--The following note from the British Consulate in this city will be read with interest by merchants and shippers:
British Consulate, Richmond, July 1st, 1861.
To the Editors of the Dispatch:
For the benefit of the merchants and shippers by the British schooner Tropic Wind, lately seized by the blockading fleet in Hampton Roads, and sent as a price to Washington, I beg to state that official information has reached this office from the British Legation at Washington, which states that the Tropic Wind and her cargo have been released and given back to the charge of the master.
I am, gentlemen, yours very truly,
Fred. J. Cridland.
Virginia State Convention.Sixteenth day--[Second session]. Richmond, July 1, 1861.
The Convention was called to order at the usual hour by Mr. Southall. Prayer was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Hall.
Mr. Macfarland arose and said: The Convention will please give me its attention for a moment, while I refer to a gross misrepresentation which appears in the Dispatch of this morning, [in the report of the proceedings of the Convention as reported by the Reporter.] purporting to be a report of a conversation which occurred upon the floor on Saturday last.
I say the misrepresentation is gross — gross.
If it proceeded from ignorance, the ignorance is pitiable; if it proceeded from design, the malignity is contemptible.
I refer to the conversation which occurred between the member from Wetzel (Mr. Hall) and myself.
I have called his attention to the statement in the Dispatch, and am happy to find that he concurs entirely in the correctness of my recollection. I will read a portio

Another engagement occurred at Mathias' Point on Thursday afternoon, in which nine of the enemy were killed and many others wounded.
Our troops took a large number of picks, spades and sand-bags, and left the field unscathed, as usual.
From the accounts which have reached me, I judge the enemy numbered about fifty, and landed for the purpose of erecting some kind of defence.
The accounts are so vague that I am unwilling to give any statement positively, except that of the number killed and the quantity of implements found in the deserted boat.
Captain Ward, of the Freeborn, was killed.
Our citizens were thrown into quite a furor of excitement yesterday afternoon, about 6 ½ o'clock, by the arrival at the wharf of the steamer St. Nicholas, of the Baltimore and Washington line, and at a very late hour of the night the wharf was crowded with those dubious about her identity, and curious to know the circumst

From Norfolk.[Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Va., July 1, 1861.
It is evident that desertions from the Lincolnites at Old Point have recently taken place.
Several small boats have floated ashore at Sewell's Point with muffied oars, which warrants the conclusion.
They have been secured by our forces, and appear to be boats belonging to some large ship, probably the Cumberland.
It is likely the deserters made their escape at night, and after landing some distance up the bay, set these boats adrift.
Capt. Ferguson, commander of a company at the above Point, came into our city on Friday and brings us this statement.
Mr. Thompson, of whom mention was made in a former letter, states that the infamous Pendergrast presents a lock of depression which bespeaks of deepest sorrow, and it is said that his own associates do not respect him, and are actually afraid to place the least confidence in him.
There is great sickness, I am told, prevailing at Old P
