IXlic Clailu Illorning Post. Ml:==M:l PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1845 'POLK AN D Peat. " —We publish under this car lion an article from the Dublin Nation—the organ of the Repealer. in Ireland, to which we would call the attention of our readers, We believe it sets forth The feelings of the Irish people on the Oregon question more truly than the rash and insulting speech of Mr O'Connell. ItVe ate confident that if ever an occa-ion should offer when the Agitator would be called upon to make good his promise of humbling the American Eagle before the !"Sparrows of Downing street: . he would find that his warm hearted countrymen are not prepared to play the part of the llcssisne of the Revo lution even at his potent call. Inall honorable effort.. we believe Mr O'Connell's influence with the I ri,h people is unbounded, but neither he nor any other net n can lead them to make good the pledge he hoe tender ed to their oppressor. It is beneath the ample wings of the American Eagle that they find the protection and enjoy the privileges that with all his aptatton for the last thirty years, he has failed to win for them in their native land. Ingratitude is no trait of an Irishman's character, nor is their valor of that kind that would induce Them to crush their benefuctora, or fight for the overthrow of the free institutions that they have been so long de manding for their own oppressed country. No one will deny Mr. O'Cennell's great popu'ority with the Irish people, and his power of directing their energies in a good cause; but none who know an) thing of the Irish character, and their proverbial love of political freedom', will assert that his influence could induce them to aid by act or thought, the power which has kept them so long in bondage, in spreading its iron rule over the only land where the injured of every clime can hope to find protectton from oppression. Mr O'Connell may pursue whatever course, in this contest between the United States and Great lititaio, he may deem best. He may consider it patriotic to vaunt of the valor and power of Ireland's oppressor; he may expect to tickle the vanity of John Bull by predicting the triumph of British arms on American soil; but in.ithis work of humility he will receive but little encoeragemeet from the Irish people, and if lie wishes to lead a party that desires to see the Ameri can Eaglehumbled before the prowess of England, he will find but few followers in such a scheme among hi, warm-hearted countrvrnen. (The editor of the American is writing a series of articles against the Pittsburgh Bank, and in general terms—entirely too general to be perfectly satt:tfacto ry to those who are not as intimately acquainted with the iniquities of the institution as our cotemporary ap pears to be—makes it out a perfect monster. We cannot clearly understand the editor's principal objec tion to the Bunk, but after reading his last article we concluded that it is because there is some person con nected with it w ho is not just as hetralsotne as he might be if he wa■ better looking. We believe there are some persons connected with the Pittsburgh Bank who are wit prodigies of personal beauty, but we can not see the :justice of denouncing it on accou nt of their went of comiiness; every body cannot be a= handsome as the editor of the American. SHITCRIAL CHANGE.—The Agra of yctter.l.ly trained the valedictory of R. W. MlDDr.rrol, who has digpased of his interest to J. HERO' Fo* TER, Esq., and withdrawn from the concern.

'GRowTH or THE W F.+T.—ln January, 1333, Chica- go contained 100 inhabitants and half a dozen log houses. ‘Vhen the census was taken in 1890, it con *tattled 4353, and in 1843, the numbor of inhabitants amounted to 7580. In December last, according to the census then taken, Chicago contained 10,691. An idea of the amount of its trade can bo formed horn the following table of exports and import•: Exports. Imports. 1.000 64 1696 32.i,209 91 2'211.6 2 5 74 11411 562,106 20 784,504 23 1114 1,636,416 00 There is besides this a domestic trade amounting to a very considerable sum. Shoes, hats, caps, har nesses 'and snddlery are manufactured in sufficient qoaraities nearly to supply the city and the country in the immediate vicinity. The farming utensils for n large election of the country are all made there. The number of rea+els engaged in trade durinc the year 1841 was 194; of which there were 18 twamboats and 10 propellers. In 1844 there were 871 buildings erected, many of them of a substantial character. The miners in the coal regions near Cumber land, Md., who have been on &strike, have received an advance of wages and returned to their work a gain The NlounrSavrif:e ir.,n works were atnrped or a few day 4 by µant of coal during the sttike. Editorial Corrozpondence D►aa P.-1 have passed a few days in the "Queen City," and hase been astonished at its extent, and de lighted with its beauty. Cincinnati certainly is a great city, notwithstanding she falls far behind our own town of smoke in many things. The stranger, in walking through Cincinnati will be 'track with its re sembhince to Philadelphia. This i. found in 'he neat, tasteful, and cleanly appearance of the d‘vellings.— But, you will not see, in Cincinnati, crowds of costly. dressed people, such as throng Chesnut street, because, in the first place, there are very few idle persons in our Western towns; all are busy in some avocation nr other, and even those who could afford to quit busi ness. still labor a s if they were at rugg;ing for a mere livelihood. It is impossible that a people like this should take much pains to ornament their persons in the elegant and tasteful style which pievails in the eastern cities—if they did, nobody would fiat' time to look at or admire them, and thus the great indu , e. nice' for display is lost. In their houses and ground:, howevei, the Cincinnati:lns exhibit altundunrc , of tuF.te, and mooch attention to coafmt. And if it cite not for the alotrnee of the beautiful squaws, which are to be found in Philthitipluu, a t-zianger would almost t-wrar that he w oe itr that city of church-burning I rim 1 ,, 1d that there will he 1,500 buildirgs erected in Cincinnati this season. This, I imagine, is rather a larger number than %%ill be built, hut when 1 look at the great Beth iiy in building, it almost seems as if the boast v. not a vain one. One thing is certain, they have great reed for more houses. I noticed, in wa:king, ever n lan ge portion of the city, but one sin gle dwelling with "To Let" upon it, and the gentleman with whom I was in company, remarked that that hill had been up for three days, which he seemed to consid er a long time for a good house to want a tenant Tlie exoibitant price asked for it, accounted for its be ing vacant. It is almost impossible to get a comfm t able how" an great is the demand for diem. Rents (for mr.derate sized houses, nt least.) are very nearly double what they are in Pittsburgh, and mere than double what they are in Allegheny. Among the pub lic edifices now being erected. is a splendid Cathe dral, a Hall for the OdthFellows and one for the Free Masons. The Cathedral is built of a beautiful granite, brought from near Dayhm, I believe. and is a very large building. It is well located, in the ct tire of a large square, is hich is to In laid out and ornamented with shr,diberv. Sc. The Odd Fellows are a numerous and flourisl.ing I..kiy. They number o'er 1000, and ate b , ,ilding a Hall about 40 feet by CO, four stories high. The iree Masons, too, are bidding, on the corner opposite the Odd Fellows. a Hull 140 feet by 100, a+ near us 1 can remember the dimensions. The markets are very good and very cheap, here. but they are not so much superior to our own as some people would have us believe. The irsymen of Pittsburgh would not 'IA , I the hor ses end drays that are to be seen here.

The Bank Panic is about over. The discredit ing—with or wilhout cati..e, most be yet ascertained —of the ‘Venster, Sandusky and Norwalk paper, has tended to the accumulation of considerable gitantities in one or two band., which will, in a few days, re. turn it to the several places of is.we, and of course make a "tun" on the ruin or exchange. Nothing se perhaps, will result to the Bsnks, unless they are nut in a imitation to maintain, their credit. This single event is a conclusive argument for the advantages which would result from a close supervision of the Bank Commig.iioners, and shows the absolute neet,sity of regular reports of their condition being made, and w hich their true situation would be plainly set firth. And why should they not be subject to ex amination by Stara nuihorit 7 1 hey claim to he State "iontitution,i," and hold in their power the pecuniary welfare of the people. The Bunks of this city dis credited the paper of three shaving shops first, and were the cause of creating the panic which was used to the loss of many, ned the profit of a few. And why? Becau-e they said neither of them had made a Report of thew condition for some time, and it was im possible to know whether they were solvent or not. So much, therefore, for the credit of NV higgery in re pealing the law subjecting Bat lss to the supervisory care of State OtTicer. As to the St. Clair Brink, we have no doubt of it being a most disastrous failure—venter, perhaps, than that of any other that has happened in Ohio, and probably in the west. The paper was mostly confin ed to that portion of Ohio north of the National rood; at lens; there is but a small portion of it in the coun ties whose trading centres at this psoire; hut in the north it was the bulk of the paper circulation, and will be found worthless in almost every farmer's pock et and every trader's desk. Yet the Smiths don't know the cause of their explosien, they say. The gambler who has cheated and swindled, knows not how he has made his raise! It will be well if they have had nothing to do with the other bauks of the north. How the Circleville bank has escaped the pa nic is mysterious, since that institution was former ly the disbursing office of the Smiths. [Cincinnati Enquirer, May 10. CINCINNATI NI: y. 7, 1845 Correspondence of Morning Poet llttoox FARM, FHAL•AX, Miy 8, 1845 Getris.—l write this letter in the printing.office of the Phalanx, in which will be published. in a week or two, a new paper, to be called the “Ilsttettvcea," devoted, of coot se, to the ex position of the doctrines of Association, as attempted to be curt ied out on this domain. As Tam removed from the nctive scenes of life, (being eight miles from Boston.) I can collect nothing in tho way of news, and perhaps nothing that will prove interesting to your readers. Ilere I have a fair specimen by which to judge of all New England, in so far as pcpulation, soil and climate is concerned. Thepeople are good livers—somewhat inclines to Epicureanism—and yet the where-withal to support this style appears very limited. A western farmer would certainly starve, if driven to dig hissuste_ mance from the soil in this neightim hood. It is indeed miserable, about on a par with the side hills in the mountain regions of Pennsylvania; with this difference, that the stone which protects the soil from the action of the atmosphere in middle Pennsylvania, can be ch:sseled into something tErfill or ornamental, while lade is to be found nought but "niggerheads." The dwellings in theneighbot hood of the Phalanx are large and neat, and by no means characteristic of New Eng land conservatism—the must bigoted and rigid in the world. I ern told, however, that as one approaches the interior the appearance of the country changes— Ihe contrast between the soil and the improvements be ing less aura irg. What kind of a morning had you in Pittsburgh on the date of this letter? Cold, blustery, with ruin and snow? I think not so bad as this, if you have been blessed with Pittsburgh weal her lately. A natia says it is not uncommon to see snow four im:lies deep in Rome parts of Massachusetts in the middle of May. People bete put on their over -coots, but made no complaints, thus verifying the old adage, 'lt's nothing when you're used to it." In such a climate one might think that in the economy of nature, n counterpoise of good might he found—of a cold morning there should be something to burn, as wood, coal, or turf; but here there is norm of these. in quantiti'•a stith.-ient fir the necessities of the population.

There is one item favorable to the people here: agriculture is known to be a science by the farmers; and the land is tilled in a scientific manner. Indeed, stern necessity compels this. There is more agricul tural papers in Alasiiachusetts than there it in the whole west and south-west. Societies are existing in every county, and you may have some idea of the fre- quenry of lairs from reading the reports in your ex changes. The rivalry excited by these exhibitions result in immense good. At some expense, by great industry and application of science, the soil might be rendered tolerable; but the climate, cold and.dreaty, is the great draw back. The fire in Pittsburgh is not much spoken of here. Some efforts have been made in Boston, to raise funds for the relief of the suTerers, but much cannot be ex pected. There era no commercial tics existing be tween Boston and Pittsburgh; nor indeed ate there tins of any kind. This spring has been rendered memorable by the frequency of disasters, particularly by great fires.— The superstitious are giving some queer reasons for them, but all is easily accounted for. In the nccounts of all the fires, we may observe these %voids, "the wind was high at the time," which tells the whole story of the causes of the misfortunes which have visited many of tire cities and towns of this country.— Slate is used for roofing in Boston. Might it not be well to make some inquiries as to the price of slate delivered in Pittsburgh. That it would be cheaper at almost any price, than pine shingles, I think likely.— The late disaster weighs heavily in favor of this opin• ion, as they originated in the roof of every house that J.

Whatever may be thought of Peel's discretion, whatever shall be experienced of his acts, he has spo ken stoutly. The President solemnly announced, iii hie inaugural address, that the title of tho Amerirars to the Oregon Territory was ••clear and unquestionable. that they were perfecting that titile by immigration, and that the laws and arms of the Republic would follow and protect them. The English Minister bus prompt ly answered assertion by assertion, threat by threat, promise by deed. The right of England, Hays Sir 'Rob ert Peel, is "clear and ummestionable"—he uses the words of the President, to make his contradiction more emphatic—that right we shall ask America to admit, mid, failing to obtain, by admission or offer we are •determined and prepared to defend." He has stop ped the packet to send his instructions, he has commis sioned the Earl of Cathcart to com•nnnd the British troops in America, he has hurried rift wo companies of Artillery to Canada, he is about to send an additional force there-3,000 men, 'Lis said—and the Times boasts that. the llorts on the Columbia will be ready to reHist any troops that the Americans can move against them.

Yet. England will tied the Oregon without n war, if A m , rica persist. In any case England will lose it ; Gm the tide of immigration cannot be resisted by the Ministur nor moderated by the President; the great design of the American mind will be accomplished —the expulsion 1.1 every European power from their conti n en t . We do not say that England might not cols torise and long retain the Oregon ; we are no believers in a vile and mechanical necessity; human gen'us knows no impossihi.ities; human will is supreme on earth. If England were safe in Europe, and had contented Canada by independence.and should she establish a go3rdian army, and a sudden arid vast coleny in the tregon, under an enterprising and original Governor. with dictator's power, she might firmly ~o hl and grad ually occupy the Pacific side of Non h A merica.
