Louisville Advertiser. Increase of Trade The Baltimore American remarks that previously to the introduction of steamboats on the Misi-issippi, the amount of goods transported between New Orleans and the towns of Louisville and Cincinnati, was only two thousand tons, carried in bar

ges averaging 100 tons burthen, and making only one trip within the year. The amount is estimated to be at present upwards of one million of tons, the tonnage cf the steam boats employed in

this portion of the trade on the Ohio and

Mississippi alone being 8400, and eac!

ooai making many trips in a year. Thi is truly a most extraordinary increa

of trade in less than twenty years, steam boats having been first introduced on

the Mississippi in 1817. A part, but in

proportion to the whole, a small part, of this increase must be ascribed to the

growth of population; and moreover

(tie growth of population has itself been

vastly accelerated by the trading facil

paper, and 1 60 compositors. The principal composing room, where the type is set, is 270 feet long, and is filled from end to end, with a double row of frames. Two steam engines are employed in driving the printing machines, of which

there are eight that can each throw off

from 700 to 1000 impressions per hour. There are fifteen common printing presses for fine work, and 5 hydraulic presses, of 260 horse power each, for pressing paper. There are in the establishment about 1000 works in stereotype, of which 75 are Bibles. The first cost of these plates would amount to 400,000.; (he weight is about 3000 tons, and if melted and sold for old metal would be worth 70,000. The average quantity of paper printed amounts weekly to the astonishing quantity ofabout 2000 reams. When the papermakers and other tradesmen are taken into account, the men of which this establishment gives employment must amount to several thousands. Bost. Pa.
