the population was between 3,000 and 4,0 O. In
1720 the number of taxable inhabitant. of, the
city and county (which then embraced much
larger region of territory than the pros taimite
of the cily,) was 1,195. In 1731 the population
of the city and suburbs was estimated at 12,000.
In 1744 the population of the city was estimated
at 13,000, and the number of houses at 1,500, by
Secretary Peters. .In 1749 the houses were
cettottd by a number of gentlemen, among whom
were Dr. Franklin and other distinguished citizens
in person, (an evidence of the interest in such
subjects, by the wey, which might not be unprof
itably imitated at this day,) and the number was
found to be 2,076. In 1753 the number of houses
was found to he 2,300. In 1760 the number of
houses was 2,069, and the number of taxables
was 8.321, of whom 5,687 resided outside of
the old city limits. In 1770 the estimated popu
lation was from 25,000 to 30,000. In 1777, when
General Howe occupied the city, an exact ensue
was ordered by General Cornwallis. In conse
quenoe of the war, many of the citizen° had left
the city, and 587 houses were untenanted, but the
population, exclusive of soldiers and strangers,
was found to be 21,767, and the number of houses
was set down'tbue: In the city proper, 3,508 ; in
Southwark, 781; in Northern Liberties, 1,1701
total, 5,470. In 1790 the population of the city
and suburbs, exclusive of the rural districts of
the county, was found to be 42,520, and its regu
lar progression has since been shown by the
census. Its increase may beset down thus:

The present population of the city is supposed
to exceed 600,000.
The following is an item also deserving
of notice :

This is an increase over last year of about three
millions of dollars. The number of taxables this
year is set down at 103,850, a decrease of 3,129
since 1858. This decrease in the number of tax
ables is found in the manufacturing wards, and
doubtless results filen the revulsion of business
within the last year, which has driven those out of
work into the country for employment.

minister in 1836, having taken a regular
course in their Theological School in Hamil
ton, but having changed his views of Bap
tism in 1850, he joined the Presbytery of
Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Owing to an
attack of bronchitis, he was compelled to de
sist from preaching in 1853, since which he
has been engaged in teaching in Pennsyl

have been a man of ardent piety, respectable
learning, and good talents. •He died in peace.

The Legislature of South Carolina have suc

person of the Hon. James Chestnut, President of
the State Senate. This election is a. signal triumph
of the Conservatives in the Legislature, and is
believed to have been brought about through the
influence of Senator Hammond,. who was in Co •

in the last of which Chestnut received ninety•two
votes, and Adams fifty-four.

which is said to surpass the cannel coal. The

It is very light, and oan be ignited as easily
as a piece of dry white pine wood. It is extreme
ly gaseous and emits a very strong odor when
burning. A piece as large as a email marble,
placed in the bowl of a clay pipe 'made air-tight,
and then inserted in a hot fire, gave out gas
enough at the end of the stem to burn with a
bright light for five minutes. It evidently could
only be used for making gas or oil, as it has not
sufficient solidity to burn in a grate or stove, but
would probably ran out through the bars ins sort

The Commerce of the Last Fiscal Year.
The New York Journal of Commerce has been
favored with an official advance statement of the
imports and exports of the fiscal year closing
with June last, and this statement takes the
gratifying form of a balance of over forty-two
millions in our favor. The gratification we feel
is comparative, however, since we may in future
do far better than this, but it is well to recognize
a favorable condition of our foreign exchanges
even when it puts on only the negative form of
not being a bum Thus, in this case, fifty-two
and a half millions of our exports were specie,
and only in a partial SUMO deserve to be classed
with commercial exports, but as part mitigation
of this fact, we find nineteen and one•fourth
millions of :prole imported, the balance of specie
going out being over thirty-three millions, The
total falling off of imports is $78,276,911, and
this great sum is probably largely to be , reckoned
as so much saved in classes of goods which may
be supplied at home at no distant-day. Our ex
ports have fallen off $38,316,261'—516,508,775
of which is specie, and $27,656,680 Ices of do•
mestic produce has been exported, the increase
in foreign produce re: exported making up the
excras of theme two items over the aggregate fiat
named. The total.of imports is still greater than
in 1'55 or 1853, but, in dutiable goods, it is less
than in any year since 1852. Free goods have
largely increased, indeed, over last year, being
$61,044,779 against $54,267,507 in 1856-7. The
falling off iu dutiable goods is almost ninety-two
millions of dollars—a, most extraordinary, and
unprecedented sum.
The receipts of customs for the year were
$41;789,7.21, averaging 24 per cent. on the duti
able goods.—Phil. North American.

Business last week was active, and our rivers are In fine

of coalboate; but the, water ran out almost in one night;
and the greater part could not getaway. The barges,con
twirling about 1,100,000 got out, however, and under the
impression that the river would soon close, the amount
landed at eh:Minna% 600,000 has, was taken promptly at
ten cents—a fortunate • thing for the sellers. The-fleet of
fiat boats which has now got out safely will relieve the peo

The rise is fortunate, also, in furnishing the opportunity
of getting eupplies of flour from below. Large purchases
have been made in Cincinnati, on Pittsburgh account, two
houses alone buying 10,000 barrels, 'and others have no

DIED—At his reddence in Baldwin Township,
Allegheny County, Pa., on the Slat of October,
Mr. .Anroar Monoara, aged about 90 years.
In a good old age, full of faith and hope, this
father departed this' life, confident of a glorious
immortality beyond the grave. He lived to honor
religion and the Bavionr, and is gone to receive
his reward. J.WH.

in the 75th year of his age. -
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell united with the church
of Orris Creek in early life, and shortly after
their marriage, removed to Harrison County,
Ohio, and united with the church of Crab Apple,
where Mr. C. was elected and ordained Ruling
Elder; which office he sustained with fidelity for
over forty years. About the year 1828 they re
turned to Cross Creek, where they resided for, a l
few years, and then removed, to Lower Buffalo,
when they spent the remainder of their days in
the communion of that church, highly esteemed
for their Christian character and .deportment.
They lived to see their children of the third gen
eration, and three of their. sops Ruling Elders in
the Presbyterian Church—one of these in the
same church with the father. They were useful'
in their lives; their latter end was :peace; and
they were not long separated in death. J.P.
Dia•—At Milroy, Mifflin County, Pa., on the
lst day of October, aged 85 years, and 19 days,
Mrs.' JANE WINEETT, widow of the late Samuel
Winkett.
Mrs. W. was a native of Chester County, in'
this . State, but came to Kishacoquillas Valley,
Mifflin County, immediately subsequent to her
marriage. Shortly after her removal to this re
gion, and more than fifty years ago, she united
with, the Presbyterian church of Past Kishaco
gullies, then under the ministry of the late Rey.
James Johnston. About seven years, since,
having taken up her abode near to theMilroy
church, she transferred her relation to it. Daring
this long period, Mrs. W. was distinguished for a
consistent Christian deportment, and for a dili
gent attendance in the house of God. In the
latter part;of her time, being freed, (through the
kindness of her children,) from domestic cares,
and tieing favored with a remarkable degree of
bodily and mental vigor, she delighted to frequent
the sanctuary, and , was often found there when
circumstances seemed to furnish an. apology for
her absence. • Her laskillness was long continued,
and painful, but Jesus was nigh, and precious to
her soul,
,and She bore her sufferings meekly. In
a conversation with her , pastor, but a shorn time
before her departure, she expressed a desire for
tt.' greater conformity to Christ, and referred to
Hymn 291,
Come, my Redeemer, come,
And deign to dwell with me,"
as describing the wishes of her heart, and asked
that i might .be sung on the occasion of her
fanexitl, which was dorm according to her request..
Her friends mourn her departure ; her children
ricrenp and call her blessed. ' S.L.
Dinn.--At his residence, in Perry County, Pa.,
November 16th, Mr. JAMES Cuoix, in the 61st
Year'of his age. At the' same place, November
22d, Mr. Arinumi Mena, in the 59th year of his
age.
These two brothers were born andieared upon
the spot where they died. They were partners
in business: Andrew was never married, and
always had his home with his brother: They
lived and acted together in great harmony:
sharing each other's joys and sorrows: In early
life they' both became members of the Centre
rresbyterian church. - Having lived together
from childhood, together they died,, both alike
calmly and peacefully, with their hopes of a
•
blissful immortality firmly fixed in the Lord
Jesus Christ. In this dispensation of providence,
the "little flock" of which they were a part has
lost much. James was for about thirty years an
elder, and, in that capacity served the church
with much acceptance. He was e. man of modest
virtue. He shrank from observation. His piety
was most manifest at home, but , his walk, and
conversation everywhere were such as become
the. Gospel of Christ. He leaves a very Interest
ing family to mourn bier a Widow and five
children. Three of the children, together with
their,mother, are: members of-the Church. Of
these, two are young men, who, it, is fondly
hoped, will take the, places of those who have
fallen, as pillars in the Church: "Of Jathes and
Andrew Clark, it may be said, as it was of Saul
and Jonathan, they "were - lovely and pleasant
in their lives, and la their death they were not
divided,"
Dron—ln McKeesport, Penna., November 12th,
Mr. Joint MoKan Watonain, in the 49th year of
his age. • .
Seldom are we called on to record a death so
sudden, so melancholy, and to us so mysterious.
Mr. Whigham thought it necessary, in order to
meet his engagement and fill his contracts, to
run his steam saw-mill fora few nights. On the
night of , the 12th inst, near 12 o'clock, before
- retiring, he went to the mill to see if all was
going right, when he found the machinery
stopped ; and in aiding to adjust it by tramping
on the flywheel, which had ,stopped on the cen
tre, it startedrtoo quick, and he was carried
around with it, and before the engine could be
stopped, which was almost instantly, he was
crushed to death. Many of his bones were
broken, and the flesh much bruised and somewhat
cat It was not so much on . account of the,
manner of the' death, as the fact that a most
worthy man had gone from us, that caused this
whole community to feel and mourn as they have
seldom felt and mourned. Many on Saturday
called to sympathize with the bereft. On Sabbath
afterneon, a large and deeply solemn audience
met at his late residence, where. his body still
lingered, and listened attentively while_his pastor
improved the occasion in a discourse from the
words, "Be ye also ready, for in such an hour
as ye think not,- the Son of Man-cometh." 'On
Monday, notwithstanding the inclement weather,
a very large number testified their respect ty fol
lowing his remains to their last resting place. Mr.
W. had been a consistent member of the Presby
terian church in this plane for some years. He
was a man of few words, but of deep-toned piety.
He 'was pre-eminently "an honest man, the
noblest work of God." He was a man of means )
but benevolence never sought a portion in vain.
He gave with a willing heart and a liberal hand
to the cause of Jesus, whenever asked. If
providentially hindered from being present when
-the cause of benevolence was presented in his
church, he forgot it not, but handed in his
contribution the first opportunity. ' When. thus
handing the writer a contribution, he said to
another who. was also giving, 41 The cause is
good; there is no safer or better place to deposit
than in the Lord's treasury." This community
has lost a noble'example of industry, enterprise,
arid uprightness ; 'the church a faithful hearer,
, a liberal supporter, and a wise counselor; the
pastor an ardent friend, one that spoke words of
cheer to him more than once, and - whose counsel
the pastor more than once sought;" the cause of
. Christ a warm and liberal friend; his beloved
partner a loving and faithful husband ; 'his four
remaining children, mother, two brethers, ,
and
three sisters, an -affectionate father, son, and
-brother.
" Mark the perfect man, and behold the
upright, for the end of that man is peace." Such
we believe the departed to have been in an emi
nent degree, and hence'weeping friends have an
infinite source of consolation in the remembrance
that though death came 'ln a moment, it found
him prepared, and his end was and is peace.
