and it is supposed that two three years Will be
required for its completion. 4 number of capi.
talists are interested in it, and whatever taste
can devise and mohey can purchase will be law
ished upon the new house. 1t is to be half as
large again and thrice as seegant as the Filth
| Avenue; is to be built Of white marble, and to
contain over FIVE hundred ROOMS, all Of which
are to be furnished on sly of magnfcence
hitherto unknown even in this extravagant coun-
try.
A number of modern Improvements are to be
! introduced, among them private breakfast and
dining rooms, suits Of apartments for families,
where they can live with entire privacy; baths
of the Oriental and Roman sort, where luxury is
to be exhausted in designs and appliances. In
addition to this, the guests are to be favored
with lighthouses, fountains and delightful gar
den in the centre of the hotel which If half that is
! promised be carried out, will be splendid and
| elegantsat the same time, and be miracle ot
