Improvements at Ne,c Casle.--Ground will
soon be broken for the erection of fifty houses
n. New Castle, for dwellings for the workmer
of Messrs. Tasker x Morris, whom we are in
formed intend moving al their extensive shops
there from Philadelphia. This is merely the ad
vance. 1t is estimated by those who know
that four hundred dwellings will soon be cree
ted there rs they employ about thirteen hun
bred men. The mere building Of the shops
will give an immense amount of labor. TO say
nothing of new machinery that must neces
sarily be erected, This erection of these shops
will more than probably cause the building Of
a passc niger railroad between Wilmington ant
New Castle, and may be the forerunner, Quito
plan as 1t may seem) ia the future, of uniting
them under one municipal government.
