VV. BELL, PRlNTKfl, 17 AiMi-street. INTRODUCTION. In presenting to the public, New-York as it is, in 1837," in connection with the Classified Mercantile Di- rectory, the Publisher has to acknowledge the many fa- vors conferred, and the ready information generally given to make this volume complete. Encouraged by the favours bestowed on our previous attempts to furnish a convenient Manual for Citizens and Strangers, we were induced to render the preseni volume, which is the fourth year of publication, still more useful, by adding a general Classified Directory, which embraces all the principal firms and individuals transacting Mercantile, Profes- sional, or Manufacturing pursuits, in New-York, Brook- lyn, &c., alphabetically arranged under their respective kinds of business. Great care and labour have been bestowed on this work to make it as correct and complete as possible : if errors or omissions have occurred, it will be our earnest endea- vour to render it still more correct and useful in future editions. Persons giving information of errors or omis- sions, will confer a favour on the Publisher. From a perusal of this volume it will appear, that while we are peculiarly favoured by our forms of go- vernment, and with institutions for the relief of both mind and body, under the control of benevolent indivi- duals, which, to be appreciated, want only to be made known — it is to be regretted, that we have also mixing in society, those who appear to have no regard for any thing but their own selfish interests. Prompted either by pride INTRODUCTION. or avarice, they by their sordid conduct, cause distress of both mind and body to thousands of their fellow beings. The sad reverse which the City of New -York, and the country at large has recently experienced, owing to the derangement of our currency, and a too anxious desire to accumulate wealth, ought to teach us a lesson of mo- deration, and cause us, as a people, to avoid a repetition of such evils. Too long has the unfeeling usurer, the greedy speculator, and the selfish politician had the ascen- dancy. Let the poor and the middling classes of society, return to industrious and frugal habits, and learn wisdom from sad experience. With these remarks, the Publisher respectfully sub- mits this volume to the public, hoping it will be founi^ useful, and meet with approbation, New-York, May, 1837. CONTEXTS. tndex.

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 cf Long Island Sound on the north-east, and the Atlantic Ocean on the south. The City Hall is in latitude 40 deg. 4*2 min. 40 sec. north, and longitude 74 deg. 1 min. 8 sec. west, from Greenwich. The City and country are of the same limits, comprising the whole island, which extends from the Battery on the south, to Kingsbridge on the north, 13i miles, or 71,700 feet. The average breadth is 1 mile and 3,220 feet, or 8,500 feet. The greatest breadth is on the line of 88th-street, and If 12,200 feet, or about 2i miles. The area of the island is about 14,000 acres. On the north and east it is separated from Westchester County by Harlasm River, over which are three bridges, namely Harlsem, Macomb's, and King's bridges. The tide flows through this river or strait ; the western termi- nation 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 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, and Great Barn Island, near Hell Gate. 10 DESCRIPTION OP THE CITY AND HARBOUR. HARBOUR, &C. The harbour of New- York ic; safe and commodious, its circumference being about 25 miles, and the largest ves- sels 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 distant 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. ofthe City. The harbour is but seldom obstructed with ice. The difference 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 business is transacted on the east side of the City ; the East River being the most con- venient 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 Hoboken, (New Jersey.) FORTIFICATIONS. The principal fortifications for the defence ofthe 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 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 Government have expended large sums of money on thesr; 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 PUBLIC BUILDINGS. n harbour. The principal fortifications on ihe East River are at Throg's Point, where is situated Fort Schuyler. There are batteries on Bedlow's and Ellis' islands, on the western side of the harbour ; and on Governor's Island, (which is distant 3.200 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, 60i0 feet in circumference, and 60 feet in height, with three tiers of guns. There is also a battery on the south-west side, commanding the entrance through Buttermilk Channel. There are barracks on the island for the accommodation of a considerable num- ber of soldiers. TELEGRAPH. A Telegraph is established on the heights of Staten Island, communicating by signals with, one in the City on Holt's Hotel. DIVISIONS AND GOVERNMENT. The City is divided into 17 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 Mavor is elected annually, in April, (agreeably to an amendment of the constitution,) by the people. POPULATION OF THE CITT OF NEW-YORK, AT DIFFERENT PERIODS DURING THE LAST 100 YEARS.

It is 216 feet in length, by 105 in breadth ; the front and 12 FCBLIC BUILDINGS. ends built of white 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 orders. This edifice was commenced in 1803, and finished in 1812, at the cost of 8538,734, and is occupied as follows : , proper. 20. Clerk City and County. 21. Sheriff's Office. 22. Law Institute. 23.

THE ROTUNDA, Situated in the Park, facing Chambers- street, is now used as the City Post Oflice. THE CITY PRISON, Formerly the Bridewell, is situated west of the City Hall, near Broadway ; the above constitutes all the public buildings in the Park. PENITENTIARY, Situated on Blackwell's Island, is an immense stane edifice, erected a few years since. The main building is four stories high, surmounted by a square tower ; two wings, each extendinj^- upwards of 200 feet from the centre building, are also fcur stories high. The interior is fitted up with rooms for the accommodation of the keepersj workshops in which the prisoners are obliged to labour, and numerous cells; the whole being con- structed in the most substantial and secure manner. ALMS HOUSE. The new Alms House is situated at Bellevue, on the East River, tAvo avd 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 COxMPaNY Have their works located at the corner of Canal and Centre streets, and have at present laid down, in the prin- cipal streets, 26 miles of iron pipes. The public build- ings and stores which are supplied with gas by this Com- pany, pay for the same at the rate of 70 cents per 100 cubic feet consumed. The expense of gas for a store, with four lights, is about $60 per year. (For capital, (fee, see page 155.) 2 14 NEW-YORK AND HARLEM RAIL-ROAD. THE MANHATTAN GAS LIGHT COMPANY WORKS Are located on the North River at the foot of Eighteenth- street. This Company have laid their main pipes through Eighteenth-street, Ninth-avenue, Hudson, Bleecker-street, Sixth-avenue, Waverly-place, Broadway, Bowery, Broome, Centre, and Grand-streets ; and are now laying them through other important streets. (For capital, &c. see page 155.) NEW-YORK AND HARLEM RAILROAD COMPANY. This Company was incorporated in 1831, and has since been so amended that its capital, originallv S350,000, is now SI, 150,000. The route selected for its road is from Prince-street, in the Bowery, through the 4th Avenue, to Harlsem River, with a branch through One hundred and Twenty-fifth- street to Ninth Avenue, and thence to the Hudson River at Manhattan ville landing. The first running of the cars upon this road was in November, 1832, and they travelled no further than Fourteenth-street. In June, 1833, their route was ex- tended to Murray Hill. In May, 1834, the loute was further extended to Yorkville, where it has continued ever since. The number of passengers in the cars down to that date was about 125,000. From May to November, 1834, the number of passengers was 176,000, and the re- ceipts from fare, S16,000. From 1st November, 1834, to 1st November, 1835, the number of passengers was about 400^000, and receipts from fare, 837,000. From the 1st November, 1835, to 1st November, 1836, the number of passengers was about 600,000, and the receipts of fare something above S52,000. In the year ending the 1st January, 1837, the amount of fare was 854,000. When the route shall be extended through the tunnel over the beautiful embankment and bridge constructed to Harlsem, the number of passengers will, probably, greatly increase. The tunnel commences at the southerly side of Ninety- first-street, and terminates at the northerly side of Ninety- fourth-street, and will be, when completed, 844 feet in length, 24 feet wide, and 21 feet high in the centre. Each end of the tunnel will be finished with a handsome stone facing, so as to give it a conspicuous and pleasing appear- SCPPLT OF WATER. 15 ance. The embankment commences at One hundredth- street, and extends to One hundred and sixth-street. This will be a most substantial work, as the whole will be supported by slope walls of dry masonry. At the crossing of the streets there are handsome arched carriage-ways, supported by stone pillars. At the northern termination of the embankment, the bridge commences, extending from One hundred and sixth-street to One hundred and eighth-street. This tunnel is said to be as spacious as any other exca- vation of solid rock made in modern times, not excepting the excavation of the Simplon, made under the Emperor Napoleon ; and the approach to it at both ends through a rock, 52 feet in depth, is an object not less interesting than the tunnel itself. There is scarcely to be found a more beautiful and picturesque scenery in any part of the world, than the view Hell Gate and its neighbourhood presents, in riding over the bridge and embanliment north of the tunnel, at an elevation of thirty feet above the level of the avenue.

SUPPLY OF Water, The City is destitute of a supply of good and whole- some 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 com- fort of the citizens. Th ^ 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 supply of the City, is estimated at over four mil- lions of gallons per day, or 20 gallons for each person, in- cluding manufactories, stables, &c. 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 nu- merous wells, with pumps in all parts of the City ; but the pump water is generally considered bad and deleterious in its character, south of a line from the Hudson River through Spring-street, to the Bower}' and Third Avenue, 16 S;UPPLY OP WATER. and thence to Thirteenth-street and the East River. In the remaining parts of the City, it is generally indif- ferently 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 goodness is but little better than the present well water. The tables of the wealthy are supplied from this source, while the poorer classes have to Tesort to such wells and pumps as are in their neigh- bourhood. 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 con- stantly losing their purity. Many of the large hotels pay from S200 to 450, annually, for water, and the smaller classes of boarding and private houses pay frum $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 129,850 hhds. per year, (8,183,895 gallons,) which at 31 and 50 cents per hogsheads, is $160 per day, or $50,080 paid per year. MANHATTAN WATER WORKS. In 1790 the Manhattan Company v/as incorporated, with a view to supply the City with pure and wholesome water. The charter is perpetual, and the capital over two millions of dollars, (see page 98,) the surplus funds being employed in banking. 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 SUPPLY or WATER. 17 extensive reservoir, %vhich 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 excavated in solid rock ; its bottom is 62 feet below com- mon 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 rises in the well to within 12 foot of the surface of the 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 83i 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 oy curved pipes, of 20 inches diameter. The total cost of the works, exclusive of pipes, was 842,238 ; and the annual expense is S3, 165. From the reservoir, iron pipes, from 6 to 12 inches in diameter, have been laid down through many of the principal streets, to the extent of over 9 miles, or 47,066 feet, at an average expense of about two dollars per foot. (The cost of one^ile mile of pipe, of 12 inches diameter, is SI 1,245.) 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 soutli of the reservoir, or in its vi- cinity. PROPOSED SUPPLY OF WaTER FROM THE CROTON RIVER. Surveys of routes and estimates of the expense of bringing water to the City from the Croton River has been 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 whole- some water," by which the Governor and Senate were authorized to appoint five citizens, to be called " Water Commissioners," who were to examine and consider all matters relating to the subject, causing surveys to be CEMETERIES AND MONUMENTS. made, and adopting such plans as they might deem most advantageous. The said Commissioners have reported in favour of obtaining vv^ater from the Croton River, which has been approved of by the Common Council, and submitted to the voters of the City at the Charter election in 1835 ; 17,330 voted " yes," "and 5,9G3 no," leaving a majority of 11,367 in favour of supplying the City, as proposed, with pure a.id 'wholesome water.''' The stream which can be brought to the City in an aqeduct is estimated to afford a daily supply of 32 millions of gallons. The present demand of the City is probably not more than ten mxillions. The total length of the aqueduct, which it is proposed to construct of mason work, will be about 45 miles, and the estimated expense (ex- clusive of pipes in the City) is about five millions of dollars. CEMETERIES AND MONUMENTS. In 1823, a law was passed to prevent interments south of Gr^nd- street, and a penalty of .i?250 fixed for each vio- lation of the same. Many of the churches have burying grounds and vaults in the upper part of the City, belonging to congregations of different denominations. An extensive cemetery has been laid out on the Fifth Avenue, near the three mile stone, containing ten 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. 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 Sr. Paul's Churchyard, v\^here are also the monuments to Major General Montgomery, and George Frederick Cooke, the celebrated tragedian. In Trinity Churchyard is the monument to Captain James Lawrence, who fell in the contest between the U. S. frigate Chesapeake and the British frigate Shannon, during the last war. MANUPACTURES., 19 MAY DAY, &C. The usual time for moving established by general custom in the City of New- York, is on the first of May. Tenants who intend vacating their premises are required to give the landlords notice the preceding quarter day, the first of February ; then houses are engaged for the ensuing year, to be taken possession of the first of May ; rent generally payable quarterly. To such an extent does this custom extend as to be a great evil, Ma}'- Day being proverbial for confusion, amounting to partial suspension of business. If tenants would insist upon leases for a number of years, the evil, in a measure, would be remedied. Housekeepers are required by the laws of ihe Corpo- ration to abate all nuisances about their premises ; coal, ashes, and dirt of every description is required to be given to carlmen employed by the City authorities ; chimneys are required to be swept every month, or else subject the occupant to fine in case of their taking fire ; side-walks must be kept clean and unobstructed. Sca- vengers and chimney-sweepers are all licensed by the Corporation, and have regular rates of charging esta- blished by law.

The remaining buildings of different descriptions. The above does not include many buildings now in progress, embracing only those which were commenced previous to the 12th September, 1836. STREETS. Several streets have been widened and materially im- proved in appearance during the past year. Beaver- street has been extended through the Burnt District^ in- tersecting Pearl at the corner of Wall-street ; Mill-street has been connected with William-street in the same neighbourhood, and it is proposed to change the name of Mill to South William, Platt-street has been extended from Gold-street to William. Fulton-street has been widened on the south side between Broadway and Gold- street. Gold-street has been widened between Fulton and Frankfort streets. Spruce-street has been widened from Gold-street to Nassau. Chapel-street has been widened between Murray and Franklin streets, and it is proposed to change its name to West Broadvmy. EECEXT LMFRO VF.MEN'TS. 2i NEW-YORK UNIVERSITY, Situatedbetween Washington Place andWaverly Place, fronts Washington Square'towards the west, forming a noble ornament to the city, being built of marble, and exhibits a specimen of the English collegiate style of ar- chitecture. Frontispiece.) This building has just been completed, after a labor of several years; it is one hundred feet wide, and one hun- dred and eighty feet long. In front this oblong is di- vided into five parts — a central building, with wings flanked by towers, one rising on each of the four corners of the edifice. This central building or Chapel is supe- rior to the rest in breadth, height, and character ; and is somewhat similar to that of King's College, Cam- bridge, England ; a masterpiece of pointed architecture, and the model for succeeding ages. It is fifty-five feet broad, and eighty-five feet deep, including the octangular turrets, one of which rises at each of the four corners. The two ends are gabled, and are, as well as the sides, crowned with an embattled parapet. The Chapel will receive its principal light from a window in the western end. This window is twenty-four feet wide, and fifty high. It has eight lights and two embattled transoms. The heads of the lights are cinque- foiled in a plain arch, and the divisions above are quatre-foiled. Over the head of the window is a drip-stone, with plain returns. From the central building, or Chapel, wings project right and left, and are four stories in height, flanked by towers of five, supported by angular buttresses of two stages, running above an embattled parapet, and are at the top themselves embattled. The windows in the wings have square heads, with two lights, a plain transom, and the upper division tre-foiled. The heads of the windows are labelled, and have plain returns. The lower range of windows is set on a tablet, which serves as a base, and the two ranges above are set on strings, which return around the turrets, and stop against the buttresses. The principal entrance is under the great western window, through a richly moulded and deeply recessed portal, flanked by butresses of two stages, the Upper stage set di- agonally,"^ and rising above an embattled parapet. The doors are of oak, richly panneled, and filled with tracery of open workj closely studded with bronze. RECENT IMPROVEMEN'TS. THE BURNT DISTRICT. In the First Ward, bounded by Wall-street, the East River, Coenties-slip, and thence in an irregular line to the corner of William and Wall streets, embraces all the ground burnt over during the great conflagration of Dec. 16 and 17, 1835, when about five hundred stores and dwelling-houses were destroyed, many of them of the first class of buildings. The public buildings destroyed were the Merchants' Exchange and the South Dutch Church ; the other buildings consumed were principally wholesale stores, which contained an immense amount of merchandise, most of which was burnt, amounting in all, including the buildings, to about eighteen millions of dollars. This ground is now nearly all rebuilt on, most of the stores being occupied, many of which are entirely fire- proof, constructed in the most durable manner, princi- pally of brick. UNFINISHED EDIFICES. THE merchants' EXCHANGE, Now erecting in part on the site of the Exchange Building, which was destroyed by fire Dec, 17, 1835, embraces all the ground between Wall, William, Ex- change-place, and Hanover-streets, covering the entire block. The building, when finished, will be of the Grecian Ionic st}'le of architecture, the exterior of which will be constructed of blue Cluincy granite, in the most chaste and durable manner, three stories high, besides the base- ment. In front, on Wall-street, will be a recessed por- tico, with 18 massive columns, 38 feet in height. The interior will be fitted up for a public Exchange Room, which will be 80 feet in diameter, having four recesses, making an extent of 100 feet in depth and breadth ; the room is to be 80 feet in height, surmounted by a dome resting, in part, on eight Corinthian columns of white marble, 41 feet high, and lighted by a skylight 25 feet in diameter. There will also be rooms for the acco3i-modation of public and private offices; the whole to be constructed so as to be entirely fire-proof, under the superintendence of Mr. Isaiah Rogers, the architect of the building. RECENT IMPROVEMENTS. 23 CUSTOM HOUSE. A new Custom House is now erecting on the site of the old one, at the corner of Wall and Nassau streets, ex- tending to Pine-street. The following is a description of the contemplated building. The building is to be 177 feet long, and 89 feet wi^ie ; and the form and order of the building to be similar to that of the Parthenon at Athens. It is to stand on a base- ment story, ascended by nineteen steps from Wall-street, and six steps on Pine-street. There are to be eight Gre- cian doric columns at each front, and fifteen columns and antae on each side attached to the walls. There is also to be a second row of six smaller columns back of and parallel with those of the main front, leaving a space of ten feet between the two rows, and nine feet between the inner row and the front wall of the building. Back of the two extreme columns of lue inner row there are to be two antse, and six antae attached to the walls of the rear front, leaving a space of eight feet and a half between the columns and antae. There will thus be twenty-four out- side columns, five feet eight inches diameter at the bottom, and thirty-two feet high, including the capital, and eigh- teen antae on the two sides of the same height, five feet wide, and three feet -^ine inches projection from the walls. The six inner columns of the main front will be four feet eight inches diameter at bottom, and the antae to corres- pond. The building is to be two stories high, except the great business hall, part of which is to be vaulted as high as the roof will permit, a^id its centre finished with a dome sixty-two feet in diameter. This hall will occupy the centre of the building, and will be one hundred and fifteen feet long, leaving a small vestibule at each end to enter from. It is to be seventy-seven feet wide in the cejUrepart, which is a circle of seventy feet in diameter, with the length and breadth of the room extending be- yond its circumference to these dimensions ; and the four parts so extended beyond the circle are thirty-three and a naif feet wide, leaving six rooms and three circular stair- cases in the four corners, the two largest rooms to be twenty-four by twenty-one feet each, besides a square 24 RECENT IMPROVEMENTS. staircase in the rear, and three vaults for papers at the two ends of each vestibule. The same division of the room is made in the second story. Nearly the same num- ber, shape, and sizes of rooms are had in the basement, as above in the other stories, leaving all the area of the same shape and size as the great hall immediately about it ; with the addition of sixteen fluted doric columns to support the vaulting and the pavement under the dome of the great hall. HALLS OF JUSTICE. This edifice is now in progress of erection, and nearly completed, on an extensive scale, occupying the whole of the block bounded by Leonard, Elm, Franklin, and Centre streets, (formerly the Corporation Yard,) and is 253 feet 3 inches in length, by 200 feet 5 inches in width. The interior combines accommodations for the Courts of Sessions, Police, Grand Jury, House of Detention, Re- cords, City Watch, District Attorney, Sheriff, Clerk of the Court, and other officers belonging to the different branches of the Institution, together with the necessary offices for cooking, washing, watering, warming, &c. The whole designed by Mr. John Haviland. The four Facades, as w^ell as the entrance hall, are executed in the Egyptian style of architecture, with Hal- lowell granite. The principal front has a distyle portico of four co- lumns, with palm-leaved capitals. Above the capitals are square dies, upon which rests the architrave, orna- mented with a large winged globe encircled by serpents. The architrave is surmounted by a cornice, composed of a bold Scotia, enriched with reeded Triglyphs and a banded Torus ; and which, being of the same height with that of the similarly embellished win^s, forms with them one continued line. Moreover, the banded mould- ing of the cornice descends in the form of a roller on all the external angles of the edifice. Both the wings are perforated with five lofty windows, extending the height of two stories, and finished with diminished pilasters, which support a cornice over each, composed simply of a bold Scotia, enriched with a winged globe and serpents. The lateral fronts on Leonard and Franklin streets have each two projecting Pylones or Porches, v/ith two RECENT IMPROVEMENTS, 25 columns : the one on Leonard- street adjoining the prin- cipal front, is the entrance to the Debtors' ward, and the opposite one on Franklin-street is the entrance to the Police ward ; the other two corresponding porches next to Elm-street, form the carriage entrances to the House of Detention. These porches are 54 feet wide, and their columns and entablatures correspond with those of the principal front, but the caps and shafts of the columns are less enriched. The recess in both these lateral fronts is six feet, and is relieved by five windows corresponding in character with those of the principal front, but of less proportion and enrichment, the Scotia being finished with reeded Triglyphs only, instead of the winged glebe and serpents. The approach to the windows on these fronts is guarded against by a neat railing in keeping with the architecture. The rear or front on Elm-street having no entrance or windows, is simply relieved by seven narrow recesses in imitation of embrasures, and a railing in the same style as those on the lateral fronts. A terrace surrounds the whole inclosure, raised ten feet above the level of Centre-street, from which you ascend eight steps of a truncated and pyramidal form, to the platform of the portico, from which you ascend also twelve steps, between the intercolumniation of the rear columns to the entrance hall. This hall is 50 feet square and 25 feet high, Svpported by eight columns, ranged be- tween two rows with their antse placed on the opposite walls. These columns bear the character or an order taken from the colonnade of the temple of Medynet Abou. Attached to the antes opposite these columns, the architect originally designed to place the Eg}^ptian caviatides, so highly spoken of by the French artists in Napoleon's great work on Egypt, published by Pauc- konche ; and he feels assured that the Board will yet be of his opinion, and finally adopt these splendid and im- posing figures in this entrance hall, as nothing else will be wanting to perfect the edifice ; their capitals are orna- mented with the leaves and flowers of the Lotus. The floors are arched and laid in mosaic of an Eg}'ptian character, governed in form by the compartments in the ceiling to which each belongs. ■ The principal courts, jury, witness, and other business rooms, are connected with, and leading into the entrance 26 RECENT IMPROVEMENTS. hall. On the left side are doors and passages commu- nicating with the grand jury room, offices for register, clerk of the court, district attorney, and sheriff, debtors' ward and witness rooms ; and on the right side are dis- posed the magistrates' offices, court, and witness rooms,, watchmen's dormitories, police court, officers' rooms,, and cells for nightly commitments. The centre leads to the court of sessions, (including two jury rooms, and se- parate gallery capable of containing an audience ol 300 persons;) the whole well ventilated and lighted, and in a situation the least liable to be disturbed by the noise of the adjoining streets. The Court of Sessions is connected with the House of Detention^ and has external galleries of communication with every part of the building, indepencfent of the public thoroughfares. The House of Detention is a distinct and isolated build- ing, 142 feet in length by 45 in width. It contains 148 cells, divided into four distinct classes for prisoners, in- cluding baths, and rooms for male and female, white and black, vagrants. The lower cells are 6 feel 9 inches wide, 11 feet high, and 15 feet long, diminishing 18 inches in length in each story ; they are provided with cast iron water closets, hydrant, water cock, ventilators, and are warmed by Perkins' hot water pipes, (introduced and now in successful operation in the new Peniten- tiaries at Philadelphia and Trenton, by J. Haviland, ar- chitect.) The floors, and ceilings, and galleries are formed of slabs from the North River flagging ; the doors and window jambs of iron j and the entire cells are other- wise finished on the most approved plan for security, se- clusion, ventilation, economiy of supervision and watch- ing. The corridors are ten feet wide below, and widen at each story to 19 feet at the summit, affording a free ventilation and uninterrupted view of every cell door, from the observatory. A bridge leads across from the House of Detention to the prisoners' seat in the court- house. By reference to the specifications and drawings, it will be seen that every part of the building is calcu- lated to be executed in the most substantial and approved manner, with the best materials of their kind ; and that no. pains or expense is spared to effect all the desired ob- RECENT IMPROVEMENTS, 21 jects of the Institution, with the aid, experience, and best talent that the country affords. The building is generally fire proof by ceilings and floors of arched masonry. The site on which the building is erecting, is formed of made ground, ever}" precaution having been used to a^ender the foundation secure by the introduction of iron ties, inverted arches, and heavy timbering. The whole area was excavated several feet below the water level, large timbers were placed together, and range timbers at right angles with these laid several feet wider than the respective walls. Lastly, the whole superstructure to the roof has been erected during the past season, afibrding it sufficient time to come to its proper bearing. The several stories of the House of Detention with their weighty stone floors, have been completed some time, without showing any appearance of cracks or partial settlement. BROOKLYN CITY-HAlyL, Now erecting, is situated at the intersection of Fulton, Court, and Joralemon streets, occupying an entire block, forming a scalene triangle of 269 feet on Fulton-street, 250 on Court-street, and 222 on Joralemon-street. The exterior of the bu'Ming is to be constructed of marble, and to have porticoes on the three fronts, with columns 36 feet 6 inches high, ornamented with capitals of the Grecian order, from the design of the Tower of the Winds^ resting on a pedestal base, 17 feet high, which when finished, will be 62 feet fium the ground to the top of the cornice. The angles are to be surmounted by domes, and rising from the centre of the building, will be a tower 125 feet high, which will be enriched with a cor- nice and entablature, supported with cor}^atides standing on pedestals. The whole will have a most splendid and imposing appearance, when finished. The interior will be finished in the most chaste and durable style of architecture, calculated to accommodate the diflferent public offices, courts, &c., attached to the City of BrookljTi. The whole arrangement is under the direction and superintendence of Mr. C. Pollard, the architect of the building. S8 CITY OFFICERS. MAYORS OF THE CITY OF NEW- YORK.

The Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane is pleasantly situaied near the banks of the Hudson River, distant seven miles from the city, and has attached to it forty a.cres of land, laid out in gardens, pleasure grounds, gra- vel walks, and farm lots, well adapted to the unfortunate inmates. The building is erected on one of the most elevated MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS 61 and healthy sites on the Island, and sufficiently retired for the comfort and convenience of the patients. These are under the immediate superintendence of a skilful physician, who has devoted a number of years to this particular branch of medical science, and has visit- ed the various lunatic establishments inEngland, France and Italy; examining the condition of the patients, and inquiring minutely into the mode of treatment pursued therein. The ordinary affairs of the house are managed by a warden and matron, and a suilicient number of kind and careful nurses, are always ready to attend to the wants and comforts of the patients. The whole establishment is under the general direc- tion of a Committee taken from and appointed by the Board of Governors of the INew-York Hospital. They, for the information of those who may be desirous of en- trusting to the charge of this institution such of their friends as they think may be benefitted thereby, embrace this opportunity of stating, that, in all cases, before a pa- tient can be received into the house, an order for admis- sion must be obtained from two magistrates, who require for this purpose, the .j.?stimony of two credible witnesses, that the insane person is not fit to go at large. This order must be presented to one of the undersign- ed, who will arrange for the board of the patient, the price of which varies according to circumstances; and will then give directions for his or her reception. It is particularly requested that those who apply may, if practicable, come possessed with a history of the pa- tient, and the immediate cause of the disease. The ground on which the buildings are located, is elevated one hundred and fifty feet above the Hudson River, and from the cupola is a fine prospect of the Island, the North and East Rivers, and the adjacent country for fifty miles. The principal edifice is of stone, three storses high, 210 feet long, and 60 feet wide. The cost of the whole was over ^200,000. The numbers in the hospital report, given above, are exclusive of the maniac patients, of whom 121 have been admitted into the Bloomingdale Asylum, and, with 144 remaining on the 31st December, 1835, make 265 who 02 MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS, have received the benefit of the Asylum during the past year. Out of the patients above enumerated, 66 have been cured, 26 have been discharged improved, 16 others at the request of their friends ; 14 have died; one eloped, and 142 remained in the Asylum at the close of the year. Two hundred persons can be accommodated at the Asylum. The charges are from $2 toSlO per week, for board, &c. No free patients are admitted. Applica- tion for admission of lunatics must be made at the New- York Hospital, Broadway, where information can also be obtained, respecting the proper time and days, for visiting this interesting Institution.

(Now located on Staten Island, near New Brighton.) Founded in 1801, by Capt. Robert R. Randall, who de- vised his real estate and Mansion House, at the Sand Hill, Broadway, (now Eighth and Ninth streets,) to sup- port an Asylum for aged and infirm seamen. The Trustees named by him are the Mayor and Re- corder of New-York, the Presidents of the Chamber of Commerce^ and of the Marine Society, the senior m^iis- 88 RKLIGIGUS, BENEVOLENT, AND ter of the Episcopal Church, and of the Presbyterian Church in Wall-street. The Trustees applied for an act of incorporation, which was granted in 1H06 ; but the in- tentions of the donor were not carried into effect till a few years since, when inquiries were instituted by the Legis- lature. In 1830 and 1831, the whole of the Sailor's Snug Harbour estate, from Broadway to the Fifth Avenue, and Washington Square, was leased out in house lots for twenty-one years. With the income of these rents, the Trustees have purchased a farm of nearly one hundred and fifty acres of fine land, on the north side of Stateu Island, half a mile west of Nevv^-Brighton ; they have erected a large and convenient building, 65 feet by 100, where fifty or sixty disabled seamen find a snug harbor for life, with every want supplied, and laboring only enough for their health and comfort. The building com- mands a fine view of the Bay of New- York, the Hudson River, and Newark Bay, and the Philadelphia steamboats pass it daily. The whole of the Sailor's Snug Harbor property is now supposed to b3 worth a millioxi of dollars. The Trustees of this Institution report to the Legisla- ture that their receipts during the vear 1836 amounted to S52,702 58, and their expenditures"' to 850,766 19. Their income from rents for 1837 they estimate at $33,265. AMERICAN seamen's FRIEND SOCIETY. (Formed, January, 1826.")

NEW-YORK INSTITUTION FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF THE DEAF AND DUMB. (Incorporated, April, 1S17.) This institution commenced operations under its char- ter, by opening a school for the reception of pupils on the 12ch day of May. 1818. Until the spring of 18*29, the school \\-as held in the building now called the ]S'ew City Hall. At that time the pupils were transferred to a large building erected for the purposes of the institution, on Fiftieth- street and the Fourth Avenue, three and a half miles from the City Hall. Communication between the Institution and the city is rendered ver^'easy, by the cars which pass on the Harlaem Rail Road, (Fourth Avenue,) every fifteen or twenty minutes in both direc'.ions. The principal building occupied for the purposes of the Institution, is one hundred and ten feet by sixty, in the dimensions of its plan, and five stories in height, includ- ing the basement. It accommodates, with some inconve- nience, the number of pupils (about one hundred and sixty) which the Institution embraces at present : with the teachers, the family of the Principal, and such other per- sons as are needed to cxssist in conducting the afiairs of the establishment. The original charter of the Institution being about to expire by limitation on the first day of April, 1837, it was extended by the Legislature, in the spring of 1836, for a period of twenty-five years. The number of pupils who were members of the Insti- tution in 1836, was one hundred and ninety-seven; the ac- tual number present on the first day of Januar}'. 1837, was one hundred and sixty. One hundred and twenty of these are supported at the expense of the State of New- York, seven at the expense of the State of N^ew- Jersey ; four by the city authorities, one by the Supervisors of the county of Dutchess, five by the funds of the Institution, and the rest by their parents or friends. 90 RELIGIOUS, BENEVOLENT, AND OFFICERS.

The total number of admissions into the Institution to January 1, 1837, was 488. In May, 1836, the Central Asy- lum for the Deaf and Dumb at Canajoharie was closed, and the pupils transferred to the New- York Institute. The otal number of admissions at Canajoharie, was 149. Total of both Institutions 637. Of these, 117 have been members of both schools, or more than once admitted to the same. Whence the number of deaf-mutes who have been under instruction in the State, to January 1, 1837, was 520. Of these, 283 were males, and 238 females: Lewis Seymour, Timothv Hedges, Rev. J. F.

MORAL INSTITUTIONS. 91 193 were bora deaf; 201 became deaf by disease, or acci- dent early in life ; of 117 the causes of their deafness are unknown ; and 9 were b3th deaf from birth, and incapable of intellectual improvement. There are at present one hundred and forty schools for the deaf and dumb in the v\"orld. There are five in Ame- rica, viz. one in Hartford, Conn. ; one in Philadelphia, Penn. ; one in Columb is, Ohio ; one in Danville, Ky. ; and the New- York Institution, New-York city. Of these the New- York Institution is considerably the largest. There are two larger institutions only of the kind in Eu- rope, viz. the Insiiiuiion of London, containing 230 pupils, and the Royal Institution of Paris, containing 175. The National Institution at Groningen, Holland, contains the same number as that in New- York, viz. 160. According to the census of 1835, the number of per- sons deaf and dumb in the State of New- York, was 1070, or one to every 2029 individuals. There is great reason, from various facts in possession of the Institution, to sus- pect the accuracy of the returns. A more just estimate of the deaf mute population of the State would be, at the smallest computation, 1200, probably 1300. The least number named would give one deaf mute to 1800 persons. The proportion in Europe is about one to 1550 ; tnrough- out the world one to 1500. ORPHAN ASYLUM. (Situated at BloomingdaJe. Founded in 1807.) Thirty years have elapsed since this charitable institu- tion commenced its labours ; and during that period of time there have been admitted 931 children; of whom 411 boys have been apprenticed to mechanics and farm- ers, 273 girls to trades, and as servants in private families, and 81 have died. Thirty is about the average number 3''early bound out, and about the same number is yearly leceived. Present number of children in the Asylum is 173. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Mrs. Gen.

Auxiliary to the American Colonization Society, in con- veying to Africa, with their own consent, the free colour- ed persons of the United States. There are now established along the western coast of Africa, by American ^philanthropists, four distinct Colo- nies, supposed to contam nearly ten thousand inhabitants. In these are included the villages of Monrovia, Caldwell,. Millsburgh, Marshall, and New^Georgia, which are im- inedi?»tely under the supervision of the Parent Society at Washington. The next settlement in order along the coast is Edina, situated near to the River St. Jobn^s, and probably about sixty miles south of Monrovia, This co- * olBcio, Directors 9f the Firemen's Insurance Companj. MORAL INSTITUTIONS. 97 lony was founded by the Parent Society several years since, and has been subject to their jurisdiction until De- cember last, when it was ceded, with the consent of the inhabitants, to the associated Colonization Society of New York and Pennsylvania. The colony at Bassa Cove is situated within a few miles south of Edina, and was planted in October, 1824, under the united patronage of the Societies of Pennsylvania and New- York, and is re- inforced by expeditions sent alternately each year by these institutions. The location at Bassa Cove, whether we regard fertilit}^ of soil, or salubrity of climate, or the com- modiousness of its harbour, is not perhaps inferior to any other on the coast of Africa ; and it is expected that the contemplated college or high school will be erected in that vicinity. Cape Palmos lies on the margin of the ocean, in a southern direction, about two hundred and twenty miles from Monrovia. The colony at this Cape was founded by the Colonization Society of the State of Maryland, and they mention in their last annual report that " three years since this spot was a wilderness, with untutored savages for its inhabitants, and that it is now the boast of the western coast." The Colonization Society of Missouri have recently purchased an intermediate territory be- tween Bassa Cove an-? Cape Palmas, at the River Sinon, and expect to send out their first expedition early in April ; the Society of the State of Louisiana is making similar arrangements, and each Association has resolved to appropriate twenty thousand dollars a year, for five years, in sustaining their respective settlements ; and the Colonization Society of Virginia, at their anniversary in January last, adopted a resolution to establish, "as soon as suitable funds can be obtained," a colony of their own, to be called New- Virginia. In these various establishments there are now about twenty missionaries, either coloured or white, Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians, and Presbyterians. There are also schools established in every settlement for the educa- tion of the children, both of the colonies and natives, and various printing presses. The inhabitants at the different stations are now turning their attention to the cultivation of the soil, and are represented in general as temperate, industrious, orderly, and rapidly advancing in improve- ment, intellectual and moral. At the various settlements 9 98 RELIGIOUS, BENEVOLENT, AND a large proportion of the colonists are professors of reli- gion, connected with different denominations of Chris^ tians, and are members of the Temperance Society, on the principle of entire abstinence. A weekly mail was established during the last autumn to run between Bassa Cove and Monrovia. William A. Duer, President. Gardiner Spring, D. D.,^ Nathan Bangs, D. D., j John W.

While it admits that each s'ate, in which slavery exists, has, by the Constitution of the IJnited States, the exclu- sive right to legislate m regard to its abolition in said state, it shall aim to convince all our fellow-citizens, by argu- ments addressed to their understandings and consciences, that slave-holding is a heinous crime in the sight of God, and that the duty, safety, and best interests of all con- cerned, require its immediate ahandonment^ without expa- triation. The Society will also endeavor, in a constitu- tional way, to influence Congress to put an end to the domestic slave-trade, and to abolish slavery in all those portions of our common country, which come under its control, especially in the District of Columbia, and like- wise to prevent the extension of it to any state that may be hereafter admitted to the Union." It has nine state, and about one thousand minor auxili- 100 RELIGIOUS, BENEVOLENT, AND aries. The business of the Society is conducted by an Executive Committee located in New- York. Its periodi- cal publications are the Emancipator, issued weekl)^, the Human Rights and Anti-Slavery Record, monthly, and the Anti-Slavery Magazine, quarterly. Publishing Agent, R. G. Williams.

THE AMERICAN THEATRE. (Bowery, between Bayard and Walker streets.) Was erected in 1826, and opened October 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 August, 1828. Again burnt down Sept. 22, 1836 ; rebuilt and finished, January, 1837. The new building is one of the finest specimens of Doric architecture in the City ; the front being constructed after the model of the Temple of Mi- nerva at Athens. The interior is elegant, and fitted up in a superior style. The building is 75 feet front on the Bowery, and the depth to Elizabetli-street is 175 feet ; height of the building to the cornice, 58 feet. The Pit extends under the Boxes, and is capable of containing 300 persons more than that of Drury Lane, London ; the dome and proscenium are all practicable, and can be lowered in half an hour ; the side proscenium, including the balcony boxes, are so constructed that, by a piece of ingenious machinery, they can in an instant be moved back so as to throw open the entire stage for pro- cessions, &c. Prices of admission — Boxes, 75 cents ; Pit, 37J cents ; Gallery, 25 cents. W. Dinneford, Manager. FRANKLIN THEATRE. (175 Chatham- street.) This Theatre, recently erected, was first opened in' 1835.

Prices of admission — Boxes, 50 cents , Pit, 25 cents. MUSEUMS. AMERICAN Ml'SEUM. (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 nas arose to its present high standing. It continues daily to improve in every department, by extensive and valuable additions of the works of Nature and artificial curiosities, from all parts of the world. Its immense col- lections are well arranged and beautifully displayed in four spacious Saloons, each one hundred feet in length ; in addition to which another apartment has recently been added of still larger dimensions. 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 continuance of that liberal and distinguished patronage it has always received. The building is very high, and from its ob- 226 EATHS. servatory 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 even- ing 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 Nature. Admittance, 25 cents — children, half price. peale's museum and gallery of 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 Pron, together with Portraits of at least 150 celebrated citzens 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 interest in the establishment, but it would be unjust to the enterprising proprietor, not to name the Eg}^ptian Mummy, the tatooed head of a New Zealand Chief, and the living Anaconda, all of which 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. BATHS. The principal Baths, for the accommodation of strangers and citizens, are the following : Arcade Bath, 39 Chambers-street. Washington Bath, 533 Pearl-street. Besides many others of less note. FASHIONABLE RESORTS. 227 The sea water Baths are conveniently arranged, and are much frequented during warm weather. The prin- cipal Baths are at the Battery, and near Murray-street, on the North River. FASHIONABLE RESORTS. 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-w^est 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 Ciiy. The nu- merous ships, steamboats, and small vessels, that are 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. " I 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 l:)vely 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 form of a ores- 228 FASHIONABLE IlESOKTS. 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 baunds 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- 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 an awning, has been constructed, from whence a fine view of the harbour and adjacent scenery is obtained. Within the walls over ten thousand people may be accommodated, and concerts and fire worts 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 exhibit- ed ; 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. FAVOURITE EXCURSIONS. 229 NIBLO'S GARDEN, (Corner of Broadway and 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, &c. The walks are bordered with shrubbery and flow- ers in great variety. Fire works are occasionally exhi- bited; and in the saloon, which is avery tasteful and airy building, theatrical and musical entertainments are given. OTHER PUBLIC GARDENS. 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 Corlaer's Hook. FAVOURITE EXCURSIONS ON THE ISLAND OF NEW-YORK AND ITS YICINJTY. Harlem and Yorkville ; the conveyance to the above places on the island of New-York, are both frequent and reasonable, either by the Macadamized road on the Third Avenue, or on the Rail-road. The Harlaem Rail-road, commences in the Bo'very, near Prince-street, and runs along the Fourth Avenue to Harlaem, a distance of 7^ miles. Cars run on it constantly, stopping whenever any of the passengers wish to get out ; usual fare, 12^ cents. Bloomingdale and Manhatt^nville, on the Island, are also places of great attraction ; the roads are good, and besides private conveyances, stages leave the Bowery, corner of Bayard*street, several times a day for both of the above places. Islands, contiguous to New-York, and under the juris- diction of the City authorities are Governor's, Bedlow's, and Ellis's Islands, in the Hudson River, included in the First Ward of the City, all of which belong to the United States' government, and are occupied for military pur- poses. Blackwell's, Great Barn, and Randell's Island, in the East River, forming part of the- Twelfth Ward. 230 FAVOURITE EXCURSIONS. Blackwell's Island belongs to the city, on which is situ- ated the Penitentiary. HoBOKEN, New- Jersey, opposite New-York^ where the North River is about a mile and a half wide^ is a fa- vourite 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 6J cents. Near the ferry is a public house, in front of which is a fine lawn, where seats are 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 — north 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. Steven'i, who permit a free public access to them. From the lawn a shaded gravel walk extends on the elevated 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 ha.-^ been erected, and from whence is a fine view of the North River and the opposite city. An excavntion has recently been made in the solid rock under the bluff about one mile north of Hoboken, near the river, which attracts considerable attention, il is appropriately named the SybiVs Cave. Bull's Ferry, 6^ miles, and Fort Lee, 10 miles north of the City, on the Jersey shore, are both much frequent- ed during the summer months ; Steamboats leave for the above places almost hourly, from the foot of Canal-street, afibrding a cheap and pleasant excursion. City of Brooklyn. From Brooklyn Heights, which overlooks the East River, and part of the City of New- York, is one of the most stirring views imaginable — the junction of the North and East Rivers, the fortified Islands in the vicinity, and the shipping in the harbour, are all in full view. The United States Navy Yard is on the east side of Brooklyn, on the Wallabout Bay; where visitors can easily obtain admission. Brooklyn, although not pos- sessing many attractions to the stranger, is fast increas- ing in wealth and numbers ; the increase in real estate FAVOURITE EXCURSIONS, 231 within the last iew years is unparalleled. The whole of the unsettled part of the city is about being surveyed and laid out into streets and avenues similar to the Island of New-York. The Long-Island Rail-road commences at Brooklyn, and, wlien finished, will extend to Greenport, a distance of about 100 miles. The village of Williamsburgh, in the town of Bush- wick, Long Island, is siiuaied on the East River, (950 yards wide.) opposite < 'orlaer's Hook, and has intercourse with the city of New-York by ferries from the foot of Grand-street and Peck-slip. It*^is fast becoming a place of importance, being contiguous to New-York and Brooklyn. At present there are noi many attractions for strangers or citizens as a place of resort, but it is susceptable of great improvements. Stages start twice a day for Newtown and Flushing, and the turnpike to Jamaica, leaves the village from North Second-street, Flatbush, five miles from New-York, is a delightful place of residence ; it is the seai. of Erasmus Hall Acade- my, and Avas the scene of a sanguinary battle between the British and Americans in 1716. The spirit of im- provement has, in the rapid progress it is now making, reached this delightful spot — a softer landscape than it presents is rarely met with. Its surface is an inclined plane, fifty feet above the level of the ocean, to which it has a regular and gradual descent. The air about it is tempered by the sea I'reeze, and its salubrity is almost proverbial. Fort Hamilton, situated at the Narrows, is also a de- lightful place of residence ; being in sight of the ocean, it commands a view of all the shipping leaving and enter- ing the harbour of New-York. Bath, in the town of New-Utrecht, Long Island, nine miles south of Brookhn, 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. This is the nearest watering place to New York; new accommodations have recently been erected which are within a short distance of the beach, and com- mand a most beautiful prospect of the ocean. At Coney Island, which is three miles from Bath, and is joined to Long Island by abridge across a narrow inlet, 232 FAVOURITE EXCURSIONS. is a fine beach for bathing, with a public house, and other conveniences. A rail-road is attached to the establish- ment, with cars leaving the hotel for the beach, a dis- tance of eighty rods, every few minutes, during the sum- mer season. The bathing at this place is not surpassed by any in the United States. The beach is white and hard. Jamaica, on Long Island, is a beautiful and flourishing town ; having a village of the same name, eleven miles from Brooklyn, which is a place of importance, being the county town for Clueen's County, and connected with Brooklyn by a rail-road, now in successful operation. The Long Island Rail Road, when completed, will make a continual road to Greenport, L. I., a distance of about one hundred miles. The Union Race Course is situated at the west end of Jamaica, about seven miles from Brook- lyn, between the turnpike and Rail-road, and is a place of great attraction during the spring and fall races. Eight miles from Jamaica is RocKAWAY, on the Atlantic Ocean, 20 miles from New- York. This is a favourite resort for sea bathing ; the fine beach affording great advantages for that purpose. A splendid hotel (the Marine Pavilion) has been recently erected at this place; it is 230 feet in front, 3 stories in height, with two wings, and two magnificent piazzas; the front one extending the whole length of the mansion, 20 feet in width, ornamented with 28 Grecian 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, and the numerous shipping passing Sandy Hook, to and from the Harbour of New- York. Statkn Island has long been a favourite place of re- sort. Steamboats leave several times during the day, from Whitehall-dock, and from piers No. 1 and 4, north side of the Battery, for the Quarantine Ground, Tomp- kinsville, New Brighton, and other places on the island.
