TO THE PUBLIC IN THE Compilation of "New Yobk as It Was and as It Is," for 1876, the Author wishes to ackno'vrledge the many favors conferred and the ready information given to malte tliis volume reliable and complete. Great care and labor has been bestowed in order to render it useful, so as to serve the wants of the public during the coming Centennial Celebration of our National In- dependence. Encouraged by the steady patronage bestowed during the past forty years, on similar publications, the Compiler feels warranted in speaking of his own labors : In 1833 a similar Work to the above was issued, entitled " JVew York as It Is," and continued yearly until 1837; then followed the " Picturesque Beauties cf the Hudson River," 1835-36,—" Tliirty-tTi/ree Miles Around New York," 1839,— "New York State Gazetteer," 18^,— " New York State ZJ^ister," 1843 to 1858, annually, — "IHcturesgue Tourist," 1844 to 1848, — " Baihoay and Steamship Ouide," 1846 to I860,—" United States Register , or Blue Book," 1851 to 1875,— ■" Trip Through the Lakes and River St. lawrence," 1857 to 1872, — "Influence of Climate in North and South America," 1867, — " Across the Continent and Around the World," 1871 to 1873, — •'Sailing on the Great Lakes and Rivers of America," 1874, — " Guide to tlie Island of Mackinac and Its Vicinity," 1875; Also, several other valuable publications, comprising, altogether, upwards of eighty volumes of dif- ferent sizes, issued by the Compiler during the last forty-two years. The preparation of the present volume, with its maps and embellishments, has been one of the most laborious and costly of the series of Statistical and Geographical Works issued during the above period, while an earnest attempt has been made to make this publication in every respect full and reliable at regards a faithful Description of the Oi^ of New York, with all its varied institutions, including the City of Brooklyn and other Cities and Villages in iti immediate vicinity.

LITBOr HITTPER * HLACTt.W WILLMJH AT .f T INTRODUOTION. NEfT York, the Great Metropolis of the Kation, and most favored City in America, owes its commercial prosperity and great wealth mainly to its natural position, as regards land and water— the Island being surrounded by tide-waters and navigable rivers, with a capacious and well-protected harbor contiguous to the Atlantic Ocean. This, in connection with its healthy climate and fruitful soil, by which it is surrounded — while lying near the middle of the Temperate 2one — altogether make its position unrivaled either in the Old or New World. Then comes its system of internal communication by means of the Hudson Biver, the Bast River and Long Island Sound, together with Canals and Bail- roads leading west to the Great Lakes, and to almost every other point of the compass — reaching Southward to the Gulf of Mexico, and Northward to near the Gulf of St Lawrence — the Railroads, by numerous lines, crossing the Highlands .and mountain barriers and the fertile Valley of the Mississippi, penetrating to the base of the Rocky Mountains, then extending still further westward by one main line to the Pacific Ocean — all pouring an immense amount of wealth into this favored mart. Ocean Steamers of the largest class are enabled to enter the harbor and ap- proach the wharves at all seasons of the year, carrying annually an immense amount of merchantable products from every quarter of the globe, as well as a great number of emigrants, and cabin passengers, to and from Europe and other parts of the world — altogether making the Port of New York the largest and most favored commercial mart on the face of the globe. The completion of the Erie Canal in 1836, the commencement of Railroads in 1831, the introduction of Croton Water and the creation of the Central Park, have all greatly benefited the city. Now, the demand is for a system of Rapid Transit to accommodate the wants of the growing population of New York and its suburbs. The above vast advantages afforded by Nature and Art should be justly ap. predated by the citizens at large, tending to make them the most prosperous people on the face of the globe, now numbering upwards of a million souls within the city bounds, and another million within a radius of fifteen miles — making upwards of two million inhabitants — ^forming, as it were, one commu- nity, and possessing untold wealth with most of the comforts of life combined. The above constitute the glokt of the Empire City and its Environs. Notwithstanding the above favorable condition and advantages of the City of Hew York, produced by natural causes, we unfortunately here see gilded wealth Tl INTEODTTCTION. and luxury on the one hand, and squalid poverty and distress in contiguity : whiler ■ intemperance and crime are on the increase. Next in importance to the above evils is the enormous City Debt ($130,000,000), excessive taxation, now amount- ing to $30,000,000 annually, and the robberies committed by dishonest politi- cians, who, in a measure, rule the city, causing many to doubt the possibility of large cities being well governed by republican institutions where universal suffrage prevails. The above unmitigated evils, or crimes, flowing from ignorance and a too- eager desire to accumulate wealth, marring our republican form of government, cause DiBQKACE to rest on this otherwise favored Metropolis, where all nation- alities alike congregate and «njoy the privileges of free institutions. The unfortunate reverse which the City of New York and the. country at large has recently experienced, owing in part to the above demoralizing causes, and the depreciation of our Natumal Ourrency ; together with reckless extrava- gance, ought to teach us a lesson of moderation, and cause us, as a people, to. correct and avoid a repetition of such great evils. Too long has the dishonest politician, the unfeeling usurer, and the greedy speculator had the ascendency. Let the favored, the middle and the intelligentlaboring classes of society combine for self-defense — return to industrious and frugal habits, and learn wisdom from sad experience. J.

Growth of the City of New York. In 1790, when the first Official Census was taken, and the City contained 33,131 inhabitants, the'northem limits of Improvements on the West side was Reade street, and on the East side, parallel with the Bowery, was Grand street Then a large fresh-water pond covered a portion of Centre street leading toward Canal street. * In 1830 the City had extended to Canal street, on the West side, and to Eighth street on the East side, extending a part way towards the East River. Alter 1830 the rapid growth of the City commenced, and now (1875) dense rows of houses extend to Central Park on the West, and to Harlem River on the East side of the city.

The first church erected on Manhattan Island was in 1628, on the arrival of the first minister, Michaelius. Soon after arrived Everardas Bogardus, the "Dominie," in 1633. The second church was erected in 1643, within the walls of Port Amsterdam, which stood on what is now called the Battery. This church was 72 feet long, SO wide and 16 feet high ; cost 2,500 guilders. The congregation worshiped in it until the opening of the old South Dutch Church in Garden Street. After the surrender of the colony to the English in 1664, it was occasionally occupied by the English military chaplains. This church was rebuilt in 1807, and de- stroyed by the great fire in December, 1835. The old church in the Fort, after the possession of the British, became the property of the government and took the name of King's Chapel, and continued to be used for worship by the chaplains of the garrison until 1741, when it was destroyed by fire. 26 NEW TOBK AB IT WAR The third church, erected in 1764, was the Middle Dutch Church in Nassau Street, recently used as a City Post Ofllce. The fourth church erected was the North Dutch Church in Fulton Street, corner William Street, now being de- molished and the site converted into store-houses. Thus all those old land' marks are fast disappearing, to be remembered only as matters of history. NBW YORK AFTER THB FEAOE OF 1783. The British army evacuated New York November 35th, 1783, and the Ameri- can troops under General Kaox. took possession of the city. Soon after General Washington and Gov. George Clinton, with their suite, made their public entry into the city on horseback, followed by the Lieut. -Governor and the members of council, for the temporary government of the Southern district, four abreast ; Gen. Knox and the officers of the army, eight abreast ; the Speaker of the As- sembly and citizens on foot, eight abreast. The Governor gave a public dinner, at wliich the commander-in-chief and other general officers were present. The arrangements of the whole business were so well made and executed that the most admirable tranquility succeeded through the day and night. On Monday following the Governor gave an elegant entertainment to the French ambassa- dor, the Chevalier de la Luzerne, General Washington, the principal officers of New York State and of the army, and upwards of a hundred gentlemen were present. Magnificent fireworks, infinitely exceeding everything of the kind be- fore seen in the United States, were exhibited at the Bowling Green in Broadway on the evening of Tuesday, in celebration of the definitive Treaty of Peace. In 1783 the compact part of the city extended to Chambers street on the north and to Catherine street on the east. Fort George stood on the north end of the Battery, and barracks for soldiers on the South end. The upper barracks were in the Park, on Chambers street. The prison, new prison, and house of correc- tion were in the Park, the latter where now stands the City Hall. The fresh- water pond on Centre street was in part surrounded by hills. The hospital buildmg stood near Broadway and Duane street. A line of fortifications ex- tended from the high grounds on the east part of the city to Bunker Hill, near Grand street, between the Bowery and Broadway, and westward across Broad- way to another eminence ; fortifications were also erected further west of Broad- way, near the river, on a line with Fourteenth street. All beyond was cleared fields. ZiANDMARES OF THE DATS OP THE REVOLUTION. The WoBhington House, No. 1 Broadway, opposite Bowling Green, is one of the best preserved buildings of Revolutionary days. It is now used as a public house, with a restaurant attached. Here, for a time, during the Revolutionary Washington's HEAD-QUAETteES — sugae-hoube peison. ,2T War, it was occupied by British officers, and afterwards by General Washington and his staff. It was built about the middle of the 18th century, and for many years occupied by families of distinction. Washington's Head-Quarters. This venerable building stands on the southeast corner of Broad and Feail Streets, formerly known as No.- 3 Dock Street It is in tolerably good preser- vation, and is now kept by William Stabner as a boarding-house, with a bar attached. The particulars of an interesting event is copied from an old engraving which still adorns its walls, with words as follows : Washington takino Lbavb of the Officers of His Abmt, At Francis's Tavern (Dock Street), New York, Dec. 4th, 1783. Present, Gen- erals Enox and Steuben, Gov. George Clinton, Alexander Hamilton and others. "With a heart of love and gratitude I now take leave of you; I most de- voutly wish that your latter days may be as prosperous and happy as your for- mer ones have been glorious and honorable." — Extraust from Wathington's Ad- dress. The Old Sugar-House in Iiiberty Street. This relic of the days of the Revolution stands as a monument to the victims of the Biigarr-House Prison, and the Old Dutch Ohurch, in Nassau street, recently used as a Post Office, was once used as a dungeon for the soldiers of the American Army. " It was known as the Middle Dutch Ohurch, and was built by the Knicker- bockers. Its pews were torn out and used as fuel, a floor was laid from one gallery to the other, thus dividing the building into two stories, and here three thousand prisoners were incarcerated. Poor men, here they were allowed neither fuel nor bedding, and their food was wretched and scanty. The weather was cold, and many died from cold and starvation. It is said even that their inhuman keepers poisoned many of them, in order to be rid of them and to possess themselves of their silver shoe and Icnee-bucldes and watches. This prison-house was bad enough, but worse still was Rhinelander's Sugar-Housej that stood in Liberty Street. It was a gray stone building five stories in height, very low between the ceilings, with very thick walls and small deep windows. This was, perhaps, the gloomiest of the improvised dungeons in the city. Bach story was divided into two compartments. The low ceilings and small windows made the ventilation very poor above-stairs, and the cellar, which was likewise used as a dungeon, was more miserable yet. The building was surrounded by a board fence nine feet high. Two British or Hessian soldiers paced on constant watch about it night and day. In this wretched place thousands of our soldiers were incarcerated. -They were huddled in so close that they could scarcely lie down. They were left for months without fire or blankets, or change of clothr ioK. Their food was sea-biscuit, mouldy and full of worms, and raw pork." 28 NEW TOBK AS IT WAS. St. Paul's Church or Ohapel, Standing on Broadway, between Fulton and Vesey streets, is another vener- able edifice, which escaped the Great Fire of 1776. It was built in 1766, and is surrounded by an ancient burying-ground.. The remains of Gen. Richabd Montgombrt, of Revolutionary fame, who was killed in the attack on Quebec, December 81, 1775, lie interred in St. Paul's Churchyard. He was a native of Ireland, born Dec. 2, 1736, being 39 years old at the time of his premature death. In 1818 the State of New York caused his remains to be removed from Quebec, where first interred, and placed be- neath the monument erected to his memory in the City of New York. Here also lie the remains of Thomas Addis Emmet, born at Cork, Ireland, a4th April, 1764 ; died in New York, 14th Nov. , 1827, aged 64 years. Hia tomb and monument are situated in the southeast part of the inclosure, at the corner of Broadway and Fulton Street. The Walton House. This ancient house is still standing — although in a dilapidated state — in Franklin Square, and is known as No. 326 Pearl street (formerly called Queen street). This building was erected in 1752 by Mr. William Walton, the des- cendent of a long line of ancestors, who were celebrated as " Merchant Princes." At the time of the Revolution, and for many years afterwards, it was the re- sort of the aristocratic citizens of New York. It is now a most interesting relic of olden times. An inscription, {Tlte Old Walton House,) coarsely painted in dingy white on its faded red walls, arrests the eye of the passing stranger. The First Official Journal Published in the United States. The paper was called The Gazette of the United Slates, and the' first number was published in the then village of New York, when Congress assembled here in April 1789. It contains the proceedings of the first Congress, and gives an account of General Washington's reception, saying that " he was wafted across the bay from New Jersey in a fiat barge by thirteen pilots dressed in white uniforms." There is also an account of the counting of the first electoral vote, of which Washington received only 69 out of a total of 138 votes, and a report of the inauguration exercises, which were postponed one day, because "it was an unfavorable season of the year for journeying. " The whole volume contains 404 pages, with very few advertisements.

The whole record, either ancient or modirn, of this famous mart of money and power would take volumes to describe. " Mr. Gerard alone can do justice to its story in the old Dutch past, when it was ' De Cuigel ' of te Stadt Waal, or "WALL STREET BEMINIBCENOES OF OLD NEW TOEK. 29 the walk at the city wall. But still, for the curiosity of the thing, we insert a list of the inhabitants of De Cuigel in 1665, names which the most diligent census taker will probably not be able to find in or out of ' the Street ' now-a-days. Here they are as somewhere gircn : Jan JansenVanLangendyck, JanTennitzen Molensaan, John Yidel, Abraham Kermer, Gridtje Schoonteenmergers, Jacob Jansen, Dirck de Wolspinder, Barent Ergbertzen, Dirck Van Clyff, Pieter Jan- sen. The latter name, however, has lived through the generations, and within memory of those of the present time." The principal event which (ettled the character of Wall Street as the center of interest in the city, and which brought about it the leading men of business and professional life, was the erection of the old City Hall, opposite Broad Street, in 1700, which building became afterward the Capitol of the United States, and the site of which is still used for public purposes, thus perpetuating the influence of the original selection of that site down to the present day. The City Hall remained in use for the objects for which it was erected about a cen- tury. After the Revolutionary "War this building received additional historic in- terest as the first place of meeting of the Congress of 1789, and the inauguration of George Washington as President The financial, or modern history of Wall Street, commenced soon after the Paace of 1783. The Bank of New York was the first banking institution estab- lished in this City, commencing operations in 1784, although not chartered until 1791, the banking-house being located on the comer of Wall and William streets. It was followed by the Manhattan Company, incorporated in 1799, located at No. 23 Wall street ; by the Merchants' Bank, incorporated in 1805, located at 25 Wall Street ; by the United States Bank, located at 38 Wall Street, about 1805 ; by the Mechanics' Bank, incorporated in 1810, located at 16 Wall Street. These were the pioneer banking institutions, which were soon after rapidly in- creased in number. Insurance companies were in existence in this city still earlier than banks. " We believe," says Valentine, " the first institution of the kind after the Revo-^ lutionary War was called the Mutual Assurance Company. We find that in 1815 there were already thirteen insurance companies established in Wall Street." KEMUaSOENOES OF NEW TOBK IN 1790. By the Oldest Lawyer Lrvrao. Hon. Elbert Herbino, now in his ninety-eighth year, is still living in the city of New York. He was born on the 8th of July, 1777, at Stratford, Conn.^ and removed to New York when seven years of age. He says, on being inter- viewed: "I can remember New York when it scarcely extended above Ann street. It was a very different place then." The embryo Metropolis of 1790 30 NEW TOKK AS IT WAS. ho described as follows : " Above Ann street it was all country, only here and there a house. The wealthy inhabitants lived mostly below Wall street; others in Garden street and Rector street. The old Bridewell and Jail stood where now the City Hall Park is. James Duane is the oldest Mayor I can re- member." The population at that tune was 33,131. " The only theatre was in John street. The richest man at that time was Mr. Desbrosses. He had that reputation." Mr. Herring was educated at Princeton College ; admitted to the bar in December, 1799 ; and elected a Judge of the Marine Court in 1805. ".In early times," he remarlsed, " there was more morality, no doubt. At that time we had scarcely any foreigners ; we were all Yankees or Knickerbockers here in New York, and we were a very honest people. There was very little cheat- ing. Everybody who could afford it used to dress in broadcloth, very few in homespun garments." He remembered distinctly the first steamboat that ever went to Albahy in 1807. This remarkable living man attributed his old age to his moderation in all things, to his careful avoidance of excess in anything, and finally to the " Divine blessing." In 1830, forty years after the above statement refers to, the built portion of the city exteaded to Canal street on the West side, and to about Fourth street on the East side, parallel to the Bowery, near where stood Vauxhall Garden. Fourth avenue was then being opened and a hill leveled which stood on the east side of Union Square. About this period a series of street views was published by George M. Bourne, drawn and engraved by James Smillio and others, showing the then appearance of streets and public buildings. DESCRIPTION OF NEW YORK IN 1800. Copied from a series of historical articles relating to the City, being published in the New York Express in 1841 : " The fashionable part of the city," or West end of the town, " was in Wall and Pine streets, between Broadway and Pearl,— Pearl from Hanover square, (now part of Old slip) to John street, along State street and a part of Broadway, below Wall. Then the City Hall was not built, and on the site where it now stands was the rear of the Almshouse— the "hog-pen" of which inclosed the ground now the most beautiful part of the Park. The change is truly astonish- ing. In Wall street, for example, there now is but one family residmg in the whole street, and that is over a bank. Hardly an old building remains, and not one that is not so altered as to be totally different from what it was then. At the comer of Nassau street, stood the venerable Federal Hall, since torn down — a splendid row of dwellings was afterwards put up, which were subsequently torn down to give place to the new Custom House, now building.* Next below stood the elegant mansion of Mr. Verplanck, the brick of which were brought from Holland, and m its stead is the Bank of the State of New York. Next • United States Sub-Treasnry BiiUdinK. NEW YORK IN 1800 — BEOADWAT. 31 ■was the residence of John Keese, now the Union Bank, less changed than any other building. This, however, on the first of May, is to be leveled with the ground and a new banking house to be put up. Between it and William street were the residences , of Francis B. Winthrop and Charles Wilkes — in the place of which are the Dry Dock Bank and Bank of America. On the lot where the United States Bank now stands was the elegant mansion of Gen. John Lamb, first Collector of the Fort and father of Alderman Lamb. This was considered not only the finest house, but was believed to be the grandest house that could be built. On the opposite side, where is now going up the massive new Mer- chants' Exchange, stood the residences of Thomas Buchanan, Mrs. White, and William C- Leflingwell. Mr. Jauncey, an English gentleman who lived in great style, occupied the building now rented by Messrs. Dykers dsAlstyne — his stable is the same now used by the Board of Brokers. The very room in which mil- lions of stock arc sold every week was then a hay-loft. " The watch-house was kept at the corner of Broad street, now used by Rob- inson for the sale of his caricatures. Baker's tavern, one of the most noted public houses, was at the corner of New street — a club met there nightly for more than half a century. Pine street has undergone still greater changes ; from Water street to Broadway, every house has been demolished. Then not a store was to be seen. The old French church, the sanctuary of the Huguenots, stood at the corner of Nassau ; its surrounding burying-yard contained the ashes of many of the most valued citizens. The Walcotts, Jays, Waddingtons, Badclifcs, Brinkerhoffs, Wells, and a host of others, resided in this street, with- out a thought that in less than forty, and even thirty years, not one brick then standing would remain on another. In Pearl street were the fashionable resi- dences of Samuel Denton, John Ellis, John J. Glover, John Mowett, Robert Lenox, Thomas Cudle, John Glendenning, John B. Murray, Governor Broome, Andrew Ogden, Governor George Clinton, Richard Varick, and a great number of others. Nearly all of these gentlemen are deceased. In Hanover square stood a block of buildings fronting Old slip and Pearl street. They have been all removed. The citjr in 1800 consisted of seven wards, now (1841) increased to seventeen." Population, 60,489. BROADWAY. This celebrated and fashionable thoroughfare has for upwards of two hundred years' been the just pride of the City of New York. The ancient " Broad Way," as known to the early Dutch and English settlers, extending from the Bowling Green to the " Common," where now stands the City Hall. It was then, and for upwards of one hundred and fifty years, occupied as private dwellings, by the richest and most aristocratic residents. About one hundred years ago the street was opened through what was then known as the King's Farm, and the exten- sion beyond Chambers street was called Cheat Oeorge street, extending north to Broome street, then fields again intervened. The two early thoroughfares to the north part of the island was the road to Greenwich and the " Bowery Lane," or High Road to Boston. It was not until about 1835, forty years since, that the lower part of Broadway, below Wall street, was converted into stores. Then the business portion of the street extended to Canal street, above there were scat- 32 NEW TOBK AS IT WAS. teriog private residenpes to about Eighth street, with country residences be- yond. For thirty years past Broadway has been rapidly extending northward, and lined with palatial public edifices, and magnificent places of business, while from time to time the old dwellings of former years have been demolished, as proceeded the march of improvement. Broadway of to-day extends for a distance of about five miles from the Bat- tery on the south, to Central Park on the north. The prominent edifices are Trinity Church; the Equitable Life Insurance BuUding ; the New York Mutual Life Insurance Oo.'s Building ; the Western Union Telegraph Company's Build- ing; the JEoening Post hwldiag; the Park Bank Building; the Herald Building; St. Paul's Church, an old edifice; Astor House, New Post Office Building; standing on the south end of the City Hall Park ; the City Hall, and Court House Buildings, facing on Chambers street; Alex. T. Stewart's wholesale dry goods store ; the New York Life Insurance Building ; St. Nicholas Hotel; Metropoli- tan Hotel; Grand Central Hotel; New York Hotel; Alex. T. Stewart's retail store; Grace Church; the Methodist Publishing and Missionary Building; and the Domtstic Sewing Machine Company's Building, facing Union Square. Above Fourteenth street the grandeur of the street is maintained, being lined with modem built edlSces, among which are conspicuous: Tiffany & Com- pany's Building ; Arnold, Constable & Go's Building; Lord & Taylor's Building; Fifth Avenue Hotel, facing Madison Square ; Grand Hotel and many other fine edifices. The lower part of Broadway from Wall street to Union Square presents the most stirring part of the city, being during the day filled with pedestrians, om- nibusses, and vehicles of almost every description. Around and above Union Square is where the gay and fashionable congregate and promenade during pleasant weather. " Here you may see the gayest of the gay, Their costly costumes with pride display."

[Copied from the New York Evening Post.\ " There is one feature in the history of Trinity Church which is different from that of any other church in this city. It has been thrice built on the same spot, while other places of worship have been removed with the changes of popula- tion. St. Paul's is the only old church which retains its original site, while the old Dutch structures have disappeared one by one, the last being used as a Post Office and the other as a Mission, the society having moved up town. " The first Trinity was built in 1696, under the direction of Governor Fletcher, in order to afford means of worship to the English families. The latter had been arriving in large number since the close of the Dutch domination, and it was necessary to furnish them a religious home. The plot was granted by the Crown, on condition that burials should be afforded at one shilling and sixpence for each grave, and it became at once the graveyard of the English colonists. The first church fronted the west, and its tower overlooked the expanse of the Hudson, whose beach was what is now Greenwich street. The building resembled the Gothic order, and its appearance is preserved in an old drawing which showed that it bad some pretensions to merit of style. It stood eighty years, all of which were times of much trouble. First, Indian warfare, then difficulties with adjacent colonies, the negro plot, the French and Indian war, and lastly, the revolution, during^ which it was destroyed. It was the church of the Governor and royal dignitaries, and it is possible that Washington, when a guest of Beverly Robinson, in 1756, may have been one of its congregation. Twenty years later it witnessed the mustering of the Continental army, with Washington at the head, and also the return of the routed forces from the bloody field of Long Island. Then followed the hurried retreat of the American troops, which had scarcely been accomplished when the great fire in 1776 broke out. It was the largest fire which America had ever witnessed up to that time, and its course of destruction included the old church. During the war religion waa little thought of, and as St. Paul's was open, all who desired could attend service there. When Washington returned in triumph he saw the ruins of the church, and they still encumbered the ground at the time of his inauguration. With returning prosperity the rebuilding of the church was discussed by such men as Jay, Duane, etc., and in 1788 a new Trinity was built and re-dedicated.' This building is remembered by many of our old citizens. One of the most important of the incidents connected with its history is the funeral of General Hamilton, when Gouverneur Morris delivered the eulogy from a stage erected before the porch. " The second Trinity was not so well built as its predecessor, for before it had Btood half so long it was pronounced unsafe, and was demolished to prevent its fall. For five years the work of reconstruction was carried on, under the care of the distinguished architect, Richard Upjohn, who saw it completed in 1845. Mr. Upjohn has lived to superintend the construction of the new Trinity school-house, in the rear of the church, which is just finished. Trinity Church has for thirty years enjoyed pre-eminence in the ecclesiastical structures of the city, but the Roman Catholic Cathedral, when finished, will take precedence. Its spire is the chief landmark in a distant view of the city, and its cemetery is the spot of greatest historical interest in this neighborhood. Although burials there are forbidden by law, yet this prohibition does not reach the owners of vaults, and at least a half-dozen burials take place in this manner every year. 34 NEW TOEK AS IT WAS. Speaking of the burial-places suggests that the body of Daniel D. Tompkins rests beneath the shadow of St. Mark's Church, and that President Monroe was also buried in the same place. The body of the latter was claimed by the State of Virginia, in 1858, and was transported to Richmond under care of a guard of honor. This leaves Trinity Cemetery unequaled in this city as the resting- place of the illustrious dead.* " The uncertainties of the future are illustrated in a monument bearmg the following inscription : " In memory of Scrlba— 1796. " This name has long since disappeared from our city population, but Colonel Scriba was militia commander of some note, and had his regiment out at the reception of Washington when the latter came as the President elect. It is probable that the intention was to have the full name inserted after death, but this was neglected, and thus the monument is left perpetually defective. There are some very quaint epitaphs in Trinity burial-ground. How different, for in- stance, is the following stanza, dated 1747, from the Greenwood style : " "They Fled from Bciens of Mortal guilt Without Par Taking of the same Tbey left their bodies Sleeping here Till Christ do come the Second time.' " Another reads thus : ' Here Lyes Interred ye Body of Benjamin Thomas, Who Departed this lief Augt ye 1st 1744 as you ayer no So once Was I In helth and Strength thoe here I lye & as I am now so you must be Prepare for Death & follow me.' "Among other noticeable monuments is that one which commemorates William Bradford, the first printer that came to this city. This, however, is a copy, the original being in the rooms of the Historical Society. The epitaph is as follows: 'Here lies the Body of Mr. William Bradford, printer, who departed this life May 33, 1753. He was born in Leicestershire, in Old England, in 1660, and came over to America in 1080, before Philadelphia was laid out. He was printer to the government for upwards of fifty years, and being quite worn out with old age and labor, ho left this mortal state in the lively hope of a blessed immortality. " ' Beader reflect how soon you'll quit this stage ; Yon'll.flnd but few attain to such an age ; Life's full of pain. Lo I here'^ a Place of Hest, Prepare lo meet your God, then you are blest.' " When Benjamin Franklin came to this city in search of employment he ap- plied to Bradford for work, but was refused. There was at that time no chance for an additional printer, and Franklin therefore went to Philadelphia, making the journey on foot. Among other historical memorials is the vault of Colonel Marinus Willett, who distinguished himself during the Revolution. Also that of another Revolutionary character, which bears the following inscription : 'Vault built in 1738. James Alexander, and his descendants by his son, William Earl of Sterling, and his daughter.' *The tomb of Peter Stnyresant, marked by a brown stone slab, la to be seen in St. Mark's Churchyard, with the following Inscription: PBTBB STtTTTESANT, Late Captain-Oeneral and Oovemor-in-Cnlef, of Amsterdam, In New Netherlands^now called New York,) And the Dutch West India Islands. Sled in A. 0. 167>^— Aged 80 years. TEINITY CHUEOH. 35 ** The history of the last mentioned person is in some points very remarkable. He was the only officer in the Continental army (except those of foreign birth) who bore a title — a fact which may thus be explained. William Alexander was born in this city, but he inherited a claim to an earldom and visited Scotland to contest it. He was imsuccessful, having spent a large part of his fortune in this vain attempt. When the Revolution began he entered the American service, and as an act of courtesy was called Lord Sterling, after the lost earldom. He had a command at Long Island, where he was taken prisoner, but was exchanged and resumed service. He was a devoted admirer of Washington, to whom he disclosed that cabal which disgraced the name of Conway. Lord Sterling was one of the oldest of the American officers, being Washington's senior by eleven years. He died in Albany in 1783, aged flfty-seven, and his body was brought to this city and deposited in the ancestral vault. The body of Bobert Fulton, the origmator of the first successful steamboat, was placed in the Livingston vault. It is to be noted that Fulton's death was caused by rowing across the Hudson River, where fifty steam ferryboats now ply. In 1815 Fulton, who had been attending an important lawsuit in New Jersey, desired to recross the river. He could not wait for the slow ferryboat, and therefore undertook to row. The distance is a mile, and he became overheated, took cold and fell into a rapid decline, which closed his career. On the south side of the inclosure stands the memorial of the great federalist whose tragic death adds a special interest even to the chronicles of genius. The inscription is as follows : To the memory of Alexander Hamiltoh, The corporation of Trinity Church haa erected This Monument In testimony of their respect For The Patriot of incorruptible integrity The soldier of approved valor The statesman of consummate wisdom Whose talents and virtues will be admired By Grateful posterity Xjong after this marble snail have mouldered into Dust He died July 12, 1804, aged 47." " Hamilton's oldest son, Philip, had been buried in the plot a little more than ten years before his own death, both being victims of duelling. Mrs. Hamilton, after a half century of widowhood, was also buried here in 1854, having reached the unusual age of ninety-seven. The monument to Captain James Lawrence, of the Chesapeake, occupies a prominent position near the entrance. The cannon which surround the sarcophagus are trophies captured from the British during the war in which Lawrence fell. Lawrence was a native of Burlington, New Jersey. He died in his thirty-second year, and the rapid pro- motion which gave him command of a first-class ship shows the confidence reposed in his ability as well as the courage which he had displayed. Lieutenant Ludlow, who fell at the same time with his commander, was only twenty-one. The epitaphs on these fallen heroes are among the finest specimens in existence of this most difficult style of composition. On the reverse side is inscribed : " Julia Montauvert, widow of Captain James Lawrence, bom July 15, 1788. Died September 15, 1865." The Montauverts were an old New York family, and this unfortunate woman became a widow at twenty-five years of age, and remained in that condition until her death, a period of fifty-two years. 36 NKW TOBK AS IT WAS. In Trinity Churchyard, about forty feet southwesterly from tha south side of the church, is a plain brown stone slab, on which are inscribed the words: " The vault of Walter and Robert C. Livingston, sons of Robert Livingston, of the Manor of Livingston." Within that vault repose the remains of Robert FuLTOH. He was bom in 1765, in the town of Little Briton, in Pennsylvania, in the same neighborhood in which Benjamin West was born. He died in the City of New York, Feb. 24, 1815, aged 50 years. " Among other leading men whose names are recorded here is Albert Oallatin. His tomb is in the rear of the church, and bears an elaborate epitaph. Mr. Gallatin was a native of Switzerland, and few of our adopted citizens have exercised greater influence in American affairs. He was the only man of foreign birth who attained a seat in the Cabinet, having served as Secretary of the Treasury during three presidential terms. As a financier he was preeminent. Mr. Gallatin died in 1849, aged eighty-eight years. " The first rector of Trinity Church was the Rev. William Vesey, and the salary allowed him was £100 (f 500) a year, with a house. The sexton's fees were three shillings for ringing the bell at a funeral, six shillings for digging a grave and covering it, and three and sixpence for opening the church for marriages. Strangers were charged double. Vesey conducted the services for many years, and was succeeded by the Rev. Henry Barclay. Both of these names are attached to streets laid out through the original farm. After these came Auch- muty, Inglis, Provost, Moore, Hobart, Barrian and Dix, the latter being the pre- sent rector. After the Revolution the salary was fixed at £700, but at presentit is $12,000, with a costly and elegant rectory, 'fhe increase in the income of the church is now very rapid, m 1847 it was $58,000, but a late report of the Comptroller of the Corporation gives the amount as $500,000. The present stmcture was consecrated May 25, 1846, and its entire cost was $358,629. A curioys privilege of former days was that of burial in the chancel, which was obtained by the payment of a heavy fee. It cost £5 to bury the body of an adult in this sacred precinct ; children above ten years of age were charged half price, while all under ten were allowed admittance at five shillings. This was a relic of the old superstition concerning the sanctity of certain spots and the benefit conferred on the soul by such a disposal of the body." Trinity Parish now consists of seven churches, as follows : 1. Trinity Glmrch, Broadway, head of Wall street. 2. St. PauVa Chapel, (built in 1766,) Broadway, bet. Fulton and Vesey streets. 3. St. Johrii OTiapa, (built in 1807,) Varick-street. 4. Trinity Chapel, 25th street, near Broadway. 5. St. Ghryaoatom's Chapel, 7th avenue, cor. 39th Street. 6. St. AugustiTie'a Cliapel, 262 Bowery. 7. St. Cornelius' Chapel, Governor's Island, New York Harbor. Charities, &c. There are numerous Charitable Institutions attached to the Parish at large, and . not connected with any particular church therein. THE FIB8T STEAMBOAT ^MAYORS. 37 TEm FIRST STBAMBOATS ON THB HUDSON. The first steamboat built by Robert Fulton was the "Clermont," or "North Biver," 160 tons burden. This steamer was launched in the Spring of 1807, and finished in August following. In September the vessel made her first trip to and from Albany, 145 miles. She went to Albany in thirty-two hours and Teturned in thirty. " The inhabitants near the shores along the river were lost in wonder and regarded her m a phenomenon beyond their comprehension." The building of the steamer " Raritan," to be employed on the Raritan River, New Jersey, and the " Car of Neptune," of 295 tons, to be employed on the Hudson, followed. In 1811, the " Paragon, " of 331 tons, was built. In 1812, the "Fire Fly," of 118 tons, and the " Richmond," of 370 tons, to be also em- ployed on the Hudson. In 1813, the "Fulton," of 827 tons, to run on Long Island Sound. In 1818, the " Olive Branch," to be employed between New York and New Brunswick, N. J., and the " Chancellor Livingston," of 526 tons, to be employed on the Hudson. These vessels were all built in the Port of New York. The " Olive Branch " and " Chancellor Livingston " were built after Mr. J'ulton's death, which occurred in the City of New York February 24, 1815.

"T?ielfe\e York and Harlem Bailroad Company -was incorporated in 1881, 'witii a capital of $350,000, for the purpose of constructing a railroad from the central part of the City to Harlem. The road is completed from Prince Street to Yorkville, 6 miles ; a single track is laid on granite sleepers, in the best manner, from Prince Street to Union Place, where a double track commences, and which is laid on granite sleepers to Twenty-third, and on wood as far as Eighty-fourth Street, or Yorkville. The road was begun to be used as far as Murray Hill in June, 183-3 ; and up to Feb. , 1834, the total number of passengers carried was 89,094 For several months cars drawn by horses have been in operation from Prince Street to Yorkville, and they now run as often as once in each half -hour every day in the week. The fare for each passenger is 13^ cents," Stage Lines, 1834. Lines ef 8ta,ga, dMnng close of navigation, from December to March, ran daily from Cortlandt Street to Albany, on both sides of the Hudson River.' Steamboats and Stage Lines also ran to Philadelphia. Office, No, 1 Cortlandt Street. Stages run daily, carrying the United States Mail, to New Haven, Boston, Ac Stages started from Brooklyn Ferry, Fulton Street, every hour, for diflferent parts of Long Island; also, from foot Cortlandt Street, hourly, for different parts of New Jersey. CrrY Staqes and Omnibusses ran through Broadway and the Bowery to Four- teenth Street, and to the Dry Dock, East River ; also, to Yorkville, Harlem and Manhattan ville. "Supply of Water, 1834." " The city is destitute of a supply of good and wholesome water, and various plans have been prepared at different times, for obtaining an adequate quantity of an element so essential to the health, convenience and comfort of the citizens. The Bronx and Croton Rivers have been suggested as sources of supply ; also the Passaic at Paterson, New Jersey. The .quantity of water required for the sup- ply of the city, is estimated at over four millions of gallons per day, or 20 gal- lons for each person, including manufacturers, stables, &c." Manhattan Water Works, " In 1779, the Manhattan Company was incorporated, with a view to supply the City with pure and wholesome water. TJhe charter is perpetual, and the capital $2,050,000, the surplus funds being eniployed in banking. From this law 4^ HEW YOEK AS IT WAS. originated the Manhattan Bank. The Companj had, by the charter, the control over the streams and springs on New York Island, and the County of Westches- ter, for the above object. Their works were situated in Beads street, a short distance north of the City Hall. The water is raised by two steam engines, from a well in Cross street, elevated 15 feet above Broadway, from whence the water is distributed in iron and wooden pipes to the lower part of the City." Proposed Supply of Water from -the Oroton and Bronx Rivera, — ^1834. " Surveys of routes and estimates of the expense of bringing water to the City, from the Croton and Bronx Rivers, have been recently made by order of the corporation. An Act passed the Legislature of the State, May 2, 1834, ' to provide for supplying the City of New York with pure and wholesome water,' by which the Governor and Senate are authorized to appoint five citizens, to be called ' Water Commissioners,' who are to examine and consider all matters relating to the subject, cause surveys to be made, and adopt such plans as they may deem most advantageous. Said commissioners selected were, Stephen Allen, Benjamin M. Brown, Charles Busenbeny, Samuel Alley and William W. Fox. Jf ,a majority of the electors are found to be in favor of the measure to be reported by the conmiissioners, the Common Council are author- ized to raise by loan, $3,500,000. The united streams which can be brought to the City in an aqueduct, are estimated to aSord a daily supply of 33 millions of gallons. The total length of the aqueduct which is proposed to be constructed of mason work, will be about 47 miles, and the estimated expense (exclusive of pipes in the City), is from five to six millions of dollars."

In 1688, the Ci^ of New York was divided into six Wards, under the desig- nation of South, East, North, West, Dock, and Out Ward. The Montgomerie Charter, dated January 15, 1730, designates, in addition to the above, the boundaries of the " Montgomerie " Ward. By an Act of the Colonial Government, passed Feb. 38, 1791, the Wards are designated numerically from 1 to 7, and the bounds of each described. By an Act of the Legislature, passed March 8, 1803, the Wards were increased to nine, and boundaries described. The 10th Ward was erected from the 7th in March, 1808. The 11th and 13 Wards were formed, and the boundaries all described by an Act passed April 35, 1835. 13th Ward was erected from the 10th Ward, Act April 6, 1837. 14th* 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 31st 33d 6th and 8th < .< 9th ' Marcl 12th • " 11th 'Feb. 16th t (( 12th ' April 16th 'July 18th 'May 19th ' June hester County.

THE BRITISH OCCUPATION OP THE CITY OP NEW YORK— 1776 TO 1783. Copied from an Address by John Austin Stevens, Esq. " On the 15th of September, 1776, (soon after the disastrous battle on Long Island,) the British troops took possession of the city, and in their train were refugees from all sections. Later, traders and speculators came in hordes by every transport fleet from Great Britain, and a large business sprung up in the purchase and sale of army supplies, but the city itself found no profit in this abnormal traflSc. The streets and buildings were allowed to go to decay, with the exception of temporary repairs for sanitary reasons, and the glories of the once thriving city were but a story of the past. "Two terrible conflagrations added to the measure of distress and ruin. Hardly had the British troops taken possession ere (on the 21st of September, 1776), a disastrous fire breaking out in a small wooden house on the wharf near Whitehall, occupied by dissolute characters, spread to the northward, and con-- sumcd the entire city westward of Broadway to the very northernmost limit. In this terrible calamity, which owed its extent to the desertion of the city and the terror of the few remaining inhabitants, 493 houses were destroyed, including old Trinity and the Lutheran Church. Another destructive Are broke out on Cruger's wharf on the 3d of August, 1778, and burned about 54 houses. . At last the fortune of war changed. The thunder of the American artillery at Sara- toga, where the sons of l^^ew York were in full force on her own battle-fleld, and at Yorktown, where the same gallant corps vied in friendly and not unequal rivalry with the trained offloers of France, had cleared the sky, and beneath the smoke of battle peace was dawning in the near horizon. " On the 34th of March, 1783, Robert R. Livingston, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, notified Washington, then at West Point, of the agreeable intelligence of a general peace, and on the 9th of April following, at 13 o'clock, peace was proclaimed from the steps of the City Hall by the Town Major The patriots were in glee, the English occupants and their friends in alarm. During the Summer there was a constant departure of the hostile fleets, and the Whigs be- fan to pour into the city and take possession of their deserted homes and estates, 'eeling ran high, and the remaining loyalists awaited in terror the liour when the final withdrawal of the British forces should leave them helpless at the mercy of the irritated patriots. The prudent foresight of Gen. Washington, counselling 'moderation and steady behavior,' and the wise precautions of Gov. Clinton, happily arrested any disposition to excess, and in this they were nobly seconded by the Whig leaders, who, at the meeting to prepare for the re- ception of the American troops, after a signification of their opinion of those who had remained in the city during the British occupation, by a request that any such withdraw from the room, pledged themselves to ' prevent any confusion that may arise on and after the day of evacuation.' On the 35th day of Novem- ber the American army, under the command of Major-Gen. Henry Knox, marched from Harlem to the Bowery lane, where they remained until 1 o'clock, when, the British posts being withdrawn, the American column marched in and took possession of the city. Nothing could have been more grateful to New York than this disposition, for in Knox's artillery command was the favorite regiment commanded by Col. John Lamb, and olflcered by men who, like liim- self, were of the earlier patriots and sons of liberty. The new era began upon this day ; henceforth New York was to move on her marvelous career. In a few years she appears reorganized, rebuilt, with new architecture, new institu- tions, facile princeps the Imperial City of the Continent." w o d o Q NEW TOEK AS IT IS. PART II. DESCRIPTION or THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORE. Situation and Extent. view of New York from Weehawken. f I "iHE City of New York, proper, -L the chief City of the Empire State and the Commercial Metropolis of the United States, is the third city of the civilized world in point of population, trade and commerce. It stands on an Island of the same name, situated on the East side of the estuary of the Hudson River, at its junction with a narrow Strait called the East Elver, opening into Long Island Sound through a passage called Hell Gate; be- ing bounded by Westchester County on the North, on the East by the East River, and on the South and West by New York Bay and Hudson River, di- viding it from Long Island and New Jersey. It lies 18 miles from the Atlan- tic Ocean, passing through New York Bay and the "Narrows;" in N. lati- tude 40° 43' 43" W. long- itude 70' 0' 3' from Greenwich Ob., England. Mean Annual Tempera- ture 51° Fahr. ; elevated 50 feet above the ocean. Its distance from Al- bany, the Capital of the State, is 144 miles; from Philadelphia, 90 miles; from the City of Washing- ton, 238 miles, and from Boston, via Stonington and Providence, 314 miles. The Island, for the most part cov- ered with stores, warehouses and dwellings, is 13i miles long. North and South, with an average width of li miles, the greatest vridth being on the line of 14th Street, 2^ miles. Prom this circumstance, its limited width, great inconvenience is felt by the busi- ness portion of the inhabitants in daily passing from the upper to the lower part of the City, where bankers, mer- chants and working people congregate. On the North and the North-east, the land is separated from the main land (now forming the 23d and 24th Wards of the City, being taken from West- 52 NEW YOKK AS IT IS. Chester County) by the SpuytenDuyvil Creek, opening into the Hudson River, and by Harlem River, which connects ■with the Creek not far from King's Bridge, and opens into the East River, forming with the Creek a continuous but very winding water-way, 8 miles long. The /«to7id, including Blackwell's, Randall's and Ward's Islands, and other Islands in the Bay, covers an area of about 23 square miles, or 14,000 acres, its highest point being 338 feet above tide water, at Washington Heights. The above area has been nearly doubled by the annexation of territory from Westchester Co., making about 40 sq. miles. The surface in many parts is elevated, broken and rocky, vrith a de- scent into the East and Hudson Rivers. Bay and Islsmds — Fortifications, &c. New York Inner Bay forms one of the finest harbors in the world; it is about 8 miles in length, K. to S., and a breadth varying up to 5 miles. It may be entered from the Ocean by three passages — the Narrows, East River or Long Island Sound, and Staten Island Sound — but the first, between Long Is- land and Staten Island,is at once the best and by far the most frequented channel. The bar of the mouth of the Outer Bay, between Sandy Hook and Long Island, has 21 feet of water at ebb tide; and as the water rises about 5 feet, the largest class of ships may enter the Lower Bay. Within the bar, the water in the outer and inner Bays, and in the Hudson, is so deep that ships of the largest ton- nage lay close to the quays, and may proceed to a great distance up the Hud- son. The navigation of the Bay is but rarely impeded by ice. The great strength of the tide and the vicinity of the ocean keep it generally open. In the East River, extending in suc- cession towards Long Island Sound, are Blackwell's Island, with the City Penitentiary on the southerly end, a capacious Lunatic Asylum on the north, and a new Alms House in the middle section; Ward's Island, be- tween which and the former Hell Gate- is situated, and Randall's Island, are all attached to the City and County. In the Bay, fronting the Battery, at the distance of little more than half a mile, and separated from Long Island by Buttermilk Channel, is Governor's. Island; while toward the Jersey shore, and looking up the Hudson are Bedloe's and Ellis's Islands; the three latter Is- lands are all strongly fortified and occu- pied by United States Troops. Port Hamilton, on the Long Island shore, and Richmond, Tompkins, Columbus, and Lafayette (the latter a few years since destroyed by fire and not rebuilt), are erected at other points for guarding the approach to the City from a hostile foe. The navigation of the outer harbor, or Bay, is very easy, and were it not for the risk of violating marine insurances, the services of pilots would seldom be required. The Light Vessel, about two miles east of Sandy Hook, is the first light to guide the mariner; then comes Sandy Hook Light and two Beacon Lights, situated near the north point of Sandy Hook. The Oedney Ghamiel LIMITS OF THE CITY — TITE BATTEET. 53 forms the main entrance to the Lower Bay. The New Drop Beacon and the light on the east end of Staten Island, at the " Narrows," arc next sighted, and New York Harbor entered. The new Quarantine Station is located on a shoal called West Bank, about one mile be- low Fort Tompkins. The entrance from Long Island Sound, through Hell 'Gate, is somewhat an intricate passage, which has lately been greatly improved by increasing the depth of water, under the direction of the U. States Govern- ment. Vessels, on entering the mouth ■of the North River, often come to anchor, and others run into the slips to load and discharge at the wharves, on both sides of the City, which are con- tinually crowded with ocean steamers and shipping, displaying the flags of all nations. The City and County possesses the same limits, occupying the entire sur- face of the Island of Manhattan, to- gether with the former towns of King's Bridge, Morrisania and West Farms, which were annexed to the City by an Act of the Legislature, in 1873 ; they now form the 23d and 24th Wards of the City. New York or Manhattan Island is divided into 141,486 building lots, by survey, of which about one-half are appropriated. From Battery Point at the southern extremity, the City proper is regularly covered with streets and buildings for a distance of 6 miles, and also, but irregularly, 4 miles further to Harlem on the East side. On the West side again, it forms a concrete mass of stone and brick to about Sixtieth street, thence less compactly to above Bloom- ingdale, where it opens into the subur- ban districts of Mauhattanville and Washington Heights. The panoramic view of the approach to the City from the sea is very fine, the shores of the Bay, with the Heights in the background, being wooded down to the water's edge and thickly studded with villages, farms and country man- sions. The view of the City itself from the Bay is less prepossessing; for the ground on which it is built, though undulating, being nowhere considera- bly elevated, but little of it is visible from the water, and it has no very striking object to arrest the eye. It is of a triangular shape, bearing, in this respect, some resemblance to Constan- tinople. The oldest portion of the City, at the apex of the southern ex- tremity of the triangle, has still, not- withstanding the important improve- ments effected of late years, some nar- row and crooked streets. At the ex- treme southern point of the City is lo- cated the Battery, an open green of about 10 acres, dotted with a few fine trees, and, once, a fashionable promen- ade of our forefathers. On the Battery is Castle Garden, an old brick fort, now used by the Conimissioners of Emi- gration as a depot for emigrants on their arrival. Advancing to the more modern and improved regions of the City, we come to broad, straight thoroughfares, generally crossing one another at right angles. Broadway, the principal street of New York, and one 54 NEW TOEK AS IT IS. of the finest thoroughfares in the world, is a long and spacious avenue, 80 feet in mdth, extending in nearly a straight line for about six miles.and presenting a coup WibH of life, beauty, and diversity, almost unequalled, lined on either side as it is with edifices of striking and gen- erally noble style of architecture. Many of the great shops and stores in this and other leading streets are highly decorated, and present, on the whole, quite a sumptuous appearance. The dwelling-houses in the central parts of the City bring high prices, and indeed it may he said, that, to all classes other than the wealthy, house rents are almost Intolerably burdensome. The pavement throughout the City is, in the main, good, and the sidewalks wide and clean. The dwelling-houses of the richer class are almost invariably mass- ive and stately buildings, of brown- stone frontage; while the humbler dwellings of red brick, set off by their brightly painted green blinds, present, too, a very bright and cheerful aspect. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. In enumerating the public buildings, which are described imder their appro- priate heads, we shall first name The City Hall, Situated in the Park, about half a mile north from the Battery, and equi- distant from the East and North Rivers, standing in an open square of about eight acres, planted with trees and in- tersected by walks. It is 366 feet in length, by 105 feet in depth, with a height of 65 feet, and has a front of | white marble. The building was begun in 1803 and completed in 1812, at a cost of $538,734. The Mayor, Clerk of the Common Council, and many other city officials have their offices in this build- ing. On the second floor is the Gover- nor's Room, 52 by 26 feet, used for the reception of distinguished visitors. The cupola contains a four-dial clock, illu- minated at night by gas. A fountain stands in front of the City Hall, surrounded by paved walks, trees- and grass'plat. The New Court House, Fronting on Chambers street, coa- structed of East Chester and Massa- chusetts white marble, in the Corin- thian style, was begun in 1863, and is not completed, although an immense amount of money has been expended on the edifice. It is 350 feet long, 150> feet wide, and the crown of the dome is to be 310 feet above the pavement. It was first used in 1867, and accommo- dates the County Clerk, Sheriff, Sur- rogate and other City and County offl- cers;inpartbcingusedas Court Rooms- for the Court of Appeals, etc. Hall of Records, Stands on the east side of City Hall Park. It is a stone building, originally the City Prison, and in 1833 used as a. cholera hospital. This old, historic building of Revolutionary memory, has been remodeled and is now occupied and used as the Register's Office for the City and County of New York. City Prison. The principal building, called the " romJs," occupies a block on Centre PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 55 street; it is built of Maine granite, two stories liigb, in the Egyptian order of architecture. The structure is 253 by 200 feet, and occupies tlie four sides of a hollow square. In the front arc the rooms for the Court of Sessions, the Police Court, etc. The men's prison contains about 150 cells; the depart- ment for females is not so large. Crim- inals for murder, etc., are executed in the open court. The Penitentiaet, situated on Blackwell's Island, is an immense stone edifice ; the main building is four stories high, surmounted by a tower; tliereare also tTfo wings, each extending upwards of 200 feet from the centre building. Police Head-Quarters. This is a large marble structure at 300 Mulberry street, with elegant offices for officials; telegraphic communica- tions with each station-house ; rooms for the instruction of new members and the trial of offenders; a rogue's gallery of portraits, together with rooms for the Health Department of the City. The New Yokk Couhty Jail is situ- ated in Ludlow street, where non-resi- dent debtors and others are detained for trial. This prison contains 87 cells, or rooms, mostly for debtors. The Essex Market Prison is situ- ated at 69 Essex street, and there is another prison-house on East 57th st. Jefferson Market Prison and court rooms is a new brick edifice. On Blackwell's Island, lying in the East River, opposite East Forty-eighth to Eighty-third street, are several im- portant City buildings, all under the charge of the Commissioners of Char- ities and Correction : Charity Hospi- tal, Fever Hospital, Small-pox Hospi- tal, Infant Hospital, Hospital for In- curables, Hospital for Paralytics, Alms House, Penitentiary, Lunatic Asylum, and Workhouse. The island is formed of a narrow strip of land, one and three- quarter miles long. It is kept in perfect order, and is well worthy a visit. Ward's Island, situated at the junc- tion of the East and Harlem Rivers, contains a Hospital for Emigrants and a Lunatic Asylum. Randall's Island is situated a short distance north of Ward's Island. Here is a Nursery, in which children only two years old are committed. It usu- ally contains about 1,000 girls and boys who, if not claimed by their parents, are . indentured, at a suitable age, to learn some useful pursuit. United States Government Buildings. Custom House. — The present United States Custom House, fronting on Wall street, between I-Ianov(!r and William streets, covering a small block, stands on the site of the old Exchange Building, destroyed by fire in December, 1835. It is one of the finest and most substantial edifices in America, being built • of Quincy granite. The building is 200 feet long by 160 feet in width, and 77 feet high. Its portico is supported by 12 front, 4 centre and 2 rear Ionic col- umns, 38 feet long and 4i feet in dia- meter, each being formed from a single granite block weighing 45 tons. The Ro- tunda is 80 feet in diameter, 80 feet high ; and the dome, which is 124 feet above 56 NEW TOEK AS IT IS. the pavement, is supported by 8 pilas- ters of variegated Italian marble. The cost of its construction was $1,800,000. Here the Government collects about two-thirds of its customs revenue. Sub-Treasury Building. This noble edifice stands on conse- crated ground at the corner of Wall and Nassau streets, on the spot where .stood the old Federal Hall, on the bal- cony of which Washington was inaug- urated as the first President of the United States. It is a white marble fireproof structure, 00 feet front by 200 feet deep, running through to Pine street, with a rotunda 30 feet in diam- eter. The present structure cost about $1,200,000, and was erected in 1845. Here the United Stales Govern- ment deposits its gold, and here, under the direction of the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, our national monetary transactions are made. United States Assay Ofmce, 80 and 82 Wall street, located in the old United States Branch Building, next to the Sub-Treasury Building. The Assay Office was established in 1851, with all the functions of the United States Mint at Philadelphia except coinage. The principal business here transacted is the assaying and refinery of gold and silver, which is run into bars, being then ready for coinage or exportation. New York Post Office. This grand structure, situated at the southern part of the City Hall Park, is the most imposing edifice of its kind in the United States. It is triangular in form, with a front on Broadway and Park Bow. The walls are constructed of granite, five stories, beside basement and attic. The building accommodates both the Post Office and the United States District Court. In addition to the above details a general description of the building may be of interest. Ground was broken for the Post Office in August, 1869, and it will have cost, when completely fin- ished, about $8,000,000. The general plan is an immense triangle, inclosing an open triangular court. The light from this court extends down through three glass tessellated floors to the sub-cellar. The court is entirely open down to the first story. All the upper stories are well lighted and ventilated by this open space. The building, which is fire- proof throughout, occupies 21 city lots, has a frontage on Broadway of 340 feet, on Park Row of 320 feet, on the City Hall Park of 200 feet, and at its south- ern side a frontage of 130 feet. The height from the sidewalk to the lantern crowning the dome is 195 feet. The first two floors and the basement below are occupied by the Post Office, and the third and fourth floors by the United States Courts and offices, Dis- rict Attorney's office, United States Coinmissioners' office, Clerks' offices of the Circuit and District Courts, Law Library, etc. There are ten elevators for mail matter, and four for passen- gers. The building looms up grandly above the fine structures in the vi- cinity, and attracts and interests the attention of every beholder. The solid walls of the Post Office contain '1 ' a u POST OFFICE — MONUMENTS. 57 half a million cubic feet of granite. The business transacted in the Post Office in this City is sometliing mar- velous, being nearly double that of any other City in the Union. The aver- age number of domestic letters re- ceived and distributed daily is 300,000; the number of foreign letters received is 30,000, the number dispatched 35,000, and the number of local letters received and distributed, 120,000. There are 5,795 lock-boxes for letters, and 372 lock-boxes for newspapers. At the Post Office anQ stations there are about 1,300 employees, and 390 carriers are employed. In the Post Office proper there about GOO clerks. Experience has shown that Mondays and Thursdays are generally the heaviest days. To properly manage a business so vast and so complex as that transacted in the New York Post Office requires the highest order of executive ability, com- bined with a quick perception of needed details to systematize the work so as to make one harmonious machine.

Among the most con- spicuous are the following: The oldest monument of note in the City is that erected to the memory of Petbb Stutvesant. It is situated on the east side of St. Mark's Church, cor- ner of Stuyvesant and Second avenue, and bears an appropriate inscription. (See page 34.) . The Tombs of many other eminent men are located in this ancient burial place, which contains the remains of Dutch, English,, and American heroes. 58 NEW YOEK AS IT IS. Alexander Hamilton.

The monument to the memory of the gallant Lawrence aud Ludlow stands in Trinity churchyard, near Broad- way. The design is by the architect Upjohn, the sculpture by Fraser. It is built of the same material as the church, and hears the following inscrip- tion: In memory of Captain James LAAntENCE, of the United States Navy, Who fell on the 1st of June, 1813, in the 33d year of his age, In the action between the Frigates Chesapeake and Shannon, On the southern side of the monu- ment is an inscription as follows : In memory of Lieut.

This Monument is erected by order of Congress, 25tli Jan., 1776, to transmit to posterity a grateful re- membrance of the patriotism, conduct, enterprise and perseverance of Major-General Eicuard Montoomery: Who, after a series of successes amidst the most discouraging dilllcultics, I'ell in an attack on Quoljcc, Dec. 31, 1775, aged 37 years. Smmet's Monument. The monument erected lo the mem- ory of Emmet, stands in St. Paul's churchyard, near Broadway. It is a granite shaft with an appropriate in- scription : Born in Cork, 24th April, 1764. He died in New York, 14th Nov., 1827. Other Monuments to the illustriona dead are to be seen in both of the aboye churchyards. Washington Monument. The equestrian bronze statue of the Father of his Country, situated on south-east side of Union Square, is one of the finest in the City. The com- manding figure and pedestal are 29 feet in height. The monument erected to the mem- ory of President Lincoln stands on the opposite side of Union Square, near Fourteenth street. It was erected in 1870. The pedestal is formed of three granite slabs which weigh over 40 tons. The statue is of bronze, eleven feet high, and weighs 3 ,000 lbs. Worth Monument, Stands On the west side of Madison Square, on Fifth Avenue: it is a gran- ite obelisk, and presents in relief the equestrian image of the noble general who signalized himself in the war with Mexico. The Franklin Monument, on Print- ing House Square, opposite City Hall Park, is a recent and appropriate statue erected in honor of the philosopher and statesman of Revolutionary memory. In addition to the above, a number of costly and appropriate monuments are to be found in the Central Park. WASHINGTON MONUMENT— UNION SQUARE. PUBLIO PARKS — COLLEGES, CHUE0HE8, &0. 59 PUBLIC PARES. There are numerous Public Parks and Squares iu different parts of the City, the most prominent of wliich is the Central Park, containing 843 acres, situated near the centre of the Island. This is, unquestionably, one of the most beautiful parks of its age and kind in the world. Besides the Parks and Squares in the lower part of the City, there are two or three large Parks pro- vided for on the banks of the Hudson River, yet in an imflnished state, but which, eventually, wiU be completed, and add largely to the beauties of the Metropolis. A full description of the Parks is elsewhere given. The Boulevards on the Island and North of Harlem River, within the City limits, afford great attraction to the pedestrian as well as the lovers of fine drives on good graveled roads. The Cbmetbkies, or Burial places, are now mostly located outside the City limits. IHmty Cemetery, on Washington Heights, comprises 36 acres. Woodlawn Cemetery is situated six .miles North of Harlem Bridge, in the 24th Ward of the City. COI.i:.EOIIS, OHUROHES, &o. Columbia College, (formerly King's), established in 1754, has a pres- ident and eight other professors, about 170 students, a library of 25,000 volumes, and an estate valued at upwards of $2,000,000. The University of the City of New York, chartered in 1831, and opened the following year, situated op- posite Washington Square, is a fine marble structure, in the English col- legiate style, 180 feet in length, by lOO feet in width. The front is divided into five parts, the chapel being in the- centre, with wings, and flanked by towers on either side. The New York College stands on the corner of Lexing- ton Avenue and Twenty-third Street. Among the ecclesiastical edifices of New York are Trinity Church, situate; in Broadway, opposite Wall Street. It is a Gothic structure, of solid brown^ stone from foundation to spire, with the exception of the roof, which is of wood; the height of the steeple is 282. feet, and its general architectural beau- ty make^ it, on the whole, very impos- ing; the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Patrick, now in course of construc- tion on Fifth Avenue, between 51st and 53d Streets, in the Decorated style, after the model of the celebrated cathedral at Cologne, and when completed it will be by far the most magnificent ecclesiastic building in the United States. The City contains 470 churches, at- tached to various denominations, viz : Baptist, 43; Congregational, 8; Lu- theran, 20; Methodist Episcopal, 56; African Methodist Episcopal, 6; Wes- leyau Methodist, 1; Methodist ProteSr tant, 1; Free Methodist, 1; Moravian, 2; Presbyterian, 62; United Presby- terian, 10; Reformed Presbyterian, 6; Protestant Episcopal, 80; Reformed, 25; Roman Catholic, 43; Unitarian, 5;, Universalist, 7; Miscellaneous, 34; be- sides, 5, Friends' meeting houses, 29 Jews' synagogues, 34 city missions, 3 other missions, and 9 seamen's churches. €0 NEW TOEK AS IT IS. The Bible House, comer Fourth avenue and Aster Place ; the Association Hall, and National Academy of Design, standing opposite, on Fourth Avenue, comer 23d Street, are all noble struc- tures. The new Masonic Hall, at the corner of Sixth Avenue and 33d Street, finished and dedicated in June, 1875, is one of the most costly and magnificent ^tmctures in the City. The new Stock Exchange on Broad Street, with an en- trance on Wall Street, is a fine building. In the vicinity is situated the Gold Ex- change, tills being the money centre of America. The Thbatkes and Halls of Amuse- ment are numerous, numbering about 30 Theatres, &c., which are usually nu- merously attended. The Academy of Music, the Grand Opera House, Booth's Theatre, Fifth Avenue Theatre, Wal- lack's Theatre and others, are favorites. The Hotels are also numerous, many teing constructed for the accommoda- tion of guests regardless of cost. TheAs- tor House, St. Nicholas Hotel, Metropol- itan Hotel, Fifth Avenue Hotel, Grand Hotel, Grand Central, Brevoort House, Windsor Hotel, and others, are large and noble edifices. On the line of Broadway and Fifth Avenue, there are upwards of ttiirty of these stately and capacious buildings. In other parts of the City, of easy access to omnibus and street car lines, they no less aboimd, altogether numbering about one hun- dred good hotels, kept on the American and European plans. The Bestaukants, or Eating- EoiJSES, are still more numerous, being found in fashionable parts of the City, uptown, and convenient to business men in the lower part of the City. Oroton Aqueduct and Water- Works. New York formerly labored under a great deficiency of water; but latterly this deficiency has been fully supplied by means of the Croton Aqueduct, a work worthy of being ranked with the noblest of the old Roman aqueducts. It commences about 45 miles from the City at the Croton River, the waters of which are collected by an immense dam. The aqueduct proceeding thence is arched over and under, being 6 feet 3 inches wide at bottom, 7 feet 8 inches at top, and 8 feet 5 inches in height. It has a descent of 1,83 inches per mile, and discharges 60,000,000 gallons in 24 . hours. It crosses the Harlem River over the famous High Bridge, a struc- ture of granite, 1,450 feet in length, with 14 arches, each of 80 feet span, 110 feet above tide-water. The receiving reser- voir has a water surface of 31 acres, and contains 160,000,000 gallons; the dis- tributing reservoir, covering 4 acres, has a depth of 40 feet, and holds 31,000,- 000 gallons. Thence the water is dis- tributed over the City by means of iron pipes, from 6 to 36 inches in diameter, extending, in 1870, to the length of 330 miles, 5,237 feet. The entire cost has been $13,376,000. The water was par- tially introduced into the City in Jxily, 1843, but the works were not complet- ed till 1845. This ample supply of pure water has made a great sanitary im- provement in the City; for, as regards H. U SCHOOLS, ACADEMIES, HOSPITALS, ASYLUMS, &0. 61 cleanliness and salubrity, there was great room for change. The City is traversed throughout by numerous Street Railroads, while scores of Ferry-steamers maintain communica- tion with Brooklyn, Jersey City, Staten Island, and all the outlying suburban places of importance on the East and Hudson Rivers. A monster Suspension Bridge over the East River, intended to connect the cities of New York' and Brooklyn, was begun in 1870, and is still unfinished; the towers on either side presenting a gigantic appearance. Schools, Academies, &c. New York possesses an excellent sys- tem of free schools, and every facility is afforded by large and conunodious school-houses, free books and materials, and competent teachers, for the educa- tion of all children within its bounda- ries. These schools are managed by a Board of Education. The City is divid- ed into eight educational districts, over which 3 inspectors are appointed. Be- sides these, there are 5 school trustees ever each of the 34 wards of the City. There are 58 grammar schools, and 40 primary schools — besides 6 colored grammar schools. The industrial schools number seventeen. There are 12 cor- porate schools which participate in the school-fund, and 9 colleges. There are, besides, 38 Roman Catholic free schools. The same denomination have, of high schools, St. Xavier's College, under the Jesuits ; St. Vincent's Academy, and the Academy of the Holy Infancy ; Brothers' Christian Schools, and con- vents and academies of the Sacred Heart. The City has also an Episcopal Seminary, and various other sectarian high schools; three medical colleges, historical, law, agricultural, horticultu- ral, topographical, musical, and numer- ous other learned societies, with ex- tensive readjng rooms. Hospitals, Asylums, &c. The New York Hospital and that of Bellevue, are the principal of the numer- ous institutions for medical relief. There are admirable establishments for the blind and the deaf and dumb; a society for the reformation of juvenile offend-' ers; a farm termed "Long Island Farms" for the provision of destitute children, and a great variety of other useful public institutions ; — ^but our space does not permit us to pass in de- tail the multitudinous institutions, ob- jects, and pla&es of interest and impor- tance diffused over this great city. — The New York Hospital, the oldest in- stitution of the kind in the State, was- chartered by George III., in 1771. The Asylum for the Insane, at Blooming- dale, is a branch of the hospital. It has about forty acres of ground, and a fine botanical garden. The New York Wo- man's Hospital, for the exclusive treat- ment of diseases of women, is the only one of the kind in the country. Among the numerous other charitable institu- tions are the Association for the Relief of the Poor (which has an organization thoroughly supervising the City, and re- lieves all deserving poor not otherwise provided for), the New York'Orphaa Asylum (on the banks of the Hudson,, at Bloomingdale), the Leake and Watts.'' €2 NEW YOEK AS IT IS. Orphan House (in N. 112th Street,) the New Foundling Hospital, &c. There are also many private benevolent socie- ties, besides Masonic, Odd Fellows, Druids, United Americans, Sons of Hermann, German Verein, Hebrew Be- nevolent, Sons of Temperance, and nu- merous other societies and associations. The CooPBK Institute, for moral, in- tellectual and physical culture, is a fine edifice of six stories, on Third and Fourth avenues. It contains a large lecture-room, a valuable library, and numerous other rooms with philosophi- cal apparatus, study, free reading- Toom, &c. Prominent among the Public Libra- ries are the Astor Library, now having upwards of 160,000 volumes ; the Mercantile Library, in Astor Place, which is a leading library, with about 150,000 volumes, and the New York Society Library. The Lenox Library ifl a new institution, which is elsewhere described ; also, the other Libraries. By recent Acts of the Legislature the City is governed by a Mayor and Com- mon Council, consisting of twenty-two aldermen, elected by apportionment, irom the five senatorial Districts, and the 33d and 24th wards, annually. These to- gether form the Common Council. Oity Oovemment, Oourts, Police, etc. The Mayor, formerly appointed by the Oovemor and Senate of the State, is now elected by the popular vote every two years. The Council exercises the legislative power in the City, subject to the approbation of the Mayor; but in case of the latter vetoing any ordinance, it may be passed by a majority of the whole number of the members present. In addition to that of the City there is a County Government, vested in a board of 13 Supervisors and 33 Aldermen, who have partial control of taxation, civil and criminal courts, and county offices. New York is politically divided into 7 congressional, 5 State senatorial, 31 assembly, 8 judicial, 24 school or ward, and 217 election districts. The City forms the 1st judicial district and the 1st military division of the State. The judicial tribunals are: the Supreme Court, of 5 judges, the Superior Court, of 6 judges, the Marine Court, of 6 judges, 10 district civil courts, courts of oyer and terminer (held by a judge of the Supreme Court), the general sessions and special sessions and 6 police courts. The Circuit and District Courts pf the the United States are held in the new Post Office Building; also, all the offices connected therewith — District Attor- ney's Office, Marshal's Office, &c. The paid Fire Department, managed by a board of 3 commissioners, is com- posed of 38 steam-engine companies, and 15 hook-and-ladder companies. The Police Department is under the absolute control of a board of 4 com- missioners; and there is besides a su- perintendent and four inspectors for the whole district, which includes New York, Bichmond, and Westchester counties. The force in New York consists of 34 captains, 133 sergeants, 70 roundsmen, 1,031 patrolmen, and 73 doormen — total 2,159.

Markets. The New York Markets, 12 in num- ber, are most of them well provisioned with abundance of meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables. The principal Markets are Fulton Market, built in 1831, at a cost of upwards of $200,000— located on a block bounded by Fulton, Beek- man. Front and South streets — and Washington Market, situated on the western side of the city, facing the North Kiver, between Fulton and Vesey streets ; this market receives the pro- duce mostly from the North and West, while Fulton Market is mostly supplied from Long Island and the East. The other principal Markets are Catharine, Clinton, Chelsea, Centre, Essex, Jeffer- son and Tompkins Market. Moneyed Institutionb. — There are now in the City of New York (1876), 76 National and State Banks j 38 Sav- ings Banks ; 86 State Fire Insurance Companies, beside numerous Agencies ; 10 Marine Insurance Companies, 20 State Life Insurance Companies besides Agencies; 4 Safe Deposit Companies, a Stock Exchange Company, a Gold Ex- change Company, and a Bank Clearing , * Has control of all structures and property connected with the supply and distribution of Croton water, of opening streets, &c. 64 NEW TOEK AS IT IS. House. In addittion to the above there are about three hundred Bankers, be- sides numerous Brokers who transact an immense amount of business, both dealing in Money, Stock, etc. The total capital thus invested in Banks, etc., must amount to several hundred millions of dollars— making the total cash capital and assets to represent, at least, 11,000,000,000. Manufacturers, Commerce, etc. The manufactures are numerous and very diversified, producing annually an immense amount of manufactured fab- rics of various kinds. Ship-building also is conducted on a vast scale. But New York is pre-eminently a vast com- mercial city, second only to London in some respects. The rise in the tide in the Hudson is felt at Troy, 150 miles above New York, and large vessels as- cend to Albany, affording the greatest facilties for the transportation of pro- duce from and to the interior by means of canals and railroads. Floating Population. — The City of New York stands unrivalled as a great commercial mart or entrepot. Five thousand vessels arrive here annually from foreign and domestic ports; 300 large steamships being included in the number making monthly trips to and from European and other foreign ports. Five-sevenths of all the emigrants and strangers entering this country land at New York; hence its population con- sists of people from all nations of the globe. The transient population is im- mense. There are on an average 16,000 emigrants per month, or about 200,000 landing at Castle Garden yearly. There are probably always stopping in the city, 6,000 emigrants; 6,000 seamen and boatmen ; strangers at hotels and board- ing houses, 20,000; making altogether upwards of 80,000. But the daily arri- vals by means of steam ferryboats and railroad cars exceed all calculation. From Brooklyn alone 125,000 persons cross at the several ferries daily; as many more, no doubt, arrive from Staten Island, Jersey City, Hoboken, and the Hudson River steamers, making in all 250,000 to be added to the 1,000,- 000 permanent residents. According to the Official Censue? of 1870, the nationalities of the population of New York stood as follows: Born in the United States, 523,198; born in foreign countries and representing forty different nationalities, 419,094. Avenues and Streets. The Avenues and Streets of the City of New. York, during the past thirty years, have undergone many alterations and extensions. Looking at the map, the streets in the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Wards show considerable irregularity exists, but above Canal street, they, for the most part, run at right angles to each other. The avenues known as A, B, C and D, and then numbering from I. to XII., extending across the Island, from east to west; they run north and south, from above Houston street to the Harlem River. The cross streets, numbering from 1 to 150,. and upwards, usually run from the East to the North River, AVENUES AND STREETS. 65 being designated as East and after passing Fif tli Avenue. This ar- rangement is broken into by Central Park, which extends from the Fifth to the Eighth avenue, and from West 59th to West 110th street. Broadway, or Bloomingdale road, however, with Kingsbridge road, extends the whole length of the Island, from the Battery to Harlem River, or Spuyten Duyvil Creek, a distance of thirteen miles. Besides Broadway, the great thor- oughfare of New York, may be named other streets and avenues prominent for width, length, or for business pursuits. Wall street. Broad street, Nassau street, Chatham street, the Bowery, Canal street Hudson and Greenwich streets are all in the lower part of the city ; also Pearl street, one mile and three-eighths in in length, it commences at State street, a short distance from Broadway, and runs in a circuitous course through Hanover Square and Franklin Square to Chatham street, then runs west to Broadway, nearly a mile from the Bat- tery. Fulton street and Maiden Lane are both important business streets. The principal Avenues, including Second avenue, Third avenue. Fourth avenue. Sixth avenue. Seventh avenue and Eighth avenue, are all important thoroughfares and business streets ; but the Fifth avenue is the great pride of the City. Here may be seen rows of stately private residences, churches, ho- tels and places of amusement, while the avenue is reserved as a magnificent drive from Washington Square to Central Fark, a distance of three or four miles. Fourteenth street and Twenty-third streets are also wide and elegant streets. The southern portion of the city, be- low Broome street, is almost entirely devoted to business purposes, the stores and storehouses -being for the most part constructed of brick, iron and stone in the most substantial manner, many of them being rendered fire- proof. The northern portion of the Island, much of which is not yet thickly set- tled, was early laid out in a regular manner, under the superintendence of Governor Morris, DeWJtt Clinton and John Rutherford, Commissioners ap- pointed for the purpose by the Legisla- ture of the State of New York, in 1807. The survey of John Randall, jr., was commenced in 1811, and occupied ten years. The avenues before alluded to were laid out in this survey, running nearly north and south, and had to be cut through the opposing rocks and hills at great expense. They are inter- sected by 156 cross streets, numerically designated, which, with the Avenues, form oblong rectangles, most of them 300 by 800 feet. The City has suffered at times during the present century from destructive fires, of which the greatest occurred in 1835 and 1845. The former destroyed about five hundred stores and ware- houses, with sundry public buildings ; total loss estimated at $17,000,000. These conflagrations have, however, led, as have similar visitations else- where, to the improvement of the city. 66 iraw TOEK AS IT IS. Railroads. Maiiy of the Avenues and Streets are now used by City Railroads, running in almost every direction — a complete list will be given in another part of this volume. The Harlem Bailroad.Bix miles in length, was finished to Yorkville in 1834, and soon afterwards completed to Harlem, eight miles. The first City Bailroad was built in 1852. The JfeiB Ycn-k and Ha/rlem Railroad, Hudson River Railroad, and the New York and Nem Haven Railroad, all ter- minate at the Grand Central Railroad Depot on East 42d street, comer of Fourth avenue. The Brie Railroad terminates on the New Jersey shore, opposite Chambers street. A peculiar feature of New York and its thoroughfares are the dense crowd of pedestrians that passes down and up Broadway, and other leading streets, morning and evening ; also, the nu- merous vehicles drawn by horses that throng the business portion of the City from morning till night, often rendering the crossing of the streets a feat of great danger, especially during inclement weather, when the streets are liable to be in a wretched condition from the ac- cumulation of mud and ice. The nu- merous street railroad cars and tracks are also obstructions to the promenad- ing of the great thoroughfares of the City. The great throng crossing the principal steam ferries to Brooklyn and Jersey City likewise shows the influx of persons living in the suburbs of the metropolis — amounting to several hun- dred thousand daily of foot passengers. Life in Nem York. — The various na- tionalities that constitute the great mass of the inhabitants of the City of New York, show many distinctive features, more or less blended. The educated English, Scotch, Irish, French and Ger- man blend with the New Yorker, and the inhabitants from other States of the Union, here resident, and form, alto- gether, a cosmopolitan society. Yet still, the native New Yorker, with the better portion of the New Englanders, form the elite of its inhabitants. This portion of society, often possessing tal- ent and great wealth, fostering science and the arts, together with every laud- able undertaking, are the just pride of the nation — showing their liberality for the good of the human race. Here in New York, looking at the bright side, are to be found honest worth, enterprise, talent and liberality combined, that goes far to redeem the City from all that is objectionable; while, on the other hand, the corrupt politician, and the ignorant masses that follow in their wake, form a class of society at war with the best interests of the City and the nation at large. CENSUS OF THE CITY OF NEW TOEK. 61 Census of tlie City of New York from 1790 to 1875. The recently taken (State) Census of "New York City shows a total popu- lation ol the 24 "Wards of i;064,373, heing an increase since 1870 of 131,980, or 2.6 per cent, a year. This increase results partly, however, from the annex- ation of two "Wards since 1870, with a population of 86,466. The increase is not nearly so large as expected, nor as the growth between 1865 and 1870, according to the censuses of those years. This is partially owing to the decrease of immigration, but more largely to the fact that the City of New York proper is already crowded, and that its surplus population is overflow- ing into the suburbs. Henceforth the population of Manhattan Island will grow with comparatively small speed, while its suburbs in Long Island, along the Hudson River, and in Connecticut and New Jersey, will grow with great rapidity. In this connection, the table below, showing the population of the City according to difEerent censuses since 1790, wiU be of interest. It is curious to note the sensitiveness of our population to business condi- tions, as indicated in this table. The first check which came to the growth of the City was caused by the war of 1813-15. The next arose from the gen- eral stagnation from 1835 to 1830. The growth from 1830 to 1835 was beyond that of any previous period of five years, and was followed by as sudden a depression, consequent on the revulsion in 1837 from the excessive speculation of the previous years, as well as the de- struction of a considerable part of the City by flre. The impulse given by the discovery of gold in California is shown by the gain from 1845 to 1850. The civil war is sufQcient to account for the ap- parent diminution in 1865, and the re- vulsion of 1873 for the somewhat un- satisfactory figures for the present year. Per cent.

Taxation. — The rate of taxation in the City of New York is about $3 per $100, while the figures for Brooklyn vary from $3. 15 to $3.50 per $100 in the different wards. The two main sources of the burdens of both cities are the prosecution of premature public "im- provements '' on the most extravagant scale, and the vast proportions which their bonded debt has been allowed to assume. This burden of itself tends to retard the increase of population. 68 NEW YOEK AS IT IS. RAILROADS DIVERGING FROM THTl CITY OF NEW YORK. Name. From. To. MlLE9.

The Debt of New York City is about one hundred and fifteen dollars of debt to every man, woman and child. The rate of Taxation lias increased from one-lialf of one per cent, in 1805 to two and nine-tenths per cent, in 1875. The amount of Tax now to each inhabitant is $30, while in 1810, sixty-flve years ago, it was only $1.35 — being now nearly twenty-four times as much as then. While the property in 1810 was $264 to each inhabitant, now it is $1,154, or about four times what it was then. In other words, tlte taxes liave increased six times as fast as the property. Notwithstanding the enormous taxation, the debt has increased from $3.82 to each inhabitant, to $114.98 in the last forty-five years. From 1865 to 1875 the debt has grown from thirty-five millions to one hiuidred and twenty milliousv The, rate of taxation per $100 is $2.94. Tax Levy for 1876. The Board of Estimate and Apportionment decided to fix the financial budget for 1876 at $30,904,395.64, after deducting the sum of $4,000,000, which it waa estimated, would be the revenue from the general fund.

COLIiEGES, ACADEMIES AND SCHOOLS. COLUMBIA COLLEGE. (Formerly King's CoUege.) This venerable Institution of learning is now located on East Forty-ninth Street, between Madison and Fourth Avenues. HistoruMl Sketch,— '"The establishment of a College in the City of New York (during Colonial times), was many years in agitation before the design was car. ried into effect. At length, under an Act of Assembly, passed in December, 1746, and other similar acts which followed, moneys were raised by public lot- tery "for the encouragement of learning, and towards the founding a College" within the Colony. These moneys were, in November, 1751, vested in trustees, ten in number, of whom seven were members of the Church of England, and some of these seven were also vestrymen of Trinity Church. "These circumstances, together with the liberal grant of land to the College by Trinity Church, excited apprehensions of a design to introduce a church- establishment within the province, and caused violent opposition to the plan, as soon as it became known, of obtaining a royal charter for the College. This opposition, however, being at last in a great measure surmounted, the chartei was granted on the 31st of October, 1754; from which period the existence of the College is properly to be dated." The College building was first erected on Park Place, west of Broadway, bounded by Broadway, Church and Murray Streets, and by the Hudson Eiver, and known as King's CoUege. In 1760 the College buildings began to be occu- pied, and these stood for one hundred and three years, until its removal to another site, in 1857, occasioned by the demands of the business of the city. " Since the passing of the charter, the institution hath received great emolu- sments by grants from his most gracious majesty King George the Third, and liberal contributions from many of the nobility and gentry in the parent coun- try, from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, and from several public-spirited gentlemen in America and elsewhere. By means of these and other benefactions, the governors of the College have been enabled to extend their plan of education, herein being taught, by proper masters and pro- fessors — ^Divinity Nitural Law, Physic, Logic, Ethics, Metaphysics, Mathe- 90 NEW YOKK AS IT IS. matics.

In THE Plan op Instruction adopted by the College of Physicians and Sur- geons, Clinical Teaching constitutes an important and prominent feature, all tlie practical subjects treated in the Didactic Course being fully illustrated at the bedside. In the furtherance of this object, the College itself and the exten- sive Hospitals of New York furnish ample fields for instruction and study. Tlie CoLUBGE Clinics, held within the College building, have been for some years an important feature of the course. In these Clinics a great variety of diseases in all the prominent departments of Practical Medicine and. Surgery are presented for observation and diagnosis, their peculiarities ex- plained, by the lecturer, the appropriate treatment prescribed, and the requisite surgical operations performed before the class. Opportunities are also afforded at successive Clinics for observing the effect of remedies on the progress of the case. In this way, besides the Clinics held at the various Hospitals, nine are- given each week in the College, thus affording constant opportunities for clini- cal instruction, without the otherwise necessary loss of time. During the yea/r 1874, 6,000 new patients were registered. At the Bbllevub Hospital, situated within ten minutes' walk of the College, at the corner of 2Gth Street and First Avenue, will be found the largest collec- tion of medical and surgical cases in the United States. This institution receives over six thousand patients annually, thus affording to the student the oppor- tunity of seeing for himself the greatest possible number and variety of diseases. Clinical Lectures are given at this Hospital by Professors Clakk, Makkob, Sands, Jacobi, and others. The Medical Colleges in the city are equally repre- sented as rega/rds the number of Attending Physicians and Surgeons, and the number of hours devoted to CUnical Instruction. At the Charity Hospital, Blackwell's Island, there are over one thousand patients, a large number of whom are affected with Chronic Diseases of various kinds ; and, in the Venereal Wards is a very valuable collection of Syphilitic Diseases and otlier affections of the Genito-urinary System, both chronic and acute. Clinical instruction is given by Prof. Otis and Dr. R. W. Taylor. TiiB Roosevelt Hospital, in 59th Street and Tenth Avenue, has been for throe years in successful operation. Professors Parker, Clark, Metcalfe, Markob, Sands, Thomas, Draper, and Dr. "Weir, are members of the Medi- cal and Surgical Staff of the Hospital. The Dispensaries of New York form a valuable addition to the means of clinical observation in a large class of affections. There are twenty-one of these dispensaries, situated in various parts of the city, where the sick poor, whose aliments are not of such a nature as to confine them to their homes, re- sort for advice and treatment. One of the largest and finest of these institu- tions is the Demilt Dispensary, situated at the corner of Twenty-third Street and Second Avenue, within a few minutes' walk of the College. At this Dis- pensary, over 22,000 patients were examined and treated during' the past year. The diseases are divided into various classes, each class being examined and prescribed for by the attending physicians, who are in attendance daily from 9 to 4 P.M. 94 NEW YORK AS IT IS. At the New York Eye and Ear Inpirmakt, 13th Street and Second Avenue, over 10,000 new patients and 1,300 operations were recorded during the past year. Prof. Cdbtis is connected with the Eye Department, Dr. Buck with that for Diseases of the Ear, and Dr. Weir with that for Diseases of the Throat. At the Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital, 233 E. 34th Street, of which Prof. Aqnew is Surgeon, 3,100 new patients were treated, and 580 operations, thought worthy of record, performed. At the New York Ophthalmic and Aural Institute, 46 East 12th Street, Tinder the charge of Dr. Knapp, 4,145 new patients were treated, and 413 ope- rations, exclusive of minor ones, were performed during the past year.

The movement which resulted in the cstablisliment of the Musbum op Akt ■was initiated at a public meeting for a consultation on this subject, held on the 23d day of November, 1869, when a Special Committee of fifty was appointed. The number of this Committee was increased, and the gentlemen organized the Association substantially as it exists at present. On the 13th of April, 1870, the Legislature of the State of New York granted an Act of Incorporation to this body, by the name of "The Metropolitan Museum of Art," to be located in the City of New York, "for the purpose of establishing and maintaining in said City a Museum and Library of Art, of encouraging and developing the Study of the Fine Arts, and the application of Art to manufacture and natural life, of advancing the general knowledge of kindred subjects, and to that end of furnishing popular instruction and recreation." In 1871 an Act was passed by the Legislature of New York, authorizing the Department of Parks to raise $500,000, for the erection of a building to receive the collections of the Museum, in accordance with which a flre-proof building is now being constructed in Central Park, and, it is expected, will be ready for occupation in about two years. A Collection of interesting Works of Art, presented and belonging to the Museum, of the aggregate value of $350,000, are now on exhibition at the Douglas Mansion, 128 West Fourteenth street. The Loan Collection, consisting of fine Statuary, ancient and modern Paint- ings, Ceramics, Porcelains, Enamels, Carvings, Arms, Armor, &c., &c., has proved a great success. Numerous objects of value are being constantly offered, and important additions are expected to be placed at the disposal of the Trustees, so soon as the new building in the Central Park shall be ready for occupation. In order to extend the educational influence of these and other Collections, the Trustees have bestowed free admissions to the Museum, on the Art Students of the National Academy of Design, and Cooper Institute, which privileges have been largely availed of by them. Subscribers are divided into four classes: those contributing at one time $1,000 and upwards become Patrons in Perpetuity; $500, Fellows in Perpetuity; $200, Fellows for Life; Annual Members have recently been added. On pay- ment of a yearly subscription of $10, the Annual Member is entitled to invitations to all Receptions given by the OflScers of the Museum, and to a ticket admitting two persons, which may be used by any member of his family, or by friends (non- residents;, who may be visiting him. All Annual Subscriptions paid prior to Jan. 1st, 1876, will expire 31st December, 1876. 102 NEW TOEK AS IT IS. OFFICERS OF THE MUSEUM. (For the year ending May, 1876.)

This noble Institution, founded by the munificence of Peter Cooper, Esq., issued its sixteenth annual report in May, 1875. The following is an extract : "The reports of the various departments of the Cooper Union show progress, enlarged facilities and increased usefulness as the result of that wise foreca.st and economy with which this Institution has been administered. After six- teen years of thoughtful and laborious administration, the trustees, officers and teachers, ought to feel gratified that the Cooper Union holds no second place among those Institutions devoted to the ' Advancement of Practical Science and Industrial Art.' " The total list of pupils, male and female, amounted to upwards of 2,800 — a greater number than any previous year. There are connected with the Insti- tution two Schools of Art, one for males and one ion females, and a School of Science — all presided Over by competent instructors.

" Our position among the great associations of to-day is well defined. The little organization of 1785 has become a great power in our Metropolitan society of 1875. Its prosperity has kept pace with the marvelous growth of our great City. Its efficiency, though not so great as we hope for at a future day, is a subject of congratula- tion. Its system of instruction by classes, aided by those powerful adjuncts of education, the Public Library and Public Lectures, is comprehensive enough to be in keeping with the spirit of the age. Recognizing the relations of skilled handicraft to the prosperity of a nation, our Society, among an industrious and free people, has done its part to assert and maintain the dignity of labor." The Society is now managed by Gtanding; Committees on Finance, Pensions, School, Library, Literary and Scientific, having special assigned duties.

Disturnell. under the name of the " American Geogrofphieal and Statistical Society." AMEEIOAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. 105 Its object, as expressed in the Constitution, was " for the collection and diffu- sion of geographical and statistical information, and to consist of ordinary, cor- responding and honorary members." The late Hon. George Folsom and DeWitt Bloodgood, Esq. , were among its founders. In October, 1851, the late Hekry Grinnbll, Esq., was elected President, and served until February, 1852, when the Hon. Geo. Bancroft was elected President, and the rooms removed to the University Building, Wash- ington square. The Society became incorporated under the general Act, in May, 1853, but, on the 13th April, 1854, obtamed a special charter more in accordance with its wishes and views. Its charter has since been amended and name changed to "American Geographical Society," theieby annulling in part, the object of its original founders. The Rev. Francis L. Hawks, D. D., was elected President, Dec. 7, 1854, and, after his death in 1866, Hon. Cuarles P. Dalt was elected President of the Society. It has published, from time to time, Bulletins of its transactions, among which are many valuable papers. In 1851, the late Asa Whitney, Esq., read a paper on the proposed Paciiic Railway ; in 1852 a paper was read by E. A. Hop- kins, Esq., on Paraguay, followed by General Mosquera on New Grenada; on the Polar Sea, by the late Dr. E. K. Kane, U. S. N., and on Geographical Sci- ence, by Lieut. Matthew P. Maury. Numerous other papers have since been read before the Society by distinguished savans, and addresses made by the pre- siding ofBcers.* Its Library consists of about 11,000 volumes, being rich in geo^aphical and statistical works, charts, maps, &c. This library should be made mainly to consist of works of reference, and thrown open to students in search of geographical and statistical knowledge. OFFICERS FOR 1876. Charles P. Daly, President.

This association was organized January 30, 1865, hj the adoption of a Consti- tution and the framing of By-Laws for its government. " The objects of the Association shall be pursued by the following means, viz. : The reading of papers on scientific subjects, the discussion thereon, the delivery of Lectures, the pre- sentation and preservation of works of art, inventions, improvements in manu- factures, machinery, and other subjects promotive of general knowledge, and the offering of prizes therefore." Its labors were divided into ten sections, with a chairman for each division. The Association for several years had rooms provided for their accommoda- tion in the Cooper Union, then removed to a new location, and ultimately was almost disbanded. In 1874 it was revived, and a course of Lectures begun under its auspices, which proved a success, being largely attended by an appreciative audience. This season, 1875-'70, there will be Lectures delivered by eminent men in Rev. Dr. Rogers' Church, comer of Fifth avenue and Twenty-first street. Admission free * OPPICBRS ELECTED IN 1865. John H.

This magnificent building, recently erected on the corner of Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue, opposite Booth's Theatre, occupies a lot 141 feet by 98 feet 9 inches, and is constructed of light and dark granite. The style of architecture is the Rpnaissance, and the design, as marked out by the architect, Mr. Le Brun, is exceedingly chaste and well-proportioned. The building is five stories high, and each story distinctly represented in the exterior. *A8 this Association has attained a high ranlc among kindred scientific societies, we append the names of its founders, who first organized in December, 1864, under the title of the " Society of Associates of the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art:" Committee on Organization — John H.

MASONIC 800IETIK6. lOT A pavilion ornamented by columns and surmounted by a quadrangular dome fifty feet square at the base and rising 155 feet above the pavement is the main feature of Twenty-third street. Curtains embellished with allegorical statuary connect this centre compartment with corner pavilions, each 26 feet square at the base, rising 95 feet to the top of the main cornice, and capped by a Mansard roof. The front, on Sixth avenue, will be in harmony with that on Twenty- third street. The first story is entirely arranged for stores, three larce ones on the street and four on the avenue. The main entrance will be on Twenty-third street, in the curtain next to Sixth avenue, and is to have a Doric portico. In front of this portico will be placed two Masonic columns, surmounted by globes 20 feet high, the significance of which will be duly appreciated by Masons. These, together with the statuary and the arms of the Grand Lodge, on the fifth story, will form the only indications of the purpose of the building. This entrance leads directly by a wide flight of stairs to a large corridor, 20 feet wide, '66 feet long, and 30 feet high, on the second floor, from which immediate access is. obtained on the east side to the Grand Lodge Room 84 by 90 feet, and 80 feet high, calculated to seat 1,000 persons comfortably, in addition to which a gallery across the west end of the room will accommodate 150 persons. The Throne M the Grand Master will be in a recess at the east end, with retiring and accommo- dation rooms conveniently located on each side. From this corridor is also reached, on the west side, the parlor of the Grand Master, the parlor and offlcesi of the Grand Secretary, the fireproof archive room and others. At the north end of the corridor is the stairway leading to the upper stories. The reception halls above are 20 feet wide, 68 feet long, and 22 feet high, from which entrance is gained on the east side to three tyler's rooms, connected by ante-rooms, with three Blue Lodge rooms, each 63 feet long. On the west side of the corridor is a large banqueting room, with steward's rooms adjoining. The stairway leads next to the fourth story, which is 22 feet high, and contains two Blue Lodge rooms, and one Boyal Arch Chamber room, the same size as those on the fioor below. The latter room will be arranged with certain novel and valuable con- veniences, and will be complete in every respect. The whole of the fifth story will be devoted to the use of the Knights Temp- lar, and it is believed this Commandery Hall will be the most complete ever constructed, and will greatly increase the effect of the imposing ceremonies of the order. The first story and all the halls, corridors, and stairways throughout is of the best fireproof construction, and a large elevator transverses the building from the first to the fifth stories, so that in case of accident the entire building can be emptied in five minutes. The ground cost $340,000, and the estimated cost of the building is over half a million. THE GRAND LODGE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK Meet annually in the City of New York on the first Tuesday in June.

PUBLIC LIBRARIES OF THE CITY OP NEW YORK. The Libraries of America, although not beginning to compare with the Libra- ries of Europe, as regards number of volumes or ancient works by eminent au- thors, yet still are assuming an Importance which makes them rank high as helps to knowledge, both ancient and modern. The two great Public Libraries of the city are the Astor Library, and the Lenox Library, Vaa latter just about ready to be thrown open to the public. These libraries combined will contain at an early date, about 300,000 volumes, compriaing works of great merit. The next library of importance is the MercarUiie Library, with its 160,000 volumes, open ta subscribers to the Institution; also, the Cooper Union Library and Reading Room, open free to the public. The Ifew York Society Library, the oldest In- stitution in the city, contains a large collection of valuable books in the different departments of knowledge; open for subscribers. The Young Men's Christian 1X0 NEW YOEK AS IT IB. Association Libraiy is a free Institution of great merit. The other City Libraries are for the most part devoted to some particular branch of Icnowledge, and open for the exclusive benefit of subscribers and their friends.^ There is great need •of another universal Public Library, to be centrally situated, and richly en- dowed, to contain all the works, ancient and modern, relating to American his- tory, together with all American publications, similar to the Congressional Li- brary at Washington.

This Library how contains 11,000 volumes, including many valuable works of reference, and thirty-one scientific journals or magazines, together with the leading journals. At the present time it is much neglected, owing in part to the "want of a full catalogue and a competent librarian. AMERICAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. Cooper Union. This Library contains 11,000 volumes and pamphlets, devoted mostly to Geographical and statistical knowledge, with numerous atlases, maps, charts, ;c. Open daily to members from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M. ASTOR LIBRARY, Lafayette Place, near Astor Place. Founded by the late John Jacob Astob, who granted $400,000 by will at the time of his death, in 1848. Since that period Wm. B. Astok has contributed upward of $350,000.* Open to the public from 9i A. M. to 5i P. M. The Lil)rary remains closed during one of the Summer months. The Astor Library Building is constructed in the Byzantine style of architecture, richly ornamented with brown-stone mouldings and an imposing entablature. The Library room is 100 feet in length by 64 In width, and 50 feet in height. According to the twenty-sixth annual report of the Astor Library, issued in 1875, the total number of volumes now in the Library is 150,306; 2,666 books haviiigbeen added during the past year. The number of readers appears to be increasing, the increase for 1874 being about one-fifth more than the number * Br his late will, Wu. B. Abtoii, deceased, haa further contribated the sum of $250,000 to the Astor Library, making altogether on amount of about $1,000,000. LIBEAEIES. Ill visiting the Library in 1873, The endowment fund of the Library now amounts to $773,330, it havm^ been increased from the original donation by contributions from tlie Astor family, and by investments from tlie original $400,000 by John Jacob Astor. In proportion to the whole number of books the Library contains a very large number of works of permanent value as books of reference, and as a consulting Library it is probably the best to bo found in America.

Incorporated January 20, 1870, by the Legislature of the State of New York. Sec. 1 provides for nine Trustees, and declared them to be a body corporate, by the name of the " Tnisteea of tlie Lenox Lilrai-y." Sec. 2. To receive from the said James Lenox, his collection of manuscripts, printed books, engravings and maps, statuary, paintings, drawings, and other works of art; also the sum of $300,000, to be used for the establishment of a Public Library in the City of New York, and such real estate as he may convey for a site for the same, in the 19th ward of the said city, in the vicinity of Cen- tral Park, which site, with its appurtenances, the said corporation is hereby empowered to take and hold in fee simple, for the purposes of the said Library. Since the above princely gift, and the announcement of the founding of the Library, several large donations have been offered and accepted by the trus- tees; also a second donation has been made by Mr. Lenox of $100,000, to be added to the building fund. By a late report it appears that " the library building is rapidly approaching completion, and will be ready to be occupied at an early day. The necessary appm'tenances, fittings and furniture, with all the details of administration and sei-vice of the library will soon be provided and settled ; and while a consider- able time will be required for the transfer and arrangement of the library and various collections, there will be no unnecessary delay in making them acces- sible to readers and students, and available to the public, in accordance with the design of the founder and tbe purposes of the institution. "The library edifice, which occupies a commanding site on Fifth avenue, between Seventieth and Seventy-first streets, is grand in mass though simple in construction, and admirably proportioned in the relation of parts to the whole. The disposition of the building is a centre virith two projecting wings — the object being to secure as much light as possible for the library rooms and galleries — an arrangement which has proved entirely successful. " The building is 103 feet in length parallel to the avenue, and 114 feet deep on each street, with an entrance court between the north and south wings 43 feet in depth from the front line, and 96 feet long. The main approach is from Fifth avenue through two massive gateways and the court, then up a wide flight of steps to the principal entrance door. The service entrances are in the rear of the building, and communicate with Seventieth and Seventy-first streets by a passage way which extends from street to street. " The library rooms in the south wing communicate directly by circular stairs of stone in the piers on both sides, and have been fitted with presses or book- cases of iron, the capacity of which for immediate use will accommodate not less than eighty thousand volumes. " The corresponding rooms in the north wing and galleries of the centre will be devoted to the arrangement for exhibition and use of those various collec- tions of rare and curious works, objects of art, &c., which require extended space and special protection against loss or injury. ' ' A more extended and ample description of the entire building and its appur- tenances, when completed, may be given in a future report, with illustrative plan and elevation."

The Mercantile Library, situated in Astor Place, formerly known as the As- ter Place Opera House, and now called Clinton Hall, was founded in 1820. The first meeting was called by Wm. Wood, Esq., by a notice posted at the Commercial Advertiser office, and dated Nov. 3d of that year, to be hold on the 9th at the Tontine CoHoc Room House to consider a plan for establishing a Li- brary and Reading Room. The call was addressed to the clerks of South street, JFront street, Pearl street and Maiden Lane. About two hundred persons attended this meeting and it resulted in the adop- tion of a constitution on the 27th, and the election of officers. The Library was opened in February, 1831, at No. 49 Fulton street, with 700 •volumes and 150 members. la 1826 the Library was removed to the building of Messrs. Harper & Bros, in Cliff street, at which time it contained 6,000 volumes. In 1828 a subscription was started among the merchants of New York to raise funds to erect a new building for the use of the Library. The new building was built on the corner of Beekman and Nassau streets, and was dedicated Nov. 2d, 1860, under the name of Clinton Hall. Twenty years later it was found that the collection of books had become too large for the space afforded by Clinton Hall, and it therefore became necessary to provide other quarters. After a long contest between two factions, one favoring removal up town and the other opposing it, the Astor Place Opera House was purchased and fitted up and the Lib ary removed into it in 1854. From this time its present prosperity began to date. It now contains 160,000 volumes, and in the nmnber of its books ranks as the fourth library in size in the United States. The reading room is furnished with over 450 newspapers and magazines. The executive force num- bers twenty odd clerks under the cliarge of the Librarian, Mr. W. T. Peoples. The Library is open from 8 A. M. to 9 P. M., and the total number of persons entitled to its use is over ten thousand. pijAoes of amusement. AcADEMT OF Mtjsic Fourteenth st. , cor. Irving place.

The success of the Saint Mary's Free Hospital for Children, which was opened ■five years ago by a few persons, -who quietly made themselves responsible for the rent and maintenance of a building, is now a fact beyond doubt. At the beginning, the Institution was placed, by those who agreed to maintain the ex- periment, under the supervision of Bishop Potter, while the hospital work was put in charge of the Sisters of Saint Mary. A removal to larger premises, at No. 407 West Thirty-fourth street, was found necessary three years ago, and during the last two years it has become evident that a laige and suitable building, with all the modern hospital conve- niences, has become a positive necessity. A movement is on foot for the pur- chase of the present house and the grounds adjacent, and on the lots east of the house it is proposed to build the new hospital. The cost of this ground and the house will be about $35,000, which sum it is proposed to raise by subscription, There is no distinction made on account of religious creeds in the admission of patients into the Institution, and as it is the only child's hospital of the kind in the countiy, it is hoped that all persons, irrespective of creed, will give it aid and sympathy. Contributions may be sent to and certificates received from the Hospital, No. 407 "West Thirty-fourth street, New York City. NEW YORK HOSPITAL. Office, No. 8 West Sixteenth street : {Libra/ry, Patliological Cabinet and Businem Office of tlie Hospital and Blooming- dale Asylum.) This institution was founded 1770; chartered by George III., July 13, 1771 ; corner-stone laid July 27, 1773. Patients first admitted, Jan. 3, 1701. The old building finally vacated February, 1870. The property heretofore known as the "Thorn Mansion," on West Sixteenth 154 NEW YOEK AS IT IS ' Street, has been purchased by " The Society of the New York Hospital," to- gether with the surrounding land, forming a plot 125x103 feet on Sixteenth street, and 75x103 feet on Fifteenth street, in the rear. Tlie above building will be used for the administration purposes of the Society, and will contain, in addition, its extensive Library and Pathological Cabinet. The Hospital will accommodate about 150 patients, or a larger number if more land adjoining can be purchased, in which it is intended to care for persons in- jured by accidents, or who may be taken suddenly ill in the streets in tbe west- erly and southerly districts of the City.

The object of this corporation is " the establishment, support, and manage- ment of an institution to be known as St. Luk^s Hospital, for the purpose of affording medical and surgical aid and nursing to sick or disabled persons, and also to provide them, while inmates of the Hospital, with the ministrations of the Gospel, agreeably to the doctrines and forms of the Protestant Episcopal Church. A further object of the Society is the instructing and training of suitable persons in the art of nursing and attending upon the sick." This noble institution was founded by the Rev. William A. Muhlenberg, D. D., in 1846, since which time, liberal donations have been contributed, spa- cious ground purchased, and a large edifice erected. The corner-stone of the building was laid in 1854, and finished in 1857, at a cost of upwards of |100,000. The Hospital is under the control of a Board of thirty-one Managers. The officers of the Society are a President, two Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer and a. Secretary. The professional staff consists of four attending and four consulting physicians. "Wm. a.

THE BATTERY, Formerly the most attractive spot on the Island, is situated at the southernmost terminus of the City, facing the harbor of New York ; connected with the Battery is Castle Garden. BOWLING GREEN. Near the Battery, at the entrance to Broadway, is the small enclosure so- called from having been used as such prior to the Revolution. Here stood, at the commencement of the Revolutionary struggle; the leaden statue of George- III., which was pulled down and melted into bullets, to be used by the- Americans. CITY HALL PARK, Is an enclosure of about ten acres, containing the City Hall, Court House, and other public buildings, also the new United States Post OflBce, which is one of the finest buildings in America. A new fountain, which is very elaborate in, appearance, has recently been erected in this Park. WASHINGTON SQUARE, Was formed by laying out the ground formerly occupied as a Potter's Field. On the east side is the University Building. South Fifth Avenue now bisects^ this Park. UNION SQUARE,, Facing Broadway on the south and west, extends from Fourteenth to Seven- teenth streets, and from Fourth avenue to University place. At the south side- is the bronze equestrian statue of Washington, and opposite, on Broadway side,, stands the statue of Abraham Lincoln. 6RAMERCY PARK, Situated a little to the northeast of the above, is a select and beautiful enclosure- on a smaller scale. This Park is private property, having been ceded to the; owners of the surrounding lots by Samuel B. Ruggles, Esq. 156 NEW TOEK AS IT IS. STUTVESANT PARK ^Extends from Fifteenth to Seventeenth street, and is divided by the intersecting passage of the Second avenue. The Rev. Dr. Tyng's Church is upon the west .■side of this Park. The ground was presented by the late Peter G. Stuyvesant, JEsq., to the corporation of this Church. TOMPKINS SQUARE, 'Ten and one-half acres in extent, occupying the area formed by Avenues A and J3, and Seventh and Tenth streets, is now used as a parade ground, but orders have been issued to place it in its former condition as a park. MADISON SQUARE, Comprising ten acres, is at the junction of Broadway and Fifth Avenue. On the west side stands the monument of General Worth. Facing the square stands the Fifth Avenue Hotel. . RESERVOIR PARK. Reservoir Square is located between the Fifth and Sixth avenues, and For- tieth and Forty-second streets, and has an extent of between nine and ten acres, upon one-half of which is the Distributing Reservoir. The other, or western half, once had upon it tlie New York Crystal Pdlaee, but since the destruction •of that building by the fire of 1858, the grounds have been kept open as a park. MT. MORRIS SQUARE. Mt. Morris Square presents the anomalous appearance of an abrupt hill, with thickly-wooded sides, rising from the midst of a plain that has no other hills npon it. It "heads oflE" the Fifth avenue at One-hundred-and-twentieth street, and extends as far north as One-hundred-and-twenty-fourth street, and its area is over twenty acres. This is a favorite resort for the citizens of Harlem and its vicinity. RIVERSIDE PARK, Situated on the bank of the noble Hudson, between Seventy-second and One- hundred-and-twenty-ninth streets, is a long narrow strip of land, almost entirely on the river slope, comprising some eighty-two acres, and at present possessing no other than natural beauties. When finished as proposed, it will, jio doubt, be the noblest park in the world of its extent. MORNINGSIDE PARK Is another grand contemplated improvement, being a newly laid out piece of ^ound forming the area between Eighth and Tenth avenues and One-hundred- and-tenth to One-hundred-and-twenty-third streets. The land here is so ex- •cessively irregular that it could not have been, under any circumstances, adapted to building purposes. PAEKS. 15T Under the control of the present Commissioners, all of the above-named parks have lately undergone a marked improvement. Many of them, morff especially the Battery Grounds, were a disgrace to the city, but they are now being fast transformed into miniature paradises ; all have been entirely re- modeled, and in some the changes have been so radical that they would not be recognized as the old spots by persons who have been absent from the city for the past five years ; Union Square, Washington Sguwre and the Battery Grounds are notable instances of the entire and complete changes that have been efEected; the most promineut of these is the removal of the iron railings and fences, and the placing of numerous lights along the paths, making all portions of the ground as visible as in the day time. Let these contemplated improvements be finished as proposed, then ISfew York, including the attractions of Central Park, will be a most splendid metropolis, equal to any city in the world as. regards ornament and commercial advantages. CENTRAL PARK, The largest of all our parks, was laid out in 1857. It is two and one-half miles: long, three-flfths of a mile widie, and contains 843 acres. It has cost over $12,000,000, and is now maintained at an annual expense of about $250,000. It has twelve entrances, contains five and a-half miles of bridle path, nine and a-half of carriage roads, and twenty-eight miles of walks. The old Arsenal, at the southeast entrance, is a three-story stone structure, filled with the collections of the society of "American Museum of Natural History." Outside of tliis structure are large cages, with bears, eagles, serpents, and many other varieties- of animals. The lakes and fountains in the Park are exquisitely beautiful. The old Croton^ Meservoir covers 35i acres, and new Oroton Reservoir 106^ acres, elevated 115 feet above tide- water. In the northern section stands the old convent, the chapel of which is now a gallery of art, containing the finest collection of statuary m the country. Near this are also the Nursery grounds, covering two and a-half acres. A la,rge Zoological Garden is constructed, with underground accommodations for bears, seals, the walrus, beaver, &c. The Park contains the best Meteorological Observatory in America; also a fine Astronomical Observatory. There is also a Paleozoic Museum, containing life- size representations of most of the animals believed to have existed in America during the secondary and post-tertiary geological periods. The Park, exclusive of the water areas, contains 707^ acres, the total area being 843 acres ; as a whole it is a museum of genius and curiosity, presenting everywhere the choicest, aspects of nature and art. 158 NEW YOKE AS IT IS. ^o wagons or carts are allowed on its drives, but by an ingenious device four streets cross it from Fifth to Eighth avenues, under the Parle roads; these streets -are C5th, 79th, 85th, and 97th. The Second, Third, and Fourth avenue cars convey passengers to 65th street, lon the east side of tlie city, and Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth avenue cars convey passengers on the west side of the city ; also, the Elevated Railroad, running through Greenwich street and Ninth avenue.

This important question, which has agitated property owners for the past tifteeu years, has not yet been fully solved, or the routes established, in full. There are now two chartered companies organized, by acts of the Legislature of the State of New York, with sufficient powers to build parallel lines of Elevated Railways from the Battery and City Hall Park to Harlem River, terminating at different points, and running through different Avenues. The New York Elevated Railkoad Company has completed their line ftetween the Battery and Fifty-ninth street, running through Greenwich street EA.PID TRANSIT EOUTES — GAS-LIGHT COMPANIES. 173 and Ninth avenue to opposite the Southern end of Central Park, a distance of about five miles — Time Table F— Progress in Ba^ Transit. — The New York Elevated Kailroad Company has completed its line to Fifty-ninth street, and begun running regular trains between Central Park and the Battery, according toa new time-table. The first train from the Battery will leave at 6 A. M., and will run through to Fifty-ninth street in thirty-four minutes. The second train will leave at 7 o'clock, and will make the trip in thirty-one minutes. After 7 o'clock the trains will be run with short intervals, the last one leaving the Bat- tery at 7 :07 P. M. From Fifty-ninth street, the first train will start at 6 :18 A. M. , and the last one at 7:40 P. M. There will be forty through trains each way during the day. The company will also run Sunday trains between 7:35 A. M., and 0:49 P. M., with the same frequency as on week days. GILBERT ELEVATED RAILROAD COMPANY. The Gilbert Elevated Railroad Company has not yet begun laying its track, but the announcement is authorized that the company expects to build the west side division and have it in running order from the Bowling Green to Central Park by Aug. 1,1876. The company is preparing drawings for the iron com- panies, and calculating in detail the amount of different kinds of iron that will be required in the construction of the railroad. When these drawings and calcu- lations are completed, they will be open to the inspection of the iron companies, all of which will be invited to send in bids for the building of the road. It is contemplated by this company to build two or three parallel lines of rail- road, through different avenues, connecting with steam ferries running to Long Island ; also, with the Grand Central Railroad Depot and Central Park. The line will start from the Battery, and City Hall Park and run north to Chat- ham square, from thence through Second and Third avenues to Harlem River, a distant of about eight miles. There will be a branch road connecting with the Brooklyn Bridge, and with Twenty-third Street Ferry, running to Green Point, connecting with Railways on Long Island. Another line is contemplated to run from the Battery, through New Church street. West Broadway and Sixth avenue to Central Park, a distance of- about five miles. GAS-LIGHT COMPANIES.

Thi3 Canal Company, now controlling two or three railroads, was chartered Tby the States of New York and Pennsylvania, and is too important in connection with internal trade not to be noticed. The work was commenced in 1827, and finished in 1829, extending from the Hudson River, at Rondout, up the valley of the Rondout Creek, in Ullster County ; then across parts of Orange and Sullivan counties, to the Delaware River, crossing the stream and extending to Hornesdale, Penn., 108 miles. The canal was constructed by the company, at an original cost of $6,156,000, and the company is extensively engaged in mining and bringing to the New York market Lackawanna coal, constantly employing a large number of boats, barges and men. In 1870 this company leased the Albany and StLsguehanna Jiailroad, and in 1871 leased the Benasdaer and Saratoga Railroad, with its branches. It is now •engaged in constructing a road from Wliitehall, N. Y., on the west side of Lake Champlaln, which, when completed, will give this company between 600 and 700 miles of railway. In addition to this, they have 186 miles of iron railway in .their mines in Pennsylvania. OFFICERS: Thos. Dickson, President, Scranton, Penn. James C. Harit, Treasurer, New York. Geouge L.

The leading passenger transportation company in this country, if not in the world, is probably the " Union Ferry Company," which controls the ferries con- necting New York City and Brooklyn. This corporation runs four separate ferries between tliose cities, and has sixteen large boats, of which thirteen nin by day and six all night. Tliey carry on an average one hundred and twenty- live thousand foot-passengers every day, and about forty-flve millions a year, and have been extraordinarily successful in carrying this vast number without accident.

BILLS OF EXCHANGE. By the term Exchange is meant the manner in wliich accounts are adjusted when the debtor or creditor reside in different localities or countries, and where the coin or money is not actually used. The rule by which we find the amount of money to be placed to one's credit in one place in return for a given amount in another is also called Exchange. Bills of Exchange are notes representing a certain sum of money purchased by those who wish to cover an indebtedness from those who are in possession of funds in the place where the former is a debtor. If a merchant wishes to pay for commodities purchased in London or Paris, without actually sending over the coin, he purchases a "Bill of Exchange" at the "rate of the day," the price of bills fluctuating according to the supply and demand, in the same manner as an article of commerce or of merchandise.

Reservef Note. — Of the above thirty-eix Life Insurance Companies about one-half have been obliged to relinquish business during the past few years. The gross assets of the solvent Life Insurance Companies at the close of the year 1874, doing business in the State of New York, amounted to |387,381,896, an increase of $37,141,313 over the amount reported for 1873 ; of which fiomff companies possess $195,336,920, other State companies $191,944,975, showing- a great accumulation of assets — the practical working of the system seeming to be to amass an immense amount of capital or wealth drawn from the insured. Life Insurance Oompanlea are of recent origin, yet still for a series of years they rapidly increased in numbers. Commencing in 1842 we find four compa- nies organized in the city in 1850 and ten in 1860 — these for the most part form, the great companies of the present time. In 1870 the number rose io forty in the State of New York, and have since decreased, now (1875) numbering twen- ty-two in the State at large. § The gross assets, in 1860, were $13,745,559,83 ; in 1865, $33,330,840 ; in 1870, $133,119,187.48 ; in 1874, $195,336,920.95— showing a rapid increase of asset* that are truly alarming. At this rate, if the system is continued, in a few de- cades the accumulation will be enormous. (a) This company has a flzed capital, and offers a new plan of insurance, which renders iarga accumulation of assets unnecessary. •Receiver appointed. tBe-insured In other companies. ^Closed up. JThe total assets of the Life Insurance Companies of this State, amount to nearly $800,000,000 ; the amount insured by them to $1,000,000,000, and their annual receipts to more than $60,000,000. The magnitude of these sums, and the duration and fiduciary character of the engagements of these corporations, mal:e it specially important that the interests of the poUcy-holders should. be guarded with jealous care.— /n««mncc Department Seport, 1875. 220 NEW YOEK AS IT 18.

OREENWOOD, the oldest and most noted of all the New York cemeteries, is situated on Gowanus Heights, Brooklyn, and about two and one half miles from South Ferry, and contains 413 acres of land, purchased of over 60 different owners. The surface has been graded at immense expense ; the entrance ways are marked with rich adornments, and the whole grounds are encircled with an iron fence. It contains 17 miles of carriage roads, and 15 miles of foot-paths, most of which, covered with concrete, are always free from dust, mud, and 244 NEW TOKK AS IT IS. weeds. The grounds are adorned with finely-wrought vaults, and with over 2,000 monuments, some of which have cost large fortunes. The monuments of Charlotte Canda, De Witt Clinton, D. H. Lewis, and Col. Vosburgh are among the most imposing. About 185,000 interments have been made in these grounds, and the annual income from the sale of lots exceeds $300,000. CvpiiESS Hill is situated on Long Island, north of the Brooklyn and Jamaica turnpike, is partly in Kings and partly in Queens Counties, and about five mUes from the ferry near Peck Slip. The grounds comprise about 400 acres, con- taining large natural forests. The views from the elevations in this cemetery are very extensive. Brooklyn, New York, Jersey City, and the Palisades, to the west and north are spread out with panoramic grandeur ; while to the south, as far as the eye can extend, roll the blue waves of the Atlantic, bounded by the horizon. Over 100,000 interments have been made here since 1848, includ- ing the remains of 4,060 soldiers of the late war. The Cemetery op the Evbbqkebns is situated three miles east of Willims- burgh. It is a large and beautiful plot, with variegated surface and scenery. Calvary was laid out in August, 1848, at Newtown, Long Island, and con- tains 75 acres. It is the consecrated burial-ground of Boman Catholics, 300,00ft bodies having already been interred here. STREST RAUiROASS IN BROOELYN. Brooklyn City Bailroad Company.

I. Extract from the Beport of the Board of Trustees of the NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN BRrDGE COMPANY— 1876. THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE OP THE COST OF THE BRIDGE. The first estimate was made in 1867, by the late John A. Roebling, Esq., its •designer and first engineer, for a structure 80 feet wide and 130 feet above high water, exclusive of the land, as follows : Suspended superstructure $3,787,972 Anchorage, including excavation, plates and chains 795,434 foundation of Brooklyn tower - 855,400 foundation of New York tower- Pile foundation - - $399,087 00 Brick foundation - 737,294 32 The latter was adopted -- - 727,394 Two towers - --- , -- 1,409,820 Approaches - -- - 742,516 lilngines and machinery - 40,000 Toll-houses and gateways - 20,000 246 NEW YOEK AS IT IB. lEngineering . 1 50,000" Contingencies. 299,781 To the foregoing sums, amounting to $7,338,207 32, was added eight per cent, for additional width to 85 feet, and height to 135 feet, as required for the latter, before commencing the bridge, by the Sec- retary of War, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1869 586,250' Total for structure --- $7,914,457 estimate: fob iiand. For land in New York then yet to be taken $3,401,978 00' For land in Brooklyn 530,394 00 Making in both cities $2,922,373 00 There had been taken previously land not embraced in the forego- ing amount, costing 735,478 83. Making the total estimate of land required for the purpose of the bridge., i $3,657,850 83: Which sum, added to $7,914,457 for the structure, made the entire cost of the bridge as first estimated ..11,572,287 OO EXPENDirURES. The total expenditures, January 1, 1876, were... $5,954,910 0* Amount still wanted to complete the structure, &c 7,217,030 OOt WHOLE COST OP THE BKIDQE AS NOW ESTIMATED. Amount already expended $5,954,910 OO Existing liabilities for materials delivered and charges, as per schedule B 92,913 00' Total - 6,047,823 00 Less cash and materials on hand 145,278 00 Whole amount expended $5,902,545 0* To be expended as above 7,217,030 00 Total $13,119,575 00 "In conclusion, I may add that if the means be promptly furnished the bridge' can be entirely finished and open for public travel, and begin to be remunerative; in the Summer or Fall of 1879. True economy, in the prosecution of the work,, is to push it forward, with all the speed that a due regard to its proper construc- tion will permit It will open a new thorouglif are for half a million- of people loi the centre of business and intelligence in this great Metropolis of the nation — where it is already fixed by the erection of public buildings, bothi national and municipal, and by grand edifices devoted by private enterprise toi financial, tele- graphic and journalistic purposes. ■ It will practically unite the two cities, and. contribute to the convenience, comfort and safety of that portioni of the commu- nity which will use it in their daily avocations, and be a worthy monument of the foresight as well as the greatness of New York. If made perfectly free for AVENUES AND BTEEETS IN BEOOKLTN. 24:7 travel it will yet be Belf -sustaining, and ■without expense in the future for its maintenance, by receipts of the railway, which will carry over it, for a trifling charge, such as may be disposed to avail themselves of it ; while the entire cost to the City of New York will not, in any possible contingency, including all the " vast sums " already contributed, amount to $5,000,000. Respectfully submitted, HENRY C. MURPHY. President Board of Trustees." THE BLACKWELIi'S ISLAND BRIDGE. The Bridge wliich it is proposed to lay across the East River at Blackwell's Island will be commenced early in the Spring, (1876,) and the calculation is that it will be completed in the course of two years. Its New York end will be at Third Avenue and Seventy-seventh Street. It will be carried from this point to the East River, a distance of 3,000 feet ; thence across the River to the Island, 700 feet, which will be its largest span. It will then pass across the Island and over the River to the Long Island side. This latter span will be nearly 600 feet. On this side the approach will begin on Astoria Heights. Its entire length will be a mile and three-quarters. The Bridge will be of iron and of the truss order; and in consequence of the heights of the span above high water, a draw will be unnecessary.

Y., is situated on the East River and Long Island Sound, opposite the upper part of the City of New York. It was incorporated in 1870, and is divided into five wards, including Astoria, Ravenswood and Hunter's; Point. Population about 14,000. The streets and avenues are being handsome- ly laid out, most of them running at right angles. A street railroad runs f romi Astoria through Vernon Avenue to Hunter's Point, and connects with the Williamsburgh railroads, the Long Island Bailroctd and the New York and Flushing Saikoad both run from Hunter's Point, connecting with steam ferry boats crossing the East River to New York. A bridge will soon be completed, to extend from New York to Blackwell's- Island, and thence to Long Island City, at Ravenswood. When completed the distance from the City Hall tc the centre of Long Island City will not exceed, six miles, thus placing this favored place of residence in easy communicatioa with the City of New York. AsTOKiA, lying opposite New York, being connected by a steam ferry to 92d.' Street, has long been the abode of many New York merchants, and contains fine' residences along the shore, commanding fine views across Hell Gate and up the East River. At this place (Hallett's Point), the United States Government Works are sit- uated, and soon the dreaded rocks will all be removed, making the ac- cess to and from the ocean through the Sound easier and shorter than through the " Narrows." Two lines of fast steamers run from Pulton Perry and Peck Slip for Harlem and Morrisania, stopping at Astoria. Ravenswood, opposite Blackwell's Island, is a continuous line of private- residences, from Hallett's Cove to Hunter's Point, along the shore between Vernon Avenue and the East River. Hunter's Point, closely connected with the City of New York by steaoL ferries, is the centre of all the Railroads of Long Island, and is fast growing to be a place of importance. Its streets are being graded, sewered, paved and curbed. It is the great mart for petroleum and its products. HISTORICAL EVENTS OP THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. No portion of the Union witnessed more stirring and unfortunate events than those enacted on Long Island near Brooklyn. On tlie 22d of August, 1776, the British Army, under Lord Howe, landed on Long Island, near the present site of Fort Hamilton, and marched direct towards Flatbusli, near where is now located Prospect Park. Here was stationed the American Army under General Wash- ington, consisting of about 10,000 men, most of whom were undisciplined and illy prepared with arms for defence. LONG ISLAND 8TJBUEBS. 263 On the 27th of August a severe battle was fought in which the Americans were defeated with great loss of life. New York was soon after occupied by the British, and Washington retreated to Harlem Heights, near the upper end of the island, where several skirmishes ensued, ending in the capture of Fort "Washing- ton with about 2,000 prisoners. Then followed the inhuman incarceration of the American prisoners in the "Sugar House," and other places in the City of New York ; also, on board prison ships, lying in Wallabout Bay, Brooklyn. The following is a brief history of these floating dungeons and the sufferings of the prisoners. "During the Revolution the British had stationed at the Wallabout, Long Island, nearly opposite the City of New York, a number of prison ships, on board of which it was the fate of Americans who were prisoners of war to be placed. " The principal of these were the 'Jersey,' the 'John," the 'Scorpion," the 'Strumbolo,' and the 'Hunter.' From these the remains of the prisoners who died were removed from time to time, and deposited on the adjacent shores of the Wallabout to the number of about 12,000. The remains of these unfortunate patriots were thrown into shallow pits, with scarcely covering enough to protect them from the elements." The remains of most of them have within a few years been removed and deposited in a tomb at Fort Greene, Brooklyn. LONG ISLAND SUBURBS. Long Island, a strip of land averaging 15 miles in width and over 100 in length, containing 1,682 square miles, is washed on its northern shore by the billows of the Long Island Sound, and on its southern by those of the Atlantic Ocean. Here arc to be found numerous sea-bathing resorts and inlets, abounding in many kinds of fish and sea-fowl in abundance. Most parts of the Island aro reached by railroad or steamer. Coney Island is the nearest popular resort for sea-bathing and a fair sniff of the Atlantic to the masses of New York, and is thronged for seven months of the year. It is reached by horse-car from Brooklyn ferry, or by steamer from New York. Fort Hamilton is situated on a commanding bluU at the Narrows, and near by are Bath and Bay Ridge, with fine residences, either of which are reached by the Fort Hamilton line of cars. Still further east are Rockaway and Far Rockaway. The latter has several lar^e hotels, ailords a fine ocean sail from New York, and has the finest surf -bathmg in the world. Jamaica is an old town with fine residences, 10 miles from New York, reached by railroad. Jamaica Bay, a few miles south, is a large body of water. Hempstbad is a populous old village with fine churches and schools. Near by are the plains recently purchased by Alex. T. Stewart, on which he is building a town, called Garden City. A railroad is being built to this locality from B^ Ridge. FLUBHiNa is a charming town, situated on Flushing Bay, and may be reached by car from Hunter's Point, or by steamer from Peck Slip. It contains about 15,000 inhabitants. Bay Side, four miles from Flushing, is noted for rich scenery, and famous for its clam bakes and chowder in primitive style. College Point and Whitestonb, situated on Long Island Sound, are de- lightful places of resort. RosLYN, at the head of Hempstead Harbor, is a thriving village, with natural scenery of rugged beauty. The place contains an eminence 319 feet high. In this village the first paper-mill in the State was erected. Several literary charac- ters of note reside here. 264: NEW YOKE AS IT 13. MARATIME DEFENSES FOR THE PROTECTION OF NEW YORK BAY AND HARBOR. On entering the Lower Bay of New York from the ocean, and approaching Bandy Hook, the immense Government works are Been, which are being con- structed on a scale for strength and durability that will surpass any fortress on the Atlantic coast. Next are passed Port Lafayette and Fort Hamilton, the latter being situated on the west end of Long Island. Opposite these, on Staten Island, are Fort Richmond and Fort Tompkins — adjoining these are several strong water batteries ; these, with Fort Hamilton, command the approaches to the "Narrows," here about one mile wide. The Upper Bay contains several Islands well adapted for fortifications. Gotbknor's Island, about two-thirds of a mile from the Battery or Castle Garden, is the largest ; it contains 72 acres, where is stationed a military garrison. Here are located Fort Columbus, a large star-shaped fortification, and Castle Willam, a three-story round tower, 60 feet high, and 600 feet in circumference, and mounts over 100 heavy guns. Bkdiow's Island, lying west of Governor's Island, is occupied by Fort Wood, another strong fortification. It can mount 80 guns, and garrison 350 men . Ellis' Island, near by, is owned by the United States Government, where stands Fort Gibson. The above six points, on which are fortifications, command the approaches to New York through the Lower and Upper Bays from the Atlantic Ocean. The Brooklyn Navy Yard could also afford a floating battery sufScient to repel any foreign foe. Fort ScinjYLEK, situated on Throgg's Neck, at the entrance of the East Biver into Long Island Bound, is a strong fortification, built of granite and earth- works, and mounts over 300 gnns. This, and the fortress at Willett's Point, opposite, serve as a defence from an attack on the city through the Bound. Here are located the principal Engineer Depot and Torpedo School of the United States Army. It is also a place of deposit for surplus government stores, which have accumulated in large quantities since the late war. At Hallett's Point, near Hell Gate, the Government has been for several years making excavations and blasting roqk, with the view of removing the Hell Gate obstructions — ^thus affording a safe approach to New York harbor through Long Island Sound and the East River for ships and steamers of large size — thereby greatly increasing the commercial advantages of the Port of New York. As a Military and Naval Station, New York exceeds any other place on the Atlantic Coast, and in case of a foreign war, could be rendered impregnable. NEW YORK FROM GOATSRNOR'S ISLAND.

EXCURSIONS DOWN THE BAY TO CONEY ISLAND, &o. Coney Island was for many years tne leading sea-side resort. It is still patronized by crowds that indulge in its most excellent surf-bathing. It is reached by steamboat or by the Brook- lyn horse-cars that pass Greenwood Cemetery. RocKAWAT, on the South Shore of Long Island, is growing rapidly as a fashionable resort, and is reached by steamboat or steam-car. The most charming of all is a trip of twenty-four miles to Long Bbanch, a sail of one hour by steamboat to Sandy Hook, thence by steam-car twenty min- utes to the famous watering-place and Summer capital of the Metropolis. Many wealthy persons here have fine residences. As you journey you pass the Battery, Castle Garden, Governor's Island, Fort Lafayette, Fort Hamilton, and Sandy Hook Lighthouse to the left, and Staten Island, Fort Wadsworth, Quarantine, and Navesink Light-house to the right. After a surf -bath and a promenade among the elite, inhaling the sea breezes, you arc fully prepared to do justice to the viands furnished by any of the numerous first-class hotels that line the bluff for nearly two miles. Of late years. Long Branch has become the semi-capital of the nation, the Pres- ident of the United States making this his Summer residence. CITIES AND TILLAGES. 271 New York Harboii ob Bat.— A fine view of the Harbor and Baj may be obtained by a round trip on a Staten Is- land Ferry-boat, occupying about an hour. A more extended trip, passing Bergen Point tlirough tlie Kills and Newark Bay, is furnished by steamer running to Newark. Ketpokt, noted for its oysters and fishing. Highlands for its large hotels and commanding view, and Red Bank in its quiet beauty on the Navesink River, are places of interest easily reached by steamboat. _ During the Summer the daily excur- sions to the Fishing Banks (see adver- tisements ^n the New York morning papers) are very popular, in which you pass out on to the broad expanse of the Ocean, ten or twenty miles from the New Jersey shore, and it often happens that the beneficial effects of sea-sick- ness is experienced. STATEN ISLAND SUBURBS. Staten Island, an oval-shaped tract of land 14 miles long and 8 miles broad, containing 68i square miles, is situated from 6 to 20 milqs southwest of New York city, arid is waslied on all sides by salt water, being surrounded by New York Bay, Raritan Bay and Staten Island Sound. The adjacent waters of the bays abound with oysters and fish, tlie trade of which afford the staple occupation of thousands dwel- ling on the island. A ferry boat runs hourly from the foot of "Whitehall street to the three principal points, the first of which is the Quarantine Landing, so called because formerly the location of the New York quarantine buildings. It is a charming location for private re- sidences. Edgkwater (Stapleton). This is a mile or two further down, and is the largest village on the island, containing some manufactories and a shot tower. Around its suburbs are many beautiful residences overlooking the Nevv York Bay. The " Seamen's Fund and Re- treat," established by the Legislature, and a building for indigent mothers, widows and children oi seamen, are situated on very sightly locations here, and will well repay a visit. Vandebbilt's Landing, just below the former, is the point of connection between the ferry of the Staten Island Railroad, which runs to Tottenville. Still further down are the United States fortifications, Richmond and Tomp- kins. Richmond, the county-seat, stands in a rich agricultural district, and is reached by stage. North Shore.

Elm Park is reached also by the North Shore FeiTy after a sail of an hour. 272 NEW TOEK AB IT IS. WESTCHESTER SUBURBS. Westchebteb is, and must ever con- tinue, one of the most celebrated coun- ties of the Empire State, much of it being historic ground, where were enacted many of the important events of the Revolutionary War. Its prox- imity to the Metropolis, the beauty of its scenery bordering on Long Island Sound — skirted its entire length by the finest river in the world and threaded by railroads, its surface dotted with towns and palatial residences, rendering it one of the most desirable and pictur- esque sections of the Empire State. The Wew Haven JSailroad runs across the southern portion of the county, and has several charming villages on its line, among which are I^(e, New Ro- chelle, Mamaroneck, and Port Chester. The Harlem JSailroad runs about mid- way and diagonally through the county, and has fine villages all along the route. The principal ones are Mount Vernon, Tuckahoe and White Plains. The 2fev> York, Boston and Montreal Hail- road runs midway between the Har- lem and Hudson River R. R. , and crosses Croton Lake. But the chief attractions of Westchester are spread along the bank of the Hudson River, where nearly every eminence is surmounted by a paradise of beauty and fragrance. A strip of country one mile wide, stretching from Spuyten Duyvel to Sing Sing, contains more of taste, cul- ture and wealth than any rural district of its size on the continent. The Hudson River BaUroad runs along the western part of the county, within sight of the noble Hudson, pass- ing Yonkers, Dobb's Perry, Irvington, Tarrytown, Sing Sing, Croton and Peekskill, where it enters the "High- lands," passing West Point, situated on the opposite side of the river. Excursions on the East River and Long Island Sound. The steamboat excursion to Flushing and other landings on the Long Island shore are delightful during warm weath- er. On leaving the steamboat land- ing on the East River, near Pulton Fer- ry, you at once feel the invigorating breeze — passing the United States Navy Yard, situated on Wallabout Bay, where may usually be seen vessels of war of a large class, moored near the Brooklyn shore. As the steamer rounds Corlear's Hook, a fine view is obtained of the Ship Yards on the New York shore. WiUiamsburgli, Hunter's Point, and Long Island Gity are passed on the right. ' Blaekwell's Island, lying in the East River, is attached and belongs to the City of New York ; here are situated the Penitentiary, the Almshouse and the Lunatic Asylum, all of which are usually thronged with inmates. Astoria, 6 miles from the City of New York, forming part of Long Is- land City, is pleasantly situated on Edst River, being connected with the City Iw a steam ferry, called the Hell Gate Ferry. On the north may be seen the village of Harlem, and the mouth of Harlem River. Hell-Gate, sometimes called Hurl- Gate, is a narrow and dangerous strait in the East River, 7 miles above New York. Soon the channel widens and a beautiful stretch of the East River is Two small islands called Tlie Brothers are next passed, and then Biker's Island, lying at the mouth of Flushing Bay. FIiUSHING, 13 miles, is a large and flourishing town containing upwards of 15,000 inhabitants. Here are several good hotels and boarding-houses ; also. 274 NEW TOEK AS IT IS. 70NKER9, 16 miles, is a new and growing city on the banks of the Hud- son. It contains 20,000 inhabitants, with costly churches and fine residences. Here all the enjojments of city and country life can be indulged in by the fashionable portion of the community. Hastings and Dobb's "Ferry lie on the Westchester shore, while opposite is Piermtmt and Nydek, in Rockland County. Iroington, Tarrytown, Sirig Sing and PeeksMU, are all passed before coming to the " Highlands." West Point, 52 miles, with its Na- tional Academy, is a place of fashion- able resort, where is a well-kept hotel. Here the scenery is truly grand and magnificent. During the season of navigation on the Hudson, which usually extends from the middle of March to the mid- dle of December, numerous steamboats leave the city of New York every morn- ing and evening for various places on both shores of the river, connecting with railroad lines of travel. Steamers of the largest class, nowhere excelled for speed or comfort, run through to Albany and Trot, about 150 miles, in ten or twelve hours run- ning time ; others touch at the princi- pal cities and villages on the way, to land and receive passengers. Usual through fare, $2, including berths in the night boats ; berths in state room, $1.10 extra. By far the most interesting portion of this noble river is embraced in the trip to West Point and Newburgh, 60 miles distant, passing the Palisades — Tappan and Haverstraw bays — the "Highlands," and entering the bay of Newburgh, here presenting to the be- holder a most interesting and grand view of river and mountain scenery, being deeply connected with stirring events of the war of the Revolution. The IFudson Biter JlaHroad, extend- ing to Albany, 145 miles, runs along the east bank of the river, passing through all the villages and landings, affording the most speedy means of conveyance to Peekskill, West Point and Fishkill, situated opposite Newburgh, with which it is connected by a steam ferry, thus presenting two modes of convey- ance to the tourist. The Qbaotj Centkal Railroad Depot, comer Fourth Avenue and Ibrty- aeamd Street, is the terminus of the Hudson River Bailroad, New York and Har- lem Bailroad and the New York and New Haven Bailroad, all being important lines of travel running east, north and west, connecting with other railroads running in almost every direction through the New England States, Canada and the Western States, connecting with steamers running on the St. Law- rence River and the Great Lakes of America. CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY OP THE Principal Mercantile Honses MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS, IMPORTERS, AGENTS, &c., Engaged in Business in the City of 'New. York, ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED. This List is unavoidably incomplete, as many Firms were not called on, and others declined having their . names inserted on the terms proposed. 1876. INTELLIGENCE, HONESTY AND WEALTH. Whilb engaged in the arduous duty of compiling " New York as It Was and as It Is," it has been made apparent that there is suflBcient Intelligence, Hon- esty and Wealth in the community, if rightly applied, to correct all the great evils under which the Metropolis of the Empire State is laboring at the present time. The community may be said to be divided into four separate classes, standing aloof from each other in social life — the wealthy, the middle class, the indus- trious laboring poor, and the intemperate and ignorant poor — all being equally privileged as regards citizenship. The unprincipled wealthy portion, of all parties, who, when in power, rob the public, and the degraded poor are the two portions of the community to be feared. They are usually found to work together for party objects, one supply- ing the capital for election purposes and the other the votes, in order to secure power. Such at the present time is the working of our republican institutions, as exists in Municipal, State and National affairs, the honest portion of the community being deprived of their rights and voice in government by being thus overruled. The only remedy left is the combination of the people in one party, consisting of the wealthy, the middle class and the intelligent laborer, uniting for self-de- fence, irrespective of nationality, as an independent party throughout the Union, and endeavor at once to stop the tendency toward corrupt legislation and robbery. In order to perpetuate this system it will be necessary to introduce a " Civil Service Reform ;" also liave City, State and National officers elected for longer periods than at present — say for two, four or aiayea/rs — incumbents being subject to removal from office for misdemeanors. Adopt this plan, and our political evils, which are a disgrace to the nation, would iu a great measure be prevented — ^punishing all def atilters who are office-holders by sending them to a penal colony, to be established by the National Government. Hepubliean Institutions can only be perpetuated by Imtblligbnce and Honesty. Classified Business Directory, ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY. Agencies, Commercial and ITIer- cantlle. Bradstbbet, J.
