The plot of the play follows that of the novel very clogely, although the main incidents are brought more nearly together, and love is substituted for hate as the motive of the heroine. As almost every one has read or will road the novel, it is only necessary to give a mere Outline of the progress of the story. Of Matilda Heron's Aurora Floyd it is sufficient to say that it is far superior to her Edith, and quite equal to her Camille. George Jamicson’s Steve Hargraves was a fine bit of character acting. On account of the sudden illness of Mr. shewcll, Mr. Harry Peareon gave up his original part (Mat. Harrison) to Mr. Becks, ‘od played John Mellish in unrivalled style and with grout appiause. Mr. F.

Business is completely stagnant. The steady nd continued fall in gold has paralyzed every branch of trade, and the prospect of a visit from Mr. Chase intensifies the general indisposition to do anything. As a rule, goods are not pressing on the market; everybody seems confident that gold will react and rise again, and that the present panic will be of brief duration; but in the mean- time no one is selling anything, and the dulness whioh prevails in mercantile circles is almost withous parallel. Gold opened this morning at 146, fell to 14534, rallied to 14634, sold in the afternoon at 147, 4, %, 146%, %, 4, and closed, at five P. M., about 146%. Exchange sold in the morning at 160 and 160%; later in the day the rate was nearer 161, @nd at one time that was freely bid. Bills are scarcer than they were and are no cheaper than gold. The stock market was inactive this morning, and the black shadow of the Secretary of the Treasury still lay heavily upon speculative shares. Harlem, which closed last evening at 58, sold this morning at 55; Erie was 5% lowor, Erie preferred XH, Pacific Mail 4%, New York Central 4, Southern old %, guaranteed ¥%, Pittaburg 1, Rock Island 3%, Fort Wayne 14%. Bonds were inactive. Governa- ments were dull, but steady. At the one P.M. session of the public board there was an active inquiry for shares at tho decline, and higher quo- tations were generally cstablished. In the after- noon there was a general rally in the market. Erie rose % per cent, Pittsburg 1, Southern old %, Toledo %, and sa on throughout the list. The brokers seemed aa anxious to buy as they were yesterday anxious to sell. Harlem wes very ac- tive and excited, the price being 58 a 34. Hudson ose to 10934, the highest point itever tonched. At the four P.M. call of the public board the market was firm, without activity. Northwestern rose to22 bid. The following were the closing Hudson River.109 a men Money continues a perfect drug, as may be imagined from the enormous deposits in the Sub- Treasury at 5 per cent on call. Every one ia trying to lend money in Wall street at 5 per cent, and the leading houses refuse to give over 4. The official statement of the public debt, which we give below, shows thst the amount of govern- ment paper afloat is $345,000,000, which, added to the bank notes afloat, will probably amount to not less than $500,000,000. The aggregate exports of produce and merchan- dise, exclusive of specie, for the past week, were $2,748,686. The Treasury Department has acted upon the suggestion made in this column a few days since, and we have been furnished with an official state- ment of the debt of the United States on 30th March Mast. At that time, it appears that the total debt was less than a thousand millions, béing im exact figures $929,186,147. Of this amount nearly one-third—say $295 ,068,255—has been fund- ed into five and six per cent stocks of various lengths and 7.30 notes, which are themselves convertible into twenty years sixes. The amount of legal tender notes afloat is reported at $345 ,563,500, which is within $54,500,000 of the limit fixed by the act to these issues, until people begin to withdraw their temporary deposits. Mr. Chase has or ought to have on hand $50,000,000 of legal tender notes, which are to be used. exclusively for the payment of temporary deposits. If this view be correct, one cannot help feeling considerable sur- prise at the dilatoriness of the Treasury Depart- ment in having the new Treasury notes printed. There is not @ single press at work on them. The floating debt of tie country is reported at $46,046,615. These figures, especially the gross aggregate, will create no little surprise among the public, who believe generally that our debt is much larger than is here reported. The following is the table farnished by the départment:— AGBTOGNIO.. ee ease eee $020,196,147 12-8 83-100 We trust that statements of this kind will be furnished to the press every fortnight, or at least every month, hereafter. ‘The agents of Boston banks are in town, making arrangements to take advantage of the passage of an anti-gold loan act by our Legislature. They propose to lond par on certificates of deposit of gold in our city banks. Similar arrangethents will be made with Philadelphia banks, and a geod deal of capital will flow from this city into New Jersey for the purpose of being used im this way. grous receipts, and to pay a license of $25 on each car. We believe that the fare will be four cents per passenger. It may fairly be presumed that the sudden action of the Council was due in a great measure to the shameless manner in which the profligate Legislature at Al- bany was preparing to sell away our streets to speculators. The directors of the Har- lem Company have this advantage over the corpo- rators in the Albany bill: their names are to be found in the directory wud they are men of sub- stance. They are Messrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Daniel Drew, John Harper, Horace F. Clark, Ge- neral Wetmore, John Alstyne, Abraham Baylis, Allan Campbell. In the hands of these mon the interests of the city will be safer than they would have been in those of the unknown individuals who modestly sought the franchise at Albany. Of the" business of the new city railroad it is difficult to form an estimate in figures, It is probable, how- ever, that it will bo merely limited by the oapacity of the company to transact it, and will very fer exceed that of the Sixth and Eighth avenue rafl- roads. The old Harlem stock, which has long been the most despised railroad fanoy on the list, will probably become one of the most valuable. ato tees: Apeil 2151888, $43000 U 86's 'B1,cou 105 600 shs Kirle RR..... 17! 2000 US5's Técou. 98 100 Erie RB pref.
