We VIII commence with ''the RIDGE which be-
gan at Warren street, parallel with the North
river, and ended near where the corner of Canal
and Laight street now is. In the same line after
passing LiSpenard's creek, (this creek commenced
at the Collect pond, and run through Lispenard's
meadows to the North river) we come to Rich
mond bill, which was once thirty feet higher than
its present level This hill has been noted as the
site of The residence of Col Aaron Burr. The
residence was originally built for Abraham Mortiers
a wealthy gentleman, PaymasterG General to the
British Colonial forces. During the Revolution
it was occupied by General Washington as his
head quarters, and at other times by one of the
British Generals commanding in New York
During the session of the first Congress, under
the present Constitution it was occupied by JOHN
Adams Vice President of the United States.
A high bill was dug down between where An
thong and Canal streets now cross Broadway. 1t
was near thirty feet above the present level. On
this hill, where Franklin street now is on the
east side of Broadway, stood water basin, built
before the Revolution, for supplying the city with
water. A large well was dug near where White
street now crosses Elm street. This well was
from 80 to 40 feet span, and was to have had a
steam engine to force the water up the hill into
the basin. For the purpose of carrying this pro-
ject into execution, the corporation issued bills
similar to the following:

dition says this project failed in consequence of
the breaking out Of the Revolutionary War.
On the west side of Broadway, and nearly OPP
posite to the water basin, stood an old FORT built
of earth, which had been used during the Revo-
lutlonary war. Outside of this fort, on the slope
of the hill, were buried many of the American
prisoners of war, who had died in the old sugar
house in Liberty street, (then Crown street,) or
in the North Dutch Church, in William street,
both of which used as prisons by the British.
The next hih to be described was the highest
and steepest on the south end of the island, and
was called Bunkers Hill It stood where now is
the junction of Grand Orange and Elm streets,
on the spot now occupied by Centre Market 1t

one hundred feet higher than the present level of

to where 4th, street now is.
There were also hills at Corlears Hook, some
sixty feet high, all Of which have been dug down.
Corlears Hook, was originally called Nechtant by
the Indians and was doubtless from its locality a
favorite spot with them. There Van Corlear, who
was trumpeter at the fort under Van-Twiller had
laid out his little farm, which he sold to William
Beekman in 1852 for E750.
The head of Chatham street, at Chatham
\ square, where it joins the Bowery, although now
hill, has been cut down some twelve feet. Two
of hills in Broadway, between Chamber and
Broome streets, have been dug down to fill up the
intervening yallies; and the levelling system adopt

of the city.
