VALUABLE REALESTATE.
v ir H E undersi:med will offer at PUBLIC SALE, or
• Lease, on Saturday, the 181 A of November next,
itt. 10 o'clock, A. M., that valuable property, on the
south side of the Monongahela river, opposite this city,
lately laid off in lots, embracing between 20 and 30
Items of ground.
This is well known to be the mast advantageous la
'caticn for manufacturing purposes in the vicinity of our
treat manufacturing city, having an extensive front on
"the river, and extending back to Coal Hill, celebrated
for the quality of its coal over any other, and in which
immediate vicinity and extending back arc inexhausti
ble mines; railways from which can be run directly in
to works on this property, as is now done in the neigh
borhood. There arc also several strata of coal beneath
the surface on this property, which will be valuable in
tithe, by the use of shafts, one of which is ascertained
beto l2 to 15 feet in thickness.
A portion of the property being elevated above the
pieper level, and the clay being of the best quality for
brick making, can be used very advantageously in im
provenient.,.
Its advantageous location for Manufacturing and
Building, the Slick Water Navigation of the Mononga
hda, its being nearly opposite the mouth of the Penn
sylvania Canal, and affording every facility for the re
ception of materials by river, at all seasons when navi
. gable at any other point in the vicinity of the city, its
proximity and connexion with which,as will be the ease
by a bridge so soon it beconies occupied, altogether
render it in every point of view, one of the niost desira
ble locations for investment anal ' improvenient.
Notwithstanding the number of extensive Works
which have been erected within the past few years;man
ufacmres have never flourished more successfully than
at present, the yearly increasing extent of our city, the
immense emigration to the West, and its unequalled
• rapid settlement, which our city must ever, as it now
does, most advantageously supply with manufactUres,
ill yearly increase the demand, and great as is our
haracter as a manufacturing place, when we review
the great increase in number and extent of our manu
factures within the past few years, we must consider it
in its infancy, as the great manufacturing and commer
teial point it is destined to become.
iln addition to the manufacturing of Iron, Nails, Glass,
Cngines and Machinery, Cotton Yarns, &e. which are
.operateil advantageously here, we require in this region
:manufactories of Cotton Goods, as the immense quanti
41ies of these articles yearly brought from the East for
9,nd Western and Southern maskets evince, the
profits to the different hands generally through which
Ale s y pass !between the manufacturer and the western
'merchant, .would satisfy a manufacturer; in addition
•tbere'is the carriage west to cast of the materials, and
vast to west of the manufactured articles, besides insur
tance, time, &c., offering every inducement to comp•m
ies of our own or Eastern Capitalists beyond competi-
Applications have been made for a number of years
.past for locations on this property for Manufacturing
and Building purposes, and itlas been laid off into lots
containing nearly an acre on the river, for the former,
anii9.4 by 109 feet for the latter purpose, fronting on
SO feet streets, and w 9 feet alleys.
It will be sold in a body, (exclusive of a few lots) or
portions will be sold togeaier to suit the views of indi
widuals or companies wishing to purchase, or otherwise
separately in lots. Some lots may be exchanged for
buildings on this property, or for a farm.
The terms will be made perfectly easy, only a small
portion required down, and the remainder in a term of
Tears, payable annually or otherwise.
It is not desired to dispose of the property under the
late and still existing depression of real estate, except
fonts fair value, but from the frequent applications for
its purchase, and the inducements offered at present for
iimprovements, every article and expense connected
Itherewith being so low, it is considered the present
pmeesion for these purposes by persons or companies
of wealth, would be so advantageous to them, together
with the terms on which it is offered, that induces the
offer of sale at this time. NEVILLE B. CRAIG.

County Commissioner.
A T the solicitation of a number of friends of ali
political parties, I respectfully offer myself to
the consideration of my fellow-citizens for the office of
County Commissioner. That tm• sentiments may not
be misunderstood, either as to political or private
affairs, I make free to say thut I have been all my life
a 'consistent Republican, in the true sense of the word.
As the country is somewhat embarrassed in its finan
cial affairs, and the reduction of salaries of public
officers has received the approbation of large majori
ties of the people, the undersigue<l would not should
he be so fortunate as to be elected, in any manner at- j
tempt to resist this salutary. reform; should it reach
the office of County COMM i:.Aoner.
