Extending the Corporation limits. --Williams C. Wickham, Esq., Senator from Henrico and Hanover, under date of March 11th, (yesterday,) writes as follows to the editors of the Dispatch, in reference to the bill recently passed for amending the charter of this city: "In your report of the Saturday's proceedings of the House of Delegates, the bill passed 'amending the charter of the city of Richmond,' is spoken of as 'extending the corporate limits.' This is an error; the bill contains no such provision. A proposition to extend the corporate limits has been before the Committee of Propositions of the House, and they have asked to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject, thus defeating the effort to extend the limits. As my constituents are deeply interested in this subject, you will oblige me by inserting this communication."
