* This splendid building is one of the finest orna- ments of Philadelphia. It excites the attention, and commands the admiration of our citizens and of stran- gers, while it reflects credit upon the enterprising stock- holders, as well as upon the architect who planned it. The Exchange occupies a lot of ground bounded by Third, Walnut and Dock streets. The first floor is divided off into the Post Office, a Coffee Room and Bar Room, Stock Broker's Offices, and several offices of In- surance Companies. The Reading Room, on the second floor, will be very spacious and convenient. It is to be under the superintendence of J. M. Sanderson, Esq. a gentleman well calculated for the situation, he having for ten or twelve years past been the proprietor of an establishment of the same kind in this city,

PRISONS.
There are at present in the city and county three prisons-one at the corner of Sixth and Walnut streets, for the reception of convicts-one at the south-west corner of Arch and Broad streets, for debtors and vagrants.
These two, however, are shortly to be taken down, and the spacious building now nearly completed, in Moyamensing, to be substituted in their place. The third is the Eastern Penitentiary, on Cherry Hill, and the most worthy of notice, not only on account of its
3

ALMS HOUSE.
architecture and arrangement, but for the admirable discipline which has been adopted to reclaim its in- inates.
Surrounded by massy walls, stands the building for the confinement of convicts, from the centre of which diverge the cells, which are pierced throughout their whole length by galleries. A rotunda in the centre, occupied by the superintendent, enables him to over- look the whole interior of the prison. Small yards are attached to each cell, where the prisoners are permitted to enjoy the air and exercise for two hours every day. No communication is allowed between the convicts, nor are strangers permitted to see or visit them. Each occupies his separate cell, which contains an iron frame for his bed, a loom or other implements for the labour which has been assigned him, a chair, table, and every appliance to ensure the utmost, possible cleanliness. Such as can read are furnished with a Bible, while every Sunday a chaplain preaches in the gallery, and is distinctly heard by the inmates of every cell. By means of flues, an equal and sufficient heat is kept up in the coldest weather. Although this system is a new experiment in prison discipline, it already promises to be attended with the happiest results. The criminal in silence and solitude, has an opportunity of looking back upon the errors which have thus degraded him, and comes back into the world doubly armed to resist the temptations which have misled him.
ALMS HOUSE.
The present Alms House is situated in Spruce street, on the south side, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, embracing the whole square. It is a plain brick build-
