Bowers, who is assiduously attentive to his important duty. The governor is Mr. Warner. It con- tains a tread-mill and house of correction. Passing on, beyond theJail, we come to a re- markably neat and comfortable-lo...oking row of uniform brick alms houses, erected by the Trus- tees of the Harpur-Charity for aged and de- cayed persons whose claims are supposed to he of rather a superior kind to that of those persons who occupy the houses in Harpur- Street. These, which are familiarly denom- inated Tfie Best and have already been men- tioned as THE NEW ALMS HOUSES, are twenty in number ; ten being generally ap- propriated formale, and ten for female inmates. They stand full facing the south, towards the distant river, over which they command a very pleasing view ; the other side of the road being quite open to the fields.
