Dr. J. Merritt was called to the chair, and Julian Janvier appointed Secretary. Geo. Gray, Esq., in a few explanatory remarks, etated the neces sity of the proposed improvement and a resolu tion, That the meeting deems it advisable that legis lation should be procured authorizing the town of New Castle to pledge its credit to the amount of $50,000 for the purpose of aiding in the erec tion of water works, if the people of the town shall decide by a popular vote to do so. Wm. C. Spruance, Esq , proposed an amend ment. That a committee of three be appointed by the chair to apply to the Legislature for an act au thorizing the Trustees of New Castle Common to raise by mortgage or other pledge—of the Com mon Land—such sum not exceeding $50,000 as may be necessary to erect water works for the benefit of the town. After considerable discussion of the benefit of the Lands to the town, a committee of three (George Gray, James o:Shaw and Edward Chal lenger) were appointed to give notice to the citi zens that an adjourned meeting would be hold in the Court House on Tuesday evening, March 9th, 1869, for the purpose of discussing and acting on the above resolution and amendment. DELAWARE 811 AD.—Quite a large number of men in this city are shad fishermen during the shad season. About the 20th of March they go down the river to meet the shad and proceed at once to business. They go in boats and take small houses with them which they plant along the shore, and which they occupy as dwellings while not at work. Heretofore the first shad caught have been sent by daily line to Philadel phia,where they command at retail a very high price, though Most of the profits have gone into the hands of commission men. The fishermen would obtain but $3O per hundred for shad that readily retailed at $1 a piece. The first fish brought to Wilmington had first been sent to Philadelphia and passed through the hands of the commission man; thus shad caught by our own fishermen, and sold by them at $3O per hundred, were returned to us and retailed here at three times the price. But this year we learn that a daily boat will connect this city with the fisheries from the earliest part of the season to the latest; so we may expect to buy early shad on better terms than heretofore. We think our shad eaters will feel satisfied with this arrangement, as well as our shad catchers; whilst the Philadelphia middlemen may not have cause for congratulation. We hope the fisher men may begin soon, and bring on the shad. Wilmington Commercial. Rejection Of the Alabama Treaty—Bl fact in England. The London correspondent of the New York Tribune writes : "The news of the adverse report of the Senate Committee on the Alabama treaty, fell like a thunderbolt on the dull ear of the slow minded English public. Against probabilities and against evidence they hive continued to hope for a ratLficatioh, and persisted in believing Mr. Reverdy Johnson's protestations, long atter he and his work had been repudi ated at home. The waking from' such a delu sion is not pleasant, and it is no cause for sur prise that it should be accompanied by an out burst of petulance, even from those who have ordinarily been the clear-sighted friends of the country which in this matter they so completely misunderstood. The journals and the more pri vate sources or organs et opinion, agree in de claring that America has missed a great oppor tunity, which is not likely to recur; that, at any rate, England has done her utmost to secure an agreement, and that all future propositions must come from the other side." —Traveling in Vermont has been marked by some novel incidents this winter. A Montpelier entleman, on his way with horse and sleigh and hired man for a place twenty miles distant, was near his destination when the horse stepped out of the path and was instantly burled in the snow. The hired man, jumping out to rescue the horse, found himself in the same fix as the horse, except his head and shoulders. His employer with as tonishment shouted, "Do you touch bottom?" After a short struggle and some excitement, his reply was, "No, I am standing on the top rail of a fence--at least five feet from the bottom." They had the good luck to escape from the unpleasant predicament and return borne. —The tea plant is in successful cultivation some ten miles from Knoxville, on the farm of Captain James Campbell, where it has been grown for about ten years. It le said that East mimeo tea drinkers cin easily raise their own tea with very little cost r,trouble. The plant is a deep evergreen shrub, god grows about five feet high. It is hardy, and needs no protection from irosts. It bears an abundant crop, with beautiful fragrant flowers, in October. The fol lowing season it matures a seed, somewhat re sembling the seed of our native hazel, and grows up readily. The vigor and hardiness of this plant, and its adaptation to the climate, have been tested. The tea produced from the leaves of the pistil very much resembles in flavor the tea from Young Hyman plant. —The French Senate receives all sorts of cari ous petitions. A number of peasants in the Landes Department ask the Senate to apply to the Pope with the request to canonize the Em press for the heroism she displayed at the cholera hospitals of Amiens in the summer of 1865. A notary public of Carcassonne petitions for the restoration of feudal nobility. A spinster lady prays for a law making the malicious killing of eats and dogs a felony. Several old soldiers on half pay petition for the erection of large bronze statues of Napoleon I. at the chief town of every department. Few of these curious petitions are ever reported upon by the committee on peti tions. —When the Princess Alexandra, consort of the Prince of Wales, arrived at Korsoer, during her recent trip to Denmark, the King and Queen, her parents, awaited her at the landing. The poor lady seemed to have grown twenty years older since she had lett Copenhagen in 1868, and her mother shed tears as she saw her painfully and slowly stepping ashore. Not a word passed be tween her and her parents for several minutes after she had embraced them, the Queen trying to restrain her teals, and the King hold►ng out the hands of his daughter In his own, and gazing tenderly at her. He then lifted her into the car riage, handed the Queen into it, took his little grandson on his lap, and drove away with them CI EN :4 • a all Foil g PORT OF FJEULADELPIAL&—Manua 9. rfrrITTZPV/in ,,r %ij ARRIVED TH.I3 DAY.
