WHrPPING HER HUsBAND.-A negro woman vas
arrested yesterday, on the outskirts Of the city,

Cole, the officer who made the arrest but as he

THE THEATRE-Last night the new company at
the Theatre presented in a style worthy of better
audience, the affecting play of Camille. Miss Nit
chelI lacks somewhat the touching tone of voice
needed to give the highest effect to some of the sad
der passages of the story, but her physique action
and expression harmonic so well with the suierings
and sorrows of the heroine that the sympathies of
the spectator become too deeply enlisted for criticism
Mr. Albaugh, as Armand won hearty and apprc-
ciatiye applause. The minor parts were all accept
ably rendered.
Tonight the great play of Macbeth viii be per-
formed, in which the lessee, Mr.. Dufeld, will ap-
pear as Hecate, giving the audience a taste of his
fine voice as singer.
The "Duke's Motto" and "Waiting for the Yer
Dict are under rehearsal. The latter had the most
remarkable run in London Of any drama Of the
DAY, having been run four hundred consecutive
nights. 1t should, and doubtless, WILL draw well,

The New York Post, of Monday evening last,
says:
The week opens upon an easy money market. The
demand from the stock exchange is moderate, and
loans aIe made freely at six per cent, with few eX-
ceptons at five upon Government collaterals. In
the discount market first class commercial paper Is
in request at las per cent, but inferior grades are
closely scanned The second quallty Is rated at
9al0.
The bank statement shows no important change
beyond an increase of So S7 654 in loans, owing to
the increased activity of borrowers. The deposits
have increased S54O3O9, the legal tenders S7l3O34,
the notes in circulation S39O,527. The specie has
decreased S49lOg7. There is nothing in these
changes inconsistent with long continued ease in
the loan market.
The gold market is weak and somewhat excited,
but there is still an active borrowing demand for de-
livery loans commanding about 3-l6ths per cent.
per day in favor of the lender. The price opened at
l27l and declined to 1851, after which it reacted
slightly. The following will show the course of
quotations 1890, 1878 IL, 1864; 1l.45, 12Si; 10,
i26' l, l25. $50, 1851; ., 1855.
The stock market opened strong and active, and
the disposition to speculate for rise was general
4 strong upward movement was developed in Cleve-
land and Ptsburg and the stock sold up to So with
very large transactions. Reading was also active
and buoyant and Erie was well sustained, the price
touching 79'.
The tone of the railway speculation is steady, and
there is no disposition shown by the bulls to realize.
Meanwhile, large short interest is being created
which will assist the reaction. Government securi-
ties are steady. Gold is less unsettled, and selling
at 1861. Money closed easy at six per cent. For
eign exchange is inactive and lower Bankers bills
on London at sixty days have been sold at 1O5ia
1866.

the port of New York, for the week ending April 7th
