Tus Scnoo, Examinations.—The examina- tion of Miss Milburn’s school (Female Depart- ment, Fourth district) took place yesterday after- noon, and we need not say was largely attended ; this depa:tment, like the male branch of the same school, having for years maintained a front rank amony the District Schools In the gathering, which filled the upper school room, we noticed Messrs AtLee, McKim. Pen- dleton, Polk, Wilson, and Pearson of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Hyde of Georsetown, Rev. Mr. Samson, Messrs. Hardy, Sessford. Richards, and Abbot, Rev Mr. Mirick, Mr. Randolph, and the Rev.

The various classes examined exhibited agreat and remarkably uniform degree of proticieacy ; thaps, if there was a shade of superior excel- lence It was shown by the classes in Grammar and Mental Arithmetic. The first-mentioned class was examined by one of our ablest word- erities, and they came uP to the work in a man- ner to €xtort no unstinted commendation from that gentleman. On the examination of the class in Mental Arithmetic great amusement was creatcd by the demonstrated fact that the mental perception of the pupils were so actively developed by their training, that they almost fnvariably shot ahead of their questioners in arriving at results; and, as it were. in solving the problems, actually taught their teachers. The singing of the pupiis was good, very good, as their f-lends had a right to expect. who fad second, third, Messrs. Rich- in conclusion, their performances at the Smithsonian Institu- | tion. Mr. Glenroy, their teacher, has still fur- ther advanced them in their musical training. In another year we hope to see the boys of the Public Schools taking their position in these ju- venile choirs. Some remarkably spirited pen and ink draw ings, (heads, and well-exccured colored ma by Misses Mary Amidon, Geneva Reed, and iieaie Harbaugh (and sweet little Misses they were) claimed the attention of the visitors ; as did alse a fine composition on ‘‘Music,’’ by Miss Amidon. hough the pupils were not exactly upon ex- amination in this respect, we must not in justice to them omit to notice the pleasing appearance they made externally in their snowy white dresses and sashes of green. Upon the conclusion of the exercises Mr. At- Lee, of the Board of Trustees, called upon Mr. Richa:ds and other g@ntlemen present to address the school Mr. Richards, in responding, expressed his great gratification at the progress evinced by the pupils, and also at the nature of that prozress. heir training had been thorough, and such as to make them self-reliant, and they were now well fo red to take up the more advanced studies. What had struck bir as remarkable was the uni- form development of the classes ; and he express- ed the opinion that the best teacher was the one who produces the greatest good to the greatest namber of scholars, and who does not push for- wara afew pupils at the expense of the others. He dwelt upon the great excellence displayed by the class in Arithmetic. Last Christmas he paid a visit to the chief pub- lic schools of Boston, and was present at an ex- amination of the Hancock-street school, consid- ered the best in that city, and at the very elalx - rate Arithmetica] examination there entered upon no greater proficiency was exhibited than by the ps pils just exami in the same branch. Ar. Hyde, of Georgetown, next addressed the pupils, and while complimenting them upon their great progress, expressed his regret that his own city had not such school system. 4 Mr. Mirick. the next speaker, expressed him- self as especially pleased with the promptness of the pupils in replying to Ss whe.e vocal answers were demande He warmly advocated the establishinent of a Public High School, male and female, in this city. and hoped the Trustegs would not rest till they got one. Mr. Polk complimented the the elear and au young ladies on ible manner in which they hud ues. Many seemed to think there were no labi- Lp-sounds in our lahguaye. The young might learn, however. at the proper timy, that their lips were not useless. (Here the mer- riest laughter possible burst from all the rosebud lipsin the room, and Mr. Polk beat a precipitate retreat, perhaps feeling himself on uasafe ground, being a bachelor.) The eveving’s agreeable exercises and enter- tainment closed here, and Miss Milburn was speedily surrounded by her army of fast friends, pouring in their congratulations upon the success of the examination. Joun Butver, atias WiLLiaAMs.—Yesterday, the farther hearing of the case of this fellow for the robbery of R. W. Carter’s store, took place atthecounty jail before Justice Smith, at 4o0’clock m. Officer Wollard stated that when he went with Captain Mills to the house to arrest Butler, he saw him in the act of removing the goods in the house. Butler was fully committed for Court. We ave informed that Otticer Daw yeste.day morning recovered a large lot of goods Lrg, <2 to Mr. Carter, at a place in the First Ward. This lead ¢ officers to suspect that Butler is but one of a ane engaged in this business.

Jy 14-3t* Criminat Covrt.—Yesterday, after our report closed, the Grand Jury came in and were dis- charged, at their own request, until Thursday morning at Il o'clock. Cordelia Hazle was brought into Court and sentenced to ten months’ imprisonment in jail and a fine of $1 on the case No. 185, it being that of the breastpin larceny. Tais morning, the cases of Wm. Taylor, Jobn Hall and Frank Elliot, charged with being en- gaged ina riot at the house of Joseph Gerhardt on the Lith day of June last, was taken up. Mr. Radcliffe, for one of the defendants, asked that the cases might be tried. by a jury who had not sat in the Gerhardtcases The Court granted the request; not, howeve-, admitting that the cases had any connection with each other, as had been suggested by the counsel as a ground for the nest. Nhe witnesses for the prosecution were called ; they are the same as inthe former trials of Ger- hardt. It was found, on comparing the names of the jurors, that (there being but twenty-nine ju- Tors on the panel) there would be a necessity for @ new panel; so anew jury was accordingly sum- moned. Robert Cross will be tried to-morrow for shoot- ing Officer Thompson, in the discharge of his daty, on the day when he was arrested. The case of the Gerhardt rioters waits for a jury as this report closes. CenTRE MarkeT.—Supplies fair this morning and no material variation in prices, which were as follows: Beef, per 1b. Pork.
