population is in great measure Irish, with con
siderable number Of negroes. The Fourteenth

We turn with decided pleasure to the Fifteenth
Ward by far the cleanest and freest from
Of any other Ward, or Of any equal portion OF the
inhabited part ofthe City From Amity to Twelfth
st-a space Of more than half the Ward-there
are but two inhabited cellars, one at 80 Tenth 81
clean" and one at 20 Clnton-place "very clean.
The greater portion of the Easements are in the
streets Of the Eighth and Fourteenth Wards
which run a block or two into the lower side OF the
Fifteenth There is only enc dirty got above
Rleecker" and that is in Twelfth-st. where, We
believe. a number OF colored persons resde-in al

,un,ber in one room is j. at 81 Houston St. largest

entitled to any very special credit for its enviab
freedom from foul Easements, rear barracks, an'
dirty streets.
