Some idea may be formed of the rapid growth
of western cities, by the fact that in Cincinnati
city built upon spot where, less than half cen
tury ago, naught was heard but the terrific cry ol
the wild beasts of the forest, the yell of the not
less wild and savage " red mcn"-the Post Master
adverlists list of upwards of tiue hundred and
fifty letters, remaining IN the post Office on the Cd
Of August. The appearance of the advertising de
partment of the newspapers which we receive from
that city, presents an air OF business that would
nuke one suppose centuries had elapsed since its
settle ment.


Since writing the above, we have seen in the
Providence Journal, the following interesting facts,
contained in recent letter from an intelligent cit-
zen Of Cincinnat formerly a resident in proyi-
dence.


Cincinnati, Ohio.-We have after all but an


imperfect idea Of the vast resources that are CON
s,anty developing in this country, and OF the magic
effects of ha, spiiit of enterprise which i'll few
short years has erected hourishing cities in the
midst Of pathiess forests, and established immense
marts OF trade on the margins of inaccessible ri
vers whose surface but short time since ruffied on


y by the wild fowl and the otter, or the occasional
gliding of the Indian canoe, is now ploughed by
large RATS of commerce, and ma iesc steam boats
laden with the products OF ore of the most fertile
regions in the world. And yet we are by no means
sensible of the great activity in business which per-
vades the towns and cities OF the West. Who will
not be struck by statement of the fact that about
two months since there we're building on the stocks


in Cincinnati, Ohio, eleren steam boats of from one
to four hundred tons burden, besides three smaller
ones that had just been launched, all destined for the
navigation of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers?


The year previous, eleven steam boats were built
at the same place and put in operation. In add-
ton to this there is more building going on IN the
city than at any former period. TO show the sp-
rt with which This i. conducted we need only state
the fact that large block Of wooden buildings
having been destroyed by fire the fourth of June,
a handsome and substantial block of brick was
erected on the same site and completed by the 10th
Of July"


Fire in Nezo York.-Aboit o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing fire broke out in the of No. o1 Murray street,
and destroyed ten twelve buildings that and Green
