old and worn out topic, the slavery question, to
the utter disregard of pressing public business

DEATH AMONG THE OLD kNICKERBoCKERs.--Dur-
ing the last few months death has been carrying
of a number of old Knickerbockers with great ra-
pidity, in this metropolis We have recorded the
decease OF John Jacob Astor, Jacob Harvey, Henry
Brevoort, and four or five others, aged and highly
respectable citizens, all of whom have gone off from
this sublunary scene within the last few months
The most recent were Jacob Harvey and Henry
Brevoor, both of them citizens of great respectable
lily and worth, and possessed of some peculiar cha
racteristics which endeared them to their friends
and acquaintance. Jacob Harvey, in his life time,
was well known as a character peculiarly be-
nevolent, urbane, jovial, kind, and generous
He died not SO rich in the goods of this
world as some of his contemporaries, though
equally rich in good name and reputation
Henry Brevoort is the most recent among
these deaths. He was a descendant of the
old Knickerbocker stock, and died wealthy
He was man of fine taste in painting, literature,
and intellectual pursuits of every kind. He owned
large property in the fashionable part of the
city, where he erected splendid house, elegantly
adorned and furnished in the Italian style; for he
was quite connoiss eur in the arts and man of
fine taste. His property has been estimated at
over million, part of which came by marriage
with lady from the South, said to have been of
immense wealth The chief foundation, how
ever, of his fortune, consisted in several acres
of ground, in the very heart of the most
fashionable part of the city In ancient times
and here IN New York fifty or a hundred years
ago times of great antiquity-his parents resd-
ed on this spot, which was their farm and paterna
inheritance, and here it is said they raised vegea-
bles and other products, which they daily carried
for sale to the market. This is highly honorable
parentage; but the race of steady, solid, wealthy
people, who stood with their wagons at the market
and sold fresh and wholesome butter, fowls, meat,
eggs, &C., is long since extinct amongst US, and
we get these things now, none improved, at the
tenth or eleventh hand. Mr.. Brevoort also added
to the lands he inherited from his father, by the
purchase of other lots in the neighborhood. The
original farm consisted of only about eleven acres
very small quantity of land for a farmland yet an
immense and almost invaluable quantity of land
in the heart of great city like ours
