AUGUST 2, 1850.
The treasurer to-day paid out over $780,
o00 in redeeming the bonds OF the city
which matured on the lst OF August aud
between $4,000 aud 100000 in interest
which fell due on the same day. The total
amount OF these bonds was 100000, OF
which some $4,000 had been paid before
maturity. Most Of these bonds were held
by parties outside Of the city, and were col
lected through the banks and attorneys.
This il probably the largest amount ever
maid out Of our treasury in one day. The
money TO meet them on maturity, "a The
readers Of the Dispatch have heretofore
been Informed. was raised by The sale OF the
ci,y's preferred stock in the Petersburg
railroad several months ago.
The exports Of manufactured tobacco
from Petersburg for The month Of July
amounted 10 40l 1856 ponnds--an increase as
compared with the exports OF several
months past. Ii Is stated That though
large quantity OF tobacco, both manufac-
tured and leaf, is shipped from this port
every month, Peter >burg does not get credit
for n. because !; does not 20 direct. The
manufactured article is mostly credited to
New York. where il Is sent FROM here for
shipment 10 the various ports. And so
MISC, il is stated, Richmond. Baltimore,
Philadelphia, and Other cities also get credit
for what Is Justly due our city. In the olden
DAYS Peiersbur bad direct foreign export
and import trade.
The expenditures OF the city for the
month Of July, o. reported by the City Au-
dItOr, amounted 10 Sl4,jl0 II.
The completed report Of the health OFF,
cer for the month ending July 26th shows
that the total number Of deaths in the city
during that period was o., instead OF IS, as
stated several days ago-a more unfavorable
showing than il i desirable TO see. This
docs not include ten nOu-residentS, whose
bodies were brought here for interment
CO those who died IS were children under
ore year Of age. The population Of the city
j within fraction of 22,000-say, 10000
whites and $4,000 blacks. On this basis,
the mortality during the month on the
whole population was al the rate of 81 80
Der 1000 per annum-on the white popula-
iion 5000, and on The colOred 81 per | 200
Der annum. This j. the heaviest rate ever
known in our city. The greatest number
Of deaths occurred in First Ward, 80; Sec
ond and Third Wards l6 each, and Sixth
Ward 20. or the total number, 80 were
whites, o. blacks; 43 males, 81 females.
4 heavy robbery l. reported to have oc-
cnrrcd several nights ago at the house of
~. DnIA . no
Heights. Coleman and his wife were at
church AZ the time. Coleman lost Sl52 OF
his own money. and his wife. who is trea-
surer OF several societies, lost S24O which
she held IN charge for them. The TWO sums
Of money were kept separate and apart, but
were neither secure from the thieves. a
number OF society treaSurers have been
robbed OF their funds during the past two
or three years. and yet they do not seem to
profit by experience and use the banks as
the repositories of their money. There is
a. vet no clue 10 the robbers in this ease,
though "a number OF papers and other arti-
cles carried of by them were subsequently
found some distance from tue house.
The police Of this city made los arrests
during the month OF Juiy-5l whites and
81 blacks.
1t is understood that the majority OF the
Prince George delegates to the Democratic
Convention at Ocean View favor the nom-
nation OF Hon. John GOOde for Congress.
Indeed, it is believed the delegation is solid
for him. Mr.. GoOde is announced TO address
the people of Sussex county at the August
term OF their court on the political issues OF
the day.
Rev. Mr.. Logan, OF Roanoke county, who
has been assigned by the Bishop as assistant
rector Of st. PauPs church in tins city, en-
tered upon his duties yesterday and created
4 very favorable impression.
Mr. Thomas &. Elliott. OF this city, has q
cane in his possession which was cut by his
father III years ago on the site Of the pres
ent waler-works. 1t has notch upon il
which marks the limb on which at the same
time was found mocking-b birds next, the
young in which were captured and Gagged.
Mr.. Elliott has also frame containing the
portrait OF his grandfather which is 40
years old. Its size is Is by "a inches, and
IN the lifetime OF his grandparent it was re-
garded with great curiosity and wonder
ment 10y the people oh account OF its large
size and the great glass ii held.
The Hastings Court adjourned to-day
