On leaving this Stat. the line crosses the Eau d’Heure, - in affluent of the Sambre. The country around, very picturesque, enlivened by manufactories, coal-mines and iron-works with rmous chimneys and furnaces that at night look like volcanoes. jon we catch sight of the ramparts of Charleroy, on 1., planted rith tapering poplars, and, after crossing a bridge over the fosse, sve enter 4 kil.

Owing to jié 8 situation in the centre of a large coal-district, it has become a y important industrial town: at the commencement of the TVVII cent. it was but a small village called Charnoy : it obtained q iS present name from a fortress built here in 1666 by the Mar- lais of Castel Rodrigo, Governor of the Low Countries, who named. Charleroy after his sovereign, Charles 1 of Spain. The next ‘sear, the works were blown up by the Spaniards before abandoning ne town to the French; Louis XIV restored them in 1676; Jo- eal qoph II had them leve jled ; they were again restored by the ‘Aus- ,ipflams in 1794, razed by the French in 4 795, and once more restored 4816 on a new plan under the direction ‘of the Duke of Welling- mn. The principal buildings in the town are the Church of 1%. Louis, with a peristyle supported by 4 Doric columns, erected ty order of Louis XIV, and the Prison, a mixture of Roman- goysque and bad modern Gothic. I The canal from here to Brussels was constructed by the French, -()$1820-7, under the direction of the engineer Vifquin.
