We copy the following interesting article from the St. Louis Gazette of the 21st ult. The two cities of the United Sttes which are progressing most rapidly in population and wealth, at the present time, in proportion to their size, are undoubtedly Boston and St Louis, one in the Eastern, the other in the Western section of the Union. For many years?from 1800 to 1830? Boston was losing ground, in the race for greatness with New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore ; but about the year 1830 a new era dawned on that city, through the instrumcnrality of its enterprising capitalists, which has turned the tide strongly in its favor. At that, time, the first railroad was constructed on one side of the city, and the first steam-power loom establishment erected on the other. From that time to the present. Lowell has increased in'population from 300 to 20,000 and in wealth from $100,000 to 20,000,000. The cotton manufactures of Lowell, and the hundred other manufacturing villages in New England, have given a stability to the j trade of joston unknown to any other city in the Union. Massachusetts, formerly exporting, it was said, nothing but granite and ice,: * " ? i i I now produces manuiaciurcs vaiueu ai ninety millions of dollars per annum, a l large part of which centres at Boston, as a place of distribution to all parts of the Union. At a later period than that first men. tioned, her far-seeing citizens became convinced that, although she had no river like the Hudson, the Delaware, or the Susquehanna, to bring to her wharves the products of the boundless and fertile West, yet that an iron pathway might be laid along her mountain gorges, over which a jteain-engine with a train of cars could move at the rate of thirty miles per hour, taking the produce of the lakes at the outlet of the New York Canal, and landing it it Boston in less time than it can be dcivercd at New York. About one-half of his road is completed, and the whole will >e finished within twelve months from this, ime. This road will cost not far from seven nillions of dollars. It is calculated to mpport an engine of fourteen tons weight, ? /\a/\ i i r a __ ind to carry i,uuu Darreis 01 nour in u tingle train of cars ten miles an hour. It s estimated that when finished, flour can >e transported from Albany to Boston, 201 nilc s, for 30 cents per barrel. Two thou, sand men are now at work on this road, n some sections, both night and day. The capitalists of Boston have also contributed largely to the funds required for laying down railways from Albany to Buffalo between which places there will >oon be a continuous line completed. The same enterprise and capital will ere many fears shall have elapsed, continue the same line across Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, to St. Louis, incase the fundsrequi cd for the work arc not furnished by the states on the route. St. Loui3 owes its present prosperity to neither manufactories nor railroads, for it lias scarce a dollar expended in either. Its progress has been acclcrated mainly by the hundreds of thousand of immi- ] grants who have over spread the prairies of Missouri, Illinois, Wiskonsin, and Iowa? who have come here for the sale of their agricultural and mining productions, and for the purchase of merchandise. The increase of this city in wealth and popultion, within the past ten years, is scarcely paralleled. In 1831 the population of the city and suburbs was estimated at 6,000. It is now not far from 30,000, and rapidly increasing. The number of buildings recently commenced is very great, and the value of those in course of completion will exceed a million and a half of dollars. The trade between this city and Boston is greater, and the connexion more intimate, than is generally imagined. The various staple articles of export from Bast on, including domestic goods, boots and shoes, oil, candles, &c. required for this market, and which arc forwarded from here for the upper country, cannot fall short of two millions of dollars. Wc shall close these jemarks with a comparative statement of the value of Western productions shipped from NewOrleans to New York and Boston. New York.

He has but one idea?coal! One thing fills his vision?coal! Coal is the standard of value, and coal dust the circulating medium.? The houses are built of coal. The streets are paved with coal. The inhabitants live on coal. The children look as if they were made of coal, and even the white clouds are black ! What a wonderful region is Durham and Northumberland shires? The whole country is undermined. Buildings arc erected 700 and 800 feet below the suri face of the earth, and streets and railways.. I . m running for miles in all directions, are daily traversed by thousands of human beings. Newcastle with its population of 60,000, stands on the crust of a subterranean city. Some of its houses have sunken their foundations in consequence of the I yielding of the ground beneath. The River Tvne, as large as tho Thames at London, floats its commerce over these vast nni'nHnfl *? !? 11 r* f C) n /I r\ ?-1 o llOT VU?U1113 , ? lllit; (11 OUllUtllUliU UlIU UIIIVI places on the coast, the ocean rolls its waves over the heads of the miners. The cheif wealth of Durham and Northumberland lies hid in the bowels of the earth, where a very considerable portion of the inhabitants pass half their time. The coal-pits open their black mouths on every hill and in every valley. They may be distinguished far off by the towering enginery erected over them employed in raising the ccal and water from the depths below, and the piles of the former which lie around in hillocks waiting to be transported to market. The country is lined with railways?more abundant than hedg< -rows?used in "carrying coals to Newcastle." At every half mile, you meet with the little villages of the pitmen (as the labourers arc called.) The snug brick cottages are arranged with regularity and taste?each having its petit grass plat in front, usually decked with flowers, and its vegetable garden and fruit trees in the rear: What a contrast between these smiling though humble abodes, and the dismal caverns where the villagers spend nearly their whole conscious existence ! Great labor and expense attends the sinking of the shaft of a coal mine. The exact location of the strata must be ascertained by boring before the excavation commences. This determined, you know not what obstacles vou may encounter from veins of rocks or streams of water in your descent. And, then, the destruction of human life almost invariably incurred in these perilous enterprises! the gigantic nature of which may be inferred from /%. 11 ? the tact that tnc snaits are generally suiik to the depth of 600 or 700 feet, and sometimes to 1200! Political Abolition*.?It is calculated that James G. Birney, the Abolition candidate for the Presidency, received about 400 votes ia Ohio, and about 500 n Pensylvauia. In this city he received 170, and the State at large inclding the city perhaps 1000. We think it possible he may have received in the whole country, an aggrlgate of 5000 votes. N. Y. Jour. Com.

Afalaciiicola, Nov 7.?IlraJili.?Tt pains us to inform our readers that, during the present fall season, there has been much sickness in those sections of the Territory bordering on the Rivers and Creeks that flow into the Apalachicola above Chattahoochee. Jackson county has suffered a great deal. The diseases of this season, unfortunately, are of a very malignant character, much more so thau those incidental to the summer. Robert McConagiiy was executed in Huntingdon, Pa. on Friday, the 6th instant. lie was attended by a clergyman, to whom, at the moment of being swung off, he solemnly asseverated his innocence, declaring that, standing as he did on the very threshold of eternity, he knew no I thing of the crime lor wincii nc was 10 suffer. The clergyman withdrew, the drop fell, and the rope broke. The cord was doubled, and just as the officer was preparing to strike away the drop, the wretched man asked for a little time to make an open confession of his crime.? It was granted. He confessed his guilt, and was hnng. Philadelphia, Nov. 1G.?The short of an Earthquake in Philadelphia.?We were visited on Saturday night between 0 and 10 o'clock, with an extraordinary storm, accompanied by heavy thunder and vivid lightning. Shortly after 9, the buildings in various parts of our city, trcmbled and shook for several seconds, as if through the agency of an earthquake, Many of our citizens were alarmed, and the pause which immediately succeeded the shock, especially to those who were situations of quiet and repose, calcula fully to experience the terrible sensati was marked by a feeling of awe and lemnity. We have since been inforrr that the waters of the Delaware were a tated by a heavy and unusual swell at I same time. [from the n. o. picayune, nov. 12.] Dreadful Catastrophe?Steamboat 1 plosion??The steamboat General Brov irrived yesterday from Louisville, brir he melancholy tidings of another stea boat explosion. The General Brown p; sed the steamboat Persian on the 8th in at the town ofXapolcon, to which she h been towed from three miles below, wreck. On the night of the 7th her flu collapsed, killing and scalding from thii o forty persons ! Those who have be killed and wounded were deck passeng< and some of the crew. The whole of t cabin passengers, and the captain a clerk escaped uninjured. The head enj neer was killed. Since the above was written we ha conversed with the clerk of the Gene Brown. He tells us that except the flu which oollapsed there is no other part the Persian injured. They expect to pi ceed up by wailing ofTa couple of boilers The clerk of the General Brown infori us farther that six men died immediate at the time of the collapse?that sevente died next day, and there were some fifte or sixteen others whose lives were despa od of. The captain was asleep at the timet fatal explosion occured, and it is said some of the surviving firemen that the j lot was intoxicatod. The boat had stc ped at a wood pile some short time befc the collapse, but no steam was let oflT. ' a surcharge of steam the catastrophe is i tributed. hater and more Favorable.?The clc of the steamboat jVfcteor informs us tl ihe persons killed, were, the 1st engine the second mate, two firemen and scv deck passengers are missing, and tweni four of them are badly scalded. i Causes of Death Amongst Wome 1 ?The highest mortality of En/dish v - ?o - . . -- o men bv consumption may be ascrib partly to the in-door life which they le I and partly to the compression, preventi | the expansion of the chest, by costume.

Theory of the Wind?Wind 1 been explained in the following mann< Heated air has a tendency to rise, a ! cold air rushes in to supply its place. Thus the heated air of the equatorial re ons rises and gives place to a current s< from the polar regions, which is a proc ! that serves to equalise the temperature | the world. But the polar countries lyi 1 near to the axis of the sphere, the air fr ! those regions has not received so mi motion as about the equator, or great j distance from the axis ; whcrciorc, 11 rives at the equator where the motion of 1 earth is greater. If it had no motion fore, on cast wind would be the con : quencc, and the force of that wind be, as 1 difference between the motion of the ea j where the air came from, and that wh J it arrived ; but then it has a motion to south ; for it is rushing into a vacum 1 the air which rises; so that the wind * not be from the cast, but north east a the namber of degrees 'north of the e i from which it will blow will depend uf the comparative force of the current of from the north to the difference betwt the earth's motion at the equator and the polar region, from whence the comes. As there must be a correspoi ing efflax from the equator higher up, i cording to this theory, the wind should cry where be northeast or southwest, 1 j it blows in very difierent directions different limes and places : and this pro blv uepends on the variations in tcmpe turc at different times and places. Strength of Iiion Pillabs.?At I late meeting of the British Association Glasgow, a paper was read by Mr. IIo< ' ' ' 1?" ?vn?rl kinson, acscnoing usci i?r* ui i-aj,.,.. onts made by him on the strength of ii pillars. It appeared from these, thai pillar, square at the top and bottom, about three times as strong as one roum it the ends ; that if the pillars are not p ccd perfectly perpendicular, at least t thirds of their strength is lost, and t! they arc one seventh stronger when sw< ed in the middle, like the frustrum ol cone, with the base in the centre of i pillar. A Discovery.?Some three or f weeks since, a party of farmers assemb together at a mound on the premises Dr. Iluges, for the purpose of diggingi the same mound, and ascertaining wha contained. They accordingly corumen* operations, and digging some three f below the .surface of the mound, tl i came to a layer of hard earth, similar brick. On breaking through this kn I they were a little surprised to find a la ! roll of old "Continental Bills," neatly . veloped in an untanned Buffalo Skin On further search a number of anci , coins were found, composed chiefly I zinc, brass, copper, and pewter.
