to assume quite respectable appearance. On all of
them, good and substantial buildings in course of
erection which will add very much to that section Of
the city Those destroyed by the fire dclapidated
wooden houses and served for little else than to render
1t nuisance; while those in course Of construction
will be an ornament. On the opposite side of the
street toothe southeast cornerthe work of tearing
down several other wooden buildings has been com
menced and that will soon be beauted by sub
stantial and respectable buildings. There several
other sections of the Bowery which might be greatly
improved If the small and miserable looking wooden
houses which the ground displaced, and
good buildings put in their stead Thebuildings which
will be erected hereafter will be of different character
from those which, for years past have been with
such great haste and apparent economy. After the
first Of June next, the law will DO rigdly enforced
walls of less thickness than foot under penalty Of
fine and Imprisonment. The enforcement Of the law
will have most excellent effect; for while the houses
