The har- bor is safe and capacious, of a depth sufficient to float ships of the largest class. This place was first settled in 1729, when it took the name of Baltimore, " in compliment to the Proprietary, whose ancestor took the title of Baron from a seaport of the same name in Ireland." In 1796, a city charter was granted by the legislature of the state ; it then contained about 20,000 inhabitants. In 1840, the popula- tion of the city was 102,513. The rapid growth of Baltimore in wealth and numbers, has been principally owing to its great natural advantages, and the enterprise of its inhabitants. It is about 200 miles from the ocean, and 300 miles from the navigable waters of the Ohio river, — this being the most accessible point of com- munication between the seaboard and the great valley of the Mississippi. The completion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will always secure to this place a fair proportion of the trade of the west. The streets are mostly laid out at right angles, and the public buildings, stores, and dwellings are principally constructed of brick, in a neat and durable style. This place is noted for its monuments and shot-towers, which rise to a gi'eat height. Here also are constructed some of the finest and fastest sailing vessels that bear the Amer- ican flag, — the " Baltimore Clippers" being admired by all naval architects. This is a great mart for all kinds of West India goods, lumber, wheat, and tobacco, the latter articles being exported in large quantifiers. Fort M'Henry, situated on a point of land 2 miles below the centre of the city, is a strong fortification. PRINCIPAL HOTELS IN BALTIMORE. Proprietors. Location. American Hotel, H. M.

The traveller, during tiie season of -navigation, has a choicts of three I nes between Baltimore and Philadelphia ; first, by steamboat and railroad route, passing through Chesupeako bay, and crossing the state of Delaware, froai FrenchtowTi to New CasMe, 16 miles, by railroad, — thence up the Dela- ware river to Philadelphia ; second, by one continuous lino of railroad, starting from the depot in Pratt St., Baltimore, and crossing the Susquehanna river at Havre de Grace by a steam ferry, — thence continuing through the states of Ma- ryland and Delaware, into Pennsylvania, crossing the Schuylkill river at Gray's Ferry, 3 miles from the depot in Market St., Philadelphia ; or, via the Baltimore and Susque- hanna and the Columbia Railroads. BALTIMORE AND PHILADELPHIA STEAMBOAT CO. (formerly ERICSSON STEAMBOAT LINE,) Convey merchandise, produce, packages, horses, car- riages, furniture, and goods of all kinds, between Baltimoro and Philadelphia, at the lowest rates, without transhipment, and with railroad dispatch, by substantial steamboats, under the command of experienced and skilful masters. Passengers are also comfortably accommodated by tho above lines. A boat leaves Philadelphia daily, (except Sun- days,) at 3 o'clock, and Baltimoro at half past 2 o'clock. Goods are received at either city at all hours of the day, RAILROAD ROUTE FROM BALTIMORE TO PHILADELPHIA. On leaving Baltimore for Philadelphia, 97 miles, by rail- road, (fare, ^4,) the cars start from the depot in Pratt St., and run to Canton, 3 miles. Here is afforded a fine view of the har- bor of Baltimore, and Fort M' Henry, situated on the south shore. Stemmer's Run, 10^ miles from Baltimore, is the next stopping place. Gunpowder Depot, 20 miles, is on the north side of tha stream of the same name, which forms a wide branch or arm of Chesapeake bay, being about 1 mile across. Dw-^ 20 RAILROAD ROUTE. ring cold weather, here are usually found large quantities of ducks of various kinds, which frequent the waters of the Chesapeake. The most celebrated for their delicacy and fine flavor, are the canvass-backs and red-necks ; then come the blue-wings, the shufliers, and the teal. The first are said to feed on wild celery, which gives them their peculiar flavor, so much esteemed by epicures. Busii River, 8 miles further, is another wide stream, crossed by a railroad bridge, elevated a few feet above the water. Havre de Grace, 37 miles from Baltimore, and CO miles from Philadelphia, is a place of considerable importance. Here the Susquelianna river, about half a mile wide, is crossed by means of a large steam ferry-boat. The baggage cars are run on top, while the passengers change cars, and pass over the river in a spacious cabin, or saloon, where re- freshments are usually furnished. About 15 minutes are taken up in crossing the river, giving time for a hasty meal. Northeast, 9 miles from Havre de Grace, is passed on the right, a short distance from the road. Elkton, 52 miles from Baltimore, and 45 miles from Philadelphia, is situated on the west side of Elk river, which is navigable to this place. Newark, Del., G miles further, is a pleasant place, situated a short distance west of the railroad. Newport, 8 miles further, is a scattered settlement. . Wilmingtox, 70 miles from Baltimore, and 27 from Phil- adelphia, is situated on Christiana creek, a navigable tribu- tary of the Delaware river, or bay, and 3 miles above its confluence. This is the principal place in the state of Del- aware, both in numbers and commercial importance, and is rapidly increasing. The population in 1840, was 8,367. A steamboat runs daily between Wilmington and Philadelphia About one mile north of Wilmington, the railroad crosses Brandy wine on which stream was fought a sanguinary battle between the Americans and English during the revolu- tionary war. Marcus Hook, Penn., 10 miles from Wilmington, is pleas- antly situated on the west bank of the Delaware, which is here about one mile wide. Chester, 3 miles further, is another pleasant village, and has a steamboat landing. The Lazaretto for Philadelphia, situated near the river, 13 next passed on the right. PHILADELPHIA. 21 Fort Mifflin, 2 or 3 miles further north, is situated on an island, and commands the approach to Philadelphia by water. Gray's Ferry, across the Schuylkill, where is now erect- ed a bridge, is 3 miles from Philadelphia. Here it is usual for the locomotive to stop, the passenger cars being drawn into the city by horse power. On the approach to Philadelphia from this quarter, can bo seen the Almshovse for the city and county, situated on the west side of Schuylkill river ; the U. S. Arsenal and Marine Hospital, on the east side ; the Eastern Penitentiary, and Girard's College in the distance, towards the north. From the top of the last building, which is a truly noble structure, may be seen the. city of Philadelphia and the surrounding countr}', to great advantage. PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia, 88 miles from New York, 97 miles from Baltimore, and 137 miles from Washington, in lat. 39° 56' 51" N., and long. 1° 46' 30" E. from Washington, ranks, in extent, population, trade, and general importance, as the sec- ond city in the Union. Its principal front is on the west bank of the Delaware river, 105 miles above the mouth of Delaware bay, and it extends back 2 miles to the river Schuylkill. The largest ships can come up to Philadelphia, from which the distance across the Delaware, to Camden, N. J., is about one mile. The Schuylkill unites with the Delaware about 7 miles below the city, and is navigable for brigs and schooners as far up as the permanent bridge, where it is about 500 feet wide. Philadelphia is laid out with great regularity, with numerous squares, and with streets which cross each other at right angles. The city proper, consid- ered as distinct from its adjoiniug suburbs, is bounded, north by Vine st., and south by Cedar st. The suburbs called Kensington, the Northern Liberties, and Spring Garden, on the north side, and Southwark and Moyamensing on the south side, occupy, with the city proper, a compactly built area of 3 square miles, containing, in 1840, a population of 220,423 souls. The streets, the principal ones 112 feet wide, and the subordinate ones 50 feet wide, are generally well / (22 PHILADELPHIA. paved, and bordered by roomy side--\valks laid with brick, all kept remarkably clean. The houses, generally of brick, with white marble steps, and window-sills, and lintels, are very uniform and commodious, and present an aspect of un- usual neatness, elegance, and comfort. Chesnut and Arch Btrcets are among the most agreeable promenades in the United States. The business of the city, especially its foreign and coast- Lig trade, is transacted chiefly on the Delaware side ; though, eince the great development of the coal trade of the interior, l)y means of canals and the improvement of the Schuylkill, wharves and warehouses have been much extended on that eide ; and these improvements, in connection with the rail- road made by the state from Philadelphia to Columbia, and with the Reading and Pottsville railroad, have contributed largely to the extension of all the western section of the The number of houses for public worship, of the various denominations, is about 150, and though generally built in plain and simple style, they are very neat, and some of them elegant and costly. Philadelphia is honorably distinguished for the philanthropic spirit of its inhabitants, and for the num- ber and judicious management of its charitable institutions. Among these, the Pennsylvania Hospital, the various Dis- pensaries, the Almshouses, Orphan Asylums, Institutions for the Deaf and Dumb, the Lunatic Asylum, the Humane So- ciety, the Savings-fund Society, and various other moral, religious, and benevolent establishments, are particularly worthy of notice. The institutions for the promotion of lit- erature, science, and the arts, are also on a highly respecta- ble footing. Among the most prominent and useful of these, are the University of Pennsylvania, the Athenaeum, the Philosophical Society, the Academy of Fine Arts, the Acad- emy of Natural Science, the Franklin Institute, several Li- braries, the Medical Society, the College of Physicians, the College of Pharmacy, the Musical Fund Society, Jefferson Medical College, a Law Academy, &lc. &c. The literary journals, and the daily and weekly newspa- pers, are numerous and of respectable character. The city can also boast of some of the largest publishing houses in the Union ; and its educational means, including not only the ordinary schools, but the higher institutions, for professional as well as general literature, are ample. But the most re- markable institution in the city, both for the extent cf its en- PHILADELPHIA. 23 dowmeut, and the magnificence of its princ"pal edifice, is the Girard College, constructed of wiiite marble, in the richest stjle of architecture, and adorned with columns of the most superb and costly workmanship. This edifice is 218 feet by 160 feet ; and four other buildings, also of marble, are asso- ciated with it, each 125 feet by .52 feet, for the accommoda- tion of professors and pupils. The College grounds form a handsome area of 45 acres, pleasantly situated on the Ridge road, about 2 miles from the centre of the city. On the southern front of the principal edifice, the name and object of the institution are inscribed, in these words: " Girard Col- lege for Orphans, founded A. D. 1833. Southern portico finished, 1844." PRINCIPAL HOTELS IN PHILADELPHIA. American Hotel, City Hotel. Columbia, C(;iigress Hall, Eagle Hotel.
