Departures by flag-of-truce.
--Four hundred and twenty-five wounded Yankee soldiers, nurses, &c., left this city yesterday morning in the steamer Schultz for Varina, whence they will take the flag-of- truce boat North in exchange for an equal number of Confederates now confined in Yankee prisons.
Among the number were sent from Castle Thunder the notorious Miss Doctor Mary E. Walker, Surgeons of the Fifty-second Ohio regiment, Dr. Culbertson and Hambleton, from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and Captain Samuel Stears, who was formerly a Yankee Custom-House officer.
When Miss Dr. Walker emerged from the confines of the Castle she gave vent to an audible huzzah, and raising her hat from her head made an obeisance to the officers of the prison, which plainly indicated that she had no regrets in leaving there, and would remember them in her communications which would be made after her arrival home.

Incendiarism and Robbery.
--A most determined attempt was made about one o'clock yesterday morning to destroy the brick tenement on Thirteenth street, between Main and Cary, Known as the "Our House" restaurant, kept by Messrs. Charles and Daniel Hunt.
The building was fired in three places-the back basement-room, which was used as a wine cellar, and the two third-story rooms, occupied as sleeping chambers.
It was first discovered in the basement, and, without any suspicion that there was fire in any other part of the house, the firemen confined their operations to that place, but, before they had succeeded in subduing the flames, dense volumes of smoke came rolling down from above, which apprised them that the incendiary had also been at work up stairs.
Watchman Franklin was the first who ascended, and when he arrived at the head of the steps, he found both the rooms locked and the keys gone, whereupon, being assured that each of them was on fire, he forthwith forced them ope
Drowned.
--The dead body of a soldier was fished out of the dock, at the foot of Eighteenth street, yesterday afternoon, where, it is supposed, he was drowned about 1 o'clock the night before.
Nothing is known of him except what was gained from a pass which he had in his pocket, dated "Half-way House, between Richmond and Petersburg," permitting private Kane, of the First Virginia battalion, to visit this city and return in twenty-four hours. It is probable that he had been sent over as a guard to some prisoners who were committed to Castle Thunder on Wednesday night; and afterwards, while under the influence of bad whiskey, obtained in the neighborhood, walked into the dock without knowing where he was. Coroner Sanxay examined the body, but as there were no marks of violence, an inquest was deemed unnecessary.
