Unclaimed goods.

--Among the unclaimed goods stored in the Mayor's office, City Hail, we noticed yesterday three suspicious looking trunks, said to belong to Mrs. Dobson, lately sent on for perjury; one blue bed quilt of home manufacture; two faro tables, one made by Williams, of New York, and the other the product of the skill of some Richmond carpenter. These latter were seized at 149 and 151 Main street, and are to be burned. The trunks are said to contain evidence eneficial to the Commonwealth — among other things a lot of money belonging to Mrs. Dobson. The large box in the North corner of the Mayor's office still remains a terra incognita to the uninitiated. The contributors are many; the receivers of its benefits are few. It is the receptacle of contraband pistols, and other articles ‘"too numerous to mention."’
