houses, and erecting magnificent stores in their
places is now the order Of the day. But the great
est spirit of improvement prevails in Liberty street
between Broadway and Greenwich street. This part
Of the street is undergoing extensive improvements
it is being widened IL feetl2 feet on the south side
and on the north. Therefore all the dwelling
houses and stores have been taken down. the own
ers intending 10 erect handsome stores in their
places. Some of our leading dry goods merchants
are erecting these stores for their own business ;
thus they are determined to mako this handsome

the fayorite material for fronts which will show
great contrast 10 those Of Dey street, which are all
brown stone fronts. We understand that the Jersey
City ferry will be removed from the foot Of Cort-
landt to the foot Of this street, which has larger
slip and better accommodations than that Of the
Cortlandt street slip.
In Murray and Barclay streets the improvements
are numerous and expensive. These streets are now
becoming business portion of this great metropo-
lis. A great number of the leading mercantile
houses of the city are moving from the First ward
into this ward, and the Improvements are so numer-
GUS that it promises ere long to become one Of the
finest wards in the lower part Of the city II will
be seen by the table that over one million dollars
are invested in building, in this ward.
