A bill had boen proposed im the other house, augmenting this sum totwo mil- Mons, but no action had been had upon it. In conse- uence of the time consumed here betore bullion mm California lett at the mint can be transfer- red to coin, much of it was likely fo to Kng- land for sine where largo amounts of coin could be procured ym the Bank of England within twenty-four hours after the deposit of the bullion, Many orders sending to England for ooinage had al. ready beon made; the expense of sending to England for coinage was ‘only about one per cent., which was sendlly belameed by the interest wpon the value of the bullion during the time which it was to await coinage im our mint. There was said to be now in the mint about millions of bullion awaiting coinage; there was in treasury of the United States about nine uuillions of bullion and coin. thus making an amount of seventcen millions dollars a, idle ‘tate of things injurious to the business of the country. Hav. ing thus stated the facts with reference to the subject, Mr. Webster commented upon the necessity of some action in the premises, and asked the adoption of his resolution. Mr. Downs appreved of all that Mr. Webster had said, end submitted some remarks in reiation tothe ciroum- stances growing out of the resiguation of the Sub- ‘Trensurer at Now Orleans, and the failure of his suc- eervor to qualify. He referred, also. to the nooosaity for an additional force in the assaying department of the mint in that re Mr. Hur en raid the subject was under the cousider- ation of the Committee on Finances. He stated that one great cause of the delays complained of. resulted from a ch«mical difficulty in assaying the California gold—the ecparation of the alloy from tho gold.

Huson, April 23, 1360, The defence have just closed their testimony, and the trial, to all appearance, is fast approaching its | end. The prosecution have opened with rebutting testi- mony, and it is expected that the defence will com- mence its summing up to-morrow. Tho summing up on both sides will, im all probabi- lity, cooupy from six to eight hours, and this, with the charge of the Judge, will doubtless take till Thursday evening, before which time the cause cannot be ex- pected to go to the jury. ‘Tho witnesses introduced since last report, are Jacob Barringer, Cornclius Van Benschoten, John H. Coon, Jobn 8. Fulton, Harmon Livingston, the defendant, Harry Dunspaugh, Charles Essletyne, sud Broman Van Renseclacr. Jacob Barringer testified that he had eut wood on the disputed premises, to burn brick for defendant Livingston. Cornelius Van Benschoten testified to tho location of several farms round the premises, and also that he had cut wood upon the premises, Jobn H. Coon testified to loeation of promises. John 8. Pulton testified that he lived near the pre- mises in question, and had cut wood from them under warrant from defendant. A map of the premises in question had beon com- mitted to the care of Judyy .remaine for safo keeping, and was found. In one of my previous reports, you will find that » map of the premines in ques- tion, which was committed to the eare of Judge ‘Tremaine for safe keeping, wae lost, and the defendant was obliged to give oral testimony as to the location ot the premises. The prosecution having attempted to make a handle of this fact, and baving intimated that defendant bad secured or destroyed the map, the de- fendant’s testimony as to the point was taken, and he swore that he had made search among all his papers, and had endeavored to find the map; that he had not been able to find it; and that, according to his boast recollection, the map had been committed sometime since to the care of Augustus Tremaine, Shortly after tho defendant was examined, Mr. Van Rensselacr, who had boen deputed to feearch among Judge Tremaine'’s papers, came into eourt, bringing | with him the map, much to the gratification of de- fendant’s counsel, who introduced the same in evi- dence. Had the map been sooner discovered, the trial would, in all probability, have been much shortened, as the defence had been obliged to give oral testimony ‘as to location of premises, Tho witness Stall was re-callod last evening, and testified as to the location of several farma, &e. ‘The witness Tremaine, was re-called this morning, and testified that he had madee survey some years go, of the premises in question, for Harmon Livings ton, and identified the ma; Broman Van Rensselacr, was sworn as to whore he found the map, &o., and testified that the same was found among the papers of Judge Tremaine, at his re- sidence near Hillsdale. The witness Esslotyne swore that he had been agont for Harmon Livingston, aud had collected rent of the tenants for him. ‘The witness Dunspaugh swore that he was agent for defendant from 1833 to 1842, and had also oollected rents from the tenants, Apri 24, 1850, The prosceution is still on the rebutting testimony James Redfield, Dr. B. B, O'Callaghan, I. W. Robin- son, Henry Younghance, and Augustus Tremaine, have been examined since last report. Redfield, O'Callaghan and Robinson were examined, as to searches made by them in the offices of the County Clerk, Seerogary of Stato, and Surveyor Gone- ral.

With this testimony the defence closed, and the Prosecution commenced introducing ite rebutting testimony They first presented @ certified copy of commission of Governor Thomas Donneghan, with a viewjof show- ing that under it he had no right to grant the patent. Mr. Southerland, for defence, objected to the ad- inission of the evidence, on several grounds, t, The prosecution had no right to introdues evidence, unless the point upon which it was intro- duced was an issue in the pleadings; that if this point were in terue, it was ouly so collaterally, and defence had not anticipated it, nor was it to be inferred from the pleadings that this right was questioned Second, The power to grant patent had been recog- nired by the colonial government, and by the State government, and the Stato was bowud by its admis sions ° Third, The Btate had reeognised grants, and had declared them to be good, if such grants wore #0 de- clared by the government granting them.

Last night another fashionable audience, Including almost every family distinguished for musical taste tm the metropolis, was present to witness the first repre- sentation of Verdi's grand opera, “Macbeth.” It ie very evident that the public are fully alive to the high merit of the whole company of performers, and to the fact that they will remain in the city for only s fw nights more, Hence the anxiety to be present. We see the same persons im their seats night after night, the rome array of beauty, wit, and worth, varied only by the strangers who rush in from other cities to share in the enjoyment. “Macbeth” was sustained by the brilliant chorus of the establishment, and by the united efforts of Sigaora Angela Boslo, and Signori C. Badiall, Lorini, and Col- lett, with excellent auxiliaries. The voealisation and acting of Signora Boslo were exciting and inspiring, and she faithfully interpreted the mind of the compe ser, while she secured ovations for herself, Tho brindis# met with an encore, most rapturously insisted upon, and her finale was executed in the most artistical style. Indeed her efforts were erowned with success as greet as sbe ever derived in Madrid or Havana, if we may judge by the enthusiasm, whieh called her seversi times before the curtain. Though seoond to Signers Stefanoni, she merits = very exalted rank. Signor C. Badiali, 4 Macbeth, made s very powerful and favorable impression, a4 the calls for bim emply testified. Nobly did he second tho purpose of Verdi, and very brilliantly, in many scenes, did he come fully up to theintent and meaning of the foore, His trial was arduous, both im the vocal and dramatic action, but he passed through i¢ with great credit. Lorini had but few demands upon hia voiee ; but he sang his scene throughout sweetly, where sweetness was required, and forcibly, earnestly and magnificent- ly, where it was demanded. He merited much moses applause than he obtained, though that was not @ little. Aw the cherus wore particularly efficient, both tm their acting and singing, we cannot omit to extol thems highly in connection with the praise due to the greet compoer, Verdi. For reasons, which we well under- stand, but care not to cite, it has been the fashion Im Europe to decry this great maestro. The Amerieam prers, however, will not echo, to any great extent, the follies of prejudice or jealousy. Had Verdi writteo me other work than “Macbeth,” he would have achieved evough for his fame. It is praise enough for him to have taken Shakepeare’s drama, scene by scene, aud to have sustained himself by the side of the groat poet. The instrumentation and the vocal parts are admirsbly adapted for the grand effect to be prodaced, and the composer cannot be charged with making too great demands upon the power of the vocalists, though he does closely try their musical #kill, from the chief characters down to the reeitative. Expressivonens rules in the chorus; and though » predominant motive is not sawed upon, as by Bollial, tilt the opera resolves itself Into a single melody, frittered by repetition, yet a grand iden is awakoned, instead of ® beautiful thought, and combination of foetings, power, and character gives vastness to the design. Much of the effect depends upon the chorus, andthe female portion of it particularly; and the exertion om the part of all contributed to give to the representae “tion, last night, the very best effect.
