JEFFERSONVILLE, INDIANA.
This flourishing town, situated on the opposite bank of the Ohio, and in full view from our own city, has a population of about 3000 souls, and is rapidly increasing. Within the past year, extensive im- provements have been made on the river front. A very good wharf has- been constructed-a new Ferry Boat built -- and several new streets graded and paved.
At Jeffersonville, the Messrs. French construct their celebrated steam boats. Mr. F., senior, is the oldest boat builder on the Ohio. He commenced the business at Cincinnati, and built the first ferry boat to cross the Ohio, to the point now called Covington, by horse power.
Mr. French, Jr., possesses mechanical talent of a high order. He has invented a machine for breaking hemp, which, all who have exam- ined it, and are competent to judge, pronounce a most ingenious piece of mechanism, as likely to accomplish the object for which it is intended, viz :- clearing the fibre of hemp of all its woody particles, with greater facility and less labor, than by any other method in use, and at the same time rendering the fibres finer and softer.
Jeffersonville is the seat of the Penitentiary of Indiana. The State of Indiana has just erected new buildings, to which the convicts will be removed this fall. The new Penitentiary is 80 feet by 50, 4 stories high, surrounded by a wall 30 feet high, and 400 feet front, by 480 feet in depth.
There are, at the present time, 102 convicts, variously employed ; some are assisting in the construction of the new buildings, some at brickmaking, blacksmithing, &c.
The labor of the convicts is farmed out. The present employer, it is estimated, will clear ten thousand dollars a year by their labor.
148
JEFFERSONVILLE, SPRINGS.
This delightful watering place is not as famous or fashionable, as many others, inferior in every point of view, except that they are more difficult of access and farther from the smoke of the town.
With more eligible buildings and some little attention to the grounds and shrubbery, a more delightful spot could not be found whereon to rusticate, or dispel the ennui which lingers in the train of those who are perfectly at leisure, and know not how to consume their time.
IMPROVEMENTS OF THE XIX. CENTURY.
Within no given period, in any previous lapse of time, of which we have, either sacred or profane history teaching a contrary lesson, (embra- cing little more than half a century of years,) have so many and great im- provements been achieved, by the research and ingenuity of man, as those which characterize the age we live in.
The discoveries of Morse are in their youngest infancy, with scarcely a feature developed, and are now what the first efforts of Fulton were, in the application of steam power to propel boats, subjects of wonder, amazement and incredulity.
But without hyperbole, it may be said that the discoveries of Fulton, Evans, Watt, and of Morse, in science and the mechanic arts, are des- tined to encircle the globe, and with one endless chain of iron, to belt its great circumference.
The statements which follow, in relation to railways, are very im- portant, marking, as they do, the great superiority of this young Repub- lic over the combined powers of Kingly Europe, in the march of inter- nal improvement; especially when it is perceived that to our own countrymen, the world is so largely indebted for much of that knowl- edge, which, in its expansion and application seems in deed and in truth to almost annihilate time and space.

RAILROADS IN THE UNITED STATES.
The United States, proportioned to her capital and her 18,000,000 of population, has advanced more rapidly with her railways than the whole of Europe.
She has about 5000 miles completed and in use,
paying about 5 per cent. We have a like number of miles in the course of construction, and at least 10,000 miles of railways projected. We have expended on railways, $125,000,000. Of this sum, New England has 850 miles completed, at a cost of $26,000,000. The State of New York has 600 miles completed, and 1000 miles project- ed-one, the Erie Railroad, is 480 miles long from Lake Erie, to New York, under one valuable charter. We have in the United States, an unbroken line 650 miles long, extending from Portland, in Maine, through Massachusetts, by the bridge over the Hudson at Troy, to Buf- falo on Lake Erie, without stationary power, or any interruption. This is the longest continuous line, at present, in the world. Our seaboard line is already 900 miles in length, with slight interruptions by ferries. This line will be extended from Maine to New Orleans, and westward to St. Louis, on the Missouri. The northern interior line from Buffa- lo, will be extended along the shores of Lake Erie to Detroit, and from thence, by Chicago, to St. Louis. During this rapid progress of rail- ways, we do not learn that a single new canal, has been projected in the United States, or in Europe. Canals in England and in New Eng- land, side by side with railways, have fallen off in their receipts, from 33 to 66 per cent. ; and the value of this once favorite stock, in the London Market, has fallen in the same ratio, while railway stock is steadily on the advance.
RAILROADS IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Great Britain, with only $30,000,000 invested in canals, has forty- nine railways completed, 1716 miles in length, that have cost $300,- 000,000, built entirely by private enterprise, principally during the last ten years, unaided by the Government, if we except the sum of $670 per mile, per annum, paid by the Government for the transportation of mails, on the principal lines. This minor expenditure already yields 5 per cent., nett. The main long lines yield from 6 to 10 per cent., dividend. The most profitable railroad, is the Stockton and Darling- ton, used, mainly, for the carrying of coal, at one penny per ton, per mile, and netts 15 per cent., per annum, and is worth £260 for £100 paid. The railways projected in Great Britain and Ireland, exceed 2,500 miles.

RAILROADS IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM.
France has only 560 miles completed. Several years have been spent in discussing the question, and mode of aiding private enterprise, in preference to the construction and management of railways by the Government. For the privilege of transmitting the troops and mu- nitions of war, on favorable terms, the French Government now pro. pose to procure from individuals, the land, for the right of way, and to grade the railroad, ready for the superstructure, which the corporations, under a charter, are to furnish, with the iron rails, engines and cars. A moderate interest is then first allowed to the corporations, from the nett receipts of the road, on their disbursements. The additional gain is then divided between the stockholders and the Government.
Belgium has 342 miles of railroads, completed by the Government, for commerce and for military defence. They all radiate from Milli- enes, near Bruxeles. The investment pays 5 per cent. These roads are managed very expensively, and objections are made as to the man- ner of working them; also, to the accommodations and comforts af- forded to the travelling public. All branches and extensions are, here- after, to be by private enterprise.
From Calais and Bologne to Paris, a line is determined on, and a charter granted, principally to an English company, (R. Stephenson, C. Engineer,) aided by the French Government. This line will become the main route to Strasburg, and to the southern German railways, ex- tending to Vienna.
RAILROADS IN RUSSIA, PRUSSIA, ROTTERDAM, ANT- WERP AND OSTEND.
Russia, in 1837, had only one short road of 18 miles, proceeding from St. Petersburg to a watering place. It was constructed by the Chevalier de Gerstner and his associates, under a liberal charter from the Emperor, as a pattern railway. It was straight ; the Government setting the example, to yield the grounds through a fortification, and the gardens attached to a palace of the Emperor, to effect this object. This road pays 8 per cent., per annum. It is considered the pioneer to cover Russia with railroads.
The Emperor has a road in the course of rapid construction-super- intended by American Engineers-extending from St. Petersburg to Moscow, 400 miles in length. Another, from the same point, up- wards of one thousand miles, extending to the Caspian Sea, with branches to the Black Sea. ; and in other directions, designed for mili- tary attack and defence.
Prussia is rapidly introducing railways, under a liberal system, par- tially aided by the Government.
From Rotterdam, railways are in the course of construction, to the Rhine ; communicating with western and southern Germany, in about 800 miles.
Antwerp and Ostend are both in connection with the Rhine, at Co. logne, with the exception of a small link that remains incomplete.
151
RAILROADS IN AUSTRIA.
From Vienna, there are two routes; one by the Danube, and the other by Trieste. There is now a steamboat communication, down the Danube, and by the coast of Asia Minor, to Smyrna. From Paris, a" railway is to run to Lyons, and, from thence, to Marseilles, on the Mediterranean. This route through France, connects London with the present route to India, via. the Nile, Cairo and Suez, on the Red Sea. It is designed to improve this route, by the immediate construction of a railway, which has been surveyed from Cairo to Suez. The distance is only eighty-four miles. Sixty-seven miles is as straight as an air line; and, what is remarkable, the engineer, Mr. Gallow, finds the route " gravel and pebbles." It is the route supposed to have been adopted in their flight, by the children of Israel.
Despotic Spain and Portugal are still blanks in the railway system ; both, however, are beginning to turn their attention to the subject, and thus enlighten their people.
In Germany, there are now completed 25 railways ; 12 are nearly finished, and 17 projected. The finished railroads extend 1339 miles ; those constructing, 589 miles, and those projected, 3096 miles. Ger- many has 152 miles of railroads completed for every million of inhabi- tants; France, 16 ; Belgium, 50; Great Britain, 85; and the United States, 277 miles.

STEAMBOAT NAVIGATION.
The following account of steamboat navigation on the Western waters, is furnished by CAPT. DE HART, whose long experience in the trade of the West, stamps with no ordinary interest all that he furnishes on the subject.
In 1811-12, the "Orleans" was the first and only boat. The fol. lowing table exhibits a list of 376 boats, with an aggregate of 65,000 tons.
CAPT. DE HART says : "The first successful operation by steam, on the Western waters, was in the years 1811-12, by the steamboat " Orleans," of about 200 tons, low pressure engine, built by Fulton and Livingston, at Pittsburgh. She descended to New Orleans, and ran between New Orleans and Natchez until the 14th of July, 1814. When on her trip to Natchez, while lying-by, at night, above John Clay's Landing, opposite Baton Rouge, she settled on a sharp stump, by a great fall of the river in the night, and sunk. She was abandoned; and her engine, with a new copper boiler, made in New York, was put into a new boat in 1818, called the " New Orleans," which only ran until the spring of 1819, when she was sunk by a stump, on the same side of the river, below Baton Rouge, but raised by two schooners, brought to New Orleans between them, and there totally lost near the Batture.
The next boat built, was the " Vesuvius," about 360 tons. She was launched at Pittsburgh, in November, 1813, for the Ohio and Missis- sippi trade. She descended to New Orleans in the spring of 1814, and was the first to attempt to ascend to the Falls of the Ohio, and left New Orleans, with a load, in the early part of July, 1814. In attempt- ing to go inside of the island No. 61, below the river St. Francis, she grounded, about the 14th of July, and the water falling fast, the voyage was defeated. She returned, by a rise of water, in December, 1814, and was put into requisition by General Jackson; but, in starting up the river for wood, she grounded on the Batture, and became of no use to the government. In the years 1815-16, she took the place of the " Orleans" in the Natchez trade. In the summer of 1816, she was partially burnt opposite to New Orleans, but was rebuilt, made several trips to the Falls, and, finally ended her days in the Natchez trade, in 1820.
The steamboat " Enterprise," of about 100 tons, (not of Fulton's construction,) next made her appearance at New Orleans, from Browns- ville, in the winter of 1814-15. She returned to Pittsburgh in the spring of 1815, being the first steamboat that ascended the Mississippi and Ohio. The next was the " ÆEtna," of 360 tons ; length, 153 feet 3 inches ; breadth 28 feet ; and 9 feet depth of hold. She was built by Fulton & Livingston, at Pittsburgh, and owned by the heirs of Ro- bert Fulton and Robert M. Livingston.
There being some want of confidence in steam power to ascend the Mississippi, with a cargo, above Natchez, she was employed in the summer of 1815, towing ships from the lower part of the river to New Orleans ; barges then getting freight, in preference, from New Orleans to the Falls of the Ohio, &c., at eight cents per pound. In the fall of the year 1815, however, the river then being very low, some of the owners of the Atna, and others, made another attempt to ascend with a load, and put in her about two hundred tons-very few passengers- freight at four and a half cents per pound, for heavy, and six cents for light goods. Above Natchez, she had to depend upon drift wood, and occasionally lying-by two and three days, at civilized settlements, get- ting wood cut and hauled; broke a wrought iron water-wheel shaft, near the mouth of the Ohio, and laid at Henderson near fifteen days, trying to weld it ; and, at last, had to end the passage, with one wheel, to Shippingsport, in sixty days. At Louisville, had two shafts cast. Her trip down, with about three hundred tons, at one cent per pound, and a few passengers, was made in seven days. Her next trip up was made early in 1816, under many of the same difficulties, in about thirty days ; and broke the other wrought iron shaft, by drift wood, in ascending the Ohio.
There are now between four and five hundred steamboats on the West- ern waters, measuring from seventy-five to six hundred tons, all of which, generally, can carry much over their tonnage; valued from eight thousand to forty thousand dollars each ; and they ascend the rivers at from seven to fifteen miles per hour, and descend at from ten to eighteen miles, making trips from New Orleans to the Falls, in five to eight days, and down in four to five.
Passengers have lately been brought up in the cabin, at ten and fif- teen dollars, on the best boats ; and freight up at fifteen cents per hun- dred pounds.

A general list of steamboats engaged in the Western navigation, in. cluding several belonging to Mobile, with their tonnage and date of building as near as can be ascertained. Many more are now being built, at Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and intermediate points, and also in this vicinity, their names not yet given, and many of the present list may soon be withdrawn, being unfit for service.
