Thus far, this year, 30t new buildings have
been built, or commenced, in Wilmington. The
estimate for the year is 500, but We now fear
that 80 large a number will hardly be put up.
Three good building months remain, however,
and we may expect to make the total for 1873

MADRID, Aug. 2.
Many persons who joined the insurrection in
the South, now favor the independence of the
cantons and have abandoned the cause in con-
sequence Of excesses committed by the Insur-
gents during the occupancy of Seville by the In
surrectionists.
Many buildings in various quarters were set on
fire. a number of stores were plundered of their
contents and the conduct of Gen. Cantreras in
bombarding the defenceless town of Seville
produced an immense reaction throughout the
county in favor of the national Government
The Government is informed that command
ers of the English, French and Geaman squan-
drons have declared to hold Gen. Conteras as
hostage until the captured vessels are re-
turned.

To MAuoH CHUNK AND GLEN 0NoKo. For
wARD!-There are in Wilmington many people
who have never beheld the beauties of Mauoh
Chunk, but more who have not yet visited Glen
Onoko. This may arise from many reasons
chief among which are the expensiveness of the
trip and the time which it must occupy. But
sbould these obtain any longer? On Thursday
next. Mr.. p. Il. E. Smith makes his annual ex-
cursion to both places, giving excursionists sew
eral hours in each-ample to see the principal
attractions of the one and all those OF the other.
Besides, ride over the famous Switchbaek rail-
road will be afforded each one. And all this for
$3.50! Who ever expects to see Mauch Chunk
and Glen Onoko cheaper? Who would sec it
for less money! The opportunity is the only
one of the season, the cost is tritlng compared
with the pleasure which will be felt, and for the
credit of the city we hope that not less than a
Thousand persons will turn their faces Mauch
