THE Bellies. "A letter in the New York
Times, from the Greenbrier White Sulphur
Springs, says: "1t is worthy of remark that
here there is a certain peculiar haDghtiness on
the part of the fair ones, and a certain defer
ence and obsequiousness on the part of the gen.
tlemeu which one does not find elsewhere"
The writer traces this ito the fact that Vir-
ginians have carefully preserved the tone of So
ciety asi existed fifty years ago." He further
says that the Virginia, South Carolina and
Louisiana bellies. who have been brought up in
those old-fashioned ideas, give not the slight
est hint of it when they are at Saratoga, New
port, Long Branch, etc., but are as afable as
any other ladies'"

DUNCAN, SHERMAN g. Co.-The failure of
Duncan, Sherman & Go. continues a topic of
interest. The assignee is engaged 10 getting
the affairs Of the firm in order and preparing a
statement. The most interesting incident con-
nected with the subject is the transfer Of $685.
900 worth of real estate, on Monday, by Mrs.
Sarah NJ. G. Sherman, widow, and VIM. B.
Duncan, OF the firm, to A. Duncan. The
property transferred consists of q two-thirds
interest in the late banking house of the
firm, on the corner of Nassau and Pine
streets. Upon the withdrawal of Alexander
Duncan, the father of Vim. B., he issued a
card stating that he had not Withdrawn one
dollar of the assets of the firm, but would
leave the whole amount with his successors.
Whether the transfer is the recording Of an
old deed, designed to secure Mr.. Duncan, senior,
Is only a subject of con- ecture. Mr.. Alexander
Duncan is at present living on his estate in
Scotland, to which he retired after having
amassed a fortune in this country. His wealth
Is estimated at from one and a half to two mil
lion pounds STERLING.

A Wrong Policy.

we sometimes think, Notwithstanding all
that is said and written upon the subject, that
the people of Virginia do not desire %immigra-
ton. 1t seems to US that, if it was really aud
anxlously desired, it would not be hard to get.
PEOPLE are sensible enough to go, always,
where they fare the best, and if we could show
the migrating crowds Of the outside world that
they can fare a little better 10 Virginia than
anywhere else, they would come to US by the
thousands. But there's the rub.
Two or three facts have come to our
knowledge lately which go to cou6rm i'm
p%resslons which We have had upon this
subject for a good many years. A gentle
man from Delaware came to Purcelyille,
not a great while ago, with a view of set
Ting there permanently, and going into the
business OF manufacturing bone dust. If the
people 10 that vicinage had really desired the
Delaware immigrant the would have done all
10 their power to forward his purpose. But
how was II? This gentleman tried, ia vain, to
buy a spot of ground upon which he might
erect the necessary bulldogs for his ENTERPRISE.
Not an inch could he procure for love, or money.
And, IN disgust, he quit, to carry his capital
and himself elsewhere.
Another instance we have heard Of lately of
the same character. A mechanic Of skill and
with some capital, wanted to start a furniture
hanu[actory, at a point In LoudOun, well sit.
uated tor building up a lively business village,
ADD he applied to the owner of the property
Tor an acre OF ground, and was effectually bluff
ed nf, with u price oil $6u0
And so it is all over the county, and prob
ably the State. If this be true, what is the
seuse Of talking and writing about immigra.
ton. --Loulom Enterprise.
The above applies with force to our own city,
where, 10 more than one instance that we have
heard OF, capitalists have been driven off by
cxorbitaut prices asked for property that has
been lying idle for years, and so will continue,
doing the owners no good, aud yet when want.
ed tor practical purposes, is held at figures that
will not justify its being bought. If we want to
encourage the introduction of ca pital and man.
ufacturcs, every induccmeut must be held out,
and nothing doue to throw obstacles in their
way.

Charles Adderly, President of the Board of
Trade, in introducing his bill to further en-
power the Board Of Trade to prevent the sail
ing Of uuseaworthy vessels, said that MIR. Plim-
soils bill was not acceptable to the Govern
ment because it was based on wrong principles,
and besides Furnishing offenders, it took upon
itself the actual conduct of the marine service,
while the present bill wasintended to strengthen
the executive and facilitate more rapid and d.
rect action. Mr.. Roebuck denied that the bill
would satisfy the country, and advocated the
consideration of Mr.. Plimsoll's bill. Other
members also spoke in opposition to the Gov
m measure. The bill finally passed its
first reading. Its second reading is fixed for
Tomorrow.

for the appointment of twenty-five delegates
from the city to attend the proposed conven-
ton at Cincinnati on the 25th October, to con-
fer about measures to restore specie payments
and to correct the evils of the national revenue
system. The resolutions also declare that ''they
iufexibly set their faces against all schemes for
currency so long as that currency should con-
sist Of irredeemable promises to pay money,
and that they would oppose any policy which
had not a direct purpose to establish the cur
rency on a par with and actually convertible
with coins" The resolutions were seconded
in a long speech by D. H. London, and un-
auimously adopted. Delegates were then ap.

FRENCH CONSULAR AGENTS IN VIRGINIA.
1t is stated that Ellie Barrot consular agent

representative of that country 10 Virginia.
This did not use to be the case. 10 old times
most OF the cities of the Commonwealth had
Tuch representatives of that country to them.

plumber of people now living, Count Henri De
Montholon, SOD of one Of the favorite marshuIs
OF Napoleon, who accompanied the great chief

France 10 Richmond for twelve or more wears
as Consul. He married one of the Virginia
Gaults, and was recalled by Louis Napoleon on
his accession to power and advanced high in
the diplomatic aud social scale. He is still
living and some Of his Virginia children will
yet, no doubt, come to reside 10 the Old Do
