thagena, furnishes the following intel
hgence from that place. 1t was re-
ported, though not generally believed,
that BOLIVAR had acceded 10 the earn
est solicitations of the Peruvians to re
main with them, provided he could
obtain the consent Of the Congress of
Colombia. 1t was supposed in case
this arrangement was. adopted, that
Gen. Santander would be elected Pre-
sident Of Colombia, and Gen. Month
Ia Vice President.
1t was reported that Admiral Padil-
Ia, the officer who nobly signalized
himself at the taking of Maracaibo,
was to take command Of an expedition
lifting out to aid the Mexicans in the
capture Of the Castle Of Juan de Uloa,
at Vera Cruz. Two briggs and three
schooners had been purchased and
were fitting out for that purpose.

For qHE WdTcRMAN.

Mr.. Wilson, am not little astonished that
the citizens OF our Borough should manifest such
culpabe apathy with regard to the election which is
take place Tuesday next for town officers.
Perhaps their indifference may be partly attributed
ing before the Council, an ordinance to prohibit the
sole OF meat from carts attending our market, in any
quantity less Than quarter A person with half an
eye may see the evil consequences that would resut
from the Adoption of such arbitrary measure. 1t
would drive the country butchers from market, and
give the town butchers an opportunity, II so dispo-
sed, oi extortlo. Many customers, valuable to the
siore-keepeIs IN the Borough, would be driven to
make their pui chases elsewhere 1t would be the
foundation Tor a market house in the village Of
Brandy vine, which certainly would not be The most
advantageous thing in the WORLD Tor Wilmington
and might state many other detrimental effects
which The passage OF such an ordinance would pro.
dsce That il ,ctH pass, without change is made
in the members of Council, at the next election,
there is no doubt. ! am informed by very good au~
thoty that there ale but three or four members Of
the present Council opposed 10 it, and that the only
eason why it has not already passed. is, that the
election for new Council will be held, before the
ordinance in question could be made law accor.
ding to the charter Of The Borough
Some measure, should be taken to ascertain the
names OF thuse persons who are so disposed to In.
lure the general interest; and hope that all The
voters ia gu, beautiful and flour ishing town, will APP
pear "a, the polls Tuesday next, and exercise the
privilege vested In them OF changing their servants
when they cease to perform their duty ]; and that
they will SUBSTITUTE in their stead, men who will la
Dor 10 promote The PUBLIC GOOD.

MIR. WILsoa--As the election for officers to d.
rect the affairs of Borough, is fast approaching,
would suggest to my fellow citizens, the proptiey
of mquliing whether those to whom they intend
giving their sufrages favorable 10 the passage Of
an ordinance lately pettioned for the object OF which
is to prevent persons from the country selling cut
OF their carts less quantity Of meat than a quar-
teri!
For some reason the ordinance did not pass, al
though it had its friends in the council but 10.
derstand it is the intention Of the petitioners 10 use
the most strenuous exertions to elect men who are
favorable to their views, aud unless they NEE viii,
that opposition which the measure richly deserves,
we shall be oppressed to degree beyond ole,a-
ton.
am poor mechanic, and, because cannot az
ford to purchase so much quarter OF meat at
one time. am to pay to the monopolists one, two,
three cents per pound more for meat, than

The regulations of our Market are already, in
some cases, too for Instance. poor negro
woman recently sat at corner opposite to the Mar.
