In Petersburg, Va., on Saturday the 2d inst., of Apoplexy, our esteemed friend and fellow-citizen, AARON LAZARUS, Esq., in the 66th year of his age. He was on his return to his family when the messenger of death arrested him at the house of a friend, where only about three years since, his own lamented wife, under somewhat similar circumstances, sank to the grave.

Seldom has the melancholy truth “what shadows we are and what shadows we pursue,” been pressed more sternly upon our minds than in this sad and sudden dispensation. Mr. Lazarus had been our townsman, the cheerful and honored companion of our daily walks for forty years, and through all the vicissitudes of his long, chequered, and eventful life, had borne himself with firmness and a spotless integrity; won for himself the noble reputation of an upright and sagacious merchant of an useful, enterprising and benevolent citizen, of a firm friend and prudent counselor; and our social no less than our business circles mourn their melancholy bereavement.

His probity, energy, and fine understanding, gave success to his undertakings, and he dies surrounded by the goods of fortune, respected by the wise, and wept by the tears of friendship and affection.--Communicated.
