under so good regulations as in Connecticut and the other New England States. Water. The city is supplied with water from the Manhattan works, situated in Cross street. The water is raised by steam and carried to the reservoir in Chambers street, from whence it is conveyed in pipes under ground to every part of the city, and into the houses of the citizens, in sufficient quantities for ordinary uses. This is a very salutary regulation, but does not supply a sufficiency of water yet in cases of fire. Public Walks.-The Battery, at the southwest point of the city, is a place of general resort in the summer season, and from its situation in front of the bay is a very healthful, as well as pleasant walk in the beautiful mornings of summer, and affords great scope for an expanded reflecting mind. The Park is an elegant piece of ground, disposed in a triangular form, well planted with trees, and covered with grass and gravel walks. This, like the Battery, would be a place of general resort, were it not for a certain use, which the sovereign people think proper to make of it. When a warm sun beams on it, a compound of more villainous smells never offended nostrils than issues there. There are many places in the city dignified by the title of public gardens, but they are mere punch boxes, except Delacroix's, and his would not bear a competition with Milton's garden of Eden. It is but justice to Mr. Delacroix, however, to say that the works of art which have been exhibited at his garden have not been inferior to anything of the kind ever seen in America. Literary Institution.-Columbia College is a respectable literary institution, and has professors in the different branches of science. LONGWORTH'S DIRECTORY FOR 1805.
