Tobacco. - From a statement furnished by the inspectors of tobacco at the different warehouses in this city, for the nine months ending 30th ult., it appears that the inspections for the month of June 1860, and 1861, are as follows:
| 1860. | 1861. | |
| Shockoe Warehouse....... | 2,654 | 310 |
| Public “ ........ | 1,766 | 261 |
| Seabrook’s “ ........ | 939 | 126 |
| Dibrell’s “ ........ | 886 | 9 |
| Mayo’s “ ........ | 525 | 293 |
| 6771 | 999 | |
| 999 | ||
| Decrease......................... | 5,771 |
The total inspections in this city for the last nine months is 20,436, against 27,602 hhds. for the same period of the previous year.
The stock on hand 1st of July in this city is near 3,000 hhds.
The recent advance in the price of good shipping and fine manufacturing tobacco will doubtless cause the planters to send it forward more freely.
