the Public Hospital, with 111 apartments and 2000 beds; the Cannon 

 Foundry ; the great steam Rolling Mill ; the Porcelain Manufactory. The 

 Church of St. Borromseus in the suburb Wieden, built in the Italian style, 

 with domes, portals, paintings, and the monument of Collin, next to the 

 Church of St. Stephen, is the most beautiful in Vienna. 



The River Wien is spanned by two stone bridges, one plank, and one 

 suspension bridge ; also by one suspension and several simple wooden 

 footpaths ; over the Wiener Donau Canal are six bridges, among them 

 three suspension bridges ; over the Danube, which converts the Leopold- 

 stadt into an island, are several wooden yoke bridges. The southern 

 suburbs are provided with water by the aqueduct from Hiittendorf to 

 Vienna, which feeds twelve w^ells, as also by the new Emperor Ferdinand's 

 aqueduct, which draws up the water of the Danube at JNursdorf, by means 

 of seven steam engines ; in addition to these sources of supply, there are 

 forty Artesian wells in different parts of the city. 



The principal promenades are : l,the Imperial Garden, with a menagerie 

 and hothouses 568 feet long, containing a conservatory 72 feet long ; 2, the 

 Prater and the Augarten in the Leopoldstadt ; 3, the Volksgarten, with a 

 temple containing a statue of Theseus, by Canova ; 4, the Gardens of 

 Princes Schwarzenberg and Liechtenstein, 



Vienna has two railroad depots : one in the north, on the island of 

 Leopoldstadt, not far from the Praterstern, from which the Emperor Fer- 

 dinand's Northern Railroad takes its origin ; and one in the south, not far 

 from the Belvedere line, from which the roads go out to Gloggnitz and 

 Bruck.
