INTRODUCTION.
This work has been undertaken, from a be- lief that something of the kind is wanted, by citizens and strangers, as a book of reference, and guide to the numerous business concerns of this extensive city. Philadelphia as it iSf comprises every information which may be required, and which, it is believed, cannot be obtained elsewhere without much loss of time.
It occupies a place hitherto unattempted, and forms a complete manual for the merchant and trHyt^lier, presenting a statistical view of the city, with t'lfe most imp.);i£:nt and useful details for the iiore frequent subjects of inquiry. Great labour has been bestowed in collecting and arranging the materials, and the general hcc^jiacy of \be work can be depended on. Omissions must, of course, be expected, in a first attempt ; and the publisher will be thankful to gentlemen who will point out any errors, which will be corrected in future edi- tions.

DESCRIPTION OF PHILADELPHIA.
Phii-adelphia, the second city in size in the United States, stands between the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, five miles above tlieir junction, in lat. 39° 57' N. and long. 75° 10' 59" from Greenwich, and is about 120 miles distant from the Atlantic ocean by the course of the river. The city v^'as founded by William Penn, in the year 1682. The original design of the pro- prietor would have 'Covered an area of more than twelve square miles, but by his charter of 1701, the plot of the city was contracted and declared to be bounded by the two rivers, an extent of about two miles east and west, and on the north and south by Vine and Cedar streets, an extent of about one mile. But the progress of im- provements, long since broke beyond these limited boundaries, and now we behold the city compactly built along the Delaware nearly four miles, though for municipal purposes, the boundaries of the city proper remain unaltered. The city is divided into the follow- ing districts : — the corporations of the city of Phila- delphia, of the Northern Liberties, Kensington, Spring Garden, Southwark and Moyamensing. The whole number of streets in the city and districts is about six hundred, varying much in width. Arch street being sixty feet. Market street one hundred. Broad street one hundred and thirteen, while others are much narrower.

The Srlect CnuvrU is composed of twelve inemlKTs, from citizens f|ualified to serve as senators of this com- nionwealth. 'I'liey arc cliosen for tlirce years, are divided into tlirce classes, and vacate their seats in rotation, so tliat ono tiiird may be chosen every year.
PUBLIC SQUARES.
The various public squares, reserved in the orig^inal plan of the city, evince the foresight and judjrmeiit of William Pcnn. Tiicy are not only conducive to health, by promotinjof a free circulation of air, l)ut are ])lea^ant places for recreation to tlie citizens, during tlie heat of the summer.
Indcprndmce Stptare, which extends from C'hesnut street to Walnut street, and from Fifth to Sixth streets, is tastefully laid out in gravelled walks, delightfully shaded by indiircnous and exotic trees, anil enclosed by a substantial iron railing. It is thrown dik-u to the public as a promenade, and is a place of general resort. This square is 398 feet from east to west, and 470 feet from north to south.
Wdshinfrinn Sijitarf, extends from Sixth street to Washington strci-t, laO feet, and from WaJnut street to Locust street, 'AH) feet. This s(juare wa.s formerly Potter's Field, but is now laid out in delightful walks, and is plant(>d with a varitty of iM-autilul trees. It is Hurrouniled by a row of flourisliirig Limlen trees, planted on a line witli the curbstone of the street, and is also u place of general resort.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 13
Franklin Square lies between Race and Vine streets, and Sixth and Franklin streets. Its extent from north to south is 632 feet, and from east to west 600 feet. It is also handsomely laid out in gravelled walks, planted with trees, and thrown open to the public.
Penn Square, formerly called Centre Square, is at the intersection of Broad and High streets. This space, though formerly entire, was in 1828, by order of Coun- cils, cut into four instict square, which have not yet been thrown open as public walks.
Logan Square extends from Race to Vine street, and from Schuylkill Fifth street, westward. This square is not 3'^et improved.
Rittenhouse Square, is of the same dimensions as Logan Square, and lies between Walnut and Ann sts. extending westward from Schuylkill Fifth street, be- yond Schuylkill Fomth street. Not yet improved.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The State House. — The circumstance of the Con- gress of tlie United States having held its deliberations within these walls, and the Declaration of Indepen- dence having been first publicly read from the steps, July 4, 1776, gives an interest to this building. It was commenced in the year 1729, and finished in 1735, and though externally plain, has a venerable appear- ance. The whole original expense was not quite six thousand pounds. The steeple by which it was for- merly surmounted was taken down about the close of the revolution, but in 1828, a new one was erected, in order to restore as nearly as practicable this venerable
bnikliiiij to it« oricinal fi'iiturrs. It stiiuls on C'hcsiiut street, between FiHIi and Sixth strecti^, and tJinuirh for- merly isoIat(ui, the whole sijuaro is now occupietl by public buildings.
Bank of the United States. — Tliis splendid l)uildinjjf, which is conijwsed externally of marble, stands on C'hcsnut street, between Fourth and Fit^h street>-. The foundation sloiie was laid April 19, 1819, and tlic buildincr was completed hi Ausrust, 1824. It is mo- delled after the Parthenon at Athens.
Bank of Penui^yhuinia. — This buildinjj has fre- quently been pronounced the ehastcst speeinien of Grecian architecture in the country. The desip-n is taken from the temple of ."Minerva at Athens. 'I'ho whole building^ is composed of Pennsylvania marble. The first stone was laid in April, 1799, and the whole finished in IHOI. It stands on fc^jcond .street, between Chesnut and Wahmt streets.
The Erchmirre, when completed will be amonp;' the most splendid edifices in the city. It is composed of white marble, and stands at the junction of Dock and Third streets. The Post Olfice is in tJiis building.
The Arcade stands on Cliesnut street, west of Sixth street, lOU feet front, and extends north l.'iO feet to ('arjM'ntcr street. 'I'lie first story is occupied as stores and slio]is, the second as f)|]iees, and the third by IVide's Museum of Natural ( "nriositics. The cellars are oeeu- pied as refectories. This buildinij which is of white marble, was erected in lH*2(>-'27.

Pennsylvania Hospital^ occupies an entire square be- tween Spruce and Pine streets, and Eightli and Ninth streets, containing about four acres. The institution was fomidcd in 1750, and in 1755 the east wing of the present commodious building was erected, since which many additions have been made. In the yard fronting on Pine street, is a leaden statue bronzed of William Penn, on a marble pedestal, who is represented holding a scroll, having part of the first sentence of the "Charter of Privileges," inscribed on it. This statue vi^as presented by John Penn, of London, to the Hospital, in the year 1801.

Theatres. — There are three theatres in Philadelphia: the Chesnut street, the Wahiut street, and the Arch street. 'I'hat in Chesnut street is near the eorncr of SixtJi street. It is calculated to acconnnodate more than 2000 persons. The present buihhnjr was erected in 1822.

The Water iro?-A-.«?.— Of all her public works, Phila- dcl|ihia Ikls most rea.son to be proud of tlial by which the Schuylkill water has been introduced throufjhout the city. In 1797, a plan w;is adopted which was to form a reservoir on Uie east bank of tlic Schuylkill, from which water was to be Ihrmvn by n .steam en- gine into u tujuiel, and tiienct turned toonulJitr cn^'ine

house, at the centre of the city, where it was to be again raised by a second engine into a reservoir, from wliich it was to be distributed in pipes through the city. Ten years experience proved that a sufficient supply could not be obtained by this method, accord- ingly, in 1811, a new reservoir was created, and two large engines constructed, which, however, proved inadequate to supply the demand, although the annual expenses were enormous. In 1819, the project of damming the Schuylkill, and erecting the works at Fair Mount, was commenced, the whole cost of which was in 1824, $432,512, and the entire amount expended on the successive operation, $1,443,585. The con- sumption in the summer months is about 3,000,000 gallons for 24 hours, and the iron pipes through which the water is conveyed to the city and districts, make together an extent of about sixty miles. The sum annually paid for the use of the water is upwards of 60,000 dollars, and the experience of years has shown that the power is sufficient to raise many times as much w^ater as the city can possibly require for its consumption.*

The Columbia Rail Road enters the city at the in- tersection of Broad and Callowhill streets, and its . place of crossing the Schuylkill is about a mile and a
* On the 1st of January, 1833, there were in the city and liberties seventy-two and a half miles of Iron pipes. The receipts for water rent the present year, amount to $77,567 75. Expenditures of work- ing the machinery, $1600 — salaries, «fcc. $3500.

The Philadelphia and Norristorrn Rail Road enters tlic city at the intersection of Ninth and Buttonwood Btreets. It is completed to the upj)er part of German- town. In the summer of 1832, pleasure cars were j)laced upon it, with horse power, since which time locomotive engines have been employed. The cars run six or eight times a day, and the ride is as delight- ful as it is novel.
Gray^s Ferry^ renowned as tlie junketing place of our forefathers — where our grandfathers and grand- mothers danced and sung — where the scenery has a right pleasant smack of the antique about it, and where the floating bridge still swings as it did in the days of the revolution. To reach this spot, the tourist passes by one road the Naval Asylum and the Arsenal; by the other, the new Ahns House, all worth a visit Beyond the ferry we follow the Darby road, lined with the redoubts pre|)ared for the reception of the English during the late war ; turn otf opi)ositc the lilue Bell to Penrose's Ferry, making a pleajsajit ride of almost fiflcen miles.

WARDS. 19
The Wissahiccon is a volume of itself, unfortunately a sealed volume to ninety -nine in a hundred of the Philadelphians. There are several ways of getting- at it; the stout, vigorous pedestrian, who, with his crabstick in hand, cares little about a good ramble, should make his way to Chesnut Hill, stretch beyond, to the intersection of the road with the creek, and there take the foot-path on the east bank. He has now about seven miles down the stream to the Schuylkill, and a walk unequalled for interest. A constant suc- cession of waterfalls, rocks, precipices, rustic bridges, picturesque mills, meadows and streams present them- selves. Pic-nic parties should leave their horses at the Falls of Schuylkill, and take the Wissahiccon at the mouth. The lovers of the picturesque, when fairly in the spot, will soon learn the geography ; the study will amply repay them.

* This splendid building is one of the finest orna- ments of Philadelphia. It excites the attention, and commands the admiration of our citizens and of stran- gers, while it reflects credit upon the enterprising stock- holders, as well as upon the architect who planned it. The Exchange occupies a lot of ground bounded by Third, Walnut and Dock streets. The first floor is divided off into the Post Office, a Coffee Room and Bar Room, Stock Broker's Offices, and several offices of In- surance Companies. The Reading Room, on the second floor, will be very spacious and convenient. It is to be under the superintendence of J. M. Sanderson, Esq. a gentleman well calculated for the situation, he having for ten or twelve years past been the proprietor of an establishment of the same kind in this city,

PRISONS.
There are at present in the city and county three prisons — one at the corner of Sixth and Walnut streets, for the reception of convicts — one at the south-west corner of Arch and Broad streets, for debtors and vagrants.
These two, however, are shortly to be taken down, and the spacious building now nearly completed, in Moyamensing, to be substituted in their place. The third is the Eastern Penitentiary, on Cherry Hill, and the most worthy of notice, not only on account of its
3
34 ALMS HOUSE.
iirchitccturc and arrangement, Init for the ndinirable discipline which has been adopted to reclaim its in- mates.
Surromidod by massy walls, stands the building for the confinement of convicts, from the centre of which diverge tlie cells, which arc pierced throughout their whole length by galleries. A rotunda in tlic centre, occupied by the superintendent, enables him to over- look the whole interior of the prison. Small yards are attached to each cell, where tlie prisoners are permitted to enjoy the air and exercise for two hours every day. No communication is allowed between the convicts, nor are strangers permitted to see or visit them. Each occupies liis separate cell, which contains an iron frame for his bed, a loom or other implements for tlie labour which has been assigned him, a chair, table, ai\d (very appliance to ensure tlie utmost possible cleanliness. Such as can read arc furnisiied with a Bible, while every Sunday a chaplain preaches in the gallery, and is distinctly heard by the inmates of every cell. By means of flues, an equal and sufficient heat is kept up in the coldest weather. Although this system is a new experiment in prison discij)linc, it already promises to be attended with the happiest results. Tlic criminal in silence and solitude, has an opiKirtunity of looking back upon the errors which have thus degraded him, and comes back into the world doubly armed to resist the temptations which liavc misled him.
ALMS HOUSE.
The present Alms House is situated in Spruce street, on the south side, between Tentli and F\!rvrnth streets, embracing the whole square. It is a plain brick build-

Tliis building will be taken down in a few years, and the inmates removed to the spacious and beautiful buildings now being erected on the opposite side of the river Schuylkill, when will be comiected with the esta- blishment, agricultural employment, as well as other occupations conducive to health, and to the reduction of pauperism.

Many of the works in these various depots are scarce, and not easily piocured at the present time. The library of the University contains a donation from the unfor- tunate Louis XVL, made during the Revolutionary war, all of which were printed at the royal printing office, and treat of mathematics, natural history, &,c. The library of the Academy of Fine Arts contains a dona- tion from Bonaparte. The libraries of the Hospital and Alms House, contain the best works on medicine, sur- gery, and the sciences ; while those of the Academy of Natural Sciences and the Museum, are devoted to na- tural history and travels. The library of St. Augustine's Church, contains, we believe, the only complete copy of the " Fathers" in this country.

SECOND BRIGADE.
The Second Brigade consists of the whole Militia and Volunteer force of the county ; but tliere is notliing to prohibit the Volunteer corps, either of the city or county, from attaching themselves to either Brigade.-— As independent corps, this right belongs to them.
The Second Brigade is commanded by Gen. John D. Goodwin. Staff. — William O. Cline.
There are several fine Regiments, mostly consisting of country troops, attached to this brigade ; but, as the general distance of their respective locations is so far from the city, we seldom, except upon occasions of great public excitement, are gratified with a visit from them.- That part of the Brigade which resides within the city limits, consists of
Cavalry. Washington Cavalry, Captain Barras. Penn Township Troop, Captain Nixon.
Light Infantry.
Governor's Guards, Captain White.

The Washington Rifle corps, and several others whose names we are unable to learn, are but merging into existence.
Of the country part of this Brigade, that which has fallen particularly under our notice is the Holmesburg troop, solely commanded by Captain Breck. This may be considered as among the most superior of its kind within the limits of the state ; their strength being from

lit MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATIO.'V.
rHILADIXPniA AM) COLUMBIA RAIL ROAD.
This rail road, as originally designed, extends from Philadelphia to the town of Cflumbia, on the Susque- hannah river, and terniinatns at a point about thirteen miles below York Haven. The distance between these two places by the rail road is eighty-one and 3-'lth miles. Following the line of the road from the inter- Kcction of Vine and Proad streets, I'hiladclphia, for rather more than two and a half miles, you arrive at the foot of the Schuylkill inclined plane, which is about fiff}' feet above mean tide, on which level the road runs to this point. This plane is about two thousand si ven hundred feet in length, and lis elevation from base to summit is about on(; hundred and eighty fecL There is at the western extremity of the road another inclined plane at Columbia. This is near two thousand feet in lengtli, and has an elevation from foot to head of ninety feet. Stationary steam power will be resorted to, to overcome these acclivities. Tlic distance from tlie head of the plane at Philadclpliia to the head of that at Columbia, exceeds sevenly-scvcii miles, and in th»- whole of this distajice, the elevation will not exceed thirty feet to the mile, a degree of ascent overcome witli Uic ut- most facility by tlie aid of horse power alone, and tor purposes of rail road transporlatiun almost equlvaknt to a level. Th<- rverage ascent, iiovvevcr, does not much exceed twenty-five feet to the mile
The road is entirely graded, (he cuttings and em- bankments generally blight. The highest point on the

line is at " the Gap," about thirty miles from Columbia. This cut is about thirty^two feet deep. The bed of the road here is five hundred and sixty feet above mean tide, three hundred feet above the head of the plane at Schuylkill, and two hundred above that of Columbia.
This road has been located with a peculiar view to its adaptation to steam power for the purposes of trans, portations, and the shortest radius of curvature occur- ring any where on the line is about six hundred and thirty feet, being six degrees of curvature in a chord of sixty-six feet, and this most desirable end has been at- tained, with but slight cuttings and fillings.
The country through which the road winds its way is unsurpassed in interest and beauty. The whole line of the rail road, and the Lancaster turnpike pursuing the same course, and alternately crossing each other, is for many miles richly studded with magnificent and imposing mansions, delightful villas, substantial farm houses and capacious barns and granaries, and for 20 miles present to the enraptured gaze the appearance of one extensive and continuous village, the abode of healtli, industr}'^, and content, the home of the happy, the virtuous, and the frugal. But few towns of any consequence are passed in its route. Many streams, creeks, and rivulets are traversed by it by means of wooden structures, of the most substantial description, designed tastefully, placed judiciously, in their mechani- cal execution remarkable for their neatness, and well calculated for their durability and security. The Schuyl- kill is crossed by a splendid viaduct of stone, 980 feet long.
The most remarkable structures of timber are over the Great and Little Conestoga, near Lancaster. The one is 1400 hundred feet in length, and 34 in breadth,

resting on 10 piers — the oilier is about 1000 tletlongf. They are entirely completed. Tlio roud passes directly throug'h the city of Lancaster, and from thence to its point of destination, Columbia, on the Susquehannah. Columbia is a tliriving and tlourisliing town, witli about 2500 inhabiUints.
The original estimated cost of this work was S~,29 7, 1 20, being about !?-2S,173 per mile. From some departure, however, from the desiiiiiod na thod of construction, the aanount cxj)ended will, upon its completion, much ex- ceed this amount, and it would not be hazarding much to say that the final cost of tlie eighty-tliree and 1-ltli miles between Philadelphia and Columbia, will reach $3,000,000.
From Philadelphia westward, 22 miles of tlie road are completed and in constant use. At al>out this dis- tance the Pennsylvania rail road, as this is frequently called, " par excellence," receives in the South Valley Hill, two miles west of Paoli, the West Chester Kail Road. This road commences at the flourishing borough of West Chester, containing about 2000 inhabiUints. The distance from Ihat place to its intersection with the Pennsylvania Road is about ten miles.
