WILMINGTON, N.C. The Commerce of Wilmington.—The com-merce of tins Town has increased within the last few years, even more than its population. But a few days ago, a Russian vessel was cleared from ihi" port with an assor'ed cargo of North Carolina produce, for a port in Germany, by Mr. 11. B. Eilcrs.

Mr. Schcnek remarked that he would as soon vote against the converse of ibis proposition as a-gair. st this; the whole subject was irrelevant, in his opinion, and ought nut lo be introduced into a Wbig caucus.
