The OPERA HoUsE.-The historical Joan
of Arc was well represented by Emma
Waller on Saturday night, according to
the general conception of the heroine.
From first to last, she maintained, with her
usual skill and power, the dignity, enthusi-
asm, fortitude and dsuperhuman energy that
are commonly attributed to the Maid of
Orleans. 1t was the last night of Mrs.
Walters appearance, and she has left us
with an increased admiration of her great
dramatic talent. ..
Josephine Tyson's rendition of the Brig
and Queen on Saturday night, added to her
already great popularity in this communi-
ty. She personated the Queen as one who
well understood the character and was
able to give to her conceptions of it their
full force and effect. Her voice and man
ner were such as to show an earnestness
and reality that could not fail to create
lively interest in the deaouement of the
play.
Emma Waller and Josephine Tyson, in
each drama, were generally well sustained
by the company. Mr. X. Davies and Mr..
Edwin Gross, in the lighter and more face
tious characters, were particularly fortu-
nate. Mr.. Gross, in the Brigand Queen, by
his characteristic and humorous rendering
Of Corney Brady, the Irish Count on his
travels, excited, by his brogue and his
quaint Hibernianisms, bursts of irrepressi-
BILE merriment. He takes benefit tonight,
when he will doubtless give rich specimens
of his skill in the comic and ludicrous.

CoUNTERFEITING.-Several arrests have
recently been made in Cincinnati for pass
ing, or attempting to pass counterfeit
money, The fact, says the Commercial that
the country is flooded with counterfeit
money, particularly Treasury notes and
postal currency, is proven BY the amount
of it in circulation In that city. There are
there several houses which are regular
" "shops" for the manufacture Of it, and the
men and women connected with them, so
manage their business as to escape arrest
on anything like positive evidence.

the Treasury Department. will probably
demand OF Congress after the close OF
the present fiscal year will probably be
about three hundred millions of dol
lars. This sounds very large when COM
pared with the thirteen millions wear
during the presidency of John Quincy
Adams, who used to be denounced for
his eXtravagancies, but it is only trifle
more burdensOme to the industry of the
people when the changed condition of
our affairs is taken into consideration.
The most interesting and startling part
of the treasury statement is that relat-
ting to our circulating medium, which
shows how rapidly the greenback cur
fency has grown up in four years. OF
| legal "tender" afloat there is not quite
seven hundred millions but over two
hundred and fifty millions of this con-
/ sist of notes on interest, which have
therefore been mainly boarded for pres
entatiOn when due. Practically, the
amount of our greenback currency does
not exceed five hundred millions, to
which add the national bank notes in
circulation,f and the aggregate is less
than seven hundred MILLIONS.
1 The monthly statement of the exact
condition ofour national debt is of the
highest importance to business men,
: and especially to bankers it allays all
fears and speculations based on reports
and rumors which interested. operators
continually set afloat by means of bo-
gus dispatches from Washington, and
baseless calculations. 1t has been sug-
CeSted that the Secretary of the Treas
ury should publish daily bulletin OF
, the actual amount of specie on hand (;
and, if such thing could be done, il
would unQuestionably have most ben
eficinl influence upon the speculatiOns
in gold. If it were practicable to do
this, il would be comforting Il great ben
while no detriment from it would re-
} suit to the Government.

"If all the men who were once got

thousand men in the rebel service ut the

find this number of four hundred and

something like the actual number that
