V. 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

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

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.

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.

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.

houses disfigure the river side. 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

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

J, T. 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

swimmer nercr rose. 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. This branch of

mounted by a cupola, covered with zinc in fish-scale pattern. The
court, the walls of which are lined with white Dutch tiles, a novel
feature in this country, presents a very light, clear and handsome
appearance, while the ornamental iron railing and columns sur-
rounding the galleries, bronzed and painted a rich cobalt colour,
give it altogether a cool and chaste character. The fittings of the
offices of the " Royal Insurance Company,"'of carved oak through-
out, are in keeping with the architecture of the building, and are,
without exception, the handsomest in the city. The building is
divided by four fire-proof brick partitions.

Protestant House of Industry and Refuob. This institution
consists of two large, substantial looking brick buildings, near
Bleury street. The building in front is three stories high, and
measures 60 by 50 feet, forming that portion of the institution
where the various offices, board room, superintendent's dwelling,
&c., are situated. On the ground floor are two shops, a spa-
cious entrance hall and staircase, giving access to the above
named rooms, which are on the second stor%jy ; above them in
the third storey are dormitories for the more respectable por-
tion of the community who may require temporary shelter, and
who would not like to be placed in the ''House of Refuge"
proper, which latter is in the rear building, 60 feet by 40,
connected with the front one by a covered corridor, and con-
sists of, on the ground floor, a spacious kitchen, with large
cooking kitchen attached, superintendent's office, separate recep-
tion rooms, and staircases for the male and female applicants,
closets, &c. On the second storey are the women's dormitories,
with water closets, &c., attached ; while the third storey con-
tains similar accommodation for men. Laundry, drying room,
bath rooms for both males and females, fuel cellars, &c., are all
provided in the basement. The whole building is thoroughly
heated by steam. The rooms are large, lofty, and well ven-
tilated, and great care appears to have been taken to obtain
that great desideratum in an institution of this kind, viz. : to
keep the two sexes totally separated, and at the same time to
be so near the superintendent's apartments as to be at all times
'fender his immediate supervision.

tain and city can be obtained. The building, which is fitted up
with every modern comfort and convenience, is heated throughout

American Presbyterian Church. This building is a copy
of Park Church, Brooklyn, N.Y., and has a massive appear-
ance, yet without any great pretensions to architectural beauty,
no particular style being applied in the design. Its length over
all is 144 feet, and the width 86 feet. The ceiling is 44 feet
from the floor. The front elevation on Dorchester street has two
towers, one at each angle, the one next Drummond street finished
with a spire rising to a height of 200 feet above the street, the
other being finished square at about 80 feet high. The auditorium
is 90 feet long by 76 feet wide, and, with the galleries, will seat
1,200 persons. There is no basement, hence the lecture and
Sunday-school rooms are in the rear portion of the building, and
are each about 90 feet long by 30 feet wide. All the pews on tke
ground floor have a curved form, so that the minister can every-
where be seen without the listener sitting in an uneasy posture.

and a depth of 250 feet, consisting of a large entrance hall, on
each side of which there are dressing, hat and cloak rooms.
These rooms communicate with the rink, which covers an ayea of
16,160 superficial feet, and is surrounded by a promenade ten feet
wide, with a raised recess on one side for the land. The ice is
spanned by a semi-circular arch-like roof, 50 feet high, which
springing from the ground, is so constructed as to give an appa-
rent lightness of effect, combined with great strength, the sur-
rounding walls being merely a casing as it were for the space.
The building, which bears very much the appearance of an English
railway station, is lighted at night by numerous gas jets, and is
reported t« by the youth and beauty of our city, for whose use
every convenience seems to have been taken into account.

feqs., Architects, whose design was unanimously adopted after a
competition. The structure has three frontages or fagades, faced
tfeth Ohio sandstone. The shafts of the Doric colums of the por-
tico (ground floor,) and those of the Corinthian columns forming
itie centre of the second story on the Great St. James street front,
Ifere of polished Peterhead granite, the red tint of which has a fine
^ect. The principal entrance to the bank is in the centre of the
Iproand floor of this front, and the private entrance in the east or
court fagade, entered from the same street. The third front, in
St. Peter street, has a separate and independent entrance to com-
iiiodious chambers which occupy the first a. id second floors,
decupled by Messrs. W. B. Cordier & Co., publishers of the " Satur-
day Reader" &c., &c., are thoroughly heated and ventilated, and
fitted with lavatories, water closets, dust holes and bin, porter's
room, &c. 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. The substructure
of the principal fagade on Great St. o ames street is a stylobate of
massive vermiculated rustic, from which rise broad pilasters or
fusticated piers on either side of the central projection or portico
Which extends to the street line, the whole including one tier of
openings, and surmounted with a regular Doric entablature. Of
^e five compartments into which the ground floor of this fagade
% divided, the central one is somewhat wider than the rest, and
displays a handsome entrance doorway of large proportions and
^eeply recessed, approached by a flight of steps externally. An
Intablature marking the separation of the second story from the
ford Of attic story, and projecting forward in the centre of the
Building over the four Corinthian columns, is enriched with medal-
lions and dentils to correspond in richness and effect with the
lers.

capitals of the columns. The upper part of the building is ter-
minated with an attic cornice, breaking forward with the centre
of the building, Which corresponds in width with the portico on
the ground floor. Thus the eflFect of a centre, indicated by the
projecting portico on the ground floor, is maintained throughout
the whole height of the building, and, being surmounted with a
sculptured group, forms the most prominent feature in the compo-
sition. Another noticeable feature in this building is the stacks
of chimneys carried up above the attic cornice. These are executed
in rubbed sandstone, and are of an ornamental character, showtng
that they have been the subject of thought, and that the designing
of them has not been neglected by the architects, as is too often
the case in modern buildings.

manding building is in the Gothic style of architecture. The
length is 240 feet, by 90 feet in breadth ; the spire is 225 feet high.
The interior is comfortably and handsomely fitted up, with room
for over 5,000 worshippers. Taken altogether, this is a splendid
model of ecclesiastical architecture.

This will eventually be one of the finest thoroughfares in the
city, -^n account of its great breadth and fine prospects at either
extremity ; having the Victoria Square and a distant glimpse of
the mountain at one end, and a fine view of the river and the
Victoria Bridge at the other. This street was formerly the bound-
ary of the city proper ; on the west and beyond lie Griffintown
and the St. Antoine Suburb. There are a number of very fine
stores, but no public building of any note in this street.
Sailors' Home, in Young's building, corner of William street, is
one of the most useful institutions in the city, affording siielter to
the distressed mariner and a place of resort for the sailors of the
port. It contains a good library and reading room, together with
a number of amusements, all of which tend to keep the " tar " out
of evil places, and away from evil companions, -•

of the earliest days of Montreal, while perhaps its immediate
neighbour, a lofty stone block, at once restores our associations to
modern times.
Dalhousie Square, at the head of this street, is occupied on the
left as a cab stand, while on the right are a number of cut stone
dwelling houses now occupied as officers' quarters by the Royal
Artillery and Engineers. The enclosure in front is very neatly
fitted out with flowers, shrubs, &c., and a fountain in the centre.
DoNEGANA Hotel is a large, handsome looking building, and is
known as one of the first-class Canada hotels. Is frequented
principally by Southerners. Is in one of the best situations in the
city, and has the Mess Houses of one of H. M's Regiments on each
side of it ; the bands of either of which regiments play in the
inclosure in front of the Mess several evenings during the week.
Government Garden is a handsomely decorated plot of ground
belonging to Government, and leased by them to one of our prin-
cipal seedsmen, Mr. George Shepherd, who seems to pay great
attention to its cultivation.
Jacques C artier Normal School is a large building opposite
the garden above mentioned. It is under the direction of R. C.
priests, and is well conducted. The offices of the Superintendent
of Education for Lower Canada are in the same building, which,
by-the-bye, was once used as the Government House by the French
governors.
Jacques C artier Square is a large open space extending from
this street to the river. A magnificent view of the Victoria
Bridge and St. Helen's Island is to be had from this square, which
rises towards Notre Dame street with a considerable incline.

Nilson's Monument, situated at the head of the above square,
is invariably visited by all strangers, and never fails to excite the
deepest interest ; on the pedestal were representations of three of
the battles in which this gallant hero fought. 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. This is a large and stately pile of cut stone
buildings, in the Grecian Ionic style, The ground plan is 300 by
125 feet, and the height is 76 feet. The order of architecture
followed was that of the temple of Ilius, which is one of the finest
specimens of Grecian art. The building contains large fire-proof
vaults, fine Court rooms for the Appeal, Circuit, Superior, Crimi-
nal, and Police Courts, and it also contains the offices of the
Wt^tcJies, Chains and Jewellery at 53

together with the different offices in connection with the several
Courts. The whole building is heated with hot air, lighted with
gas, and supplied with water and all other conveniences. At the
end of the Court House, in the square leading to the Champ de
Mars, is a small fountain, furnished with drinking cups.
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. A large and handsome church has
lately been erected on the grounds of the Nunnery.

Masonic Hall, on the corner of Place d'Armes, is one of the
handsomest buildings on this continent. Has a frontage on Notre
Dame street of sixty-three feet, and on Place d'Armes forty-five
feet. The ground story is occupied as retail stores, the second
and third as offices, and the fourth contains the Lodge, Committee
and Lecture rooms of the craft, which are fitted up in a st^ le not
to be surpassed in Canada.
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. This building, on the west side of Place

' Frhnch Cathbdral, (R. C. parish church,) whose twin Gothic
towers seen from afar off, bear no inconsiderable resemblance to
that " Notre Dame " on the banks of the Seine. 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.
This tower is open to the public for a small fee ; from the top a
splendid view of the River St. Lawrence, the island of Montreal,
St. Helen's island, Victoria Bridge and the surrounding country, is
presented.

doorway leads to the main hall, which communicates with the
school-room and with the body of the church, by steps ascending

' 'Wesley AN Church at the corner of St. Charles Borrom^e street
is a handsome edifice in the English Gothic style, with a tower
and spire rising from the front to the height of 120 feet. The roof
is covered with different colored slates. The interior has an
arched roof, grained oak. There are no galleries except at the
end. The pews are curved, which adds much to their beauty, and
is a great convenience, since by it the congregation in every part
face the preacher. Behind the pulpit there is an organ gallery, in
a recess, with a neat pointed arch and columns in front, and under-
neath this gallery is the vestry. The Church has three entrances
in front and one in the rear, and a lofty basement extends under
the whole edifice, forming school, class, and lecture rooms, vestry,
McGiLL College is beautifully situated at the base of the
mountain, and immediately in front of the Reservoir. This
establishment owes its origin to the liberality of the late Hon.
James McGill, who bequeathed the estate of Burnside and £10,000
for its endowment. Besides lecture, class, and other rooms, it
contains residences for its professors. A new wing has lately been
erected by William Molson, Esq., to be called the " Molson Wing."
Its different schools — medicine, law, arts, S^c. — bear a very high
reputation.

ST. ANTOINE STREET
Passes west from Craig street into the suburbs, and the farther
it goes the more is taste displayed in the buildings, it being
inhabited by many of the wealthier classes. At the west end it
comes very close to a precipitous rock which rises up between it
and Dorchester street. There are gardens laid out with terraced
walks here and there. The sidewalks are shaded by rows of trees
which give a cool and refreshing shelter from the heat of the sun's
rays.
Richmond Square. At the upper end of this street, and close
to the stopping place of the city cars, is a very neat square, occu-
pying a large space at both sides of the street. The grounds are
very nicely laid out, with a fountain in the centre of each square.

designs, as to window openings and utlier details. The general
outline of the building is that of an H, and consists of two main

ST. CATHERINE STREET.
St. James' School, a large stone building on the corner of this
and St. Denis, 120 feet long, and 35 feet deep, three stories high,
with a pitched roof. It is under the control of the clergy of St.
James' Church, and has accommodation for about 600 boys.
Salle d'Azile, A Roman Catholic school for the education of
the blind.
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.
Exhibition Building, a large unsightly building, sometimes
used as a concert hall, for which it is in no wise adapted.
Erskine Church, on the corner of Peel street, is 134 feet by 82 over
projections, 90 feet high from ground to apex of roof, 50 feet clear
height inside. Tower 22 feet square, 120 high. Total height of
tower and spire 185 feet. The style of the church is of the second
or so called geometrical period of English Gothic. The walls are
built of strong, rubble masonry, faced externally with narrow
courses of dark blue limestone, with hammer dressed rough surface.
A spacious lobby extends across the whole front, with doorways
leading to church and galleries. The pews are curved radiating

from the pulpit, which Is in an arched and groined recess at the
end, with stained glass windows, platform, &c. The basement is
14 feet high, and extends the whole size of the building, forming
school-room, vestries, &c. C. P. Thomas, architect.
Protestant Orphan Asylum is a neat stone building, and one
of the most useful as well as the best conducted institutions in the
city, and is sustained by the benevolence of private individuals.
Church op St. James the Apostle, (C o/ i^.), is the Protest-
ant church furthest west in the city. Its appearance outside is
very fine, being built of Montreal stone, in a simple and chaste
Gothic style of architecture. The length is 1 15, the width 45 feet,
and the height from floor to apex of roof 60 feet. 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. In the lower story of
the tower there are three handsome stained glass windows. In
the third or upper story will be placed a clock and a peal of
bells. The spire is constructed of wood and galvanized iron, and
finished with a handsome vane. The total height from the ground
to the top of the vane is 130 feet.

finish a perfect gem of architectural beauty. ■> r'io ' ' i

ViGEu Square Garden is th? finest and most extensive in tlie
city, neither pains nor expense having been spared to render it an
attractive spot. Four basins with fountains have been con-
structed ; as also has a very handsome, though sinall, hot-house.
A very desirable improvement, in the way of a drhiking fountain
has been added to the many other progressive features of this
garden. The band of one of the regiments in garrison phiys liere

summer months.
Trinity Church (C. of E.) This magnificent edifice is in the
early English style of Gothic architecture and built of Montreal
stone, the body of the work being natural face coarsed ashlar.
The weatherings, quoins, &c., are finely dressed; the roof is
covered with slate ; the spire is wood, covered with galvanized
iron, and together with the tower rises to the height of 200 feet.
The lower part of the tower forms the principal entrance porch,
and there are in addition two side entrances, giving access as
well to the galleries and basement. The length of the church
inside is 114 feet, the width 65 feet. The chancel, which is in the
form of an apex, is 36 feet by 23 inside. The nave is 40 feet wide,
and has a grained ceiling rising to a he-glit of 52 feet. The side
aisles, in which there are galleries, are 12 feet 6 inclies wide, and
have pannelled plaster ceilings, Avith the roof timbers exposed.
The body of the church is lighted by 12 windows, each terminating
in traced heads, and clerestory windows formed in the roof. Tlie
church is to afford accommodation for over 4000 persons. Under
the church is a capacious basement, 14 feet high, well lighted and
having 3 distinct entrances. It contains a lecture room 100 feet
long by 65 feet wide, library, vestry, and all the necessary accom-

in every detail. The buildings are heated by steam and furnished
with every convenience which skill has devised. When we say
that it is from this house the celebrated Canada Directory of 1857,

praise the energy or public spiritedness of the proprietor, who is

BoNSECouRS Market. A magnificent pile of stone, in the
Grecian-Doric style of architecture : has a front of theee stories
on Commissioners street, cost about $300,000, and is equal to any
building of the kind in America. It consists of a large butchers'
market, extending almost the whole length of the buildingj over
which is a firj Concert Hall, the Council room, and the various
offices of the Corporation, including that of the Fire-alarm Tele-
graph, the wires of wliich may be seen converging, to a circular
frame Oi\ the roof, from all parts af the town. Beneath the butch-
ers' market is a large basement devoted to pork, cheese, vegetables
and fish, for the latter of which a separate portion has been allotted
and fitted up in the best style with nuir)>le slabs, fountains, drains,
and thorough ventilation. Bonsecours presents a lively scene on
market days, when the farmers congregate ; the stranger is amused
by the quaintness of their costumes, and the abundance of gestures
they exhibit, as they press their wares upon the customers.
Victoria Barracks, or Nuns' Buildings. A magnificent block

Merchants Exchange. This fine building, the " Rialto" of

comprises an open court used as an entrance to the Corn Exchange
and other offices. The building contains a reading-room, and
offices of the Board of Trade, and many other public and private
offices of a commercial nature.
Corn Exchange is a small, neat brick and stone building.
This building is on rather a diminutive scale for the leading com-
mercial city of the province.

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. These reservoirs are cx-
eavat
90,00
feet.

90,000 square feet, 200 feet above the harbour, with a depth of 25
feet. The knigth id 623 feet, with a breadth of 173 feet, formed
into two reservoirs by a division wall. The two contain about
fifteen million gallons. Total cost of aqueduct, machinery,
puniping-main, and reservoirs, about $1,800,000.
Fire Alarm Telkorapii was recently erected, and proved a
thorough success. The chief office is in the City Hall, from
which it has connection with upwards of G4 boxes, the church
bells, several public clocks, the Observatory and Water Workti
near McGill College.
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 butts were
so placed that all the firing was towards the river. They are now-
closed .

The Emigrants' Burial Ground is a large square enclosure at
Point St. Charles, in view of the Bridge. It is planted with trees,
having a large boulder in its centre, placed on a cut stone base,
and bearing an appropriate inscription to the memory of the emi-
grants that perished of ship fever in 1847. '
Grand Trunk Railway. The chief offices and stations of this
Corporation are situated at Point St. Charles, and are very exten-
sive, consisting of Machine Shops, Engine Rooms, Passenger,
Freight and Car Sheds, with all the other accessories of a com-
plete Railway Station. A fine view may be had from the small
bridge which leads from the Passenger Shed to the Chief Offices.
The Mountain, the Victoria Bridge, the River, Ac.j are all seen to
great advantage from this position.

DRIVES, ETC, IN AND AROUND THE'
CITY-
Round THE Mountain. This is consideriMl the favouriUMlrivo.
The distance round is nearly nine miles. The general route is up
the Main Street of the St. Lawrence Suhurl), past the toll gate, turn
off to the left, and ascend gradually the Mountain side; arriving
at a branch road which leads to the Mount Royal Cemetry, we
take the road to the right and continue our course till we arrive
at Cote <les Neiges, which j)retly little village lies lu'stled in the
bosom of the mountain, and sheltered by its branching arms from
North and East; leaving the village we drive on up the grade
and gradually reach the summit, at which a toll gate is placed.
Here we arc quite shut in on all sides, but as our vehicle turns the
curve, we cannot restrain ourselves from indulging in uuiny excla-
mations of admiration ; there, almost at our feet lies the city, with
its spires, its houses, its streets. There also is Canada's pride, the
Victoria bridge, the Nuns' Island in its glorious verdancy, the
glittering river, with many gallant vessels, which, after battling
the breeze, now lie (piietly at the wharf, either loading or discharg-
ing their cargoes. There also is St. Helen's Island, and behind it
the spires of the church in Longueuil village. The base of the
mountain, almost all around, is adorned with many elegant villas,
the palatial summer residences of our merchant princes. The
choicest orchards of Lower (!anada are also situated arouiid it,
the fruit being of the most delicious flavour and greatest luxuriance
of yield. Taken as a whole, this is one of the most pleasant drives
in Canada.
Mount Roval Cembthry is one of those places of interest which

•about two miles from the city on the mountain road. 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.

We leave Cote St. Paul and pass through the small villages of
the Tanneries, Blue Bonnets, &c., and arrive at Lachine, a village

Company throughout their vast territory. 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;

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. , . -."'^
