NO LIMIT 10 sUBTREAsURY DEPOSITS.

one result Of the visit Of Secretary yesterday
was the temporary suspension Of the order limiting 90
100000 a day the deposit of money at the Sub
Treasury for shipment by the Washington Treasury TO
other places. There a sharp demand by country
correspondents for currency, and when the Sub.
Treasury officers informed the Secretary that they had
considerable currency spare he directed the receipt
of all deposits the currency going directly from New
York instead Of Washington and thereby involving no
embarrassment nor imposing burdens upOn the
Government Bureau Of Printing and Engraving at
Washington. The deposits yesterday at the sub-Treas
ury for shipment other places amounted 10
81 ,54-,O 900. This Included 100000 to 90 to New
Orleans, which exceeded by 1000 the limit pre-
viously imposed by the 100000 rule. The action
OF the secretary was commended in Wall Street
facilitating the movement Of the crops without strain
ing the National machinery.

THE THALIl THEATRE REOPENED.

1t IS exceedingly pleasant to playhouse rs rich
In historic associations the Old Bowery and as we
adapted for the most careul Of theatrical representa-
lions rescued from the baser into which IL had
fallen and placed again among the theatres that
worthly represent the dramatic taste Of the CITY, 1t
does not so much matter that it is still called the
ITALIA Theatre It has been Of later years. and not
the Old Bowery as II once was that the plays are
all to 10 given in the German language the important
fact Is that is again to be place for the attendance
OF people Of culture and refinement and THAI dramas
of the highest order to be presented by actors
worthy TO interpret them.
1t was only preliminary season that began last
night, but the house crowded, and the audience
was Of quality TO prove that the managers had
attracted the attention and would be able TO depend on
the encouragement and support Of the most Intelligent Oh
the Germans speaking citizens OF New-York. The I'm
provoments that have been made in the house WITHIN
the last few months have already been described in
these columns. The house Is handsome, bright and
cheerful It's architectural form is especially convenient
for aordng the best possible views Of the stage and
the stage Itself is Of the largest and best in the
country.
The attraction of last night was the company Of
clever little people known the Liliputans. They
presented the piece in which they were seen at
several of the city theatres last winter "The Pupil in
Magic" 1t IS not a serious work one In which much
consistency logical sequence is looked for, but il IS
bright and amusing and gives the Llllputans as good
opportunities as they could have to show what they
arc able to do The audience Of last night was
pleased with everything. Franz Ebert the smallest
Of company deserved and received the lions share
OF the applause but Miss Selma Goerner Miss Min
chen Becker, Johann Wolf and the rest were also
welcomed warmly. Masses Of flowers were passed
up to the stage at intervals, and after the famous
Beer Song" which had to be repeated three times,
horseshoe OF was brought, so big that 1t took
the whole company TO lift 1t the fOotights. The
scenery the stage pictures and the ballet we're all
exceedingly pretty, and particularly good effect was
produced in the last act, when little Fritz wanders
drawing one screen Of foliage after another to show
him going deeper and deeper into the forest. The
company has not before appeared stage deep
enough for this effect The opening Of the old theatre
gave promise of deserved prosperity.

ing with Collector Fassett. with whom he discussed
the situation at the Custom House and the Public
Stores. The two officials Of the Government went
the conditions at the Public Stores pretty thoroughly.
Mr. Fassett explained that it would be impossible for
the time being to keep pace with the work there, as
the paving Of Lalghtst took away four Of the eight
doors through which goods entered and discharged.
The Secretary was the Collectors guest at luncheon,
where they continued their discussion Of Custom House
afairs While he at the Sub-Treasury in the

solely for pleasure. Mr.. Foster said that probably
onehaf Of the IL per cent bonds would be taken up

have been better pleased the banks had taken up the
IL per cent bonds, as 1t expected that they

the redemption OF the bonds, for he did not know that
there Ind been "a time when the money would do the
country more good than at present Mr.. Cannon
