PROPOSED LoCOMoTITE WoRKs.


In our Dover correspondence of to-day
mention is made of IL bill which has been
introduced in the House providing for the
incorporation of the Delaware Locomotive
Manufacturing Company. Among the
corporators are Messrs. Cesar A. Rodney,
Ii. C. Robinson, George w. Stone and
James Bradford. Inquiry of several of
these gentlemen developed the fact that
the act of incorporation is being applied
for more as matter of prospective utili-
cation than for any immediate purpose.
1t has long been felt by large number
Of our business men and others that loco
motive works should be established here,'
but as nothing definite could he done in
the absence of charter, il was thought
advisable to secure at this session of the
Legislature the necessary authority
ahead in case il is desired to do so within
the next two years.
OF course charter could be obtained of
the courts, but for several reasons, chief of
which is that an act secured through the
courts is generally less liberal than one
by the Legislature, the gentleman inter
ested in the matter have preferred to
apply to the latter body.
Nothing at all beyond the determine
ton to ask for a charter has been deter
| mined upon, and rs the whole matter is
one of prospective interest, there is really
very little of definite nature to be stated
concerning it. 1t is generally believed
that there will he no opposition to the
passage Of the bill, since it is one entirely
void of speculative features and is simply
intended to be used as means of devel-
oping in this city an excellent opportunity

LONDON, March 3o.-A dispatch from
Paris dated to-day says; "The Bank of

gold or silver is one which is constantly
exercised by the bank both at Paris and
