" VIRGINIA.—The votes in Richmond, according to a
correspondent of the American, was as follows
CITY OF RICHMOND : Whig tickets, 454 ; -Van
Buren tickets, 138—Whig majority, 316.
" Yesterday various rumours were afloat respecting the
result of the election in this State. Great anxiety pre-
vailed. Stocks fell about three dollars per share, and the
impression gained ground, that the Van Buren tickets had
succeeded by a small majority. Other reports state that
the Van Buren men had information, by which they claimed
the Electoral ticket, by a majority of two thousand.
Their means of information was not stated.
" DIVISION OF DEPOSITS AMONG THE STATE.

" The Secretary of the Treasury has notified the Bank of
Virginia that he shall draw on that Bank in a few days after
the Ist of July, in favour of the Treasurer of Virginia, for
about 350,000 dollars, which will of course be previously
deposited in the Bank ; the ratio will give to the State
about 2,600,000 dollars by the Ist of October next, and
make the whole distributable sum, about or upwards of
36,000,000 dollars.

" Note by the Globe : On inquiry, we learn that a si-
milar notice had been sent to the deposit Banks in every
State of the Union. Besides this, the extraordinary calls
on the Treasury to meet very large appropriations at the
most distant points.

to swamp the Legislative Council ; and it pretends to know
it on good authority.

Seventy notices of applications for Acts to be made at
the next Session of the Upper Canada Parliament have
been published ; there will therefore be no want of business

DIE LATE MADAME MALIBRAN.—At the Con-
sistory Court, Chester, on Thursday, Messrs. Jones and
111addock, proctors for the defendant, read a protocol of
appeal—that is, they took the first step towards appealing
against the late decision of the Chancellor of the diocese,
the Rev. Henry liaikes, to the Metropolitan Court at
York. The grounds of the appeal are twofold ; first, the
defendant relies upon the want of personal service of the
citation ; and, secondly, upon the granting of the faculty
without giving him an opportunity of showing cause against
the issuing of the same. The result of this step will be
the prevention of the issuing of the faculty until after the
next Court days It will also give the defendant an oppF-
tunity of car.:ing upon Monsieur de Beriot. to prove bis in-
terest in the Court of Appeal, should there be any truth
in the report that Madame Malibran was not legally divorced
from her first husband.

digging early potatoes on the 28th of June, which he had
planted in his garden ; and, after removing the potatoes, he
immediately re-planted the stems. On the 12th ult., he
commenced digging a second time ; and, although the first
crop was considered good, the second was found superior—
more numerous, larger, and of better quality.—Scots
