Massif se-ritiug ; I have been here a fortiii.tht to.
Morrow ; our passage was fifty-seven dayf. A Alsip.
from Liverpool, with passengers (the :ann.°, from
port to pots (New York), was only twenty•Sbroe,
days! The influx of etradgers from all parts. 8 in-'
credible ; in five days before our arrival, there were
2,5(X) landed here ; and since that period, scarce a
day elapses without arrivals ; this hour a brig from
Sunderland is come iu. This east multitude causes
houses and lodgings to he scarce and dear; there err
now 1975 houses beading, and ground hill oat for
thousauds more; the main street of New York is
laid out at thirteen miles' leugth ; the island is little
more than fifteen miles long. The business doing
here is amazing: Hull is an infant to it ; this port, in
my opinion, will soon erliple any in England. The tide
of emigra'ion sets strongly to the west of the Al.
I !Penny's. This place is dear, compared to many
others ; I bought the best ribs of beef at 5,1, mutton
is ass; fish is cheap and very good ; I was offered a
lobster weighing eighteen pounds, for half a driller
There are three very good markets, the vegetablini
not cheap; fruit very reasonable, a large nielisp, may
be had for 31.; here are the best spptes I ever.aie ;
the Otos are wild, and in my opinion, not 'excel-
lent ; spirits are very cheep, wine moderate. It will
give you some idea of the place, when I tell you
there are 1.500 grocery stores, all of which sell spi-
rits, wine, *c. The entrance to New York, after
passing Sandy Hook, is very picturesque; the butte.
ries up the Hirer are formidable; a new one at the
entrance, is ter red hot shot, and even with the
water's edge. Governor's Island; commanding the
city, is pretty, and strongly fortified. The 7.1 lying
here (the Washington) is a very fine vessel. "Lhe
steanarigate is of- frightful construction. Opposite
to where I am is a village on Long Istmed,called
Brooklyn, from which to the city, across the' fast
river, are two boats, one steam, the other worked by
horses, constantly plying; the River, abort .*.smile
wide, is passed in five minutes, they stop ten, and
then pass across again—this is continued all the
day."
