means of ascertaining, with any degree of accuracy, the amount of export from this city, it would exhibit a much larger amount, and more satisfactory evidence of the extent of our trade.-[ Western Journal. The progress and present condition of the Queen City of the West, are thus briefly stated in a letter to the N Y. Evening Post: water. "Cincinnati is situated on the Ohio, 494 miles from its mouth, and 455 miles from Pittsburg. It extends three miles along the river, and two back from the The city is regularly laid out. Many of the streets are adorned by fine edifices, and shaded by beantiful trees. The population of Cincinnati in 1820 was 10.000; in 1830, 24,831; in 1840, 46,338; and at the present time it is more than 100,000. The city contains 72 Churches, an Astronomical Observatory, 3 Colleges, 4 Medical Schools, 1 Law School, and numerous Female Seminaries and Classical Schools. 13 daily, 25 weekly, and 4 monthly periodicals are published here. There are in Cincinnati several extensive Foundries, numerous Cotton and Woollen Factories, and manufactories of almost every kind. But the bu siness in which Cincinnati excels every other place is Pork-packing: 487,049 hogs were packed here during the last year-412,000 of which were killed in the city. Supposing their average weight was 200 lbs., their total weight would be nearly 100,000,000 lbs., which, if equally distributed, would give every man, woman, and child in the United States, each five pounds of pork. Just back of the city lies a range of hills, which are crowned by two beautiful villages, Mount Auburn, and Walnut Hills Being about 200 or 300 feet above Cincinnati, the situation of these villages is exceedingly beautiful. They overlook the city, and the river for several miles above and below Cincinnati, and Newport and Covington on the opposite shore, in Kentucky. Walnut Hills is the seat of a flourishing Theological Seminary of the New School Presbyterian Church, the President of which is the venerable Lyman Beecher, D. D. Mount Auburn is principally composed of the residences of men doing business in the city. The cottages and dwellings in this village are, many of them, very elegant buildings. The grounds about them are highly adorned, though there is very little of shrubbery that is merely ornamental. The useful and the beautiful are combined in the pear, the peach, the plum, the apple, and the vine." COMMERCE OF CINCINNATI.
