Three of these will be for the W., C. & A Railroad and the other two for the W. & W. ' Railroad. The engines tobe built wilt be of the same pattern and design as those already com pleted, and will be considerably larger than any heretofore in use upon either of the roads named.

Gallos way lias secured the right of way over toe lands lying between the two points in question, but as to Jwhen the road will be constructed, we are unable to inform our readers, as Capt. Galloway re.'uses to be interviewed on the subject. Big Windows. The mammoth French plate glasses for the window? of Messrs. Brown & Rod dick's new store on Front street have arrived. The largest measure 11 feet G inches in height by 7 feet 10 inches in width, aud are considerally larger than any In the cSity, and we doubt if there are any larger in the South, this side of New Orleans. Workmen were engaged to day in getting them inside the building and nnpacking them,- and it will be assumed that the ponderous nlatp wpt( handled with care to nre vent breakage. Theatrical. The music-loving portion ot our. peo ple have a rare treat in store for them. Ou the 18th of October next, Miss Minnie Hank, with her own selected company of artists, w ill gjive a grand operatic concert, in which she will give selections from the most celebrated operas in character and costume- She is one of the celcbritie's of the operatic stage whose acting jand vocalization have stood the test, of the most severe criticism iu the large cities ;ot this country as well as in Europe, and we may expect from her and her company such a musical treat as it has seldom if ever been the good fortune of our people to hear in Wilmington.

He tells us that he expects next week, in addition to his present stock j of musical instruments, a large lotof pianos and organs, which j will certainly give his music department a most complete ap pearance.
