Fow buildings on this continent possess greater charma for the antiqnary and tie historian than the Parhamont House at Quebso, which, as we learn by telegraph, was den royed yesterday morning by fire, It was aitusted on the first clearance mads by Champlain: in 1608, and some of the stones of tho foundation were ared to construct the fort he built there asa protection against the Ia dians, Soon afterwarde, finding @ more appropriate site on @ more lofty portion of the heights of Quebec, the nilitary authorities sbaudoned it, an o site was taken by the chureh, and tha Rishop’a palace erected thereon. Ajortion of that palsos stood yester/ay morning. Jt was @ magnificent building for the place and the age Though unfinished, French travellers state that it com- pared favorably with Bishops’ paleors in Franos From private reasons, however, the earlier prolates made but little use of it: the celebrated Bichop ce Laval lived ta the seminary, and Bishop de Ssiot Valier took up his abode in the general horpital, When ths Iatendaat’s ps. Jace was burnt in 1718, Intendaat Begon transfered nis perates to the Biebop’s palace. At ths conqusat, the bailding and its cite were preserved to the Roman Catho Ne Church, and some ecolesinatis ocoupied it till, tr 1704, the first copstitution was graute? to the province of Lower Cauars The Bishop’s palace one then takeu as a hon of meeting for the Legisiat ve Courcil and Aste -ly, and ep annus! grant 0” $4,000 w.s palit to the Bishop for the ure thereof.

The Parlinmeot House, being tha eply public butiding in the oity that was not occupiva by troops, was appropriaie( to thames of the Governors ; it was from thenee that Lord Durham launsbed his thunder bolts, and im its halls that be wielded his brief deapotic sway. From 1838, when the constitution was suspended and the Parliament of Lower Canade aboiished, to 1853. when the Parliament of the united Province of Canacs was convened at Quebec, the Parliament House enjoyed fourteen yosrs of ignoble repose. It was the refage of elty c.upoiilors, municips! officers. and s variety of sumi- pubhe semi-private institutions, for wiiob 1. served the purpore of a tort of founclicg hospital.
