XOURAGED by the public favour bestowed on our dtteinpt to furnish a convenient manual for citizens strangers, we offer the second annual volume of w-YoRK AS IT IS," with improvements and addi- -o, which, we trust, will make it equally acceptable with the one for 1833. Great care and labour have been required to record the numerous changes and alterations which are constantly taking place in the varied concerns of this great metropolis ; and the general correctness of this manual may, it is believed, be relied on. Further improvements and additions may be expected in future numbers, should the patronage of the public be con- tinued. Much expense is necessarily incurred in the prepa- ration of this little volume ; and to remunerate the publisher, a sale of the whole edition, (which is quite moderate,) is requisite. We, however, have so much confidence, that citizens as well as strangers will duly appreciate the convenience of this Panoramic and Statistical View of the City, that we anticipate an in- creased support to tiiis volume. With these preliminary remarks, and with our thanks to friends and correspondents for their favours, we sub- mit to the pubjic, " New-York as it is, jn 1834.'' BANKS irVCORPORATJEI) IN 1834.

The City of New-York, the commercial emporium of the United States, is situated on New-York Island, (for- merly called Manhattan Island,) at the confluence of the Hudson or North River, with the strait called the East River, which connects Long Island Sound with the At- lantic Ocean. It is about equi-distant (or less than twenty miles) from the western extremity of Long Island Sound on the north-east, and the Atlantic Ocean on the south. The City Hall is in Latitude 40", 42', 40", north, and longitude 74°, 1', 8", west, from Greenwich. The City and County are of the same limits, comprising the whole island, which extends from the Battery on the south, to Kingsbridge on the north, 13 J miles, or 71,700 feet. The average breadth is 1 mile and 3220 feet, or 8500 feet. The greatest breadth is on the line of 88th- street, and is 12,200 feet, or about 23 miles. The area of the island is about 14,000 acres. On the north and east it is separated from West- chester County by Harlaem River, over which are three bridges, namely Harlaem, Macomb's, and King's bridges. The tide flows through this river or strait ; the western termination of which, where it connects with the Hudson, is called Spuyten DuyveVs Creek. The strait called the East River separates the island from Long Island on the east. On the south is the bay or harbour ; and on the west is the North, or Hudson River ; with the state of 14 DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY AND HARBOUR. New-Jersey on the opposite shore. The few small islands in the harbour are also attached to the City ; the principal of which are Governor's, Ellis', and Bedlow's Islands ; also, Blackwell's Island, in the East River, occupied by the City Penitentiary establishment. HARBOUR, &c. The harbour of New-York is safe and commodious, its circumference being about 25 miles, and the largest vessels may come up to the wharves at the City. On the bar, at Sandy Hook, the depth of water, at high tide, is 27 feet, and at low water 21 feet : from thence to the City the channel is from 35 to 50 feet. The Light House at Sandy Hook on the New-Jersey shore, is dis- tant 18 miles from the City ; and vessels frequently anchor in the outer harbour, or Raritan Bay. The entrance to New-York harbour is called "The Narrows," between Staten Island on the west, and Long Island on the east, 8 miles from the city. Sands' Point Light House, on Long Island, is situated near the western extremity of Long Island Sound, 20 miles N. E. of the City. The harbour is but seldom obstructed with ice. The differ- ence between high and low tides, at the wharves, averages about seven feet, and for the convenience of commerce several steamboats are employed in towing ships to and from sea. The principal commercial busi- ness is transacted on the east side of the City; the East River being the most convenient and safe part of the harbour. The width of the East River is from one third to one half of a mile to the opposite shore of Brooklyn, Long Island, The Hudson, or North River, is one mile in width to Jersey City, and a mile and a half to Hobo- ken, (New-Jersey.) FORTIFICATIONS. The principal fortifications for the defence of the har- bour are at the Narrows, about 8 miles from the City. On the eastern, or Long Island shore, are forts Hamilton and La Fayette, the latter of which, (formerly called Fort Diamond,) is built on a reef of rocks, two hundred yards, DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY AND HARBOUR. 15 from the shore, where the former is situated, and has three tiers of guns. The strait, or Narrows, is here about one third of a mile in width, and on the Staten Island, or western shore, opposite the two fortresses just named, are Fort Tompkins and Fort Richmond. The United States £jovemment have expended large sums of money on these different fortifications, particularly since the last war with Great Britain, and they are now considered amply sufficient for the defence of this passage to the harbour. The fortifications on the East River are not, at present, of much importance. There are batteries on Bedlow's and Ellis' islands, on the western side of the harbour; and on Governor's Island, (which is distant 3200 feet from the City at the Battery, and contains 70 acres,) are Fort Columbus and Castle Williams. The former is a strong work in the shape of a star, on the south side of the Island. The latter is on the north-west point of the island, built of stone, in a circular form, 600 feet in circumference, and 60 feet in height, with three tiers of guns. Theie is also a battery on the south-west side, commanding the en- trance through Buttermilk Channel. There are barracks on the island for the accommodation of a considerable number of soldiers. TELEGRAPH. A Telegraph is established on the heights of Staten Island, communicating by signals with one in the City, on the Merchants' Exchange. GEOLOGY, ELEVATION, CLIMATE, &C.* The island of New-York is formed on a bed of rocks, generally primitive granite, witli some lime-stone in the northern section, where are quarries of white marble. The elevation is very considerable above tide water * For a considerable portion of the information on these subjects, and on the supply of the City with water, we are indebted to the interesting Report of Col. De Witt Clinton, to the Common Council, Dec, 1832. 16 DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY. throughont the whole extent. The outline of the island is not more irregular than its surface. The ground within two miles of Kingsbridge, at Fort Washington, on the Hudson River, is supposed to be the most elevated, and was ascertained by Capt. Partridge, to be 238 feet above tide water. Fort Washington and Fort Tryon are the remains of a fortification used during the Revolu- tionary war. Fort Tryon is a short distance north of Fort Washington, and is 229 feet above tide. Other elevations in this part of the island, have not been ascer- tained. The greatest elevation of the Fourth Avenue, (which is the line of the Harleem Rail Road,) is 117 feet above tide. At the intersection of 23d-street, it is only 14g feet. The highest ground on the Sixth Avenue is 111| feet. The road, at Manhattanville, is 26 feet. The elevations of Broadway above tide, from the Battery to Canal-street, are as follows, (according to the surveys by the Street Commissioner,) namely at Battery-place, 14 feet; at Wall-street, 34 feet; at Cortlandi-street, 31 feet 6 inches; at Barclay -street, 35 feet 3 inches; City Hall, 38 feet; at Chambers-street, 34 feet 7 inches ; at Duane-street, 29 feet 6 inches; at Anthony-street, 35 feet 4 inches ; at Franklin-street, 28 feet 3 inches ; at Canal- street, 10 feet 6 inches. The general slope of the island is from the west to the east ; and at points, it is much broken by insulated and connected ridges and hills, with an elevated range of high ground running from west to east, which slopes towards the northern and southern parts of the island. This fact is considered invaluable, as it will enable reservoirs of water to be so located as to command, at an elevated head, the whole City. The general character of the soil of this island is open, through which the rains that fall freely percolate; a small portion of its area consists of salt marsh and ex- posed rock. It is, however, commonly sand and gravel, intermixed with pebbles and loose rock, resting on a stratified mass of gneiss, which exists at various depths. and at places appears on the surface. The depth of the soil has no reeular uniformity, as ascertained by boring. DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY. 17 At the well, on Thirteenth-street, it is 15 feet ; at Bleecker- street, it is 48 feet; at the Dry Dock, 100 feet; at Green- wich, 71) feet; at Washington Market, 72 feet. The soil is greatly diversified in quality ; but the best land is towards the north part of the island. The general aspect of the ground is forbidding for cultivation ; but, owing to the exertions and good taste of some of our citizens, there are many fields and gardens which afford good specimens of agriculture; and the horticulture is conducted in a style not surpassed in the United States. In 1825 the quantity of cultivated land on the island was 5785 acres. A considerable proportion of the ground which is laid out in gardens, is noted for its fertility, producing every variety of vegetables and fruits common to this climate. The situation of the city is considered very favourable to the health of the inhabitants, from the elevated charac- ter of the island, and the vicinity of the ocean. The climate, at most seasons, is mild and agreeable. The winters are less severe than in the interior of the State, and the sea breezes render the heat of summer less op- pressive. An examination of the Bills of Mortality (see Index) will show the annual average of deaths in this City to be less in jiroportion to the population, than that of most other large Cities in the United States, taking into consideration that this port is the principal recepta- cle of emigrants from Europe, the deaths among whom, unused to our climate, tend to swell the Bills of Mortality. DIVISIONS AND GOVERNMENT. The City is divided into 15 wards, which are particu- larly defined in another part of this volume. Each ward elects annually an Alderman and an Assistant Alderman, who are formed into a Common Council of two boards. The mayor is elected annually, (agreeably to an amendment of the constitution,) by the people. GENERAL ASPECT. A panorama of this extensive City, presents the com- pact part occupying the south end of the island we have described, and stretching along each river about three 2 18 DESCRIPTION or THE CITY. miles. The number of lots built upon in all the wards, except the twelfth, (which comprises all the island north of three miles,) in 1831, was 20,093, having a population of about 10 persons to each lot ; and the number of vacant lots, in the same wards, was 6352. The present number of buildings is about 30,000. The City is generally regularly built j the principal streets running north and south, and being crossed by others, extendmg from the East to the North Rivers. Great improvements have been made within a few years, in the compact part of the City, by widening, opening, and straightening streets, to remedy, in some degree, the irregular and inconvenient manner in which the ancient part of the City was built. The dwellings and ware- nouses of our Dutch ancestors have nearly all given place to the more tasteful and convenient buildings of modern times. Most of these buildings are of brick; and many of the warehouses of the merchants are not surpassed for beauty, spaciousness, and convenience, by those of any other City. The style of building, with granite and marble fronts to the basement, has been recently intro- duced, and is now almost uniformly adopted in the erec- tion of warehouses. Tke northern part of the City has been very handsomelj^ laid out, with wide streets and avenues 5 and the style of building, for dweling houses, is neat, and frequently elegant. Some of the rows of houses in LaFayette-place, Bond-street, Bleecker-street, &c., may vie, for beauty and taste, with those of the finest Cities of Europe. An alphabetical list of the streets of the City is given, at page 1 93. Broadway is the principal thoroughfare, and most fashionable promenade. It is 80 feet wide, and extends about three miles from north to south, termina- ting at the Battery. From this street there is a gentle slope, east and west, to the rivers. Greenwich-street is wide and elegant, and runs parallel with Broadway, be- tween that street and Washington-street, which last is a fine avenue, next to West-st., extending along the North River. Pearl-street, between Broadway and the East River, is over a mile in length, and its course is nearly in DESCniPTION OF THE CITY. 19 the form of a crescent, containing numerous spacious warehouses, and is the principal seat of the dry goods, and hardware business. Front and Water streets, be- tween Pearl-street and the East River, are occupied principally by the wholesale grocers, commission mer- chants, and mechanics connected with the shipping busi- ness. South-street, running along the East River, con- tains the warehouses and offices of most of the principal shipping merchants. Wall-street runs from Broadway to the East River, and is occupied by the Banks, In- surance Companies, Merchants' Exchange, Newspapers, and Brokers offices, being the seat of heavier moneyed transactions than any other place m America. Canal- street, running across Broadway to the Hudson River, near the centre of the City, is a spacious street, princi- pally occupied by retail stores. The Bowery is a wide and extensive street, running directly north and south, east of Broadway. The 'J'hird Avenue, extending from the Bowery to Harlgem, is Macadamized, and is the principal avenue to the City from the east. Chatham- street, East Broadway, iSfassau-street, Maiden-lane, Broad, Fulton, Cortlandt, William, Hudson, Division, Grand, and Broome streets, deserve particular notice, as among the principal streets and avenues. The streets are generally well paved, with stone or brick side walks, lighted at night with lamps, and some of them supplied with gas lights. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. In enumerating the public buildings which are not described under their appropriate heads, we shall first name THE CITY HALL, Situated in the Park, about half a mile from the Battery, and equi-distant from the East and North Rivers. It is 216 feet in length, by 105 in breadth ; the front and ends built of wMte marble, and the rear of free stone, and is considered one of the most beautiful edifices in the United States. It consists of a centre building and two wings, principally of the Ionic and Corinthian 20 PUBLIC BUILDINGS. orders.

The new Alms House is situated at Bellevue, on the East River, two and a half miles from the City Hall, and is a spacious edifice of stone, with numerous buildings as appendages. The location is remarkably salubrious and pleasant. There are several farms on Long Island, at- tached to the Alms House establishment. (For other Public Buildings, see Index.) GAS WORKS. The New-York Gas Light Company have their works located at the corner of Canal and Centre streets, and have at present laid down, in the principal streets, about 26 miles of iron pipes. The public buildings and stores which are supplied with gas by this Company, pay for the same at the rate of 70 cents per 100 cubic feet con- sumed. The expense of gas for a store, with four lights, is about $60 per year. (For capital, &c., see page 12L) THE MANHATTAK GAS LIGHT COMPANY WORKS Are located on the North River at the footof Eighteenth- st. This Company have laid their main pipes through Eighteenth-street, Ninth-avenue, Hudson, Bleecker-st. Sixth-avenue, Waverly-placo, Broadway, Bowery, Broome, Centre, and Grand streets; and are now laying them through other important streets. They expect to furnish the citizens in the upper parts of the City with a full supply of pure Gas within the current year. harLjEm rail road. The New-York and Harla^m Rail Road Company was incorporated in 1831, with a capital of $350,000, for the 22 harljEm rail road. purpose of constructing a Rail Road, from the central part of the. city to Harlfem. The route selected extends ( from Prince-street, in the Bowery, along the line of the Fourth Avenue, 7^ miles to Harlsem. The road is com- pleted from Prince-street to Yorkville, 5 miles ; a single track is laid on granite sleepers, in the best manner, from Prince-street to Union Place, when a double track commences, and which is laid on granite sleepers to Twenty-third-street, and on wood as far as Eighty- fourth-street, or Yorkville, (except a part of the distance, which as yet is only complete with one track.) The road was begun to be used as far as Murray Hill in June, 1833 ; 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 12^ cents, and the daily expenses of each car is computed at $2,75, exclusive of wear and tear. The excavations and deep cuttings, through the solid rock, and the extensive embankments over valleys, on the line of this Rail Road, are well worthy of observation. An excursion to Yorkville is at once pleasant and cheap. At Yorkville the company have erected a splendid Hotel, which at present is kept by George Novvlan. It is a spacious two story building, 80 feet in length by 30 feet in width, having a piazza around both stories. The elevation is 125 feet above tide water, commanding a view of the surrounding country. Hell-gate, and the East River, that has no equal on the Island. SUPPLY OF water. The City is destitute of a supply of good and whole- somfe water, and various plans have been proposed, 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 Pas- saic, at Paterson, New-Jersey. The quantity of water SUPPLY OF WATER. 23 required for the supply of the City, is estimated at over four millions of gallons per day or 20 gallons for each person, including manufactories, stables, «fec. At an early period of the history of the City, it was found that the well water was deteriorating in goodness. The fact is noticed in an able report made by Mr. Weston, in 1799. There are numerous wells, with pumps in all parts of the City ; but the pump water is generally con- sidered bad and deleterious in its character, south of a line from the Hudson River through Spring-street, to the Bowery and Third Avenue, and thence to Thirteenth-street and the East River. In the remaining parts of the City, it is generally indifferently good ; but it is also annually losing its purity. For washing, rain water is generally used by the citi- zens, most of the houses being provided with good cis- terns. Many parts of the City are now supplied with water, for the table, brought from the upper wards in casks. On the East and North Rivers, in some instances, it is pure, and in others, its goo'dness is but little better than the present well water. The taldes of the wealthy are supplied from this source, while the poorer classes have to resort to such wells and pumps as are in their neighbourhood. It has been ascertained that there are now brought to the City daily by drays or water carts, 600 hogsheads, for which there is paid one dollar and twenty-five cents for each hogshead, (or about one cent per gallon,) amounting to $750 per day, or $273,750 per annum, for water from that source. The sum paid for water is annually increasing, owing to wells and springs constantly losing their purity. 3iany of the large hotels pay from $200 to $450, annually, for water, and the smaller classes of boarding and private houses pay from $15 to $50, annually, for the same. The shipping in the port are principally supplied with water from Brooklyn, Long Island, and a small quantity from New-Jersey and Staten Island. The supply re- quired for the shipping, is estimated, from careful in- quiries, to amount to 415 hogsheads per day, or 129,895 hhds. per year, (8,183,895 gallons,) which at 31 and 50 24 SUPPLY OF WATER. cents per hogshead, is $160 per day, or $50,080 paid per year. MANHATTAN WATER WORKS. In 1799 the Manhattan Company was incorporated, with a view to supply the City with pure and whole- some water. The charter is perpetual, and the capital over two millions of dollars, (see page 98,) the surplus funds being employed in banking. The Company have, by the charter, the control over the streams and springs on New-York Island, and the county of Westchester, for the above object. Their works are situated in Reed-street, a short dis- tance north of the City Hall. The water is raised by two steam engines, from a well in Cross-?treet, twenty-five feet in diameter, to a reservoir in Chambers-street, eleva- ted 15 feet above Broadway, from whence the water is distributed in iron and wooden pipes to the lower parts of the City. In 1823, the steam engines worked 16 hours per day, and raised in 24 hours, 691,200 gallons. 25 miles of pipes were then down, and 2000 houses, besides ma- nufactories, (fee, were supplied by the Company, who had expended $400,000 in constructing the works. The well, from which the water is obtained, was the old Tea Water pump, and the water was formerly considered the best on the island. That it has greatly deteriorated in quality, appears from the following analysis, made in 1831, of a gallon of the Manhattan water: Muriate of Soda, 45.20 Muriate of Magnesia, 40.00 Sulphate of Magnesia, 6.00 Carbonate of Lime, with a little Carbo- nate of Magnesia, 12.80 Sulphate of Lime, 4.00 Extractive matter, combined with water,. 17.80 Mass in a gallon of water, 125.80 The Manhattan Company, since 1823, have employed Mr. Disbrow to construct a well near the corner of Bleecker-street and Broadway. Its diameter is 8 inches, and its depth is 442 feet, containing 1154 gallons. WATER, CITY RESERVOIR. 25 WATER COMPANIES NOT IN OPERATION. The following companies have been at different times incorporated by the Legislature of this State, for the purpose of supplying the Cit}- with water, but are neither of them in operation, namely — The Sharon Canal Com- pany, incorporated in 1823; The New-York Water Works, incorporated in 1825; Harlaem Spring Water Company, incorporated in 1827. CITY RESERVOIR. The Corporation of the City, in order to provide a supply of water for a part of the City, for the extinguish- ment of fires, have recently caused the construction of an extensive reservoir, which is situated in Thirteenth- street, near the Bowery. The diameter of the well, from which the water is pro- cured, is 16 feet ; its depth is 112 feet, 97 of which are ex- cavated in solid rock ; its bottom is 62 feet below common high tide. On the east side, and within 12 feet of the bottom of the well, there is a horizontal passage, 4 feet by 6, extending into the rock 75 feet ; and on the west side, a similar passage, 75 feet long, with a branch 25 feet. The object of these excavations, is to increase the quantity of water, which ri^es in the well to within 12 feet of the surface of tlie ground, and the whole contains 175,170 gallons. From the well, the water is raised by a steam engine of 12 horse power, into an iron tank in a building of an octagonal form. The bottom of the tank is 83| feet above tide. It is 44 feet in diameter, 20| feet high, and will contain 233,169 gallons. From the tank, the water is conducted into the mains by curved j)ipes, of 20 inches diameter. The total cost of the works, exclusive of pipes, was $42,233 ; and the annual expense is $3,165. From the reservoir, iron pipes, from 6 to 12 inches in diiimeter, have been laid down through many of the Jjrincipal streets, to the extent of over 9 miles, or 47,066 eet, at an average expense of about two dollars per foot. 26 SUPPLY OF WATER. (The cost of one mile of pipe, of 12 inches diameter, is $11,345.) By an experiment which has been made, it is ascer- tained that water from the City Reservoir can be thrown from the fire plugs over the houses in any of the lower parts of the City, or south of the reservoir, or in its vi- cinity. PROPOSED SUPPLY OF WATER FROM THE CROTON AND BRONX RIVERS. Surveys of routs 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 Cor- poration. 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 citi- zens, to be called " Water Commissioners," who are to examine andconsider all matters relating to the subject, cause surveys to be made, and adopt such plans as they may deem most advantageous.* Said Commissioners are to report to the Common Council, who, if they approve thereof, are to cause the opinion of the electors of the city to be taken at the next charter election by ballots of "yes" and "no." If a majority of the electors are found to be in favour of the measure, the Common Council are authorized to raise by loan $2,500,000. The united streams which can be brought to^the City in an aqueduct are estimated to afford a daily supply of 32 millions of gallons. The present demand of the City is probably not more than 6 millions. The total length of the aqueduct, which it is proposed to construct 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. CEMETERIES AND MONUMENTS. In 1823, a law was passed to prevent interments south of Grand-street, and a penalty of $250 fixed for each violation of the same. * For their names, see page 32. i CEMETERIES AND MONUMENTS. 27 1 Many of the churches have burying grounds and vaults I in the upper part of the City, belonging to congregations ii of different denominations. An extensive cemetery has i been laid out on the Fifth Avenue, near the three mile i stone, containing 10 acres of ground. Occasional inter- ments take place in the vaults belonging to families at- ; tached to churches in the lower part of the City, the friends of the deceased paying the penalty of $250. An : ordinance has been recently adopted, directing the ex- tension of Pine-street across Broadway, through Trinity .churchyard, one of the most ancient cemeteries in the City. I Among the numerous monuments in churches and ! churchyards, we may name the following. The monu- ment to Bishop Hobart, in Trinity Church; to Thomas \ Addis Emmet, (an obelisk 30 feet high) in St. Paul's I churchyard, where are also the monuments to Major i Gen. Montgomery, and George Frederick Cooke the I celebrated tragedian. In Trinity churchyard is the 1 monument to Capt. James Lawrence, who fell in the contest between the U. S. frigate Chesapeake and the British frigate Shannon, during the last war. CHARTER OFFICERS. Cornelius W. Lawrence, Mayor. — Salary, $3000. Richard Riker, Recorder, Fees. Common Council. Wards.

The American Bible Society was formed in 1816, for the sole object of increasing the circulation of the Holy Scriptures, without note or comment. Its seat of opera- tion is at No. 115 Nassau-street, New-York, where Bi- bles and Testaments are printed, bound, and issued. More than one million and a half copies have been issued in eighteen years. The Society is under the di- rection of a board of thirty-six Lay Managers, (Baptists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Episcopal Methodists, Reformed Dutch, and Society of Friends,) who meet once a month, without pay, and inspect and give direc- tions in relation to all the affairs of the Institution. They publish a monthly account of all moneys received, and once a year give, in a printed report, a full history of all their proceedings. The Society has now nearly one thousand Auxiliary Societies, scattered through every State and Territory in the Union. The Auxiliaries receive books at the very lowest rates at which they can be made, and when unable to buy, are furnished with them gratuitously. Any person becomes an annual member, and has a right to buy books at cost, by paying $3. A member for life pays $30, and a director for life $150. The Society's houses, built by funds given for this object, cover one hundred feet square of ground. They contain the offices of the Secretary and the General Agent, the Managers' Hall, a large depository for books, a printing office with seventeen steam power presses, and an extensive bindery. If necessary 1,000 Bibles per day, can easil)' be made. The Society keeps no perma- nent funds, but expends all contributed, in circulating the Scriptures at home or abroad. 62 RELIGIOUS, BENEVOLENT, AND AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY. (Formed, May, 1825.)

This is a very large house, denominated the Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb ; the Legislature of the State of New-York have granted funds to defray the expense of building it. It is situated on a piece of ground between the Third Avenue and the Middle Road, about three miles north of the City, about a mile and a half east of the Hudson River, about three quarters of a mile west of the East River, and about four miles south of the Harla^m Bridge. It was commenced in 1827, and completed in 1829. Men were employed in building it at the expense of $31,000. It has about 25 rooms, three of which are school rooms, for the instruction of the deaf and dumb; two of them are studying rooms for them; MORAL INSTITUTIONS. 73 several are occupied by teachers and men, some fur- nished as parlours for visiters, and one as a library pre- sented l)y the benevolent. The length of the building is 110 feet, and its width 60 feet, and it has a basement, and three stories, and looks like a college. The basement contains a dining-room, a washing-room, a kitchen, and ironing-room. There is a partition between two yards, and sheds under which the males and females play. The Institution is provided with six well qualified and experienced teachers ; five of whom assist Mr. Peet in the duties of instructing the scholars in their five classes. The principal of the New- York Institution is Mr. Peet. And his duty is to take care of all the pupils, to make rules of conduct for them, and to have the superintend- ence and government. He was appointed a secretary of said Institution by the Board of Directors, in the place of Dr. Akerly, resigned. The Directors hold meetings monthly, to consult about the business of the Institution, and employ him in taking charge of all the pupils. There are ten acres of land belonging to the Institu- tion, which consist of meadows, a lawn, and two gardens. The meadows produce grass in abundance, which is converted into hay. The largest garden is planted with vegetables, and the other has various flowers for the female pupils. There is a shop built of wood, in which four competent and capable men have three trades to instruct the male pupils in the department of work and industry. And these trades consist of the cabinet-work, tailoring, and shoemaking. There is a stable standing- opposite to the shop, in which horses, wagons, hay, and straw are kept. ORPHAN ASYLUM.

The delivery of alphabetical and advertised letters, and the Ladies' win- dow, are in the portico on Hanover-street. The vast bu- siness of this office, since its recent organization, is con- ducted upon a regular system, which defines the duties and responsibilities of every person employed in it. There are four general divisions of the office, denominated the City Delivery — Forwarding Department — Netos- paper Distribution and Delivery — Letter Carriers^ De- partment. The " City Delivery" is under the superin- tendence of William B. Taylor, who is assisted by six clerks; he has charge of all the letters for the boxes, general delivery, and packets. Joseph W. Benedict is at the head of the " Forwarding Department," and has six clerks connected with him, whose duty it is to mark, stamp, distribute, and mail all letters for other offices. Simeon M. Tompkins has charge of the "Newspaper Distribution and Delivery," assisted by five clerks. The " Letter Carriers' Department" is under the direction of Elias Lynch, and has fifteen carriers connected with him, who deliver letters and papers to all persons whose resi- dences are known, (and have not boxes,) twice a day be- tween the months of March and September. Boxes are placed by the Carriers in the upper part of the city, where they receive letters and deliver them every day (except Sundays) at one o'clock, to the Post Office, in time for the afternoon mails, for which they charge two cents each. Letters for the city, deposited in the Post Office before one o'clock, P.M., are delivered in the same day. Sainuel L. Gouverneur, P. M, Baniabas Bates, Assistant P. M.

[Hf Letters going out of the United States, must be paid for when lodged in the Post Office, except for Upper and Lower Canada, which are forwarded to the Lines without being paid for. Every printed pamphlet or magazine, which contains more than 24 pages on a royal sheet, or any sheet of less dimensions, shall be charged by the sheet, and small pamphlets, printed on a half or quarter sheet of royal or less size, shall be charged with half the amount of post- age charged on a full sheet; and there shall be printed or written on one of the outer pages of all pamphlets and magazines to be sent by mail the num!)er of sheets they contain; and if such number shall not be truly stated, double postage shall be charged. Letters and Newspapers are delivered out of the Office every day, (except Sunday,) at all hours from the rising of the sun, till 8 o'clock, P. M., and on Sunday, from 9 , to 10, and from 1 to 2. Newspapers^ to be forwarded by mail, should be en- closed in a cover, and left open at one end, and the num- ber of free papers, and those for subscribers respectively endorsed on each packet; and all newspapers, for each Post Office, should be enclosed in one package, provided they do not exceed twenty in number. If a letter, or memorandum in writing, is contained in any newspaper, the person who deposites the same forfeits five dollars, and the package becomes liable to letter postage. Letters to be sent by mail, should be addressed to the places of their destination in the clearest manner ; they should always be directed to the nearest Post Office, if the person to whom addressed does not reside where therd POST OFFICE. 137 is an office, and tlfe name of the state ought not to be omitted. Letters are often missent, from their ambiguous direction. A ])unctual attention to tiiis rule may prevent delays and miscarriages. If an abatement of letter postage be claimed, the letter must be opened in the presence of the Post Master, or one of his assistants ; and if such letter should, instead of being overcharged, happen to be undercharged, the deficiency must be made up by the applicant. All letters which are lodged to go by the British Pac- kets, should be distinguished by writing, per packet, for there are jilaces of the same name in the United States, similar to those in Europe.

(Bowery, between Bayard and Walker streets.) Was erected in 1826, and opened Octotober 16, 1826, within six months from the time the building was com- menced. It was burnt in May, 1828, and immediately afterwards rebuilt, and re-opened in Aug., 1828. The present building is one of the finest specimens of Doric architecture in the City ; the front being constructed after the model of the Temple of Minerva, at Athens. The interior is elegant, and fitted up in a superior style. The width of the front, on the Bowery, is 75 feet; and the depth, to Elizabeth-street, is 175 feet. The height of the building to the conn'ce being 50 feet. Prices of admission — Boxes, 75 cents ; Pit, 37 J cents; Gallery, 25 cents. Thomas S. Hamblin, Manager. AMUSEMENTS. 18 RICHMOND HILL THEATRE.

THE ITALIAN OPERA HOUSE, Erected by an association of 16 proprietors, each sub- scribing $6,000, and each possessing a private box, with six free seats, in the second tier. The building is on the N. W. corner of Church and Leonard streets, and covers 99 feet front and rear, and 150 feet in depth. The stage is 40 feet wide, and 70 feet deep. A portion of the house, 20 feet wide, and 150 feet long, on Leonard-street, is ap- propriated for a spacious saloon, coftee rooms, dressing rooms, and refectories. A part of the pit is set apart for balcony and orchestra seats, and the residue furnished with arm-chairs, and settees. There are eight private boxes under the first tier, on the wings of the pit. All the seats in the house are unusually spacious and com- fortable, and capable offiillyaccommodatingl200 persons, exclusive of the proprietors' boxes in the second tier, which >vill, if necessary, contain 300 seats. MUSEUMS. AMERICAN MUSEUM. (Opposite St. Paul's Church, Broadway.) This excellent institution was founded in 1810, by the late John Scudder, by whose arduous efforts, and the persevering exertions of its more recent proprietors, it has arose to its present high standing. It continues daily to improve in every department, \)y extensive and valua- ble additions of the works of ]\ature and artificial curio- sities, from all parts of the world. Its immense collec- tions are well arranged and beautifully displayed in four spacious Saloons, each one hundred feet in length, which have now become so well filled, that another apartment 188 AMUSEMENTS. (now in a state of preparation) of still larger dimensions is necessary for its accommodation. The Grand Cos- morama of this establishment is truly a most splendid affair, which for extent of glasses and magnificence of views, is not surpassed in this or any other country. The views embrace a great variety of subjects, and were all executed expressly by Italian Artists of eminence in their profession. No labour or expense has been spared to render this establishment well deserving a continu- ance of that liberal and distinguished patronage it has always received. The building is very high, and from its observatory may be enjoyed some of the finest views in the City, and of the beautiful bay and surrounding country. The halls are well warmed and ventilated, and at evening brilliantly lighted with gas, altogether forming a very inviting agreeable lounge, and at the same time, a place for serious contemplation and amusement, to those who delight in the study of the wonderful works of Na- ture. Admittance, 25 cents — children, half price. peale's museum and gallery of the fine arts. (Broadway, opposite the Park.) This establishment was founded in the year 1825, and has increased with astonishing rapidity. It contains four spacious apartments, which are arranged in the follow- ing order. — The 1st contains specimens of Natural His- tory in all its branches, and for beauty of arrangement, and the exquisite style in which the articles are mounted, renders it one of the most interesting places of public amusement in the country. The 2d is a large and va- luable collection of Paintings, by eminent artists, amongst which may be particularly mentioned, a Portrait of Na- poleon, by Le Fevre ; a Magdalen, by Le Bron, together with Portraits of at least 150 celebrated citizens and fo- reigners. The 3d contains a very superior Cosmorama, several Wax Figures of good workmanship. Fossils, Shells, Minerals, and Miscellaneous Curiosities. It would be impossible to enumerate the principal articles of AMUSJEMENTS. 189 interest in the establishment, but it would be unjust to the enterprising Proprietor, not to name the Egyptian Mum- my, the tattooed head of a New-Zealand Chief, and the living Anaconda, all of whicli have been procured at a very great expense. The 4th is a Lecture Room, in which, during each evening throughout the year, a suc- cession of interesting amusements take place. BATBS. The principal Baths, for the accommodation of strangers and citizens, are the following : Arcade Bath, 39 Chambers-street. Washington Bath, 533 Pearl-street. Mansion House Bath, 39 Broadway. Besides many others of less note. The sea water Baths are conveniently arranged, and are much frequented during warm weather. The princi- pal Baths are at the Battery, and near Murray-street, on the North River. FASHIOIVABIiE: Rf^SORTS. In the City, and its vicinity, are numerous places of resort, where the citizen and stranger may retire from the bustle of the City, and the fatigues of business. THE BATTERY. This beautiful promenade is situated at the south-west end of the island, and junction of the North and East Rivers, and possesses attractions unsurpassed, perhaps, by any other similar place of resort in the world, justly commanding the admiration of every visiter. It is in full view of the bay and surrounding scenery of Long Island, Staten Island, New-Jersey, and the islands in the har- bour. From no one point can a better idea be formed of the magnitude of the commerce of the City. The nu- merous ships, steam-boats, and small vessels, that are 190 FASHIONABLE RESORTS. constantly entering and departing from the port, forming a scene of stirring interest. Of the bay itself, we deem it appropriate in this place to quote the language of a late English tourist. " 1 have never seen the bay of Naples, I can therefore make no comparison ; but my imagination is incapable of conceiving any thing more beautiful than the harbour of New-York. Various and lovely are the objects which meet the eye on every side ; but the naming them would only be to give a list of words, without conveying the faintest idea of the scene. I doubt if even the pencil of Turner could do it justice, bright and glorious as it rose upon us. We seemed to enter the harbour of New- York upon waves of liquid gold ; and as we dashed past the green isles which rise from its bosom like guardian sentinels of the fair City, the setting sun stretched his horizontal beams further and further, at each moment, as if to point out to us some new glory in the landscape." The Battery extends somewhat in the fonn of a cres- cent, from the termination of Broadway, Greenwich, and Washington streets, on the north-west, to Whitehall- street, on the east, covering an area of nearly 11 acres, and laid out in grass-plots and gravel walks, shaded with trees. The exterior, fronting the harbour, is built up with hewn stone ; and on this side is a paved walk, with stone posts connected with a neat open railing. An ex- pensive iron railing, with gateways, extends along the interior front. This favourite promenade was originally a fortifica- tion, thrown up by the Dutch, and planted with cannon, from which circumstance it derives its name. Its bounds have been much enlarged by filling in, and for many years it has been used as a public walk, and, constantly fanned as it is by the breezes of the ocean, no more agreeable and healthful retreat, from the heat of the City, can be found during the summer months. CASTLE GARDEN. ^ On a mole, connected with the Battery by a bridge, is situated Castle Garden, originally erected for a fortifica- FASHIONABLE RESORTS. 191 tion, and used for that purpose until 1823, when it was ceded by the United States to the Corporation of this City, since which it has been leased for a place of public amusement or recreation. On the top of the walls a walk, covered by ah awning, has been constructed, from whence a fine view of the harbour and adjacent scenery is obtained. Within the wails over ten thousand people may be accommodated, and concerts and fire works are occasionally given. VAUXHALL GARDEN, Is situated near the junction of the Bowery and Broad- way, fronting on the former, and was formerly a place of great resort in summer. On the evenings of public days, fire works and other entertainments were exhibited ; but by the late improvements in that part of the City, particularly by the extension of Lafayette-place through the Garden, its dimensions have been much lessened, and its attractions weakened. NIBLO'S GARDEN. (Corner of Broadway aad Prince-street.) Is one of the most fashionable places of resort in the City, during the summer months. It has been laid out with great taste, and when open to the public, is hand- somely lighted, and decorated with paintings, mirrors. See. The walks are bordered with shrubbery and flowers in great variety. Fire works are occasionally exhibited ; and in the Saloon, which is a very tasteful and airy building, theatrical and musical entertainments are given. OTHER PUBLIC GARDENS. Palmo's Garden, Broadway, between Duane and An- thony streets. New -York Garden, Broadway, between Leonard and Franklin streets. Cold Spring Garden, between Greenwich and Wash- ington streets, corner of Le Roy-street. East River Garden, near Corlaers Hook. 192 FASHIONABLE RESORTS. OTHER PLACES OF RESORT. On the North and East Rivers, in addition to those we have named above, there are, on this island, many fa- vourite places of resort for rides and excursions. Burn- ham's, Cato's, Rogers', and Rose Hill Taverns, may be named as among the most frequented by equestrians. — (For places of resort and excursions out of the city, See Environs.) HOARDS.

The City is bounded north by the city and county of New-York ; east by the townshfp of Bush wick ; south by the townships of Flatbush and New-Utrecht ; and west hy New-York bay. a pr ENVIRONS OF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK. 219 The village of Williamsburg, in the town of Bush- wick, is situated on the East River, (950 yards wide,) opposite Corlaer's Hook, and has intercourse with the City of New-York, by a ferry, from the foot of Grand- street. Flatbush, 5 miles from New-York, is a delightful place of residence ; it is the seat of Erasmus Hall Academy, and was the scene of a sanguinary battle between tlie British and Americans in 1776. Bath, in the town of New-Utrecht, Long Island, 8 miles south of Brooklyn, is a favourite place of resort for sea bathing. Here is a well kept public house, with a lawn fronting the bay, well shaded with trees, where the breezes of the ocean may be enjoyed during the heat of summer. At Coney Island, which is 2 miles from Bath, and is joined to Long Island, by a bridge across a narrow inlet, is a fine beach for bathing, with a public house and other conveniences. Jamaica, on Long Island, is a beautiful and flourishing town ; having a village of the same name, 12 miles from Brooklyn, and is to be connected with the latter place by a rail road. The Union Race Course is situated at the west end of Jamaica, about 8 miles from Brooklyn. Rockaway, on the Atlantic Ocean, is 8 miles from Jamaica, and 20 from New-York. This is a favourite resort for sea bathing, the fine beach affording great ad- vantages for that purpose. A splendid Hotel, (the Ma- rine Pavilion,) has been recently erected by an associa- tion of between 70 and 80 gentlemen, of the City of New- York, of whom Philip Hone, Jno. A. King and Rob't Ray are Trustees. It has been opened the present season by Horatio Blake and Alonzo Reed, who have furnished the house on a liberal scale, every article being new, and of i. haste and appropriate style. The Hotel is 230 feet in 220 ENVIRONS OF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK. front, 3 stories in height, with two wings, and two mag- nificent Piazzas; the front one extending the whole length of the mansion, 20 feet in width, ornamented with 28 Cfrecian Columns. The rear Piazza extends from one wing to the other, a distance of 150 feet. From the front is an unrivalled view of the Atlantic Ocean, Sandy Hook, and the shipping passing the narrowsjto and from the harbour of New-York; and the rear affords a pros- pect of Jamaica bay and the adjacent country. The front Piazza forms a cool and delightful promenade, (fronting the Ocean, at a distance of 70 rods,) where the eye can contemplate at morn one of the most sublime spectacles in nature, namely, the sun rising in all its splendour, apparently from the mighty deep. Netctow7i, on Long Island, 8 miles from New-York, is a pleasant place of residence; the town abounds in good farms and gardens, producing delicious fruits, particular- ly the Newtown pippin. Flushing, on Long Island, is about 10 miles from the City, and is a pleasant and healthy retreat. The village is situated at the head of Flushing bay. A steamboat and stages go and return, daily, from Flushing to New- York. The Linnaean Botanic Garden, at Flushing, was established about the year 1750, by William Prince, the father of the elder proprietor. The Botanic Garden and nurseries attached, cover an extent of upwards of forty acres, and contain about 10,000 species and varieties of trees and plants. Particular attention has been paid to the culture of the vine and the mulberry. The green- house department is on a large scale, containing about 30,000 plants. In the other departments will be found fruit trees of all the various kinds — ornamental trees and shrubs; herbaceous, flowering, and medicinal plants; bulbous and tuberows rooted flowers ; and American in- digenous trees and plants. Visiters are allowed free access to the garden, on all days, except Sunday. Letter box, at Swords, Stanford «fc Co., 152 Broadway. ENVIRONS OF THE CltY OF NEW-YORK. 221 Glen Cove, 20 miles east from New-York; Oyster Bay, 26 miles, and Cold Spring-, 30 miles, are all places of considerable resort, being pleasantly situated on the north side of Long Island. Westchester, Eastchester, and New-Rochelle, in West- chester county, are all pleasant towns, situated on the north side of Long Island Sound. Most of the above places are visited daily by steamboats from the City. Siaten Island, forming the county of Richmond, New- York, is about 6 miles from the City; it is separated from New-Jersey by Staten Island Sound, and from Long Island by the Narrows and New-York Bay. It is 16 miles long and 7 broad, and is generally rough and hilly. The Quarantine Ground, on the southeast side of Staten Island, is a place of great resort. Steamboats run several times, daily, to and from Whitehall-slip to Tompkinsville, where is situated the Quarantine dock ; also a number of extensive hospitals, being well regulated establishments, placed on a high and healthy spot, favoured with breezes from the ocean. The salubrity of the place caused the shore to be selected as a fit place for receiving invalids and sickly ships, arriving from abroad. Sailor^ s Snug- Harbour. — This interesting Institution, founded by the late Captain Robert R. Randal, for the reception of "old and worn-out infirm seamen," formerly located at the upper end of Broadway, is now situated on Staten Island, near the Quarantine Ground. The trustees have erected a large and commodious building, where some fifty or sixty disabled seamen have found a Snug Harbour for life — where they have every want sup-' plied, and at the same time are required to occupy only as much time for labour as will contribute to their health and comfort. A farm belongs to the Institution, contain- ing nearly 150 acres of fine land, commanding an exten- sive view of the distant city and bay. 222 ENVIRONS OF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK. The last annual report of the trustees of the Institu- tion has been published. The amount ef receipts dur- ing the year 1833, including a balance on hand, Dec. 31, 1832, was $33,733 59 ; disbursements $31,721 63, leav- ing a balance in the hands of the treasurer, on the 31st Dec, 1833, of $2,011 96. The amount of funds held by the trustees, (the stocks estimated at par value,) is $109,929 98 ; and the receipts for the current vear are estimated at $32,315 02. Perth Amhoijj New-Jersey, is pleasantly situated on a fine harbour, 13 miles, from New-Brunswick, and 23 south-west of New- York. At South Amboy, on the op- posite side of the harbour, the Camden and Amboy Rail Road commences. This has now become the principal thoroughfare between New-York and Philadelphia. Long Branch, 30 miles south of New- York, is a fashionable resort for sea bathing, in summer, from New- York and Philadelphia. An extensive view of the At- lantic Ocean is here obtained. Newark, New Jersey, is a handsome and flourishing town, situated on the Passaic River, 9 miles from New- York. The location is on a plain considerably elevated above the river, and from the hill on the west side of the town there is a fine prospect of the surrounding country. The Morris Canal terminates here, and boats descend from the canal to the river by an inclined plane, which is well worthy of the observation of visiters. Newark contains about 13,000 inhabitants, most of whom are oc- cupied in various manufactures. Among the articles made here, are carriages, leather, saddlery, boots, and shoes, plated ware, jewelry, and coach lace, which are sent to various markets in large quantities. More than 300 buildings have been erected during the past year. From orchards in the vicinity, the celebrated Newark Cider is produced. A steamboat plies regularly from New- York to Newark. The distance by water is about 17 miles. ENVIRONS OF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK. 223 Orange Sprinscs are delightfully situated, 4 miles from Newark, and 13 from New- York, and are much frequented during summer, by numbers, for the benefit of the mineral waters, and the enjoyment of the beauties of the romantic scenery in the vicinity. Elizabethtown is 6 miles south of Newark, and is a pleasant residence and place of resort. It is situated on a creek, which runs into Staten Island Sound, and a steamboat plies from New-York to the Point, two miles from the town. The population of the town is about 3500. Paterson, also in Essex County, New Jersey, is a large manufacturing village, situated at the Falls of the Passaic, 14 miles from Hobolcen, (opposite New-York,) from whence, to Paterson, a rail-road has been recently constructed and is now in operation. I'he IMorris Canal passes through the place. The manufactories are nu- merous, and among the principal are, 17 coiton mills, several machine shops, iron and brass foundries, sail duck and paper mills, nail factory, «fcc. The popula- tion is about 9,000. The Passaic Falls, at Paterson, are an object of curiosity, and attract numerous visiters. The river here descends over a precipice of 72 feet perpendicular into a narrow chasm, and presents a scene of romantic beauty, although the effect is much lessoned by the diversion of water into the canal which supplies the manufac- tories. Hohohen, New-Jersey, opposite New-York, where the North River is about a mile and a half wide, is a favourite resort for the citizens during the summer. Steam ferry-boats run from Barclay-street and Canal street, New-York, to this place, once in every twenty minutes or half hour, during the day; and the fare, in summer, is but &\ cents. Near the ferry is a public house, in front of which is a fine lawn, where seats are 924 ENVIRONS OF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK. provided for visiters to enjoy the cool breezes which prevail during the warmest weather, and the fine pros- pect which the place commands of the city and harbour. iVorth of the house, there is a circular railway, on which are carriages propelled by the passengers for ex- ercise and amusement. The grounds along the river, for more than a mile, are the property of the Messrs. Stevens, who permit a free public access to them. From the lawn a shaded gravel walk extends on the ele- vated and rocky bank of the river for about a mile, at the termination of which is a grove, called the Elysian Fields, where a handsome Pavilion has been erected, and from whence is a fine view of the North River and the opposite city. JVehawken Hill is a mile farther north, and is a ro- mantic spot, from whence is an extensive prospect. The place where Gen. Hamilton fell, and many duels have Deen fought, is on the bank of the river, below the hill. Jersey City, opposite New-York, the residence of many persons who transact business in the city, and a location for Lottery Offices, offers but few attractions for visiters. Of the steamboat excursions, among the most pleasant, are those to Staten Island, Shrewsbury, and Amboy, on the south-west; Flushing, New-Rochelle, Sands' Point, Glen Cove, and Oyster Bay, on the East River; Sing Sing, and Tarrytown, on the North River.
