A New MovE.-It is with great
pleasure that we commend the new
move made by Mr.. S. D. Paschal,
whose business in the manufacture of
carriages has necessitated the erection
Of wharf in the rear of his factory
on the south side of Christiana river.
nearly opposite the foot of West
street. Mr.. Paschal has been turn.
ing out some of the most elegant
carriages that are to be found, of the
very best and durable make, and it is
real pleasure to witness the progress
IN consequence IN his business. The
best thing that can happen for the
commerce of Wilmington y i'll be the
building of wharves on the opposite
side OF he Christiana, a work that is
only the forerunuer of the extension
OF the streets and the hlling up of the
marsh until it rises above the river
banks afier which the whole section
between the Causey and The Christie

set by Mr.. John Kslley's Tammany all
crowd by passing resolution co ndemn-
ing Alderman Seaman and Waite, re-

purpose to continue to act according to
their own judgment.
