 HOT AIR FORNAGE. 
 
 A good Furnace possesses several decided advantages over a grate or 
 stove. 
 
 1st. — It warms several apartments from the same fire without the 
 annoyance of dust or gas. 
 
 2d. — Its heat can be graduated with the utmost nicety by means of 
 file Register in the apartments warmed. 
 
 3d. — It ventilates the liouse by causing a constant supply of pure 
 warm air to enter the apartments from the Furnace Chamber which is 
 supplied with fresh air from without. 
 
 The above named Furnace is acknowledged by all who have exa- 
 mined it, to possess these (]ualities in greater perfection than any 
 other in market. It has moreover a decided superiority to others, in 
 respect to economy of fuel, and durability— but one of its chief ad- 
 vantages consists in having an evajjorating pan, which is so ample, 
 and so well arranged, that the vapor arising from it becomes thoroughly 
 combined with the air before it pa.sses from the Air Chamber, and thus 
 secures an atmosphere pure, healthy, and agreeable, which may be 
 kept at the requisite temperature, witiiout injury to the furniture or to 
 the lungs. 
 
 This Furnace is put up under the personal supervision of the Patentee, 
 who will be happy to give any additional information to those who may 
 favor him with a call or by letter. 
 
 Sold at wholesale, to be sent abroad, witli ample directions for set- 
 ting- 
 Orders, or letters of inquiry, from any part of the United States or 
 Canada, promptly attended to.

 FRENCH'S HOTEL. 
 
 The Subscriber, proprietor of French's Hotkl, on the corner of 
 Frankfort-street and City Hall Square, JVew-York City, would re 
 spectfully inform his friends and the public, that lie will have built, fur- 
 nished and opened the above Hotel for business, on or about the first 
 of April next, (1849,) and trusts that an experience of twenty years as 
 a Hotel Keejier, has enabled him to produce a House, ^hieli, for conve- 
 nience, elegance, comfort and JJcoitomt/^ cannot he surpassed in this, 
 or any other country. It will contain more rooms ihant any olijer Hitel 
 on this Continent, save one ordy. It will he finished in the most ap- 
 proved style of modern art; all the bed-rooms will be fitted up with 
 marble top wash-stands, whreh will be supplied with Crotou water 
 through silver-plated cocks ; and all the larniture, beds and bedding 
 will be made expressly for this House, and will be of the first style and 
 best quality. All the Rooms zeill be fVarmcd Gratis by Hot Air 
 Furnaces, or the occupants can shut out the heat if they wish to. This 
 Hotel will be well ventilated, as it will be upon high ground and front 
 ;lie Park, one of the most beantifufJ jiromeiiades in the Union. There 
 will bo but one bed in a room, with the exception of about thirty 
 fJeei)ing apartments, in each of which there v.-ill be two beds, for the ac- 
 commodation of those who may prefer such an arrangement. There 
 will be water closets on every floor, wliJcb, together with the Halls, 
 will be lit with gas during the night. 
 
 This Hotel being opjTOsite the terminus of the Harlem Rail Road, 
 7.nd near that of the ISoston anil New-Haven Rail Roads, and in the 
 immediate vicinity of mercantile business and the ])rinoipal [daces of 
 amusement, offers every inducement to those who consult comfort, con- 
 venience and AVonc/nf/, as the Proprietor has not only endeavored 
 to produce a Hotel which will l>e unsurpassed for convenience and 
 elegance, but also for JSconvmt/^ as the scale of prices will be sufS- 
 dently moderate to suit any porlion of the travelling public. 
 
 In the House there v.ill be a IJarbcr's Shop and an extensive range 
 of Bath Rooms comwctcd therewith. The Hutel will be conducted on 
 the European Plan of loilging-rooms, and meals as fhey may l>e 
 ordered in the spacious and sjjiendid Refectory. Porters will be up to 
 admit lodgers at all houi-s of the night, and also to call them at any 
 time they may desire, and in no cage will servants be per milled to exact 
 or receive perquisites, as the Projirietor will himsell' j)ay tliein for all 
 tlieir services. 
 
 The Proprietor is san£ruinf in the belief that he can furnish a more 
 comfortable, and at the same time more J-Jcfmoinftal accommodation 
 -■o the jiermanent lodger or transient traveller tlian can be found in 
 any other Public House in this countrv.

 JENNISONS PATENT, 1845. 
 Office reiMovcd from 334 to 349 Broadway, 
 
 These filters, not larger than a pint meas 
 tached to any hydrant or pipe conveying w 
 water, equal to one hundred gallons per hou 
 enough for the culinary wants of the largesi 
 it imparts a pearly -whiteness not otherwise 
 and dispatch all the animal, vegetable, and 
 
 lire, can be readily and without expense at- 
 ater, and will yield a steady Btrcam of pjre 
 r, under the pressure of the Croton, more than 
 families, even for washing clothes, lo which 
 obtained. It separates with equal certainty 
 ;arthy matter found, despite all possible pre- 
 cry distributing channel of the Croton, Schuylkill, Mississippi, Cochituate, 
 or Long Pond, and other river water. They are also constructed for filtering fluids for 
 manufacturing purposes, and water for steam engines, &c. ice. 
 
 They are ornamental, and will last for years ; are not liable to get out of repair, or subject 
 to damage from frost; and will prevent the pipes from bursting. They have the merit of 
 cleassing themselves, by the simple act of changing them end for end once or twice a week, 
 depending, however, on the quantity of water used, and the impurities contained in it; and 
 they are designed for filtering water under any circumstances and degree of pressure. 
 
 The necessity of filtering river water, and the efficiency of the Diaphragm Kilter, bears 
 the endorsement of the following eminent Physicians and Chemists of the cities of Mew

 The subscriber would invite the altpiition of Manufacturers, Maohiniste, Proprietors of 
 Steamboats, Railroads, Sawmills, acd all olhers using the article of Leatner Banding, 
 to hij Patentt-d Bands, which have now been before the public a sufficient time to have 
 their utility fairly tested; and he is furnished with numerous Approbatory Testimooials 
 in their behalf. 
 
 These Binds ore constructed on principles which have not been heretofore developed. 
 They are made from tb^ bfst of Oak Leather, and cut from the heart or solid part of the 
 Hide or side only; are thoroughly stretched on powerful machinery, and are cemented 
 and rivi.'ted togethc?; tboy sre warranted to run straight, and have a perfect bearing on 
 the Puileys. These qnalities ccmbineil constitute the essential requisites of good Bands, 
 and compose t»icir intrir-sic r.erit over all others. They can be furnished of any'lengtll 
 and width, from one to twei.ty-four inches wide. 
 
 The subscriber feels confident in asserting that one of his Bands is equal in durability 
 to six made in the ordinary manner, and that Ihey will afford perfect satisfaction during 
 the whole time of their uje. 
 
 He is also happy to state that he has the recently Patented Concave Head and Ova! 
 Shank Rivets, which present less metal to the Palleys than any other, thereby effectu- 
 ally correcting the well-known difficulty of Belts slipping.

 All the canals and r;iilioads of New-Jersey have heeu constructed 
 by joint stuck uomjKUiies exclusively, — the policy of the state govern- 
 ment with regard to internal improvements having been one of great 
 caution, which, while it sanctioned the enterprises of individuals and 
 private companies by leg;il enactments, forbade any appropriation of 
 its own funds to objects of this description. 
 
 Notwithstanding this seeming indifierence to these objects, Hie work 
 of impiovemeut has goiie on, and the state is now jiossessed of some of 
 tlie most important and prodnetive canals and railroads in the country, 
 the complete success of v/liicli vindicates trium|)hantiy the course dic- 
 tated by prudence and a commendable economy'. Tlie transit duties 
 levied by the state upon passengers and merchandise conveyed over the 
 canals and railroads now in operation, furnish a sum annually more 
 sufficient to defray the ex;)enses of the state government, which will 
 no doubt increase so as to enable her to purchase ultimately most of 
 them, which by the termsof their charters she has the privilege of doing 
 at the expiration of a certain time, on reimbursing the stockholders. 
 
 Thus it will be perceived, that although individuals in their corpo- 
 rate capacity have advanced the necessary funds for the construction of 
 tliese works, and though the state has not advanced or even loaned a 
 dollar towards it, still the fee is in her, not in them, they being merelv 
 lessees for a term of years, the state having the power, which will 
 doubtless be exercised, to dissolve all corporations whose works yield 
 a net income beyond the current interest of the state when that term 
 expires. 
 
 Under, these arrangements, the state has abundant reason to be 
 satisfied ; she gains every thing and risks nothing, and has thus furnished 
 to her own citizens and the public a communication as cheap and ex- 
 peditious as any in the United States, and comj)leted for the country 
 one of the most important links in the chain cf communication between 
 the North and South, 
 
 The aggregate length of railroads in the State of New- Jersey is 215 
 milei ; of canals, 170 miles.

 ROUTES. 
 
 There are two lines of railroad connecting tlie cities of New- York 
 and Pliiladelphia— tiie New-Jer?ey Railroad, by ferry from the foot of 
 Liberty street, New-York, at 8^, A. M. and 4:{-, P. M., to Jersey City, 
 and extending from Jersey City through Hudson, Essex, and Middlesex 
 cuunties, crossing the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers, Elizabethtown 
 Creek, and the Rahway and Raritau Rivers to New IJrunswiek, 34 
 miles from Jersey City, where it meets the Trenton and New Bruns- 
 wick Railroad, (or Camden and Aniboy Branch,) extending through 
 Middlesex and Mercer counties, along the southeast bank of the Dela- 
 \vare and Raritan Canal, and terminating at Trenton, on the bank of 
 the Delaware River, '20 miles southwest of New Brunswick, and (iO 
 miles from Jersey City ; thence by the Philadelphia and Trenton Rail- 
 road from Trenton across the Delaware River, and along its west 
 bank, in summer to Taconey, 81 miles southwest Jersey City, 21 
 miles southwest Trenton, and H miles northeast Philadelphia, and by 
 ferry to Philadelphia ; in winter when access to the city by river is im- 
 practicable, to Philadeljjhia by Railroad. 
 
 By the Camden and Amboy Railroad — by steamer from Pier No. 2, 
 North River, near the Battery, New-York, daily, at 12 M., through 
 Staten Island Sound and Raritan Bay (when navigable) to South Am- 
 boy, 28 miles from New-York, thence by Railroad through Middlesex, 
 Burlington, and Gloucester counties, N. J., along the east bank of the 
 Delaware River to Camden, (d!> miles from New- York.) opposite Phila- 
 delphia, thence by ferry to the foot of Walnut street, Phila. 
 
 Construction, General 2)cscriptio7i, Cost, S-c. 
 
 The New- Jersey Railroad Company was chartered by the Legisla- 
 ture of New-Jersey, in 18;i2. The cost of the road and its ajijienda- 
 ges was $2,000,000. Two tracks have been laid from the depot at 
 jersey City to Newark, and a single track from thence to New 
 Brunswick. 
 
 The rail used is of Ihe T form, weighing about 37 pounds per yard, 
 and is sup[)orted at distances of three ieet upon cast-iron chairs, weigh- 
 ing about Jj pounds each, resting ou cross sleepers of red cedar and 
 chestnut. 
 
 There are on the road, tv/o substantial wooden viaducts, over the 
 Passaic and Hackensack rivers, which are worthy of notice ; as also the 
 deep cut through Bergen Hill, about two miles from Jersey City, the 
 total length of which is about one mile, and the greatest depth about 
 50 feet, of which 35 feet are rock, covered by 15 feet of earth. The 
 breadth at bottom is 28 feet, and the viaduct, over the Raritan at New 
 Brunswick J700 feet long, in spans of from 112 to 145 feet each, resting 
 on seven piers faced with granite. The structure is of two stories ; the 
 lower story having a double roadway for common carriages, the rail- 
 way being on the upper one. It has four sliding draws, two in each story. 
 The span of the draws are each 30 feet, and those in the railroad cost 
 between 3 and §4000 each. The Railroad is 34 miles long. General direc- 
 tion fr(]m Jersey City to Newark, W'.N.W. ; from Newark, S.VV. 
 
 The Trenton and New Brunswick railroad, which ctinnccts with, is 
 constructed uj)on the ijeneral plan of, llie N.J.R.R. The execution of 
 
FROM NEW-YORK TO WASHINGTON. 
 
 this work was commenced on the (itli June, 1838, and completed on the 
 1st December of the same year. Length, 27 miles. General direction 
 S. W. 
 
 The Philadelphia and Trenton railroad crosses the Delaware river by 
 means of a covered bridge, 1100 feet long. Length of the road, 26\ 
 miles. Course, nearly S.VV. 
 
 The Camden and Amboy railroad was commenced in 1830, and 
 completed in 1833, at a cost "of about $3,000,000. A considerable por- 
 tion of the road is level, and the inclination on the other parts does not 
 exceed 20 feet to the mile, except at Crosswick's Creek, South River, 
 and Amboy. 
 
 Tiie rail is of the II pattern, weigiiing 41 pounds y)er yard, supported 
 on .stone blocks 18 in. s(iuare by I- in. deep, laid 3 2-10 feet apartupon 
 stone broken to i)a<s through a two inch ring, placed in a continual 
 longitudinal trench, 3 feet wide by 2 feet deep under each rail, to Bor- 
 denlown. Betv.'een Bordentown and CamJen, the railway is laid with 
 wooden sleepers inxtead of stone blocks, resting upon plank 3 in thick by 
 12 in. wide. The clay, and oiher material retentive of water, likely to be 
 retentive of frost, is removed altogether from the bed of this |)art of the 
 road. 
 
 By the terms of the charter, which prohibits the construction of any 
 road within five miles of the one now in use, the Company enjoys a 
 complete monopoly in the conveyance of passengers and merchandise, 
 by means of its Branch between New Brunswick and Trenton, and the 
 Delaware and Raritan canal, all owned by them, — between New York 
 and Philadeljjhia. The number of passengers is immense, amounting 
 in the travelling season to about 1200 daily. 
 
DESCRIPTION 
 
 THE CITY OF NEW YORK. 
 
 Location of the City, Popnlation, &c. 
 
 NEW YORK CITY, the principal city of the State of New 
 York, and in populatinn, wealth, and commerce, the largest city 
 in the United States, de-erves to be denominated the London of 
 America. The City Hall is in 40^ 42' 40" N. lat., and 74° 1' S" 
 W. long, from Greenwich, and 3^ 0' 16" E. long, from Washing- 
 ton. It is 86 miles N. E. Philadelphia, 210 m. S. W. Boston, 225 
 m. N. E. Washington. 670 m. N. E. Charle-^ton, 145 m. S. Albany, 
 372 m. S. Montreal, 1370 m. N. E. New Orleans. 
 
 The fir.st settlement ni.ide with a view to permanent occupancy 
 vras by the Dutch in 1615; in 16.'.6 the city contained 120 houses; 
 in 1677. 368 houses and 2.000 souls : in 169*9, 6,000 inhabitants ; in 
 1730, 8 63S; in 1756. 10,?SO ; in 1790. 3:<.13l ; in 1800. 60,4^-9; in 
 1810, 90,373 ; in 1820, 123,706 ; in 1830, 202,589 ; in 1840, 312,710; 
 in 1845, 366,785. 
 
 There are not more than five or six cities in Europe more po- 
 pulous than New York, viz., London, Paris, Constantinople, St. 
 Petersburg. Naples, and perhaps Vienna. 
 
 The compact part of the city is situated on the south end of New 
 York or Manhattan island, at the confluence of the Hudson or North 
 river, with a strait, called East river, which connects Long 
 Island Sound with the harbor of New York. The chartered limits 
 of the city embrace the whole island, which is of the same extent 
 with the county. The island extends from the Battery, on the S. 
 point of the island, 13.1-3 m.to Kingsbridge,inits N. part; and has 
 an average breadth of 1 m. and three-fifths. The greatest breadth 
 is on the line of 88th street, where its breadth is :ibout2.1-3m.,and 
 it contains about 14,000 acres. It is bounded on the N. by Harlem 
 river or strait, the western part of which, from Kingsbridge to the 
 Hudson, was named by the Dutch Spuyten Duyvel creek • on the E. 
 by the East Kiver or strait, which separates it from Long Island ; on 
 the S. by the harbor ; and on the W. by the Hudson river, which 
 separates it from New Jersey. It is connected with the main land 
 on the N. by three bridges, Harlem bridge, Macomb's bridge, and 
 King's bridge. 
 
 The Harbor— Its Islands, Forts, &c, 
 
 The harbor of New York is spacious and safe, the inner harbor 
 extending 8 miles from the Narrows to the city, and several miles 
 
DESCRIPTION OP / 
 
 further lip, both the North and East Rivers, hut particularly the 
 latter. Besides this, it has an outer harbor, extending from the 
 Narrows to Sandy Hook, consisting of Raritan bay. Sandy Hook, 
 on -which is a light-house, is 18 miles from the city; and at this 
 point there are 27 feet of water on the bar at high tide, and 21 feet 
 at low tide. Within Sandy Hook, there is a good anchorage. The 
 harbor is entered not only from the ooean at Sandy Hook and 
 through the Niirrows. but on the north-east from Long Island 
 Sound, and on the south-west through the Kills and Staten Island 
 Sound. 
 
 Several islands within the inner harbor are attached to the city, 
 which are Governor's, Bedlow's. and Ellis' Islands, on all of which 
 ure strong fortifications ; and Blackwell's, Great Barn, and Ran- 
 dall's Islands, in the East River. Governor's Island is 3200 feet 
 from the city at the Battery, and includes 70 acres of ground. It 
 contains Eort Columbus, in the form of a star on the south of 
 the island, and Castle William on the north-west point, which ia 
 a round tower, 600 feet in circumference and 60 feet high, with 
 three tiers of guns. There is also a battery on the north-west 
 side, commanding the entrance through Buttermilk channel. At 
 the Narrows, on the eastern shore of Long Island, are Fort Hamil- 
 ton and Fort Lafayette, the latter of which (formerly called Fort 
 Diamond) is built on a reef of rocks, 200 yards from the shore. 
 The Narrows, hero about one third of a mile wide, has on Staten 
 Island, on its west side. Fort Tompkins and Fort Richmond, 
 which ate strong fortifications. The entrance from the Sound on 
 the East R,iveris defended by Fort Schuyler on Throg's Neck. On 
 Governor's Island are houses for the officers, and barracks which 
 are occupied by a considerable garrison. On the whole, the har- 
 bor of New York must be considered as well defended, and in a 
 very dilTerent state from what it was during the last war with 
 Great Britain. If even then they did not venture to approach 
 New York, much less would they do it now, in case of war, which 
 it is hoped may not occur. After passing the bar at Sandy Hook, 
 the channel to the city has a depth of water of from 35 to 50 feet. 
 The average tide at the wharves is from 6 to 7 feet. Steamboats 
 are constantly employed in towing vessels to and from the 
 ocean. Tht^ safest and best portion of the harbor, and where the 
 vessels chiefly lie, is along the East River, where there is rarely any 
 obstruction from ice. The tide sweeps through this part with a 
 strong and rapid current; and in the winter of 1844, when the 
 harbor of Boston and the west part of Long Island Sound were 
 much obstructed with ice, no inconvenience was felt at New York. 
 The excellence of its harbor, and other great natural advantages, 
 have contributed to make it the second commercial city on the 
 globe. 
 
 Improvements— Widening of Streets, &c. 
 The surface of the island of Manhattan was originally uneven 
 and rough, as is now the case in the northern parts. With occa- 
 sional low valleys and marshy sw.amps ; but the hills in the south- 
 ern part of the island have been leveled, and the swamps and 
 marshes filled up. Many creeks and inlets on the margins of the 
 rivers have also disappeared, and the large ledge of rocks which 
 occopied the site of the Battery, has long since been buried be- 
 
" NEW YORK. 
 
 neath the macle ground which constitutes that beautiful promenade. 
 The water linv has beeu materially alterei frum what it originally 
 was. A lar^e part of Water, Front, and South streets on the Eask 
 Itiver, and of Greenwich. Wat^hington, and West streets on the 
 HuJ.<!on lliver in the south part of the city occupy ground which 
 has been made by filling in these rivers. The most elevated 
 ground on the island is 2-33 feet above tide water. The city which 
 is built, extends over three miles on each river, and the compact 
 part has a circamference of over nine miles. Rut its limits are 
 continually extending, and will.'^oon greatly surpass these bound- 
 arici. The streets were originally laid out according to the make 
 of the ground, and some of them were crooked ; and in imitation 
 of European cities, many of them were narrow. But in later times 
 they have been widened and improved at a great ex(iense. It 
 seemed a little barbarous at the time, to cut otf 20 feet from valu- 
 able houses by the row ; but when these improvements were effect- 
 ed, the proprietors themselves found occasion to bj well satisfied 
 with the change. By these improvements, many fine streets have 
 been made of those which before were unsightly and inconve- 
 nient. As instances of this, among others, John street and West 
 Broadway may be particularly mentioned, as well as many others. 
 Had the "forecast of William Penn been concerned in originally 
 laying out the city of New York, millions of dollars might have 
 been saved. But it should be recollected that he had a more 
 smooth and even surface to work upon. He expected thit he was 
 laying out a great city for posterity ; but the first inhabitants of 
 New York never cx[ieeted that it would be what it now is, and is 
 likely to become, i a later times care has been taken to lay out the 
 streets strai^lit. and of an ample width, "i'his is particularly true 
 of all the northern part of the city, which was laid out under the 
 direction of Governeur Morris, De Witt (.'linton, and others, com- 
 missioners appoiiiteil by the Legislature for this purpose, and sur- 
 veyed by Mr. John Randall, Jr.,— completed in 1821, after having 
 occupied ten years. No city can exhibit a nmre beautiful plan 
 than this portion of the city of New Yoric, which extends to ]54th 
 street, about ten miles north of the Battery. 
 
 The Principal Streets— Description of, 
 Broadwai/—Z-x.teuds from the Battery rearly five miles, to 
 Forty-Secoiid .st. where it joins tlie Bloomingdaleroad. Itis80feet 
 wide, perfectly straight, occupies the height of land between the 
 two rivers, and has generally, jarticularly in its southern part, an 
 excellent drainage. It is well built, with many fine houses, and 
 nunieraus large jetail store,?. It is the great promenade of the 
 city, and much resorted to, in pleasant weather, by the gay and 
 fashionable. 
 
 Pearl &7?-cc^- -Between Broadway and the East River, is in a cres- 
 cent form, over a mile long, and is the principal seat of the whole- 
 sale dry goods and hardware business, which has also extended 
 into Cellar, Pine, and other adjacent streets. 
 
 Wuler anil Front 57r(r/.s— Between Pearl street and the 
 East Kivo.r. aro occupied chieflj' by wholesale grocers, com mis- 
 sion merchants, and mechanics connected with the .'^hipping 
 business. 
 
DESCRIPTION OP 
 
 South Street — Extends along the margin of the East River, and 
 contains the warehouses and ofSces of the principal shipping 
 merchants. In front of it there is, at all rimes, a dense forest of 
 masts. 
 
 Wall Street — Extends from Broadway to the East River, and is 
 occupied by banks, and insurance offices, newspaper and brokers' 
 offices : has Trinity Church at its head, the Custom House and 
 Merchants' Exchange, and many fine granite buildings, which 
 has caused it to be sometimes denominated the granite street. It 
 is the centre of the heaviest money transactions in the United 
 States. 
 
 2Vtc Boiocry—ls a wide and extensive street east of Broadway, 
 running north and south, connected with Avenue Third which is 
 macadamized to Harlem, and forms the principal entrance to the 
 city from the north-east. 
 
 Bust Broadway— And parallel to it Madison, Henry, and Mon- 
 roe Streets, running a little north of east and south of west, are 
 broad and straight streets, and handsomely built. 
 
 Bleecker, Bond, and other streets, in the northern part of the 
 city, are beautifully built, and have become fashionable streets 
 for residences. 
 
 Canal Street — Haifa mile north of the City Hall, and now much 
 below the centre of the population, is a wide street with a large 
 coverL'd canal under it, is occupied extensively by stores, and ihe 
 seat of an extensive retail business. It cros^^es Broadway nearly 
 at right angles, and extends to the Hudson River. In the year 1800, 
 the site of this street was extensively occupied by a larse pond, 
 called Fresh Water, or the Collect, which received the drainage 
 of 41)0 acres of ground. This was the northern limit of Broad- 
 v,-ay in ISUl, and much beyond the thickly settled part of the 
 city. 
 
 Greeniolch Street — A long wide, and nearly straight street, ex- 
 tends north from the Battery nearly two miles and a-half, parallel 
 to the Hudson River, has many stores and fine buildings. 
 
 Hud.^on Street, east of Greenwich, and parallel to it, is wide and 
 straight, extends from Chambers street to Avenue Ninth, over a 
 mile and three quarters long, and well built in many of its parts. 
 
 Chatham Street — Named in honor of the Earl of Chatham, ex- 
 tends from Broadway to Chatham Square, at the commencement 
 of the Bowery. It is a great thoroughfare, and particularly distin- 
 guished for its numerous clothing stores. 
 
 Grand. Broome, and Houston Streets — Are extensive and im- 
 portant streets, north of the centre of the city. 
 
 Croton Water Works, 
 
 The cheapest and most convenient mode of visiting the Distri- 
 buting Reservoir in Fortieth street, or the Receiving Reservoir, in 
 Eighty-Sixth street, is by the cars of the Harlem Rail Road, which 
 le.ave the depot, at the junction of Chatham and Centre streets, 
 opposite the City Hall, every fitteen minutes during the day. 
 
 No stranger should leave the commercial metropolis till he has 
 visited one or both of the reservoirs, of the most splendid and. ex- 
 pensive public work of modern times. It was at first estimated 
 that it would cost five or six millions of dollars •. and at the city

 charter election of 1835, the citizens were required to vote for or 
 against supplyiiij^' tlie city in this way. Tlie whole nuinber of 
 votes given was 17.;J:iO, of which 5,9G3 were against it, and 11,3G7 
 in favor of it. It was ])robably a happy oircunistanee that it was 
 not then knov/n how much it ■\vouid ultiniaiely cost; u.s, after 
 I'.aving experienced its L'reat advantage?, no oi:e now regrets its 
 coustructi(jn. Tlie aqueduct cunnnemes at the t roton Kiver, live 
 miles from the Hudson River, in VV'esiohester county. 
 
 The miiiiniuni fl .w of water i)i the river, where the dam i.s con- 
 structed, is Considered to be twenty-seven millions of gallons Ut 
 every t\vt;nty-l'iur liours, which would be a sufrtcient siippiy for 
 one million <.f inhahifanrs. It is considered that the sujipiy f»r 
 the present is ahnndaiit, e^'en during a season oi' drought, for one 
 million and a-half of inhabitants, nearly five times the presenc 
 Ijopulation; and stivams can be found which can be turned into 
 the upper branches of the iroton, if the tin.e ever arrives when 
 the population of tlie city will require an increased supply. 
 
 The velocity of the water m the aqueduct; has been ascertained 
 to be about me mile and ahaif an huiir, where it is two teet deep. 
 
 The Dam — Is Siii feet l.ng, 7U feet wide at bottom, and 7 feet at 
 top, and 40 feet high, built of stone and cement. It creates a jxiud 
 live miles lou',', covering a surface of 4'JU acres, and contains 
 51 J0,O0n,{J00 gallons of w:-.>er. 
 
 The^ .fjrjueduct proceeds from the dam, son:etin;€s tunnelling 
 through solid roc.'-s. cro.ssing valleys by embankments, and broolv5 
 by culverts, until it reaches Harlem iUver. adistanee of thirty-lhrte 
 miles. It is built of scone, brick, and cement, arched over and 
 undei", si.K feet three inches witie at bottom, seven feet eight inclies 
 at the top of the side walls, and eight feet live inches high, has a 
 descent of thirteen and a qu:'.rter inches per mile, and will dis- 
 charge sixty millions of gallons in twenty-four hours. 
 
 Aqueduct Bridge at Harlem Siver. 
 
 The Aqueduct will cros.s Harlem river on a magnificent bridge 
 of stone, 1.450 feet long, with 14 piers, eight of them 80 feet span, 
 and seven of 50 feet span, 114 feet above tide-water at the top, and 
 will cost $91^0,000. This bridge is in progress ; and for the present 
 the water is brought across the river in an iron pijiii, laid as an 
 inverted syphon. 
 
 37/c Receiving Reservoir — Is at Eighty-Sixth street, 38 miles 
 from the Crotou Dam, and covers 35 acres, and contains 150 mil- 
 lions of gallons. 
 
 The JJislrli)uting Reservoir — At Fortieth street, about three 
 miles from the City Hall, constrneted with stone and cement, cov- 
 ers four acres, and is 43 feet high above the street, is 36 feet deep 
 when full of water, and holds 20 millions of gallons. Theuce the 
 water is distributed in the city in iron pipes, laid deep under 
 ground, to be secure from frost. A section of the wall on one side 
 of the Reservoir, including the embankment, is 17 feet wide at the 
 top, 33 feet wide at the distanc(> of 16 feet below the lop, and 70 
 feet wide at the bottom. An irn railing bounds the outside and 
 inside of the walk around the top. 
 
 This Ucservoir may be considered the termination of the Croton

 A.queiuc!t, and is distant from the Fountain Reservoir at the Uro- 
 ton, forty and a-half miles. 
 
 The whole cost of the work was about $14,000,000. There 
 are laid between the Distributing Reservoir iu Fortieth street, and 
 the Battery, 150 miles and ^,665 feet of pipe, from 6 to 36 inches 
 in diameter, the niajority of which is from 6 to 12 inches in dia- 
 meter ; and free hydrants are opened in most of ihe streets, besides 
 the fire hydrants. There are 1,400 fire, and 600 free hydrants. 
 
 Introducing of the Water.^-'lhe. water was introduced into this 
 Reservoir on the 4th July, 1842, and on the 14th of October follow- 
 ing, the water was introduced into the city. 
 
 But little inconvenience was felt during the cold weather of last 
 vrinter to the hydrants. No city in the world is now better supplied 
 with pure and wholesome water than the city of New York. 
 
 Ohnrches— Description of Several. 
 
 Among the churches, some deserve to be particularly noticed, on 
 account of their architecture. 
 
 Trinity Church. 
 
 Brief History of the Church.— The members of the Protestant 
 Episcopal Chiirch (then known as the Church of England in 
 America), held their first reliirious services in this city, in a small 
 chapel attached to a fort which stood near the present Battery. 
 The congreration rapidly increasiu}:. Trinity Church was found- 
 ed to meet the emergency in 1696, during the reign of William and 
 Mary, and service was first performed in'itonthe 61 h of February, 
 1697. It was then a small square edifice, but was enlarged in 
 1735, and again in 1737. On the 21st of September, 1776. by the 
 memorable fire, whicli laid waste so great a portion of tJie city, 
 this edifice was entirely consumed. It lay ia ruins during the 
 remainder of the Revolutionary war, at the expiration of which, 
 It was rebuilt, and consecrated by Bishop Provoost in 1790. In 
 1839, an examination having been made of the building, it was 
 deemed advisable to null it down, and erect aisother in its place. 
 The magnificent edifice, located in Broadway, opposite Wall st., 
 (erected under \he. superintendence of Mr. Richard Upjohn, ar- 
 chitect), and of wliich a view is given, is the result — a result truly 
 creditable to tlie age and nation, and one which will prove a last- 
 ing monument of the munificent character of the venerable cor- 
 poration of the parish. 
 
 Description of the Church. — The style of architecture is the per- 
 pendicular Gothic, the peculiar characteristic of which is, that 
 the muUi ms of the windows, and the ornamented panuelings run 
 in perpendicular lines. It is the frsl church erected in this 
 country having the clerestory, and is built entirely of sand stone, 
 even to tiie apex of the spire. The aisle walls are 40 feet in 
 height, and are each supported by eight substantial buttresses, be- 
 tween which are pointed windows, 24 feet high, beautifully or- 
 namented by tr.'^cery cut in srono. A moulded baitlenient sur- 
 mounts these walls, extending thnir whole length. 
 
 The clerestory is supported by roassive piers, rising from the 
 interior of the church, and a succession of arches springing from 
 tliem. It is also surmounted by a battlement, which runs over 
 
12 
 
 the wall of the western end, and iis crowned at the apex by a cross. 
 Each buttress has upon it a pinnacle crocketed at the angles and 
 tcnniriatin^ in a finial. In the western wall of the church is a 
 magnifieenl window, t(,Tnied 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 nmllion in the centre, and 
 is, as are all the other windows, glazed with stained gla-s. 
 
 But that which most strikes the eye with admiration, is the mag- 
 nificence of the tower and s]ure. Covered as they are with elaborate 
 ■work, cut in solid stone, and running up to the heiirht of CS3 f'ct, 
 their imposing grandeur is beyond description. The base of the 
 tower is 30 leel s<iuare, and 6 feet 9 inches through, :md is sup- 
 ported by double buttresses 4 feet wide, projecting 7 feet 6 inches. 
 
DESCRIPTION OP 13 
 
 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 the 
 top of the cross whieh crowns it, to the height of 156 feet, thus 
 making the aggregate height 283 feet. It is octagonal, and each 
 angle is decorated by a succession of crockets. The steeple con- 
 tains a clock, and a chime of bells. 
 
 The interior of Trinity is equally as beautiful a.s the exterior 
 The nave is 137 feet long, 36 feet wide, and 67 feet 6 inches high,

 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 per- 
 sons. There are no galleries in the church. 
 
 The vestry at the west end of the church, forms a fine apart- 
 ment 72 feet in length, wiih a groined ceiling. In it are placed all 
 the monumental tablets formerly in the other building. i\inong

 Tlic Middle Dutch Church — In Liberty street, corner of Nassau, 
 has been recently relinquished for public worship, having been 
 rented to the General Government for the use of a Post Office. 
 This venerable edifice has stood for one hundred an/l fifteen years, 
 and eight or nine successive generations (cotinting those who were 
 aged at the time of its opening), have worshipped within its walls. 
 On Sabbath evening, 11th August, 1844. the cloifiug exercises were 
 held in the church, in the view of resigning it for other uses. lu 
 connection with the usual devotional exercises, a -sermon was 
 preached by the Rev. Dr. Knox, the senior pfLstor, from John iv. 
 20-24, and an address delivered by the Rev. Dr. De Witt, one of 
 the pastors. During the Revolutionary war, iu 1776, when the 
 British took possession of the city, several of the churches were 
 occupied .and greatly injured by the British soldiery; but the 
 Middle Dutch Church suffered the most Being directly adjacent 
 to the famous sugar-house, the scene of atrocious and ui'iltiplied 
 cruelties iiillicted 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 v/as displayed. The 
 whole of the interior was destroyed and rendered desolate. It Avas 
 not till 1790 that the church was repaired, and again opened for 
 divine worship. 
 
 Hotels. 
 
 The Battery Hotel, kept by Mary Pettit and Brother, at No. 2 
 Greenwich Street, and the Rainbow CotTee House, at No. 27 
 Beekman Street, by William Dillon, are two well managed 
 establishments. 
 
 The Battery and Castle Garden. 
 
 The Battery — At the southern end of the city, i.*! situated at the 
 junction of Hudson and E.ast Rivers. It is in the form of a crescent. 
 and contains about 1 1 acres of ground, beautifully laid out with grass 
 plats and gravelled walks, and shaded with trees, f i-om this spot 
 is a fine view of the bay, with its islands, and the adjacent shores 
 of New Jersey, and Long and Staten Islands, and the scene is ge- 
 nerally enlivened by shipping under sail. 
 
 Castle Garde7i — Is built on a mole, and connected with the Bat- 
 tery by a bridge. It was originally erected as a fortification, and 
 having become unnecessary for this purpose, w.as ceded by the 
 United States to the corporation of the city, in 1823. Within its 
 walls, 10,000 people can be accommodated in a great amphithea- 
 tre ; and it is frequently used lor public meetings and exjiibitions.

 tains the City Hall, the new City Hall, or old Alms House, and the 
 Rotunda. It has also, towards its southern part, a public foun- 
 tiiin, within a basin, about one hundred feet in diameter, which 
 has a v.ariety of jets, which are occasionally changed. When the 
 "^itcr is throwQ in a Ringle stream, it ascends to the height of

 about 70 feet, presentini; a majestic and interesting appearance. 
 The fountain has recently been ciick-sed with an ornamental iron 
 railinj^. 
 
 The Bowling 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 statiie of George III., -which was con- 
 verted into bullets at that period. It contains a public fountain, 
 which is supplied by the Groton waterworks. In th< centre of a 
 large basin is placed a rude pile of huge rocks in a somewhat cir- 
 cular torm, about I') feet in diameter, and as many feet high, and 
 from tlie top issues a jet, and small jets around it, and presents, 
 by the water pouring and tumbling down the sides of the rocks, a 
 wild and picture.sque appearance. 
 
 Hudson Square or St. John's Park. 
 Hudson Square, or St. John's Park, between Beach, Laight, 
 Varick and Hudson .';treets, is private property, belonging to 
 Trinity churcli, but has been reserved as a pernuinent public square.

 rounded by an iroii fence, wliich cost ;j-26,0(JU It contains about 
 four acres of ground, and has on its eastern side St. J(.'hn's 
 Episcopal church, of beautiful proportions, wilh a lofty spire. It

 in the city. 
 
 Washington Square. 
 Washington Square, a mile and a half north of tte City Hall, 
 between VVooster and M'Uougal streets, contains about 9Ji acres 
 of ground. Two-thirds of tlie area was the Potter's Field until 
 1827, and tlie remainder was jmrchased by the city for about 
 $78,000, and the whole \ras enclosed by a wooden fence, which cost 
 nearly $a,(iOO. laid out in walk ->, and planted with trees. On the 
 eastern side it has the fiue building of tlie New York University, 
 and an elegant Dutch church, both handsome specimen.^ of Gothic 
 architectiire. On the northern and southern sides it has blocks of 
 fine buildings, and is destined, when the trees shall be fully grown, 
 to be a highly ornamental ground. 
 
 Union Place. 
 Union Place, at the northern termination of Broadway, is in an 
 elliptical form, enclosed with a fiue iron fence, having a' public 
 fountain in the centre with ornamental jets, and is a delightful 
 breathing-place to the inhabittmts. All these public grounds are

 other public squares, us Madison .Square, Hamilton Square, and 
 others, not yet regulated. On the east are Tompkins Square and 
 Bellevue, the latter the seat of the new almshouse. 
 
 The City Hall, and other Buildings in the Park. 
 The City Hall, heretofore regarded as much the finest building 
 in the oity, and one of the finest in the United States, has a com- 
 
16 
 
 NEW YORK. 
 
 manding situation in the middle of the Park, though somewhat in 
 the rear, and shows to greater advanta^'e than either of the fine 
 buildings to be described. It has more ornament than either the 
 Exchange or the Custom House, but less simple grandeur ; though 
 with its furniture, it is, perhaps, the most interesting building in 
 the city. It is 216 feet long, n.ad 1U5 wide. The front and ends 
 are constructed of white marble, and the rear of brown freestone. 
 It is two stories high above the basement, with a third, or attic 
 story, in the centre building; and there rises from the centre a 
 cupola, containing a clock, of fine workmanship, and on the top, a 
 colossal statue of Justice. In the upjier part of this cupola is a 
 room occupied by a watchman, whose business it is to give alarm 
 in case of fire ; and, from this elevated position, he is able to over- 
 look the whole city. Behind this is another less elevated cupola, 
 with eight Ionic columns, which contains the Citj' Hall bell, 
 weighing 6,9l0 pounds, whose deep and solemn tones often sound 
 the knell of property, and by the different number of strokes, in- 
 dicate the district of the city in which a fire occurs. The front of 
 the City Hall is ornamented with columns and pilasters of the 
 Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite orders, rising above each other 
 in regular gradation. Tlie building is entered in front by a flight 
 of twelve marble st»ps. In the centre is a double staircase, as- 
 cended by marble steps, at the top of which is a circular gallery, 
 floored with marble, from which ten marble columns of the Corin- 
 thian order ascend to the ceiling, where is a handsome panelled 
 dome, ornamented with stucco, and a skyliglit, which gives light 
 to the interior of the building. There are halls which lead from 
 the centre to each end of the building in each story. In the ba.se- 
 ment and the stories there are twenty-eight offices and other pub- 
 lic rooms, the most conspicuous of which are the Governor's room, 
 and the chambers of the common council and assistant aldermen. 
 
 The Govcr7ior's Room is appropriated to the use of the Governor 
 of the State when he visits the city, and has been used as a recep- 
 tion room for other distinguished men who have occasionally been 
 here. It is 52 by 20 feet. The walls of the 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 
 Governors, and the principal militarj' and naval heroes of the late 
 war, all of which are regarded as excellent likenesses, and many 
 of them are full-length portraits. 
 
 The Common Council Room is 42 by 30 feet, and the president 
 occupies the identical chair occupied by General Washington when 
 he presided over the first American Congress, which assembled in 
 New York. It i.s surmounted, as is meet, by a canopy. 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, j ainted by Trumbull, of which that of Washing- 
 ton'is thought to be the best in existence, when he was in the prime 
 of life. The room of the assistant aldermen is handsomely fitted up. 
 
 The Superior Court Room is very neat and convenient, 42 by 
 30 feet, anil neatly fitted up for its purpose. But lie who looks 
 over the several apartments of this bnildiug will obtain a better 
 idea of it, than he can from any concise description. The building 
 was commenced in 1S03, and completed in 1812, and cost ;jr53S;734. 
 
DESCRIPTION OF 
 
 17 
 
 The Hall of Records, east of the City Hall, in the Park, is two 
 stories high, with a lofty portico of four Ionic pilars on each front; 
 and in the rear of it is the New City Hull, formerly the old alms- 
 house, which contains fifteen offices, besides the Marine Court 
 Room, and the rooms of the American Institute, the latter con- 
 taining a valuable library, and various interesting models of ma- 
 chines. 
 
 The Merchants' Exchange. 
 
 The Merchants' Exchange covers the whole space between 
 Wall, William, Exchange, and South William Streets. It has a 
 somewhat confined situation, and shows to less advantage than if 
 it were surrounded by open grounds. It is built in the most sub- 
 stantial form, of blue Quincy granite, and is 200 feet long by 171 
 to 144 feet wile. 77 feet high to the top of the cornice, and 1-24 to 
 the top o: the dome. The front on Wall Street has a recessed 
 portico of 18 massive Grecian-Ionic columns, 33 feet high and four 
 feet four inche.*. in diameter, each formed from a solid blorik of 
 stone, and weighing 43 tons. It n^quired the best application of 
 the mechanical powers, aided by horses, to raise these enorn, ous 
 masses. Besides numerous other rooms for various purposes, the 
 Exchange in the centre is in a circular form, SO feet in diameier, 
 with four recesses, making the length and breadth each 100 feet, 
 the whole 80 feet high, surmounted with a dome, resting in part 
 on eight Corinthian columns of Italian marble, 41 feet high, and 
 lighted by a sky light, '25 feet in diameter. On the south side of 
 the roof is a telegraph, which communicates with another ou 
 Staten Island ; an 1 an hourly repart is sent d :)wn from the telegraph 
 to the news-room, for public inspection. When it is recollected 
 that this fine building has been ej-ected in the plaice of an elegant 
 exchange building, burned in the great fire in 1^35, it is a matter 
 of congratulation that this building is absolutely incombustible, no 
 wood but the doors and vrindow frames having been used in its 
 construction. The cost of this building, including the ground, i,s 
 estimated at $l,S0O,O00. 
 
 The Custom House. 
 
 The Custom House, at ♦:he head of Bi-oad sreet, and on the cor- 
 ner of Wall and Na.ssau streets, is a splendid building, consti-ucted 
 in the Doric order of Grecian architecture. It is built in the most 
 substantial manner f white marble, something after the model of 
 the Parthenon at Athens. It occupies the site of the old Federal 
 Hall, in the open gallery of which General Washington was inau- 
 gurated ; and nearly over the front door is the pliice where he 
 stood when the oath of office, as first President of the Uuiteil States, 
 was administered to him by Chaneellur Livingston, April 30th, 
 1789. The building is '200 feet long. 90 feet wide, and SO feet high. 
 At the southern end on Wall street, is a portico of eight purely 
 Grecian Doric columns, 5 feet 8 inches in diameter, and 32 feet 
 high ; and on the northern end on Pine street, is a coj responding 
 portico of similar columns. The front portico is ascended by 
 eighteen rnarble steps, and the rear portico on Pine street by only 
 three or four marble step.":. It is two lofty stories high ahove the 
 basement story. The great busine.^s hall is a splendid circular 
 room. 60 feet in diameter, with re'^.-sses and galleries, making it 30 
 
18 NEW YORK. 
 
 feet in diameter, surmounted by a dome, supported by 16 beautiful 
 Corinthian columns, 30 feet high, ornamented in the dome with 
 stucco, and at the top with a skylight. On each side, are 13 pilas- 
 ters, in perfect keeping with the pillars on the two fronts. The 
 cost of the building and its furniture was f>9o0,000; and including 
 the ground, $1,175,000. It has other large apariments than those 
 specified, fur various business purposes. It is absolutely incom- 
 bustible, and may be expected to stand to a late posterity. 
 
 The Kalis of Justice. 
 
 The Halls of Justice occupy the space between Centre. Elm, 
 Leonard, and Franklin Streets, and is a unique and beautiful l)iiild- 
 ing. of the Kgyptian architecture. It is 253 feet long, and 200 feet 
 wide, the front of which is occupied by the niain building, and 
 other outer portions of which consist of lofty walls, with apart- 
 ments in some of their partn. Within this enclosure, and toward 
 its back part, is the houiie of detention or prison, 112 feet long and 
 45 feet wide, which is entirely separate from the outer wall and 
 building, and consists of 148 cells, for different classes of prisoners. 
 The two fronts on Franklin and Leonard streets have each two 
 entrances, with two massive columns each ; and the back entrance 
 forms a carriage way, for taking ]n-Isoners to and from the house of 
 detention. This building, though handsome of its Kind, has a 
 heavy and gloomy aspect, which has ac([uirei! for it the name of the 
 Ei^yptiun Tombs. It is constructed of a light colored granite,

 The Institute has e.stablished re^'ular annual courses of instruc- 
 tion, by means of popular lectures ou a variety of subjects, and es- 
 pecially in chemical and mechanical ])hilusophy. It has also, at the 
 rooms "of the Institute, in the ba.sement of the City Hall, an excel- 
 lent library, containingabout fifteen hundred volumes; a reading- 
 room, supplied with the must popular reviews, literary and scien- 
 tific journals, the dally and weekly newspapers; a museum of 
 models of machinery, and a valuable collection of chemical and phi- 
 Iosophic;d apparatus. 
 
 'J'his Institute has also established an Annual Fair, by which 
 means the results of the genius and induiitry of the mechanic find 
 a ready aveuut; to the public eye. 
 
 The Hai-lem Rail Road. 
 This railroad extends frum opposite the (Jity Hall, on Centre 
 street, to Broome street, where it turns at right angles to the 
 Bowery, and there it again turns nearly at right angles, and fol- 
 lows the Bowery to Avenue Fourth, ou which it proceeds to Harlem, 
 eight miles, and crossing Harlem river, it is exteiided into 
 \Vestcbest-er county, and is to he continued until it intersects the 
 Eastern road to Albany at Springfield. A part of this course is a 
 deep cut through solid rock, with a tunnel o95 feet long, 24 feet, 
 wid3, and 21 high to the crown of the arch, and a high embank- 
 ment. It h;is a doubla track the whole length ; and, to Harlem, 
 cost $137,5U0 per mile, being by far the most expensive railroad 
 for its length now iu the United States. 
 
 The city is connected with Long Island by seven ferries, four of 
 which proceed to Brooklyn, and three to Williamsburg. Of the 
 ferries lo Brooklyn, the South Ferry extends from Whitehall, New 
 York, to Atlantic street, Brooklyn, and is 1300 yards wide ; the 
 Fulton Ferry extends from Fulton street, New York, to Fulton 
 street, Brooklyn, and is 731 yards wide; the Catherine Ferry ex- 
 tends from Catherine street. New York, to Alain street, Brooklyn, 
 and is 736 yards wide ; the Navy Yard Ferry extends from VVahiut 
 street, New York, to Jackson street, Brooklyn, and is 707 yards 
 wide. Of the three ferries to Wiliiamsburg. one is aI>out OoO yards 
 wide, and another, crossing East Kiver obliquely, is about a ndle 
 imd a half in length. Three ferries connect ihe city with New 
 Jersey; one from Cortlandt Street, New York, to Jersey City, is 
 about a mile wide, and two f-irries. one from the foot of Barclay 
 streat, and another from the foot of Canal street. New York, to 
 Hoboken. which are wider. On two ferries, boats are continually 
 plying to Stateu Island. Thus the insular situation of New York 
 proves no serious disadvantage. The ferries to Brooklyn are by 
 far the most important, as manj- persons who do business in New 
 York reside in that city. These ferries are crossed in from four 
 to six minutes, at the charge of two cents.

 CELEBRATED ESTABLISHMENTS IN NEW-YORK. 
 
 The Daguerrean Rooms of Mkssrs. W. & W. H. LEWIS, No. 
 142 Cliatham-street, second lloor, are elegantly fitted up for the aceom- 
 inodatioii of sitters. The art, thongli of recent date, has almost reached 
 perfection, <,'reat improvements liavins; been made in the Apparatus and 
 otherwise. The Messrs. Lewis having bsen among the first to manu- 
 facture Apparatus, &c., and being practical men, have been in a posi- 
 tion to secure to their patrons atl the advantages in these respects a.-> 
 they have come into use. Tliey have also attacheiJ to their establish- 
 ment an extensive machine shop, where they mannfacture Hat-Fressinjj 
 Machines, &c., which Jiave met with general ap])robation among the 
 trade, and have nearly sujjerseded all others. 
 
 THE BOWERY SAVINGS STORE is an institution established for 
 the sale of Dry Goods, lucated at 1-G 1'owkry. The business is con- 
 ducted on a novel principle, the buyer and seller sharing the profit which 
 usually goes to the commission merchant, the imjjurter, or the Jobber. 
 It is the largest concern in New-York, not wholesale, and is doing the 
 largest business ever done in any retail house in the United States. 
 Foreign Goods are imported by tlie concern. Domestic (ioods are made 
 expressly under the supervision of one of the managers, and received 
 from the factories. It has become ncjessary, since the opening of tlie 
 institution, to enlarge twice, but nov.' there .seenvs ample accommodation. 
 Country Dealers can buy in any instance to much better advantage here 
 than of the Jobbers, if they buy for cash. You can buy liere on no 
 other terms. The mutual principle involved in the mode of doing busi- 
 ness here, whereby the purchaser is allowed the jirotit, usually the in- 
 come of the jobber or importer, has become immensely i)opular, and is 
 so pleasing to the patrons of this establishment, that none speak of it 
 but in terms of satisfaction and commendation, conceding that the name 
 is not inappropriately applied.

24 wilso.n's railroad guide 
 
 about 4 miles by its course from its entrance into Newark Bay. Was 
 settled in 1666, by a company from Guilford, Branford, Milford, and 
 New Haven, Conn. It is tlierefore eminently New England and puri- 
 tanic in its origin. They purchased a territory including several of the 
 neighboring towns from the Indians, foi £l'Sb New England currency, 
 12 blankets and 12 guns. They formed a government and admrnLstered 
 it, often disputing the claims of the proprietaries, by holding to an ori- 
 ginal and superior right, derived from purchase from the natives. Ro- 
 bert Treat, afterwards governor of Connecticut, was chosen the first 
 recorder or town-clerk. 
 
 The city stands on a plain of fertile loam, 30 or 40 feet above the 
 level of ihe liver, with a rising ground on the west ; is regularly laid out in 
 broad straight streets, has two large and elegant public squares, bordered

 in the Egyf)tian style. The New Jersey R.R.Co. have a large and fine 
 building i'-:T a depot, which is an ornament to the place. There are 
 about 20 churches, several of which exhibit much architectural beauty, 
 three banks, several literary societies, iic, tec. Its commerce is con- 
 siderable and increasing ; its tonnage in 1840 was 6687. A whaling 
 company was incorjioratcd in J833. For its extent, Newark is a great 
 manufacturing place, having, in jy40, $1,. 511, 339 of capital employed 
 in manufactures. The Passaic is navigable to this place for vessels of 
 100 tons burthen. Newark has communication with New York twice 
 a day by steamboat, during a great jiart of the year, as well as almost 
 hourly by railroad. The Morris canal passes through Newark ; and the 
 Morris and Essex railroad — connecting it v/ith Morristown, Morris Co., 
 N.J., distant about 23 miles — commences here.

 cost of .$86,687, 1000 feet lon'^', resting on 11 stone piers and abutments. 
 The superstructure is of wood, and divided into two carriage ways. 
 The railroad bridge (•see p. 4,} is a little above. Tlie Delaware and 
 Raritan canal commences here and extends to Trenton, distant 42 
 miles. It was commenced by a joint stock company in 1831, and 
 united with the Camden and Amboy Railroad Co. the same year ; and 
 under this joint management tlie work was completed in 1834, at a 
 cost, including the Delaware feeder (which commences at Bordentovvn 
 and is navigable), of $2,500,000. It is 75 feet wide and 7 deep, ad- 
 mitting ihe^passage of sloops of 75 or 100 tons burden. The tide sets 
 U]) the Raritan 2 miles above the city, and the river admits vessels of 
 200 tons to its wharves ; and, in connection with the canal, Delaware 
 River, and Long Island Sound, firms a complete inland water commu- 
 nication between the cities of New York and Philadelphia. Enjoying 
 these and ether facilities of communication, north and south, the trade 
 of New Brunswick is extensive. 
 
 From the canal a very important water power is obtained, with a fall 
 of ]4 feet, on which are several manufactories, rojjulation about 9000. 
 
 Oi.DBRiDGE is a small village of about 20 houses.

 Elizabethtown in 1746 ; the next year it was removed to Newark ; in 
 1748 a royal charter was granted to it by the above title. It remained 
 at Newark ten years, and in 1758 it was removed to and permanently 
 established at Princeton. It has a president, 10 or 12 professors, or in- 
 structors, and a library of 12,500 volumes. The number of students 
 ranges from 100 to 200. Its .situation is peculiarly salubrious, and it

 Trenton, city, Mercer Co., 
 the metropolis of New Jersey, 
 capital of the state, and seat of 
 justice for Mercer co., is situated 
 on the east bank of the Delaware 
 opposite the lower falls, and at 
 the head of steamboat and 
 sloop navigation, 10 miles S.VV. 
 Princeton, and 59 miles fiom 
 Jersey City. The city is regu- 
 larly laid out, and ha^ many 
 handsome stores, dwellings, and 
 other edifices. Its public build- 
 ings are the slate-liouse, 100 feet 
 long by 60 wide, built of stone 
 and stuccoed to resemble granite, 
 beautifully situated on the Dola- 
 ware, commanding a fine view 
 of the river and surrounding 
 scenery ; the city hall, and an 
 elegant court-house, all fire- 
 proof. The governor's house is 
 a plain and commodious edifice. 
 There are also two banks, a i)ub- 
 lic library, founded in 1750, a 
 lyceum, and a number of 
 churches in the city proper. x'\t 
 South Trenton, a suburb of the 
 city, comprising the villages of 
 Mill Hill, Bloomshury and Lam-

 The Delaware and Raiitan canal passes through the city, and 
 is here entered by a navigable feeder, extending 23 miles below the 
 city. The canal crosses Assanpink Creek, east of the city, on a fine 
 stone aqueduct. Above the falls the Delaware is navigable for large 
 boats as far as Easton, which adds much to the commercial ad- 
 vantages of Trenton. At the foot of the falls, or rapids, a beau- 
 tiful covered bridge crosses the river, 1100 feet long, resting on five 
 arches supported on stone jiiers, — which is regarded as a fine sjiecimen 
 of tliis species of architecture. It is of sufficient width to allow of two 
 carriage ways, one of whicli is appropriated to tlie railroad. 
 
 Water-power for manufactories, of v.'hich there are a number here, is 
 derived from the Assanpink creek, from a canal or raceway, construct- 
 ed by an incorporated company, by which the water is taken from the 
 Delaware, 5 miles above tiie city, across the creek, by an aqueduct 
 through So. Trenton and tlience to the river, and from the feeder of the 
 canal. 
 
 December 25th, 1776, at a gloomy period of the Revolutionary War, 
 Washington crossed the Delaware in the night, and suddenly attacked 
 and cajitured at Trenton 1000 Hessians, forming part of the British 
 army, which greatly revived the spirits of the nation, and had an im- 
 portant intluence on the result of the war. 
 
 MoRRisviLLE, Bucks Co.. Fa., 30 miles N. E. Philadelphia, is situa-

 BoRDENTowN, Burlington Co., N. J., G3 miles S. W. from New- 
 York, and 27 miles N. E. from Philadelphia, is situated on a high bank 
 (wiiich ))revents its being seen to advantage from the river) on the east 
 side of the Delaware, containing 3 or 4 churches, several stores, 200 
 dvvelliugs, and 120!) inhabitants. " The Del. & Rar. Canal has its western 
 termination here, whicli with the Railroad passing through it, makes it 
 a place of hurtle and activity. It was incorporated in 1825. Joseph 
 Bonaparte here fixed liis residence while in tlie United States, and 
 erected a splendid mansion, which with sosne of its rare pictures, was 
 destroyed by fire, and the present buildings are i)Iain but commodious. 
 Bordentown is a favorite resort of the Philadslphians in the summer. 
 
 Bristol, Bucks Co., Pa., is pleasantly situated in a commanding po- 
 sition on the west bank of the Delaware. It is regularly laid out. 
 and neatly built ; was incorporated in 1720. The Delaware Canal, 
 which communicates with the Lehigh Canal at Easton, terminates here, 
 and has an extensive basin. Steamboats from Bordentown and 
 Trenton stop here both ways daily. In its vicinity are two medicinal 
 springs. 
 
 Burlington, N. J., city and port of entry, is pleasantly situated on 
 the ea.st side of the Delaware, opposite Bristol, was laid "out in 1667, 
 incorporated by the proprietaries in 1093, and chartered by tlie State in 
 1784. A great part of the city is isolated by a creek ovVr which are 
 several bridges. It is regularly laid out with streets crossing each other 
 at right angles. Upon Main St. the houses are compactly built, but 
 less so in other parts, with large gardens. It is neatly built, and is 
 highly valued as a rural retreat by the Philadelphians. The bank of 
 the river is a beautiful grassy plain, bordered with elegant dwellings, 
 among which is that of the Bishop of New Jersey, a handsome gothic 
 edifice, surmounted by a cross. The river opposite the harbor is about 
 a mile wide.

 Location, Population, S,-c. 
 
 Philadelphia, the largest city in Pennsylvania, and ne.\t to New- 
 York, the largest in the L'nited States, lat. 39°, 57'. 9'', N. long. 75^, 
 10', 37", W., and ]0, 50', 47"" W. long, from Washington. The city 
 proper is situated between the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, extend- 
 ing east and west from one to the other about 5 miles above their junc- 
 tion, and from Vine Street on the north to Cedar or South Street on the 
 south. The adjoining districts of the Northern Liberties, Spring Gar- 
 den, Kensington and Penii Town-hip on the north, and Southwark, 
 Moyamensing and Passayunk on the south, are governed by separate 
 municipal authorities, distinct from the city pro))er, but are always 
 understood as included in a popular sense under the name of the city. 
 
 Philadelphia was first laid out in 1()8'2. The ground selected was 
 claimed by three Swedes by the name of Swenson, under a grant by 
 one of the Dutch governors of New York, in 1004. This claim was 
 extinguished by Penn, on his arrival, by giving them in exchange a 
 tract on the Schuylkill, above Fairmount. Shortly after his aniival, 
 Penn held a treaty with the Indians, under a large elm tree, at Shacka- 
 maxon (now Kensington), at which the most amicable relations were 
 settled between the colonists and the Indians. This venerable tree was 
 regarded and p.-eserved with great reverence as a memorial of this in- 
 teresting transaction, until it was blown down in 1810. A marble 
 monument with an ai)jno])riate inscription has been erected on the spot. 
 
 In ]()S4, the city contained 2500 inhabitants; in 1740, 15,000; in 
 3800, 70,287; in 1810, 96,287; in 1820, 119,325; in 1830, 167,325; 
 in 1840, 228,691. 
 
 The city is built on a i)lain slightly ascending from each river. The 
 streets vary from 50 to 100 feet in width. Tiie city was originally laid 
 out with uncommon regularity, all the streets crossing each other at 
 rigiit angles, which is still llie case with tlie excejjtion of Dock street, 
 wiiich is crooked, occupying the site of a former navigable creek, now 
 obliterated, having been arched over. 
 
 The principal harbor oi' Philadelphia is on the Delaware river, where 
 large vessels come up, and foreign commerce centres ; but the Schuyl- 
 kill affords a convenient harbor "for small vessels, and has become si>e- 
 cially important since the extensive opening of tha coal trade.

FROM NEW- YORK TO WASHINGTON. 31 
 
 Fairmount Water Works, situated on the east side of the Schuyl- 
 kill above the city. This is a jjublic establishment which Pliiladelpliia 
 _fustly holds in the highest esteem, not only for its incalculable utility, 
 but for the romantic beauty of its situation. 
 
 In 1812, the construction of steam works was commenced at Fair- 
 mount, (the city having been supplied previously by means of two 
 steam works ; one on Chestnut street near the Schuylkill, forcing the 
 water to the other at Centre now called Penn square,)" and in 1815 was 
 so far completed as to be put in operation. 
 
 But it soon became apparent tliat the small and expensive supply- 
 thus obtained would not meet the demand of a great and growing city, 
 and that some other system must be adopted better calculated to secure 
 the great objects of economy and abundance. Accordingly in 1818. 
 the city councils, in compliance with a recommendation of the water- 
 ing committee, authorized the erection of the dam and water works 
 now in operation : the first wheel was put in motion, July 1, 1822. 
 
 The wiiole works occupy about 30 acres, the greater part of which 
 consists of the Mount, about 100 feet above the water in the river, and 
 50 feet above the highest ground in the city. On the top of the mount 
 are four reservoirs, inclosed by a paling, and surrounded by a gravel 
 walk, having flights of steps ascending from below. The side of the 
 mount facing the Schuylkill presents a beautiful natural appearance, 
 consisting of rock, covered with trees, shrubbery, moss, vines, &c., 
 beautifully intermingled ; the ground at the base is handsomely laid 
 out with walks, grass, trees, fountains, &c. ; the part of the iSlount 
 towards the city presents a more artificial, though beautiful appearance, 
 being a regular declivity of luxuriant grass. 
 
 The requisite power for propelling the machinery is obtained by 
 means of a dam ItiOO feet in length, thrown across the river, from which 
 a race upwards of 400 feet long and 90 feet wide, e.xcavated from the 
 solid rock, conveys the water to the forebays in front of the wheels. 
 The mill-house is of stone, 238 feet long and .56 feet wide, being cal- 
 culated for eight water wheels, each 15 feet in length and from 14 to 18 
 feet in diameter. These wheels have iron shafts weigliing about five 
 tons each, and in most of them the arms and rims are also of iron. 
 To each shaft is affixed a crank, working a double forcing pump, by 
 which the water is raised into tlie reservoirs. The pumps have a diame- 
 ter of 16 inches with a stroke of five feet, making from 12 to 13 strokes 
 in a minute ; each pump raising about a million and a quarter of gal- 
 lons in 24 hours, ana being connected with an iron main 16 inches in 
 diameter, which passes across the bottom of the race and up the side 
 of the mount into the reservoir, 92 feet above the level of the dam. 
 The reservoirs cover an area of upwards of six acres ; they are twelve 
 feet deep, lined with stone and paved with bricks laid ujjon a bed of 
 clay in strons: lime cement, and made watertight. The water is con- 
 veyed from tiiein into the city by two iron mains, one 20 and the other 22 
 inches in diameter ; from which branches, from 6 to 10 inches in dia- 
 meter, are laid through the principal streets, and from tiiese, smaller 
 ones, into the other streets and alleys. From the main pipes the water 
 is conveyed mto the yards or dwellings by small lead or iron pipes. 
 Fire plugs are placed in the streets at convenient distances, to which 
 leathern hose may be attached, by means of which water is supplied to the 
 engines, or carried into the burning building. These fire plugs also fur- 
 nish copious streams of water with which the streets are washed almost 
 daily during the warm season. 
 
32 Wilson's railroad guide 
 
 The cost of erecting the present works in 1822, with the additions of 
 permanent work annual!)- made (not including repairs to the dam,) up 
 to the end of the year IHJ-J, amounted to about |l, 500,000. In 1818, 
 the expense of working one steam engine and pumj) ibr one year was 
 §30,858 ; and with this expenditure not more than 1,600,000 gallons 
 could be raised in 'J4 hours. At this rate the expense of supj)lying the 
 city by steam i)0vver, with the same quantity of water now used, would 
 be i$2-27 per day ; while the present exjjense of tiie water i)ower, for 
 attendants' wages, oil, fuel, k.c., is about $7 per day. 
 
 Omnibuses run hither from tlie Exchange. 
 
 Sp}-incr Oardcn IVatcr IFor/is, about a mile or so above Fairmount, 
 and in a north-westerly direction from the Girard College. 
 
 These works have only lately been constructed, having been com- 
 menced in 1844, and linished the next year. 
 
 The motive power used here, for forcing the water out of the Schuyl- 
 kill into the basin above, is dfferent from that of Fairmount ; — the 
 water is forced by steam engines through a large iron pij)e, laid under 
 ground, a distance of more than half a mile, to a large reservoir — from 
 thence being distributed in a manner similar to Fairmount Works. 
 
 The Engine house, which is romantically situated in a little glen, is 
 quite a handsome structure ; the machinery, &c., is complete, and 
 kept in the most perfect order ; the basin is in a remarkably fine and 
 commanding position, — being more elevated than Fairmount — and is 
 situated in the midst of u beautiful section of the country. 
 
 BRIDGES. 
 
 Gray'fi Ferry Brkl.rre, at the lower part of the city, was built by 
 the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Co. 
 
 One side of it is used by the railroad, and the other by the imblic. 
 There is a drawbridge in the centre for the passage of vessels along the 
 stream. 
 
 Market Street Bridge, also called Permanent Bridge. This costly 
 and substantial structure was erected by a private company, incorpo- 
 rated Jor the purpose, in ]7!)8. 
 
 Six years were occupied in its completion. It consists of tliree arches 
 of very strong timber, supported by stone piers, with two abutments 
 and wing walls ; the whole length of the bridge, including abutments 
 and wing walls, being 300 feet. The western \)\er was sunk at a great 
 expense, and in an unexampled depth of water, the top of the rock on 
 which it stands being forty-one feet below common high tides. TJie 
 total cost of this bridge was $-2.35,000 ; besides which the com|)any paid 
 ,§40,000 for the site. It now belongs to the city, and is ojieu to public 
 use, free from tolls. 
 
 JVire Sti.^pcnsion Brido-e at Fairmount. This bridge consists of a 
 large quantity of iron wire bound up into a number of large cables and 
 thrown from shore to shore, resting at each abutment on granite jiillai-s ;^ 
 from which cables the iloor of the bridge hangs by a large number of 
 wire attachments ; forming a beautiful and graceful structure, and quite 
 an ornament to Fairmount. 
 
 It was built hv the county, in 1841, at a cost of $55,000 ; it is 357 
 feet long, and 30 feet above the river. This bridge is also free from tolls. 
 
 The bridge that was formerly here was also an uncommon and beau-

 tiful one, consisting of a single arch of about 340 feet span, resting on 
 abutments of stone, and was the largest arch known. It was destroyed 
 by five in m.¥X 
 
 There are also the Columbia railroad bridge, about three miles above 
 Fairmount ; the Reading railroad bridge at the Falls, about five miles 
 from the city ; one at Manayuuk, and anotlser a short distance above, 
 at Flat Rock. 
 
 The JVavy Yard.— The United States Navy Yard is situated at the 
 southern end of Swanson street, and contains an area of about twelve 
 acres. It is inclosed on three sides with a high and substantial wall, 
 the fourth side fronting on the Delaware. 
 
 The yard contains a mould loft for modelling ships of war ; a black- 
 smith's shop, in which all the iron work is made for the j)ublic ships 
 on this station ; a Ijospital. marine barracks, &c. There are also two 
 large ship-houses, in one of which, the great ship of the line Pennsyl- 
 vania was built. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 There are in the city 144 churches of different denominations. The 
 Presbyterians have 3-J ; the Episcopal, 22; Methodist Episcopal, 19; 
 Methodist Protestant, 5 ; Reformed Presbyterian. 3 ; Associate Re- 
 formed, 2; Baptist, 14; Lutheran, 6; German Reformed, 3 ; Dutch 
 Reformed, 2 ; Friends, (Orthodox 4, Hicksite 3,) 7 ; Roman Catholic, 
 11; Jews, 3, &c., &c. 
 
 PUBLIC SQUARES. 
 
 Philadelphia was provided with many public squares through the 
 wise forecast of its founder. In the original plan, a public square in 
 the centre was designed to contain ten acres ; and one in each quarter 
 of the city, to contain eight acres. Although these designs were never 
 fully carried out, yet there are many public s(juares which are finely 
 ornanipnted, though none of them are very large. 
 
 Washington Square, on Sixth and Walnut streets, formerly used 
 as a public burial ground for the jtoor and strangers, under the name of 
 the Potter's Field, is now a beautiful promenade. 
 
 The State House Yard is at the rear of the State House in Chestnut 
 street, between Fifth and Sixth ; it contains some fine old trees, ren- 
 dering it shady and agreeable. 
 
 FranJdin Square, in Sixth street between Race and Vine, is a large 
 square having a fountain in its centre. 
 
 I^on-an Square, on Schuylkill Fifth street between Race and Vine, 
 and named after James Logan, the friend and secretary of William 
 Penn. 
 
 Rittevhousc Square is also on Schuylkill Fifth street, between Wal- 
 nut and Locust, and named after David Rittenhouse, the philosopher 
 and statesman. 
 
 Penn Square consists of four smaller squares, at the corner of Broad 
 and Market streets. It was formerly called Centre Square from its cen- 
 tral position, and was the site of the old Water Works. It is now laid 
 out with walks similar to other squares,

 Thr. >'tatr Jlou^-r, iiov.' called rmlependence Hall, on the northern 
 side of the square, boiiu'led by Chestnut, ^Valllut, Fiftli and Sixth 
 streets, was begun in 17-29, ajid finished in 1734. The win^s extending 
 from the main building to Fifth and Sixth streets, are of modern con- 
 strnction. The wood work of the steejije by which tlie building was 
 at first surmounted, was found to be so much decayed, tliat about the 
 year 1774 it was taken down, leaving only a small belfry to cover the 
 bell for the use of the town clouk ; and so remained until 1829, when 
 the present steeple was erected on the plan of the original one, which 
 liad been removed. The bell for the first steeple was imported from 
 England in 17.5-2, but was broken by accident when first hung up. A 
 new one was cast in Philadelphia under the direction of Isaac Norris, 
 then Speaker of the Colonial Assembly, to whom we are probably in- 
 debted for the remarkable motto inscribed on it. and which at that 
 early day was little thought to be so singularly prophetic of its future 
 use: "Proclaim liberty tlirougliout the land, and to all the people 
 tliereof " Twenty-four years afterwards a period arrived, '• in the course 
 of human events," when the memorable Declaration of lnde])cndLMice 
 was signed in the building, bcnfaih this very i)ell, and its joyous tones 
 rang loud and clear as it ])roclaimed to anxious thousands' that they 
 were now a free and inde|)endent people. This bell is now cracked 
 and unfit for use ; an attempt has been made lo repair it, but without 
 success. The chamber in which t^ie Declaration was signed, is on the 
 first floor, on the east side of the entrance to the centre building. Con- 
 gress used to hold its sittings in tliis building. 
 
 It is now used, with the exception of the venerable hall, by the 
 coTirts of law. 
 
 The buikling at the northeast corner of the square, is occupied by 
 the mayor and other municipal officers. The one at the northwest corner

 well Address. 
 
 Visitors are admitted into the hall and steeple. 
 
 One of the oldest buildings now standing is the Ho7i.se occupied by 
 WiUiam Penn in 1700, at the southeast corner of Norris's alley and 
 Second street. 
 
 The Swedes^ Church, on Swanson street, in Southwark, near the 
 Navy Yard, was built in 1700 ; tlie present quaint and antiquated little 
 brick building was considered a great edifice at the lime of its erection, 
 and had not its e(}ual in tlie city. 
 
 Christ Church, in Second street above Market, was originally a one- 
 story wooden building, erected in IGO."), having its bell hung in a tree 
 growing near it. It was enlarged in 1710 ; and in 17"27, the western 
 end, as we now see it, was raised, the eastern end not being completed 
 until 173j. 
 
 at. j\HchneVs lAithcran Church, in Fifth street, above Arch, is a 
 venerable old edifice, erected in 1743.

 been the residence of William Penn. 
 
 There is a venerable building called Carpenter's Hall, situated in 
 Carpenter's court, running south from Chestnut street, betweo» Third 
 and Fourth, in which was held the first Congress in Philadelphia, in 
 1774. It was also occupied by the first Bank of the United States. 
 
 The Custom House, (formerly United States Rank,) is one of the 
 most chaste specimens of Grecian architecture in this country. It is an 
 imitation of the I'artbennn, a temple of Athens. The platform on 
 which the building is erected is 87 feet in front by 161 feet deep ; it is 
 built of fine white marble, with eight columns, four feet six inches in 
 diameter, supporting a })lain entablature ; it is situated on tiie south 
 side of Chestnut street, between Fourth and Fifth.

 CEMETERIES. 
 
 Laurel Hill Cemetery. — This beautiful place is situated between the 
 Ridge Road turnpike and the Schuylkill river, about four miles north- 
 ward from Philadelphia. 
 
 The entrance to the Cemetery is from the Ridge turnpike, through a 
 handsome building. Directly opposite will be found Thoni's statues of 
 Old Mortality, his Pony, and of Sir Walter Scott, grouped under an 
 ornamental temple. 
 
 "After contemplating this effort of an uneducated sculptor, the 
 visitor may turn to the right, view the Godfrey Monument — to Godfrey, 
 the inventor of the (luadrant — and the St. John's JjUtheran Church 
 ground, in the northeast corner of the Cemetery. From thence visit 
 the Gothic chanel ; after this, passing in front of the Cottage, and keep- 
 ing it on his left hand, he v.'ill ajiproach towards the river Schuylkill, 
 visiting on his way the classical tomb of Commodore Isaac Hull, after 
 the model of that of the Scipios, surmounted by an American Eagle." 
 This vicinity is very attractive. 
 
 Descending a steep declivity, immediately beside the north boundary 
 fence, persons of taste cannot but be gratified with the rural character 
 of the picturesque scene ; fine old trees of beach, oak, iic, cast a so- 
 lemn shade, while the river meanders in peaceful quiet below. 
 
 Pursuing the walk southward, pass a tomb in the rock, and pause at 
 the obelisk erected over the remains of the venerable Charles Thomson, 
 long tiie confidential secretary of the Continental Congress- 
 Skirling the rocks, which will ne.xtbe encountered, see a Stone Cross 
 piirtiaily covered with viues, on a point of a rock. Here the upward

 view obtained by descending the left-hand path to the water's edge, 
 will amply reward the spectator. 
 
 After leaving the Cross, the visitor may ascend to the upland by the 
 steps of the Summer House, or may pursue the paths of the terraces 
 around the natural amphitheatre south of tlie cross, and then visit the 
 various points of view and monuments, as inclination may dictate. 
 
 At a few feet from the front of the Mercer Monument — to General 
 Mercer — which is west of tlie chapel, by selecting a proper position, 
 the best double view of the Sclmylkill, exhibiting forcibly its beautiful 
 scenery, will be obtained. 
 
 On the southern side, at the distance of little more than a mile, is 
 the viaduct of the Columbian railroad ; on the northwest is the bridge 
 of the Reading railroad, while the river itself, on the opposite bank, 
 presents the canal boat with its quiet and slow movement, or the rapid 
 locomotive of the Reading railroad with its long train. 
 
 This Cemetery is handsomely laid out with gravel walks, and adorned 
 with monuments of great beauty. The lots are inclosed with very 
 neat and beautiful iron railings or chains, and are generally ornamented 
 with the sweetest flowers, shrubbery, &c. — "It is indeed a hallowed 
 place, where affection may delight to deposit the remains of those on 
 whom it has doted." 
 
 For tickets of admission to the Cemetery, the reader is referred to J. 
 Jay Smith, Esq.. Secretary, and also Librarian of the Philadelphia 
 Librarys South Fifth street. 
 
 Monument Cemetery, situated on Broad street, about a mile and a 
 half north easterly from the centre of the city. This Cemetery, con- 
 taining about 20 acres of land, is exceedingly verdant, dry, and 
 finely situated, being an eminence 100 feet above tide water, and on 
 one of the finest streets or roads in Philadelj)liia. 
 
 It is laid out in a beautiful manner, with walks intersecting each 
 other at right angles, ornamented with trees, shrubbery and flowers, 
 and containing a large number of monuments, some of which are ex- 
 ceedingly imposing. Monuments to Washington and Lafayette are to 
 be raised in a reserved plat in a central position of the Cemetery, which 
 is to be made one of the prominent beauties of this beautiful place ; so 
 that the former " Pere la Chaise" has since been appropriately termed 
 Monument Cemetery. 
 
 It possesses a very handsome Chapel, adorned with a graceful spire, 
 of a very appropriate sombre color, which may be seen from a conside- 
 rable distance in the surrounding country ; and which is situated on 
 Broad street, answering the purpose of an entrance, as well as a place 
 for religious services. 
 
 The Cemetery originally belonged to, and was projected by Dr. 
 John A. Elkington ; it is now a corporation, by Act of Assembly, 
 and under the control of a Board of Managers, annually elected by 
 the lot-holders. 
 
 There have been about three thousand interments made on these 
 grounds. 
 
 Persons are admitted by presenting themselves at the entrance.

 PHILADELPHIA TO BALTIMORE. 
 
 From Philadelphia to Baltimore there are two routes: one by the 
 Philacle)|)hia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, passing through 
 Philadelphia and Chester counties Pa., Newcastle co. Del., and Cecil 
 CO. Maryland, to Wilmington ; thence, by ferry across the Susquehanna, 
 to Havre de Grace, and by railroad to Baltimore. The other, by steam- 
 boat through the Delaware river to Newcastle, thence by railroad to 
 Frenchtown, Cecil co., Md., on Elk river ; through Elk river, Chesa- 
 peake Bay, and the Patapsco river to Baltimore. 
 
 The Phil., Bait, and Wil. railroad was commenced by four distinct 
 companies ; but it soon becoming obvious that a union of the various 
 interests was indisjjensable to the full development if all the advantages 
 which, under judicious management, might be anticipated from this 
 important link in the great Atlantic chain, measures were adojited to 
 reorganize the whole, and the sanction of the different legislatures bcin^ 
 obtained, an arrangement was effected by which they were consolidateu 
 under the above title. 
 
 In the construction of this work, several kinds of rail have been 
 adopted for different sections of the route. The bridge rail, weighing; 
 40 [jounds ; the T rail, weighing 56 ; and the heavy bar rail, weighing 
 also 40 pounds per yard, are used throughout the whole, with the e.\cep- 
 tion of a portion of the route between Philadelphia and Wilmington, 
 upon which the heavy plate bar has been laid. The superstructure of 
 the road consists of longitudinal sills, connected by cross-ties, and sur- 
 mounted by string- j)ieces, upon which is laid the iron rail. 
 
 Upon the road are several extensive bridges of the most substantial 
 stone masonrv. The whole was completed and opened in 1837, at a 
 cost of .$1,800,000. Length 1)7 miles. 
 
 The New-Castle and Frenchtown Railroad. Rail used, T ; was 
 commenced in 1830, and completed in 183ii, at a cost of $400,000. 
 Length, 16^ miles.

FROM NEW-YORK TO WASHINGTON, 43 
 
 Havre de Grace, Harford Co., Md.,is situated on the west side 
 of the Susquehanna, at its confluence with tlie Chesapealie. The 
 Susquehanna Canal, connecting the Chesapeake with the canals of 
 Pennsylvania, terminates here. It contains a bank, and is a {)lace of 
 some trade. It was burned by the British under Admiral Cockburn, 
 in 1813. Population about 1200. 
 
 BALTIMORE, 
 
 The third city in size and population in the United States, is situ- 
 ated on the north side of Patapsco River, 14 miles from its entrance into 
 Chesapeake Bay, and 200 miles from the ocean by ship channel, in 
 .390 Vil -.M" N. lat., and in 7GO 37' 3(1" W. long, fnun Greenwich, and 
 0° 27' E. from Washington. 40 miles N. E. Washington, 97 miles 
 S. W. Philadelphia, and 183 miles S. W. New-York. 
 
 The population in 1700 was 13,.5()3 ; in 1800, 2G,514 ; in 1820, 62,738 ; 
 in 1830, 80,625 ; in 1840, 102,313, of whom 3199 were slaves. 
 
 The city is pleasantly situated on a bay which sets up from the north 
 side of thePatapsco, on gently uneven ground, which gives it a fine drain- 
 age, and atibrding many handsome sites fur dwellings, with command- 
 ing elevations on the north and east. As laid out, it includes four 
 miles square, but tlie comjiact part extends about 2 miles from E. to W., 
 and about Ig miles from N to S. The streets are regularly laid out, 
 generally crossing each other at right angles, and are from 50 to 100 feet 
 wide. Baltimore-street is the principal, being 2 miles in length through 
 the centre of the city, and 86 ieet wide. It curves a little on the E. side 
 of Jones's Fall, a small stream passing through the city, from north 
 to south, a little east of the centre, over which are three elegant stone 
 bridges, and four wooden ones, connecting the ditferent parts of the city. 
 The houses are generally built of brick, and they evince substantial 
 Wealth and general prosperity without any ostentation or attempt at 
 display. 
 
 It is well supplied with pure and wholesome water, having in differ- 
 ent parts of the city public springs or fountains, inclosed by circular 
 railings, and covered by small neat open temples. Water is also 
 brought from an elevated part of Jones's Falls, in an aqueduct half a 
 mile long, into a reservoir in Calvert-street, whence it is distributed in 
 pipes throughout the city. 
 
 The City Hall on Holliday-street, is a plain edifice, three stories hig]), 
 has a portico and entablature supported by four massy colnmns, with- 
 out much pretension to architectural elegance, but is a substantial and 
 convenient, building. 
 
 The Exchavge, between Water and Gay-streets, is a splendid build- 
 ing, 235 feet long by 141 wide, four stories high. The hall where the 
 merchants assemble, is 53 feet square. The building has colonnades of 
 six Ionic columns on its east and west fronts, the shafts of which are 
 single blocks of Italian marble, of fine workmanship, and the whole is 
 surmounted by a dome 115 feet above the street. 
 
 The Custom House is entered from Water-street, and has a spacious 
 saloon, divided by three colonnades. 
 
 The Court House, corner of Washington and Monument-streets, is a 
 large and commodious two-story building, 145 ft. long by 05 wide, con- 
 structed of brick and marble. The building, which is elevated ten or 
 twelve feet above the adjacent streets, is approached in front and rear 
 
44 Wilson's railroad guide 
 
 by a flight of steps leading to a platform, supporting several Tuscan 
 columns, on which rests a plain entablature, and is surmounted by a 
 cupola of imposing appearance. Its interior arrangements are such as 
 to render it one of the finest court-houses in the United t>tates. 
 
 The State Penitentianj, corner of Forrest and Madison-streets, con 
 sists of three separate edifices. The centre one being occupied by the 
 keeper and family, and officers and guards ; the west wing by the fe- 
 male convicts, and the east wing, containing 320 dormitories, ranged 
 on both siiles of the building. There are also ranges of workshops 250 
 feet l.tng iiy 25 wide. The prisoners work together during the day, and 
 are confined in separate cells at night. 
 
 The Count]/ Prison, near the Fenitentiary, is a neat building with a 
 semi-octagonal tower at each end, is two stories high, surmounted by a 
 neat cujiola. 
 
 CHURCHES. 
 
 Baltimore contained in 1840, 45 houses of public worship, two of 
 which are particularly distinguished for architectural elegance ; the 
 first is, 
 
 The Roman Catholic Cathedral, corner of Mulberry and Cathedral- 
 streets, which is in the form of a cross, 190 feet long, its breadth at the 
 arms of the cro^s, 177 feet, and its height from the floor to the top of the 
 cioss which surmounts the dome, 127 feet. The building is well lighted 
 by windows in the dome, which are concealed from the spectators be- 
 low. There is an elliptical arch between each of the sujiports of the 
 dome, one of which, at the head of the cross, forms the exterior of a 
 lesser dome above the grand altar. At the west end rise two tall tow- 
 ers, crowned with Saracenic cupolas, resembling the minarets of a 
 Mahometan moso,ue. between which the architect, Mr. Latrobe, de- 
 signed to place an elegant louic portico, which has not been completed, 
 because of the great expense of the building. This would add greatly 
 to its symmetry and beauty. The high altar is very imposing, both in 
 its architecture and its decorations. This cathedral has the largest 
 organ in the United States, having GOOO jiipes and '36 stojjs. 
 
 The Cathedral also contains two splendid paintings ; one. the Descent 
 from the Cross, ])resented by Louis XVL ; and the other, St. Louis 
 burying his officers and soldiers slain before Tunis, i)resented by Charles 
 X. "of France. 
 
 The Unitarian Church, corner of Charles and Franklin-streets, is 
 108 feet long by 78 wide. The front is a colonnade of four Tuscan 
 columns and two pilasters, which form three arcades. From this j)or- 
 tico, five bronze doors, in imitation of those of the Vatican at Rome, 
 open, three leading to the bo ly of the building, and two to the gal- 
 leries. The interior of the church is a square formed by four equal 
 arches of 3:5 feet sj)an, which sujiport a dome 55 feet in diameter. The 
 summit of the cupola is 81) feet high, torrninated by a star of light pass- 
 ing through the glass at the top of the dome, beinq an imitation of that 
 of the I'antheon at Rome. The organ in external form resembles a lyre. 
 
 St. Paul's Episcopal Church, having a lofty tower and steeple ; 
 the First Presbi/tcrian Church, with two towers, surmounted by cu- 
 polas ; and the First Baptist Church, with an Ionic portico and cir- 
 cular dome, are prominent buildings. 
 
FROM NEW-YORK TO WASHINGTON. 45 
 
 MONUMENTS. 
 
 The fVashin^ton Monument, at the intersection of Cliarles and 
 3Ionument-streets, is the most imposing structure in the fity. It con- 
 sists of a Doric column rising from a bcuse 50 feet square, and 20 feet 
 high. Tlie sliaft of the column, vvliicli is ISO feet high and 20 feet in 
 diameter, is hollow, having a winding staircase inside, by which it is 
 ascended. Tiiis column is surmounted by a colossal statue of Wash- 
 ington. The whole is of white marble. From the top is a command- 
 ing view of the city and environs. 
 
 The Battle Monument, at the corner of Calvert and Fayette streets, 
 was erected in ]81;>, to the memory of those who fell in defending the 
 city when attacked by the British in 1814. The base is Egyptian, 
 rising to the height of 20 feet. On each front is an Egyptian doorway, 
 and the whole is surmounted with a deep overhanging cornice with 
 the winged globe and other Egyptian symbols. Above the base the 
 column rises in the Ibrm of a Roman fasces, on the bands of which are 
 inscribed in letters of gidd, the names of those who fell in the battle it 
 commemorates. The whole is surmounted by a beautiful female figure, 
 emblematical of the city of Baltimore. The monument is constructed 
 of fine white marble, and its entire height is 52 feet. 
 
 These with several other monuments have caused Baltimore to be 
 denominated the Monumental City. 
 
 The Literary and Scientific Institutions of Baltimore are 
 various and respectable. 
 
 The Maryland Institute was established for the promotion of the 
 mechanic arts, &c., and has a fine chemical laboratory, and a veiy 
 complete philosophical apparatus. 
 
 The Maryland ^^cadany of Science and Literature, is located in 
 the AthenaEum buildings. 
 
 The jMaryland University, Lombard-street, between Green and 
 Paca-streets, was incorporated in 18J2, and Baltimore College has been 
 merged into it. It is well supplied with professors, and has medical 
 and law de[)artments, which are respectable. The Baltmure Eye In- 
 firmary is connected with the medical part of it. 
 
 St. Man/s College, corner of Frankhn and Green streets, under 
 the direction of the Catholics, was founded in 1799. It has a President, 
 twenty-four Professors or other instructors, and a library of 12,000 
 volumes. Commencement, third Tuesday in July. 
 
 Among the other institutions are McKinun's Free School, occupy- 
 ing a Gothic building, built after the model of a temple of Athens ; the 
 Oliver Hibernian Free School, designed mainly by its founder for the 
 education of the children of Irishmen ; the City Library and the .Ap- 
 prentices Library. 
 
 The charitable and benevolent institutions are numerous. Among 
 these, the Hospital, in the northwestern suburb of the city, a commo- 
 dious building, commanding a fine view of the city and surrounding 
 country, the almshouse, the city dispensary, and several orphan asy- 
 lums, are conspicuous. 
 
 The Commerce of Baltimore is extensive. It possesses most of the 
 trade of Maryland, half that of Pennsylvania, and a portion of that of 
 the Western States. The harbor, which is very fine, consists of three 
 ports. The entrance to it, between Fort McHe'nry and the Lazaretto, 
 
46 Wilson's railroad guide 
 
 is 600 yards wide, with 22 feet water. This depth is continued with an 
 increased width ibr a mile and a quarter, to Fell's Point, where the 
 width is contracted to onB-lourth of a mile. This is the entrance to the 
 second li.irhor which is here about twelve feet deep, but it widens above 
 into an elli])se a mile and a half Ions, half a mile wide, and 15 feet deep. 
 The third, or inner harbor, has a depth of 10 feet, and penetrates to 
 near the centre of the city ; is defended by Fort Mc Henry, at the en- 
 trance of the outer harbor, v/hich successfully resisted a powerful attack 
 by the British fleet during the last war. 
 
 Vessels of 5 or flOO tons can lie at the wharves near Fell's Point, and 
 those of 200 tons can come up to the town. 
 
 Baltimore is the third or fourth city in point of commerce in the 
 United States. As a market for tobacco, it is second to none in the 
 world, and it is the greatest flour market in the world. In 1^40, there 
 were inspected 77,918 barrels. Its tonnage was 76,022. It had nine 
 banks, besides savings banks — aggregate capital, .$2,500,001) ; and nine 
 insurance companies, capital, .?2, 4.50,000. 
 
 The J\I;umfactiires of Baltimore are not less extensive than its com- 
 merce. A great amount of water |)ower is obtained from Jones's Falls 
 and the Patapsco. In 1840, there were within twenty miles of the city 
 sixty flouring mills, besides numerous manufactories of cotton, cloth, 
 powder, pa])er, iron, copper, glass, steam engines, tobacco, chemicals, 
 &c. &c., with a total amount of cai)ital employed of .§2,720,083. 
 
 Its Comnmnication with the surrounding country is jreatly facilitated 
 by several important railroads. The Washington, "Baltimore and Ohio 
 Railroad, extending to Washington, 38 miles; the Baltimore and 
 Ohio Rail Road, which is designed to terminate at 'Wheeling, on the 
 Ohio river ; the r>altnuore and Susquehanna Rail Road, to York, Pa., 
 and the Philadelphia Wilmington and Baltimore road. 
 
 Baltimore was originally settled by the Catholics ; first laid out as a 
 town in 172*) ; in 1705 contained only 51) houses, and was chartered in 
 1797. Few towns in the United States have risen more rapidly. It 
 sustained, during the last war, a combined attack by a British force of 
 about 12,000 men and 40 or 50 vessels. Sixteen ships of the British 
 squadron bombarded Fort McHonry for twenty -four hours, but were 
 repulsed, and drew oft'. About 0,01)0 troops landed at North Point on 
 the 12th of September, and proceeded to within six miles of the city, 
 where they were met and opposed by the Baltimore brigade under 
 General Stryker, consisting of .S2t)0 men ; a severe battle ensued, and 
 the British commander. General Ross, was killed early in the engage- 
 ment. The Americans retreated towards the city on the 13th, and were 
 slowly followed by the enemy But fearful lest their retreat should be 
 intercepted, (which was in contemplation,) they j)reuipitately retired on 
 board their fleet, and left the Chesapeake. 
 
 FROM BALTIMORE TO WASHINGTON, 
 
 By the Washington Branch of the Ohio Rail Road, which leaves tho 
 main line at Patajisco river, proceeds in a general southwest direction, 
 and terminates on Pennsylvania Avenue, distant 38.\ miles from Balti- 
 more. The H rail, weighing 40 lbs. to the square yard, is used, restinjj 
 upon a wooden string-jjiece. The road was completed and opened for 
 travel, August 25, 1845 at a cost of §1,050,000. 
 
FROM NEW- YORK TO WASHINGTON. 
 
 47 
 
 Elkridge, Anne Arundel co. 
 Md. is situated on the S. W. 
 side of the Patapsco, at the head 
 of tide-water. The Washington 
 Branch railroad crosses the river 
 to Baltimore over a splendid via- 
 duct, 700 feet long, resting on 
 eight granite arches, 58 feet above 
 the river. The village contains 
 a lyceum, public library, and 
 several manufactories. It is a 
 great depository for tobacco. 
 
 At Annapolis Junction, 18 
 miles from Baltimore, near the 
 Savage Factory, the Annapolis 
 and Elkridge railroad, which ter- 
 minates at Annapolis, distant 
 about 20 miles. 
 
 Beltsville, 28 miles from 
 Baltimore, is a small village. 
 
 Bladensburg, Prince George 
 county, Md. 6 miles N. E. from 
 Washington, contains 3 church- 
 es, an academy, several stores, 
 60 dwellings, and about 400 in- 
 habitants. There is a mineral 
 spring in the village. Commo- 
 dore Barney, with a few ma- 
 rines, here made a brave resist- 
 ance to the British in their ad- 
 vance to Washington City in 
 1814, but was overpowered by 
 greatly superior numbers. 
 
 District of Columbia.— 
 This territory. 10 miles square, is 
 situated on both sides of the Po- 
 tomac river, about 200 miles from 
 the ocean, lying between the 
 States of Maryland and Virginia, 
 and ceded by them to the United 
 States in 1790, for the purpose 
 of becoming the seat of the Fede- 
 ral Government. It is under 
 the immediate jurisdiction of 
 Congress, and contains the cities 
 of Washington, Georgetown and 
 Alexandria. 
 
 The site was selected by 
 Washington, in accordance 
 with a clause in the constitu- 
 tion which gives Congress the 
 power to exercise exclusive legis- 
 lation in all cases over such Dis- 
 trict, not exceeding ten miles 
 square, as may by the cession of 
 
48 Wilson's railroad guide 
 
 particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become tlie seat of 
 government of tlie United States. The location was happily chosen, 
 it being central to the Atlantic States, and easily accessible from the 
 Western Slates, The surface is gently undulating, with some low 
 marshes, but many commanding eminences, furnishing extensive and 
 fine views. The soil is naturally sterile, but the climate is healthy 
 and the air salubrious. 
 
 The commerce of the District is considerable ; but having the large 
 city of Baltimore in its immediate vicinity, with superior advantages, 
 !t can never become very extensive. It has ready access to the ocean 
 by the fine river, the Potomac, which is navigable for vessels of the 
 largest class to Alexandria, 6 miles below Washington, where it is a 
 mile wide, and from 30 to 50 feet deep ; and vessels of a large class 
 come np to the U. S. Navy Yard, at the junction of the E. branch 
 with the Potomac at Washington. 
 
 There are two colleges in the District. Georgetown College, a Roman 
 Catholic institution, was founded in IT'jy. The Columbian College, 
 under the direction of the Baptists, was founded in 1821. 
 
 The District is divided into two counties, separated by the Potomac ; 
 Washington County being on the north, and Alexandria County oa 
 the soutli of it : the former was taken from Prince George and Mont- 
 gomery counties, Maryland, and the latter from Fairfax county, Vir- 
 ginia. In Washington county, the laws of Maryland are in force, and 
 in Alexandria county the laws of Virginia, excepting where they are 
 superseded by the special acts of Congress. 
 
 WASHINGTON CITY, 
 
 The Capital of the United States, is in 3SO .53' 23" N. lat., and 77° 1' 
 24" W. long. 38 miles S. W. Baltimore, 130 miles S, S. W. Philadel- 
 phia, 225 miles S. W. New-York. 432 miles S. W. Boston, 856 milej 
 E. St. Louis, 544 miles N. N. E. Charleston, 1203 miles N. E. New 
 Orleans. Its population in 1800, was 8,202 ; in 1820, 13,247 ; in 1830, 
 18,827 ; in 1840, 23.304, of whom 1713 were slaves. It is situated on 
 the east side of the Potomac, at the junction of the Anacostia, or east- 
 ern branch, 295 miles from the ocean, by the course of the river and 
 Chesa])eake. The two rivers, at the junction of which it stands, add 
 to its natural beauty, and afford great facilities for its commerce, which 
 is not extensive. In addition to commerce and manufactures, large 
 European capitals are extensively aided by luxurious and expensive 
 courts ; wliich last source of prosjjerity it is to be hoped Washington 
 will for ever want. 
 
 The city is encompassed by a fine range of hills, forming a natural 
 am|)hitl)eatre, covered in part with trees and underwood, and present- 
 ing to the eye verdant and cultivated slojjes. These elevations afford 
 beautiful sites tor villas and private residences, and command an exten- 
 sive and varied prospect of the city, the surrounding country, and of 
 the meanderings of the Potomac, as far as the eye can reach. These 
 things, doubtless, attracted the eye of the father of his country, at 
 whose suggestion this spot was early fixed on as the future capital of 
 the nation ; and though its growth has been less than was once antici- 
 pated, it has been considerable, and is increasing. 
 
 It enjoys two important rerjuisites for health, pure air and good wa- 
 ter ; and there is sufficient refined and elegant society, particularly 
 during the session of Congress, to render it a pleasant place of resi- 
 dence. 
 
FROM NEW-YORK TO WASHINGTON. 49 
 
 The ground on which tlie city stands, oH^inaDy belonged to the 
 State of Maryland, and was ceded to the United States on the 23d of 
 December, ITt'rf ; and the original ownei-s of the soil surrendered to 
 government the ground l.o be laid c:ut as a city, and gave one-half of 
 the lots for the j)urpo5e of raising funds for tlie erection of tlie necessary 
 public buildings. Tl)ree enmmissioners were appointed in January, 
 179J, wlio proceeded to plant the corner-stone at Jones's Point. It 
 was laid out on a niagniticent plan by Andrew Ellicot, but it is but 
 very partially built on. 
 
 The general elevation of the ground on which the city is built, is 
 about 40 feet above the level of the river, and there are some moderate 
 elevations, on one of which is buiit the Capitol, and on another the 
 President's house. 
 
 It is regularly laid out, with streets running north and south, crossed 
 at right angles by others running east and we.st. But the different parts 
 of the city are connected by broad avenues, which traverse the rectan- 
 gular divisions diagonally. WJiere the intersection of these avenues 
 with each other and with the streets would form many acute angles, 
 considerable rectangular or circular open grounds are left, which give 
 the city a very open ajipearance. 
 
 The avenues and streets leading to important public points, are from 
 120 to ItJOfeet, and the other streets from 7!) to 1]0 feet wide. The 
 avenues are named after the Stales of the Union ; the other streets be- 
 ginning at the (.'ai)itol, are denoted by the letters of the alphabet, as A 
 north, A south, &c. ; and east and west they are designated by num- 
 bers, as 1st east, 1st west, &c. 
 
 Pennsylv;inia Avenue, from the Cajiitol to the President's house, con- 
 tains the most dense population, is iMacadamized, has a fine flagged 
 side- walk on one side, and is much the handsomest street in the city. 
 
 Five avenues radiate from the Capitol, and five others from the Pre- 
 sident's house ; giving these j^rominent places the most ready commu 
 nication with all parts of the city. 
 
 PTBLIC BUtLDINGS. 
 
 The jtublic buildings of Washington Ijave a magnificence becoming 
 a great nation. 
 
 The Capitol is the finest building in the United States, and not infe 
 
50 wilsom's railroad guide 
 
 rior to any senate-house in the world. It is elevated 73 feet above tide 
 water, and aftbids a commanding view of tiie dilferent parts of the city 
 and of the surrounding country. The building is of freestone, and 
 covers an area of more than an acre and a half; the length of the front 
 is 352 feet, including the wings, the dejjth of the wings is I'21 feet. 
 The projection on the east or main front, including the steps, is G5 feet 
 wide ; and another on the west front, with the steps, is 83 I'eet wide. 
 In the projection on the east front there is a splendid j)ortico of 22 lofty 
 Corinthian columns, 38 feet iiigh ; and in the west front there is a por- 
 tico of 10 Corinthian columns. The height of the building to the top 
 of the dome is 120 feet. 
 
 Under the dome in the middle of the building is the rotunda, 95 feet 
 in diameter and of the same height ; adorned with sculptures in stone 
 panels, in bold relief, containing groups of figures representing — Smith 
 delivered by Pocaiiontas ; the Lauding of the Pilgrims ; tiie conflict 
 of Boone and the Indians ; and Penn treating with the Indians : and 
 four magniticent paintings by Trumbull, with figures as large as life, 
 representing — the Presentation to Congress of the Declaration of Inde- 
 pendence, in whicii all the figures are correct likenesses ; the Surrender 
 of Burgoyne to General Gates ; the Surrender of Cornwailis at York- 
 town, and Washington resigning his commission to Congress at Anna- 
 polis. To these have recently been added the Baptism of Pocahontas, 
 by Chapman ; the Embarkation of the Pilgrims, by Weir ; and the 
 Landing of Ci)lum\)as, by Vanderlyn. 
 
 These paintings possess great merits as works of art. 
 
 On the west of the rotunda is the library-room of Congress, 92 by 34 
 feet, and 3G feet in height, containing in arched alcoves over 3(t',000 
 volumes. The foundation of this library, after t,he burning of the 
 Capitol and its library in the last war, was laid by the purchase of the 
 entire private library of Blr. Jefferson, consisting of about 7,000 vol- 
 umes, many of them rare and valuable, for $23,000. 
 
 In the second story of the south wing of the Capitol, is the hall of 
 the House of Representatives, of a semicircular form, 96 feet long and 
 60 feet high, with a dome supported by 24 beautiful columns of varie- 
 gated marble, from the Potomac, with capitals of Italian marble of the 
 Corinthian order. The room is ornamented with some fine statuary 
 and paintings, and the whole furniture is elegant. 
 
 The Senate chamber is in the second story of the north wing, and is 
 semi-circular like that of the representatives, but smaller, being 78 feet 
 long and 45 feet high. A magnificent chandelier hangs in the centre 
 of the room. 
 
 Below the Senate chamber, and nearly of the same form and dimen- 
 sions though much less elegant, is the room of the Su])reme Court ; 
 there are in the building 70 other rooms for the accommodation of com- 
 mittees and officers of Congress. 
 
 The grounds of the Capitol are spacious, containing 22 acres, highly 
 ornamented with gravelled walks, shrubbery, trees, a naval monument 
 ornamented with statuarv, erected in honor of tTie yonthfn! oflicers 
 who fell in the battle of Tripoli; Greenough's statue of Washington ; 
 and fountains ; and the whole is inclosed with an iron fence. 
 
 The north wing was commenced in 1793. and finishcil in 1800, at a 
 cost of .$4>^(),2!J2 ; the south wing was commenced in J 803 and com- 
 pleted in I80S. at an e.vpense of $303,808. The centre building was 
 commenced and completed since the last war, and the whole building 
 with the exception of the walls, has been re-built. 
 
FROM NEW-YORK TO WASHINGTON. 51 
 
 The whole cost of the buildinj^ and its accompaniments has exceeded 
 $2,000,000. 
 
 The PresidenVs House is an elegant edifice of freestone, two lofty 
 stories hi<,'h, at the intersection ofPennsylvania, New York, Connecticut 
 and Vermont Avenues, and stands near the centre of a plat of ground 
 of 20 acres, at an elevation of 44 feet above high water. The entrance 
 front faces upon Lafayette square. The southern front j)resents a fine 
 vieVv of the improved parts of the city, tlie Potomac river and bridge, 
 and the Ojiposite shores of Maryland and Virginia. The building is 170 
 feet front and 8t) deep. The north front is ornamented with a fine Ionic 
 portico of four lofty columns, projecting with three columns. The 
 south or garden front is varied by having a rusticated basement, and 
 by a semi-circular projecting colonnade of six Ionic columns, with two 
 fligiits of steps leading from the ground to the level of the principal 
 story. The ai)artments within are admirably fitted to their purpo-e, and 
 elegantly furnished. 
 
 On the east side of the President's House ate two large buildings, and 
 on the west side two others, for the state, war, treasury and navy de- 
 partments. 
 
 The General Post-ofTice and the Patent office are also extensive build- 
 ings ; these, with the new Treasury building, have been recently 
 erected to supply the place oftiiose which were burned a few years since. 
 The Treasury Bui- ding contains 250 rooms. It has a sp'endid colon- 
 nade 457 feet in length. The Ocneral Post-office contains about 80 
 rooms, and is of the Corinthian order, with columns and pilasters on a 
 rustic base. The Patent 0/?itT in addition toother sj)acious apartments, 
 has one room in the upper story upwards of 400 i'eet long and 65 feet 
 wide. It is regarded as one of the most splendid rooms in the United 
 States, and is devoted to the grand and increasing collections of the 
 National Institution. The portico of this building is of the same ex- 
 tent as that of the Parthenon at Athens, consisting of IG columns in 
 double rows, 50 feet high. 
 
 The J\i'ntio7ial Ivstitution for the promotion of science was organ- 
 ized in 1S40. The President of the United States is patron ; the heads 
 of the departments constitute six directors on the part of the govern- 
 ment, and six literary and scientific gentlemen are directors on the part 
 of the institution. Its collection is deposited in the large room of the 
 Patent Office. The United States exploring expedition added largely 
 to its stock of curiosities. It also possesses the fine collection of Indian 
 portraits painted from the original heads by King, formerly kept in the 
 War Office. The Historical Society and the Columbian Institute have 
 united with it their valuable libraries and collections. 
 
 The Columbian Culle.je is pleasantly situated on elevated ground 
 north of the President's house, about two miles and a half from the 
 Cajjitol. Its buildings are the college edifice five stories high including 
 the basement and attic, two dwelling-houses for i)rofessnrs, and a philo- 
 sophical hall, all of brick. It has a medical department attached to it, 
 with an edifice at the corner of Tenth and E streets. The commence- 
 ment is on the first Wednesday of October. The college was incorpo- 
 rated in 1821. It is under the direction of the Baptists. 
 
 TVic JVrt'd-// Yard is on the eastern branch of the Potomac, about 
 three-quarters of a mile south east of the Capitol, and covers ii7 
 acres of ground. It has houses foi the officers, and shops and ware- 
 houses, two large ship-houses, a neat armory, and every kind of naval 
 stores. One 74 gun ship and four frigates of 44 guns each have been 
 built here. The navy magazine is a substantial brick edifice. 
 
52 Wilson's railroad guide 
 
 There are also in tlie city a City Hall, Hospital, Penitentiary, &c., 
 &c. 
 
 The Washington JShmumcnt now being erected, will be 600 feet 
 high, and its base 250 in diameter. 
 
 Tlia Congressional Baryjiig Orouvd is in the eastern section of the 
 city, about a mile and a liajf from the Capitol, containing ten acres of 
 ground. The grounds are ta.stefully laid out. It Jia-s already become 
 the iinal renting place of a considerable number of eminent men, has 
 some fine monuments, and contains a vault in which bodies are placed 
 that are awaiting removal. 
 
 VV;u;hington is separated from Georgetown by Rock Creek, over 
 which are two bridges. A substantial bridge on piles over a mile in 
 length crosses the Potomac leading to Alexandria. Tiiere is also a 
 bridge over tlie Anacostia. 
 
 The Washington canal, connecting the Potomac with the Chesa- 
 pealce and Ohi') canal, has here several basins, which with the canal 
 are walled in with stone on both sides. It cost .f-2L-5(),000. 
 
 The city contained, in 1845, 21 places of woi-ship, two orphan asy- 
 lums, three banks with an aggregate capital of .'51,5'J0,000, and two in 
 surance comj.'anies with a total capital of $4.5'), UOO. 
 
 The seat of the federal government was removed to this city in 1800, 
 and Congress assumed the jurisdiction of the district on the •2'i'i\\ Feb- 
 ruary, IbJl. The district vv-as the theatre of important events during 
 the last war. For the protection of Washington a military district em- 
 bracing Maryland, Columbia, and a part of Virginia, was established, 
 and the command of it given to General Winder of Baltimore. One 
 thousand regular troops wtre placed at his disposal, and he was author- 
 ized to call to his aid IS.OUO militia. In tiie beginning of August, 
 1814. the British received a reinforcement by the arrival of many ves- 
 sels of war and a large number of troops in "the Chesapeake. Of this 
 force several frigates and bomb vessels were ordered to ascend tho Poto- 
 mac ; another division under Sir Peter Parker was directed to thieaten 
 Baltimore ; the main body ascended the Patuxent as far as Benedict, 
 where on the 19th of August 5,000 men, commanded by General Ross, 
 were landed. 
 
 In the meantime General Winder called on the militia to re.sort to 
 his standard ; h:,t they were exceedingly remiss in obeying his sum- 
 mons. On the 2-2d of August not more than '2,000 had assembled. At 
 the head of these and of 1,000 regulars he look a p05iti;!n not far from 
 the enemy, intending to i)revent tiieir progress info the country. 
 
 Gen. Ross marciiing through a scattered population, advanced to- 
 wards Washington, and tho Americans retired before him. A stand 
 Hras made near Biadensburg. The militia fled on the approach of dan- 
 ger ; but Commodore Barney, who had eou)manded a flotilla of gun- 
 boats on liie Patuxent, burned them lest they should fall into the hands 
 of the enemy, and had, with his seamen and marines. Joined the land 
 forces, withstood the enemy, and not only maintained Ids ground, but 
 compelled the enemy to give way. But the brave little band, linding 
 themselves deserted by the mi'itia, tlieir commander wounded, and sur- 
 rounded by th.e enemy, were compelled to surrender. The retreating 
 Jbrces were ordered to assemble on the heights near the Capitol, and 
 there Ihey were joined by a body of Virginia militia. But General 
 Winder considering his forces too weak to oppose efl'cetual resistance, 
 retreated to the heights of Georgetown. 
 
 Washington, thus left defenceless, was deserted by the President, the 
 
FROM NEW-YORK TO WASHINGTON, 53 
 
 heads of departments, and most of the citizens. On the 24th, at 8 
 o'clock in the evenin<j, the enemy entered the city, and at 9, the Capi- 
 tol, tlie President's House, the Navy Yard, with its contents, and most 
 of the pubHc ofJices, as well as many other buildinfjs, were set on fire 
 and destroyed. The Patent Office was spared at tlie intercesbion of its 
 princiiml, wiio represented that it contained a vast number of models 
 of the arts wjiich could never be replaced. Tlie valuable library of 
 Congress, in the Capitol, was consumed, as well as many works of 
 taste, and elegant specimens of the fine arts. 
 
 On tlie evening of the next day, the British left the city, and returned 
 unmolested to Benedict, where, on the 30th, they re-embarked on board 
 their vessels. Their loss, during the incursion, including deserters, and 
 sucli as died from fatigue on the march, exceeded 800. 
 
 Tiie capture of Washington reflected disgrace on those by whom it 
 ought to have been defended. 
 
 Tlie destruction of the national edifices attached a still darker stigma 
 to the character of the enemy. The whole civilized world exclaimed 
 against the act as a violation of the rules of modern warfare. There 
 was no excuse for tliis terrible conflagration, this Vandal warfare: and 
 an indignant spirit pervaded the republic. The friends of the govern- 
 ment were increased, and a determination manifested to overpower the 
 enemj' of the country. 
 
 The squadron which ascended the Potomac met with even less resist- 
 ance than that which ascended the Patuxent. Alexandria capitulated 
 on its arrival, delivering up all its sliipping and merchandise. Stimu- 
 lated by this success, Gen. Ross proceeded to attack Baltimore on the 
 J-2th of September, where lie was killed, and his army signally de- 
 feated. 
 
 Having now accompanied the traveller to the end of our jiroposed 
 journey, we take our leave, wishing him a pleasant and safe journey 
 to his destination, with our thanks for his kind patronage, proposing to 
 ourselves to extend our travels with him at some future day further 
 South. Meanwhile, if his avocations, or the pursuit of pleasure, should 
 at any time lead him to make a journey u]) our magnificent Hudson, he 
 will always be able, with a little inquiry, to procure our company in 
 that direction at the moderate charge of twelve and a half cents. We 
 also propose, in the fall of the present year, to furnish him with a guide 
 from Albany to BuiTalo, (v.-hich is now in progress ) 
 
 Further, if we have had the good luck to aflord to him entertainment 
 and instruction, he will please bear in mind that he lias obtained it at 
 the vrry moderate price chai-jrrd iv aifrcnt vicasurc oioing to the libe- 
 rality of those advertisers who have made our little booh the medium, 
 of communication with him. If his journexs to New Yoik or Philadel- 
 phia be journeys of business, we feel very sure a call on them will con- 
 vince hmi that their claims to his patronage will merit all we could say 
 of them. 
 
 Here, also, we may as well state, that our descriptions are compiled 
 from the very best authorities, attainable mainly, however, from the 
 very valuable (ieographical Dictionary of ?»IcCtdIoch, published by 
 Messrs. Harper & Brothers, of this city, from whicli, by the kind per- 
 mission of the ])ublisliers, we liave made very liberal extracts.

 SELPHO'S FIRST PREMIUM ANGLESEY LEG. 
 
 I INTRODUCED into the country and made solely 
 [by WM SELPHO, '20 Sprinof street, New- York. 
 This descripticn of Atttficial Leg derives its name 
 from the ct>lebra,ted Marquis of Anglesey, who lost 
 his leg in the battle of Waterloo, by whom it has 
 !>een adojjted and worn ever since its first invention 
 by the late ingenious Mr. Potts, of London, to 
 whom the [)resent artist was eleven years a pupil 
 and assistant 
 
 " i have seen the artificial leg of Mr. Selpho ; its construction appears 
 excellent and well calculated to answer all the objects desired. But the 
 best of all is the proof of tho^e who wear them ; this is positive and un- 
 deniable. Someof my friends whom I ha.ve mutilated, inform me they 
 are superior to all othe'rs. VALEXTINE MOTT, 
 
 Prof, of Surffei-Tf, University of JV". York. 
 Also SELPHO'S ARTCFlClAIi HAND. An entirely new and 
 varful substitute for a Jost hand, so arranged that the wearer can open 
 and shut the hand by means of the remaining stump. VV. S. will give 
 further mformation by application or by lelter, post-paid.

 Were this book carefully read by every married person, and its advice 
 strictly followed, we are persuaded that a different state of society from 
 the present would exist. 
 
 The terrors of i);)verty, and the prospect of a family of children, which 
 could be but poorly reared, prevent many prudent people from entering 
 the matrimonial state ; but here is a work which will tell you important 
 secrets, which may obviate all such objections to a happy connubial re- 
 lation, and which th.ousands of married people would give all they pos- 
 sess to understand fully. 
 
 The editor is not allowed to state in public the character of this work 
 more in detail ; but lie knows that it is one which will meet with uni- 
 versal approbation the moment it becomes known among married people. 
 
 Persons wishing copies of this imjiortant Physiological work, by en-

 THE BOWERY SAVINGS STORE, 
 
 Located at 126 BOWERY, in the City of New-Yori<, is an institu- 
 tion dedicated to the best interests of the community at large ; devoted 
 to the sale of DRY GOODS, and established on a plan which is so 
 very popular, that its success is conclusive beyond the reach of doubt or 
 peradventure. Founded as it is, for the benefit of the purchaser, at the 
 same time yielding a fair remuneration to the proprietors, it is becoming 
 firmly and t'avorably fixed in public estimation. 
 
 The plan on which the Establishment is conducted, is as follows : 
 
 1st. All Foreign Goods, not bought at the large Auctions, are im- 
 ported by the Concern, ordered direct, and received by every steamer 
 and packet ship ; which relieves us from the necessity of paying to the 
 importer the profits (often exorbitant) which they would realize if the 
 goods were bought from them, and the ]irofits of the jobber, if we were 
 under the necessity, as others are, of purchasing from them — thus we are 
 enabled to yield this saving to the purchaser. 
 
 2d. All Domestic Goods are, by express arrangement with the manu- 
 facturers, received direct from the Factories, by which arrangement we 
 can safely guarantee a saving of from 10 to 30 per cent, to the purchas- 
 er, and which they are obliged to pay in advance of our prices to those 
 merchants whose resources are limited, and who are obliged to buy from 
 the jobber. 
 
 .3d. Our purchases at auction are very large, one of the proprietors 
 being constantly in the market, and securing all such bargains as are a. 
 benefit alike to the concern and its patrons. 
 
 4th. Our business is conducted on the Cash System ; therefore the 
 good casli customer has not to pay for the delinquency of the doubtful 
 or non-paying. 
 
 5th. We sell every thing at the smallest jjrofit, giving the advantage 
 of all the bargains to our customers. 
 
 By these means we are enabled to render the Establishment popular, 
 and as we intend to remain in business, we desire to obtain a reputation 
 which will never disgrace us, but will sustain us, while another, and 
 less honorable one, would inevitably cover the concern with reproach 
 and opprobrium 
 
 Our assortment is unrivalled — we have ten distinct departments, each 
 well attended by faithful, efficient and gentlemanly salesmen. 
 
 OUSS. CI.OTH DEPARTMENT 
 
 Comprises an excellent assortment, from the finest French Cloth to 
 the lowest priced Satinet or Jean.

 Tliis branch of our trade being immense, wc need not say, is supplied

 OUR SII.IIWJL BSiSr^liiTMEJ^'T.' 
 Is distinct and separato, lioiiit; an ai)arliiient e>peciully devoted to the 
 sale of this article ; and the assortment and quality is neither sui)erseued 
 or livalled in America. 
 
 OUR FLANNEL DEPARTMENT 
 
 Is one which we pay especial attention t >, having all tiie best and 
 most approved kindsof white and colored Welsh, Lnglish and American 
 plain and twilled, all wool, and Domystic, now in use. 
 
 The purchaser can depend on polite attention, and a true representa- 
 tion of every article exhibited. 
 
 COUNTRY MERCHANTS AND PEDDLERS will find it to 
 their advantage to give this cnncern a trial, as their interests will bo sub- 
 served thereby. They can select from a larger and much better assorted 
 stock than they can have an opportunity of doing among the exclu- 
 sively wjiolesale dealers, and can obtain go.nls in such quantity, be it 
 more or less, as will [)revent the necessity of accumuiatiiig too heavy a 
 .stock of any article, where assortment, witliout large (luantity, is desira- 
 ble. Our Wholesale Prices are allowed to the liurcliaicr wlio buys "to 
 sell again, v/hether we sell in v/liole or cut pieces. 
 
 We require no one to purchase, but we invite all who would be dealt 
 with on terms which niu»t be satisfactory, to call at

 DR. TOWNSEND'S 
 Cossipoiiii^t I^xtract ©f SarsaparJlla. 
 
 Wonder and Blessing of tlia .8gc — The most Extrao7-dinary Medi- 
 cine in the World. 
 
 This Extract is put up in dnart Bottles ; it is sis times cheaper, 
 pleasanter, and warranted superior to any sold. It cures without 
 vomiting, purgini?, sickening, or debilitatinfj the jiatient. 
 
 The great beauty and superiority of this Sarsapa-illa over all other 
 medicines is, that while it evadicatcs the disease, it invigorates tlie body. 
 It is one of the very best Spring and Summer Medicines ever known ; 
 it not only purifies the whole system, and strengthens th.e person, but it 
 creates new, pure, and rich blood ; a jiower jinssessed by no other med- 
 icine. And in this lies flie grand secret of its wonderful success. It 
 has performed within the last live years, more than 100,000 cures of se- 
 vere cases of disease ; at least 15,000 were considered incurable. It has 
 saved the lives of more than 3,000 children during the two past seasons. 
 
 10,000 Cases of G-eneral Debility and v/ant of Wervovis Energy. 
 
 Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla invigorates the whole system perma- 
 nently. To those wh.n have lost their muscular energy by the effects of 
 medicine or indiscretion committed in youth, or the excessive indulgence 
 of the passions, and brought on a genera! [ihysical prostration of the ner- 
 vous system, lassitude, want of ambition, fainting sensations, premature 
 decay and decline, hastening towards that fatal disease, Consumption, 
 can be entirely restored by this pleasant remedy. This Sarsajiarilla is 
 far superior to any Invigoratinrr Cordial, as it renews and invigorates 
 the system, gives activity to the limbs, and strength lo the muscular sys- 
 tem, in a most e.xtraordiuary decree. 
 
 Consumption Cured. 
 Cleanse and strengthen. Consumption can be onred. Bronchitis, 
 Consumption, Liver Complaint, Colds, Catarrh, Coughs, Astlima, Spit- 
 ting of Blood, Soreness in tlie Chest. Hectic Fh'sh, Night Sweats, Dif- 
 ficult or Profuse E.\pectoration, Pain in the Side, &c., have been and 
 can be cured.

 .ATew- York, April 27, 1847. 
 Dr. Townsend — I verily believe tliat your Sarsajiarilla has been the 
 means, through Providence, of .saving my life. I have for several years 
 had a bad cough. It became worse and woree. At last I raised large 
 quantities of blood, had night sweats, and was greatly debilitated and 
 reduced, and did nfit exjiect to live. 1 have only used your Sarsaparilla 
 a short time, and tliere lias a wonderful change been wrought in me. 
 I am now able to walk all over tlie city. I raise no blood, and my con^h 
 has left me. You can well imagine that I am thankful for these results.

 This is only one of more than four thousand cases of Rheumatism tliat 
 Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla has cured. The most severe and chronic 
 cases are weekly eradicated by its extraordinary virtues. James Cnm- 
 mings, Esq., one of the assistants in the Lunatic Asylum, Blackwell's Is- 
 land, is the gentleman spoken of in the following letter : 
 
 Blackwell's Island, Sept. 14, 1847. 
 Dr. Townsend — Dear Sir : I have suffered terribly for nine years with 
 the Rheumatism ; considerable of the time I could not eat, sleep, or 
 walk. I had the most distressing pains, and my limbs were terribly 
 swollen. I have used four bottles of your Sarsaparilla, and they have 
 done me more than one thousand dollars worth of good. I am much 
 better — indeed, I am entirely relieved. You are at liberty to use this 
 for the benefit of the afflicted. Y'ours, respectfully,
