New CUsroM-H oUsEs.-The stupendous
structure at New Orleans, which was com.
menced in 1918, has steadily advanced, at a
gross expenditure of one and half million of
dollars, and is now about two.thirds finished.
The progress has appeared slow, but when it
is cOnsd cred that it will comprise about two
acres under roof, that progress has been quite
as rapid as so gigantic an undertaking would
admit of. The building, whom finished, will
include the post Offices, land offices, United
States courts, and all the Offices and storage
rooms required for the revenue service. The
collectors room, in the centre of the building,
will be superb apartment, of pure white
marble, ll6 by 80 feet, surmounted by mar
BILE dome resting on a peristyle of rich Corin-
THAN columns, fourteen in number, also Of
white marble; the whole surmounted by q
spacious lantern, springing to the height Of
about l36 feet from the ground, and filing
the room with IN ample body of rich, mellow
light.
Among the other custom houses soon to be
erected, is one at Petersburg, Va. 1t was de-
signed by A. B. Young, Esq, of this city, and
the lower story is to be allotted to the post
office.
