SOMETHING NEW IN WILMINGTON.

An Equestrian Company have visited our Borough
and erected temporary Circus, in which they are
performing, to the qualification of large numbers Of
our citizens, to many of whom this species Of
tanmcnt is entirely new. The first perfol nance
was on "Wednesday evening, when the boxes and
pit were filled to overlooking, with the most respec-
table inhabitants of the Borough and vicinity, who
were highly delighted with the mastery manner in
which the Company acquitted themselves.
However astonishing it may appear to the citizens
of other places, Wilmington, with population of
six or seven thousand, does not possess single
place Of amusement and The present attempt is the
first effort of the kind, that has been made here.

their liberal indulgence to my public services Such
an interview with the citizens Of Baltimore to whom

without diversion from any public duties Of my own
