MOXETARYAND COMMERCIAL. "~1 here is very little activity in financial or commercial circles, and business generally is quiet. Money is not in very active demand for commercial purposes, but there is still a decided stringency caused by the general depression of trade. In New York call loans are 3a4, and the tendency is to lower rates. Prime mercantile paper is 5a? per cent, with a few choice names at 4}. State bonis are quiet, and there were no aal<*s of Virginia bonds reported yesterday ; consols are quoted at 691 bid and 69J asked Ksilroad securities are quiet, and we have no sales to report, but quote: Bid.

Funeral of Bishop Johns.? The funeral services I t the lato Bishop Johns took plaee in the Chapel of ihe Theological Seminary this morning. The Professors and students ot the Seminary and a large atteudance ot clergy and visitors from the vicinity aud distant parts were present. Among the uuabcr wore Bishops Pinckney and Dudley,aod Drs. Randolph,Da ry niple and Addusou, of M uyiaud. The R >v Dr. Hodge, jr., of Princeton, was also preaeot, to represent his father, one of the deceased Bish op's most intimate I'riouds. Among the large crowd who mat the procession at Ivy Hill, we noticed the Rev. Mr. W.iugb, of th s place. Amoug the lay friends of the Bishop we noticed Gov. Stevenson, of Kentucky. and Co!. With ers, of the Senate, i'no Vestries of St. Paul's and Christ Churches, in thi* place, were pres ent, having formally resolved t> pay this re speet to one whom they so well knew and loved. The corpse was taken from the feemiuarj building, students of the Seminary being pall bearers, and all of thorn, with tho jloruy, fol lowing iu procession to tho Chapel. I here th 3 congregation was full aud waiting iu hushed silence for the commeueoment of the service. This was read by Bishops Pinckney and Dud ley. aud Dr. Packard, who read with great feeling and solemnity tne service at the grsve. The fuueral processioo from the Chapel to Ivy Hill Cemetery cinsisted of ih? bishops, clergy aod students of the Seminary and High School, on loot, with a loug hu" of carnages foil-Wing. The remains or th- deceased Bishop were de posited tor the present m the vault at Ivy Hul Cemetery, where they will remain until it is asoe named wln-rher any directions have been iiiven in his will for their disposition. Bishop Whittle, the Assistant Bishop ot the Dio 0:-se, was not present, aud it is supposed tbat, as he is engaged in making his visitations, be was at some point beyond the reach of telegraphic communication, aod hence did not hear ot Bishop Johns death in tituo <o reach this city. ^hopJohoa wa8 born on th- 10th ol July, l.?6, >n Newea-t1-.', D?aware. 1I? lather wa& the Hon Kiuesiy J. h..s, chaucellor of Delaware, aud on the moth- r's nde he was a graodsvu ut Governor Vandyke. of Delaware.

D Johns, of Baltimore, was bis youngest brother, lie left no brotheis living. It is very rarely that the death of any one has ex cited so deep a sense of bereavement as on the | present occasion, when taiuily ti s. chuich iu- j ter^sts and social relations have poss -ss. d so inueh to excite re spec , love and admiration. The death of Bishop Johns to the Diocese over which he presided, <^nd the Church ot whieh he was so distinguished a prelate, ca:i j not be estimutod, aud his lo-<s will prop->rt ion- j ately be felt. REVIVALS.?Lx.*t night another large oon gregatiou assembled in the M. h. Church. On the staod wr>re observed ibe R-v.W.Dinwiddie, Dr. Nichols, Dr. Bledsoe arid the pastor. Alter singing and prayer, Rev. Mr. Dirjwiddio ao uouoced as hiet'-xt Romans hi., 24, aod preac i ed an able discourse. Subsequently pray-jr was offered by Dr. Nichols, and an address(deliver ed by the Rev. W. C. Webb. Several enquir ers cirne forward for prayers. In the ooursC of the evening the choir, presided over by Mr. H C Clark, sane some very touching melodies. The Rev. W.C. Webb will preaob this evening. At the Hammond and Bcntley meeting in Washington, y. sterday, Mr. Hammond inci dentally rematked tbat the company r"turned iog from Alexandria on Tuesday morning wore asked to stop sinking bj the conduc or at ihe instance of two ladies, aod now word comes to him that one of those ladies w;is converted last oight, and it will be remembered special prayer was made for them yeet' rday morning. U asked speoial prayers for the work, particularly in Alexandria and Georgetown, and short pe tiiions were offered by several ministers. Police Report.?Three cases have beeo tried ai police headquarters tiooe yesterday's report. Henry Anderson, colored, for permitting gaming at his restaurant, w;-s discharged as the evidence did not substauiiatc the charge. Lewi* Dudley, colored, accused of beating hi? wife, was discharged on account of the non appearance of the complainant. Henry Lincoln, colored, for being accessory to the stealing of $3 70 from John Crilley, was sentenced to 20 days on the chain gang. Harnett L?wsnn, colored, for disorderly con duct, on coiuplaint of Charles Ltwson, her un cle, was locked up for examination. Seven lodgers were accommodated at the station hi>use last night. Personal?The Danville News says: Captain Cuthbert Powell, agcot of the Virgin ia Midland Riilroad, at this place, took a tly iog trip to Alexandria the other (lay and re turni d yesterday, bringitg his daughter, Mi.-8 Pnweli, who will be in our city for some time. Gen. Bradii y T. Johnson, who. though a Marylander by birth, is a Virginian at heart, auu ably represents Richmond in the State Senate, was in Washington a few days ago, on a short visit, and while there gave a dinuer at Wolker's, at which nearly all th" Virginia Con gressional delegation were present. Ammg the strangers in the city last nighi were Bishop Thotuas [J. Dudley, of K ? ituoky, and Rev. X)r Peterkin, of Richmond, who came to attend the luDeral of Bishops Joho9. The POSIOFFICE.? The gas was again turn ed on at the postoffice last night and the mails opened and delivered as usual. It seems that the Posimaster at this city has uo coutrol what ever over the building in which his office is sit uated, but that it is managed entirely by the Culleetor of Customs. After receiving the order of Secretary Bristow, the latter did not feel authorized to continue the use of the gas any longer, but the Postmaster, after <wo nights trial, finding the great inconvenience and dis satisfaction requiting from the Qt-w system, called upon the Collector, and failing to get him to lake any actiou, went to the Superin tendent of Gas, ana fi.idiujf that officer per fect - ly willing to tnke the chances of payment from the Government, had the gas turned on. The Rivek.?The water in the river is reported by the steamboat-men to bemudiiy all the way dowu to Biaekistones' Island, which i? further than it has ever been known to ex end. The gillers are fishing as low down as the Kettle Bottoms. The freshet caused by the late heavy raius has, however, about subsided and tho water will no doubt becomo clear in a day or two.

J he hall of Potomac Lodge has been hand somrly renovated, repaired, and put io order for the meeting of the Grind L dye. Alexandria Canal.?The necessary re pairs to the Alexandria Canal and nqundunt having been nude, the water iias been turned on and the canal filled from Georgetown to the Four-mile Run stop iock. The water was also tuned, at one o'clock ti day, on that portion between the stop lock and this city. and it is expected that the entire leneth will be filled and in condition for trade by to morrow. 'Itiree boats have already arrived at the brick yards, above the stop l^ck, the O-ceolo, R. T. Stuims aad Centennial, consigned respectively to Messrs. West, Windsor and Appleton. Charivari,?Mr. Frederick Gorum was marri? d 1 a Washington iast Weuoesday, aL'd t)ok his wife to hi* house near Beulah Church, on the Deavor's Road, aboutst ven miles below this city That ^ame night about twenty of his neighbors assembled in the road near his house and give him a charivari with tin horns, pans aud kettles, which so infuriated him that in: fired upon them, aud kep' up the shooting until the last one of them had disappeared. Six or eight of the party were wound.d, but as the shot he used were number six none ol them j were s ? riously injured.
