DESCRIPTION OF NEW-YORK.

The

Battery.

The

Battery at the soiitliern end of the city, is situated at the junction of Hudson and East Rivers. It is in the form of a crescent, containing about 11 acres of ground, laid out wiih grass plots and gravelled walks, shaded wiiii trees. From this spot is a fine view of the bay, its islands, and the adjacent shores of New Jersey, and Long and Staten Islands. The scene is generally enlivened by shipping under sail.

The The

Park.

Park, called in early times the Commons,

is

a triangular area

of about lOi acres, lying between Broadway, Chatham and Chambers streets, is laid out with walks, and planted with trees, and surrounded by an iron fence, which cost over ^15,000. It contains the City Hall, the new City Hall or old Alms House, and the Rotunda, now occupied by the New- York Gallery of tlie Fine Arts. It has also, towards its southern part, a public fountain, within a basin, about 100 feet in diameter, which has a variety of jets, which are occasionally changed. When the water is thrown in a single stream, it ascends to the height of about 70 feet, presenting a m-jjestic and interesting appearance. The fountain is designed to be made yet more ornamental.

The BowUng Green. The Bowling

Green, at the southern termination of Broadway, 220 feet long and 140 feet broad, enclosed by an iron fence. It existed before the American Revolution, and formerly contained a leaden statue of George III., which was converted into bullets at that period. It contains a public fountain, which is supplied by the Cioton waterworks. In the centre of a large basin is placed a rude pile of huge rocks in a somewiiat circular form, about 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. is

Church, but has been reserved as a permanent public square. It is beautifully laid out with walks, shaded with trees, and surrounded by an iron fence, which cost $26,000. It contains about four acres of ground, has a public fountain, and is, perhaps, the most ornamental spot in the city.

Washington Square. Washington Square, a mile and a half north of the City Hall, between 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 fountain in the centre with ornamental jets, and is a delightful breathingplace to the inhabitants.

cheapest and most convenient niode of vi.siting the Distributing Reservoir in Forlielli-street, or the Receiving Reservoir in Eightysixth 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 twentyseven 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 ;



two feet deep. The Dam is 250

it is

feet long, 70 feet wide at bottom, and 7 feet at feet high, built of stone and cement. It creates a pond 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 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 thirteen 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 progress 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 galtop, five

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

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 Distributing Reservoir in Fortieth street, and the Battery, 150 miles and 3,G65 feet of pipe, from 6 to 36 inches in diameter, the majority of wliich is from 6 to 12 inches in diameter and free hydrants are oppned in most of the streets, besides the fire hydrants. There are 1400 fire, and GOO free hydrants. Introducing of the IVater.—The water was introduced into this Reservou- on the 4ih July, 1842, and on the 14th of October following, llie water was introduced into the city. Analysis of the Croton fVater.—CroUm water, taken from the Croton Dam, when perfectly clear, was found to contain 4.908, or about ^«e grains of solid matter to the gallon. Schuylkill water, taken from the middle basin, on Fairmount, (Philadelphia,) contained 4. US grams ol solid mitter to the gallon. Influence of ihc introduction of the Croton Water on the Rates of The tnx t(i defray the interest of the Croton Water Debt Insurance 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 water rent for near forty houses, relates the result of a calculation he made, viz. He compared the rate of insurance he paid on this property previous to the introduction of Croton water, with the rate he pays at present, and added to it the Croton water lax, and subthis

If he paid tiie Croton water t.ix on the above amount, it would be 60 dollars, leaving a nettgiiin of 90 dollars. According to the annual Receipts and Expenditures for 1845. 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 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.

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 successive 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\'olutionary war, in 177fi, when the Biitish look possession of the city, several of the churches were occupied and greatly injured by the but the Middle Dutch Church suffered the most. British soldiery Being directly adjacent to the famous sugar-house, the scene of atro cious and multiplied cruellies inflicted upon American citizens, it was at once used by the British soldiery for their quarters, for a hospital, and then for a riding school, in which British horsemanship was displayed. TIk; whole of the interior was destroyed and rendered desolate. It was not till 1790 that the church was repaired, and again opened for divine worship. The Branch Post Office, recently opened, is situated at the corner of East Broadway and Chatham Square. From 8 A. M. to 7 P. M. Office Hours. On Sunday. From 9 to 10 A. M., and from 12,1- to 1^ P.

Arrests.

Sec. 39. An arrest, in criminal cases, is the apprehending or detaining 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 on Simday as well as on any otlu^r day, and in tlie at any time night as well as in the day time. But it must be borne mind, that in all cases in which it is stated in these instructions, that a Policeman may arrest without a warrant, it is necessary that he should witness the coumiission of the otr<;nce, except the contrary be staled in these instructions. 4L The party arrested should be notified of the ofhcer's authority, and this will often prevent resistance, by taking away the prospect 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.

A

person vvlio has committed a felony, or who, for reasonable cause, is suspected of having committed a felony, Juay, if he be immt'diatcly pursued, be followed wherever he may go; and if he take refuge in any house, the Policeman, after stating his office and object, may, if permission to enter shall not be given, break open 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 arrest. The breaking of an outer door is, in general, so violent and dangerous a proceeding, that it must never be resorted to except in extreme cases, and when an immediate arrest is necessary. 43.

Every Policeman must recollect, that in making an arrest, he is not justified in doing more than is absolutely necessary for the safe custody of the parties until he conveys them to their proper desPersons under arrest must be dealt with properly in all tination. cases; it is the duty of a Policeman to keep prisoners safely; but 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.

prerent Felonies.

Sec. 46. It is the first duty of a Policemen to prevent the commission of a crime, and for this purpose he has power to arrest any 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 life of any person, or to burn his house, or to commit any felony or any person armed with any offensive weapon, with intent therewith to commit a felony. He should also arrest any person found in any building, whether inhabited or not, or in any enclosed yard, garden or area, under such circumstances jis give just cause to suspact 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 thief, or acting with those u ho are known to be thieves or when the party is attempting to break into a house, or is examining the doors and windows, or endeavouring to take properly secretly. If the intention of the party admits of doubt, the Policemen will not act hastily, but will closely watch the suspected party, that lie may discover his design.

Power to Arrest for Felony. S£c. 48. A Policeman must make every exertion to effect the arrest of any one he may see in the act of committing a felony, or any one charged positively by another with having commiiicd a felony, or even charged, on the suspicion of another, of having committed a felony, if the suspicion appear to the Policeman to be well founded, and provided the person so suspecting go with him and though no charge be made, yet, if the Policeman have good cause to suspect a person has committed a felony, he should arrest him, and if he have reasonable grounds for his 6usi)icions, and the arrest is made discreetly and fairly, in pursuit of an offender, and not fmm any malice or ill will, the Policeman will be justified, even though it should afterwards appear that no felony was committed. Hut the Policeman must be cautious, in such cases, as his sole defence can rest only on the reasonableness of his suspicions. (See section 43.) 49. li' a Policeman see any one carrying, or in any manner conveying any goods, under circumstances which lead to a strong suspicion that they have been stolen, he should, particularly in the night, stop and examine the person and if the appearance and manner of the party, his account of himself and of the goods, and all the circumstances of the case, siiould leave no doubt that the goods have been stolen, he should arrest the perscm, and take possession of the goods.

Disordirly Conduct, S,-c. likely to take place, as when persons are openly preparing to fight, the Policemen should give notice of his office, arid immediately interfere, tosep.-irate the parties, and to jjreveiit others from joining in the affray. If the offenders do not immediately desist, and the disturbance be of a serious nature, he should take the parties into custody, securing also the principal instigators of the tumult, and do every thing in his power to restore quiet. And if the parties flee into a house and there fight and disturb tlie public peace, the Policeman should enter the house, and arrest the otienders and restore quiet for it is the duty of Policemen to stop tumults which greatly disturb the public peace, whether they occur in the streets or in buildings. (See Section 43.) Gl. A Policeman must be cautious never to interfere idly or unnecessarily but when retjuired to act, lie will do so with discretion, decision and boldness and he may arrest any one who may oppose him in the execution of his duty, if he can prove some specific fact, but not otherwise. 6*2. A Policeman is not authorised to arrest, or assist in arresting, without a warrant, a party charged with disorderly conduct, or an assault, or similar offence not committed in his presence, nor should he receive into liis custody a person so charged, unless the party has been arrested by a person who saw the offence coumiitted. But if a person has been severely cut or wounded, and gives info custody the party charged with having cut or wounded him, the Policeman is authorized to take the party into custody, and if the party injured is able to accompany the officer to the Police Court, or District Head Quarters, as the case may be, he must do so.

was then a small square

81

but was enlarged in IT.'JS, and again in 1737. On the 2lst of Septeuiber, 1776, by the memorable 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 TJie magnificent edifice, it down, and erect another iu its place. located in Broadway, opposite Wall-st., (erected under the superintendence of Mr. Richard Upjohn, archilect,) and of which a view is given, is the result a result truly creditable to the age and nation, and one which will prove a lasting monument of the munificent character of the venerable corporation of the parish. Description nf the Chunk. The style of architecture is the perpendicular fJothic, the peculiar characteristic of which is, that the mullious of the windows, and the ornamented pannelings run in perpendicular lines. It is the first church erected in this country havmg the clerestory, and is built entirely of sand stone, even to the apex of the spire. The aisle walls are 40 feet in heigiit, and are each supported by eight subitantial buttresses, between which arc pointed windows, 24 feet high, beautifully ornamented by tracery cut in stone. A. moulded battlement surmounts these walls, extending 1697.

It

edifice,





their

whole

length.

The

clerestory is supported by massive piers, rising from the inteof 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 buttress has upon it a pinnacle crocketed at the angles and terminating In the western wall of the church is a magnificent winin a finial. 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 windows, glazed with stained glass. But that which most strikes the eye with admiration, is the magnificence 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 rior

j

The

&

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 is, jsrobably, the oldest of its kind in Broadway and from the well-known character of the gentlemen who conduct it, the articles which they manufacture to order, or sell from their cises, may be relied on as being of the quality represented. In tliis respect, ail their merchandise is warranted, both as regards materials and workmanship. The admirers of whatever is chaste and beautiful in design, or perfect in execution, will here find an assortment of Silver and Plated Ware. Diamond and other Jewelry, Watche-s, Clocks, fcc, &c., &c., as rich, choice, and varied, as can be found in the city, and for which this establishment has been so long and so thirty years,

;

justly celebrated. Strangers and others

who desire to witness the progress of Ameriartisans, 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. can



Lamps, Chandeliers, and Girandoles. Among the many atsunny side of Broadway, the splendid establishment & 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-

j

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 repeated strusgies for the supremacy, have invariably triumphed over 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 linfained unshaken preeminence, and have received from various associations for the encouragement of Home Industry, six gold and as many silver medals, among which are the gold medals of the two l:ist Fairs of the Institute. Most of our readers will recollect the ignificent display made by Couthouy Nevers on those occasions, which excited tiie unqualified 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

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 pre-eminently recommend Mr. VVm. fl. Disbrovv as a gentlein qualified as a teacher. Thoroughly acquainted with the disposition and management of the horse, and being himself one of the most 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 are concealed from public gaze while under instruction, and because no possible danger can be apprehended. Mr. D. lias horses which he has trained especially for the, use of his lady pupils.— feel confident 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.

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.

His arrangements are such as to enable him to transact business European prices, thereby sivirig purchasers the high duties imposed by tariff on these Instruments. J. F. IJrowne wonld observe, these Harps are constructed on the most improved principles, with all thn modern improvements of London and Paris, are unequalled in brilliancy of tone, fineness of touch, and perfectness of mechanism. Particular care is taken to fit them for the extremes of climate in this country, in which respfct they will be found far superior to any of European manufacture, imported in the usual way. These Harps are patronised by the elite of musical taste and professional 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 professional talent in this country. at
