Town Meeting.

The Proceedings Of the meeting heio on
Saturday evening last, will be found IN an
other column. The objects Of that meeting
are vitality important to the citizens of this
place, and we hope all who feel interested
the prosperity of this city will be present
the adjourned meeting on Saturday eve-
ming next, to hear and act upon the Report
of the Committee. The gentlemen on the
committee understand the subject and are
fully competent to lay such statement be-
fore Congress, as will show that Body the
necessity Of doing something for the relief
of our young and thriving city.
We understand that there are about two
hundred lots, held by non.residsnts, for
which no government title has been per-
fected. Many of these are most eligbly
situated in the business part OF town and
would command good price if sold. 1t is
manifest injustice to permit them to remain
as they are. While, by their improvements
our citizens have greatly enhanced the val
70 Of these untitled lots, the city has never
3s yet received cent of revenue from them.
Vhis should not be SO any longer. Such a
ate of things should not be tolerated. If
ye holders Of the certificates Of these lots
S'no concern in the matter, our citizens
While the resident property holders have
to meet many almost insurmountable
stacles in building up and improving the
vn to make it what it now is-while
avy contributions have been voluntarily
ad cheerfully made, and with liberality
which would be credible to rich commu
lily, for wbarves, improving streets, build
ng churches, &c. Sc.-and while they
aave submitted without murmering to ar
enormous taxation-these non resident pro
ecrty holders have been fattening on the
acrihces thus made, without lifting fin
ger TO advance the prosperity of the town
and without ever contributing accent in thu
FAY OF taxation. All can see that our resi-
lent property holders are grievously wrong
in this matter, and we are glad that the
have begun to make some movement ex
pEessiye of their wrong. They have com
menced in the right way, by their determ
nation to appeal to the only legitimat
s2prce for relief If Congress viii not an
yer their petition, after full and fair re-
presentation of the case, and no other pos
ible remedy can be devised, our citizen
may be called on to 60 back to first princi
pies, and re-establish such rules and regu
atoms as will ensure them from being an,
longer injured by those who hold propcrt
among us without contributing any thin,
TO the public veal, for the simple and sol
purpose of specializing and making none,
out of the liberal contributions and sacri
fees Of our resident property holders.

Il tion Of the citizens Of Wilmington and vici
nifty, at considerable expense, erected and put in
operation, Feather Renova;or, for the purpose OF
cleansing and improving feuthers. most respect
fully sollcits their patronage.
The utility Of renovaiing feathers has been test
ted and approved by all who have given /, u fair
and imr ariial trial. forasmuch as ii Tevives old and
sodden feathers, makes them lively and pleasant.
and that without loss Of eathcrs it :lcanses them
from filth and disagrceable smell-kills the moths
and insects which destroys feathcrs--ceanscs the
gum, and hardens the soit Quill ends and makes
them sweet, comfortable and healthy.
The subscriber having considerable experience
in the business, fattcrs himself that he will be
able to give satisfaction to all those who will please
to favor him with their custom.
Any person being disposed 10 make trial of the
experiment, may give him bed, from the poorest
they have, to the best, provided they be goose oil
duck feathers, and if they arc not improved by
the operation, they will be no charge made.
On account Of tile deranged state of business
and scarcity of money, he has reduced the price
during winter o four cents per pound he hopes
therefore, that all who study he l'h and economy.
will call and give him trai,and be assured that
nothing on his part fha be wanting to give salts.

The French Minister.

The French Minister, NJ. Guizot was defeated in
the Chamber of Deputies OIL the Syrian question !;
he however received handsome majority in the
Chamber of Peers. The London Morning Chron-
icle says in regard to this vote:
'The question is certainly not very serious one,
such as at all calls for the resignation of the minis
ter; and the veto was indeed, more against the Com
mission, than against NJ. Guzot But the division
is no less important and omnous as it shows FOG
votes on the side of the Opposition. The same FOG
will, doubt, vote for stronger paragraph the
right Of Search than that Of the Commissioners andin
that case the days of M. Guizots ministry are num-
bered.
