dences TO be Erected Ia the Fashionable
Avenues-Thc New Tompksns Market.
In previous articles We have given sketches of the
principle edfces to be constructed in the lower part
Of the city, and we will now proceed to detail few
of the changes that are contemplated up town.
NEW HOTELS
The large hotel of Mr. Enos, on the site Of the
Hipodrome, we have already mentioned. There are
| two others about to he erected in Broadway, of
which rs yet no account has been given. Capt.
talikts are by this time convinced that the
practice OF building monster hotels has been over
dOue, a. the travelling public prefer the quiet
eutOf-the way houses, where there b not much
parade, and where families can 1--we comfortably as
wei as cbeaply, which they cannot do In toe large
houses. Merchants, who visit the city ON business
do not always find it nent ~ be at their hotels
ut certain hours for their meals, aud visit thOse
private hotels where comfortable rooms Can DO pro
cured vt mO1erste prices, WI b refectory attach
e0, ~ which meals can ne procured vt any hour,

THE FASHIONABLE AVENUES.
The notoritty hat attaches to the Fifth avenue as
the fashionable quarter Of New York, mas had lhe
effect Of enhancing prices unduy IN all that part of
the city. Incredible sums are paid for lots on Muir
ray Hill' aud all the neighborlqg property nss in
creased corresp0ndingy. The lot On the corner of
Fifth avenue and Thirty eighth street. AZ ~ 1870 feet,
was recently bought by j. H. Burton for $50 OOO aud
70 BY 100, lots In the cross str ets, between Fifth
avenue and Madison avenue, readily bring S. 900
ana $4,000. From the contracts now out IL Is evi.
dent that all the vacant lots beOS Fortieth street
and between sixth and MAIDS u avenues will be
built upon before next spring, aud all that part OF
the city will be wilderness OF beautiful aud costly
private residences. As general thing thvse new
houses will have brown stone fronts with an occs-
sonal brick house with marble or brown stone trim
miDgs. ........
We learn that at least one large owner of Fifth
avenue properly purposes 10 erect Q marble front
house, and tnere may he Others in contemplation 1t
II pOseib Q that white marble may become FASH
ioDabe shortly Ms brOsn stone nov Is. 1t woald be
y lar more Snowy ma'erll to use, and on the score
Of elegance would be quite as unexceprionable.
From recent developenent. taere Is reason TO sup.
pose that Filth avenue mag lose he prestige that
eoxl
arcsLanes, Vt New York. This distino iOn, which Az
has he here loiore has bad the ELECT Of bsaging
into the street . Get OF vulgar Smiths and J5neses
upstate, with whom the descendants Of the old
knlckerbockers AID "our best society" will not af
6ate. These people have oongn all che choice lots
in the market, and the con-equebce has been tnat
the creme de la creme ef New York society have
eeen casting about Tor cher quarters, and nave
finally settled down upon Madison avenue as being
Oest suited 10 tbeir purposes; ce tain IL is that
Dumser OF very fine buildings are going up under
