rRlEND DENNEIT,-
Allow me to give you Ga peep at matters and
things" in this Cis-Alleghanian metropolis in these
times Of ups and downs, changes, alterations, re-
vo!u,ions, novelties, wonders, sensations, and ex-
elements In this great and growing world of ours.
Cincinnati, with the rest of the empire, is moving
onward to celebrity, in population, wealth, and
prosperity. The past season has been one of great
addition 10 her, IN every sense OF the term II is
judged by those who are ranked among her know
ing ones IN such matters, that she contains from
eight TO nine thousand more inhabitants than she
did on the first OF January of the current year, and
those are OF permanent holseholders and their la
miles There have been about 100 buildings
erected here since the first of March last (and
at this date scarce vacant tenement can be found
IN the corporation, the major part OF which are edi
ces OF the first order, built oil brick and free stone,
one OF which deserves passing notice. The en-
terprislng house OF j. Strader IL Co, (of mail
steamboat notorlety,l have erected cotton fac.
tory and calico printing establishment, on Third
street, near The corner at Elm; which, together
with It's appendases, IS u most magnificent affair.
II is OF brick, hive stories high, two hundred feet
by one hundred, propelled by steam power; and
when its peculiarly favorable local advantages,
their remarkable facilities for procuring the raw
materials, &c., are taken into considerations il is
believed that Its enterprlslng proprietors will be
enabled to compete successfully with those won
der-workiDg establishments of the kind in the
eastern region of the Union. Business here is on
her high-heeled shoes in every department of lie
from the Dutch wood sawyer, who pockets his dol
lar and halt for his days toll, to the mammoth
pork packer, who dispatches his S000lusty porkers
per week.
Speaking of pork packing, allow me 10 say that
the season is now considered but two-thirds over;
and there have already been slaughtered here be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 sturdy grunters. Rivers
OF lard OIL are being rendered daily, while sides,
shoulders, and hams are piled here and there like
little mountains Verly,is not our Queen city richly
entitled 10 the significant appeaIon of "Porko-
DOtLlCal caul0On pr as av her
else, has ceased to boil. The cock and the coon,
those political levahans, whose late deadly strug-
glea and grapples for ascendancy were such as to
make the empire quake and reel from centre TO
circumference, have now become so docile and
fraternal from mutual exhaustion. that they lie
coolly down together; and il is thought that lit
tie child may with safety venture to lead them;
and there IS little urchln hereabouts, christened
I" Native American" who Is now actually ven
turing to fasten his tiny reins upon the MONSTERS
and intends, when he comes to the years of discre
ton, to dispatch the wretches
And, friend Bennett, believe me when tell you
that the Herald, during the canvass of the charter
election last spring in the city of New York, did
more to give spirit to this same little "Native
American" than every other journal in the Union.
The Herald told him s. he could succeed by fol-
lowing It's directions in that city, and he did suc-
coed and it gave confidence, energy, and ac-
uviy to the lli,le fellow, which, we think herea-
bouts, is destined to speed him on, conquering and
to cocquer, unt he reigns lord Of the ascendant
| frequently hear him, now-a.d days. crying in The
streets, "Oh! that could get Bennett OF the He
raid, to enlist IN my cause; for should consider II
tantamount to guaranty OF succfss" He has
two journals in this city, enthusiastically engaged
IN his favor, and they are working wonders among
the natives; but he thinks they lack Benefits two
edged sword and s'edge hammer, to do the work
efficiently. Another little matter OF interest in this
city at this time, is deep toned feeling that exists
among the ecclesiastical departments OF the church
Both Proiestants and Catholics, are struggling for
and claiming the ascendancy in numbers and in
Htnna hIDh mad d..
on both sdes and both sides telling their
tales to the world, through the medium of the
press. Bat there can be no question, blu. what his
holiness the Pope can number, in real devout fol-
lowers, two to one over all other creeds combn-
ed having, as is estimated, at least 20 900 devoted
followers, In population OF rs 600 or $4,000 in
this city The religious thermometer ranges high;
and some are making uniavorable predictions as
to the result And this, TOOLS sin hung upon the
horns of the Herald, in consequence Of the late
hostiities between Bennett and that redoubtablc
political divine, Bishop Hughes. So you see the
Herald must be precedent inasmuch as il is tax en-
as kind OF religious and political text book,
through The length and breadth, hghth and depth,
OF this excltable empire. Our literary and scient-
TIC institutions are In an uncommon fiourshiDg
condition The Cincinnati and the Woodard
Colleges, have fine classes, numbering something
like three hundred each at present, both
conducted by highly talented, c9mpeiernt and
situated in this city, hasreached enviable niche
among the Escuapian schools Of the Union. The
interchangeable exerons of It's able and popular facul
ty, have rendered the facilities for acquiring medl-
cal education full and desirable, that students
are resortng here from all sections of the Union
west OF the mountains. The class at present in at
tendance numbers between two and three hundred,
all highly delighted with the tathery attentions OF
the professors, and the admirable advantages rem
dered them to become familiar with the healing
art. The highly talented and Gel brated Professor
of Chemistry, John Isock, is deservedly esteemed
the master spirit OF the institution.
Truly, yours, ID. V. B.

SAN JUAN BAuTrsrA DE PUERTO Rico. Papers
up to the 2Oth ultmo, from San Juan Bautista de
Puerto Rico, Commonly called Porto Rico,) in
form us that some important changes have taken
place very recently in the Custom House regua-
ons there, especially with regard to the exporta-
ton OF cattle, IN which, as our readers aware,
that island abounds. These new regulations ap-
Dear to be part of system of measures originated
by the Count Mirasol, the Captain GENERALLY in
an enlightened and promising effort to promote the
prosperity OF the island, and at the same time, as
lending that end to protect and advance the in
terests of foreign commerce. And it is really
subject of congratuaton to our ancient ally Spain,
as well as to those engaged in commercial inter-
course with this island, that two functionaries ex-
ercispg such large powers as do the Captain Gene
raj and the Intendan, should have set so earnestly
to work in so important field as that Of the Gus
tom House, both as to the imposition OF duties and
the practical administration OF the laws.
We have thought IL not undressing TO the COM
merclal public, to subjoin an abstract of two of
these regulations promulgated the I'd utmo-
They are as folows:-
| From and after the 10th OF the present month OF No
veber the expectation OF cattle from this island shall be
free from every species Of duties.
Agents, whether national subjects foreigners for
the purchase OF cattle she'll receive their passports gratis
from the authorities Of the island to traverse parts
may be convenient for them for the purpose making
their contracts and they shall have every facility and
every protection which they may solicit from the govern
men and which may be within its competency with re-
