HOW THE MERCHANTS’ BKOMANGE [8 BRING AL- TERED—THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE OFFICES— APPEARANCE OF THK ROTUNDA—OMLY THE WARE> HOUSE DEPARTMENT YET REMOVED, BTC. The building formorly known as the Merchants’ Ea- change has been undergoing the alterations necessary for its opcupation as the Custom House since last spring. ‘The changes to be made have been fouad more numerous than were at first deemed, necessary, and the delay hes consequently been greater than it was expected it would be. ‘The Exchange building i@ well ted for the purpose ts which it will fa future be devoted, the roome being con- veniently arranged an@ well lighted. Like the building now used as « Custom Howe, it has a rotunda, in which the principal part of the business will be transacted. This room ts much larger and more convenient then the rotunda in the Custom fou se, aad, since It bag been altered in accordance with the plaas of the architect and engineer in charge of the work, pre- ents a very Gne appearance. A large dome forms the roof of this pertion of the building; in it is placed a sky - light sufoieatly large to furnish light to the desks below. ‘The walls and roof have beea cleaned, and look much brighter than heretofore. Below the skylight, in tho @entre of the room, an iron railing hae besa erected, which is neat in design, and frem its arrangement will be very conventent for beth clerks and importers. Insideof this railing, which is placed in « circle eround the glass which admits light to the floor below, are to be placed the desks of some of tho clerks of the Collector's office. In front of each desk a portion of the railing may be raised or owered, #o that during office hours business may be transacted, and after such hours the clerks (aside be un- molested in the performance of their office duties. Out- ido of the railing a very peat and haadsome counter of white marble ts attached for the convenience of those transacting business with the olerke inside. A railing ‘and countor similar to that we have desoribed are placed around the clroumference of the room. The arrangement of the dewks will be greatiy superior to that tm the old Duilding. Next (0 the rotunda, on the oaat side of the Dutlding, workmen are engaged in fitting @ room to be occupied as the naval office, The room ia con ‘voniontof access, Above this room, oue similar fa size and appearance will be ocoupled by the warchouse de- partment of the same office. A passage way, running parnilel with Wall street, separates this room from the one to be occupied by the auditor of (he navalomMice, A part of the furniture of these offices has been removed from the rooma in the old Custom House, to be cleaned And repaired before being placed in position ia the new apartments. None of the rooms thus far dosoribed are yet oooupied for business purposes. Tho warehouse department is the only one whowe buat. ness bas boon removed to the new building. The rooms coupled by it are im the back portion of the building, on the same floor as the rotunda, and also om the floer below. The apartments in the Exchange butlding, with the exeeption Of the rotunda, are rectangular in pe. The rooms to which the warchouse department has been transferred ‘are of this shape, and the desks ero necessarily arranged neingle line, In the old Custom House one large room fufficed fur the wants of the clerks of the department, and the desks were arranged in ciroular form. The old Arrangement was more convenient, but could not be fol- lowed at the Exchange. Some time must elapse before the entire business of the ether departments can be removed, though it Is believed that some portion of it will be transferred this week.
