FIRST WARD .- Considerable improvements have been made in opening and grading streets. The abutments for a new iron bridge over Rock creek have been erected. The several lime kilos have been in full operation during the year. The paving of the road north of the President's house and 15th street, in front of the Department of State and Treasury building, is completed. The grading south of the President's house has been continued and the grounds enclosed. Many vessels of from eighty to one hundred and twenty-five tons, bringing anthracite coal, &c., have unloaded at 17th street wharf, near the locks.
SECOND WARD .- Very considerable and important improvements have been made in opening and grading streets. 13th street, from New York avenue to I st., has been graded, and the culvert extended ; 10th, from K to N streets, Vermont avenue from I to M, and Ohio avenue, from 12th to 15th, party opened ; about 400 running feet of brick and 1,100 stone flagways laid ; also some paving of alleys. The Foundry Methodist church has been enlarged and beautifully in- proved in the interior ; a large and handsome four-story brick Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum has been erected in lieu of the old one pulled

down ; a portion of the canal within the ward deepened and arch-drains and cespools made ; the abutments for an iron bridge at 12th street partly up.
THIRD WARD .- Various improvements in opening, grading, and gravelling streets, and paving alleys, and laying of brick and flag footways ; the Patent Office Building extended on 7th street, of marble and solid brick work, and now elevated to the level of the principal floor.
FOURTH WARD .- Several new streets opened, particularly New York avenue, from 7th to North Capitol street, and North H from Massachusetts avenue to the turnpike gate. The City Hall, which has stood so long in a rough state, is now nearly completed on its south front, according to its original design, and has a grand appear- ance ; an extension of the two wings is much wanted for city and United States purposes.
FIFTH WARD. - Some improvement on streets and footways has been made, and the public spaces enclosed ..
SIXTH WARD .- Footways have been laid on the east front of squares 845, 846, 847, and half of 877, about 1,500 running feet, and some minor improvements. Much has been done in the Navy Yard- a foundry, &e. The vessels built in this yard (according to the state- ment of the late Commodore Patterson) have cost less and run longer without requiring repairs, than those built at any other yard, which was verified by a report of the Navy Commissioners in February, 1841.
SEVENTH WARD .- Some improvements have been made ; 4} street has been gravelled from Maryland avenue to the penitentiary ; the Smithsonian building carried up and covered in, and much of the interior nearly finished and fitted for use ; the towers will be carried on in 1850, when the whole will make an imposing appearance ; the Washington Monument has been carried up 35 feet of marble work above the base, making the whole height 52 feet above ground, and will doubtless progress rapidly in future, as the materials will be hoisted by the steam engine now put in operation.
