VICTORIA.-Since our last, two deaths have occurred. A German barber, by the name of Baker, a resident of Port Lavaca, came here - took the fever and died. Mr. William Phillips, also contracted the disease at Lavaca, which was soon developed upon his arrival here, but he is in a fair way to recover. A stranger from Alabama, named Durant Nobles, reached here from Lavaca in feeble health, and soon took the yellow fever. He died yesterday.
