THE FIRST DRlVf. The First Drive which the stranger should take will be a visit to the Ursuline Convent, which was founded by Madame de la Peltrie in 1641. The convent was twice destroyed by iire, once iu 1650 and again in 1686, after which it was again erected, but many additicni have since been made and the present buildings are very extensive, and the pupils number 200. nfb » The Ursuline Nuns are oloistBred and are cele- brated for their piety and attainments.

The tattered colors ot the ^9th Regiment are j)laced in the dfaureh. The Basilica Minor, thereto raised by Pio Nono in 1874, was consecrated in >666 by Motiseigneurr de Laval, an eminent divine, who became flrtrt bishop of the colony 'and who was founder of' the Seminary School, which has added to itself tt U^iretMty, boar' tng the name of the founder; iiiwi^ >nf-vi c.n-a^a-.

St. Charles Borrommee* TIIR FIRST DRIVE. 5 Leaving the Basilica and the fJominary Chapel, the thive will be continued to* the Grand Battery, from which a magnihcent view of the St. Charles valley, the village of Beauport and the ranges of the Laur- entides can be had. There are fifty guns mounted on the Battery which command the entrance to the Harbor. In 1775, Arnold marched his men alon« the streets immediately below and suffered a defeat. Quito close where was Hope Gate is the build- ing once occupied by GenerHl Montc«lm. Descend- ing from the Battery by Palace Hill the visitor f'hould not omi^ to visit the ruins of the Intendants'- PaJace, which are now used as vaults for the storage of beer, manufitctured immediately facing the ruins. The extent of the building can easily be traced, as,' although during its occupation by the troops in 1775 under Montgomery and Arnold, it was bombarded from the city and destroyed by fire, there are sulli- cient remains to judge of the once magnificent structure. Passing over Dorchoster Bridge which crosses the river St. Chules, cilled before the St. Croix and also the Cabir Coubat, the tourist reaches the village of Beauport, near which is the Beauport Asylum. 'J'hc line of road is beautified by rows of white cottages, fronted by small patches of garden. On the site of Beauport the English were defeated by the French in the attack made by Wolfe on Slst July, 1759, in which disastrous rencontre the English los* . ^arly seven hundred men. At about the distance o/ieven miles from the city are the Falls of Montmorency, which can be seen from either above or below. The views from both places being so grand the visitor is advised not to neglect a sight which has hardly a parallel. Leaving the Hotel on the further bank of the rushing river, he des- cends by a flight of steps on which is constructed a stand, commanding a view of the summit of the Falls, the sound of whose roar in that locality is more than bewildering. The wild leap of the mad waters d.- zles the brain and creates a whirl in the mind which is not easily forgotten. The view from TTfE FTRST DHiV^. below la eren more DMgnificent and grancT, for th& Wftlerdeftoeiuls as if froo socr^ unknown heights and •eems to threaten with deitruotion the beholder. It often happens that the atrafnger neglects tO" y'lMii a place of great inrterest, the Natural Steps^ whose beauftiea can hardl/ be described. They are not further situate^t than about h«ilf a miie above the Falls and are rea<*.hed by a deKghtful pathway through the woods and field^B. It is an* irregular forn»- Ation of stone step"), being perfectly horixontal am] descending to the bonk of too mad rapids. On one •ide the precipitous banks, reachkig. to over one hundred feet frown down upon thedlark threatening' water and are crowned and fringed by the evergreen Kir- tree and the delicate fern.

The entrance to the Citadel is through the Chain gate and afterwards Dalhousie gate, where a guide will be furnished. Immediately opposite are the Officers Quarters, in which the Princess Louise re- sided while in the city Within the walls are case- mated barracks, loop-holed for musketry and com- manding the trenches, with whioh the Citadel is surrounded, and the whole country landwards. The Harbor is commanded by strong batteries on which are mounted two Armstrongs and a Palliser. The Flagstaft' Bastion is over three hundred and tifty feet above tide water and the view from it is the grandest possible to be conceived. The St. Law- rence rolls magnificently onwards to the ocean and Point Levis, the Island of Orleans and the village of Beauport stand forth boldly in unrivalled beauty. To the west are the Plains of Abraham, rendered ever memorable by the battle, which transferred Canada to the Britis'i Crown. Proceeding through the trenches and over the Ghcis, the visitor can descend the steps to the Dutierin Terrace, a prome* nade from which a view may be had not to be sur- passed in the world. The Terrace was this year declared open by the Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Ix>uise, who were on the occasion greeted with a magnificent reception and illumination in the evening.

Driving through St. Roch by the Litte River Road the visitor will reach the Indian village of Lorette situate at about nine miles from the city On the road is the French Catholic Cemetery. In the centre of the village are the Falls of Lorette, a delightful piece of scenery, and enhanced by the chaTming walks laid out by the proprietor of the hotel Id the western part of the village are the houses of the leinams of the once powerful tribe of the Hurona who have their own church, which it is said was designed after the model of the church in Loretto m the old world, and whose legend has rendered it famous. Imm-diUely above the Falls is the Aque- duct, from which Quebec is supplied with water. Oi. the rrver the scenery is so charming that the stranger can hardly fail to visit It, and take a paddle up the stream through fairy vistas of woodland grandeur to Lake St. Charles The visitor can in lorette pur chase all kinds of Indian workmanship and test the dexterity of the Indian youth in shooting for coppers and the beauty of ihe Indian laaidens in needle work e THE THIRD DRIVE. ,* Toe Third Drive will be over the Grande A Met or St Louis roui, leading to the famed Plains of Abra- ham, whereon la erected a monument bearing the following inscription : ^ '•This pillar was elected by the Britiph army in ^anada, A.D., 1849, His Excellency Lieutenjint- GeneralSirBenjimio d'Urban being commander of the forces, to replace that erected by Governor- (leneral Lord Aylmer, in 1832, which was brouen and defaced and is deposited beneath." At the time of the battle the centre of the French hne was in the vicinity of the St. Bridget's Asylum, their left wing extending towards the St. Lawrence and the right to the St. Charles valley, down which ithey retreated after the defeat Afterpassmg the Toll Gate, for about a hundred yards, the visitor will be upon the ground occupied by the English centre, the left wing extending to- wards the St. Charles and the right towards the St. Lawrence. At the western part of the Plains is the locality known at the time of Wolfe's victory as the Ruisseau St. Denis, through whose vale the ascent was made. The Sillery Convent, called the Convent of Jesus Mane, and the Church of St. Columba stand on the heights above Sillery, where in times past there were camps of the Algonquin tribes of Indians at that time protected by the French from their foes the Iriqrois. In connection with this Indian set- tlement Is the discovery, a short time since, of the remnins of the Jesuit Missionary Emmanuel Masse, to whose memory a monument has been erected by several citizens A church was built on the ^pot by' the Commander of Sillery in 1677. 10 THE TMrHD DlilVE. Woodiield Cemetery, appertaining to St. Patrick' at Church, is a most beautiful spot , are few monuments to be seen, as present there the acquisi* tion has been but recently made ; but in Mount Hermon, the Protestant Cemetery, there are yery fine monuments, and among them one in remem- brance of a heart breaking incident, the death of many newly arrived immigrants by the burning of the steamer '^Montreal." Descending to Champlain street, and very near the foot of tbe Citadel, will be noticed the place where Montgomery fell on the occasion of his assault on the city, on the midnight of 3l8t December, 1775. Passing through the Lower Town, which is the mercantile locality, there i» nothing of great interest to attract attention except the ancient style ot architecture of many of the houses. Very nearly opposite the Quebec Bank is where Arnold erected a barricade and frOm which he was dislodged after a severe skirmish, in which the Canadian Volunteers covered themselves with glory. The drive out by the St. Foy road is one of the most beautiful round the city, and commands a grand ' view of the St. Charles valley, the Laurentides and the St. Lawrence below Quebec, reaching as far as Cape Tourment ; and in tine weather th<) spray from the Montmorency Falls is clearly disceinable^ A monument erected to thosr whofell in the battle of St. Foy, is erected at about two miles from the city, and bears the simple inscription : <eing a tr.itor, secured IZ.M' t ^ ^'"Pnsonment, relieved by the intiu- ♦'ncQ ot his quondam mistress, Ma.;, J r , -j'. -Jl i.r-r* CHAUOIERE. ■■1':* -to"! -'rjirJ'i ohii'j The visitor to Quebec should not fail to visit the Town of Levis, en whose heights once encamped the British troops in )759 and bombarded the city. Not Jong since an encampment of Indians was located at the place now called St. Joseph de Levis, and the citisena and strangers were then wont to make excursions to interview these dusky roamers. In rear of the Town of Levis are constructed three Forts, for the protection landwards of the position. They are of triangular formation, the base facing the city and consisting simply of a wall, without any de- fence except theditch, leaving ilopen to be battered by the guns of the Citadel in the event of occupation by an enemy. The two other sides are strongly loop holed casements, protected by a glacis, and having loop holed caponni^res at the angles to sweep the ditch and which are reached by subterranean passagei. The ditch all round the fort is twenty feet deep by about forty feet in width and is crossed at only one point by a draw bridge, which is removed at will. Each fort contains at least one large well and has accommodation for about four hundred men. Number one which is situated in rear of the Grand Trunk Station, is altogether built of stone, while the exterior facings of the casements of numb -^ 2 and 3 are of brick. The magazines are two in numbei' and are built to contain a large quantity of powder. The present armament of each fort consists of but one pivot giin, a seven inch breach loading Arm- strong, throwing a projectile of 120 lbs., but at very short notice the three forts could be completely armed from the vast stores in the Citadel. These forts cost the English Government $1 000 000. ]C LKVIS FORTS AND FALLS OF THE CHAlDlERli. hunrlrpri at^.i *u- * ^\'.**6»rH. i ney are about one The „iM „a.r tufh oVerre°p?:otpfc"'„rh"'ih« Furs and Indian Curiosities.
