Tempe is the chosen site of the village. The S.
portion, just at the base of the E. and W. moun-
tains, is that upon which stand the various edi-
fices for the accommodation of visitors. These
buildings are spacious and conveniently ar-
ranged ; the servants are prompt and obedient;
and the table d'hote is abundantly supplied
with every thing that can tempt the appetite.
The promenades are beautifully embellished,
and shaded from the midday sun by large sugar
maples, the natives of the forest.''

The springs are situated in the S. W. part of
the valley, and the water is collected into two
white marble fountains, over which is thrown a
beautiful octagon-shaped pavilion.

Regular stages, or post coaches, arrive here dai-
ly, both from the N. and S. For further particu-
lars of the general route, see White Sulphur Springs.

N. W. of 'Morgantown, and about 15 miles from
Black Mountain, which we have mentioned in its
place. The height of this mountain is 6038 feet.
It is ascended with less difficulty than Black
Mountain, and, though less elevated by more
than 500 feet, is considered more beautiful as a
height to be visited. Near its S. W. extremity
there is a body of rocks resembling in appear-
ance the ruins of an ancient castle.

ROCKAWAY BEACH, LONG ISLAND, N. Y.

This fashionable watering-place is on the At-
lantic shore of Long Island, about 20 miles from
New York. The principal hotel is the Marine
Pavilion, which is a splendid establishment, erect-
ed in 1834, upon the beach, only a short distance
from the ocean. There is also another hotel,
which is well kept, and several boarding-houses,
where the visitor or the invalid may enjoy the
invigorating ocean breezes with less of cost and
display than at the hotels. The most convenient
route to Rockaway is by the Long Island Rail-
road to Jamaica, 12 miles from New York, and
thence 8 miles by stage to the beach.

SAGUENAY RIYER, CANADA.

Within a few years, the trip by steamboat from
Quebec to this remarkable river, occupying from
three to four days, has become a very fashionable
excursion. We shall include in this article,
therefore, some notices of the most interesting
places which may deserve the attention of the
tourist upon such a trip.

Starting from Quebec, and descending the St.
Lawrence, the Falls of Montmorenci are seen to
great advantage, about 7 miles below, precipi-
tating their snow-white cataract over the lofty
bank into the river. For a particular description
of these falls, the reader is referred to the article
upon that interesting natural curiosity, on page
272. The Island of Orleans is next passed, on
the left; the principal ship channel of the river
being that upon the N. W. side of the island.
This is a fertile tract embraced within two encir-
cling arms of the St. Lawrence, 21 miles long by
6 or 7 miles wide, and in part covered with forest.
It rises from 50 to 100 feet above the water. St.
Patrick's Hole,. 11 miles below Quebec, on the
Orleans shore, is a fine anchorage for vessels of
the largest size. Here, about 25 years ago, an
immense ship was built, of 3700 tons register,
with a view of taking her to England, and saving
the duty on the timber of which she was com-
posed. She crossed the Atlantic; but as the
object was defeated, she returned again to this
country. In the attempt to make a second
voyage, she was wrecked. Fourteen miles below
Quebec, on the other side of this island, is the
Parish of St. Laurent. The S. E. shore of the
St. Lawrence, for many miles below Point Levi,
presents a succession of villages and hamlets, con-
sisting each of a cluster of houses after the French
Canadian style, one story high, with both roof and
sides painted white, and with a church standing
in the midst. After passing Madam Island, 26
miles from Quebec, the river widens to 10 miles,
and continues generally to increase in width to its
mouth. Cape Tourment, 30 miles below Quebec,
is a bold promontory rising to the height of 2000
feet, and seen at a great distance. Grasse Island,
opposite this promontory, is the Quarantine Sta-
tion for vessels inward bound, and has a hospital,
a Roman Catholic 'chapel, and other buildings
suited to the design of the establishment. Goose
Island, 45 miles from Quebec, is owned by the
nuns, and is cultivated as a farm by tenants.
About 70 miles below Quebec is the Isle aux
Coudres, (Isle of Filberts,) said to have been so
named by Jacques Cartier, on his first voyage of
