BYTOWN,
THE COUNTY TOWN of the County of Carleton, is situated on the River Ottawa, in the Township of
Nepean, C. W. The Town is divided into two parts, known as the Upper and Lower Town. It is
connected with the village of Hull, C. E., by a handsome Suspension Bridge, and both that village and
New Edinburgh, which is about a mile south-east of Bytown, may be considered, in a commercial
point of view, as identical with the town. A railway to connect Bytown with Prescott is now in pro-
gress, and when completed (which will doubtless be at an early day) it cannot fail to be of immense
itdvantage to the fine country which it will intersect, as well as to Bytown and the extensive and fer-
tile country drained by the Ottawa and its tributaries. Bytown is distant from'Montreal, 120 miles—
usual steamboat and stage fare in summer, 20s.—usual stage fare in winter, 25s.—distant from King-
ston, via Rideau Canal, 142 miles—usual steamboat fare, 25s. Population about 8000.
