tup, we take pleasure in recommending it
to those who would obtain pleasure, health,
and a deal Of sightseeing in one trip at
through very interesting country, with all
the pleasures of sea trip, of nearly two
thousand miles.
The ride down the st. Lawrence river,
from Montreal TO Quebec, which has been
50 often described, has never been exagger-
atcd, especially if it be on a bright moon
light evening that you leave Montreal-for
this is in itself delightful ride, to say moth
ing of that part Of our trip beyond Quebec /;
for, in our opinion, the shores Of New Bruins
wick, along the Gulf, cannot be excelled in
their beautiful and varied scenery, and natu-
raj curiosities.
There are two lines OF steamers between
Montreal aud Quebec. The only difference
we perceived between the boats Of the rival
fines was that one carried band, while the
other could run trihe swfter; aud while
going down the river they would indulge in a
little harmless racing, which was rather ag-
gravating to the passengers on the slower
boat. In our opinion, the band was decidedly
poor; possibly we might have thought dif-
ferently, had 1t been on our boat. We ar
rived at Quebec at about six o'clock, A. NJ,
after stopping at two little Canadian towns
on our way. We found Quebec to be a very
old and interesting city, it being built so dif-
ferently from any place we had seen in the
states" OF the hotels the st. Louis is CON
sidercd as furnishing the most stylish ac-
commodations, and charging for the same =
very stylish price. The Albion is, however,
highly recommended by those who have been
entertained there.
The principal places Of interest are the
citadel the French and English Cathedrals
Seminary Chapel, in which are some beauti-
ful paintings by Champagne, D'IIullin and
others the Church Of Notre Dame built in
the year 1855 and the Plains of Abraham,
ON which is erected monument, marking
the spot where Wolf fell. These plains com
mand a fine view Of the river and country
opposite, and are on thetop OF a bluff, about
three hundred feet above the river. We con
cluded, after ascending TO the top, by stair
