.Nelc Stale Tobacco Warehouse. The new

gan's wharf, is now nearly completed. 1t is a
very fine building, and has been constructed of
superior materials throughout. Its size is 1871
feet long by l03 feet wide, and three stories
high. The brick of which it is built is the best
sand brick moulded; and the timber Is of the
finest sort, the joists, posts, and girders being
wrought out of the heart of yellow pine, clear
of sap. The top is to be finished with cupo-
la to afford additional light. The roofing is of
the first quality of American slate. 1t has been
constructed by Messls. Jas. Curey s Son, mas
ter builders, under the superintendent of the
senior partner of the firm as Architect, and re-
fleets great credit on all connected with the
work. The erection Of this building has been
rendered necessary from the quantity of Tobac-
co yearly brought to this city for inspections;
and, it is contemplated that, large as this
