II. Ludwig, Pnnl^r, 70 &, 72 Vesey-st. PREFACE.

The success which attended the publication of tlie first volume of

this little work, has induced the Publisher to issue the present with

a determination to gratify, if possible, any reasonable expectation of

the Public in regard to it. And in order to vary the subjects referred to on these pages, a large portion of the matter contained in the

former issue is omitted in this, and other, perhaps that which will

prove even more useful, has been substituted in its stead. The intention was to have changed, materially, the character of this work the present season ; but, the calamitous and ever-to-be- remerabered fire in July, has rendered the execution of the plan at this time, inexpedient. Several suggestions have been received respecting the insertion of

information in this publication, which, it was supposed, would make it more interesting and valuable. Such hints are ever welcome, and if not in every case adopted, the friendly spirit which dictates their communication, is, nevertheless, fully appreciated. To the kind regards of the citizens of New-York, as well as to the friendly consideration of all strangers who may visit the Great

Metropolis, this little volume is now most respectfully submitted by THE PUBLISHER.

The Battery.

The Battery at the soiitliern end of the city, is situated at the junction of Hudson and East Rivers. It is in the form of a crescent, containing about 11 acres of ground, laid out wiih grass plots and gravelled walks, shaded wiiii trees. From this spot is a fine view of the bay, its islands, and the adjacent shores of New Jersey, and Long and Staten Islands. The scene is generally enlivened by shipping under sail. The Park. The Park, called in early times the Commons, is a triangular area of about lOi acres, lying between Broadway, Chatham and Cham- bers streets, is laid out with walks, and planted with trees, and surrounded by an iron fence, which cost over ^15,000. It contains the City Hall, the new City Hall or old Alms House, and the Rotunda, now occupied by the New-York Gallery of tlie Fine Arts. It has also, towards its southern part, a public fountain, within a basin, about 100 feet in diameter, which has a variety of jets, which are occasionally changed. When the water is thrown in a single stream, it ascends to the height of about 70 feet, presenting a m-jjestic and interesting appearance. The fountain is designed to be made yet more ornamental. The BowUng Green. The Bowling Green, at the southern termination of Broadway, is an elliptical area, 220 feet long and 140 feet broad, enclosed by an iron fence. It existed before the American Revolution, and formerly contained a leaden statue of George III., which was converted into bullets at that period. It contains a public fountain, which is supplied by the Cioton waterworks. In the centre of a large basin is placed a rude pile of huge rocks in a somewiiat circular form, about I 15 feet in diameter, and i-.s many feet high, and from the top issues a jet, with small jets around it, and presents, by the water pouring and tumbling down the sides of the rocks, a wild and picturesque appearance.

Hudson Square, or St. John's Park. Hudson Square, or St. John's Park, between Beach, Laight, Var- ick, and Hudson streets, is private property, belonging to Trinity Church, but has been reserved as a permanent public square. It is beautifully laid out with walks, shaded with trees, and surrounded by an iron fence, which cost $26,000. It contains about four acres of ground, has a public fountain, and is, perhaps, the most ornamental spot in the city. Washington Square. Washington Square, a mile and a half north of the City Hall, be-

tween Wooster and MI )ouga I streets, contains about li| acres of ground. Two thirds of the area was the Potter's Field until 1827, and the remainder was purchased by the city for about $78,000, and the whole was enclosed by a wooden fence, which cost nearly $3,000. It is laid out in walks, and planted with trees. Union Place. Union Place, at the northern termination of Broadway is in an elli|itical form, enclosed with a fine iron fence, having a public fountain in the centre with ornamental jets, and is a delightful breathing- place to the inhabitants. Farther up the city are other public squares, as Madison Sijuare, Hamilton Square, and others, not yet DESCRIPTION OF NEW-YORK. 55

The cheapest and most convenient niode of vi.siting the Distribut- ing Reservoir in Forlielli-street, or the Receiving Reservoir in Eighty- sixth street, is by the cars of the Harlem Rail Ro:ui, wliich leave the Depot, at the junction of Chatham and Centre streets, opposite tlie City Hall, every 15 minutes during the day. Extent of the supphj of water.—Tim minimum flow of water* in the river, where tlie dam is constructed, is considered to l)e twenty- seven millions of gallons for every twenty-four hours, which would be a suthcient supply for one million of inhabitants. It is considered that the supply for the present is abundant, even during a season of drought, for one million and a half of inhabitants, nearly five times

the present population ; and other streams can be turned into the Croton, if the time ever arrives when the population of the city will require an increased supply. Velocity of tlie water. —The velocity of the water in the aqueduct has been ascertained to be atjout one mile and a lialf an hour where it is two feet deep. The Dam— is 250 feet long, 70 feet wide at bottom, and 7 feet at top, and 40 feet high, built of stone and cement. It creates a pond five miles long, covering a surface of 400 acres, and contains 500,(100,0(10 gill Ions of water. The ^1i/u(duct proceeds from the dam, sometimes tunneling through S(jlid rocks, crossing valleys by embankments, and brooks by culverts, until it readies Harlem river, a distance of 33 miles. It

is built of stone, brick, and cement, arched over and under, si.\' feet

I three inches wide at bottom, seven feet eight inches at the top of the side walls, and eight feel five inches high, has a descent of thir- teen and a quarter inches per mile, and will discharge si.\ty millions of gallons in twenty four hours. Aqueduct Bridge at Harlan River.—The Aqueduct will cross Harlem river on a magnilicent bridge of atone, 1,450 feet long, with 14 piers, 8 of ihem 80 feet span, and 7 of 50 feet span, 114 feet above tide water at the top, and will cost $000,000. This bridge is in pro-

gress ; and for the present the water is brought across the river in an iron pipe, laid as an inverted syphon. The Receiving Reservoir— Is at Eighty-sixth-street, 38 miles from the Croton Dam, covers 35 acres, and contains 150 millions of gallons. The Distributing Reservoii—at Fortieth-strpet, about three miles from the City Hall, constructed with stone and cement, covers four acres, and is 43 feet high above the street, is .30 feet deep when full of water, and holds 20 millions of gallons. Thence the water is distributed in the city in iron pipes, laid deep under groimd, to be secure j froni frost. A section of the wall on one side of the Reservoir, including the embankment, is 17 feet wide at the top, 35 feet wide at the distance of 16 feet below the top, and "JO feet wide at the bottom. An iron railing bounds the outside and inside of the walk around the top. This Reservoir may be considered the termination of the Croton Aqueduct, and is distant from the Fountain Reservoir at the Croton, forty and a half miles.

Estimated Cost.— It was at first estimated th:it it would cost five or six millions of dollars; and at the city charter election of I83.'>. the citizens were required to vole for or against supplying the city in 56 DESCRIPTION OF NEW-YORK. this way. The whole number of votes given was 17,330, of whom 5,yt)3 were against it, and 1 1,307 in favor of it. Cost of th^ fVork —Extent of Pipe laid.—^I'he whole cost of the vvoik will be about $14,000,000. I'Jiere are laid between the Dis- tributing Reservoir in Fortieth street, and the Battery, 150 miles and 3,G65 feet of pipe, from 6 to 36 inches in diameter, the majority of wliich is from 6 to 12 inches in diameter ; and free hydrants are oppned in most of the streets, besides the fire hydrants. There are

1400 fire, and GOO free hydrants. ' Introducing of the IVater.—The water was introduced into this Reservou- on the 4ih July, 1842, and on the 14th of October following, llie water was introduced into the city. Analysis of the Croton fVater.—CroUm water, taken from the Croton Dam, when perfectly clear, was found to contain 4.908, or about ^«e grains of solid matter to the gallon. Schuylkill water, taken from the middle basin, on Fairmount, (Philadelphia,) contained 4. US grams ol solid mitter to the gallon. Influence of ihc introduction of the Croton Water on the Rates of '^. Insurance —The tnx t(i defray the interest of the Croton Water Debt is 20 cents on the 100 dollars, and the average reduction on the rates

of insurance is at least 40 cents on the 100 dollars. In illustration ; of the above, the Board mention the following :— One wlio [lays j| water rent for near forty houses, relates the result of a calculation

j he made, viz. : He compared the rate of insurance he paid on this j property previous to the introduction of Croton water, with the rate jj he pays at present, and added to it the Croton water lax, and sub- traciing the two lastfioni liie first, the result is a clear saving of 25 percent. Another states, that he insures on his stock 30,000 dollars; previous to the i itroduction of the water he paid 85 cents on the 100 dollars ; he now pays for the same property 35 cents on the hundred dollars, a saving of 150 dollars. If he paid tiie Croton water t.ix on the above amount, it would be 60 dollars, leaving a nettgiiin of 90 dollars. Receipts and Expenditures for 1845.— According to the annual Report of the Croton Aqueduct Board for lf^4.5, the receipts for the year ending 30ih April, 1845, were $1 I8,.i82 74 ; and the expenditure for the same period, $73,41 1 78. t'iiice the last annual report, there have been laid three miles of pipe, very little more being required within the piesent water district. Fronr the 1st of Way io the 21 si of July, 52 days, there was received for water $ I06,9ii4 04. In a corresponding period last year, the amount was $79,294 15, showing an increase in favor of the present ye.ir of $27,669 S9, in 52 days. At this rate, it is calculated that the whole revenue for the year will ni>t be short of Si 160,000, and the annual increase will be equal to 35 per cent., or $-11,417 26. JSTumber of Permits issued. —The whole number of Permits issued, to the first day of May, 1845, was 9,110. representing 9.582 water takers; being an increase of 2,225 since the 1st of »VJay, 1844. The discrepancy between the number of permits and the number of water takers, arises Oom a number of houses, steamboats, &.C., being included in one permit. The revenue to be derived from the above named number of water takers, for the full year, may be stated at $131,7h'4 55, divided as follows:— 7,171 private dwellings, $72,123 88 ; 2,411 miscellaneous, comprising manufacturing, mechanical, and other purposes, $5J,6uO 67.

Tlie City Hall, lierelofore regarded the finest building in the city, and one of the liaestin the United SMie.s, has a commanding situation in the middle of the Park. It has more ornament t lan eiiher the

Exchansre or tlie Custom House, but less simple frrandcur ; though with its furniture, it is, perhaps, the most intereslin-f buildin

the centre buildi.if; ; and there rises from the centre a cupola, con top, ; taining a clock of tine workmanship, and on the u colo.'-sal statue of Justice.

The Crovcrnor''s Room is appropriated to the use of tlie Governor of tlie Slate wlien lie visits the city, and has been used as a recep- tion room for other distinguished men who have occasionally been here. It is f)2 by 20 feet. The walls of tlie room are hung with a fine collection of portraits, including the Governors of the State, the Mayors of the City since the Revolution, some of the Dutch Go- vernors, and the principal military and naval heroes of the late war all of which are regarded as excellent likenesses. The Common Counril Room is 42 by 30 feet, and the president occupies the identical chair occupied by General Washington wlidi, he presided over the first American Congress, wliicli assembled in New-York. The seats of the aldermen are ranged in a semicircular form, in the centre of which is a table for the clerk. The room contains several fine full-length portraits, painted by Trumbull. The room of the Assistant Akiermen is handsomely fitted up. Hall of Records. The Hall of Records, east of the City Hall, in the Park, is two stories liigh, with a lofty portico of four ionic pillars on each front; and in the rear of it is the JVew City Hal/, formerly the old alms house, which contains fifseen offices, besides the Marine Coii"-! Room, and rooms of the American Institute. Post Office. ROBERT H. MORRIS, POSTMASTER. The Post Office, formerly the Middle Dutch Church, is located in Nassau-street, between Cedar and Liberty streets, now rented to the General Government for 7 years, at the yearly rent of $5,000. This venerable edifice has stood for 115 years, and eight or nine suc- cessive generations (counting those who were aged at the time of its opening) have worshipped within its walls. On Sabbath evening, 11th August, 1844, the closing exercises were held in the church, in the view of resigning it for PostOtRce purposes. During ilie l!i\'o- lutionary war, in 177fi, when the Biitish look possession of the city, several of the churches were occupied and greatly injured by the soldiery but the Middle Dutch Church suffered the most. British ; Being directly adjacent to the famous sugar-house, the scene of atro cious and multiplied cruellies inflicted upon American citizens, it was at once used by the British soldiery for their quarters, for a hospital, and then for a riding school, in which British horsemanship was displayed. TIk; whole of the interior was destroyed and rendered desolate. It was not till 1790 that the church was repaired, and again opened for divine worship. The Branch Post Office, recently opened, is situated at the corner of East Broadway and Chatham Square. Office Hours. From 8 A. M. to 7 P. M. On Sunday. From 9 to 10 A. M., and from 12,1- to 1^ P. M.

Custom House.

The Custom House, on the corner of Wall and Nassau streets, is a splendid building, constructed in the Doric order of Grecian architecture, of white murble, something after the model of the I'arthenon

at Athens. _ It occupies the site of the old Federal Hall, in the open gallery of which General Washington was inauguratKl ; and nearly over the front door is the place where he stood when the oath of office, as first President of the United States, was administered to him by Chancellor Livingston, April 30th, 178i». The building is 200 feet long, 90 feet wide, and 80 feet high. At the southern ead on Wall- street, is a portico of eight purely Grecian Doric columns, 5 feel 8

inches in diameter, and 32 feet high ; and on the northern end on Pine-street is a corresponding portico of similar colunuis. The front portico is ascended by eighteen marble steps, and the rear portico on Pine-street by only three or four marble steps. The great business liall is a splendid circular room, flO feet in diameter, surmounted by a dome, supported by 16 beautiful Corinthian columns, 30 feet high, and at the top a skylight. On e.ich side are 13 pilasters, in perfect keeping with the pillars on the two fronts. Cost of Ik" Jiiti/d'iiir.—Tho cost of the building and its furniture

The Merchants' Exchange is located between Wall, Exchange Place, William, and Hanover streets. It is built in the most substantial form, of blue (iuincy granite, and is 200 feet long by 171 to 144 feet wide, 77 feet liigli to the top of the cornice, and IJ4 to tlie top of the dome. The front on Wall street has a reccssf'd portico of 18 massive Grecian Ionic columns, 38 feet higli and 4 feet 4 inches in diameter, each formed from a solid block of stone, and weighing 43 tons. Besides numerous rooms tor various purposes, tlie llotunda in tlie centre is ^0 feet in diameter, with four recesses, making the 60 DESCRIPTION or NEW-YOKK. length nnd breadth each 100 feet, the whole 8f) feet hiph, surmounted with a dome, resting in part on eijiht Corinthian columns of Italian marhic, 41 feet high, and light'^d by a skylight, 25 t' et in dianieter. On the south side of the roof is a telegraph, which couimunicates with another on Staten Island ; and an hourly report is sent down from the telegrai)h to the news room in the FiXcbnnge, for public inspection. Tiie cost of this building, including the ground, is estimated at $1,800,000. Halls of Justice. This building, which occupies the space het«'een Centre, Elm, Leonard, and Franklin streets, is a unique and beautiful specimen of tile Kgypiian style of architecture.

THE f^MIGAT F5MK, JUt.\^ 19, 1845. The lin)its of tiiis work will not allow a detailed Mccount of that disastrous tire : it can only be briefly stated here, that 39 buildings were destroyed in Beaver-street; 34 in Broadway; (i4 in Broad- street; 14 in Exchange Place ; 10 in Marke!field-sirt-et ; 37 in JVew- slreet; 15 in South William-street ; and 4 in Slone-sfreet. Total number destroyed—217. Besides which, five other buildings were mui-.h damaged The heat ;•! the corner of Broadway and Morris-street was most intense. At this point, Engine Co. No. 8 was stationed, and the clothes of the men at the brakes, were only kept from burning by the water which was played on them from anotiier engine. The

wind at this time was from the northeast ; consequently the heat from the numerous burning buildings between Broadway and Broad- street, as well as from those on Broadway, may be said to have crossed that street at this point. The total loss by the fire has been variously estimated at from $5,0 )0,000 to $8,000,000. The fire commei)C(>d at about 3 o'clock, A. M., and was not subdued till Jl o'clock, A. M., a period of eight hours. Supposing, therefore, the total loss to have been .$((,000,000,

the average loss, per hour, was Ii57.5(),0(i0 ; the loss, per quarter of an hour, was $187, .500; the loss, per minute, was $12,500; and the

average loss, per sccuvd, was $208 33J ! Bank notes of the denomination of five dollars would not burn as rapidly in a common fire- pl.-ice as property v.as consumed by this confl igration. 61 Corporal ion of tlae City of Ne^v-Torlc.

Arrests. Sec. 39. An arrest, in criminal cases, is the apprehending or de- taining a person to answer U) a crime or offence alleged against him, or of which he is suspected to be guilty. To this arrest all persons, without distinction, are liable when accused of liaving committed a criminal offence. 40. An arrest on a criunnal charge may be made in any ))li»ce, or at any time on Simday as well as on any otlu^r day, and in tlie — I night as well as in the day time. But it must be borne m mind, that I in all cases in which it is stated in these instructions, that a Police- man may arrest without a warrant, it is necessary that he should witness the coumiission of the otr<;nce, except the contrary be staled in these instructions. 4L The party arrested should be notified of the ofhcer's authority, and this will often prevent resistance, by taking away the pros- pect of justifying or extenuating it. 42. If a Policemen find his personal efforts insufficient to efiect an arrest, or if he have reason to apprehend thai resistance will be made, he ought to require all persons present, or as many as he shall think proper, to assist him ; and all who wilfully disobey such command of assistance, are guilty of misdemeanor. 66 LEGAL POWERS AND DUTIES OF POLICEMEN. -

j 43. person vvlio has or for reasona- A committed a felony, who, I

ble cause, is suspected of having committed a felony, Juay, if he be ;

immt'diatcly pursued, be followed wherever he may go; and if he i take refuge in any house, the Policeman, after stating his office and

j object, may, if permission to enter shall not be given, break open the outer door or wintlows, enter the house and arrest the otTender. j | If the Policeman find the outer door open, or it be opened to him from within, and he enter that way, he may break open any inner refusal, to door, after proper demand and if necessary make an ar- I rest. The breaking of an outer door is, in general, so violent and | dangerous a proceeding, that it must never be resorted to except in l extreme cases, and when an immediate arrest is necessary. 44. Every Policeman must recollect, that in making an arrest, he j is not justified in doing more than is absolutely necessary for the safe custody of the parties until he conveys them to their proper des- j tination. Persons under arrest must be dealt with properly in all cases; it is the duty of a Policeman to keep prisoners safely; but j he has no right to punish them, and he must not even use language to them calculated to provoke or offend them, for such conduct would create resistance in the party, and a hostile feeling among bystanders towards the Policeman. Felonies. Sec. 45. Felonies are offences for which the offender, on convic- tion, shall be liable by law to be punished with death, or by im- prisonment in a State Prison. The following are some of the cases of felony in which Policemen will be most likely to be required to

act without a warrant from a Magistrate : Murder, Manslaughter, Rape, Mayhem, or Maiming; Assault and Battery, by such means or force as is likely to produce death,with intent to commit a felony.

Removing the dead body of any human being from any place of interment,

for the purpose of selling it, or dissecting it, or from mere wanton-

ness ; or purchasing or receiving such dead body so di-interred ; or opening a grave for such purpose, or to steal any article interred with such body. Wilfully administering poison to any horse, sheep or cattle, or maliciously exposing any poisonous substance with intent that the same should be taken or swallowed by any horse, cattle or slieep.

Concealing any offender, after the commission ot" a felony, or having given such offentler any oilier aid, knowing he has committed a felony, witii intent and in order that he avoid, or escape from, arrest or trial, or may convic- I tion, or punishment.

engagement or promise therefor, upon any agreement expressed or i implied, to compound or conceal the oftence, or to abstain from any

prosecutions therefor, or to withhold any evidence thereof. I Power to prerent Felonies.

Sec. 46. It is the first duty of a Policemen to prevent the com- I of mission a crime, and for this purpose he has power to arrest any 1 person who, from his acts, conduct, situation and character, he has just cause to suspect is about to commt a felony. He should arrest any person having in his possession any implements used for, or

[ adapted to, house-breaking, under such circumstances as give just [ cause to suspect that he is about to use them for that purpose ; or any person who, in the presence of the Policeman, may threaten the 1 life of any person, or to burn his house, or to commit any felony ; or any person armed with any offensive weapon, with intent there- ( with to commit a felony. He should also arrest any person found \

in any building, whether inhabited or not, or in any enclosed yard, i garden or area, under such circumstances jis give just cause to sus- | pact that he is there with any felonious purpose. 47. In these, and similar cases, Policemen must judge from all

| the circumstances of the case what the intention of the party is. In

j some cases no doubt can exist—as when the party is a notorious 1 thief, or acting with those u ho are known to be thieves : or when \ the party is attempting to break into a house, or is examining the ; doors and windows, or endeavouring to take properly secretly. If the intention of the party admits of doubt, the Policemen will not act hastily, but will closely watch the suspected party, that lie may discover his design. Power to Arrest for Felony. S£c. 48. A Policeman must make every exertion to effect the arrest of any one he may see in the act of committing a felony, or any one charged positively by another with having commiiicd a felony, or even charged, on the suspicion of another, of having committed a felony, if the suspicion appear to the Policeman to be well founded,

and provided the person so suspecting go with him ; and though no charge be made, yet, if the Policeman have good cause to suspect a person has committed a felony, he should arrest him, and if he have reasonable grounds for his 6usi)icions, and the arrest is made discreetly and fairly, in pursuit of an offender, and not fmm any malice or ill will, the Policeman will be justified, even though it should afterwards appear that no felony was committed. Hut the Policeman must be cautious, in such cases, as his sole defence can rest only on the reasonableness of his suspicions. (See section 43.) | 49. li' a Policeman see any one carrying, or in any manner conveying any goods, under circumstances which lead to a strong suspicion that they have been stolen, he should, particularly in the night, stop

and examine the person ; and if the appearance and manner of the party, his account of himself and of the goods, and all the circumstances of the case, siiould leave no doubt that the goods have been stolen, he should arrest the perscm, and take possession of the goods. But if the suspicion of the Policeman be slight, he should not stop )

If the offenders do not immediately desist, and the disturbance be of a serious nature, he should take the parties into custody, securing also the principal instigators of the tumult, and do every thing in his power to restore quiet. And if the parties flee into a house and there fight and disturb tlie public peace, the Policeman should enter the house, and arrest the otienders and restore quiet for it is the duty of Policemen to stop tumults which greatly disturb the public peace, whether they occur in the streets or in buildings.

The Captain of the District in which the fire may be, will, until the arrival of the Chief of Police, give directions to the Captains of other Districts, who may be present with their men, as to the position they shall take with their men ; and the Captains of other Districts will report themselves to the Captain of the District in which the fire may be.

When the fire is e.xlinguished, tiie officer liaving charge will march his men, in regular order, back to tlie District Head Quarters, a few being left, according to circumstances, to watcii the neighbour- hood, while any cause lor appreiiension eiisis. Riots. Sec. 80. In case of Riot, or any disturbance requiring a large force, the Policemen on the station will immediately give notice to the officer in charge at the District Head Uuarters, who will without delay, and as secretly as possible, proceed with his men to the spot, keeping them in regular order, and not permitting persons to mingle with, or place themselves between his men. If he have any doubt of his ability to restore order, or preserve the j)eace, he will imme diately send notice to Captains of other Districts, or to the Chief of Police, as occasion may require, and will assume command until the arrival of the Chief of Police. 81. 'J'he Policen)en, under the direction of their proper officers, will use every exertion to restore order, and disperse the persons

assembled ; but if the rioters do not desist, the Policemen must

arrest as many of them as they can, particularly the principal men ; and if moderate means will not cause the persons to disperse, they must be driven away or arrested. Such occasions require the exer-

cise of great coolness and firmness ; force must not be resorted to until it become absolutely necessary, but, when necessary, must be exercised to the degree required— in such cases the men must act together, and not permit their ranks to be broken, and must act in such a manner as to make it apparent that they are determined to do their whole duty, and nothing but their duty. 8'2. To a riot there must be three or more persons; and all persons who encourage, promote, or take part in riots, whether by words, signs or gestures, or by wearing the badges or ensigns of tlie rioters, are considered rioters, for in tJiis case all are principals.

TRINITY CHURCH. We this year prefjent tiie reailuis of llie Great Metropolis with nn its I nccuratu view of Tiinify Cluutlj. The facts connected wiih history, and the description of the building have been furnished by I Hf-nry M. Onderdonk, E^q., author of the " History of the Frotest- ;int Episcopal Churrlies, in tlie city of Nnw-York."

: Brief nistnry of the Church —The nien»l>ers of the Pro- teslant Episcopal Church (ilien known as the Church of England I in America,) held thmr ti:st relifiious services in this city, in a small

I I chapel attached to a fort vvhicli stood near the present Battery. y Tile congregation rapidly increaMng, Triniiy Church was founded KiiH), reign of y lo meet the emeigeucy in during the William and Mary, and seivice was fir?,! pel formed in it on the 6th of February, TRINITY CHURCH. 81

1697. It was then a small square edifice, but was enlarged in IT.'JS, and again in 1737. On the 2lst of Septeuiber, 1776, by the memor- able ftre, which laid waste so great a portion of the city, this edifice was entirely consumed. Jt lay in ruins during the remainder of the Revolutionary war, at the expiration of which, it was rebuilt, and consecrated by Hisliup Provoost in 1790. In J8;W, an examination having been made of the building, it was deemed advisable to pull it down, and erect another iu its place. TJie magnificent edifice, located in Broadway, opposite Wall-st., (erected under the superintendence of Mr. Richard Upjohn, archilect,) and of which a view is given, is the result—a result truly creditable to the age and nation, and one which will prove a lasting monument of the munificent character of the venerable corporation of the parish. Description nf the Chunk.—The style of architecture is the perpendicular fJothic, the peculiar characteristic of which is, that the mullious of the windows, and the ornamented pannelings run in perpendicular lines. It is the first church erected in this country havmg the clerestory, and is built entirely of sand stone, even to the apex of the spire. The aisle walls are 40 feet in heigiit, and are each supported by eight subitantial buttresses, between which arc pointed windows, 24 feet high, beautifully ornamented by tracery cut in stone. A. moulded battlement surmounts these walls, extending their whole length. The clerestory is supported by massive piers, rising from the interior of the church, and a succession of arches springing from them. It is also surmounted by a battlement, which runs over the wall of the western end, and is crowned at the apex by a cross. Each but- tress has upon it a pinnacle crocketed at the angles and terminating in a finial. In the western wall of the church is a magnificent window, termed the altar window, 60 feet high, and 25 feet wide. Its breadth is distributed into seven bays, and its length into two sections by a transom mulllon in the centre, and is, as are all the other windows, glazed with stained glass. But that which most strikes the eye with admiration, is the magnifi- cence of the tower and spire. Covered as they are with elaborate work, cut in solid stone, and running up to the height of 283 feet, their imposing grandeur is beyond description. The base of the tower is 30 feet square, and 6 feet inches through, and is supported by double buttresses 4 feet wide, projecting 7 feet 6 inches. The entrance through the tower is 20 feet wide, and 30 feet high, and is surmounted by a bishop's mitre. The whole height of the tower is 127 feet. The spire is in fine proportion, and rises to j the top of the cross which crowns it, to the height of 1.56 feet, thus making the aggregate height 283 feet. It is octagonal, and each angle is decorated by a succession of crockets. The steeple will contain a clock, and a chime of bells. The interior of Trinity is equally as beautiful aa tin; exterior. The nave is 137 feet long, 36 feet wide, and f>7 feet 6 inches high, and receives its support from a double colonnade, each of 7 English piers. The vaulting over it consists of graceful groining, and is decorated by bosses of clustered foliage. The pews are of oak and capable of seating with ease 800 persons. There are no galleries in the church. The vestry at the west end of the church, forms a fine apartment 72 feet in length, with a groined ceiling. In it are placed all the monumental tablets formerly in the other building. Among them is 82 CHURCHES IN N.

The Organ, which is to be built by Mr. Henry Erben, will cost $10,000. The case is constructed of oak, of a rich Gothic pattern, from a plan of Mr. Richard Upjohn, and will be 53 feet high, 32 feet deep, and 27 feet wide. Tlie largest wooden pipe is 32 feel long, and 35 by 30 inches, internal measurement. The largest metal pipe is 28 feet long, and 5 ifeet in circumference. There will be four separate organs, viz.—Great organ, choir organ, swell organ, and pedal organ ; 43 stops—11 of which will be diapasons, one of 32 feet in length, and 4 of 16 feet in length, besides two reed stops of 16 feet in length. There will be nearly 2500 pipes in the organ, and its total weight will be upwards of forty tons.

•ll OMNinr S AND STAGE LINES IN NEW YORK 115 116 ] CELEBRATED ESTABLISHMENTS IN NEW-YORK. {The Jlrrangemrnt is Alphabetical.) Silver and Silver plated Ware, Jewelry, Watches, &c.— The establisliinent of Ball, Tompkins, & Black, (successors to the late well known firm of Mnrqiiand & Co.,) No. 181 Br«adwa3^ is quite celebrated in its line, and in every respect worthy the attention of strangers, as weli as otiiers, who desire Silver, or Silver-plated

Ware, Forks, Spoons, Tea-Sets, . Coffee or Tea Urns, Tnreens, Pitchers, Waiters, Cake or Fniil Baskets, Fruit or Dessert Knives, &c., &c. The above establishment, having been in existence more than

thirty years, is, jsrobably, the oldest of its kind in Broadway ; and from the well-known character of the gentlemen who conduct it, the articles which they manufacture to order, or sell from their cises, may be relied on as being of the quality represented. In tliis respect, ail their merchandise is warranted, both as regards materials and workmanship. The admirers of whatever is chaste and beautiful in design, or perfect in execution, will here find an assortment of Silver and Plated Ware. Diamond and other Jewelry, Watche-s, Clocks, fcc, &c., &c., as rich, choice, and varied, as can be found in the city, and for which this establishment has been so long and so justly celebrated. Strangers and others who desire to witness the progress of Ameri- can artisans, in many of the above-named articles, or, to select some tasty and elegant article of jewelry to make a present, either on a matrimonial or birthday occasion, or as a keepsake, will find that the arts of design and meclianism are here combined with gold and rare gems, in a manner calculated to cull forth the admiration of the most fastidious.

Lamps, Chandeliers, and Girandoles.— Among the many at- tractions of the sunny side of Broadway, the splendid establishment of Messrs. Couthouy & Severs, for the sale of H. N. Hooper & Go's Lamps, Girandoles, &c., (.No. ;UI,) is conspicuous for its rich and varied display of these goods and their exquisite workmanship. But a few years ago, we were entirely dependant on England and France for oitr supply, and the enormous prices charged by importers, placed a h;indsome set of these articles beyond the reach of any but the wealthier portion of our community. A few enterprising persons have produced a complete revolution in this respect, and such things are no longer regarded as luxuries, nor imported stive in comparitive- ly small quantities. Messrs. U. N. Hoop'^r & Co. of B.)ston, have long stood at the head of those engaged in thi? branch of manufacture, and in re- peated strusgies for the supremacy, have invariably triumphed over all compiuitors. They comin:^nced their opsrations about the year j 1833, and the very next year, specimens of their Limpi exhibited at the Fair of the American Insritute in this city obtained the highest premium. Since that time, tiK.-y have m linfained unshaken preemi- nence, and have received from various associations for the encouragement of Home Industry, six gold and as many silver medals, among which are the gold medals of the two l:ist Fairs of the Institute. Most of our readers will recollect the m ignificent display made by Couthouy & Nevers on those occasions, which excited tiie unquali- fied admiration of the throng of visiters. The factory of Hooper & Co. is the most extensive and perfect in its arrangements of any of tiie kind in this country, and has few if any equals in Europe, and ig CKLEBRATED ESTABLISHMENTS IN NEW-YORK. 117

justly classed among thf lions of Boston. In style and delicacy of finish, tlie Lamps and Girandoles from this celebratf.-d manufactory immeasurably surpass any other we liave ever examined of Ameri- can make, and are not excelled b> the finest specimens of Eunipean skill. Tiie intelligent observer of our progress in the household arts, will derive no ordinary gratification from a visit to the Depot of Messrs. Coutliouy & Nevers.

DisBRow's Eqi-estrian Atademy.—There is no place about town where the " utile et (hilce " are so splendidly blended as at Disbrovv's Equestrian Academy in the Bowery, near Vauxhall Garden. The comforts and convenience of the m megc—the politeness and skill of the proprietor and instructor—the fine horses and moderate charges, conspire to render that establishment well worthy the patronage of the enlightened citizens of New Vork. Horsemanship is becoming a necessary accomplishment for both ladies and gentlemen; and as it is an art which requires a competent instructor, we can confidently I

I recommend Mr. VVm. fl. Disbrovv as a gentlein m pre-eminently qualified as a teacher. Thoroughly acquainted with the disposition I himself I and management of the horse, and being one of the most graceful riders in the citv, persons placing themselves under his i tuition cannot fail receiving a proper knowledge of the art.

I To ladies this establishment affords peculiar advantages, as they I are concealed from public gaze while under instruction, and because I

; no possible danger can be apprehended. Mr. D. lias horses which he has trained especially for the, use of his lady pupils.— We feel con- i fident that the advantages of this pleasant place of exercise and amusement need only to be known, and it will receive a present share of public patronage. As the Academy is open to ladies and gentlemen, the former in the forenoon, the latter in the afternoon, we would advise ail to visit it j and judge for themselves. Printing Press, Machine, and Saw Manufactory.—We have h.id the pleasure; of visiting the celebrated establishments of Messrs. Hoe & Co., located :a'i[) and 31 Gf)ld-strcet, and at the corner of Brooms and .Sheriffstreets, and many new and gratifying reflections hnve been suggested thereby, connected with the history of the Mechanic Arts in the United States. " The never-ending—still beginning" clink of hammers—the roar of furnaces and blowers there to be lieard — still linger on our ear. What a life those sons of Vulcan lead amid the din of artificial thunders—the very variety of which is monotonous! A visit to such an establishment afl^)rds, to the reflecting mind, the most satisfactory proofs of the ra|iid ad- vance of American skill in manufactures. With this est;iblishm!'nt, editors and publishers of newspipers throughout the United State.s are f imiliar. It is not devoted, however, exclusively to the manu- factiiie of machine and hand presses—but every tiling necessary for a printing office and bindery, including type, ink, &c., is furnished at the shortest notice, and at a cost much less than fi)rmerly. Ma- chinery of every description is manufactured by the Messrs. Hoe, with an expedition ami in a style of finish unsurpassed by any similar establishment in the United Stales. But to ap|)reciate Justly the degree of perfection which they have reached in the manufacture of printing midlines, printing and standing presses, hydraulic and screw presses, saw-mills, veneer saws ; circular, pit, mill, cross cut, and other saws—and macliinery generally—the reader must visit ;

This immense Establishment is justly celebrated as the First in the World, and such is the magnitude of its business, induced by the superiority of its productions, that it furnishes employment and support to upwards of 500 individnals. The Manuf'.cturing Department is conducted upon an immense scale, to supply tiic very Inraje consumption of the Picture Depart- ment of the concern, and to fill the mitaerous orders from all partsof the world, for Apparatus, Plates, Cases, Chemicals, &c. The Gallery here, is one of the most attractive and interesting places of fashionable public resort in New-York ; and an honor to the City. being Free, and occupying tl:e first floor above the street, it istlic pleasantest lounge in Broadway ; and is daily frequented by the elite, who find this an agreeable resting place in passing up and down the gay thoroughfare. It contains a vast collection of the most perfect and choice sped mens of the beautiful art of Photograph)', ever produced. Among them are Likenesses of many of the most distinguished individuals of

the country ; Presidents, Vice Presidents, Officers of the Cabinet, Army, Navy, &c.. Senators, Members of Congress. Judges, Divines, Lawyers, Authors, Actors, Municipal Officers of this city, and a host of others " too numerous to mention." Above the Gallery are numerous suites of Eooms, appropriated to

the use of sitters ; who are thus secured the advantages of privacy and despatch in liaving tlieir portraits executed. There is one suite of rooms in this establishment fitted up to take groups of fifty persons or more in one picture, each being in the same light as the other, and so arranged as to remove entirely the dis- agreeable effi;ct of the light upon the rye, as at no time does the sun shine into this part of the building—the soft northern liglit only being admitted through the roof, a mode of obtaining it which from ex- periment, proves to be the only way in which a laige group can be made by this art. Fancy and Curiosity Store.—In alluding to the various establishments which stand preeminent in our " Great Rietropolis," those that are not only a source of profit and honor to their pioprietors, but also, the pride and boast of our citizens; the Fancy and Cuii- CELEBRATED ESTABLISHME.MTS IN NEW-YOKK. 119

Looking-Glass VVareuoojis.—Of those establishments about town which universally attract the attention of citizens and strangers, one of the most celebrated is the splendid Looking-GI iss store of Messrs. Williams & Sievens, 343 Broadway, on the fourth square above the Park, and nearly opjjosite the Tabernacle, lis immense windows are usually surrounded by a crowd hahing to admire the i gorgeous specimens gliii(Ming through them, reminding one of the palaces and "Magic Mirrors" described in the Arabian Nights. Modern and Antique Frames, Brackets, Candelabra, and Vase Stands, are clustered there in "golden order," with every variety of pattern, from the massive and substantial to the most fairy-like and frail. Tiiirty years' e.xperienca has given to Messrs. Williams & Stevens the pahu of excellence and precedence in their line of business; and in extent and variety, as in quality and elegance of manufacture, their establishment lias no equal in this country, no .superior, probably, in the world. There are Mirrors from the smallest Toilet Glass, to the larg(;st and most superb Pier Looking- GlassHS, with frames of the rarest Elizabethan, Louis XIV., and Gothic styles; Window Cornices of the most approved kinds; together Willi Portrait, Picture, and Mir..ature Frames, from the most elaborate and costly, to the plaintjst and least expensive patterns. It id a place eminently worth visiting, if but to lounge awhile amid

its paintings and elegant decorations ; and of its kind, is the most unique and bjauliful in the United States. 120 PliACES OF AMUSEMENT IN NEAV-YORK. {The Arrangement is Alphabetical.)

This extensive establishment, which was founded in 1810, by John Scndder, esq., is situated in tlie very heart of tlie city, corner of Broadway and Ann streets, oppositeSt. Paul's Church and the Astor House, and contijruous to the majority of the best hotels in the City, the Park, City Hall. &c. It is one of the most interesiing, as well as extensive establishments of the kind in America, containing several large and conniiodious halls, over one hundred feet in length, filled with an innumerable quantity of curiosities from every portion of the globe, to which continual additions nre being made. Here are Birds of every variety and clime, from ihe ^>slrich to the hun-

dred kinds of Humming Birds ; from the Bird u '^aradise of the Tropics, to the Penguins of the Polar Regions.

Tlie specimens of Preserved Animals and Reptiles are v'* ""emark- able excellence, such as were never seen alive, in this country. The departments of Conchology, Entomology and Mineralogy, are very perfect. The collection of Indian and Polynesian Implements, War Clubs, Idols, &c. is very curious, interesting and valuable. The Grand Cosmorama contains views of the most celebrated Cities, Scenery and J\atural Phenomena, executed at an immense expense, ty the first Artists in Europe. The Miscellaneous Curiosities, include a fine collection of Old Paintings and Rare Engravings, many Chinese Curiosities, ancient Suits of Armor, Mail and Arms, antique Coins, splendid Fossils, beautiful Statuary, a finely preserved Egyp- tian Jlummy, &c.

Park Theatre,— lias three capacious tiers of boxes, and a roomy pit, into which over 1,000 persons can be comfortably sealed. The style j in which the house is decorated is exceedingly tasteful and elegant;

I and the manner in which it is conducted is delightful in the extreme. We Bjay safely say, that good order always prevails, and tiiai a strong police force is ever in attendance to protect and be of service to the unwary stranger. The stage department is as well managed as the front. The performers are selected from the most talented in the States. Among the Chatham favourites are George Hill, fa- miliarly called '• Yankee Hill," T. D. Rice, the original "Jim Crow," and J. B. Booth, the famous tragedian. The eniertainments generally consist of choice equestrian and other melo-dramas, with farces, and a variety of dancing and iimsical belween-piece performances. !n short, for beautiful scenery, choice acting, capital music, and comfort for the visitor, the Chatliam, or People's Theatre, is second to no other dramatic temple in the United States.

133 PLACES OF AMUSEMENT. — STATE ANB CITY COURTS. NIBLQ'S (JARDEN, Situated on the corner of Broadway and Prinee streets, is laid out with eseeediiag taste, and always the very pattern of neatness, having walks lined with choice flowers and shrubbery; an elegant Saloon, adorned with chaste and beautiful designs, mirrors, &c. grounds, too, oraamente

Situated in Park Row, opposite the Park, was built in 1T96 ; altered and improved in 180G ; burnt in 1820 : and r. built in 1821. There are three tiers of boxes, each tier holding 440 persons. The Pit will accommtidate 430, Gallery, 500; the slips (even with the gallery but a portion of the boxes,) hold 250 persons. The house, therefore, will contain 2,500 persons, and when fuU, at the rate of $1 per ticket to the boxes, &c., the receipts amount to $1910. The depth of the theatre is 187 feet, width, 7G- feet. It is the iiroperty of John Jacob Astor, and the heirs of John K. Beekman. The rent, for many years $18,000 per annum, i« now somewhat reduced. The present lessee is Edmund Simpson, who became joint manager with the late Stephen Price, in 1816. At this house all the great theatrical and operatic talent of Europe is introduced to the Ajneri- can public. The theatre contains ten private boxes, two of which belong to the proprietors. The model of the house may be considered perfect, as every seat commands a full view of the stage. VAUXHALL GARDEN, Is situated in the Bowery, between Great Jones ani Eighth streets, and was formerly much more extensive than it now is, the extt nsion of Lafayette Place having considerably reduced its dimensions. It is conducted by Bradford Jones, and devoted to theatrical entertainments, concerts, exhibitions of fireworks, &c., the price of admission to which is much less than formerly.

If you wish to find the location of any pariicnlar house or store,—for instance No. 80 Allen-street, on consulting' ilie Siieet Directory, yiHi will obberve that 66 II is on tlie rig-lit hand of thut street and ilic corner of Grand, and 89 Allen on the right-hand corner of Broome : hence tlie desired number will be ou the right-hand side of Allen-street, between Grand and Bruome.

Many of the streets are very irregularly numbered ; this is especially true in re^^ard to all streets above Eighth and east of Avenue 5th; and in some streets the numbers change from ri»-ht to left. Note.—The streets above Twelfth-street are divided by Avenue 5th, into East and West—as East Thirteenth, West Thirieeiuh— and those streets located as abore described will be found, therefore, in this work, under East and West

ESTABLISHED ISIO. (many yfars with erard.)

J. F. Browne respectfully informs his Friends and the Musical World, that he lias establisiied himself for the manufacture and im- portation of these very beautiful instruments, at 281 Broad^iay, & 73d CSiasnbers-st., N.Y. His arrangements are such as to enable him to transact business at European prices, thereby sivirig purchasers the high duties imposed by tariff on these Instruments. J. F. IJrowne wonld observe, these Harps are constructed on the most improved principles, with all thn modern improvements of London and Paris, are unequalled in brilliancy of tone, fineness of touch, and perfectness of mechanism. Particular care is taken to fit them for the extremes of climate in this country, in which respfct they will be found far superior to any of European manufacture, imported in the usual way. These Harps are patronised by the elite of musical taste and pro- fessional talent in Europe; amonu the latter, lie would mention N. C. Bochsa, who invariably selects from this establishment. J. F. Biowne begs to offer the opinions of some of the first profes- sional talent in this country.
