GROWTH OF CIrIEs.-An article in the Vest
an JownoL speaking of the growth of cities in
the last ten years, says that of the four great
eastern cities, New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, and Boston, the increase of population
has been greater in Philadelphia and Baltimore,
accordingly, than in New York, and that the
business of Boston has increased faster than
the population; but it is supposed that this is
owing in part to the number Of railroads in the
vicinity which enables many doing business in
the city to reside at some distance from it. OF
the western cities, Pttsburg has increased at
the rate of about three hundred per cent, Gin
cinnati about one hundred and fifty per cent,
and st. Louis four hundred per cent. New
Orleans has increased less in the same time
than any other city in the Union

THE LAIRD OF GLENARR.
"A BALLAD.
~ by JOEL AUSTIN.
she was born in a cot-in castle she died.
But her being was clouded and lone,
Since she stood at the altar Ears naughty bride,
And broke the heart truly her
Young Edwy was fond--but her Edwy was poor,
While the Laird of Glenarr a knight;
Young Edwy could ope buta cottagers door,
While the Laird offered splendor and might.
Soon he weared of her he had welded to grace ~.
The tourney, the banquet, and show,
When the charm Of content had forsaken her face,
And her footsteps feeble and slow.
How she longed for the cot the wd-mountain cliff,
And the sunny food dancing along;
How she thought of each time in the favorte skiff
With her Edwy, so stalwart and strong.
The Laird of Glenarr, then, vengeful and proud
AS he marked the pale cheek of his bride;
By the cross at the hilt Of his fachion he vowed
To her lover should evil betide "-'
And scarce had the sum- in its vapor of wrath
Gone down from the gloom of the sky,
Ere the white stars looked out the murdersained
strath* ra8
Where the form of her Edwy did lie.
Her brow was as blanched and as cold az the snow
On the cloud-piercing peaks of the north,
When the story told land the weight of the blow
Came as dread as the avalanche forth
Faint Autumn was strewing its honors around,
And bare were the boughs of the birch, s..
When the torches filed on through the battle-ground,
And they laid her to rest in the Church!

JUST DEcIsIoY.--In a suit just tried before
Judge Lynch, of New York, which was brought
by one of the crew of the American ship CYAN
guard, J" to recover damages against the captain
and mate for fogging the plaintiff on the pas
sage from Liverpool to New York, the court
charged that whatever the provocation-and
there was none in proof-the act of foggng a
seaman on board an American vessel was in
directyiolation of statute of the United States,
passed September 2Sth, 1850, by which it is
provided "thnt fogging in the navy, and on
board vessels Of commerce, be, and the same is
hereby, abolished from and after the passage of
said act" lie held that the statute subjected
the defendants to respond to the plaintiff in
damages as fully as if no authority had ever
been given by a law to a captain to iiliict fog
ging on the seamen comprising his crew. Judg-
ment was then given against the mate for ten
dollars and against the captain for one hundred
and fifty dollars, for violation of the statute
referred to.

HoosIC MOUNTAIN TUNNEL.-The most stu
pendous project in the tunnel line which has
ever been seriously contemplated in this coun-
try, is the perforation of the Hoosic Mountain
near North Adams, Mass, for the passage of
the trains of the Troy and Boston Railroad
The length of the proposed tunnel is "a, 100
feet, or about four milesan three quarters, and
the estimated cost Sl,94S,557, Such is the
confguration of the mountain, that it is said no
shaft can be sunk less than 800 feet in depth
Consequently it win only be possible to work at
two points simultaneously, and on this suppo-
sition it is calculated that 1856 days, or more
than four years, will be necessary for the COM
pletion of the undertaking. The Massachu-
setts Senate have passed q law, which is now
before the House, to loan to the Troy and Bos-
ton Railroad Company $4,000, 900 of State
bonds, on condition that certain amounts OF
money shall be expended by the company pre-.
vious to the advance Of the several instalment:
of the loan from time to time, which expend
lures are to exceed the amount of said advances
until the entire railroad, with the exception o
the tunnel, shall be completed; but on this event
the entire amount of stock loaned is to be ad
vanced to the company. The Boston 4docrtise,
calculates that, instead of four or five years the
construction of the tunnel would occupy twenty
or thirty years, and that its cost would i'm.
| mensely exceed that above stated.
