0UEBEC, may L..
The ice is still firm in the st. Lawrence and
several May-Poles We're planted this morning
on the different parts of the river-Many peo-
pie led by curiosity and the novelty of the
scene, have been passing and re-passing be-
tween the lower town and the opposite shore
since the dawn ofday. There was seen at the
same time on the ice amidst concourse pc
destrians cart, Stay, carroe and chalc-
che. That the st. Lawrence should remain
frozen over on the first of May ut Quebec, for
many miles above, and for some miles below
il, is certainly circumstance of very uncom-
mon occurrence, and prominent feature of
the great severity of the last winter. The same
thing happened, we are told, about 40 years
ago.
A May-Pole was then fixed upon the ice,
which broke up the same day. How long the
present bridge will last we know not. 1t is
subject on which many bets have been already
lost and won, and on which many are still de-
pending. Some have insured its continuance
TO tue 10th of the present month; we trust,
however, that the present Spring tides will o.
pen the navigation.
Much snow still remains in this vicinity, in
the open fields as well as in the woods.
