 PREFACE.
The success which attended the publication of tlie first volume of
this little work, has induced the Publisher to issue the present with
a determination to gratify, if possible, any reasonable expectation of
the Public in regard to it. And in order to vary the subjects referred
to on these pages, a large portion of the matter contained in the

former issue is omitted in this, and other, perhaps that which will
prove even more useful, has been substituted in its stead.
The intention was to have changed, materially, the character of
this work the present season but, the calamitous and ever-to-be-
;

remerabered fire in July, has rendered the execution of the plan at

this time, inexpedient.
Several suggestions have been received respecting the insertion of
information in this publication, which, it was supposed, would make

it more interesting and valuable.Such hints are ever welcome,

and if not in every case adopted, the friendly spirit which dictates
their communication, is, nevertheless, fully appreciated.
To the kind regards of the citizens of New-York, as well as to the
friendly consideration of all strangers who may visit the Great
Metropolis, this little volume is now most respectfully submitted by
THE PUBLISHER.

DESCRIPTIOX nF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK.

Location of ths City, Population, &c.
NEW-YOUK CITY', tlie |iiiiici|i.il city of ilie Suite of New-
York; and in popul-uioii, woiltli, and cuiiinn-icc;. the largest ciiy in
the Stales de.serves to be denominated the London of Ame-
IJiiiled ;

rica. Tlie City Il.dl is in 40° 42' 40" N. lat., and 74° T 8" VV. long,
from Greenwich, and 3° 0' Hi" E. long, from Washington. It is ^6
miles X. E. Pliiladelpliia, 210 miles S. VV Boston, ii-io mih's N. E.
Wasliington, G70 miles N. E. Charleston, 145 miles S. Albany, 372
miles S. Montreal, 1370 miles N. E. i\evv-Orleans.
I

i
The compact p:irt of the city is situated on the south end of JVew-
York or Manhattan Island, at tiie confluence of Hudson or .N'orlh
river with the East river, which connects Long Island Sound with
thfl harbor <tf Xew-York. Tlie island, which contains about 14,000
I
acres of ground, extends from the B tttery, on the south point ol the
isl.and, 13j miles to Kingsbridge, and has an Hvcragc breadth of one
mile and three fifihs. The greatest breadth, about 2i miles, is on
i
the line of Sr'tli street. It is connected with the land on the mam
north by three bridges: Harlem bridge, Macomb's bridge, and King's
bridge.
T/ic Papulation, in 1790, was 33,131 ; in 1P20, 123,706; in 1840,
31'2,7iO. Tlie pre.-ient population (l84o) is 3G0,7r-5.

The Harbor, Islands, Forts, &c.

The harbor of \e\v-Vork is spacious and safe, the inner harbor
extending 8 miles from the Nirrows to the city, and several miles
further up both the North and East riverd. Besides this, it has an
outer harbor, e.\tending from the Narrows to Sandy Hook, consisting
':

of Ilariian Bay. Suidy Hook cm which is a light-house, is 18 miles

I
from the city at this point there are 27 feet of water on the bar at
;

high tide, aild 21 feet at low tide. Within Sandy Hook there is a
giM)d anchorage. Tlie harbor is entered not only from the ocean at
SmdyHook and through the Narrows, but uL-ro on the northeast
from Long Island Sound, as well as on the southwest through the
Kills and Slaten Island Sound
After passing the bar at Sandy Hook, the channel to the city has
.1 depth of water of from 33 to 51) feet. The average tide at the
wharves is from (i ti> 7 feet The s ifest and best portion of the har-
, bor, and where the vessels chiefly lie, is along East River, which is
I rarely obstructed fiom ice, as the tide sweeps through it with a
strong and rapid current.
—
j

Islands and Forts. Several islands within the inner harbor are
attached to the city, which are Governor's, Bedlow's, and Ellis's
Islands, on all of which are strong fortifications; and Blackwell s.
Great Barn, and Randall's Isl.inds, in the Kast River. Governor's
Island i-3200 feet from the city at the Battery, and includes 70 acres
of ground. It contains Fort Columbus on the south of Ilie island,
and (Jasile William rm the northwest point, which is a round
tower, (UH) feet in circumference and 00 feet high, with three tiers of
guns. There is also a baaery on the northwest side, commanding
the entrance through the Buttermilk channel. At the Narrows, on
the eastern shore of Long Island, are Fort Hamilton and Fort La
Fayette, the latter of which (formerly called Fort Diamond) is built
on a reef of rocks, 200 y:ird-) from the slio e. (Jn Stalen Island, at
tJie Narrows, are Fort Tompkins and Fort Richmond, both of which
are strong fortifications. The entrance from the Sound on East River
is defend«.d by Fort Schuyler on Throg's Neck.
 54 DESCRIPTION OF NEW-YORK.

The Battery.
The
Battery at the soiitliern end of the city, is situated at the junc-
tion of Hudson and East Rivers. It is in the form of a crescent,
containing about 11 acres of ground, laid out wiih grass plots and
gravelled walks, shaded wiiii trees. From this spot is a fine view
of the bay, its islands, and the adjacent shores of New Jersey, and
Long and Staten Islands. The scene is generally enlivened by ship-
ping under sail.
The Park.
The Park, called in early times the Commons, is a triangular area
of about lOi acres, lying between Broadway, Chatham and Cham-
bers streets, is laid out with walks, and planted with trees, and sur-
rounded by an iron fence, which cost over ^15,000. It contains the
City Hall, the new City Hall or old Alms House, and the Rotunda,
now occupied by the New- York Gallery of tlie Fine Arts. It has
also, towards its southern part, a public fountain, within a basin,
about 100 feet in diameter, which has a variety of jets, which are
occasionally changed. When the water is thrown in a single stream,
it ascends to the height of about 70 feet, presenting a m-jjestic and

interesting appearance. The fountain is designed to be made yet

more ornamental.
The BowUng Green.
The Bowling Green, at the southern termination of Broadway,
is an 220 feet long and 140 feet broad, enclosed by an
elliptical area,
iron fence. It existed before the American Revolution, and formerly
contained a leaden statue of George III., which was converted into
bullets at that period. It contains a public fountain, which is sup-
plied by the Cioton waterworks. In the centre of a large basin is
I
placed a rude pile of huge rocks in a somewiiat circular form, about
15 feet in diameter, and i-.s many feet high, and from the top issues a
jet, with small jets around it, and presents, by the water pouring
and tumbling down the sides of the rocks, a wild and picturesque
appearance.
Hudson Square, or St. John's Park.
Hudson Square, or St. John's Park, between Beach, Laight, Var-
ick, and Hudson streets, is private property, belonging to Trinity
Church, but has been reserved as a permanent public square. It is
beautifully laid out with walks, shaded with trees, and surrounded
by an iron fence, which cost $26,000. It contains about four acres
of ground, has a public fountain, and is, perhaps, the most orna-
mental spot in the city.
Washington Square.
Washington Square, a mile and a half north of the City Hall, be-
tween Wooster and MI )ouga streets, contains about li| acres of
I

ground. Two thirds of the area was the Potter's Field until 1827,
and the remainder was purchased by the city for about $78,000, and
the whole was enclosed by a wooden fence, which cost nearly
$3,000. It is laid out in walks, and planted with trees.
Union Place.
Union Place, at the northern termination of Broadway is in an
form, enclosed with a fine iron fence, having a public foun-
elli|itical
tain in the centre with ornamental jets, and is a delightful breathing-
place to the inhabitants. Farther up the city are other public
squares, as Madison Sijuare, Hamilton Square, and others, not yet
 DESCRIPTION OF NEW-YORK. 55
II uiiliHd. On ilie cast are Tompkins Square and Bellevue, the
latter tlie seat of the new almshouse.
Croton Water Works.
Thecheapest and most convenient niode of vi.siting the Distribut-
ing Reservoir in Forlielli-street, or the Receiving Reservoir in Eighty-
sixth street, is by the cars of the Harlem Rail Ro:ui, wliich leave the
Depot, at the junction of Chatham and Centre streets, opposite tlie
City Hall, every 15 minutes during the day.
Extent of the supphj of water.— Tim minimum flow of water* in
the river, where tlie dam is constructed, is considered to l)e twenty-
seven millions of gallons for every twenty-four hours, which would
be a suthcient supply for one million of inhabitants. It is considered
that the supply for the present is abundant, even during a season of
drought, for one million and a half of inhabitants, nearly five times
the present population and other streams can be turned into the
;

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

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

iron pipe, laid as an inverted syphon.

—
The Receiving Reservoir Is at Eighty-sixth-street, 38 miles from
the Croton Dam, covers 35 acres, and contains 150 millions of gal-
lons.
—
The Distributing Reservoii at Fortieth-strpet, about three miles
from the City Hall, constructed with stone and cement, covers four
acres, and is 43 feet high above the street, is .30 feet deep when full
of water, and holds 20 millions of gallons. Thence the water is dis-
j
tributed in the city in iron pipes, laid deep under groimd, to be secure
froni frost. A section of the wall on one side of the Reservoir, in-
cluding the embankment, is 17 feet wide at the top, 35 feet wide at
the distance of 16 feet below the top, and "JO feet wide at the bottom.
An iron railing bounds the outside and inside of the walk around the
top. This Reservoir may be considered the termination of the Croton
Aqueduct, and is distant from the Fountain Reservoir at the Croton,
forty and a half miles.
—
Estimated Cost. It was at first estimated th:it it would cost five
or six millions of dollars; and at the city charter election of I83.'>.
the citizens were required to vole for or against supplying the city in
56 DESCRIPTION OF NEW-YORK.

this way. The whole number of votes given was 17,330, of whom
5,yt)3 were against it, and 1 1,307 in favor of it.
Cost of th^ fVork — —
Extent of Pipe laid. ^I'he whole cost of the
vvoik will be about $14,000,000. I'Jiere are laid between the Dis-
tributing Reservoir in Fortieth street, and the Battery, 150 miles and
3,G65 feet of pipe, from 6 to 36 inches in diameter, the majority of
wliich is from 6 to 12 inches in diameter and free hydrants are
;

oppned in most of the streets, besides the fire hydrants. There are
1400 fire, and GOO free hydrants. '

Introducing of the IVater.—The water was introduced into this

Reservou- on the 4ih July, 1842, and on the 14th of October follow-
ing, llie water was introduced into the city.
Analysis of the Croton fVater.—CroUm water, taken from the
Croton Dam, when perfectly clear, was found to contain 4.908, or
about ^«e grains of solid matter to the gallon. Schuylkill water,
taken from the middle basin, on Fairmount, (Philadelphia,) con-
tained 4. US grams ol solid mitter to the gallon.
Influence of ihc introduction of the Croton Water on the Rates of '^.

Insurance — The tnx t(i defray the interest of the Croton Water Debt
is 20 cents on the 100 dollars, and the average reduction on the rates
of insurance is at least 40 cents on the 100 dollars. In illustration ;

of the above, the Board mention the following :— One wlio [lays
j|

water rent for near forty houses, relates the result of a calculation
He compared the rate of insurance he paid on this
j

he made, viz. :
j

property previous to the introduction of Croton water, with the rate

jj

he pays at present, and added to it the Croton water lax, and sub-
traciing the two lastfioni liie first, the result is a clear saving of 25
percent. Another states, that he insures on his stock 30,000 dol-
lars; previous to the i itroduction of the water he paid 85 cents on
the 100 dollars ; he now pays for the same property 35 cents on the
hundred dollars, a saving of 150 dollars. If he paid tiie Croton
water t.ix on the above amount, it would be 60 dollars, leaving a
nettgiiin of 90 dollars.
Receipts and Expenditures for 1845. — According to the annual
Report of the Croton Aqueduct Board for lf^4.5, the receipts for the
year ending 30ih April, 1845, were $1 I8,.i82 74 and the expenditure
;

for the same period, $73,41 1 78. t'iiice the last annual report, there
have been laid three miles of pipe, very little more being required
within the piesent water district. Fronr the 1st of Way io the 21 si
of July, 52 days, there was received for water $ I06,9ii4 04. In a
corresponding period last year, the amount was $79,294 15, showing
an increase in favor of the present ye.ir of $27,669 S9, in 52 days.
At this rate, it is calculated that the whole revenue for the year will
ni>t be short of Si 160,000, and the annual increase will be equal to
35 per cent., or $-11,417 26.
—
JSTumber of Permits issued. The whole number of Permits is-
sued, to the first day of May, 1845, was 9,110. representing 9.582
water takers; being an increase of 2,225 since the 1st of »VJay, 1844.
The discrepancy between the number of permits and the number of
water takers, arises Oom a number of houses, steamboats, &.C.,
being included in one permit.
The revenue to be derived from the above named number of
water takers, for the full year, may be stated at $131,7h'4 55, divided
as follows:— 7,171 private dwellings, $72,123 88 2,411 miscella-
;

The City Hall.
Tlie City Hall, lierelofore regarded the finest building in the city,
and one of the liaestin the United SMie.s, has a commanding situa-
tion in the middle of the Park. It has more ornament t lan eiiher the
Exchansre or tlie Custom House, but less simple frrandcur though ;

with its furniture, it is, perhaps, the most intereslin-f buildin<i in the
citv. Itis2lfi feet Ion};, and 105 wide; was commenced in 1803,
and completed in 1812, and cost §538,734. The front and ends are

are the Governor's room, and the cliambersof the Common Council
and Assistant Aldermen.
The Crovcrnor''s Room is appropriated to the use of tlie Governor
of tlie Slate wlien lie visits the city, and has been used as a recep-
tion room for other distinguished men who have occasionally been
here. It is f)2 by 20 feet. The walls of tlie room are hung with a
fine collection of portraits, including the Governors of the State, the
Mayors of the City since the Revolution, some of the Dutch Go-
vernors, and the principal military and naval heroes of the late war
all of which are regarded as excellent likenesses.
The Common Counril Room is 42 by 30 feet, and the president
occupies the identical chair occupied by General Washington wlidi,
he presided over the first American Congress, wliicli assembled in
New-York. The seats of the aldermen are ranged in a semicircular
form, in the centre of which is a table for the clerk. The room
contains several fine full-length portraits, painted by Trumbull.
The room of the Assistant Akiermen is handsomely fitted up.

Room, and rooms of the American Institute.
Post Office.
ROBERT H. MORRIS, POSTMASTER.
The Post Office, formerly the Middle Dutch Church, is located in
Nassau-street, between Cedar and Liberty streets, now rented to the
General Government for 7 years, at the yearly rent of $5,000. This
venerable edifice has stood for 115 years, and eight or nine suc-
cessive generations (counting those who were aged at the time of its
opening) have worshipped within its walls. On Sabbath evening,
11th August, 1844, the closing exercises were held in the church, in
the view of resigning it for PostOtRce purposes. During ilie l!i\'o-
lutionary war, in 177fi, when the Biitish look possession of the city,
several of the churches were occupied and greatly injured by the
British soldiery but the Middle Dutch Church suffered the most.
;

Being directly adjacent to the famous sugar-house, the scene of atro

cious and multiplied cruellies inflicted upon American citizens, it
was at once used by the British soldiery for their quarters, for a
hospital, and then for a riding school, in which British horsemanship
was displayed. TIk; whole of the interior was destroyed and ren-
dered desolate. It was not till 1790 that the church was repaired,
and again opened for divine worship.
The Branch Post Office, recently opened, is situated at the corner
of East Broadway and Chatham Square.

THE f^MIGAT F5MK, JUt.\^ 19, 1845.

The lin)its of tiiis work will not allow a detailed Mccount of that
disastrous tire : it can only be briefly stated here, that 39 buildings
were destroyed in Beaver-street; 34 in Broadway; (i4 in Broad-
street; 14 in Exchange Place 10 in Marke!field-sirt-et 37 in JVew-
; ;

slreet; 15 in South William-street and 4 in Slone-sfreet. Total

;

—
number destroyed 217. Besides which, five other buildings were
mui-.h damaged
The heat ;•! the corner of Broadway and Morris-street was most
intense. At this point, Engine Co. No. 8 was stationed, and the
clothes of the men at the brakes, were only kept from burning by
the water which was played on them from anotiier engine. The
wind at this time was from the northeast consequently the heat ;

from the numerous burning buildings between Broadway and Broad-

street, as well as from those on Broadway, may be said to have
crossed that street at this point.
The total loss by the fire has been variously estimated at from
$5,0 )0,000 to $8,000,000. The fire commei)C(>d at about 3 o'clock,
A. M., and was not subdued till Jl o'clock, A. M., a period of eight
hours. Supposing, therefore, the total loss to have been .$((,000,000,
the average loss, per hour, was Ii57.5(),0(i0 the loss, per quarter of an
;

hour, was $187, .500; the loss, per minute, was $12,500; and the
average loss, per sccuvd, was $208 33J Bank notes of the denomi-
!

nation of five dollars would not burn as rapidly in a common fire-

pl.-ice as property v.as consumed by this confl igration.

THE LEGAL POWERS AND DUTIES OF

THE POLICEMEN OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
Jurisdiction.
Sec. 38. The Policemen of tlie City of New-York are author-
ized to take coijnizaiice of all criinin;tl offences commiited within
the following boundaries, whether on the land or on the water:
From low water mark on t!ie Westchester side of Spyten Duyvel
Creek to the Lonjj Fsland shore opposite to said cietk, and to the
New Jersey shore opposite to the i)lace wliere said creek empties
I'self into the Hudson River; from s lid line, soiitliwaid, aloiig Long
Island sliore, at low water-mark, and along the Nevv'-.iersey shore, |

at low water-mark, including the East River and the Uud-son River,
and the bay between Stateu Inland and Long island, together witJi
the islar.ds within said boundaries.
Arrests.
Sec. 39. An arrest, in criminal cases, is the apprehending or de-
taining a person to answer U) a crime or offence alleged against him,
or of which he is suspected to be guilty. To this arrest all persons,
without distinction, are liable when accused of liaving committed
a criminal offence.
40. An arrest on a criunnal charge may be made in any ))li»ce, or
at any time — on Simday as well as on any otlu^r day, and in tlie I

night as well as in the day time. But it must be bornem mind, that I

in all cases in which it is stated in these instructions, that a Police-

man may arrest without a warrant, it is necessary that he should
witness the coumiission of the otr<;nce, except the contrary be staled
in these instructions.
4L The party arrested should be notified of the ofhcer's author-
ity, and this will often prevent resistance, by taking away the pros-
pect of justifying or extenuating it.
42. If a Policemen find his personal efforts insufficient to efiect
an arrest, or if he have reason to apprehend thai resistance will be
made, he ought to require all persons present, or as many as he
shall think proper, to assist him ; and all who wilfully disobey such
command of assistance, are guilty of misdemeanor.
66 LEGAL POWERS AND DUTIES OF POLICEMEN.
-
j

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

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

immt'diatcly pursued, be followed wherever he may go; and if he i

take refuge in any house, the Policeman, after stating his office and j

object, may, if permission to enter shall not be given, break open

j

the outer door or wintlows, enter the house and arrest the otTender. |

If the Policeman find the outer door open, or it be opened to him

from within, and he enter that way, he may break open any inner
door, after proper demand and refusal, if necessary to make an ar- I

rest. The breaking of an outer door is, in general, so violent and |

dangerous a proceeding, that it must never be resorted to except in l

extreme cases, and when an immediate arrest is necessary.

44. Every Policeman must recollect, that in making an arrest, he j

is not justified in doing more than is absolutely necessary for the safe
custody of the parties until he conveys them to their proper des-
j

tination. Persons under arrest must be dealt with properly in all

cases; it is the duty of a Policeman to keep prisoners safely; but j

he has no right to punish them, and he must not even use language
to them calculated to provoke or offend them, for such conduct
would create resistance in the party, and a hostile feeling among
bystanders towards the Policeman.
Felonies.
Sec. 45. Felonies are offences for which the offender, on convic-
tion, shall be liable by law to be punished with death, or by im-
prisonment in a State Prison. The following are some of the cases
of felony in which Policemen will be most likely to be required to
act without a warrant from a Magistrate Murder, Manslaughter,
:

Rape, Mayhem, or Maiming; Assault and Battery, by such means

or force as is likely to produce death,with intent to commit a felony.
Wilful setting fire to any building, ship or vessel, or public bridge,
or any saw-mill, carding machine, stack of grain of any kind, stack
of hay, any nursery or orchard of fruit trees, or any fence around
any cultivated field if the property of another person. Breaking
into any building, and stealing therefrom, or with intent to commit
a felony. Robbery, Grand Larceny. Petit Larceny, second offence.
Receiving stolen goods with knowledge that they were stolen. For-
gery. Passing counterfeit coin or bank bills, with knowledge that
they are counterfeit or having them in possession, with such know-
;

ledge, and with intent to pass them. The father or mother of a child
under six years of age, or any person to whom such child shall have
been confided, exposing sucli child in any highway, street, field,
house or outhouse, with intent wholly to abandon it. Removing
the dead body of any human being from any place of interment,
for the purpose of selling it, or dissecting it, or from mere wanton-
ness or purchasing or receiving such dead body so di-interred
; or ;

opening a grave for such purpose, or to steal any article interred

with such body. Wilfully administering poison to any horse, sheep
or cattle, or maliciously exposing any poisonous substance with
intent that the same should be taken or swallowed by any horse,
cattle or slieep. An inhabitant of another State or Coimty voting

rupt swearing or affirming at said elections, or wilfully and corruptly
procuring any person to swear or afiirm falsely at said elections.

place of confinement for felony, to escape therefrom, whether such
escape be effected or not or forcibly rescuing any prisoner held in

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

tion, or punishment. To receive, with a knowledge of the actual

commission of a felony, any property, or gratuity or reward, or any
]

engagement or promise therefor, upon any agreement expressed or i

implied, to compound or conceal the oftence, or to abstain from any

prosecutions therefor, or to withhold any evidence thereof. I

Power to prerent Felonies.

Sec. 46. It is the first duty of a Policemen to prevent the com- I

mission of a crime, and for this purpose he has power to arrest any 1

person who, from his acts, conduct, situation and character, he has
just cause to suspect is about to commt a felony. He should arrest
any person having in his possession any implements used for, or [

adapted to, house-breaking, under such circumstances as give just [

cause to suspect that he is about to use them for that purpose or;

any person who, in the presence of the Policeman, may threaten the 1

life of any person, or to burn his house, or to commit any felony ;

or any person armed with any offensive weapon, with intent there- (

with to commit a felony. He should also arrest any person found \

in any building, whether inhabited or not, or in any enclosed yard, i

garden or area, under such circumstances jis give just cause to sus- |

pact that he is there with any felonious purpose.

47. In these, and similar cases, Policemen must judge from all
|

the circumstances of the case what the intention of the party is. In
—
some cases no doubt can exist as when the party is a notorious
j

thief, or acting with those u ho are known to be thieves :or when \

the party is attempting to break into a house, or is examining the ;

doors and windows, or endeavouring to take properly secretly.

If the intention of the party admits of doubt, the Policemen will
not act hastily, but will closely watch the suspected party, that lie
may discover his design.
Power to Arrest for Felony.
S£c. 48. A Policeman must make every exertion to effect the arrest
of any one he may see in the act of committing a felony, or any one
charged positively by another with having commiiicd a felony, or
even charged, on the suspicion of another, of having committed a
felony, if the suspicion appear to the Policeman to be well founded,
and provided the person so suspecting go with him and though no
;

charge be made, yet, if the Policeman have good cause to suspect

a person has committed a felony, he should arrest him, and if he
have reasonable grounds for his 6usi)icions, and the arrest is made
discreetly and fairly, in pursuit of an offender, and not fmm any
malice or ill will, the Policeman will be justified, even though it
should afterwards appear that no felony was committed. Hut the
Policeman must be cautious, in such cases, as his sole defence can
rest only on the reasonableness of his suspicions. (See section 43.) |

49. li' a Policeman see any one carrying, or in any manner convey-
ing any goods, under circumstances which lead to a strong suspicion
that they have been stolen, he should, particularly in the night, stop
and examine the person and if the appearance and manner of the
;

party, his account of himself and of the goods, and all the circum-
stances of the case, siiould leave no doubt that the goods have been
stolen, he should arrest the perscm, and take possession of the goods.
But if the suspicion of the Policeman be slight, he should not stop

jiosited; and if be tlien become fully convinced that the property
has been stolen, he will make the arrest, and take charge of the
goiids.

Misdemeanor, Disorderly Conduct, &c.

Sec. 50. A Mi.'^drmeanor is any crime less than a felony and if ;

the offence bo comiiiitted in the pre^^ence of a Tolicf-man, he may

arrest the otiendcr forthwith, or m-iy, in imnit-dinte pursuit follow
him .as stated in Section 43. This class of offences is so numerous,
that but a small poriion can be inserted here. The following are

TRINITY CHURCH.
We this year prefjent tiie reailuis of llie Great Metropolis with nn
I nccuratu view of Tiinify Cluutlj. The facts connected wiih its
I
history, and the description of the building have been furnished by
Hf-nry M. Onderdonk, E^q., author of the " History of the Frotest-
;int Episcopal Churrlies, in tlie city of Nnw-York."
:
Brief nistnry of the Church —The nien»l>ers of the Pro-
I
teslant Episcopal Church (ilien known as the Church of England
in America,) held thmr ti:st relifiious services in this city, in a small
I

chapel attached to a fort vvhicli stood near the present Battery.

1697. It was then a small square but was enlarged in IT.'JS,
edifice,
and again in 1737. On the 2lst of Septeuiber, 1776, by the memor-
able ftre, which laid waste so great a portion of the city, this edifice
was entirely consumed. Jt lay in ruins during the remainder of the
Revolutionary war, at the expiration of which, it was rebuilt, and
consecrated by Hisliup Provoost in 1790. In J8;W, an examination
having been made of the building, it was deemed advisable to pull
it down, and erect another iu its place. TJie magnificent edifice,
located in Broadway, opposite Wall-st., (erected under the superin-
tendence of Mr. Richard Upjohn, archilect,) and of which a view is
—
given, is the result a result truly creditable to the age and nation,
and one which will prove a lasting monument of the munificent
character of the venerable corporation of the parish.
—
Description nf the Chunk. The style of architecture is the per-
pendicular fJothic, the peculiar characteristic of which is, that the
mullious of the windows, and the ornamented pannelings run in
perpendicular lines. It is the first church erected in this country
havmg the clerestory, and is built entirely of sand stone, even to the
apex of the spire. The aisle walls are 40 feet in heigiit, and are each
supported by eight subitantial buttresses, between which arc pointed
windows, 24 feet high, beautifully ornamented by tracery cut in
stone. A. moulded battlement surmounts these walls, extending
their whole length.
The clerestory is supported by massive piers, rising from the inte-
rior of the church, and a succession of arches springing from them.
It is also surmounted by a battlement, which runs over the wall of
the western end, and is crowned at the apex by a cross. Each but-
tress has upon it a pinnacle crocketed at the angles and terminating
in a finial. In the western wall of the church is a magnificent win-
dow, termed the altar window, 60 feet high, and 25 feet wide. Its
breadth is distributed into seven bays, and its length into two sections
by a transom mulllon in the centre, and is, as are all the other win-
dows, glazed with stained glass.
But that which most strikes the eye with admiration, is the magnifi-
cence of the tower and spire. Covered as they are with elaborate
work, cut in solid stone, and running up to the height of 283
feet, their imposing grandeur is beyond description. The base
of the tower is 30 feet square, and 6 feet inches through, and
is supported by double buttresses 4 feet wide, projecting 7 feet 6
inches. The entrance through the tower is 20 feet wide, and 30 feet
high, and is surmounted by a bishop's mitre. The whole height of
j
the tower is 127 feet. The spire is in fine proportion, and rises to
the top of the cross which crowns it, to the height of 1.56 feet, thus
making the aggregate height 283 feet. It is octagonal, and each angle
is decorated by a succession of crockets. The steeple will contain a
clock, and a chime of bells.
The interior of Trinity is equally as beautiful aa tin; exterior.
The nave is 137 feet long, 36 feet wide, and f>7 feet 6 inches high,
and receives its support from a double colonnade, each of 7 English
piers. The vaulting over it consists of graceful groining, and is de-
corated 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 apartment
72 feet in length, with a groined ceiling. In it are placed all the
monumental tablets formerly in the other building. Among them is

also, that application shall be made within six months of the date of
the return of the Assessm iiit Rolls to the Receiver. The Rolls will be
returned eirlv in October, and the time for correcting erroneous taxes
therefore expires early in April.

CELEBRATED ESTABLISHMENTS IN NEW-YORK.
{The Jlrrangemrnt is Alphabetical.)
Silver and Silver plated Ware, Jewelry, Watches, &c. —
The establisliinent of Ball, Tompkins, &
Black, (successors to the
late well known firm of Mnrqiiand &
Co.,) No. 181 Br«adwa3^ is
quite celebrated in its line, and in every respect worthy the attention
of strangers, as weli as otiiers, who desire Silver, or Silver-plated
Ware, Forks, Spoons, Tea-Sets, Coffee or Tea Urns, Tnreens,
.

Pitchers, Waiters, Cake or Fniil Baskets, Fruit or Dessert Knives,

&c., &c.
The above establishment, having been in existence more than
thirty years, is, jsrobably, the oldest of its kind in Broadway and
;

from the well-known character of the gentlemen who conduct it,

the articles which they manufacture to order, or sell from their
cises, may be relied on as being of the quality represented. In tliis
respect, ail their merchandise is warranted, both as regards materials
and workmanship. The admirers of whatever is chaste and beauti-
ful in design, or perfect in execution, will here find an assortment of
Silver and Plated Ware. Diamond and other Jewelry, Watche-s,
Clocks, fcc, &c., &c., as rich, choice, and varied, as can be found in
the city, and for which this establishment has been so long and so
justly celebrated.
Strangers and others who desire to witness the progress of Ameri-
can artisans, in many of the above-named articles, or, to select some
tasty and elegant article of jewelry to make a present, either on a
matrimonial or birthday occasion, or as a keepsake, will find that
the arts of design and meclianism are here combined with gold and
rare gems, in a manner calculated to cull forth the admiration of the
most fastidious.
—
Lamps, Chandeliers, and Girandoles. Among the many at-
tractions of the sunny side of Broadway, the splendid establishment
of Messrs. Couthouy & Severs, for the sale of H. N. Hooper & Go's
Lamps, Girandoles, &c., (.No. ;UI,) is conspicuous for its rich and
varied display of these goods and their exquisite workmanship. But a
few years ago, we were entirely dependant on England and France
for oitr supply, and the enormous prices charged by importers, placed
a h;indsome set of these articles beyond the reach of any but the
wealthier portion of our community. A few enterprising persons
have produced a complete revolution in this respect, and such things
are no longer regarded as luxuries, nor imported stive in comparitive-
ly small quantities.
Messrs. U. N. Hoop'^r & Co. of B.)ston, have long stood at the
head of those engaged in thi? branch of manufacture, and in re-
peated strusgies for the supremacy, have invariably triumphed over
j
all compiuitors. They comin:^nced their opsrations about the year
1833, and the very next year, specimens of their Limpi exhibited at
the Fair of the American Insritute in this city obtained the highest
premium. Since that time, tiK.-y have m linfained unshaken preemi-
nence, and have received from various associations for the encourage-
ment of Home Industry, six gold and as many silver medals, among
which are the gold medals of the two l:ist Fairs of the Institute.
Most of our readers will recollect the m
ignificent display made by
Couthouy & Nevers on those occasions, which excited tiie unquali-
fied admiration of the throng of visiters. The factory of Hooper &
Co. is the most extensive and perfect in its arrangements of any of
tiie kind in this country, and has few if any equals in Europe, and ig
 CKLEBRATED ESTABLISHMENTS IN NEW-YORK. 117
justly classed among thf lions of Boston. In style and delicacy of
finish, tlieLamps and Girandoles from this celebratf.-d manufactory
immeasurably surpass any other we liave ever examined of Ameri-
can make, and are not excelled b> the finest specimens of Eunipean
skill. Tiie intelligent observer of our progress in the household
arts, will derive no ordinary gratification from a visit to the Depot
of Messrs. Coutliouy & Nevers.
—
DisBRow's Eqi-estrian Atademy. There is no place about town
where the " utile et (hilce " are so splendidly blended as at Disbrovv's
Equestrian Academy in the Bowery, near Vauxhall Garden. The
—
comforts and convenience of the m megc the politeness and skill of
—
the proprietor and instructor the fine horses and moderate charges,
conspire to render that establishment well worthy the patronage of
the enlightened citizens of New Vork. Horsemanship is becoming
a necessary accomplishment for both ladies and gentlemen; and as
it is an art which requires a competent instructor, we can confidently
I

I recommend Mr. VVm. fl. Disbrovv as a gentlein m

pre-eminently
qualified as a teacher. Thoroughly acquainted with the disposition
I

I
and management of the horse, and being himself one of the most
i
graceful riders in the citv, persons placing themselves under his
tuition cannot fail receiving a proper knowledge of the art.
To ladies this establishment affords peculiar advantages, as they
I

I
are concealed from public gaze while under instruction, and because
;
no possible danger can be apprehended. Mr. D. lias horses which he
i
has trained especially for the, use of his lady pupils.— We
feel con-
fident that the advantages of this pleasant place of exercise and
amusement need only to be known, and it will receive a present
share of public patronage.
As the Academy is open to ladies and gentlemen, the former in the
j
forenoon, the latter in the afternoon, we would advise ail to visit it
and judge for themselves.

Printing Press, Machine, and Saw Manufactory. — We have

h.id the pleasure; of visiting the celebrated establishments of Messrs.
Hoe & Co., located :a'i[) and 31 Gf)ld-strcet, and at the corner of
Brooms and .Sheriffstreets, and many new and gratifying reflections
hnve been suggested thereby, connected with the history of the
Mechanic Arts in the United States. " The never-ending still —
—
beginning" clink of hammers the roar of furnaces and blowers
—
there to be lieard still linger on our ear. What a life those sons of
—
Vulcan lead amid the din of artificial thunders the very variety
of which is monotonous! A visit to such an establishment afl^)rds,
to the reflecting mind, the most satisfactory proofs of the ra|iid ad-
vance of American skill in manufactures. With this est;iblishm!'nt,
editors and publishers of newspipers throughout the United State.s
are f imiliar. It is not devoted, however, exclusively to the manu-
factiiie of machine and hand presses —but every tiling necessary for
a printing office and bindery, including type, ink, &c., is furnished
at the shortest notice, and at a cost much less than fi)rmerly. Ma-
chinery of every description is manufactured by the Messrs. Hoe,
with an expedition ami in a style of finish unsurpassed by any simi-
lar establishment in the United Stales. But to ap|)reciate Justly the
degree of perfection which they have reached in the manufacture of
printing midlines, printing and standing presses, hydraulic and
screw presses, saw-mills, veneer saws circular, pit, mill, cross cut,
;

and other saws— and macliinery generally— the reader must visit

World, and such is the magnitude of its business, induced by the
superiority of its productions, that it furnishes employment and sup-
port to upwards of 500 individnals.
The Manuf'.cturing Department is conducted upon an immense
scale, to supply tiic very Inraje consumption of the Picture Depart-
ment of the concern, and to fill the mitaerous orders from all partsof
the world, for Apparatus, Plates, Cases, Chemicals, &c.
The Gallery here, is one of the most attractive and interesting
places of fashionable public resort in New-York and an honor to the ;

City.
being Free, and occupying tl:e first floor above the street, it istlic
pleasantest lounge in Broadway and is daily frequented by the elite,
;

who find this an agreeable resting place in passing up and down the
gay thoroughfare.
It contains a vast collection of the most perfect and choice sped
mens of the beautiful art of Photograph)', ever produced. Among
them are Likenesses of many of the most distinguished individuals of
the country Presidents, Vice Presidents, Officers of the Cabinet,
;

Army, Navy, &c.. Senators, Members of Congress. Judges, Divines,

Lawyers, Authors, Actors, Municipal Officers of this city, and a host
of others " too numerous to mention."
Above the Gallery are numerous suites of Eooms, appropriated to
the use of sitters who are thus secured the advantages of privacy
;

and despatch in liaving tlieir portraits executed.

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

EllirJ,
and St'iO Broadway, opposite tlie City Ilall, deserves p irlicular atten-
tion. Here all tastes an<l all imrses may be suited. Here may be found,
for instance, the compact, useful sliaving apparatus for "the million,"
at the cost of a few siiillings, or, the magnificent dressing case with
silver and even gold mountings, for tli(! "units," at the cost of
a few Jiundred dollars— Work Boxes for the careful housewife,
or, those garnished with damasked or golden implements fit for
the belles of the land— Fans at the cost of a huiidied dollars, or a

—
from China and Japan Gloves of a softness and beauty of shape,
not obtainable elsewhere— Pajjer and Envelopes, and all the furniture
—
of the Escritoire in short, we believe their collection of rich, curious
I
and useful articles, adapted to one's own wants, or as presents for
every occasion, is not suii)assed in the world. To collect and keep
assorted so various a stock, requires one of their firm to be always in
Europe, visiting the ditferent Capitals and procuring from each its
rarest and most elegant novelties.
Since they themselves in their announcement, invite the visits of
strangers, ai.d extend to all so jtarticular an attention, that each con-
siders himself a specially favonnl one surely we may safely echo
;

the invitation and reconnnend all purchasers either wholesale or re-

tail, as well as all pleasure seekers, to visit them.

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

unique and bjauliful in the United States.

PliACES OF AMUSEMENT IN NEAV-YORK.
{The Arrangement is Alphabetical.)
AMERICAN MUSEUM.
This extensive establishment, which was founded in 1810, by John
Scndder, esq., is situated in tlie very heart of tlie city, corner of
Broadway and Ann streets, oppositeSt. Paul's Church and the Astor
House, and contijruous to the majority of the best hotels in the City,
the Park, City Hall. &c. It is one of the most interesiing, as well
as extensive establishments of the kind in America, containing seve-
ral large and conniiodious halls, over one hundred feet in length,
filled with an innumerable quantity of curiosities from every portion
of the globe, to which continual additions nre being made. Here
are Birds of every variety and clime, from ihe ^>slrich to the hun-
dred kinds of Humming Birds from the Bird u '^aradise of the
;

Tropics, to the Penguins of the Polar Regions.

Tlie specimens of Preserved Animals and Reptiles are v'* ""emark-
able excellence, such as were never seen alive, in this country. The
departments of Conchology, Entomology and Mineralogy, are very
perfect. The collection of Indian and Polynesian Implements,
War Clubs, Idols, &c. is very curious, interesting and valuable. The
Grand Cosmorama contains views of the most celebrated Cities,
Scenery and J\atural Phenomena, executed at an immense expense,
ty the first Artists in Europe. The Miscellaneous Curiosities, include
a fine collection of Old Paintings and Rare Engravings, many
Chinese Curiosities, ancient Suits of Armor, Mail and Arms, antique
Coins, splendid Fossils, beautiful Statuary, a finely preserved Egyp-
tian Jlummy, &c.
A Saloon capable of seating over one thousand persons at a time
lias recently been added to the Museum, and a great variety of the
most amusing, and perfectly chaste performances take place there-
in every evening, (except Sundays,) in the year. The price of ad-
mission to the whole is only 25 cts.
AMERICAN ART UNION.
American Art Union, 322 Broadway. The amount received from
those who contribute $5 per annum, is appropriated to the purchase
of paintings by American Artists, which are disposed of annually by
lottery, among the subscribers.
Ofiicers.— W. C. Bryant, Pres.; Andrew Warner, R.F. Eraser,
Sees. ; Eben Piatt, Treas.

BOWERY THEATRE,
Is situated hi the Bowery, above Bayard street. (TJie particulars
respecting it have not been obtained)
CASTLE GARDEN i

Is built on a mole, and connected with the Battery by a bridge. It

was originally erected as a fortification, and having become un-
necessary for this purpose, was ceded by the United States to the (

corporation of the city in 1823. Within its walls, ] 0,000 peo))le can j

be accommodated in a great amphitheatre ; it is used ifor exhibitions,

and sometimes for public meetings.
CHATHAM THEATRE.
This theatre is situated on Chatham-street, near the corner of
Roosevelt, and almost opposite Orange-street. The great success it
has met with under the management of the present lessees, Messrs.
Deverna &De Bar, has given it the exceedingly popular cognomen
of " Tlie People's Theatre." The house is nearly as large as the
 ;

PLACES OF AMUSEMENT. 1/81

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

and the manner in which it is conducted is delightful in the extreme.

We Bjay safely say, that good order always prevails, and tiiai a
strong police force is ever in attendance to protect and be of service
to the unwary stranger. The stage department is as well managed
as the front. The performers are selected from the most talented in
the States. Among the Chatham favourites are George Hill, fa-
miliarly called '• Yankee Hill," T. D. Rice, the original "Jim Crow,"
and J. B. Booth, the famous tragedian. The eniertainments gene-
rally consist of choice equestrian and other melo-dramas, with
farces, and a variety of dancing and iimsical belween-piece perform-
ances. !n short, for beautiful scenery, choice acting, capital music,
and comfort for the visitor, the Chatliam, or People's Theatre, is
second to no other dramatic temple in the United States. The prices
—
of admission are reasonable enough, viz. boxes, 25 cents; pit, one
shilling. A privat,<! box, which will hold 12 persons, can be had for
$3. VVho would visit New- York without going to the Chatham-
street Theatre 7 No one.

MITCHELL'S OLYMPIC THEATRE.

This building. No. 444 Broadway, was converted into a Theatre
in 1837, by Messrs.Willard &. Blake, but was only under their man-
agement a few months, the enterprise meeting with very indifferent
success. The establishment then for a period of nearly two years,
was under the control of a number of individuals, but with as little
success as attended the effort of the original proprietors. In the
month of Dreember, 1830, it came under the control of the present
lessee, Mr. Mitchell, by whose skill, enterprise, and able manage-
ment, it has become from the most insignificant and unfortunate, the
most popular and s<iccessful Theatre in this city, or indeed in the
j
United States. To the tact with which Mr. Mitchell has seized local
incidents and prevailing follies, for the purpose of atuusing and
inoffensive satire, together with an unexauipled rapidity in the
production of novelties, may be traced in a great degree, his extraor-
dinary success. He has not sought the aid of those theatrically
termi^d "Stars," his object being to present a general rather than a
i
particular excellence, and in this he has shown his usual judgment.
The audiences of the Olympic are of the highest respectability, and
the boxes nightly display as much of the beauty and refinement of
the city as can well be pressed into its drawing room limits.

NIBLQ'S (JARDEN,
Situated on the corner of Broadway and Prinee streets, is laid out
with eseeediiag taste, and always the very pattern of neatness, hav-
ing walks lined with choice flowers and shrubbery; an elegant
Saloon, adorned with chaste and beautiful designs, mirrors, &c.
grounds, too, oraamente<l and rendered refreshing by the ever-
—
gushing waters of a fountain these when combined, as they are
combined in summer, with the delightful strains of a military band,
give a peculiar fascination to this Garden, and tend, together with
the exceeding taste and propriety witii wliish every thing is presented
and conducted, to render this establishment the theme of praise
among all citizens and strangers. The fireworks occasionally ex-
hibited here are of the first order, and the thealiieal and operatical
entertainmeais are "ever pleasing, ever new."
PARK THEATRE,
Situated in Park opposite the Park, was built in 1T96 ; altered
Row,
and improved in 180G burnt in 1820 and r. built in 1821. There
; :

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

the numbers change from ri»-ht to left.
Note.— The streets above Twelfth-street are divided by Avenue 5th, into East
and West— as East Thirteenth, West Thirieeiuh— and those streets located as
abore described will be found, therefore, in this work, under East and West

IMPROVED PATENT

ESTABLISHED ISIO.

(many yfars with erard.)

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