New YORK, Nav Is.

The City Hotel, like a Phenix, to
use a very novel and beautiful figure,
is rapidly rising from its ashes, and is
assuming an appearance of greater
beauty and soaring to grander height,
than before the late conhagration. In
palmer prose, carpenters, masons, &c.
are actively at work repairing that
building, and adding another story to
the lofty pile. In few weeks, the
well known and well esteemed estab.
lishment will be better able than ever
to accommodate the sojourners in this
busy metropolis. -Ere. Post.

Every body has read of the beauti-

Of Pera, and Constantinople. 1t is to
this tree they owe their beauty. II is
not worth while to go into minute
description of it. 1t is sufficient to say,
that it is the most appropriate tree for
grave yards; and, as the question has
been agitated in some of our papers,
how our grave yards should be orna-
mented, | send these seeds. The tree
is an evergreen; the top of beautiful
elongated conical form. 1t grows to a
goodly size, and of an enormous height,
as thick as they can stand; and may
be propagated from cuttings as big

The Turn Ou.-The carpenters
Turnout still continues. This MORN

in procession, bearing a banner with
the following inscription: "The Jour-
neymen House Carpenters of the City
Of New York demand twelve shillings
ST. so day, as just remuneration
of their labor. United we stand-di-
vlded we fall" The number in pro-
cession was about 400. In general,
they had the appearance of respectable
men. We understand that carpenters
are arriving very freely from the coun-
try, and that many contractors are a.
Bile to go on with their business as
usual. The work on the City Hotel,
which has been interrupted by the

as we have understood. from 100 to $50

II is further said that Secretary Nc

Ii is further said that three individuals,
whose names are pretty we'll known IN

II has the sanction OF the President, and
that the memorials and prescription list
have been laid before the President, and

The whole transaction is disreputable to

be some excuse Tor the agents. as they
may have thought that their own safety
