The heavy gale, accompanied S. it was
by binding rain, profed effectual in
stopping nearly all navigation on the
Delaware. The Maritime Exchange wire
to the Delaware Break water was in
trouble all day, and no news could be
obtained from that point. All the tug
boats are anchored down bslow, and it Is
stated that much damage to shipping
may be anticipated, as the Breakwater Is
poor protection to vessels in such q
northeaster, as the wind would drive the
sea directly over the stone pile The
wrecking tug North America has left for
the Breakwater to be on hand in case OF
necessity.
The storm was very rough at Lewes
and seafaring men consider the total
escape of shipping from damage, in that
vicinity, as remarkable. Two ships, q
barkentine ard ten schooners were
anchored near the BreGkwater during the
gale. Some Of them dragged their anchors,
but fortunately they were not near one
another and no damage was done. The
storm washed a seal up Lewes Creek and
it was shot by John Holland, yesterday
afternoon, after hundreds of shots had
been fired at it by an excited crowd.
At Lancaster, Pa, large frame build.

commotion while ii lasted which was less

The citizens of Chester have publicly
protested against the leasing OF the
Market street wharf, that city, to the
Wilmington Steamboat Company
for ten Years. The Public Property Com

TO refuse the lease. but the latter body
indefinitely postponed action on the
matter. The committee says
that the only way the best
interest of the city can be sab
served is by charging rental that Is
fair TO all parties concerned, instead Of
restricting the wharf to any one steam
boat line.
A representative Of the Wilmington
Steamboat Company was seen this after
noon and made the following statement:
I'VE have been renting the Market
street wharf at Chester by the

we have concluded that 1t would be best
for us to secure the exclusive use OF the

have accordingly made the city a
