The Norfolk correspondent of the Petersburg
Express, under date OF the 18th inst, writes as fol-
lows:
"a melancholy interest is attached to the early
fate OF the two Misses Laura and Martha Mallory,
whose deaths were reported yesterday. Both were
II ken down with the fever eli the same time, both
died within few minutes of each nther,and both
were buried together in the same rude box, "a poor
apology for a cotln,) hastily constructed for the
purpose out of common rough piue They were
of highly respectable family, two amiaDle Young
ladies, sisters, and members Of Christ Church.
''Hhey we've lovely i'll life, and in their deaths
they were not dvded:''
"rhe hearSes not being sufficient to carry out
:he collins fUr ln'erment, recourse is had to carts
and wagons and IN several instances we have seen
the dismal shells of mortality pEotru'ling far out
from the front of cart, with the driver sitting be-
side it wittr perfect moncHuHncc, cracking his
whip, and putting away at an aboninable cheroOt!
elbow use doth breed habit In man."
1.-THE negroes hold divine service in their differ
ent churches every dav, and incessant praying and
singing may I've heard from morning till night.

regular rotine of former everyday life We seem

ia remarkable Circumstance connected with
the epidemic is, that not bird is to be seen with
in the limits OF the city, and has not since the fever
beccme general. Whethe this is owing 10 the poi
sonous density Of the atmosphere that keeps them
away, OF frin what other cause, we are not aLle
10 say, not being philosophers or ornitLu!oplsts
''Hhe poor pigeons have ceased their Soaring
fight and perch themselves on their houses with
dropping head aud wing, the very picture OF de-
spaIr, and Alexander Selkirk would say, shock
lngly tame.'
"rhe cows, in spite of the city ordinance, wan.
der about the city seemingly IN search OF lost
mates, making the welkin echo with their melau-
| choIy loving: while gangs IL half furnished dogs
take possession Of the streets after nshtfal, and
render might hideOuS' by their nceSSent yeiplns
and bowling! Truly, the very acne of distress
and deSOlatOn has fallen upon poor Norfolk!
The number of new eases has Slightly dniin-
iShed. but the deaths have increased awfuIly. In
the City Hotel hospital, from Yesterday morning to
| this morning, there have been thirty deaths.
OLD POlNr AGAIN REFusED.--We stated YES
terday that the committee from Norfolk and Ports
mouth, who had come hIlher for the purpose OF
asking certain inn oGtant favnrS of the President,
had departed without accOmpIi. hing the main OBJ
Iect of their mission, namely, permission to re-
move the people at those distressed cities TO Fort
Monroe. II appears that upon their return 10 Bal

to their brother refugees the response of the

required for the removal of the present occunantS
oil Fortress MonEoe,) Mr.. Falls, OF the Bay Line Of
Steamels offered 10 furnish transportation for them
all within q hours. Whereupon the Rev Doctor
Chase, chairman Of the Hampton, Norfolk, and
Portsmouth committee, accompanied by DR.. ]. j.
SimpklnS and John b. W Whitehead, Esq. President
of the Common Council of Norfolk, were Gepu-

Baltimore for their homes
The committee accordingly returned to this city
yesterday morning, and was favored with long
Interview with the President. in which all the mat
tiers connected with the plan ofobtainins Old Point
were fully discussed but the difficulties appeared
inSutmountable to the President, and the commit

Since the above was in type, Our local reporter
has obtained from official source the following
additional information, brought by the Norfolk boat
this morning:
Thete was supposed to be dimished mortality
