Pittsburgh is RAPIDLY increasing IN popuia>

of mercantile enterprise. She owes much to
her natural advantages, for her present state OF
improvement; but it was not until the location
Of the Pennsylvania canal that her progress has

last year, advanced in price from SSto 10 per
thousand, and this season there is great ae-
mand for them. /, is stated in an article which
was recently published in one OF our city pa
pers, that 247 houses are building at presen' IN
this place. The principal part oil these are
brick, there being an ordinance in force Prohi-
biting the erection of wooden buildings WITHIN
certain limits. The improvement Is not con
fined 10 the city, but is equally visible IN the
adjacent villages, some OF which have dou-
blrd their population in the last two years
In Allegheny town, which is Immediately OPP
poslie this place, on the west side oil the AIie-
ghapy river, there have been erected within one

which there have beer LAID several foundations.

Theological Seminary, and on another very
extensive cotton fac tory, probably the largest III

you with further particulars, suthclent having
been said to give you some idea OF the impor'
lance of the place. There is every reason TO
believe, that her advancement hereafter will be
greater than it has heretofore been, when we
take into consideration the impulse that will be
given to her growth by the construction OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the canal
which is to connect The waters OF the Ohio ca
nal with those of the Pennsylvania canal. BY
the latter she will receive great part OF the
trade Of The Ohio Canal which will be impor-
tanl o her pros peri,y; and of the advantages
which will be derived from the latter, need
not speak-il is probable you are fully sensible
that they will BIZ great. A vast region OF coun
try depends on Pittsburg for marker; and it
is 10 the "Emporiom Of the West" as she has
been emphatlcally styled, that great propor>
ton of the merchants Of the west resort for
their merchandise.
