New York City, renowned for its wealth, popiilation, and commercial importance, is situated at the southern extremity of an island, at the confluence of the Hudson and East rivers. The latter bemg merely a strait con- necting Long Island Sound with the Bay of New York. Reckoning from the City HaU, its latitude is 40^ 42' 43" N., and longitude 14° 00' 41" W. from Green- wich; or 3° 1' 13" E. from the city of Wasliington. It lies 145 miles s. from Albany, (the capital of the state;) 398 miles s. from Montreal; 224 mdes s. w. from Boston; Si mdes n. e. from Pliiladelphia ; 184 miles N.E. from Baltimore ; 224 mdes n.e. from Wash- ington; 184 miles n.e. from Charleston, S. C; and 1,663 miles n. e. from New Orleans. New York derives imrivalled advantages from its position, being on one of the best harbors in the world, and has facihties for mland communication unsurpassed, perhaps, by those of any other city upon the globe. The completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 gave a 8 NEW YOKK CITY GUIDE. vast impetus to the trade and prospects of the city generally, as through that avenue of communication, assisted by the great lakes, the rich products of the West find an easy transit to the commercial empo- rium, which by the same channel returns, in exchange the varied manufactm-es and luxuries not only of this' section, but of Europe. The completion of the New York and Erie Railroad wiU also open to tliis city another avenue of immense wealth, m shortening the distance, and giving new facilities for ready communication with the great West Each of the principal cities of the seaboard, aware, of the vast benefits to be derived fi-om a participation in this trade, is stretchii>g its iron arms yvith aU available means, to secure for itself at least a share of its bene- fits. For an example of this, we have but to direct our attention to an enterprising sister city, with a popula- tion not more than a third of our own, but possessed of indomitable energy and ability to carry out her desio,!^ That great work, the Erie Canal, which cost the pecTple of tins state millions of dollars, she has tapped at our very capital, and drawn off a large share of the trade that would otherAvise have reached New York. It is not too late, however, to profit by the past • the people of this city are now awake to their real in- terests, and are pushing forward with determination several unportant works. The New York and New Haven Raib-oad, recently opened, unites it with the entu-e and vast network of New England railways The Hudson River and Harlem raih-oads, which are to oonnect the metropolis with the state capital, wHl at the latter, not only uiiite with the Erie Canal, and a NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. 9 chain of railroads, but will fonn a connection with the road lately completed to Lake Champlain, the great thoroughfare to Canada. Branch roads will be extended from the main line of the New York and Erie Railroad, tapping the immense coal mines of Pennsylvania, which will prove another source of wealth to the metropohs, and effect a saving of expense in that important neces- sary — fuel. Tlie completion of the Somerville and Easton Rail- road, wliich extends ffom near this place in a dhect line across the state of New Jersey, intersecting the improvements of Pemisylvania, will prove a powerful means of enriching tliis city at the expense of Pliila- delpliia, in the same manner that our advantages have been so useful to oiu" eastern neighbors. Besides the works of internal improvement we have briefly nan-ated, there are now estabhshed several lines of steamships, m addition to the numerous packets and other vessels connecting tliis port with the princi- pal ports of Europe, the West Indies, and our own ports, incluchng our recently acquired, yet remote pos- sessions on the Pacific. Such then are the advantages with which enterprise and capital second our position. Nothing human can prevent New York increasing both in numbers and in wealth ; and she will continue to sustain her position as the first city of the New World. The population at different periods has been as fol- lows: in 1656 it was 1000; in 1697, 4,302; 1131, 8,622; 1750, 10,000; 1774, 22,750; 1800, 60,489; 1810,96,373; 1820, 123,706; 1830, 202,957; 1835, 270,089; 1840,312,710; 1845,371,232. 10 NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. New York is among the commercial cities of the world one of tlie most important, being sui'passed only by London in the extent of its maritime trade. At its wharves may be seen vessels from all parts of the world, freighted with the rich products of domestic or foreign industry — a number, at times, almost to exceed beUef : eighteen hundred vessels, of all sizes, have been counted lying at its wharves in the East and North rivers. Tliis city, which is justly considered the com- mercial emporium of the United States, pays more revenue to the general government than that of all the others. The compact portion of the city is built on the south end of the island, extending fi-om the Battery about four miles, and enclosing a circmnference of closely- packed buildings equal to about ten square miles. The island is 13^ mUes long from n. to s., varying from half a mile to somewhat more than two miles in width — the greatest width being at 88tli street, where it is over two miles wide. It is bounded on the e. by the East and Harlem rivers, the former separating it from Long Island ; on the w. by Hudson river, wliich separates it from New Jersey ; and on the n. by Har- lem river, a part of wliich, between Kingsbridge and the Hudson, received from the Dutch the name of Spuyten Duyvel Creek. Constant commtmication between the city and its rapidly increasing and picturesque suburbs, is kept up by means of steam ferry-boats, the Harlem Railroad, omnibuses, (fee. ; the fares being extremely moderate, with accommodations not excelled by similar convey- ances of any other city. NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. H Tlie. hay and harbor of New York may be classed among the most convenient and beautiful in the world ; the banks are bold, and the bay interspersed with Kome handsome islands. The city and surrovmding land, when viewed from the bay m approacliing the city, present a scene truly charming and picturesque, and excite general athnu-ation. The harbor extends eight miles s. of the city to the " Narrows," and is about 25 miles in circumference, being sufficiently capacious to contain the united navies of the world. The outer harbor, or bay, extends from the NaiTows to Sandy Hook, where is a hghthouse, at the distance of 18 miles from the city. The water is of sufficient depth to float the heaviest vessels, and sliips of war of the largest size liave anchored opposite the city. On the bar at Sandy Hook there is a depth of water at high tide of 2^7 feet, and at low water of 21 feet; from thence to the city the channel has a depth of from 40 to 50 feet. In the harbor adjoining the city are Governor's, Bedlow's, and Ellis's Islands, on aU of which are strong fortifications. The first, which is the most important of the three, mcludes 70 acres of gromrd, and is situ- ated 3,200 feet from the Battery. It has Fort Colum- bus in'the centre, and on its n. e. point Castle William, a round tower 600 feet in cfrcamference and 60 feet high, with three tiers of gmis. There is also a batteiy on the N. w. side, commandmg the entrance through Buttermilk- Chamiel, a strait which separates it from Brooklyn, L. I. Besides these fortifications, the harbor of New York is well defended by smiilar works on Bedlow's and Ellis's Islands ; at the Narrows, on the Long Island shore, by Fort Hamilton and Fort La- 12 NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. fajette, (formerly called Fort Diamond,) wliicli is built on a reef of rocks, about two hundred yards from the shore ; and on Staten Island, opposite, by forts Tomp- kins and Richmond. The Narrows here is about one- third of a mile wide. The entrance from the Sound on the East River is defended by Fort Schuyler, on Throg's Neck. In the East River are Blackwell's Island, Great Barn Island, and Randell's Island, all of which are attached to the city, and upon the former is located the penitentiary. The first settlement of New York was made at the southern extremity of the city ; hence many of the streets in that section afe nan-ow and crooked, no regu- lar order having been observed in laying them out. In later times many of them have been widened and iiiiproved, at a great expense. The streets in tlie northern part of the city are laid out straightly, and some of them are of considerable width. Many of the most splendid mansions and places of religious worship of wliich the city can boast, are to be seen in tliis quarter. The most elegant and fashionable street is Broadway, which traverses the city in a straight line from N. to s., being 2^ miles long and 80 feet broad- It is occupied by many splendid stores, elegant houses, and public buildings, and few streets in the world equal it in the splendor and bustle it exliibits. It is also the great promenade of the city, being much re- sorted to in pleasant weather by the gay and fashion- able. NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. 13 PUBLIC WALKS, SQUARES, &c. The Battery, wliich contains about 1 1 acres, is situ- ated at the extreme s. end of the city, at the com- mencement of Broadway, and is planted with trees and kid out in gravelled wallcs. From this place is a delightful view of the harbor and its islands, of the numerous vessels arriving and departing, of the ad- jacent shores of JS'ew Jersey, and of Staten and Long islands. Castle Garden, comiected with the Battery by means of a bridge, is used for public meetings and exliibitions, and is capable of contauiing witliin its walls 10,000 persons. Since the destruction of Niblo's Garden by fire (Sept. 1846) the fahs of the American Institute, which were formerly held there, have been removed to this caj^acious place. The Bowling Green, situated near the Battery, and at the commencement of Broadway, is of an oval form, and sm-roimded by an iron railing. Witliin its enclosm-e is a fomitain, the water from wliich, falling upon a rude pile of rocks, about 15 feet m height, forms a pretty artificial cascade. The Park is a triangular enclosm-e situated about the centre of the city, and has an area of 11 acres: it contains the City Hall and other pubhc buildings. It is embellished in its south part with a superb foun- tain, the basin of wliich is 100 feet in diameter. In the centre of the basin is a piece of work m the shape of an Egyptian lily. Tlirough convex hon plates, with numerous perforations, placed arovmd the base of this 14 NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. •work, the water is projected into the air, and falls in the form of a heavy mist, around a column that rises to a considerable height, through the midst of the green leaves of the lotus. When the sun is shining full upon the fountain the effect is extremely pleasing, from the number of muiiatm-e rainbows then observable. The basin is enchcled by a neat coping of white marble. Sixteen feet beyond the coping the whole is again sur- romided by a pretty and substantial raihng of iron — the mtermediate space being decorated with various kmds of handsome shrubbery. St. John's Park, m Hudson-square, is beautifully laid out m walks, with shade trees, and is kept in ex- cellent order. Subscribers only are allowed the privi- lege of visiting tliis enclosiu-e. The hon railing wliich svu-rounds it cost about -^26,000. Washington Square, or Parade Ground, is in the N. part of the city, and contains about 1 2 acres. It is now a beautiful place of resort, and has of late under- gone great miprovement. An elegant u'on fence is to supersede the antiquated wooden one which has sur- roimded it for many years past, the Common Council having recently appropriated -$25,000 for that purpose. For yeai's tliis spot, now devoted to pleasm-e, was the Potter's Field, the general receptacle of the indigent and strangers, after the shackles of life had been thrown off. Union Square is situated at the termination of Broadway. It is of an oval form, enclosed with an iron railing, and its centre ornamented with a hand- some foimtain. Gramercy Park, near Union Square, and Tompkins Trinitj Church, from Wall NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. l6 Square, in the n. e, part of the city, are handsomely laid out in walks, and planted with shade trees and shnibbery. They are both surrounded with a neat railing, Stuyvesant' Square is on the 2d Avenue, be- tween 15th and llth streets. There are other squares fiu'ther up — Madison, Hamilton, (fee, wliich are ex- tensive, but at present unimproved. In the latter square, which is about six miles from the City Hall, it is proposed to erect the Wasliington Monmnent. CHURCHES. By an enumeration recently made, it appears that there are in New York city about 222 churches, inclu- ding all denominations, many of wliich are neat and commodious, wloile some are of a magnificent and costly nature. Among the latter must be mentioned the new Trinity Church, which for beauty of arcliitectm-e, be- ing the best specimen of pm-e Gotliic, stands imrivalled among its kind in the country. It is built throughout of a fine reddish sandstone, prepared in the best man- ner, is without galleries, and capable of seating with comfort 800 persons. It is 189 feet long, 84 wide, and 64 liigh ; the height of the tower, including the spire, is 264 feet. The entire cost is stated at about ^400,000. The tower contains a cliime of bells and a clock. In the graveyard adjoining the chm'ch may be seen the monuments of Hamilton, Lawi'ence, and others, who occupy an enviable distinction in the history of the country. Trinity Church is the oldest and richest Episcopal society in America ; she annually devotes a 16 NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. large portion of her vast income to the erection and support of churches tliroughout the state. Her cor- poration, or vestry, whose business it is to conduct the affairs of the church, is composed of men of high stand- ing in society, and who are usually characterized as being just and liberal in their official capacity. The following is a brief history of the origin of this church. The first religious services of tliis society (at that time knoAvn as tlie " Church of England in Amer- ica") -were held in a small chapel wliich stood near the Battery. The rapid uicrease of the congregation made it necessary to erect a larger and more commodious edifice, which was done in 1696, during the reign of William III. and Mary. It was first opened for divine service in February, 1697, by the Rev. Mr. Vesey, Rector of New York. In 1735 it was found necessary to make an addition at its e. end, and two years after- wards it was again enlarged on the n. and s. sides. Tliis building was 146 feet long and 72 wide, with an ornamented steei^le 180 feet liigh. Dunng the awful conflagration of the city in Sept., 1776, this spacious edifice was entirely destroyed, and remained a heap of ruins dm-ing the Revolutionary war. " From the size and height of this noble structure, from the simple style of its architecture, from the lofty trees which em- bosomed it, and the graves and monuments of the dead which surrounded it on every side, it presented to the spectator a striking object of contemplation, and im- pressed him with ideas connected with reverence." At the close of the war it was again rebuilt, and conse- crated in 1790 by Bishop Provost. This edifice was not as spacious as the one destroyed, it being only 104 NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. 17 feet long and '72 feet wide, with a steeple about 200 feet high. In 1839 tliis building was taken down, and tJie present magnilicent edifice erected in its place. Trinity Tower. — Visiters have access to the tower of Trinity Church, it beuig open to the pubhc, except when the building is occupied for religious purposes.* Tliis tower affijrds one of the most splendid panoramic vicAvs to be seen on this continent Ascendmg the stairway we reacli a landing, on a level with the ceiling of the chm-ch, from which there is a complete view of the elegant interior. Ascending another flight, we reach the belfry, where the bells forming the cliime ai-e deposited, which p.o frequently ring out then- sweetly solemn peal. Plere, on the outside, smTovmded by a strong railiug, is a balcony, affording a view of the city. On ascending still liigher, one of the most superb views greets the beiiolder. The city, full of hfe and anima- tion, lies, as it were, at his feet, wliile far and wide, in every tUi-eetion, the country, the rivers, the islands — cities and villages — are spread out before him, arrayed in all the attractions with which natm-e and art have invested them. St. Paul's Church, in Broadway, between Vesey and Fultoxa streets, was among the first Episcopal churches erected m the city. Its exterior has rather a venera])le look, although its mterior has recently been somewhat modernized. The spke is 234 feet high. In the front part of the chm'ch is a slab of wliite mai'ble, upon which is an inscription in remembrance of Gen. Montgomery, who fell at Quebec in 1775, and whose * A fee is expected from visiters by tlie person io. attendance. 2* 18 NEW YORK CITY GUIDE. remains were brought to New York and interred be- neath tliis monument in 1820. In the churchyard ad- joining is an elegant monument, erected to the memory of Thomas Addis Emmet, an eminent counsellor at law, and brother of the mifortunate Irish orator, Robert Emmet. The phnth of the monument is one entire block, seven feet square and 12 inches thick. The Egyptian obelisk standing on this base is also in a single piece, and is about 32 feet high. The face to- wards Broadway is embellished with the American eagle sheltering a harp imstrung, with a medaUion likeness of Emmet, and two clasped hands, having stars around one wrist and shamrocks around the other, with an English inscription. On the north side is a Latin, and on the south is an Irish inscription. There are other churches in the city deserving of a separate description, but the hmits of the present work will not allow of it. The following is the number of cliurches of each de- nomuiation in the city of New York : Protestant Ejnscopal 41, Presbyterian 33, Methodist Episcopal 31, Baptist 26, Dutch Reformed 15, Reform- ed Presbyterian 13, Rmnan Catholic 13, Jewish 9, Con- gregational 1, Friends 4, Unitarian 3, Lutheran 5, As- sociate Presbyterian 3, Universalist 4, Associate Re- formed Presbyterian 2, Welsh 2, Methodist Protestant 1, Miscellaneous 12.

The City Hall, a building of the Corinthian and Ionic orders, displaying a fine combination of taste and elegance, is 216 feet long, 105 wide, and, including the attic story, 65 high. The front and the ends are of white marble— the rear, of Nyack freestone. The first stone of this edifice was laid in 1803, and its construc- tion occupied, with Uttle intermission, a period of 10 years. It covers 22,896 square feet of ground, and is two stories high above the basement, with an attic story in the centre of the building ; from the middle of 34 KEW YORK CITY GUIDE. which rises a cupola, containing a clock, and on the top a statue of Justice. The upper part of this cupola is occupied by a person, whose business it is to give alarm in cases of fire; from the elevated position of which he is able to overlook tlie whole city. The " City HaU Bell," whose deep and solemn tones but too frequently sound the knell of destruction, and which, by the successive number of strokes, indicates tlie dis- trict of the city in which a fire occurs, is under a less elevated cupola, directly behind the former. In this buildhig are 28 oflices, and other public rooms, the principal of whicli is the C4overnor's room, a splemUd apartment appropriated to the use of that functionary on his visiting the city, and occasionally to that of other distinguislied individuals. The walLs of this room are cmbellislied with a fine collection of portraits of men celel^rated in the civil, military, or naval history of the country. It is 52 feet long by 20 f.et wide. In the Common Council room is the identical chair occu- pied by Washmgtonwhen President of the first Ameri- can Congress, wliich assembled in tliis city. This room also contains some fine full-length portraits, by Trum- buU, among which is one of Washington, when in the prime of life, wliich is tliought to be the best in exist- ence. Tlie S>fprriur Court room is also iii this building. Visiters have free access to the r(K_ms and paintings in the City Plall, by making application to the keeper, whose business it is to attend upon strangers.
