THE Pittsburgh Gazette says that it
is no exaggeratlon to say that the pop
n1ation OF that city and OF Allegheny
has doubled within the last six or eight
years, and that real estate situated
within their limits Is now dearer than
in any cities OF corresponding impor-
lance in the country. Rents are af-
frmed to be fifty per cent. higher than
in Philadelphia, and, except in special
localities, property. is higher than in
New York! 1t was supposed during
the winter, that owing to the excessive
prices for material and labor, that COM

aud an other gentleman, rode around
Liverpool In a carriage for three hours
and half at cost of only two dollars
In our currency. This economical lea-

very pleasantly. In his last letter he
records the following incident prior to
the landing OF Mr.. Peabody ut Queens
town:
"A very characteristic Incident took
place between Mr.. Peabody and the
committee OF Americans on the day he
babe us farewell, which deserves notice.
One OF their resolutions referred to the
fact that, whereas Smilhson and GiraTCi
had beqneathed their pTincely bene
factions to the care OF posterity,
Mr. Peabody bad enhanced the
value OF his example by. cour-
ageouRly becoming his own executor,
aud by giving his personal care to the
execution Of his splendid trust. When
this resolution was read to him he ask
ed that il might be read q second tune,
after which, with u winning courtesy
shall not soon forget, he said that he
would be greatly Obliged II the whole
passage could be stricken out OF the
proceedings. Whatever may be said
OF me- he added, and however Just
your abstract view may be, yet even

riss Of the freight business as it Is man
sged and carried on over the different
railroads. For instance, We saw yes
tsrday a bin Of Iading that attended
shipment OF fourth class freight from
Boston to Wheeling at the rate OF IS
eants per hundred. Can the reader i'm
sgins the devious route by which this
shipment fonud its way to Wheeling ? |
The natural course would have been by |
steamer from Boston TO Baltimore, and
from the latter city here by rail. But
the freight did not come that way. II
took, first, the Vermont Central rail-
road away up to ogdensburg, on Lake
OutsTio; thenceit came across that lake
and across Lake Erie to Cleveland. and
from that city here by the Cleveland
and Pittsburgh iafIrOad- And for IS
cents per hundred 1t was set down at
the door Of the eOnsiguee without any
expense 70 him for drayage. Had the
same freight come by the natural and
direct route. that is by Baltimore, 1t
wonld have cost cents per hundred
additional, and also the charges for
drayass from the depot here to the
warehouse. SO that "a saving of some
on or cents per hundred was affected
by shipping away round by Canada In
stead Of straight across the country.
We saw also another bill Of ladIng
that receipted for fourth class ship
lnsnt from Baltimore via Harrisburg
and Pittsburgh to Wheeling, al the rate
oEs5 cents, delivered at the door Of the
eonsignee, without expense of drayage.
This was q round about route, but it
was cheaper than the natural and di-
rect one over the Baltimore road, even
at the same rate per hundred, for the
drayage Was saved. And in this con-
uecsiOn We may state that the same
class Of freight is brought here from
Philadelphia for the same rate per
hundred that is charged from Baltimore.
The rate for -four from Chicago to
Wheeling is 20 cents per barrel to Bal
timore 1t is only % cents additional.
But 1.-THE wheat were grown, ground,
and shipped from here, the published
tariff calls for 81 30 per barrel, dis.
elimination Of Sl,1O, or whereabouts,
against the home article. To Cumber-
land from Wheeling the rate is so cents.
And 1t is said that shippers here who
know their business can effect a special
rate. say at the same price, clear
through to Baltimore. But, as we said,
published tariff calls for 81, 80 IN the
absence OF any such special under
stsuding.
We have before US the Circulars of
two Baltimore Merchandise brokers
tor the 18th instant. The rate quoted |
therein for fourth class freight from
Baltimore to Wheeling is IS cents; to |
Parkersburg IS cents; to Cincinnati IS |
