HIDMICAL AWimAJIATlC. Tba Marriage 1 Fliraro, by the Pareoa- Itomi Troup. Votart and Rossini have made "Figaro" immortal ay! appropriating Bcaumarchois' Barber of tievUU and Tht Marrkuie of Fiflaro to their own use. 1 hla la a species of grand artintlo larceny that Shake apeare furnished ample precedent for, and which we nlj condemn when little mcs attempt to steal the work ot great ones. Beanmarchals and his opcrae would long since have been forgotten If the Herman and Italian composers bad not taken hia coralo hero and reacned him from oblivion by the Inspiration of , Ihetr renins. As It is, ''Figaro- is tht hero of the eperatlc stage, and the only distinct dramatic char actor that has taken a permanent hold upon the papular fancy. Moaarta Hamaqt oj rgaro was written and produced at Vienna only a few years after Beaninarchala' work had been brought out at parts, it was an Immediate and Immense success trom the first, and It has never lost Its popularity. From first to laid It is a ripple of melody, and the ; nusM lasciuateB vj wni j n1" fcvu..... j eaaracterlBtio of Moaart. It baa not the sparkle of SoMlnl's Barber of Sevil , bnt It Is distinguished by qualities that rank It higher than that work In the list of masloal masterpieces. The great number of eempetent artists required has prevented The MoT' riag of Figaro from being given as frequently as Its merit deacrve or as the publto wonld like to see It, and It la sufficient to Indicate the superior character f the combination of artiste that Madame Rosa has lormed that they are competent to render this work to superior style. The Italians seldom or never at tempt it, and the public have been Indebted to the Germans, as they have for many similar favors, for the only opportanJQes afforded for hearing It of late years. I'ntll Madame Rosa brought it out, it had ever been given In English, and it Is not too much to say that It baa seldom been better performed, at least In this cocntry, than fcy her troupe. There was am Immense audience in attendance at the Academy tf Muslo last evening, proving that the publlo TTill support the opera if the managers will only bring out In really good style works of real merit that "have not 'been repeated bo olten that everybody- tired of them. Madame Rosa led the tuneful choir by singing the role of "Susanna"1 as only she can a'.ng It. It Is always a rare delight to listen to this artist's magnificent voice, and the pleasure to mcreoaed when Bhe Is supported in as compe tent a aranneraaflbe was last night. Madame Row acted with a viveolty that was unexpected, and In the garden scene she excited a roar of laughter by the very amusing manner In which she referred to the difficulties in the way or an interchange of charac ters between the "Countess" and her maid the one being personated by the diminutive Miss Hersee, and the other by the magnificent Farepa herself. Miss Herses was admirable as the "Countess," and by her Blngtng and acting she confirmed the very favorable impression she nude when she appeared here last fail. Mrs. Segoln personated the page "Cherublno," and earned box lair share of the honors of the evening. This charming artist ie -deservedly one of the greatestt.vorltes in the troupe. Her voice Is much superior to that of any contralto now on the Ameri can stage, if we perhaps except Miss Adelaide Phillips and she is at all times a delightful actress, who ia Itily competent to give due dramatic expres sion to ny rale for which she may be cast Mrs. Seguln dressed the pert last evening with the greatest- good taste, and she was the very Ideal of such a mischievous -good-lor-nothlng aa the little acamp""Cherublno" Is represented to be. Mr. Campbell is not good buffo actor, and his "Figaro" Is deficient 4n dramatic qualities. His sing ing of the airs entrusted to him, however, and his performance altogether, was very acceptable, If not In all respects up to the highest mark of excellence. The role of "Count vAlmavtva," "Doctor Bartolo," "Marcelllna," "BaaiUo," and Antonio" were credit ably represented by Ifeasra. Laurance, Hale, Nord blom, Segnuvand Miss Stockton; the choruses were given In good style and the orchestra was skilfully led by Mr. Carl Rosa. The City Amnaementa.

('nnterfrlt Flve-eent Piece la Clmu.Vailoa - The Iteanlt r aa Aaaay at tbe nine-Leak Out for Them. For montha post the New York Bub-trcasary has been redeeming the nickel five-cent coin at the rate of several hundred dollars per day. Mr. John O. Johnson, of the Treasury Department, observed, a few days atro. that a considerable number of snsplcious pieces were daily olio red ! for redemption. A further examination con vinced iilm that they wore counterfeit, and he decided accordingly, though the lies were so well executed and the metal ao skillfully alloyed as to deceive the oldest and most experienced coin experts, even when submitted to them for critical examination. From $0 to f 8 nominal value of this coin Is offered daily at the Sub-Treasury in New York tor redemption, from various soirees. Only two or three days ago Mr. Johnson rejected ten of these pieces In a bag of $50 from the Atlantic Bank, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and they are found In larger proportion even than this, many of them new and much improved on former issues. There is, evidently, much of it In circulation, and the public would do weU to scrutinize the coin carefully. Tbe Assistant Treasurer at New York, Mr. Folgcr, suggested a few days ago that some spe cimens of the counterfeit nickels be sent to the United Htatos Mint in this city for examination. Accord ingly four of the supposed counterfeits and four of the genuine coins were forwarded to ex-Govornor Pollock, the Director of the Mint. Tbe eight colna were submitted by him. to Mr. Eokfcldt, tbe Assay er, who gave the fol lowing result of the assay to which they were subjected, with some hints as to the means of detecting the counterfeit coins, which will prove useful to the public: Mint 'OF tub United States, Philadelphia, Feb. B, 1870 Hen. James Pollock, Director, etc., etc Dear Sir: The five cent nickel-copper pieces sent by Mr. Johnson, or the U. 8. Treasury at New York, have given occasion to an interesting and Important examination the first of the kind that we have been called on to make. Hitherto the counterfeits of this coin have usually been casta, but we have here a colnfige'wlth dies. There were eignt pieces. At nret sight the general appearance as to engraving and color led to the belief that four were genulue and four counterfeit, wiilch, on further trial, proved to be the fact. Our most ready test with all kinds of com Is the weight, which counterfeiters can seldom bring outright. The true weight is 77 1-6 groins. Three of the pieces were grossly in error, being under 70 grains ; a fourth suspected piece happened to be Just right. Thia last piece was subjected to assay, and proved to con tain 14 per cent, nickel, Instead of 25 per cent, the lawful proportion. It also contained a large proportion of Bine: making In fact the usual "German silver." The dies were the same as In the other three, except the date, 1869; the others being '08 and '67. All these four plecea have a yellowish tint, and the engraving Is false and coarse, but not sufficiently so to be detected by a hasty Inspection. On the whole, it la a dan gerous Issue, and proves that, with more skill in engraving and alloying, great frauds could be practised. The genuine plecea were close to the legal weight. In this respect we have always found an admirable conformity of our five-cent pieces, as often as we have had occasion to try It. The specific gravity of the good pieces Is 8-98, or might be called oo, of the bad pieces, 8-72, which In the hands of a careful weigher would be a sure and conclusive test. The' pieces, except the one assayed, are returned. Re spectfully yours, . J. 1L Kckfkldt, Assayer. Director Pollock, in forwarding the report of the Assayer to New York, wrote aa follows: "In addition to what Mr. Eckfeldt has said, I may say aa a further test, you will find the motto, 'In God we trust,' a good deal larner in the counterfeit than In the genuine. The yellow color of the coun terfeit will also afford some test, etc. This appear ance la caased by the presence of zinc, which la not in the genuine." - It la to be hoped that all : persona through whose hands any considerable quantity ef five cent plecea pass will examine them in the light of the suggestions given above, and use their endeavors to trace the counterfeits to their aource. The counterfeiting of five-cent pieces is about as small a piece of disreputable business that a man can engage in, and all who are eu gaged in the business should be brought to grief as soon as possible. There la doubtless quite as much of the bogus coin in circulation here aa in new xorK. Caught in the Act. Mr. Jacob SDielberirer. butcher, at No. 959 North Third street, has ior aome time past been missing pork, lard. etc.. from , his establishment. A few davs aero he made complaint to the police, and Officer Leldy was detailed to watch the premises. This morning early one of the workmen was seen to aeave tne place with a large kettle la his pos session. The kettle contained some fiftv nounds of lard. The man carried the property to Her man Wehner'e grocery store, at George and 8t, -John streets. The workman is named George Ulman.

In the Fonrth division of the Twenty-sixth ward the re Curna were found to be 188 for Diamond and SM for Watt There waa no copy of the general return for the division in the box, as there should have been. In the Third division box a Judge's certirtoate waa found, which la an unusual paper. The return, attested by all the officers, was found to be 45 for Watt and 15 for Diamond, which waa the same in all the paper. An order waa then mado to produce all the boxes of the Twenty-sixth ward, thirty in all, and officers were despatched for them. After the boxes arrived tbe counsel on both sides agreed to rpcelve the returns of the Prothonotary as duplicates without examining the boxes.

Funeral of the Murdered Editor at Ilavaaa. The funeral of Castanon waa the largest that has ever taken place In Havana, ten thousand persons and hundreds of carriages taking part in the procession. The body waa carried on the shoulders of the volunteers, while the most prominent citizens of Havana acted aa pall bearers. The streets were lined with spectators, and it ia computed that over fifty thousand per sona occupied the sidewalks. Political and personal enemies forgot their rancor, Mr. Gclpi, of the Prensa, and Ariza, of the Diaria, being the pall-bearers. At several plaees along the route the procession was stopped to allow some ladies to place crowns of evergreens and immortelles on tbe coffin. That the death of Castanon waa felt could be seen in the faces of the men, and many women cried when the sad cortege passed. Castanon'a children ore now under the protection of the Spaniards, thousands of dollars being dally sub scribed to place them beyond want. Had the Spaniards only carried out their original inten tion ot not committing a single act of retalia tion, the effect of Castanon'a tragic end would have been Imperishable, both at home and abroad. The sat-riflce of the several victims, no matter how guilty they may have been, has to .a certain extent obliterated the effect pro- .uuueu, at jasi in ine eyes oi lorcignera.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, Feb. 12. The Senate Commit tee on Territories la maturing a bill that it ia ' thought will settle the difficulties said to exist in Utah.

There is a conflict between the two committees on the subject, and it looks as if In this fight the Mormons will be left undisturbed. A SURPMSE. Mark Twain la the Vletltn of a "Flrtli It had been arranged that Mr. and Mrs. ' Clemens should proceed at once to their boarding-house, on arriving ia Buffalo from Elmlra, , While the rest of the wedding party were to be -domiciled at the Tift House. The securing of a ' desirable, genteel home In a private family had " been delegated to an intimate friend and rest- 1 dent of Buffalo, who, understanding the tastes ' and requirements of the youug couple, wonld of . . course be the best person to make for them judleioua arrangements. Mr. Clemens, having been absent on his lecturing tour for the past few months, accepted the assurance that every thing had been attended to. At the depot hearty "gooU-nighta" were exchanged, the larger party driving to the hotel, the bride and groom tak ing u carriage for more quiet quarters. Stop ping Jn front of a modest but very attractive brick house in the upper part of Delaware street, Mr. Clemens was somewhat surprised to be met in the hall by the father of the bride and his own siBter, whom ho supposed already quar tered at the hotel. The landlady of the house suddenly disappeared from the ?';ne, and as leaf by leaf of the charming little drama un folded, Mark Twain found himself the victim ot ' what he termed a first-class swindle," the pro prietora and abettora of which were the de lighted father and mother who stood there silent spectators of the happlnesa they had prepared "' lor their children in the gift of thia beautiful -home. For once the fun-loving Mark failed in. repartee, and moistened eyes spoke deeper thanks than words. Nothing that love or wealth could suggest or supply was wanting to make ' the scene the fulfilment of the poet's dream, from the delicate blue satin drawing room to the little sanctum quite apart, with its scarlet upholstery, amid ' the pretty adornments ot which icspiration must often come to Its happy ' occupant.
