The Currency.

The latest and "only effectual' remedy
our friend of the Dubuque Herald has dis
covered for the evils Of paper money, is,
''for the people to insist upon the withdraw
al from circulation Of all kinds Of paper
money, or at least the bank notes of all de-
nominations Of less than ten dollars" By
this arrangement he argues that "the specie
hsarded up by the banks, what little there is
Of il, would take the place of the paper SO
returned, and the export Of specie to Eu-
rope and elsewhere would soon cease. j
We can't perceive by what hocus pocus he
10 to stop the export of specie, if we Do
abolish paper money, so long as our people
continue to import 50. excessively. We

The Lady who haunts Marc.

The gossipping dlilies of tn, Eas, have
been specializing considerably OF late with
regard to lady, who having fallen in i've
with Mario, has followed him over Europe
and n;ghtly may b, seen at his concerts in
the city OF New York. \ cor.esponden, ci
the Portland Ado. says in rsgarl to her -
| eta king OF the opera rem nds me OF the
lady who haunts Mario. The SCI, taken
! for the season undcr the name OF Sou IS
is filled every opera night by the plaster of
| paris looking female who has accepted the
cognomen. Hitherto it has generally been
supposed that she was a managers myth
a lady got up for effect by Hdckett and ro-
manced into notorlety at so much per line.
This is mistake. To my certain knowl-
edge she is an English woman Of large for
tune-mad as march hare, no doubt, and
just as desperately in love with lie Marquis
as a lunatic might be expected to be. She
brought to this country large sum in Bank |,
Of England notes, and letters OF credit, drafts,
&c, from the London banking houses OF
Coults & Co., to large amount have
seen several of these letters, drafts. &c.
and know that Brown, Brothers & Co., cash
her bills without hesitation. She buys
largely at Stewards, Genin's, and other fash
ionable stores, paying for her purchases in
fifty pound letters of credit bearing the sig
nature and water-marks of Coul,s g. Co. !
and her own endorsement. Her real name
is Francis Sarah Gyle." which she aifixes
in very sane-lookIng hand to the aforesaid
fifty pounds. Every time she visits the OPP
era she arrays. herself in new costume.
and, if may Judge from her appearance,
gives her face new coat of whte-Wash. -
She is staying at the St Nicholas, and has
with her very nice looking ''lady's maid
who seems quite in despair at the vagaries
OF her mistress, whom she is very anxious
to get back to England again Mario has
had one interview with the fair demcnted
since her arrival, but what passed thereat
this deponent, not knowing: cannot say.
The story about her having followed the
handsome (but rather ew-visaged) tenor to
St Petersburg and elsewhere, is all true
One Of these days she will have Grs in
her hair, take it. Nous rerrOns.'
