Orricn Trusters or Pusiic ScHoo.s, ASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 1856. Gentlemen :—I beg leave respectfully to tender my resignation of the office of Secre- tary of the Board of Trustees of Public Schools, to take effect at the close of the present month. The duties of my present vocation, the care and education of my own children, and the impaired state of my healtb, prevent me from visiting the schoo!s so frequently as their in- terests demand, and from giving then. that attention which is properly required of the Seeretary by the rules of the Beard In taking leave of the Board, with which I have been connected for nearly twelve years, it gives me great satisfaction to believe that the discipline of the public schools was never better than it now is, nor the system more suc- cessful and efficient in its operations, its hold upon public opinion stronger, nor its future prospects more bright and encouraging. This measure of success is due, under Prov- idence, to the careful superintendence of the Trustees, to the sealous and unwearied exer- tions of faithful, laborious and accomplished teachers. the earnest and cordial co-vperation of the City Councils, and the healthy influ- ence of a sound public opinion Accept my thanks for the aid and encour- agemeut which you have given me in the dis- eharge of the responsible dutie: of the office with which I have been nonored ; and the ex- Sera of my confident belief that the pub- ic schools of Washington will continue to be, as they heretofore always have been, schools for the people, without distinction of class, sect, or party, and, which, with the liberal patronage of Congress, are destined to become the model schools of the Republic. With my best wishes for your continued success in the discharge of the important trusts confided to your care, and for your individual prosperity and happiness, | remain, gentle- wen, very respectfully, your obedient servant, G@ J. Anzor. The Board of Trustees then adjourned EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCF, Crmaisat Covet.—Upon the indictment charging Demaine with having been con- cerned in the robbery of John E.

All this property, we are informed, belonged to persons in moderate circumstances, and was destroyed most proba- bly by the act of an incendiary. About ten o’clock Steamboat Hotel on Seventh street, opposite the Centre market, was discovered tobe burning. The fire broke out through the roof, and was probably caused by an accident inside the building. The alarm was given and the firemen, police, and aux- itiary guards were soon on the spot endeavor- ing to extingaish the fiames and save the sur- rounding property from destruction by the thoughtless and excited crowd, ready to give assistance, but not knowing where to begin.

There was no reason he said, for apprehending that Napoleon had any such intention The Morning Advertiser gays that the American gee ye may be regarded as virtu- ally settled, and it will be probably be an- nounced in the speech of her Majesty on the prorogation of Parliameat The terms agreed op are thatthe Bay Islands revert to Hondu- ras, that Republic pledging itself never to cede them to any other Power, or allow inter- ferenco in their affairs. America heartily an- quiesces in this ent, and jolosina tripartite with Honduras to carry the agree- ment into effect. France is also a consenting party to the agreement, and expressed readi ness to sign the treaty if deemed necessary. FRANCE The intentions of the French regarding Spain are the subject of much ulation in Paris. It is said that if 0 Donnell is successful France can have no occasion to interfere. Qn the other hand, should the Liberals succeed, and the Queen be required to abdicate in favor of the Princess of Asturias, with Espartero as regent, veither would France interfere; but if the Duchess of Montpensier should become next heir to the throne, or should a republic be proclaimed, then France would invade Spain Prince Lucien Bona- parte has gone on a mission to Madrid. SPAIN. Advices from Spain of the 18th give the offi- cial accounts of the insurrection. The Na- tional Guard was almost entirely disarmed. Dowiciliary visits were being made to secure all arms in the hands of citizens. Numerous arrests had also been made. In Madrid the Royal troops are estimated to have lost forty or fifty killed and one hundred wounded. The loes of the insurgents iznot known. The fight- ing at Barcelona lasted two days. A portion of the troops at Saragossa remain feitnful to the Queen. ‘he Government is dispatching all available troops towards this last strong- hold of the insurrectionists, with orders not to fight in the streets, but bombard the city from the adjoining forts. The London Sun says that twelve hundred were killed in the streets of Barcelona; the people fought behind barricades, with deter- mined courage for three days, when their leaders deserted. ‘The latest advices announce that Madrid is tranquil. Espartero is still there, but 0’ Don- neil nad offered him his passports to any part of Spain or abroad Private accounts say that the ry troops showed great ferocity at Madrid, having butchered several comps- nies of the National Guard after their sur- render Marshal Narvaez offered his services to O'Donnell when the affair commenced. He has been appointed Miniter to Paris. Panis, July 24 —The Royal troops are mas- ters of every point in Barcelona, but still re- main underarms.
