Goods are annually sold here to the amount of upwards of a million sterling--a sum which I should imagine was hardly exceeded by any establishment of a similar nature except Morison's in London, which, I believe, averages one and a half million.

Some idea of the size of this store may be formed, from the fact that four hundred gas burners are required to light it up.

Mr.Stewart, I was informed, was educated for a more intellectual career than the keeper of a store, on however grand a scale; but circumstances induced him to change his pursuits, and as he started with scarce any capital, the success which has attended him in business cannot but make one regret that the world has lost the benefit which might have been anticipated from the same energy and ability, if it had been applied to subjects of a higher class.
I will now offer a few observations on the state of the streets.

The assertion has been made by some writer--I really know not who--that New York is one of the dirtiest places in the world.

To this I must give a most unqualified denial.
