The Richmond If7Lig of to-day says :

The transition from euormous prime and depreciated cur.
reocy to reasonable rates and real money bee come so
suddenly upon the cakess that it will be some
time before they can realise the chugs. Butter
that was ewes at 23 dollars per pound is now
plentiful at 50 to 80 cents. Eggs that were hid away at 25
dole. per dozen, COMO out readily at 30 cents., and other
commodities are at an equal rate.

During the evacuation of the city 350 odd convicts
silkugid to escape from the penitentiary, bat on Thundsy
over 100 were remiapiureti and retuned id %its insianitoi.
Military Governor Shepley has authorised the detail of
coloured men to clear away the ruins of the great fire, oo as
to expose the broker ps pipes, with the view of repairing
them, and speedily furnishing palight to the citizens.
Sutlers' stores are springing up aU over the city, and old
times are being revived by the sight of stilutantiala sad
luxuries enjoyed before the war. We understand from
proper military authorities that no difficulty now exists in
regard to mail oommunication by citizens with their friends
is the Northern States and all sections within the Union
lines, provided the letters be stamped.
A mail has been made up drily at the capital, closing at
5 o'clock a.m. A Northern mail returns in the evening.
Four detective officers of the rebel government have been
arrested, with Willey, the turnkey of Castle Thunder, and
Fred. Shaffer, the Confederate bread commissioner. They
have been committed to Libby Prison.
The connexions of the mayor and police have been ens.
pended for the present, and military law governs the city.
In time one may look for the restoration of our municipal
government on a Union foundation, and the resumption Of
legislation in all its departments.
