LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Census.-We hope when the census in
this State is taken for the year 1850, that the
census OF the towns and villages in the State
will be taken as well as the hundreds. VIII
mingion is the only city or town in the State
The census Of whose population has been taken.
Urea, mistakes are consequently made in the
maps. Dover, they have placed in he map al
5000 inhabitants, when il does not contain
over 900. Next TO Wilmington, the two lar.
gest towns in our state, are Milford and Smyr.
ma. Milford we should think contained be
tween and 5000 inhabitants, while Smyrna
we should suppose contained about 500. New
Castle, Caniwell's Bridge, Camden, Frederick
AID Middleiown, we estimate as being the nexi
largest towns in the State should suppose they
contained from nine TO twelve hundred inhab.
ilants each.
Marine Rail Road.-Mr. Jonathan Zebley

hauled out Of the water, and their bottoms re

other day at the edge toole mandatory o
friend Thomson, in Fifth ST. between Kim

siness in that line, and his tools are highly
spoken Of. He is, we believe, the only edg,
