8 . Dramatic and Musical Matters. Considerable remark was excited in various quarters ‘W afew mild reflections which were suggested to us by fhe rumor that Miss Charlotte Cushman intenied to Beage an American company for the Haymarket. Nu- ferous newspapers in various parts of the country hive pled the article—others have alluded fo it. Some of he journalists consider the writer « person of sound Yews and wise discriminatiou—others ray he is & (now Nothing; and the editor of the Louisville Damocrat, with that elegance of diction which distinguishes the ‘Venal press, says that ‘he runs down ail the late arci- vals in this country, without single exception.” The Democrat contradicts the Hxxacp statement that Mr. Bates’ ‘‘importations’’ were of mo sccount; and we have a letter from 4 correspondent of the wame tenor. He selects three of fourteen (one of them is a ‘utility’ man), and says they are good. As » proof, iis stated that they all ‘“enunciate with one exception! The Democra! further scouses the Hxnatp writer of “not knowing what he w talking about,”’ and ‘‘condemning those he has never seen,’’ These are grave charger, and they are unfounded. The authority of the HERALD is derived par.islly from the letters of the manager of the Cinsinnati and Loui: ville theatres to his friends and agents in this city, par- tially from persons who knew them in Eogland, and partially from personal observation, the writer haviog had the misfortune to see a performance in whish some of them were engaged, and also to suffer a great deal of exceedingly bad acting im several Western theatres. Mr. Bates advertised in the Heraip for persons to fill up vacancies in his company, as ita files will show. Toe Democrat article cloves thus:— One word more, and we will quit. The Heracp critie ‘thinks we, in the West, are in the habit of thankfu lly re- ceiving apybody the East rends. Perhaps, if he will cake the trouble to unquire amorg the stock wc:ors of New Yors end Philadelphia, he will find several who came West with the ides of setting us wild with delight, and re turned rather crest-failen. He will a'so God that some of the leading stock are from the id woods of the ‘West— row the greatest favorites in the Eas’. All that the Hrnarp said was that the Western peopls Btood a greet deal of bai actiog with the most exem- plezy resignation, That is trus. Persons who cannot get stock engegemen's at the Kast, say never miad, I will go Wost and star it, And they do, and the Western feople are “done” with cheap stock companies and e9- pnd rate stars. The Hrraup never said that no good ktista cume from the West. On the contrary i: has al- “Stays spoke in terms of praise of thoee who deserved it, firs. Hayne, Misa Logan and others. The writer is pret- well acquainted with the stock companies of New York and Philade!phia; put he can remember no leading tayo kitesat prevent who origina’ed west of the mountains. Ona review of the Democrat articls, we are inctiaed do think it was meant as 4 piece of fum. The editor says E. L. Davenport is an excellent actor—a favorite of oure, [are you not gratefal, Daverport!]—bat be mus: yisid the palm to James Anderson.”? “Good gracious! Mux.’’ We are to have anotnor grand show piece at the Broap- War TamaTee this evening. The legendary equestrian drama, Herne, the Hunter, is to be played here fir the first time. To add toits effect the managers have ea- gaged a stud of trenty-four horses, insluding @ trained animal, seid to be of astonishing sagacity and profound equine education. The ccenery and costumes will be all new, ardevery resource of the theatre wil be usel to give effect to the play. The play deals with » period in English history—the times of bluff Kirg Hal—woen the nation war just at the pristine glory of sp’endid barda- riem, and when Windsor forest rang with the shouts of hardy hunters, gallant noblemen and stout archers. Tae atory is one peculiscly acapted for stags effect, ani the great euccess of the play el-ewhere renders {t almos: cortain that it will bea trinmph at the Broadway. No other piece will be played on the same evening Tus Winter's Tare —the proinc'ion ot which bas been tu'ly no‘iced—bas receive the rarmest commendations and will fii Burton’s for many nights to come.

UNEETTLED EMIGRANTS WITH MEANB. ‘This class by which we deecrite those who have some perronal but no real property, your committee have seen Teasce to believe, are more numerous in the old states than is usually supposed. They are also fouad in the Conscian el'ies, but in much less proportion than in the Urited States sea porta and manufacturing towns. The bDuik of their surp us carnings is invested in savings inati- tutions or hes in the hands of co:porrtions of employers, or is partly invested in Jown furds and building associa- tions. it is the impreseion of the committer thet no! five out of a bundreo of them loan their money op mort. geger, that consequently almost all their investments are made tu institutior a wbih yielt the smallsst amount of interest without the recompense of the least amount of risk. Of raving’s backs, a8 conducted in sevaral of tho States, we destie io epeck with great pisianess. Thoy were Crigiwally tho aevice of benevolence for the protec. tion of tbe Jeborious poor; bat tney have very generally degenerated into sgencica for specs ators. TheSecretary of the State of New York reported to the Legislature on the 0h of Febrvary la:t that rhe banks of this class ia this State “are at pres: nt without sny supervision,” that of two of them uo active incorporstion could be found; that of two ctbers no annus! abstracts even were re- quired by "heir charters, and be strongly recommended that vis precarious state of thiags be remesied. The Bunk Cummissioners of Marachuectts in their annual report for 1856, report fevirai ee ious sbases ia the simi a> instituticns of that State, such as saving’s banks operating #* benks cf discount, msking divistons of their emyplus earnings cnly at the end of five to the mariest prejudice of the short eporitors; exceeding the eum alowed to be loaned on pe sons] cecurity, and the orevaleut speculating spicic in the use cf “other men’s money,” moreover such banka themselves ecem vo study » con inucd mystery in their monsgement, opposing ail obstscles to the eupervi- sion cf she State, aud refu-ing to give minute details of their treneactious when forced to zepert to the public. Of some 200 estadlisted, with few exceptions since 1840, there ia but ore which keeps in Ceiail the accounts of emigrant depositors, From the others, to rec-ver tho deprsi.# of w cecrased re'ative would sometixes cnat the next of kin more expense than the legacy would be worth. Your ccmmittee would theretore recommend to the emigrant of emall means a careful cigcrimination io the election of a savings bank wherein to ceposit his hard eurmings, at the same time they would ad their opinion tiat the best cf ali benks, wuere it ern ba de- o-ied, is the unebaker soil of the earth. From the Tita belore them, your committee have eatumated that there is not lesa than twe.ve millions of trish morey in vbe ravings banss of Mareachusotts, From incomplete returns and comparaiive rumors they infer thet the banks of the other five New ‘fi glond States contro! a sitrilar amount, that New Yok city ard State could chow & similaramouns, and tat New Jerrey, vernsylvenia and Maryiacd banks have the ure of & fourth sum of nearly, if sulle, as much; these are the ten olrer Staves totore ailuded to, and the aggregate cf all would yivlc forty-eight milicnacfdollare ot Trish money, cf which bit one milion (in the Emigrants’ St ving ’s Bavk of New York) is di-ecUy or inctrectly undor Losb coptrol white 6) deposited.

Before parsing from thin pa.t of the inquiry, ic may be well to state the operations ot ihe only Emigrant Seving’s Bank in tne United States, as set forth by their report for 1866. Two-chirds of all the Geporitars of that year (reventeen hundied out of twenty- two huncrec) are extered aa ‘‘natives of Ireland.’’ The average amount due cach depositor is $238. The whole sum inthis bark on New Years’ Cay was above a mil lion; she who'e +um i its possession during the five years of itsexistence was withima traction of taree miuiuns. The mectamics ard thse who necossartiy live in cities form about fitty per cent of the depositors; the laborers, poctere, carmen pedlars domestics, xeamstresses, drosa- makers end minora ferm ths remainder. The largest wi Lerawals are at the fivrt of each quarter, from which we infer tha: mary cf the poor buard in the intecvals to be able prompt y io meri the sily lanaiord Thoee who bring five, ten rid tweoty Collars, or intermediate sums teach . eposit, frm nearly two-thizds of alt the deposi. ore; a0 tbat in this respect, as wellas in minuteness of ite entries, thir institu iom is fn ly en'itied to the name it received trem tis revevolent founder, the late excel ert Mr. Gregory Lillon, of New York.

As security for paying up the share thus realized he gives the society real estate tecurity ard the orffeence between the accepted bic and the matured chare becomes the common profit of the share holders.
