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,

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.

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
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

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
;
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. '
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
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

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.

custody of the parties until he conveys them to their proper des-
j
he has no right to punish them, and he must not even use language

tion, shall be liable by law to be punished with death, or by im-

per cent, per annum, to be reckoned from the day of payment to the
first day of February. All taxes remaining unpaid on the 15th day of
February, are chargeable with a penalty of one per cent, on the
amount of the tax: if remaining unpaid on the 15th of Marcli, an
additional one per cent., making two per cent. and if not paid be-
:

per cent per uionth to date brick, to October, 1845. For all taxes re-
maining unpaid on the 15th of April, the Receiver is authorised to

ERRONEOUS TAXES.
An act was passed by the State Legislature, in May, 1844,
authorising the Board of Supervisors of the city and county of
New- York, to correct taxes erroneously assessed, provided the same
did not result from the neglect of the person assessed, and provided
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.
The Board of Supervisors is composed of the following officers;
viz:
The Mayor, Recorder, and Aldermen. David T. Valentine, No. 8
City Hall, is clerk of the Board of Supervisors.

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

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.
and other saws— and macliinery generally— the reader must visit
;
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,
;
—
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
;
BOWERY THEATRE,
Is situated hi the Bowery, above Bayard street. (TJie particulars
respecting it have not been obtained)
CASTLE GARDEN i
corporation of the city in 1823. Within its walls, ] 0,000 peo))le can j
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
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.
