The stockholders of the Carolina Central Railway Company held a : special meeting at the Firet National Bank iu this city yes terday. Application 'was' made' for the ad mission of a reporter of the Press, and a resolution to. that effect was offered by Mr. In & Hopkins o Baltimore, but tbe resc- ution was promptly slaughtered, only the mover -and. .Messrs. . .EL; G. Ooderdonk, of New York, and J. S. Dickinson, uf Balti po ping to: its iurort. We are enabled, however, through tlie courtcsyof several well-posted gentlemen' to give an outline pf the proceedings. And what we publish, we wish to say at the outset, is jiot mere rumor, but reliable information. - j :.The. proceedings we.Jearn, were "from grave to gay, from lively to severe," To say they were stormy would be drawing it rar1i$we :ftayeth5st.pt reasons or saying thai Ute session was of a deci ledly yesuvian-volcanic, patent eruptive style ' ' . We regret if, hot it is: tievertneless true, that the bondholders (sometimes called the B. B.ys for short) are. divided intq two fac- 3ti6ns-T-the majority,, jn amount of bonds or stock represented; being headed by Messrs. Watson Matthews;: and President C. H. Roberts; aad a strong . minority , being led by the veteran Onderdonk and the more youthful and impetuous Hopkins. All the Matthews propositions were car ried in the jneting yesterday; and our ad vices tell, us that they provide for the is suance, ot second-mortgage bonds to the extent of $3,500,000; these bonds to be used ib raising fands to complete the road. ' ' The opponents i?f the . Matthews interest assert that this is a scheme for loading down uie road with an immense pile of bonds, with the fcopV'that tnelow 'prices at which they may be offered will induce parties to .furnish the necessarv funds to comnlete the road. V iThe Opposition insisC too, that securities enough have already been issued: to complete the work; and they charge that me dilemma in which the Company now finds itself is due jto inefflcient management and other causes." '" 3- : Not only in thjejiieeting, but on the streets, -there was no minctfig of Words, 1y the op ponents oi-the JJlattnews faction, in the meeting, we are tpld, such "choice express ions 4s 'fraud,-"-'-'dishonesty, ''attempted fraud," &c, were "thick as leaves in Val- ambrosa.

Nurolr,rnaiig iu Hcttf27.;R WILMINGTON, HEAVY BOBBEBV. Tbe Stores olr Messrs.. SoK Bear c Bros.. Broken Oyeu aud Bobbed or a Laree Amount of Goods. . ; - "On Saturday "morning, some time between midnight and day; an entrance was effected into the store of MessrsSol. Bear & Bros., on Market, between Front and South Water streets, and a large amount of goods stolen therefrom The thieves got in at the rear door of their wholesale establishment, there being a passage between it and the store in which the retail business is carried on. The shutter of the door alluded to is of iron and was. secured by. a bolt ntuthe top, and else where by two bars, the bottohi bolt not fit ting Into ,the'bc4e made Jot it,' in conse quence qf wnich the bpuom-of the shutter projecteout bedrid the edge of the door 81.' Here a crow-bar was inserted and prized so that the two bars were broken, when an opening was secured large enough for a man to crawl through. The thieves hen went to work, proceeding from drawer to drawer, in both stores, and selecting goods with special reference to their value, showing as much judgment' in their selec tions as the most experienced dry goods dealer could have displayed. Among the articles taken may be mentioned the fol lowing From twenty to twenty-five pairs of fine black doc-skin pants; three gross or more of fine pocket knives; a lot of fine English socks; from three to four dozen fine linen shirts; a lot of fine linerf handker chiefs; a suit of fine cassimere, consisting of coat, pants and vest ; from ten to twelve fine black cloth coats and various other ar ticles which cannot now be named, the whole aggregating in value not far short of $1,000. The sum of $10 in change was al so taken from the money drawer in the re tail department.''' It is needless to add that the thieve escaped with their booty. That such a daring wholesale robbery as this should be successfully . carried out ' in the very heart of the business portion of tiie city is but another indication of the in security of property under the present state of affairs. The Messrs.' Bear have been in the habit of keeping two brilliant gas lights' continually burning in their stores, and the understanding has been that when these lights or those in other stores are extin guished there is something .wrong. The thieves turned off the gas and went through the scores under cover of the darkness. In the meantime no notice was taken of the absence of the lights by the police in the vicinity, and the thieves, although from the estimate' of men' versed in the matter it must, have taken them very nearly an ' hour to select and .pack the goods taken, were suffered to carry on their operations without discovery or molestation. The goods were probably carried through the alley- in the rear of the stores to the wharf, and there placed in a boat and taken lo a place of safety. This is rendered like ly from the fact that a boat was reported to ,have left the wharf. about 4 o'clock in the morning, seemingly loaded with goods, the fact having been noticed by some one pass ing: The private watchman in the Market says he heard the sound of the bell attach ed to the money drawer.Tjnt did not attach any importance to the fact at the time, not thinking of anything wrong going on around him. ?;. -V ' - ' We learn that Mayor Canaday has sus pended the policeman on that beat at the time and intends to have a thorough in vestigation of the circumstances connected with the robbery. The nature of the case certainly calls for such, action on his part, and to enable him to do this effectually- all persons acquainted with any facts tend' ing to prove negligence and inattention to duty on the part' of any member of thepo lice force on the night in question should come forward and testify to the same.

The Company wilLalso make connec tion with the public cisterns on the line of their mains and supply them with water1 free of charge, but the city shall Keep the nublic cisterns and hvdrants in eood repair. The Company will furnish the city buildings and a public fountain with water free of charge, and will also permit the' city, under direction of the proper authorities to use four fire hvilrants and no more at .onetime, as often as mav be necessary, for washing the gutters of. the streets, but such use shall not exceed four hours in any one day. Should the crowth of the city hereafter re quire the use of more than one hundred fire hydrants, the rate of rental shall be seventy : dollars ($70) for each hydrant of the second hundred, and sixty-five ($55) for! each hy drant of the third hundred. The Company will extend the line of mains from time to time as patronage may justify and the pub lic needs, may demand, and will pledge it self to do so at; any time that an assured revenue shall be guaranteed to it of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per .mile on such extension.. . '. Believing that the health, saiety an d, gen eral welfare of the city will be largely pro moted; by such a public introduction of water, the Water Works .
