+. PRICE OF MEAr.--Two causes are as
signed, in our exchanges for the high
price of cattle and meat. First, the
greatly increased consumption of meat
in The West in consequence of the Rail-
roads and other improvements in pro-
gress there. Secondly the immense
Western,droyes which now find their
way to more profitable market on tho
shores of the Pacific, instead Of com.
ing to New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, &C., as heretofore. 1t is long
journey, but the expense for provender,
on the way is next to nothing, and when
they reach California they find ready
sale for American sheep ut from sig TO

or more per yoke, for cows at SIS to

or even $500 for Devons or other iino

OUR WHEELING CORRESPONDENCE.
WHEELING, May 1G, 1854.

Editors Of lie Mirror;
In looking over your
paper of Saturday last, see that you
express somc doubt as to the fact that
Dr.. Watson Carr, formerly of your
town, had become proprietor OF the
Mcclure House in this city. Well II
has been talked of for some weeks, but
was not settled until Friday last, when
the bargain was concluded. The Dr.
has gone to work in earnest to- fix up
the splendid house, aud he tells me that
it will be open for the reception ct visit
tors tomorrow. He will mako this one
oflhe best Of Western Hotels. No man
is better qualified or better adapted Tor
the opening of such house, and now w
that it has fallen into good hands, twill
be the house Of the city. Its gratifying
to the citizens of Wheeling to know
that this house, the finest buildingin the
city, will he in the hands Of so compe-
tent a proprietor.
There is nothing ofmuch importance
going on about the city at present.
Business is tolerably brisk. The river
is in good navigable condition, and the
steamboats, are as lively as usual.
The Passenger Depot is still being
improved by new and handsome orna-
mental work, and it viii be fine edilice
when finished.
Van Amburg's Menagerie, on board
the Floating Palace, was here yester.
day. As the Palace ucared the city,
very good music was made upon a chime
Of bells on top of it. The Palace is
handsome affair, and the exhibition
the finest have ever seen. The collec.
ton ofanimals was unusually large, and
looked well. The trained animals per-
formed admirably; and brought forth
loud aud long cheers from an admiring
crowd. There is but one opinion con.
corning the exhibition, and that is that
is "a good one."
At the election held on the inst. to
take vote of the citizens as to their
willingness to authorize the City Coun.
Gil to subscribe s25O,00O to the capital
stock of the Hempield Railroad Com
pany, for the purpose Of laying the
track between Washington, Pa, and this
city, resulted favorably to the applica.
ton of the Company. The majority
was large, and the Council will sub
scribe The money on the part oflhe city,
which will lead to an ea,ly completion
Of the work.
Yours, &c. @ w. DIS.

AIonOngahela and Ravenswood Railroad.

The interest and enthusiasm manifested
along the line ofthe proposed Railroad
is beginning to exhibit itselfin such deci.
del manner that there is reason to be-
lieve the road will be speedily made
if Philadelphia and that portion Of Ohio
interested in the load, will lend their
means for its construction. Of this we
understand, assurances have been given:
Meetings have been held in the various
counties along The line and large dele.
cations appointed 10 attend a Railroad
Convention which is tomeetin Fairmons
on the 18th proximo. A meeting was
held in Lewis on Monday last, aud del
ega,es appointed. A call for meeting
in Harrison is made in the CIarkshurg
papers for to-day. This is the proper
spirit. Take hold with energy and new
er let go until the iron-horse goes snort
ing through to Letart Falls. Il will be
bright day for Western Va. ifthis road
should be made, aud bright day, too,
will it be for the county Of Lewis as the
road will pass through or near this
place, while its construction would open,
up for competition between the cities Of
Philadelphia and Baltimore the immense.
trade of large and fertile portion Of
country. 1t sounds oddly enough to a
Virginian to hear of such Improvements
being made by foreign capital, but when
it is recollectcd that this portion Of the
State has appealed at home in vain. her
people are forced to seek foreign aid to
obtain an outlet 10 trade that will en-
rich kingdom. The Board Of Trade
of Philadelphia know the value of the
prize.
We sincerely hope there will be full
attendance of delegates at Fairmont on.
the 18th of June and that the result of
their deliberations may ensureIthe speedy
construction of the contemplated road
