canada, it would be necessary
to make a breach in the forests at three separate and
distinct points, leaving to the operation of time the
filling up of the intermediate districts of country. His
object was to found in each of these districts a city or
town which would be a central focus of population,
around which, with as wide a circumference as possible,
he sought to scatter as many emigrants as liberal
inducements might tempt to direct their steps thither.
To the east a footing had already been mpde at

Kingston; to the west an active settlement at the
"forks" of the Thames (or la Ti*auche) was projected;
while Toronto (York), occupying a middle position
between the two, was to be the seat of the newly
established government, and the controlling centre of
its operations. Other reasons induced the clear-minded
Simcoe to fix upon the present site of Toronto as the
seat of his colonial capital.

Situated at the head of the great land portage lying
between Lakes Ontario and Huron, via Lake Simcoe,
he foresaw that as that route must ultimately be the
principal highway of commerce to the broad waters of
the upper lakes, and thence to the west, a city at its
southern termination could not fail to be influential and
prosperous. His own prominence and success in Border
warfare suggested to him, too, the necessity of fixing this
commercial capital sufficiently distant from the frontier
lines of the province, to prevent the growth of those
irritable and jealous feelings so destructive to com-
mercial prosperity, which a nearer proximity to the
powerful republic might engender. The spacious har-
bour, containing an abundant depth of water, aflForded
protection to lake vessels of every tonnage, and would
thus ensure the permanent growth, as well as form the
basis, of the prosperity of the future city. With such
views, and in full reliance upon the ultimate success of
what was then deemed to be his too sanguine projects
of colonization and commerce, Governor Simcoe directed
the first tree to be felled, and the lines to be run which
would mark out the boundaries of the future City of
the Lakes.

HISTORICAL RETROSPECT.

Glancing backward now through the threescore years
which have intervened since the spot on which Toronto
stands was a wilderness, we can scarcely appreciate
the difficulties which surrounded the project of the
undaunted Simcoe. No inland settlement farther from
the frontier lines than Newark (Niagara) itself— a dense
forest lining the shores of the lake from Niagara to the
old French Fort at Frontenac — a flat, uninteresting site
surrounded by marsh and woodland, and destitute alike
of cliff or headland, which, in those stirring, military
times, was considered an essential natural aid in provid-
ing for the defence of an infant capital — situated so far
away, as the projected site was, from the seat of British
naval power at the foot of the lake ; — objections such
as these, and many more, were urged by the interested
and the timid, against the persevering and chivalrous
Simcoe, backed as they were by the powerful opinion
of the Governor-General, Lord Dorchester, himself;
and he had long to contend, almost single-handed, in
favour of his cherished scheme to build up here, on the
shores of Lake Ontario, a new and permanent seat of
British power in the province. Better counsels at length
prevailed; and in May 1793, hia Excellency, Governor
Simcoe, left Newark (Niagara) for York Bay, and feel-
ing his way round the head of the lake, soon reached
the spot destined to be the site of his new capital.
Operations were soon commenced, and a site for the
Government Buildings selected. Surveyor-General
Bouchette, of Lower Canada, was directed to make a
survey of the harbour, with a view to its improvement
and defence. His own account of this duty presents

9 HISTORICAL RETROSPECT.

SO admirable a picture of the place and times that we
give a short extract, as follows : —

" It fell to my lot to make the first survey of York
Harbour in 1793. I still distinctly recollect the
untamed aspect which the country exhibited, when
first I entered the beautiful basin, which thus became
the scene of my early hydrographical operations.
Dense and trackless forests lined the margin of the
lake, and reflected their inverted images in its glassy
surface. The wandering savage had constructed his
ephemeral habitation beneath their luxuriant foliage
— the group then consisting of two families of Mis-
sassagas, — and the bay, and neighbouring marshes,
were the hitherto uninvaded haunts of wild fowl ;
indeed, they were so abundant as in some measure
to annoy us during the night. In the spring fol-
lowing, the Lieutenant-Governor removed to the site
of the new capital, attended by the regiment of Queen's
Rangers, and commenced at once the realization of
his favourite project. His Excellency inhabited, dur-
ing the summer and through the winter, a canvas
house which he imported expressly for the occasion;
but, frail as was its substance, it was rendered
exceedingly comfortable, and soon became as distin-
guished for the social and urbane hospitality of its
venerated and gracious host, as for the peculiarity of
its structure."

Notwithstanding the unpromising aspect of the place
the trees were soon cleared, and the outlines of a town
traced upon the spot where the wigwams of the Missas-
sagas had so lately stood. The soldiers of Simcoe's old

regiment (the Queen's Rangers) were employed both to
clear the site, and to erect the Governor's residence.
The eastern end of the bay was selected for the Parlia-
ment Buildings and private dwellings ; but the Govern-
ment House itself was erected on an eminence near the
River Don, and called Castle Frank — a name which the
property retains to this day.

After selecting the site, the first care of the Governor
was to provide facilities for transporting merchandise
by way of York to the upper lakes. A road was accord-
ingly surveyed, leading directly from the capital to
Holland Landing, Lake Simcoe. By the aid of the
gallant Rangers, this highway, now known as Yonge
Street, was soon opened up, and has since continued to
be the leading thoroughfare northward from the city.
The construction of the Northern Railway is but an
evidence of the far-seeing sagacity of Governor Simcoe*
in this matter. By means of this route he sought to
avoid, on the one hand, the portage of Niagara and the
long and dangerous passage up Lake Erie, and, on the
other, the no less tedious and intricate route of the
Ottawa River.

In 1797 the Legislature, which had hitherto assembled
at Newark (Niagara), were called together for the first

entered the army at the age of nineteen, and commanded tlie Queen's
Rangers (Hussars) during the American revolutionary war. In 1792, he
was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, and of St. Domingo
in 1796, and a Lieutenant- General in 179S. He died on his return to
England, in 1806, aged fifty-four years.

WAR OF 1812.

time at York, the new capital, and the seat of govern-
ment was formally transferred thither.

WAB OF 1812.

After the departure of its founder, the new capital
progressed slowly but quietly, until the stirring times
of the war of 1812. In that year it had less than
900 inhabitants ; and the defences of the place were in
so frail a condition, that the American invading army
considered it one of the most vulnerable points of
attack in the whole province. At this critical period,
however, the Glengarry militia came nobly to the rescue,
and behaved most gallantly in its defence. The enemy
were strong in numbers, and anxious to acquit them-
selves with their usual bravery. They were led by
General Pike, a young and gallant soldier. Entering
with enthusiasm the outer defences of the fort, which
they carried by a coup de main, their farther advance
was suddenly checked by the explosion of the magazine,
which, by a preconcerted arrangement, was thus pre-
vented from falling into their hands. By this terrible
stratagem, 300 of the attacking force, including its in-
trepid leader, were either killed or wounded. But they
still pressed on; and although the handful of brave
defenders disputed every inch of ground, they were at
length compelled to capitulate. In doing so, they ob-
tained honourable terms for the inhabitants.

In July of the same year, the town was again at-
tacked, and suffered a good deal. Although, owing to
the bravery of our Canadian arms, and the heroism of
the troops and militia, it was not afterwards molested,

still, in common with other parts of the province, it
felt for a long time the untoward effects of war.

AFTER THE WAS.

After peace had been proclaimed and quietness
fully restored, the infant capital began slowly, but
steadily, to advance. In 1820, the present Parliament
Houses and other public buildings were erected; so
that, in a year or two afterwards, Toronto contained
about 250 houses, and a population of nearly 1,500.
In 1830, these numbers had alni^'-t doubled; and in
1834, the population was nearly 10,000.

OHIGIKAL BOUNDARIES.

Up to 1833 the boundaries of the town were very
limited. At the west they extended no farther than
New Street (now called Nelson Street). At the
north they reached no higher than Lot Street (now
called Queen Street). Berkeley Street was the limit
at the east, and the bay the boundary at the south.
All the more important shops and private residences
were included in these limits ; but so rapidly had the
place spread itself to the west, and expanded to the
north, that in the year 1834 the town of York was
incorporated as the first city in Upper Canada, its
name changed from that of York to the more beautiful
one of Toronto,* and its original boundaries enlarged

to their present dimensions. The city was also divided
into five wards, called respectively after the patron
saints of England, Ireland, Scotland, "Wales, and Canada.
Two more wards have since been formed out of parts of
the old ones, namely, St. James and St. John.

PRESENT CONDITION.

From the period of its incorporation, Toronto has
rapidly increased both in wealth and population. Its
growth has been steady rather than fitful; and its
public buildings are marked by an air of substantial
elegance which is alike a credit to the city, as they
are themselves characteristic of the commercial stand-
ing of its merchants and the stability of its monied
institutions. At present Toronto contains about 7,000
public and private buildings, and a population of nearly
50,000. The assessed value of property is not far from
7,000,000 dollars, or a million and a half sterling. In
1856 it was 6,102,316 dollars. The yearly civic income
and expenditure amount to about 300,000 dollars.

SITUATION AND APPEARANCE.

Although not a picturesque city, Toronto is most
agreeably situated. The handsome bay, forming its
southern front or boundary, gives it, as a lake port,
gr^at commercial advantages, besides adding to the
general appearance of the city, which it is hoped will not
be lessened by the recent breaches in the island break-
water. The view from the western entrance to the har-
bour and from the island is varied and striking. The
spires and cupolas of its public buildings afford a

most agreeable diversity to the distant outline of the
city, and mark it as a place of wealth and enterprise.
From the cupola of the St. Lawrence Hall at the south,
and from that of the Educational Department and the
new University at the north, the view is both extensive
and animating. The long lines of houses, and the rect-
angular blocks of buildings, intersected by streets run-
ning towards the four cardinal points of the compass,
with here and there a handsome church or an elegant
edifice, strike the eye of the stranger with an agreeable
surprise. The two main arteries of the city (King and
Yonge Streets) crossing each other at right angles, divide
Toronto into four large sections, (each with its centre
of business and interest), and mark the extent of this
beautiful and growing city.

LEADING OBJECTS OF INTEBEST.

In order to take a rapid glance at the chief objects
of interest in Toronto, the stranger may follow each of
the streets or main arteries of the city, which run north
and south, east and west, cutting each other at right
angles, diverging here and there as inclination or curi-
osity may decide.

Starting from the foot of Yonge Street, northwards
from the bay, the most striking objects we meet are
the Custom House, the Banks of Montreal and British
North America (both haiidsome buildings), and the City
Bank of Montreal; then "Wellington Street, and on
either hand the City Hall, Chief Wholesale Houses, the
Commercial Bank of Canada, and the Edinburgh Life
Assurance Company's Building. Passing King Street,

we reach Adelaide, Richmond, and Temperance Streets,
with their Churches, Court House, and Mechanics' In-

is Cooke's Church, and, to the west, Knox's Church, the
Law Courts (Osgoode Hall), and the entrance to the Col-
lege Avenue ; farther on, St. Patrick and St. Andrew's
Markets, the Church of St. George, Trinity College
University, and, at tlie extreme end, the massive pro-
portions of the Provincial Lunatic Asylum, and the
new and beautiful Crystal Palace. Again, continu-
ing up Yonge Street, we pass the Church of the Holy
Trinity, two adjacent Schools, and other Churches,
until we reach Goold Street, off which, on a site of
eight acres, stands the elegant building, with its hand-
some grounds, of the Educational Department, and its
Normal and Model Schools. South of this, on the
corner of Goold and Victoria Streets, stands a Presby-
terian Church, and, on Victoria Street, one of the hand-
some Ward Schools. Opposite the Normal School, on
Bond Street, are a Lutheran Church, a Baptist Church,
and the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Michael, with
its adj oining Episcopal Residence and Schools. Farther
up Yonge Street stands Clover Hill, with St. Michael's
College, and the Roman Catholic Church of St. Basil. At
the head of the city limits of Yonge Street, we pass into
the retired suburban village of Yorkville, the private
Buildings, Churches, and School-house of which are
both neat and elegant. The view of the bay and city
from this point is very striking.

immediately afterwards erected in its place. Ten years
subsequently, the same fate befell this church ; and in
1849 the corner-stone of the present enlarged and
beautiful edifice was laid. The designs were furnished
by Mr. F. W. Cumberland. The style adopted is that
of the early English Gothic. In the interior are side
aisles, nave, galleries, organ loft, chancel, and the usual
vestry rooms. The transepts are not yet finished. The
extreme length of the Cathedral is 200 feet by 115 feet
wide. The interior is 111 feet long by 75 feet wide.
The height from the nave to the centre of the handsome
open ceiling or roof is 70 feet, and from the aisles to
the cornice 35 feet. The tower and spire, when finished,
will be 275 feet. The chancel is a semi-octagon in
form, of a depth of 42 feet, each side being pierced by
windows of the transition period, with rich and varied
tracery. The whole of the chancel has carved panels
beneath the windows, the altar piece forming a centre,
and the ceiling groined with enriched ribs, carved
bosses, &c. The pews are of Gothic character, with
cut and enriched bench ends. The church is intended
to accommodate 2000 persons ; and the cost, exclusive
of the tower and spire, was about 64,000 dollars. From
the erection of the first church, up to 1812, the vener-
able the Archdeacon of Kingston, Rev. George Okill
Stuart, D.D., was Rector. The present Bishop of Toronto
(the Right Rev. Dr. Strachan) held the office from June
1812, till he resigned in 1839, on his being created
Bishop of Toronto, in favour of the Rev. H. J. Grasett,
B.D., the present Rector. (See Engraving.)

lie), corners of Church, Shuter, and Bond Streets,
with an entrance on Bond Street. This is the largest
church in Toronto, and is capable of accommodating
about 3000 persons. It is in the early decorated style
of English Gothic architecture, built of white brick and
cut-stone dressings, of fine bold proportions, being 200
feet in length by 90 feet in width, and, with the tran-
septs, making a total width of 115 feet exterior dimen-
sions. Its bold, rich style of architecture, combined
with great simplicity of form, gives grandeur in general
effect; the windows are large, and filled with rich
tracery of great variety, the eastern window of seven
lights being 36 feet high and 18 feet wide ; the transepts
have fine large rose windows, with rich canopied niches
in the gables. The building is wholly under one roof,
forming in the interior a nave 170 feet long, 40 feet
wide, and 66 feet in height, with piers and arches,
trifonium and rich ceiling. The side aisles are 180 feet
long by 20 feet wide, and 48 feet high, with a gallery
at the west end. The building was commenced in the
year 1845, and finished in 1847. The interior is under-
going a thorough renovation, and will be richly finished
in the course of a year or two. The tower and spire,
which are not yet completed, will be 250 feet high, of
a rich character ; the parapet of the tower has in the
centre of each face a niche, designed for a statue of St.
Michael, &;c. Estimated cost, 80,000 dollars.

The Bishop's House, or Palace, nearly adjoining the
north side of the Cathedral, is built in a style of archi-
tecture to correspond with the Cathedral, and has a good
effect. Both were erected from the designs and under

committee rooms, is on the first floor. This chamber
is also plainly fitted up; indeed, there is a baldness
about the whole building which is rather unpleasing.

admirable likeness to its great prototype of Hyde Park.
The outline is very nearly the same, and the transepts
are produced in miniature with excellent effect.

The site of the building is on the ordnance reserve,
nearly opposite the Lunatic Asylum. The designs
were prepared by Messrs. Flemming and Schrieber, of
Toronto, who have successfully reproduced a good copy
of the great original. The Architects state that the
essential part of the building is constructed of cast-
iron, the vertical walls of obscured glass, similar to that
used in the Dublin Exhibition Building, and the roof is
covered with tin. Its total length is 256 feet, and its
extreme width 144 feet, which includes a covered en-
trance 32 feet by 16 feet, on the southern front. The
total area under roof is upwards of 22,000 superficial
feet ; the galleries occupy about 11,000 feet ; four spa-

Council towards this object was 20,000 dollars, and of
the County Council 4,000 dollars. During the interval
of holding the Annual Provincial Exhibition in this city
the building will be used for Fairs, County Industrial

Caledonian Curling Club of Scotland, at Montreal, on
the 30th of January 1866 ; on its formation, it consisted
of 31 members; it nov/ numbers 109. The President

structure for the first commercial city in Upper Canada.
It is in the Doric style, from designs by Mr. K. TuUy,
and is 62 feet long by 40 feet wide, and two stories
high, with a portico over the entrance. An iron railing
surrounds the lot. Immediately in front is a flag-stafi",
from which floats the Union Jack. The duties received
now amount to about 800,000 dollars annually ; the im-
ports to 7,000,000 dollars, and the exports to 3,000,000
dollars. The Hon. Robert Spence is the Collector of the
port. The building stands at the foot of Yonge Street.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT, U. C. One of
the most attractive spots in Toronto are the buildings
and grounds of the Department of Public Instruction
for Upper Canada. This department includes the
Education Office and Depositories, an Educational
Museum, the Normal School, with two Model Common
Schools, and a Model Grammar School. These various
branches and institutions may be referred to in the fol-
lowing order : —

1. The Education Office (a non-political branch of
the executive government) has been established by the
Li'gislature for the administration — by a Chief Superin-
tendent of Education appointed by the Crown — of the

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.

Superintendent amounts to nearly 4,000 (including about
eighty County Grammar Schools), attended by 300,000
pupils, as reported in 1858. The various parliamentary
grants, and other official funds administered by tLe
Chief Superintendent, amount to something like 250,000
dollars per annum. (The total annual expenditure for
education in Upper Canada is about 1,500,000 dollars).
This officer also provides libraries, maps, and apparatus
for the Riblic Schools, and has the superintendence of
the Normal and Model Schools, besides issuing a
monthly Journal of Education for Upper Canada.

2. The Educational Museum includes specimens of
Canadian natural history, and the best varieties of maps»
charts, diagrams, philosophical apparatus, and school
furniture. It also contains an extensive and beautiful
collection of copies of celebrated Italian, Dutch, and
Flemish oil paintings and engravings, and casts in plaster
of Paris of some of the most noted groups of statuary
(ancient and modern), together with a collection of
English, Canadian, and Classical busts, &c. Free ad-
mission to this Museum may be obtained daily on appli-
cation at the department.

3. The Normal School was established in 1847, and is
designed for the training of Comftion School Teachers,
under the direction of a Council of Public Instruction
for Upper Caiuida. About 150 student-teachers attend
annually during the two sessions, and receive tuition
free, besides a sessional allowance towards defraying
the expenses of their board. Connected with this insti-
tution are —

4. The Model Common Schools, including one for boys

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENli

and another for ,irls. In these schools, the male and
female students learn to practise their profession. They
are designed as models of the best Common Schools.
The number of pupils attending each school is 150.

6. The Model Grammar School, also under the direc-
tion of the Council of Pubhc Instruction, is intended to
exemplify the best methods of teaching all the subjects
embraced in a thorough Grammar-School education, as
a model for the Grammar Schools of the country, besides
being a sort of Normal Classical School. The number
of pupils is limited to 100. This school faces Gerrard
Street, the rear of which may be seen in the Engrav-
ing.

The main building, as seen in the Engraving, is of
white brick, with stone dressings, and is 184 feet front
by 85 feet deep. The front is in the Roman-Doric order
of Palladian character, having for its centre four stone
pilasters of the full height of the building, with pedi-
ment, surmounted by an open Doric cupola — total
height, 95 feet. In the centre of the building is a large
Examination Hall, or Theatre, capable of accommo-
dating nearly 700 persons. The corner stone was laid
in July 1851, by the Earl of Elgin, Governor-General,
who was a noble friend to popular education. The
Architects were Messrs. Cumberland and Ridout.

The grounds in front of the building, facing Goold
Street, are beautifully laid out, designed no less to cul-
tivate the taste of the teachers in training, than to con-
tribute to the gratification of the public. They are
very much admired. They contain specimens of Cana-
dian and foreign trees, flowers, and shrubs. The play-

yards, gymnastic sheds, and cricket grounds are at the
east, west, and north of the building.

The entire square contains nearly eight acres. Tlte
cost of the site and of the four buildings erected upon it
does not exceed 126,000 dollars. The whole establish-
ment is liberally supported by the Legislature, and is
deservedly popular. The system of public instru iion
in Upper Canada, of which, as Lord Elgin icmarked, it
is the " seed plot" and centre, was founded by the Rev.
Dr. Ryerson, in 1846-1850. The principal officers of
the department are as follows :— The Rev. Egerton
Ryerson, D.D., Chief Superintendent of Education ;
the Hon. Samuel B. Harrison, Q.C., Chairman of the
Council of Public Instruction ; J. George Hodgins, Esq.,
M.A., Deputy Superintendent of Education ; Thomas J.
Robertson, Esq., M.A., Head Master of the Normal
School ; George R. R. Cockburn, Esq., M.A., Rector of
the Model Grammar School.

EMIGRANT OFFICE, Front Street. A. B. Hawke,

ESPLANiU[)E in front of the bay will extend, when
completed, from Queen Street Wharf to Gooderham's
Windmills. It will be 100 feet wide, and will be
faced with stone. It is being constructed by the Grand
Trunk Railway Company.

EXCHANGEE BUILDINGS. This fine building has
two entrances — the principal one on Wellington Street,
and the other on Berczy Street. It is 140 feet long by
64 feet wide. In front there is a receding portico of
the Grecian-Doric order, the entrances to which lead to
the basement and to the main building. From the land-

ing there runs a corridor 130 feet long, on either side of
which are the first-class offices. Near the entrance are
two principal staircases, leatring to a reading-room,
60 feet by 20, and to the upper corridor. From the
Berczy Street entrance access is had to the basement,
and also to the first floor, by two flights of stairs,
24 feet wide. The " Exchange " is on this floor, and is
a fine room of an oval shape, 60 feet by 30 feet, and 40
feet high, lighted by a circular ornamental glass dome.
Here are also brokers' offices, committee rooms, &c. A
gallery surrounds the inner wall of the Exchange room,
communicating with the rooms of the Board of Trade,
and other offices. The building is provided with every
convenience. Its cost, including 10,800 dollars for the
site, was 63,000 dollars. Mr. James Grand was the
Architect. There is a Newsroom and Telegraph Office
connected with the building.

EXPRESS COMPANIES. The principal Express
Companies are the British and American and Vickers'
Northern Express. Offices, Toronto Street.

FIRE BRIGADE consists of eight companies, num-
bering about 250 men. Mr. James Ashfield is the Chief
Engineer. There are six engines and hook and ladder
apparatus ; also six engine stations, in various parts of
the city. The Brigade is a volunteer association, con-
trolled by the City Corporation, which defrays the
ordinary expenses.

trance to the bay, and are a collection of substantial
stone buildings with tinned roofs. They were erected
in 1841, and cost 88,000 dollars. They are at present
occupied by the Canadian Rifles, under Lieutenant-
Colonel Bradford. The enrolled pensioners, under
Lieutenant-Colonel Tulloch, occupy the old Garrison
and Bathurst Street Barracks.

building. The grounds are very beautiful, and are
neatly kept. It is the official residence of His Excel-
lency the Governor-General, when the seat of govem.-
ment is at Toronto.

English, modified, was prepared by Mr. William Hay.
It consists of a centre and three wings, occupying a
quadrangular space of 170 feet by 120 feet. There are
a central and four lesser towers, with flat roofs and rail-
ings, one at each corner. The upper story of the central
tower contains a museum chamber. In the upper parts
of tbe towers are placed the reservoirs for the water
supply of the building. The theatre, under which is
the mortuary, projects from the centre, and is a distinct
wing. It is an oblong room, semi-circular at one end,
and galleried. Each story has roomy balconies. The
building includes all the recent improvements, and is
fitted up with the usual conveniences. It cost about
70,000 dollars. The Hospital is sustained by an endow-
ment, and a yearly legislation grant. Charles
Qardner, M.D., is the Resident Surgeon. The number
of patients which can be accommodated is 230. The
physicians attend at 12 o'clock noon daily. Visitors can
see their friends daily, except Sunday, from 3 to 6 p.m.

HOTELS. The principal are the Rossin House, the
American, Ellah's, and the Revere.

The Rossin House justly stands at the head of
Toronto Hotels, in point of size and style. It has a
frontage of 203 feet on King Street, and 157 feet on
York Street, and is five stories high. The four upper
stories alone are occupied by the Hotel, the handsome
main entrance to which is on York Street. There is a
private entrance at either end of the building. The
ground floor contains fifteen shops with cast-iron fronts
and plate glass windows. The upper stories in front

Dining-Room is 90 feet long by 40 feet wide, and is 18
feet high. The total number of rooms in the building
is 252. They are heated by steam. The Hotel is fur-
nished with all the appliances of first-class hotel «?, and
is an ornament and credit to the city. The Hotel is
owned by stockholders, of whom the Messrs. Rossin
are the principal. The present lessee is Mr. Joslir..

The Ameincan Hotel, corner of Yonge and Front
Streets, is a very neat, plain building, and is well
managed. It is a highly popular Hotel.

EllaKs Hotel, a highly respectable private Hotel, is
situated on the corner of Bay and Front Streets.

The Revere (late Sword's) is a very good Hotel, on
Front Street.

HOUSE OF INDUSTRY, Elm Street. This neat
building is 100 feet long by 49 feet, and was erected
from designs by Mr. William Thomas at a cost, includ-
ing 1460 dollars for the site, of 7460 dollars. It will
accommodate 90 inmates. It is supported I y subscrip-
tions and an annual parliamentary grant. Including
out-door relief granted, the yearly expenses are about
5000 dollars.

HOUSE OF PROVIDENCE, Tower Street. In
its general appearance this building is like the New
Hospital. It is designed as a Roman Catholic "hospital

front by 130 feet rear. The centre is 62 feet wide, and
the wings 30 feet, varying from 5 to 6 stories high.
The style is that which prevailed in France about
1620-1540. The central part now erected is of white
brick, and is 145 feet by 62 feet. It cost 40,000 dollars.
The entire building will cost 100,000 dollars.

ISLAND. This strip of land, forming to a great
extent the bulwark or breakwater of the bay, extends
from the new entrance to the harbour at the east to
the point nearly opposite the Garrison. It is much re-
sorted to by the citizens, and is a fine airy place for
enjoyment and exercise. A steamboat connects it with
the city in summer, and ice-boats and sleighs in
winter. A lighthouse is erected on Gibraltar-point, its
extreme western limit. From the island the view of the
city is agreeable and striking.

JACQUES AND HAY'S FACTORY, for cabinet-
ware and upholstery, has been twice burned down, but
is now rebuilt, and is more extensive and complete than
ever. The main building is 120 feet long by 60 feet
wide, and is five stories high ; another in the rear is
130 by 25 feet. It is on the Esplanade, and is the
most extensive factory of the kind in Canada.

JAIL of the city and county is situated at the foot
of Berkeley Street on the bay shore. It consists of a
central stone building with three radiating wings, and
cost 64,000 dollars. Mr. J. G. Howard was the
Architect. The oid jail stood on Toronto Street,
and has now been converted into handsome shops
and offices. Mr. Geo. L. Allen is the Governor. A new
City Jail near the Don River is in course of erection.

dressings. The building was designed by Mr. J. G.
Howard. The Architect's description of it is as follows :
— " The northern fa9ade is 584 feet long, comprising a
centre building and two wings, terminating at the east
and west ends with semi-circular verandaiis, three
stories high from the basement, secured by vertical
bars of iron to prevent accidents; these were con-
structed for the purpose of allowing the patients fresh
air when the v/eather will not admit of their going out ;
they are arranged for six classes of patients — three
classes of males and three of females. The chief archi-
tectural feature about the building consists of a hexa-
style portico in the Grecian-Ionic order, of cut stone ;
the columns are raised upon a lofty rusticated base, go-

cupying a story and a half in height, with two handsome
flights of stone steps and bold stone landing ; the tym-
panum of the pediment is ornamented with the royal
arms in has relief. The centre building is surmounted
by a lofty dome covered with tin (which can be seen
for 30 miles on the lake), within which is the wrought
iron tank or reservoir, capable of containing 11,000
gallons of water, which is pumped up daily from the
lake by a steam engine. The water is distributed
through lead pipes to all parts of the building." The
Asylum is fitted up with the usual conveniencies re-
quired in such institutions. The building contains
three Chapels, an Anatomical Room and Museum, a
large Ball-room, and Apartments for the Superintendent
and other officials. The cost of the building was 226,000
dollars, and of the out-buildings, lodges, and brick
wall, 20,000 dollars— total, 246,000 dollars. Th'^' brick
wall encloses the front and two ends of the grounds.
The lodge entrances are very neat buildings. The
annual expenditure of the Institution is about 60,000
dollars, of which 3,600 dollars are received from friends
of patients ; the remainder is derived from parliamen-
tary grant. As the number of patients has increased
beyond the capacity of the present building, a female
branch has been est-iblished in a stone building in the
University Park, formerly King's College. The total
number of patients is about 400. Dr. Joseph Work-
man is the present Superintendent.

MAGNETICAL OBSERVATORY. This valuable
provincial Observatory is situated in University Park,
south of the new University, with which it is coiuiected.

tion of this fine building was the result of a most
praiseworthy liberality on the part of the public, and
of the members of the Institute. It is of white brick,
with stone dressings. The Architects were Messrs.
Cumberland and Storm. The design is Italian in its
main features. The frontage on Church Street is 80
feet, and on Adelaide Street 104 feet. The cost was
about 40,000 dollars. The building contains a large
Music Hall, 76 feet long by 46 feet wide (with ante-
rooms), the entrance to which is on Adelaide Street.
It also contains a Lecture-Theatre capable of holding
500 persons, a large Reading-room, Library, Committee
and Apparatus Rooms, with other accommodation.

The Mechanics' Institute was organized in 1830, and
incorporated in 1847. The Hon. Dr. Baldwin was its
first President. In 1844 its members numbered 100;
they now number nearly 700. The Library contains
about 3,500 volumes, and somewhat near 550 members
avail themselves of its advantages. Lectures are de-
livered every winter on popular subjects, and classes
for instruction have from time to time been formed.
Annual Industrial Exhibitions have also been held. The
annual income of the Institute is about 2,000 dollars,
including a parliamentary grant of 200 dollars. (See
Engraving.)

OSGOODE HALL. This handsome building will,
when finished, contain all the Superior Law Courts'of
Upper Canada. It is situated on Queen Street at the
head of York Street. It consists of a main building and
two wings designed in the Roman-Ionic style of architec-
ture. The east wing was built in 1829-32, and the west
wing in 1844-5. The central portion, which was only
temporary, has been removed to make room for a more
massive and appropriate structure, of which Messrs.
Cumberland and Storm are the Architects. The new
centre has a fine and noble portico, corresponding
with those in either wing. The Law Library, which is
very valuable, will be in the front of this central build-
ing, in a room 110 feet long by 40 feet wide, and 40
feet higli ; beneath the same, there will be certain of
the public law offices. In the rear of the Library
there is a central hall of two stories, lighted from the
roof, and having open corridors, and two heights or
orders of arches around the same. Around the central
hall is grouped the Public Law Offices and Record
Vaults on the ground floor, and above them the Courts
of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas, Practice Court,
Court of Appeal, Probate Court, Judges' Rooms, and
other necessary accommodations of like cha^'acter.
The whole of the west wing is occupied by the Court
of Chancery ; having a room for the sittings of the

on the bay shore, east of Simcoe Street, and consist of
a main central building and two wings. They are of
plain red brick, without much architectural pretensions
outside ; but within were very handsomely fitted up,
while the Legislature was in Toronto. The Legislative

ST. LAWRENCE HALL, King Street East. This
building is one of the finest of the kind in Upper
Canada. It admirably unites in itself both th'^ useful
and the beautiful. A fine Market Arcade in th- centre,
with handsome shops on either side in front, and offices
above, it crowns all with a Music Hall running the
whole depth of the building, which for its size is very
tastefiil, and highly creditable to the city. These
several parts of the building united have, under the
skilful hands of tiie Architects, Messrs. W. Tliomas and
Sons, produced a structure wliicli is both imposing in its
exterior and elegant in its design. Were tlio St. Law-
rence Hall isolated from surrounding imildiugs, and
viewed from a distance, its fine proportions and size
could not fail to impress the spectator.

rated. The walls are painted in fresr ind panelled,
with appropriate figures and devi es ^^uding the
royal arms, the arms of Upper and Lov uada, and

of the city. The Arcade in front is 75 feet in depth,
and the continuation in the rear, running to the next
street, is 200 more, by 39 feet wide. It is neatly fitted
up with shops and stalls. The Market Arcade is lighted
by windows from above in the day, and by gas at night.
The front entrance to this Arcade is through a triple
archway of cut stone ; that to the Music Hall is by a
door to the right. This hall is used for various public
purposes, and the fee charged for its use, which is fixed
by the Corporation, is moderate. Tlie building is of
white brick, but the whole of the front is of cut stone.
The style or order of architecture which has been
adopted is that of the Roman Corinthian, from the
example of the Temple of Jupiter Stator. The centre
is a tetrastyle portico of four three-quarter columns,
with ston3 pilasters at either side. The city arms are
finely cut in stone, and stand out boldly in the centre
of the pediment, underneath which are the words —
"St. Lawrence Hall," also cut in relief in stone.
The key-stones of the triple arch below are formed of
three classic heads representing Neptune, and the rivers
St. Lawrence and Ottawa. The enrichments on the
head of the pillars, &c,, are designed to represent plenty,

and other allegorical devices. The cupola which sur-
mounts the entire building forms a circular temple of
the Corinthian order, and contains a large clock and
alarum-bell. The whole cost of the building was
about 30,000 dollars, independent of the shops. (See
Engraving.)

SCHOOLS. CUp jPuhlic Schools include the Gram-
mar and Common Schools. The County Grammar
School is held in an old building on Nelson Street.

Rochester, and Oswego. A bay steamboat connects
Toronto with the island opposite.

TELEGRAPH, THE. Toronto is connected with all
the principal cities and towns in Canada, the United
States, and the Eastern British Provinces. The Mon-
treal Telegraph Company is the principal business line,
but each railway company has its own independent
wire. The public Telegraph Oflfice is in the Toronto
Exchange.

TEMPERANCE HALLS. There are two of these
buildings in the city. The one to the east is situated
on Temperance Street ; that to the west, on Spadina
Avenue. They are neat, plain structures.

TRINITY COLLEGE UNIVERSITY.

' THEATRE, or Royal Lyceum, King Street East.

TRINITY COLLEGE UNIVERSITY. This hand-
some structure is situated on Queen Street West. It
stands in a spacious park of 20 acres, facing the entrance
to the bay, from which point it presents a very strik-
ing appearance. It is a great ornament to the west end
of the city, and a noble monument of the unwearied
zeal of Dr. Strachan, the first Protestant Bishop of
Toronto. The modifications in the original charter of
King's College not having been acceptable to the
Bishop and his friends, this venerable Prelate in 1850,
when in his 72d year, undertook the onerous task of
collecting both in England and in Canada suflBcient
funds to enable them to erect a college which would be
strictly Church of England in its character. In 1861,
this new college was erected at a cost of ^8,000, after
plans prepared by Mr. Kivas Tully. The building is
of white brick, with stone dressings, and is designed in
the third period of pointed English architecture (temp.
1480-1620). It faces the south, and is 260 feet in front,
with wings projecting east and west 63 feet each. The
porch of the principal entrance in the centre is of cut
stone, over which is a bay window and ornamented
gable to correspond. There are also handsome bay
windows in each wing, with gables and windows similar
to those over the entrance. The centre building is sur-
mounted by a bell turret ; smaller turrets ornament the
wings. The building is designed to afford accommoda-
tion for eighty students, with the Class-rooms, Chapel,
Library, and Museum — also Private Residences for the
Provost and two senior Professors. The principal officers

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO. This magnificent
pile of buildings, which has recently been erected upon
the University Park, will provide accommodation not
only for the University of Toronto (which simply confers
degrees), but also for University College, with its vari-
ous lecture-rooms, residences, and students' quarters.
The park originally consisted of 168 acres (including 12
acres of avenue); but part having been retained for
government purposes, 104 acres were set apart as
an university park in 1856. Out of this number,
60 acres have been taken to form a public park
for the citizens of Toronto. The remainder forms the
site of the new university buildings. TViJjse build-
ings have been designed by Mr. F. W. Ounberland,
who, at the request of the Senate of the University
visited Europe, with a view to familiarize himself with
the most noted collegiate buildings there. The plans
were prepared by Messrs. Cumberland and Storm. They
were approved by the Senate and by the Government,
and in 1857 the buildings were commenced. The fol-
lowing is a brief description of them :— The chief
facades of the University building are to the south and
east ; the former of great and massive elevation, for dis-
tant effect from the lake and town — the latter of more

broken and picturesque outline, for combination with
the beautiful ravine lying between it and the main park
avenue, from which it will be chiefly viewed. The
general outline of the buildings approaches the form of
a square, having an internal quadrangle of about 200
feet square, the north side of which is left open to the
park.

The main frontage on the south is about 300 feet long,
with a massive Norman tower in its centre 120 feet in
height, and comprising two stories, that on the ground
being devoted to lecture rooms, the upper story to the
Library and Museum — two fine rooms 80 feet by 36 feet
each, with public and collegiate reading rooms attached.
These, which may be called the public portion of the
building, are entered by the tower, and by a central
hall of the full height of the building, from which the
Library and Museum are approached to the right and
left respectively.

The east side of the building, 260 feet in length, is
entered by a subsidiary tower, approached over the
ravine before mentioned. This wing and entrance is
devoted to the University, having Senate Chamber,
Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, and Registrar's Rooms,
Lecture Rooms, and the Hall of Convocation, 90 feet
by 38 feet, of t! e full height.

The west end of the quadrangle, about 200 feet in
length, will comprise the students' residences, three
stories in height, with a dining-hall 66 by 34 to the
north, and having to the rear the necessary domestic
offices, steward's residence, and the like.

spectively will be completed by the official residences of
the President and Dean of the College, and at the south-
west angle of the whole structure has been erected the
Chemical Laboratories, Theatre, &c.

The general accommodation is comprised in the Lec-
ture Theatre and nine Class Rooms, with Professors'
Rooms attached, Library and Reading Rooms, Museum,
with Preparation and Curator's Rooms, Senate Cham-
ber, Chancellor's Rooms, and other University Offices.
The Convocation Hall, President's and Dean's Resi-
dence, quarters for 60 or 70 students, with College
Dining Hall, and all necessary appurtenances.

The style adopted is Norman, with some approach in
outline to the symmetry more identical with Roman-
esque. This latter description, however, applies more
particularly to the southern fa9ade, in which the pecu-
liar requisites of the building seem to have dictated a
regularity of form, but which is departed from else-
where, for the broken and more picturesque outline
common to the latter system. The structure taken as
a whole, will be of massive character, though too low.
The tower is of that bold and simple form which seeks
for effect rather from magnitude than detail. A large
proportion of these buildings has been constructed in
stone, but in some parts brick has been introduced.
The large rooms including the Library, Museum, and
Hall of Convocation have open timber roofs, and it is
proposed in these to introduce sculpture and stained
glass with a view to completion of effect.

The grounds and park, which are approached by
^venues from Queen and Yonge Streets, will be hand-

somely laid out and planted. Part of the grounds will
be appropriated to the purposes of a Botanical Garden.
Within the grounds are the buildings of the Magne-
tical Observatory, which see.

Until the new buildings were ready, the business of
the University and the University College was con-
ducted in the temporary buildings to the south of the
new structure. The University Library and Museum in
these buildings are very creditable, and form a valuable
nucleus of the proposed enlarged ones. The former
contains about 15,000 volumes, and is accessible to the
public ; and the latter, a good collection of natural his-
tory specimens. It is proposed to expend at least
300,000 dollars on the new buildings, and 80,000 on the
enlargement of the Library and Museum. (See En-
graving.)

The University of Toronto, designed to be provincial
in its character, has at present but one college (out of
the five in Upper Canada) affiliated with it, viz., Uni-
versity College, for the accommodation of which class
and lecture-rooms, &c., have been liberally provided in
the new University buildings. The Upper Canada Col-
lege, or Royal Grammar School, is connected with it,
and is under the control of the University Senate.
University College is governed by a College Council ;
and, under its able President (the Rev. Dr. M'Caul)
and its numerous learned Professors, is deservedly
l)opular.

The principal officers of the University and Univer-
sity College are as follows: — The Hon. Mr. Justice
