Church has been some what retarded in consequence of the delay in furnishing the necessary lum ber as fast as required. At a very small cost, you can get your old shirts repaired, and made as well as new again at the Wilmington Shirt Factory, No. 27 Market street, J. Elsbach. Prop. tf Guy Wright's band made some in spiring music upon our streets this fore noon, calling attention to the fact of the match game of base ball between the Seasides and Durhams this afternoon. The baggage of the Standard Dra matic Company has arrived and the troupe will play at the Opera House to night. "Under the Gaslight" will be the piece which will be presented. The Zanesville, Ohio, lamily Herald, the organ of the Independent Order of Rechabites, gives a glowing account of the recent High Tent meeting in this city and has many kindly words for our G.ty and her people. Does anybody know how many base ball nines there are in this city? It seems to us that every male between 10 and 20 year3 of age, both white and colored, belongs to some nine. There are other bawii3ts, of more tender years Goldsboro proposes to have a regular old-fashioned Fourth of July celebra. tion, in which, among other features of nterest, it is proposed to have a prize contest of fire companies, and to this end they will invite the firemen of Wil mington. Raleigh and Newbern. The two new yachts which arrived on the Regulator vesterday from New York are indeed beauties, and look as t they might sail like the wind. They nave drawn a good deal ol attention during the day to where they were stored in the steamer's sheds, at the oot of Chestnut street. i here vas no City Court this morn- It was decidedly cool last night and this morning.

Saiithville must bo a very quiet, or dcrly, good town, as we can seldom ;v an item of news from that burgh. Don't forgot tha the Standard Dra nia:ic Company make their first ap pearance at the'Opera House this eve- niz. Sieamboatmen report that the water n the Capo Fear is quite low. The rains which have been frequent in this vicinity and in Fender and Sampson counties have not extended to the Cape Fear region in sucn quantities as to materially affect the yolume of water. Notwithstanding the unfavorable ap pearance of the weather, quite a large party ol ladies and gentlemen went down the river on the Passport tnis morning with the excursion of the Ger mania Band. Just before starting the band played several pieces, which, con sidering the time the members have had for practice, were remarkably well rendered. Personal Ex-Attorney-General Thomas S. Kenan is in the city, the guest of his brother, Capt. W. R. Kenan. Mayor Hall has gone to Burgaw to day where he will deliver an address at the reunion of Co. K., of the Third North Carolina Infantry. Military. The Wilmington Light Infantry now numbers about 75 men, rank and file, but they do not propose to be satisfied until the number reaches the maximum of 100. Its prospects are certainly good for this number, and we are glad to know that its present number consists of some of our best and most worthy young men, who give character as well as efficiency to the corps. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the tber niottieler in this office registered 74 de grees, which is two degrees below Sum" bkt heat. It was cool enough for blankets this worning and the Northeasterly winds an 1 the rain have kept the atmosphere coo-, to-day. match game of base ball at Ral ei2h yesterday botweon the home club the Durhams resulted in & victory I0r the furmer by a score of 11 to 6 for latter.

Dr. Warren's Book. Dr. Edward Warner's book, 'A Doctor's Experience in Three Conti nents" will be issued in August. This work is really a biography and is a succiact history of a career which has been illustrated by many stirring inci dents, thrilling adventures and striking vicissitudes ot fortune, and in which, under the domination of a strange but imperious destiny, the role of a country doctor has been transformed into that of a Professor, the Surgeon General of the Confederate States and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and the scene of labor transformed from the swamps of North Carolina to tho shores of the Chesapeake, the banks of the Nile and the quart iers of the Seine. Dr. T. J. Boy kin , of Baltimore, will receive eub- cnptions. Art Exhibition. Many and nimble fingers were busy at work to-day at Tollers' Hall in pre paring for the Art Loan Exhibition and Promenade Concert for the benefit of St. James' churchyard, which will com mence at half past 7 o'clock to-night. The articles to be exhibited were nearly all in the Hall, and the main portion of them had been placed in positions where they could be the best observed, and the ladie3 and gentlemen present were busy in arranging the details for the occasion by the aid of tapestry and other adornments. To describe the iiterlor of the Hal and all the articles of beauty, value an'' historic interest would take a space much larger than that at our command, and consequently we must content our selves with a geneial description of what we saw, with a brief notice of some of the most important features ol the Exhibition. The walls upon three sides of the Hall are hung with paintings, some of which are copies from tho old masters aud some are original paint inss. Among the latter is a fine painting by Rembrandt, two by Titians and one by Messonier, the property of Mr. Wm. Latimer. There are also portraits of Bishop Ravenscroft, Bishop Atkinson, and one of George Washington, painted by an artist who came to this country with the Marquis De LaFayelte. There are many beauti tul paintings and among tnem is a crucifix painted more than 200 years ago. This is the property ot Mr. teorge W. Kidder. A paintiDg represent ing Spanish Students, owned also by Mr. Kidder, a painting of a flock of sheep, owned by Mr. Wm. Latimer; Magdalen, a copy from Titian, besides many others of rare beauty and merit are worthy ot mention. In the central portion of the Hall is a most unique and ornate service ta ble from the Tuilleries when that pal ace wa3 occupied by Louis'XVI. There is also a large vase from the same place and ot the same period, which is a most magnificent article ana is ol' gi'oat Taluo o aoonnnt rxt (Ko Ti I o f t tI o interest which attaches to it. The ta ble and vase are the property of Mr Wm. Latimer s by whom they are contributed. There jffl also near the centre of tho Hall a Jfiiton Shield," an exact copy from Hie original in South Kensingtoi Museum, London. This is also contributed by Mr. Wm. Latimer. La Cigale, an exquisite stat uette in marblo, i3 very attractive. Mrs, James Sprunt contributes three very handsome screen paintings of her own handiwork and of which she has good reason to be justly proud. A tete a-tete set, once "the property of the beau tiful but unfortunate Mario Antionette, is a most elegant work of art and is invaluable on account of the sad his toric interest with which it is surround ed. There is also an autograph let ter of George Washington, in an ex cellent state of preservation, dated Williamsburgh, Va.. May 5th, 1768, and bearing his signature. One of the features of peculiar inter est and intrinsic value is a gold watch and chatelaine, made in 1650. formerly belonging to Lady Dalrymple, but now the property of Dr. E. A. Anderson. Near these is V miniatare portrait of Gabriel Johnson, the first Royal Gov ernor of North Carolina, now the prop erty of Mrs. Jane Iredell Meares, while in another place, near tho centre of the Hall, is a small table made from the wood of the house in which Shakespeare was born, and upon the top of the table is inlaid a representa tion of the house itself, done in a very artistic manner, and in a vase is a block of the wood of .his celebrated honse upon Stratford-on Avon. These are the property of Mrs. H. Webb, by whom they were contributed. A plate, once the property of Napoleon III, is contributed by Mrs. George Kid der. An ivory clock case which took a prize at the first London Exhibition, and which is an excellent piece of workmanship, is contributed by Mrs. H. Webb. Among other things we noticed miniatare portraits of Capt. Clapp, who was the first minister from the U nited States to Spain, and his wife. Mr. John Kilham, of this city, con tributes several very fine pictures painted by himself, and bis wife con tributes a case of art needle work which 13 very fine. In the above we have given but a faint idea of all the objects of interest and value with which tbe large hall is hiied, but we trust that we have been successful in naming a few of such importance as to receive the atten tion of our people. There are things years occu- curious and almost innumerable to which we would gladly call attention did space permit. There are birds, Scottish daggers, whose handles are set with precious stones, a statuette of Copid cut from a siugle block of marble and many other things of rare beauty and historic interest which none can fully imagine or appreciate unless by a personal obser vation. We had but little idea that so many rare and exquisitely beautiful objects were in the city and we believe that there are many others who are as ignorant in the matter as we were. It is an exhibition of which the promoters ray well be proud and one which every citizen of Wilmington should witness. Board of Aldermen. A called meeting of the Board was held yesterday afternoon ; present, His Honor, Mayor Hall, and Aldermen Worth, Boney, Bear, Dudley, . GileJ, Darby, Doscher and Rourke. The committee on Markets and Fees, to whom was referred a proposed amendment to the market ordinance, submitted tbe following and recom mended its adoption : Be it Ordained, That it shall and may be lawful from and after the hour of 8:30 o'clock a. m. and up to the hour of 4 o'clock in the alternoon for farm ers and producers to drive about tbe streets and sell from their carts all manner of green vegetables and farm products to consumers or other persons.

Pass ed. The Market Committee was author ized to rent a stall in the Front Street Market House to J. W. Taylor for tbe sale of dried fish. The Market Committee, to whom was referred the application of B. H. J. Ahrens to erect a refrigerator in the Front street market house, reported, recommending that tho petition be granted for the term of five years, he payir for tho flame the amount estab- lshed by the market law two ago for the rent of the stall to bs pied. A petitiou from Messrs. W. E. Worth & Co., asking to be allowed to erect a refrigerator in the Front street market house, was read ; when, on motion of Alderman Bear, the whole maUer was reterred bacK to tne committee to re port at the next meeting. The committee on Streets aud Wharves, to whom was referred the petition of certain merchants for the use of two feet of sidewalks. tor the exhibr of their goods, reported, recommend ing the adoption of the following : De it ordained by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Wilmington: That section 5, sub-division 1, Article XII, of the General Ordinances of the city, entitled btreets and bide walks. be amended so as to read as follows : No person shall place in any street, nor upon any sidewalk of the city, be yond the space of two feet next adjoin ing and in front of his place of business, any boxes, casks, crates, merchandise, or other obstructions ; provided, how ever, that building material, earth, and other obstructions of like character, may, by permission ot tne Mayor in writing, be allowed under such restric tions as he may impose.

Alderman Bear offered the following amendment, which was lost : Provided, That nothing in this ordi nance shall be so construed as to pre vent the authorities from causing to be removed anything that shall be deemed an obstruction. Mayor Hall advocated the adoption of the report of the committee. The report of the committee was then adopted. The Mayor stated that there was a vacancy on the police force, when, on motion of Alderman Worth, D. S. Ben der was elected to fill tne same. On motion, the Board then adjourned. NEW ADVEKI8EMENTS.
