Quebec, one hundred and eighty miles bslow Montreal, has an attraction to all tourists. Ac- cordingly, on the evening of the 11th, we em- barked at 7 o'clock on the steamer Montreal, belonging to the Richeliea company, con. structed on the modei and after the fashion of the best North river and Long Island sound boats, and proceeded on our way down the St. Lawrence to that point. There was quite a number of persons on board, and among them we recognized the faces of many whom we mo on the voyage down from the Thousand Islands. ‘Two other steamers left the wharf at the same time, both of which seem«d to Lave a fall com. lement of passengers. Tho boat leaving at s fate an boas, we hed wel about ous bearer day light to view the scenery. The river between Montreal and Quebec is said to be less interest ing to the tourist than in any other part of its course, although the settlements are pretty continuous, and the towns and villages numer ous, exhibiting both wealth and prosperity. Tae steamer stopped at ® number of places daring the night to put off passengers and freight ‘We rose carly in the moruing, 80 as to obssrve as much of the scenery as we could on proaching the city of Quebec. For the last 29 miles the banks on both sides are high and rugged. As the steamer nears Quebec the forti fications and walls occupying the highest point attract special attention. The harbor was the next point of absorbing interest, as well it might be, for its forest of masts extending for miles along the quays, the white sails an- der the shadow of the precipitous shores, and the frowning fortress on Caps Diamond, situ- ated 345 feet above the mean tide, and on which the largest navies in the world might ride. The tiver narrows very much for some distance above the , to Point Levy, opposite the forti fications, which is its narrowest place. Among the many ships in port was a French yesael ot war, the ‘‘Magicieve,” and her tender, tue first armed vessel from France that had visited the harbor since the surrender of that city to the English arms in 1759. Landing at the wharf we took an omnibus for the St. Louis hotel, situated on a street of the fame name in the upyer part of the city, or within the walls. We were driven up a narrow, winding, steep street, where the ascont was so it as to tax the horses’ strength to their utmost. In the cpper town tho streets are sbort, invariably crookéd, and the dwelling- — and stores plain and without ornamenta ion. Arriving at our hotel, the principal one withis the walls, we were struck by the plain exterior of the building, and stil! more so by the narror and inconvenient doorway by which the hote ie entered. The Louse is large, however, anc measurably well kept, and the waiters attontive and polite. The house is leased and kept by © New Engiand man; thé clerk, however, ir French, and the help nearly all trish. Persons of the latter nationality ure proportionally more numerous in Quebec than in any other part of Caneda. After partaking of a substantia! breakfast, the day being clear and pleasant, we visited the fortifications, going first to the cita del, and finally walking about the whole en. closure, the ramparts and the towers. ‘This fortrese is often called the “GIBRALTAR OF AMERICA,” bat it no longer presents the neatness and busy, bustling activity of former days, when it was garrisoned by three thousand English sol spac ica.

The same mon umental shaft serves to commemorate the victor and the vanquished. This tall and gracefu shaft stands in the Governor’s garden, overlok: ing the harbor.

These cities were founded, however, by different nations—the one by France, the other by Spain. The upper or old avd a city of Quebec is surrounded - a wall of nearly three miles in length, which originally had five gates, three of which have been recently removed, while one of those re. maining, St. John’s gate, was in 1567 much en- larged.

About 9 o'clock the steamer rounded off and headed down the river. Seals could be seen ming about, apparently quite indifferent to the poise or a; ‘h of tife boat. This river is described in all guide books as having con- tinuous and exceedingly precipitous rocky banks.

The culminating point of interest in the jaguenay trip is reached at Cape Trinity, so called from the three promment peaks over hanging the entrance to Eternity bay. They are eighteen hundred feet im height, while the water is said to be as deep. which rises to about an equal hei, ds at the other entrance to this bay. Here the boat, slacking her speed, sails around the bay, in order to enable the passengers to contemplate the grandeur of the scenery at jeisure. The whistle is blown from time to time to arouse the eche, which reverberates from hill to hill of the adjacent country, repeating the sound severa times.
