The Daily Cincinnati Republican, And Commercial Register

Mobile is advancing rapidly to importance, and promises to be, at an early day, one of the leading cities of the South. The following glance at its improvement, present and prospective, is from the Register of the 18th ult:

The confirmation which seven years of uninterrupted health has given to the salubrity of Mobile; the excellence of its police—the air of neatness in its dwellings in the city and suburbs—together with the advantages of trade, steadily and rapidly increasing with the population of the State, have induced an accession to our population this season, much beyond the anticipations of the most sanguine among us.

We are informed that several merchants have arrived, who have ordered goods, and are unable to find stores in which to expose them for sale. Real estate has advanced in some situations, more than 100 per cent. in 12 months, and the general advance in building lots and in rents, has more than averaged 50 per cent since the last season. Numerous buildings for stores and dwelling houses are being erected, to the order of lessees already engaged.—The waters, too, have anticipated their usual rise by six weeks, and have, so much, advanced the delivery of the planter's crops, which command a liberal price. In short, Mobile, and the State of Alabama, may safely challenge a comparison with any portion of the Union, in prosperity, present or prospective.
