A third Professor-that of Oriental and Biblical Literature, and an assistant Teacher of the Greek and Hebrew languages, will, it is expected, be added to the seminary at the ensuing session.
The students have access, free of expense, to the extensive and valuable library and reading-rooms of the Young Men's Mercantile Library Association.
The session opens annually on the first Monday of September.
If the progress of this institution shall correspond with its com- mencement, it will become one of the most flourishing in the U. S.
One feature peculiar to this theological seminary is novel, no buildings being contemplated to be erected, either as lodging-rooms to the students, or lecture-rooms for the professors. The professors who all hold pastoral charges, will lecture and hear recitations in their own church lecture-rooms; and the students will be boarded in the community at large.
This will enable them to acquire that knowledge of human nature which is one great requisite to their future usefulness, and still preserve them within the pure safeguards and salutary restraints of the family circle.
ST. XAVIER SEMINARY is an edifice recently erected upon the hill west of Cincinnati, and commands one of the best views of the city. The edifice is completed, but the classes of students have not been organized as yet.
LAW SCHOOL :
The Law School of the Cincinnati College was founded in 1833 by John C. Wright, Edward King, and Timothy Walker. In 1835, it was made a department of the college. The number of students each year, has ranged from 17 to 34. The present faculty consists of Charles P. James, late Judge of the Superior Court of Cincinnati; M. H. Tilden, late President Judge of the 13th Judicial Circuit of Ohio, and M. E. Curwen of the Cincinnati Bar. The course em- braces a period of eight months ; from the 23d of September to the 1st of June. A certificate from the institution, entitles the holder to admission to the bar in Ohio, without the usual examination.

Students can have access, for the purpose of reference, to several thousand volumes of law books, sufficient for all practical purposes, free of charge.
CINCINNATI MERCANTILE COLLEGE, south-east corner of Walnut and Fifth Streets; R. S. Bacon, Principal.
This is an academy chartered by the Ohio Legislature in 1851, in which the pupils are taught book-keeping, penmanship, the prin- ciples of commercial law, and are thus prepared to engage as account- ants, in mercantile or general business.
The system under which these students are instructed, is both analytic and synthetic. It is the taking in pieces, as a study, a com- plicated but exact machine, to contemplate and learn the relations of the several parts to each other, and to the entire machine, and the putting it together to make it operate accurately, and without impediment.
This school enrolls 130 pupils. E. F. Burk, T. T. Ingalls, Assistants ; H. Snow, lecturer on Commercial Law.
ST. XAVIER COLLEGE-Sycamore, between Fifth and Sixth Streets.
This is an incorporated institution, belonging to the Roman Catholics, with extensive library, museum, and philosophical and chemical apparatus.
There are from fifteen to twenty teachers engaged in the instruc- tion of two hundred and forty-two scholars; of these scholars, one hundred and four are boarders, principally from distant places. The officers and teachers of the college are :---

SEMINARIES.
CINCINNATI FEMALE SEMINARY-M. Coxe and J. C. Zachos, Principals.
This institution was established in this city, in the spring of 1843, by Miss M. Coxe. It steadily increased in strength and num- bers until, in 1850, it had one hundred and twenty pupils, and ten teachers in employment.
This institution has maintained, ever since it commenced, a higher tone and more liberal scope in its range of study and mental disci- pline, than most others. The methods of instruction are chiefly oral, making use of text-books as auxiliaries to an elaborate and well digested system of lectures. Of these, as well as of their text-books, the pupils take notes, and reproduce subjects from time to time in extempore lectures or elaborate compositions. The pupil is required to study, pen in hand, all the time, and thus exhibit tangible evi- dence of progress.
In this system appropriate facilities are afforded for all characters and capacities. It encourages the timid, stimulates the indolent, and gives full scope to the strong and willing in the same class, and at the same time. It repudiates the common-place routine, with its feeble results, which prevails in ordinary schools, and infuses a new spirit into both teacher and pupils.
The grand principle which pervades this mode of education, is, that the pupils are not so much learning a lesson, as mastering a subject.
R. & H. H. YOUNG'S ACADEMY.
This is a High School in a very flourishing condition, which is kept on Plum, between Seventlı and Eighth Streets, on the second and third floors of a building erected for the purpose, and of rare adaptation to its objects, as regards ventilation and light. It num- bers sixty pupils.
The range of studies in this academy is comprehensive, embracing ancient and modern languages, mathematics, and the more import- ant of the English branches. The Bible is a text-book in daily use, and its precepts and truths are inculcated as the only system of sound morals.

IV. SOCIAL STATISTICS.
DWELLING-HOUSES AND STORES.
THE first recorded enumeration of the buildings of Cincinnati, was made in July, 1816, when they were found to number 1070: of stone, 20; of wood, 800; and of brick, 250. Of these, 660 were tenanted by families ; 410 public buildings, shops, warehouses, and offices, making up the residue.
In March, 1819, the dwellings and warehouses of the city were again numbered, and found to be :
Of brick and stone, two, three, and four stories 387
Do. do. one story . 45
Of wood, two or more stories 615
Do. one story 843
1890
Of these were dwelling-houses 1003
Shops, warehouses, and public buildings 887
The next enumeration of houses was made by Messrs. Drake and Mansfield, for their publication, " Cincinnati in 1826," toward the close of that year, when there were found 18 stone, 936 brick, and 1541 frame buildings. Of these, 650 were one story, 1682 two stories, and 163 three and four stories in height; making an aggre- gate of 2495 tenements, being all places of abode or business. In all these statements, every description of out-building is excluded, and no additions to houses previously erected are taken into ac- count.
The following list, transcribed from official reports, furnishes the buildings of 1827 and 1828 :

This statement shows that Cincinnati has been increasing for the past twenty-five years, at an average rate, which doubles its build- ings every nine years. At the same time, the private dwellings and public buildings, in value, convenience, and style of finish, and the warehouses in the space they occupy in the ground, as well as in their increased number of stories, if we survey those erected during the last five years, surpass their predecessors in a far greater ratio.
The buildings constructed in New York during the last ten years, are officially stated at 16,409. Those of Cincinnati, for the same period of time, number 9505. In view of the relative population of these cities, the progress of improvement in Cincinnati, is three times that of the great atlantic metropolis.
It may be also remarked, that, though there appears a slight fall- ing off in the buildings of 1850, from those of 1849, there have been ten per cent. more bricks laid here in 1850, than in 1849; and nearly twenty per cent. more than in any year previous. This is owing to the greater number of churches, extensive warehouses and business offices on a large scale, which have entered into the erec- tions of 1850.
It is worthy of notice, also, that while in 1815 the brick buildings were but 22 per cent. of the whole, they now form three-fifths, or 60 per cent. of all the buildings in Cincinnati.
There is no city in the world of equal or greater size to ours, in which so large a share of the community are property holders.
The number of individuals, in Cincinnati, who own the houses they occupy, is 5360, who, therefore, constitute more than one-third of the voters. This important fact, is at once the cause and the con- sequence of the progress and prosperity of Cincinnati.
The hope and prospect of securing a permanent home, is a most important stimulus to industry and frugality, as its possession is to the maintenance of family happiness and the culture of public spirit, and the tendency here is constantly to the division, rather than to the accumulation of city estates.
