Dsoelrs. Stores. A

Thus we see that whilst 735 stores out of o05 have
been put up in the first six wards no person has had
occasion to build solitary stable, from which we
may infer that instead of any horse and carriage
establishments having been set up during the past
year in that quarter great many have been set down
and Sold Thirtysix out of as stables erected during
the year have been put in three wards-the 7th, 18th
end 10th. Those in the 7th are principally the sta
bles of carmen who work along the East River Those
in the 18th and 10th the stables OF arstocrats "a
two story brick stables and 10 are wooden ones:
Of the churches built, the Ii have been distributed
through III wards none having been erected IN the
LIST, 3D. or 9Th because they too full of churches
already. Of these, are stone, and are brick
churches.

The Theatre and halls of justice, it is well known
are in the 9th ward and the erection of the latter will
greatly increase the value of property IN that neigh
borhood. The dstilery is in the 7th and the Brewe-
ny in the 18th, and those probably will do nothing
but karin to every one in their vicinity.
