We presume this speech will he read with interest by our citizens. x Tlffl IBOS TiIADE. Including the Pacific Railway, which mustero long he built, WO have now projected and in pro cess of construction in the United Statos, about 13,000 miles of Railroad. ...... Calculating 100 tamper mile, single track, and it trill require 1,800,000 Una of iron rail to : complete.’these roads; which, at SSU per ton, makesan outlay .of $65,000,000; and that too for rails of single track roads alone. But many of these roads will be ■’double tracks, besides.’ turnouts &o. Then follows a vast outlay for cars, locomotives, and other iron works about such roads.: And it may he fairly estimated that all the iron for them will cost not less than $150,000,000. Ocqannnd inland steamers, iron ships, manu faoturing machinery,'iron buddings, and all the other innumerable uses to which iron ia applied will require 3B much more; making an aggregate auto demandfors3oo,ooo,ooo worth of iron. Be dsides which, r mony other railways will he charter ed and undertaken every year, to keep up a steady demand to that amount fof many years to come } if not to a constantly increasing amount. In Europe there is on equally large demand for iron for similar purposes. The Yonkers Herald, in view of these facts, osks, whero is all the iron"ta‘come from!. Whose ore-beds, furnaces, forges, and rolling mills are to be pushed -with -dally and nightly aotivity, and whose industry and skill are to reap the profits of iron garbing and gearing these vast agencies for developing! .the commerce; of the world? England and the. United States stand foremast ' for the bid—England first, by reason of her cap-, ital and ago, and her longer enterprise in the mino and at the forge ; the United States second, and rapidly -gaining on her great rival- Eng- 1 land and the United States.now furnish and me prepared to, furnish more iron than all the rest of the-world; bat it would seem that all theirs with all other resources, can scarcely meet the •demand of the railway, steamer and factory inter- ests or this wonderful ago. > . The -United Staterought to he independent of the world on tho score of Iron. She has oro ;beds of unsurpassed quantity .and quality,. scat tered all through her length and breadth. Site has ample coal mines to firo a million furnaces and forges if necessary, and she has abundant labor and shill to turn her ores into iron—the very best of iron. Bat it will be remembered that in Europe about the same number of miles of railway arc projected andin progress of construction; and an equal and .eyon greater demand for iron for other uses,- Tho iron manufactured in Europe, then, will he principally required for European demand; . Comparatively asmall portion of it can bo ex ported to this country.. - If these data and figures are correct,• the Iron Trade and ■ iron: manufacturers of this country "have a continued and'sura demand before them for from 250 to $300,000,000 worth of their fibricks: and a demand that will require all; and more than all their capacity to supply fast enough. - The iron business of this country must be good and profitable at present prices, and must continue so for a long time to come. Ho branch - of enterprise and industry, it seems to as, ever had more encouraging prospects. • It Trill be seen by the following, that the northern part of our State is soon to bo " open ed out” by railroads. The railroads below spo- Iten o f will form a line of roods from Hew Torfe city to the West, ranting about three hundred: and eighty miles across the northJiaif of Penn sylvania. , The Allegheny Valley Railroad will meet this line of,.roods at Ridgeway, and thus, will bo .opened a direot railroad rente from Pittsburgh to Hew York city. - Air Ida* Railroad from Cleveland to Blew ' alork«^f«W:PMjcct* Wet allnded to the Venango Railroad last week, iil connection withtho develandand Mahoning road as fanning a part of the road from Cleve land to New York, , Below is an article from the New York Trl- • sune:npon the Bame subject, which: is'worthy of ■ consideration, : Certainly the project of: making tbo Mahoning road a portion of tbo airline road front Now York to St. Louis, looks plansUtle and probable. .... , [From tLo New York Trib’jnf-'.l Vfo alluded yesterday to the air-dine project for a’railroad from Cleveland to St. Houle.

Under this head , the' Merchant's Ledger has somo very carious and interesting calculations. It estimates the average of American births per second, for the last eighteen hundred and ■fifty three years, at about 815, This would make the whole number of human being s who have lived since the birth of Christ, about thirty-two thonsand millions. Deducting from this number the nine hundred and Bixty millions, who form the -present popu lation of tho globe, and it leaves the number, of thirty- one thousand and forty: millions that have gone to tho grave. Of this nnmher, the estimate is that nine thou sand millions have died by wars. > .Eight thousand millions by famine and pes tilence. five hundred millions by martyrdom. ■ - Five hundred'and eighty millions by intoxica ting drinks. - rThirteeni thousand millions natural or other wise. By this estimate it will bo seen that war and strong drink have sent one third of the human race to a premature grave. ■ UQ, Hon Wm. P. Schell has - removed bis family to Bedford.

Jkar Sir: la reply toyour fcvor of ihia data,making in quiry of mo la relation to the extent of grounds unobstruct- cd by streets, which/in my opinion, to demauded fbr a rail-1 rood terminus fir such a road as tho. RaU* | road,.or the Baltimore and Ohio, I beg. leave to state facts? | caanindJcaUotxof.iav ODlnlon,and that of others, inlorosi- j ed in tho latter roai " 1 - At Baltimore, we have fbr our Machinery. -Station about | 30 acres, neatly half of which is already occupied and used | . for.e i road, when Us Westcra ccnncctkms are completed, may bo i increased re one million of taus per annum. The number i of cars which the business would require would be about; 7500, which. If extended upon ridings, would extend 48 i miles. Of these, a large proportion must be frequently i concentrated at Pittsburgh, and eight miles of sidings in or; n«ar tho city, would not appear to be too great an allowance. The construction of these ears will Involve au expendi ture of three millions of dollars; tho locomotives required to haul theta will cost them as much more. The repairs and other necessary expenses will require disbumuncsts to the amount of over two millions of dollars unoually, the portion of which, expended at any cr.o point, will depend upon the amount of room and the fcdlities which tho place affords. Philadelphia, Altoona, and Pittsburgh, are the only points far extensive repairs and reconstruction of me* chicory, but any difflculty In procuring tho mxreocry facil ities at Philadelphia or Pittaborgb. would cosccutrato the business at Altoona, and increase thedlfburrements at that point. - . We have now secured more than 100 arms in cad near thedty of Philadelphia. The Baltimore end Ohio Ball rood Company, U is undvrrtood, has a still larger extent of depot grounds in and near Baltimore, and If tho. Pennsylvania Railroad Company should remain In the undisputed poegex ion ofall tho property; acquired in PiUrburgri, U will bo scarcely sufficient for the uses of the road. But If the grounds purchased. bv the Company, in the Moth Ward, for tho erection of chop* and depots, and the construction of sidings, should bo divided by streets, to Lc kept open ns public highways, it u rearcely necessary to state—co obvious Is the fret—that the raluo of the proper ty tar railroad purposes. wouM IfO raUrely destroyed: tho present expensive, buildings located upon the lino of tho proposed street* would be removed, oihurs could sot be erected and »there is sm pthcr bxatiop In the vklnity that would be suitable,-U is difficult to porrelro how. it would bo possible to coQtinue Pittsburgh as tho terminus of the road. The Company would be compelled to seek a connection with the Ohio River at some other point, for nil their .through business. We hate been disposed to attribute the agitation of this subject to the efforts of a taw disaffected individuals, and havo notbeltevcd It possible that ouy deposition existed on the part cf Councils, or of the citizens generally, to dispos sess the Company cf their Ninth Ward property by opening streets through it, particularly as the streets, when opened, would be of no advantage to the public, a high hill prevent* log tho extension oftbe strata in onedirccuon, while, la a direction parallel to ibo rlrere, the communications now ex isting ore ample. It appears strange that comparatively unimportant con* sMctailon* should have boon permitted, tar a time, to dis turb the friendly relations which should be cultivated be tween Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania Railroad Ocmpar ny: the tntoresta of both ore to a great extent and the benefits conferred upon . v each other mutual. Alle gheny county generously subscribed one million to the cap ital of the Company; but In return tar this, tho estimate* of the western division were ehlcfly paid Id Pittsburgh,and two millions hare probably beefl returned and circulated to Al legheny for the one million that was subscribed. . Tho future promise* etUi richer benefits from the comple tion of the read and Its improvements, unless a hostile and suicidal policy shall reject the proffered boon. Two or three hundred families of with means of making cash payment* for tbclr purchases, will bo no inconsiderable ad dition to the wealth and prosperity of any city. I have been greatly surprised that any difficulties should bare arisen, and hare felt eonOdcnt that they could not be of long duration. The true interests of all parties are so obTlous that 1 think a conciliatory and paternal coarse must and will to pursued, notwithstanding tho efforts of individuals where private interests or disappointed expecta tions might lead them to encourage discoru. ramcctfblly. .. JL lIAUPT, . . Chief Engtowr Pennsylvania Railroad. ’ ■were It has been thought unnecessary to obtain written evi dence from Cleveland, because, doubtless, you are already in possession of all the Intarmaiion relative to tho roads at that point This town, a rival of Pittsburgh, has riven to tho Railroad companies all the tacllltles which they re quired, and Is now reaping the results in.an enormous trade. Her Interpsta she dooms, and finds to be, the interests of her railroads. . - - The opinions of able and experiouood moo all agree tbnt the space already occupied, by tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company, is not more than sufficient But is it not evident that, although nominally you .may opon these streets, you cannotdo it really? .The attempt injurious to the Compa ny, would to dangerous to the lives of your constituents. Suppose tho buildings tom down and tho street oponed, would you not thus sot a trap tor the lives of the citizens of Pittsburgh? Would you—would any man in his senses at tempt to walk or drive through* street, throe hundred feet in length* full of linos of railroad tracks crowded with care, end on which locomotives ora constantly passing to and fro, so that in the endeavor .to shun one danger, you would bo constantly rushing into tho jaws of another: Who is to an swer for the liTes.whlcb must to sacrificed, if theso streets are oppned? And what is the object of opening theso streets? To reach the basoof a precipice three hundred feotinhci?ht, up which no vehicle can to drivou, and ipost of which is impracticable on foot. I submit, with great respect, that the Councils of lUttsbnrgh, by opening these streets, instead -of advancing the .interests of those, who sent them here, would bexottlng a snare tar tho lives of their constituents, and exposing women, children, tho ignorant and those who most need protection, to extreme peril. .Suppose tho Rail road company bad no occasion tar tho ground over wblch these paper streets pars. Would not common humanity direct that as the only means of averting inevitable danger and protecting life, that they should to closed? I submit thatovenwere not the interest of thoßailroad, or the prosper ity of this thrivlngcity involved.the streets should remain un opened, and the danger consequent upon the postage through them to avoided* I will not dotain you by any Ulßcusstanon the letters which I have read, because they aro tacts which none competent to judge will dispute. They aro a loaf out of railroad oMory, and true philosophy teach ing by example. Now, gewtfomen, candor compels me to say, that if you open these streets you will drive the road from Pittsburgh The task Ison unpleasant one, but it is my duty to perform It, and I say that to open these streets would render it im possible tar the road to fulfil tho obligations incurred to wards Pbjjpdolpbio, Allegheny county, aud tho dtixens of Pittsburgh—nay, towards the whole State of Pennsylvania; ' end-if, by the coaetmept of thia nrdjaanpp. you drive out tho railroad, what do you gain?

I would have thought It j pterfblotbat they might regard tbe-trififug ineonremenco;' sustained by the vacating of tbeso streets,, and forget the great public good which ensues.. But they, do not do this, and I hold here In my hand indubitable evidence of the fact, in the signatures of a largo majority of the resident freeholders of ibe Mmh Ward, have petitioned your honorable body, to vacate these streets. Pardon me, while I raod it. for it is well worthy of your attention. “ To tho Select Committee of tho Select and Common Conn- ells of the Gtyot Pittsburgh: “ Gsxrmrrs,—We, the undersigned citizen? and property holders In tbs blnUj Ward] .■would respectfully submit for your favorable consideration the following reasons for the vacating of tbo crora streets and Sassafras alley, which are occcupiod or proposed to be occupied by the Pennsylvania Ball road Company. « Ist We believe tbnt the cald Railroad Is of the utmost Importance to the ciiy generally, and that every flung should be done by thadty to accommodate and facilitate it In the discharge of tl* legitimate business. * l 2d- And as the said company state that b noecssarv for U:em to hate tbe» streets, (which wera awarded -to them along with the rest of their ground.) in order to erect their buildings and lay their numerous tracks, we arc grilling to surrender the right to have the Streets opened on account of the great and important advantage It will be.to our ward, which b mostly unimproved, in baring these extemure workshops, erected- For If the dly disturb the com pa oy in the quid and peaceful enjoyment of the whole cf the ground awarded to them, by opening these streets, they ciay be drives away to other places, and thus lose the adrsnt- highly raloablo Improvements, i 2d- And are of the belief that tho opening of these streets i would be but little if any benefit to any one, as they lead i to the foot of ft precipice ofa hill up the direct face of which i a? plm> tom over be made. If streets are necessary to get i across to the hUI ride, the only practical undo would be to [ r«an ooq street from tho westemdda of tberailroadgznund, i inclining up Mil euvlwardly, and another street start from I the eastern Fide of the railroad, inclining up tho hill west- I wardly, meeting near to top of ih® hill, thus an easy eg ess ami ingms would be had to any part of tho bill rids.

You can examine for yourselves gentlemen, tbo name* of [ theso signer*. among which you will find eoraoof tho largest' property holders in tho Ward. If any Individual will bo Injured by vacating these streets, he has his remedy ol law, and the courts will en force that remedy. Hence this is a legislative, sot a Judi cial qcration. The latter we are ready to meet when pro perly presented before the proper tribunal. We could not, and wiQ not Injure tbo Pennsylvania Hos pital raQoding to'a remonstrance from the Pennsylvania Hospital, which had been presented by General Moorhead, against the vacation of these streets,] —the Pennsylvania Hospital is be rend any of tho ground touched on by tbo road, and nothing but ntfsapprefconrionof our fcru» object* eonld have induced the remonstrance. . {.The gentleman then exhibited a plan, prepared at the I instance of thft cUUcna of tho Mnth ward, pointing oat a modo of obtaining access to the hill abero tho Kailfoad grounds, by running two streets up in the form of the Tet ter A, Instead Of going directly up the steep side of the bluff, j . - I am not here to grguo a question aq to fha interests of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company simply, but necessarily I of railroad subjects generally, and it is for you tosvy [ whether they shall flourish or decay. It is not to bo supposed that tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company, with Its thirteen I or fourteen millions of dollars invested in this enterprise, I would consent to jeopardise a earn of such magnitude. No* I ture has placed Pittsburgh in a position altogether too mag. nifleent to permit man to triflo with her destiny. The con- I fluent current* of commerce, uniting from tho North and South at your very doors, should not bo diverted. Tou owe I It to yourselves ami to the State not to divert yourselves of I those advantages.
