Brooklyn, city, p-t., and capital of Kings co., N. Y., 146 s. Albany, 226 W. Situated on the w. end of Long Island, opposite the lower part of the city of New York. Population, 1810, 4,402; 1820, 7,175; 1830, 15,396; 1810, 36,233. Employed in commerce, 1,673; in manufactures and trades 4,666; navigating the ocean, 978; do. canals and rivers, 302; learned professions and engineers, 307. It is the second place in population in the state, and the seventh in the United States. It is separated from New York by an arm of the ocean, three fourths of a mile wide, generally denominated the East River, which connects the Bay of New York with Long Island Sound. The ground on which the city is built was originally quite uneven, and though much has been done by grading, to destroy its unevenness of surface, yet, happily, nature has presented too great obstacles to be overcome, and many of the natural beauties of its situation remain, to a considerable extent, unimpaired. The vicinity of the city of New York presents no finer situations than are to be found on the high grounds of Brooklyn. The city is regularly laid out. The streets, with the exception of Fulton-street, are generally straight, 60 feet wide, and cross each other at right angles. Some of the streets have a greater width. Fulton-st., the principal thoroughfare, though crooked, has been widened to an ample width; the old houses with which it was formerly lined near the ferry, have been replaced by rows of lofty brick buildings, and present an entrance to the city quite as imposing as any single entrance to the city of New York. Brooklyn is one of the finest built cities, of its extent, in the United States. Its beautiful situation, good air, and excellent water, have made it a favorite place of residence to many persons who do business in New York, as it is nearer to the centre of business in that city, than residences in the upper parts of the city of New York; and have given it a most rapid growth. The increase of population from 1830 to 1840 was 20,917. Brooklyn is connected with New York by 4 steam ferries, on each of which several commodious boats continually run. The ferry from Fulton-street in Brooklyn, to Fulton-street in New York, is 731 yards wide; that from Main-street, Brooklyn, to Catharine-street, New York, is 736 yards; the Jackson-street, or Navy Yard ferry, is 707 yards; the South ferry, from Atlantic-street, Brooklyn, to Whitehall, New York, is about 1,300 yards wide. The time of crossing is generally from 4 to 5 minutes. The city limits have the same intent as the former town of Brooklyn, having an irregular shape, 6 miles long, and 1 broad, at its greatest breadth. This large territory has been laid out into blocks and streets, and the corner posts fixed by commissioners, appointed by the legislature; but the thickly settled parts are confined to a small part of this territory. Brooklyn was chartered as a city in 1831. It is divided into 9 wards, and is governed by a Mayor and Common Council. A new city hall, projected a number of years since, on a magnificent plan, to be built of white marble, but badly located, has never progressed beyond the basement story, and is altogether beyond the present wants of the city. The Common Council and city offices are at present well accommodated at the City Buildings, (formerly Apprentices' Library,) purchased for the purpose, in the centre of business. The jail is a handsome building of freestone, and the county clerk's office is a fire-proof brick edifice. There are in the city 30 churches — 7 Presbyterian, 7 Episcopal, 3 Dutch Reformed, 2 Baptist, 7 Methodist, 2 Roman Catholic, 1 Unitarian, and 1 Friends'. There are 3 banks in Brooklyn, with an aggregate capital of $1,000,000, besides a Savings bank. There are 3 insurance companies, with a total capital of $452,000. The Lyceum in Washington-street, is a fine granite building, with a spacious lecture room. The city library of 3,000 volumes, has a fine reading room, and is open daily. The Hamilton Literary Association, composed of young men, is a flourishing institution, and supports, annually, an able course of lectures, which are numerously attended. There were in 1840, 5 for. commercial houses, cap. $109,500; 154 retail stores, cap. $353,000; several lumber yards, cap. $40,000; products of the dairy $197,000, machinery $182,000, hats and caps $102,000, 1 tannery, manufacture of leather $162,600, 5 distilleries, 1 brewery, cap. $357,000; paints, drugs, &c, cap. $322,000; 1 glass house, employing 100 persons, capital $15,000; 4 rope walks, cap. $65,000; 3 printing offices, 1 daily, 2 weekly, 1 semi-weekly newspapers. Capital in manufac. $1,386,500. 19 acad. 1,121 students, 38 schools, 4,683 scholars. The United States' Navy Yard, situated on Wallabout Bay, covers 40 acres of ground, enclosed by a brick wall on the land side, and contains 2 large ship houses, 7 extensive timber sheds built of brick, and several workshops, offices for the officers, and extensive storehouses. A dry dock will soon be constructed at this place. Connected with the Navy Yard, is the United States Naval Lyceum, a flourishing institution, which has a valuable library and museum. The Naval Hospital occupies a commanding eminence, half a mile e. of the Navy Yard, and has a large building surrounded by 33 acres of cultivated ground, enclosed by a brick wall. The Greenwood Cemetery is in the s. part of Brooklyn, has 200 acres of land, of a variety of surface, and in its higher parts, commands an extensive and beautiful view of the harbor and city of New York, of the surrounding country, and of the Atlantic ocean. It is designed to embellish the grounds, and to make it an ornament to the city. The "Atlantic Dock Company" are constructing a large basin, within Red Hook Point, which will contain 421 acres, and the outside pier of which will extend 3,000 feet, fronting on Buttermilk channel, and the depth of which will accomodate the largest ships, the whole estimated to cost $624,527. This additional wharf-room is rendered necessary, by the crowded state of the docks at New York. At the foot of Brooklyn Heights, the finest water is obtained from wells and reservoirs for the supply of the shipping of New York harbor In August, 1776, this part of Long Island became the seat of the Revolutionary war, and the remains of the fortifications then thrown up, are still to be seen in Brooklyn; though many of them have been obliterated in the regulation of streets. At the close of the Revolutionary war, there were but 56 houses in the place. Near the Navy Yard at the Wallabout, are interred the remains of 11,000 Americans, who perished in the British prison ships, moored in the bay, during the Revolutionary war
