We noticed several days ago that petition was
being circulated asking the Legislature to author
lie the construction Of new bridge across the
Chrstiaila al Third Street. In opposition to the
movement, remonstrance is being freely signed
IL states AZ follows;--
That the location Of the proposed Bridge Is
such that the citizens Of the county would derive
but little advantage from it, the pr. sent one being

And further. That the capacity Of the present
existing bridge oyei tile Christiana River, AT the
! foot Of Market Street in the City ot Wilmington,
is equal TO the accommodation OF three times the
present travel over il, which now is as great, if
not greater, than at any former period.
And further That TO our knowledge, no ac-
citlent has occurred To- or ON the present Bridge
that has in any way injured any one attempting
TO cross; neither have passengers sustained amy
loss from detention while it was undergoing re-
pairs.

ROBBERY AT CHEsrER.--Th post office at Ches-
ter entered by burglars, on Friday night last,
and all the letters IL contained-over thousand
in number-were broken open and ritied of their
contents. The building is new one, erected at
the expense of the city, and has been occupied
but few weeks. The robbers effected an en-
trance through the back door in the building by
bursting off the two bolts and lock by which it
was secured, and went at their work systemat.
ically. After collecting all the letters in the
office, except single one they took them to tho
stove, by the light of which they opened them
strewing the envelopes over the floor and on til,
stove, portion of the latter being burnt ant
