Th. Astor Library.


The following, from the New York Pest,
will be Of interest to sll that are curious
about great libraries:
The Astor Library is indebted TO two Of
the Astor family for its present state Of
sdvancemsnt-to John Jacob Astor for its
original foundation, and TO William B.
Asior for the gift Of tract Of land ad-
joining and the erection of additional
buildings opened in 1858, and just doub-
ling the size Of the library secommoda-
tions. The whole edi6ce is now capable Of
containing two hundred thousand volumes.
These ten years Of the life Of this insti-
tuition have sufised to render it one OF the
leading features of our city, and its sd-
vantages have been fully appreciated By
students and literary men, who fpd thei elm
most rare and valuable works OF reference
which would otherwise be quite unattsin-
able.
Nor is It only 10 literary men that this
library is &c useful. Politicians ezhume
from It's shelves the statistics which they
parade go effectively in their public
rpseches. lawyers find in its sicoEes
toreoedents," to which sometimes the mest
eopious law-librsries give no clue. In the
Stephens wife poisoning case, few years
spo, the works Of Orfila were subponaed
fiom the Astor Library, and the volumes
were actually brought into court and
quoted from by the counsel for the prose-
ou'ion, this singular testimony having no
small influence in producing the verdict
subsequently rendered.
Teachers Of languages also haunt the As
tor Library. Strong minded women make
meteoric visits; and ladies who are not
strong-minded come TO look at pictures and
to rustle msgnifesntly through the stilli
scholastic corridors.
Statistics have been kept by the libra
risas, which show that the political events
Of the country have 3 direct influence
upon the reading Of the people, Thus,
since the war with It's military and none.
tsry aspects has broken out, there is 0
vastly increased demand for works treat
ing Of military and financial matters.
During the Burns festival, few years
age, no author was as much read as the
ploughman poet; and when Irving died his
works were in demand to a much greater
extent than usual; and it was the same
with Prescott Humboldt and Msoaulay.
tlSo,D as a well-uuslifed writer about this
institution has felicitously observed, San
experienced and careful observer may sit
within the alcoves Of the Astor Library
and feel the pulse Of the nation"

Rise Of RenI E.tate InNe,v York.

The croakers in Europe will be more
startled ct the recent rapid advance in
real estate than OF any other event in our
country since the rebellion commenced.
In confirmation of this AK your read
ers 70 turn their atteuiion to the district
embraced by Broadway, Murray street,
West Broadway aud Canal street. Take
sll the stores within that boundary, end
fhe advance will be found, on every
store, upon average, to be over fifty
per cent. during the past year-thst
Is, take The average Of current rents
on tbs fret day Of January, 1868, and they
will be found on the first day of January,
1854, over fifty per cent. more than they
were twelve months since. When l Say
the advance has been fifty per cent, it
must be understood that no less advance
can be estimated. On the other hand,
there is no doubt the advance has been
greater.
As is only two or three years since
nay Of our most sagaeious and largest
holders Of property in this vicinity were
under great depression in consequence Of
80 many stores being vacant, and those
rented not bringing much over half the
former rents, the first question that
arises is, what has 80 suddenly advanced
the above property A sufficient answer
would be that New York is now becoming
the banking house OF this country, and
soon win be that oftbe whole world. Here
is the evidence Of sll this: Ask any Of
your readers who are retired merchants,
to walk through the district above
described and they will tell you that not
only are sll the business men strangers,
bat that nine.tenths of the firms are for
eign merchants, embracing every nation,
and many firms representing soEe Of the
oldest aud most respectable houses from
ell paris Of Europe. In addition to this, g
large proportion Of the most promineni
houses in Roston, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and several other cities have already es
tablished and are now seeking stores
which are difficult to find, even at thesr
advanced rents, in order to place branohe

which they have discovered, with their usu
al sagaeity, is the market for the sale o
