FINANCIAL.—The New York Commercial o last evening says: Business in Wall street is almost wholly sus- pended on account of the President's visit to the city. The only important exception is in Government securities, which have been ex- cited and very active. Old Five-twenties have sold at 113a113%, and atnoon were quoted 113% bidand 113% asked. Sixty-fours were in active demand and sold up to 113, and at noon were quoted at 112 al13. The advance arose from a report that the bonds had been admitted on the London Ex- change. The rumor, however, cannot be traced to any reliable source. and there is this fact against it, that, sofaras we can ascertain, no foreign bankers have been apprised of sucha fact. Yesterday, however, some heavy amounts of bonds of 1864 were purchased on foreign account; which, there is reason for sup- posing, were not for sale, but for private in- ye:tment. Letters also lately received state that an ef- fort was being made for securing the intro- duction of these bonds in the London Ex- change: and it is also known that it was at- tempted to have them placed on the Paris Bourse. The probability is that these facts being put together the conclusion bas been drawn that tbe bonds were actually installed on the Lon- don Exchange; which may after all prove to be an unwarranted inference. It was owing to the fact of the street losing faith in the repert that the bonds declined, during the morning, 113% to 112. There are very active speculative movements in the bonds here, which may also help to account for the circulation of the report. Purchases of Sixty-feurs and Sixty-fives have been made by parties “short” in Sixty- twos, in the hope that the rise in the former, in sympathy with the high price of Sixty-twos, would compensate for their loss upon the lat- ter. Bonds of 1865 are quoted at 109Xa109%. Seven-thirties are stronger. first series being quoted 107, and second and third, 106%. In the general stock market there were some insignificant transactions on the street. Erie was most active, tunching at one time 74%, and subsequently declining to 734.63 %: Sabie saab Busby 7 The London Spector Says: Onceevyery week or oftener, a girl threws herself over one of the London bridges, and when fished out by the police or waterman, tells the magistrate that ber “young man” bad jilted her or de- serted her, or «shad words” with her, and she cannot live under it, and she will do it again, so she will. and is remanded by the humane official to give her time to consider herself.

Richmond in the Dog Days—The Burnt District— 4 Busy Locality— Magnificent Improcvements— Hazali’s Flowring Mill—The Washingtonians who went South—The Political Situation South. RicHMonD. Va., August 29, 1°65.—Dear Star Richmond in the dog-days is duller even than Washington at this season of the year, aud that is saying a great deal. A Sabbath quiet reigns in the streets, except when disturbed by the shrill voice of a careful but shrewish housewife berating her servants, or the thoughiess carolling of the colored popula- tion; who, as a general thing, have not yet Jost the happy abandon and careless levity characteristic of slavery and ignorance, because they have not yet begun to realize, as they will in time, that freedom brings wich it gTave responsibilities and duties. What we have said of tne dvliness of the eity does not apply to the “burnt district.” Here the hum of industry is heard, and its Tesults seen in every direction. Though the effects of the great conflagration are still severely felt, it having left many of the most active and suc- cessful business men here penniless: yet its visible traces are being rapidly effaced, and piles of building materials now cover the ground, wherever new and costly buildings bave not been already erected on the blackened Tuins. The people of Richmend are certainly doing Temarkably well for a community who were saidto be without money. We had expected tosee the burnt district covered with frame or brick shanties of one story, built for the tem. porary accommodation of business men, A few such were erected immediately atter the evacuation last year, but we find Main street now lined on both sides fora mile with mag. nificent five and six-story buildings, of the most substantial character. They haye stone, iron or brick tronts, of finest architectural de- sign, and are finished inside and out with all the modern improvements. It is no exaggera- tion to state that this portion of the town, when all the improvements now in progress are completed, will compare favorably in ap- pearance with any of the business localities in the wealthiest northern cities, The citizens are justly prond of the new portion of Main street, and it has been suggested by some un- feeling wretch that it would have beena good thing to have burnt over some other Portions of the city, and extended the operation to other places, if the same gratifying resuits would follow. Among other celebrated establish. ments now being “reconstractea” is Haxall’s fiouring mill, said to be one of the largest in the world. it is an immense building of red brick, just ready for roofing, and is as jarge and substantial as before, and Probably a finer looking structure. At Rocke’ & mammoth distillery is being erected, aud as the temper- ance movement does not seem to have ex- tended this far south of Washington, there is no doubt the enterprise will pay. Speaking of Washington, we find that most of our friends from “the city of magnificen, distance.’ who came here in the early part o¢ the war, have shaken the dust of Richmond from their feet, and departed fer other scenes of labor. Dr. Boyle has gone to Mexico, Dan. Ratclitfe to Baltimore, and Walter Lenox to Washington. Among others who remain here, we haye seen our friend Judge Ould, late Commissioner for exchange of prisoners on the part of the Con- federate States. He looks grayer and more care-worn than formerly, but is as genial as ever. Heis practising law, and has his resi. dence and office near the State Capito. We also met Col. Rives, son of the venerable Wm C. Rives, former Minister to France Col Rives was educated at the Polytechnic schoo at Paris, is an excellent mathematician and engineer, and was engaged on the Washington Aqueduct, under the direction of Gen. (then Captain) M. C. Meigs, at the breaking our ofthe war. When the Virginia Jonvention passed the ordinance of session, he resigned, and came here, where his experience and at taimments soon placed him at the head of the engineer corps of the C.S.A. Heis now en gaged in civil engineering here, and sois Mr E. C. Myers, who left the Washington Aque- ductat the same time. These gentiemen are both well-known in Washington, where they have many friends. ‘We have mixed here with politicians of all classes, have met any number of original se- cessionists, and a few original Union men, and bad intended writing something of the feeling in Richmond in regard to the restoration poli- cy of the President, and the action of the con. vention at Philadelphia, bu t having a proper regard forthe usually crowded columns of the Star, will reserve our observations on these subjects, only saying now, that we have so far seen nothing to change our opinion that the people of the South are disposed to act in good faith, and that the glory and Prosperity of our whole country ean be better maintained and promoted by admitting the Southern States to the Union, and giving the people here a voice in the Government, than by continu. ing to exclude them, thus keeping up a feeling of disaffection and hostility to the authorities. liable to culminate again at any time in open rebellion. Unless theexcluded States are to -be always held by military power as proy- inces, the sooner they are admitted the better. Every day they are kept out adas to the feel- ing of disaffection. c. TaiLors’ WaGESs.—in New York, on Sun- day afternoon, a Convention of about 2,000 journeymen tailors was held to consider the present depressed condition of their trade and totake measures to remedy it. From the addresses delivered itappears that journey- men tailors who work for large dealers in that city, when labormg with wife and and child- ren for sixteen hours a day, caiearn but $Sor $10 a week; thus receiving less pay for their work than almost any class of tradespeople. During the war, on account of the demand for military goods, by the same amount of work they could earn $15 a week. The convention appointed a committe to devise some means of procuring an increase of wages. There are said to be in New York, and its neighborhood, 30,000 jyourneymen tailors, 5,000 of whom do “customer wors,” but the balance are paid at the low rates above stated. THE STRENGTH oF PRUs#1a.—The real se- cret of Prussia’s great military strength is said to be in the organization of her forces. For every soldier ot her regular army she has five men in the reserves, each one being practi- cally as good a soldier as the one in the u- lararmy. The regular troops are merely t portion of the Prussian army on active duty at the time, whilst the reserves are not on active duty, but who are thoroughly com- tent for service should they be needed. A Prassian soldier serves for five years, begin- ning at the age of 21; one-half the term being in the regular army and the other half in the reserves. ———$——__..

THE PRESIDENTS RESPONSE. in response to Mayor Hoffman President Johnson replied briefly. He said that, in at- tempting to ey! to what the Mayor had given. utterance to, he found that, under the peculiar circumstances, the words be would speak were inadequate to express the feelings that had been produced here and on his approach to the city. He confessed they overpowered hi He bad nad some experience, it was true, fore public assemblies, and, to some extent, public debate; but be was free to say that he ‘was unable to do justice to the occasion. The most he could say was, that he accepted the invitanon that was tendered him, and the kindness of the citizens and the aathorities, with enly the expression that he had endeay- ored to Gischarge his duty in doing what the representatives of the city were te say was for the good of the country. We had just passed through war and many (rials, bot there was still & more momentous straggle before us. New York Bad borne a large pro- Portion of the burdens of the war. She would do her part now. In reference to what the President bad done, he said that was before the country, and the people would make their own judgment. Here he remarked that it would be better for him to conclude, and let his silence be the speech he ought tomake. Finally, he thanked the Mayor and the citizens, and agai said he would remember the honor that had been done bim as Jong as he lived. At the conclusion of Mr. Jobnso be wae applanded by the it. Cheers were given for Gen. Grant, Admiral Farragut, Mayor Hoffman, and Mr. Seward. ME. SEWARD'S REMARKS. The latter was called upon fora speech. and made a few remarks. He said he felt proud to be able to bring among them at his home, a President of the United States, once more re- united by our armies, the virtue of our citizens, and the energy and integrity of our Obiet Magistrate—a nation not of twenty-five, but of ix States. God bless the city of New the State of New York! Mr. Seward said tha: his first allegiance was to his wife, next to his children, then to his city, State, and country, and when any of them interfered with the latter, he would cast them aside. All along the route to Delmonico’s were immense crowds, who repeatedly welcomed the city’s guests by cheers. At that hotel the President reviewed the troops, and was su’ eequentiy called upon for a speech, bat dee clined to make one, saying none was needed after the demonstration which bad been made to- 1 leave, he said, the Constitution and the Union in your hands. Along the route of the procession flags were prominent in all directions, and occasionally Sppropriate mottors of welcome met the eye. any places of business were closed, and everybody seemed to be talktng politically and patriotically. The President, Gorctary Sew- ard, General Grant, Admiral Farragut, and Secretary Welles were quartered at Delmo- nico’s, while the remainder of the ed were roviaed for at the Fifth Avenue otal The resident this evening received many visitors. BULLET-PRoor CLOTH.—It is announced in the Belgian newspapers that a certain M Bernard has invented a species of cloth whic is bullet-prool. Ata recent shooting festival in Belgium he submitted it to one of the best ossibie tests, by standing fire bimself at a updred yards distance, after first showing that he bad nothing under his bullet-proof cloak but ordinary clothing. A conical bail from a rifie struck him in the and fel; at bis feet, and ross itup be exhi- bited it to the astonished epectators.

THE DismaL Swamp FIRE—We regret to eay that this great conflagration still con- Unues, On Saturday there was a red glare visible in the sky above the track of the fire, which now extends seven or eight miles along the line of the Norfolk and Petersburg rail- road. The mannerin which the fire extends its ravages is destructive alike to timber and soil.
