Tus Promexape Coxcert.—Owing to the sain which had very recently ceased, the promenade concert on Saturday afternoon in ‘the public grounds immediately south of the Executive mansion was not as well attended as usual, though a large concourse of ladies, gentlemen, and children with their nurses, ‘were present. The air was delightfully ccol, and a bracing breeze was blowing, which seemed not only to give life and vigor to the company onthe greund, but to inspirit the Marine d, which was out in all its strength, to extra exertions. The pieces for the occa- sion were happily chosen as follows viz : Hail Columbia, Morning Star Polka, Grand Quickstep Medley, Rose Lee, Mary Blane, Overture Fra Diavola, Cora Memoria primes iccolo—solo,) Monte Blane Polka, Medley, Kitty Dear, Anty Stowe, Kathleen Mavour- neen Waltz, My home, my home, my happy home, in quickstep time. The band excelled on this occasion any of their previous performances in the public gro aad were listened to much more atten- tively than usual. During the performance of the variations on the beautiful theme Cora Memoria, a beautiful set. indeed, all present Yemained fixed in their several positions, the music completely overcoming the many in- ducements to stroll around. Young Frederick Prosperi proved himself, in his execution on the piccolo of those variations, one of the vay finest performers in the country on that de- dightful and so effective instrument in concert when played by a master performer. The Whole ment of the piece was beautiful, and should published, the accompanimer' being in capital taste, indeed. : (If the three gans no NeePhwwe Usiox AcapaMy.—This institution, which is located on the corner of New York Avenue and Fourteenth strect, under the superintend- ence of Mr. Z. Richards, an indefatigable and successful instructer, celebrated the close of the scholastic year on Friday evening by a public distribution of premiums. The heavy Yain which occurred about the time appointed for the commencement of the exercises prevent- ed the attendance of many who would other- wise have been present. The uafavorable weather was not, however, sufficient todampen the ardor of the pupils, particularly the suc- cessful competitors tur the rewards of merit, who received their several prizes with joyful hearts and smiling countenances. The exer- cises of the female department of this acade- my, under the care of Mrs. Richards, consis- ting of the reading of compositions and the distribution of premiums, took place in the afterrom. Both branches of the academy were closed by appropriate remarks from the teachers, and will re-open on the first Monday in September next. Gzorgetowx Coutece,—The annusl com- mencement of this institution is to take place to-morrow, commencing at nine o'clock in the morning.

Tus Portis or tux WasHineton SeminaRy inade a beautiful appearance as they marched through our streets this morning, accompanied by Prosperi’s band. The boys were uniformly clad in white pantaloons, black jackets and flat caps, wearing badges and sashes, indica- tive of the several classes to which they be- long. The stars and stripes and other banners were carried in procession. The faculty walked in the rear. They proceeded to Carusi’s Saloon, where many of the pupils delivered speeches and dialogues before the crowded auditory, acquit- ting themselves creditably. Our limits pre- vent us from publishing the programme The address of Richard W. Clarke, Esq., to the students, was highly appropriate and clo- quent The band played during the intervals of the declamation. The distribution of premiums concluded the exercises. Tar Rav.

W. Davis, chairman, Messrs. Dickinson, Ba- peer Magruder, Hanson, AtLee, Knight, and Letters of i for teachershij received from Biss Bradley and Mr. which were read and referred. Leave of absence was given to Mrs. Coale in consequence of sickness. Miss Campbel!’s resignation was received and accepted, and the sub-board of the first district authorized to fill the vacancy tempo- rarily. The sub-board of the first district was also authorized to make the necessary arrange- ments for the occu; of the new schoo! house recently pure! , and to give the cus- tomary notice to the trustees of the Potomac Chapel. The several sub-boards were instructed to make the custontary arrangements for the de- livery of the annual addresses. On motion of Mr. AtLee the 48th rule was amended so as to read ; ‘““The teachers are required and directed to read sclections from the Bibles presented by the American Bible Society, witkoet note or comment, in their respective schools, as an opening exercise.’’ The following resolution, on motion of Mr. Hanson, was presented and laid on the table, to nee consideration at the next meeting : _ Whenever a papi, in any one of the pub lic schools, shall have been absent five daysin any one month, unless such absence be occa- sioned by the sickness of such pupil, or by the presence of a contagious disease in the family to which the family belongs, it shall be the duty of the teacher to strike the name of the pupil from the roll of the school, and such pu- pi after being so suspended, shall not again e considered a candidate for admission till the commencement of the following seholastic year. The object of the rule is to prevent the loss and waste of school-time by the unnecessary absence of the pupils, and to make room for pupils who will attend school regularly. The teachers report that from one-quarter to one- fifth of the school-time is lost by the staying away of the pupils, while a large number, who want to be admitted, are daily refused admis- sion. Atthe present moment there aro one hundred and eighty-two pupils applying in vain for admission, all but eleven of whom are in the third and fourth districts. The usual monthly reports, with one excep- tion, were received. The following list of books was ordered to be used from the commencement of the next scholastic year: FOR PRIMARY SCHOOLS. Holy Bible. * Swan’s Spelling Books, Nos. 1, 2, 3, Swan’s Readers, Nos. 1, 2, 3. Swan’s Grammar School Reader. Payson and Dunscomb’s Writing Books. Perkins’s Primary Arithmetic.

PLEASURE IN PROSPECT.—It Will be seen, by ‘erence to our advertising columns, that the axcursion of the American Friendship Associ- ation to the White House, will take place to- morrow; the Steamer Thomas Collyer, which has been engaged for the occasion, leaving the wharves of Washing, Georgetown, and Al- exandria, in the morning, at the hours named. Prosperi’s band has been engaged, a fact which doubtless will be gratifying to those who love todance. The good things of the season will be served by a popular caterer. The weather promising to be extremely pleasant, will heigh- ten the enjoyment. The Good Will Club have chartered the Steamer George Washington, end will give their first grand ‘*Moonlight Excursion and Pie-Nic’’ at the White House pavilion on Thursday, the 19th instant; and they have, following the fashion and consulting the taste of the times, engaged a superior brass and string band for the occasion. The Western Hose Company announce their Grand Firemen’s and Civic Moonlight Exeur- sion, in the Steamer George Washington, for Monday afternoon, the 234 of July. Fisher's band has been engaged. The members of ‘‘Our Club,” of Georgetown, announce a Grand Pie-Nic and Excursion down the Potomae, on or about the 16th of the pres- ent month. “The Merry Bachelors’? intend having a Grand Pic-Nic at the White House on the 26th instant. Horrip.—This morning, while wo wero sit- ting in a police office, a gentleman came in very much excited, and asked for a warrant to search the house of a woman named Arn Padgett, situated in that section of the city ususliy designated as Swamp-poodle. The gentleman has a daughter thirteen years old. and she left his house last Saturday night, and had not returned. Upon inquiry for her this morning, a young man told him that he had seen her at that Ronde. The parent made his statement to the Justice in the presence of several gentlemen who were no doubt favora- ble to ** Lynch law’’ in such cases, and would willingly have united to deal justice to both parties concerned in the attempt to ruin the child; but which should be most severely dealt with, the receiver or the enticer, it is hard to determine. FuyeraL Sermon.—Yesterday morning, a sermon was delivered in the Methodist Pro- testant Church, Ninth street, by the Pape Rey. P. L. Wilson, upon the death of Mrs. G. A. Davis, late an exemplary member of that society. The reverend gentleman selected as his text the first clause of the 2Ist verse of the third chapter of the Epistle to the Phil- lipians. This discourse was such a one is should produce the effect intended. Rid of all unnecessary display, it was a pulpit effort more nearly typriachiog our ideas of the preaching of primitive Methodist ministers whose labors were so successful. Mrs. Tuompson, of Ohio, delivered a lec- ture on the subject of total abstinence, in Tem- ance Hall,, last night. before a large assem- ly. Her remarks, as we learn from a gen- tleman who was present, were well received by the auditory, and the manner of delivery, as well as the incidents of the discourse, cred- itable to the lady, who, impressed with the solemn duty of warning — pieces of the bad effeets of intemperance, has spoken in many places, with, pay is to be hoped, profit to those ‘waom she designed to benefit. Tue Criurnat Court was engaged, this mor- ning, in the trial of George sy an, colored, charged with the murder of an hostler, named Fitzpatrick, towards the close of last May, Mr. Key for the United States, and Messrs. Ratcliffe and Maury for the defence. A Trisz or Rep Mex, a benevolent associa- and composed of members of German birth, paraded this morning, pecoesieg to the Gardens between the Navy Yard and the Congressional cemetery, there to spend the day Tue Paxsivent of the United States, togeth- er with Mrs. Pierce, returned tu. the city o Saturday night, trom their visit to Cape Mey ‘nearly in half. Tnos. Burter.—We learn man who was so badly ma! on the 4th inst., by three others, is idly recove!

Forty Commrren.—Ellen Jackson and Thornton Kendall, colored, were fully commit- ted to jail for trial, for stabbing Robert Sumby with a butcher knife. [commenicaten. Mr. Editor: Permit an admirer of this “City of Magnificent Distances"’ to direct the early attention of the ‘ City Fathers” through one of the rays of the “‘ Evening Star,’’ whose ih ee and brilliancy is reflected in every nogk and crevice of the Metropolis, and whose infuses is felt and appreciated likewise, to the existence of a great and serious nuisance, in the very heart of our beautiful city. It is this—on the line of Pennsylvania avenue. both sides of the pavement, between Stott & Co.’s drug store and Seventh street, may be seen standing from morning to night quite a number of furniture wagons, carts, &c. Whether it has been made a public stand for vehicles of this description by a municipal regulation or not, I cannot say; but if such is the fact, its immediate repeal should be made, and some more suitable spot appropriated to their use. Behold here, in the very centre of the Metrop- olis, on its principal thoroughfare, and prom- enade for your ‘‘ fair ones,’’ may be seen con- stantly a number of wagons, carts, drivers, horses, &c., standing, and by the animals an offal is accumulated from day to day, which is permitted to remain, and increase in mag- nitude, with the heat from the sun pouring down upon it incessantly, thereby producing an efiluvia of the most noxious character. to be inhaled by all passers-by, your “ fair ones’’ not excepted, if, indeed, it does not produce disease. To add to the picture, at times may be seen the various drivers, (the greater portion of whom are of a sable com- plexion,) some in their shirt sleeves, standing In groups on the pavement, discussing sub- jects not of the most refined character, nor in the most classic nor chaste language, and at other times engaged in wrestling, and pugilis- tic feats of the ‘* Poole ’’ school, thereby ob- structing the thoroughfare to the great annoy- ance of all pedestrians. So very objectionable has this nuisance become, that. many prome- naders, especially of the “fairer portion,” unless absolute necessity requires it, will not pass below Seventh street to the Capitol, ex- Pressly to avoid it, and consequently the mer- cantile portion of the community on the ave- nue, east of Seventh street, are seriously af- feeted by it. Let us all sincerely pray for an early abolishment of this great nuisance. Yours, &c., Hat. Waren Retvrxs.—Wm. Cross, building fire in the streets; costs. Levi Aigner, Mi- chuel Dickinson, Jacob Merrett and John Ober, profanity; fine and costs. Thos. Woodward, out after hours; dismissed. Ann Green, drunk; dismissed. A Carp To rar Pusiic.—It has been charged against me by the Know Nothings of the city. and of the Seventh Ward particularly, that I furnished the editor of the Star with the list of names of the ancient city of Nineveh. I have taken every opportunity to deny the cor- rectness of the report, and even gone so far as to get acertificate from the editor of that paper. denying that I furnished him with the list, but it seems nothing will satisfy them. So far as I am concerned in the matter, I feel it my duty, under the circumstances, to place myself in a proper light before the community in regard to these charges. I therefore state that I never upon any oe- casion whatever, had any conversation with the editor of the Star upon the subject, nor did I ever furnish him {or any one) with any list of names of any society, as his certificate will show. In making this statement, permit me further to state that I feel it a duty I owe to myself, to my family, as well as to the public, to say that from this time my connection with the order of Know Nothings is at an end. I cannot consent to remain any longer with a party that would seek to do me so much injustice. “They have threatened we with violence, and heaped upon me yolumes’of abuse, and that of the most vulgar kind. They have gone so far as to at- tempt to assassinate me when I was in a strange town, and that at the midnight hour; but thanks to some kind friends, they were prevented; they have aiso, within the last few days, in this city, made a similar attempt. This, cer- tainly, is a free country, where every man has the right to express his political sentiments. I therefore, under the present cireumsta 5 and as an American citizen, claim such right; and so long as I have life I will maintain it— Know Nothingism to the contrary notwith- standing. I stand once more upon the broad platform of the Constitution of the United States, hoping that many others, like myself, may take the same stand, and come out from a party that would seek to do so much wrong in this our happy country.
