rack-gate and main-guard. This was formerly the garden belonging to the College. A little beyond the gate is the barrack office, a neat and substantial stone building standing nearly opposite to the Scottish Church. The JESUITS Barracks are at present occupied as the quarters of that highly distinguished Regiment, the 79th, or CAMERON HIGHLANDERS. This is one of the few which wear the "garb of old Gaul ;” and makes a picturesque and highly military appearance in the field, very attractive to the numerous strangers who conclude their summer tour by a visit to the interesting capital of LowER CANADA. The 79th Regiment is under the command of Lieutenant Colonel DUNCAN MACDOUgall.

In the Place d'Armes, opposite to the Court House, is the COMMISSARIAT Office, where the business of that efficient department is conducted. Their extensive stores are in the Lower Town, upon the KING'S Wharf; and are solely appropriated to the purposes of government. They are of stone, two hundred and fifty feet in length, with corresponding depth, and were erected in 1821. Opposite to the gate and entrance into the KING's Wharf, is a guard house for its protection.

In St. Lewis Street, about half way between the Commissariat Office and St. Lewis-Gate, is a stone building on the left, occupied as quarters for those officers of the garrison, who do not reside in the CITADEL. In rear is the spacious mess-room of the officers of the 79th Highlanders. On the east, and in rear of the officers' quarters, at the end of a court or avenue leading out of St. Lewis Street, is the MILITARY HOSPITAL, a building of great length, and completely provided with every necessary appointment. Close to it are the remains of an old military work, on

In the print of the ancient city, in La Potherie, Voyage de l'Amerique, this height appears to have been surmounted by a windmill, which was fortified, and was probably one of the outworks on that side. On it stands at present a convenient cottage and garden, the property of government, and usually appropriated to the residence of the commanding Engineer of the District.

Opposite to the officers' quarters in St. Lewis Street are the military offices; in a private house, rented by the Government for the purpose. Adjoining to St. Lewis-Gate, and fronting to the Esplanade is the ROYAL ENGINEER Office; and in the rear are the spacious yard and work shops of the Royal Sappers and Miners, a detachment of which corps is always stationed in QUEBEC. The officers of the Royal Engineers have charge of the Fortifications, and of all military works. The Government laboratory, on the right hand of the road leading to the Citadel, opposite to the Royal Engineer yard, stands on the site of an old powder magazine, close to which the remains of General MONTGOMERY were interred on the fourth day of January, 1776.

We have already mentioned the extensive stores within the CITADEL, as containing all the matériel of war for a numerous garrison. In addition to these, and to the stores at the Artillery Barracks, the Ordnance Department has a spacious building of stone, together with a powder magazine, in the bastion between St. John's-Gate and the Artillery Barracks. In various parts of the works, they have also large depôts and magazines of cannon, gun powder, carriages, shot, and other munitions of war, for the convenience and supply of the garrison.
