ROLLING MIILs-pRosPEcTfvE COOPERATIVE CAR
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF THE TOWN.
First, Wilmington enjoyed the notoriety of
monopolizing early all the manufactures of the
State, but now the honors, it seems, are to be
divided and the outlying suburbs, which, in re-
allty, are but part of the city, are now receiv-
ing that attention which they properly deserve
as cheap and desirable locations for the erection
and carrying on OF large manufactures. no.
table instance of this il the awakening of New
port from its Rip Van Wrinkle sleep Of century
or more and revivlng itself for the maintenance
OF large manufacturing enterprises to be located
there. The buildings for Marshall's new rolling
mills are already up, and houses have been built
for the wOrkmen, 80 that soon the hum OF re-
volving wheels and the ringing of the sledge
hammers will be heard in that hitherto quiet
and antiquated old town.
Upon the heels Of this enterprise, which, OF
itself is an important era to the Newporters.
comes the report that the cooperative car works
are almost certain to be established there.
Coatesyille, Oxford, Kennett Square, iAvondale
and other places, heretofore mentioned in this
connection, have all been abandoned, not fol
want Of very many advantages which they pos
sessed, but for want of water communication,
which these towns have not, and which Newport
has in abundance. 1t is said to be now almost
certain that the company will locate their works
there, unless something unforG seen happens moi
yet contemplated.
In view of these projected enterprises the
people OF Newport have applied to the Legisla-
tnre, now in session, for an act Of Incorporation
for tho town. An act of that kind was passed
some years ago bnt was never carried into effect
on account of lapse of time.
These evidences Of prosperity are gratifying
and we are glad to see Newport shaking off the
musty garments.of antiquity and clothing herself

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

A bill introduced by Senator stockley, of sus-
sex, repeats Section 10, Chapter 5S7, Vol. 10,
Delaware Laws. The section gives the Legisla-
ture power to regulate the rates of fare and
freight charges on the Junction d Breakwater
Railroad.
The Milford Ne,os demands to know whether
the burden of taxation is to be reduced. IL has
demonstrated, 1t says, that the revenue is far in
excess OF what is necessary.
The Levy Court Of Kent county has demanded
SlS,O00, as the price of the countys share in the
State House, but the Joint committee Of the two
Houses instructed their subcommittee to offer
$4,000, which the Levy Court, it Is understood,
have accepted. The sum required for tho ne
cessary improvements Is variously estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000.
There is evident among the members of both
Houses, a change OF feeling on the question OF
the Usury Law, and II is the general opinion
that thr prospect is improved for having the
law modified.
A resolution has passed both Houses provid-
ing that the Commissioners appointed to settle
the fisheries dispute with New Jersey shall not
reopen the question of Jurisdiction, as to the
~ mile circle, which, it is considered, was set
tied by the Pea-Patch decision.

ITS FIRST TRIAL, YESTERDAY, IN MARSH LANE.
The Reliance Fire Co.'s new steamer, received
on Thursday, was tested, yesterday afternoon,
with reference to it's capacity, for the first time.
The trial was made In Marsh Lane, on the
South side, at the first sluce DITCH under the
superintendent of Edward Davis, agent, and
MIR. Teller, an engineer in the employ of the
Silsby 90. And in the presence of large
crowd OF persons.
In less than five minutes from the time the
fire was first kindled, more than 80 pounds Of
steam were made, and even in three minutes af-
ter the kndling of the fire sufficient quantity
Of steam had accumulated to Tun.the machinery.
The best effort was chat OF throwing a stream OF
water through 90 feet of hose, and u inch noz-
zle, 255 feet under 100 pounds of steam. Under
pressure Of from 80 to 100 lbs of steam, q
stream OF water could readily be thrown 200
feet, without any strain upon the machinery.
An important feature about the Silsby steamer
ID the manner in which it holds its steam. 1t is
all easy matter, with it. to throw continuous
stream of water, a long distance, for any length
of time desired There is no need OF corking up
the steam to make an extra squirt of minutes
duration, and then fall back to a much shorter
distance, but having attained the needed disc
lance, the water can BIO thrown upon this spot
any length Of time.
The weather, of yesterday. was disadvantage
GUS to a successful trial, 30 the agent said and
another test will be made some time to-day.
AS has been stated, the Reliance steamer is of
the Silsby patent, and second class. 1t is fur
nished with the rotary engine, and is, we believe
the only one of the kind in the department.
Hence it is very steady in its movement, without
the jumping motion Of cylinder engines. The
boiler is of Clapps patent, circulating tubulars,
covered with Jacket of german silver and prin-
GEES metal. The wheels are entirely OF iron, and
made on the suspension plan-that is, the hubs
arc very long and the spukes alternate from. eth
Ell end in their projection to the felloes. Great
o,,I FOE
tern. In appearance, this steamer is not mani
testify unlike other steamers now in the depart
ment and ID neat and very handsome. 1t weighs
about 5000 pounds and cost $500.

AN ESTABLISHMENT TO MAKE LOCKS AND HAsPs.
The Milford Neeos, which recently described
an ingenious lock and hasp combination, which
has lately been patented, says the owner of the
patent Mr. Woodward, assisted by Mr.. Ramsey,
is about organizing a joint stock company to
manufacture the article in Wilmington. The
proposed capital il S10O,000 and the favor with
which the invention is regarded leads the pro-
jectors to expect that that amount can be soon
raised. They have selected Wilmington, as a
location, on account OF the convenience Of pro
curing the coal and iron, and also for the faci-
ties Afforded of shipping the product.
