LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tue Peetic Scnoots —An adjourned meeting ofthe Board of Trustees of the Public Schools was held at the City Hall yesterday afternoon, to take Into consideration the annual report of the Secretary. which had been read and referred to a special committee for examination at the last meeting ‘There were present, besides the President, 3. Yorke AtLee, and the Secretary. S. A. H. Mc- Kim. Messrs. Wilson, Pearson, Polk, Magruder and Pendleton. The report was read and adopted. Mr. Pearson nominated Mi: arah Eckloff as sub-assistant of the female department of the Fourth District School ; confirmed. Mr. McKim spoke upon the subject ofa musical text book to be adopted and in the Public Schools. He stated that he had examined a book which Mr. Daniel had pro; to introduce into the schools over which he had Kien! = and found it to be in every verpecta Proper and thorongh ru- dimentary work. He proposed to have the said work adopted into all the schools whe e music was taught. Mr. Magruder objected to the proposition as being premature. i Mr. Wilson thought that the adoption of a work on inusic in the schools of this city was highly improper. inasmuch as the City Counoils had not yet made any provision for the establishment of music as a branch of education; he suggested that no more be done with regard to the subject util the Corporation should take some action in the matter. So the subject was dropped informally. ‘The Chair cailed the attention of the Board to error which appeared in the list of books, pub- lished in a city paper, stating that he knew not who gare the editor of that ged the authority ol aes to publish an imperfect list. inted out the fact that Wercester’s Speller, which appeared in that list, was not yet published, and would not be oat for six weeks hie thoag bt the committ on books should have examined. with a view to correct such errors in the list tained; he did not understand how the con ttee could have adecision upon the lst in the face of all the facts; he thought the commitiee could not have examined it very searchingly to have overlooked so essential a point Mr Magruder thought the most important duty of the Board consisted in a jndicious sclection of bouks for the use of the schools; if the book was ow the list, and not yet published, it surely could not have been examined by the commiite e moved that W orcester’s Speller be stricken f. the list; carried. Mr. Pearson wished to know what the undeg- standing wus in the Board in relation to the Di tionary Which had been adopted by the Board to be used fn the schools. He knew that the Board had formerly decided upon the use of Worcester’s school edition, but he had learned that Worcester’s book was used in the primary schools only, and the pupils were taught te pronounce according to that Standard, yet when they were admitted into the district schools they were introdaced to Web- ster’s Dictionary, which in many respects differed from Worcester’s. The Chair stated that Worcester’s was used as @ pronouncing dictionary in the district schools, and that Webster's large Dictionary was provided for all the district schools as a book of reference, it being preferable to Worcester’s in the number and precision of the definitions. Some disxcnesion here arose — the sabject of the List of books to be used in the public schools. Mr. Pendleton stated that the committee who had beeu appointed to examing and report upen the list bad never done so, according to their own ‘statement ; he thought that if the committee ne- giected their duties as members of the Board, the only working man on that committee who had done his best to examine the list and report upon it should not be censured by the Board. The Secretary, who was the only member it seemed. who had interested himself in the matter suf- ficiently to make any examination of the list was, it ‘would seem, under the imputation of having transeended his cut The Chair made reply that the question of the list of books was now decided, but that he and others, members of the Board. were struek at the time the list had been reported upon by the words of the Secretary. who had used the term “the committee unanimously report’ It now turns out that no member of the committee except the Secretary had anything todo with the adoption of the list. Mr. Magruder said that he had not made any temarks in relation to the matter which were un- called for. But he was satisfied that the commit- tee had neglected their duty. He knew that for- merly the committee of examination used to meet and consult as many as four or five times uponthe adoption of the list, and it was considered an im- tant function by the Board. He did not desire epee on any individual of the committee, but a duty of this nature should be properly dis- charged. Mr. Polk moved to reconsider the vote by which the list had been adopted, and have it Teferred in tothe committee "he Chair stated that no one now found fault ‘with the list; but the discussion had arisen by a member wishing to vindicate another member from aa implied fault. The thing was now deci- died, and the Board satisfied ‘The Chair then presented the report of the pro- credings of the Board of Trustees of Normal Schools, and the regulations adopted at the first meeting beld at Madison, Wisconsin, July 15th, , together with the laws creating the same. ‘The Chair stated that the Legislature of that State had pasxed a law giving 25 per centum of the proceeds of the sale of swamp lands granted them by Congress to establish normal schools for the education of teachers. Hesaid the proceed- tngs of that board would be useful hereafter to the board, in many rexpects The report was put on file; and. on motion of Mr. Pearson, the Board adjourned sine die. Fires.—Abont two o'clock this morning a de- sirnetive fire occurred on the corner of 4 and I streets. Island, which entirely consumed the shoe store of Mr. Spates, standing on the corner, and the dwelling house of Mr. Poulton, next door, besides destroying a new unfinished building, which was being bailt by Mr. Tell ‘The store of Afr. Spates was a small one-story frame, and bis loss is estimated at 2700. The loss te $1,000, covered by an insurance of S600. Mr. ‘Tell loses S600, uninsured The fire companies were on the spot very soon after the fire broke out. The American Hook and Ladder Company were active in extinguishing the flames, and also other fire companies that re- mained on the —— until the flames were en- tirely extinguished About I2 0’clock an alarm was caused by the burning of a frame dwelling on M st-eet, near the Navy Yard. The house belonged to B. Girer, and was occupied by a German fainily. ‘The firemtn were called out early in the night by a false alarm that originated iu the Fifth Ward, wear the Capitol. Tus Rivea —Thesebr. Commerce arrived yes- terday at the mouth of the canal from Port De- posit, freigited with lumber At Galt & Young’s wharf, arrived schr. Eldo- rado, Capt. Williams, from Philadelphia, with 113 t_ns of coal for T. J. & W. M_ Gait, and sloop J. M. Clayton, Capt. Hancock, from same port, with 70 tons of coal for G. Waters. AtR s. arrived schr Ready, Capt. Calla- * han, from Philadeiphia, with =5 tons of coal for H_ Fowler The steamer Maryland arrived up at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, bringing one hundied and thirty passengers. The Old’ Dominion Guards who were expected to arrive by the Maryland, did not come up ; the cause for the change in their ted. ‘The Maryland passed off jemoy Reach, a large square rig, upward bound. Also, off White Point, passed upward bound, a large brig ander full sai: ‘The Powbatan {n her passage up the river last night, passed a large namber of coasters, and a large three-masted schooner, bound up. A CuRiositTY —Some days since we noticed that a type foonder at Buffaio had completely en- cased a ripe pear in a cout of by the elec- troty pe process, and expected to preserve the f: uit for y bond generations. We have now before usa singularly beautiful specimen of this nature, being & pear with its accompanying foliage, <o perfectly encrusted with the metal as toappear lixe acopper > and yet with every feature of the fruit and Bore of the foliage represented with the accuracy of a daguerreotype. it was executed some three ago by Mr —- Mathbiot, electrochemist, Teast Servey office. Curiously enough, a worm enclosed in the pear at the time it received its me- tallic bath, managed, not only to survive, but to eut up the fruit and make his exit at the blossom end, leaving the thin shell of copper. Crry IeprovemEyts —The improvement of Hi street from North Capitol to Third street, is now under contract, and commenced. The sewer through square 52, being a contin- uation of the Government sewer tly bh Judi- ciary Square is in hand. Thespan of this sewer is eight feet, and, when completed, will make a continuous sewer from the corner of Fifth and D streets to the arch over the Tiber at Indiana avenue. It isan important work. The erection of a wooden bridge across H street and ‘Tiber Creek bas been commenced, as also the bridge over North Capitol street between New York ave- nue and First street. These improvements are under the supervision of Commissioner Owens of the Third and Fourth Wards. ANOTHER OF THE JuvENILE Ganc.—A colored boy named James Johnson, was arrested this morning for stealing a $5 gold piece, a haif and tongue dollar pieces = pocket of a man named Wilson, a butcher. He was Ukes before Justice Smith and sent to jail. This boy is but nine years old Raat Estate.—VYesterday, Jas. C. McGuire, Auctioneer, sold Lot No. 1, in square 158, about aon Wm. E. Spalding, forsx cents le é. a Boteler, Auctioneer, sotd brick and lot, on Sixth street, between G and H st: a for $1,400, t IMPROVEMENT# aBour THE ExeccTIVE MAN- sion —In pursuance of an appropriation made by Congress, at its last session, for a conservatory and stable avd various other improvements about the President’s House, the plans of the said im- Provements made by Mr. Clark, architect, were adopted, and the new stable has been erected in the south end of the old flower gardens. The building is large and commodious, having sta- ble room for eight horses, a large room caj of containing four carriages, an extensive room, wide fe through the centre, and hav- ing on the Lee floor a room to contain hay, besides two rooms fitted up in comfortable style, to accommodate the President's groom and coachman. Tbe building is constructed in mod- ern style, and is fitted with every convenience that the ingenuity of mar could well conceive. Great regard is paid in its construction to ventil- lation, by the construction of a cold-air chamber, which conveys the air from without through an iron gratin, fn front of each horse, while through narrow windows in the rear,the air, as fast as used, passes out. The floors are puddied down in clay cement; and, as an experiment, one of the floors is to be of gutta percha, which is said to be well suited for such Rpyposes, when made of the proper consistency. e water is conveyed from the old stable pump by means of lead pipe to all the rooms, and, passing off underneath, is con- veyed away by a sewer leading into the main sewer of the grounds. It has been feared that the construction of the stable at this point would mar in some degree the beauty of the flower gardens; but the construc- tion of the new conservatory at the western ex- tremity will give occasion for the removal of the flower gardens from the present locality to the grounds peers ee new conservatory, and now used as a vegetable garden, and the old flower garden will converted into a vinery and fruit garden. The new conservatory is in course of construction under the charge of J. B. Turton, builder, auld is to be one hundred and seventy feet in extent by thirty-two feet wide and eigh- teen feet in height. It will have a main and pr vate entrance from the west end of the Presiden- tial Mansion—one prey from the Congress dining room and the other from the private rooms of the President. It ts intended to have this con- servatory filled with the choicest yreen-house plants that cau be obtained from all parts of the world. It is to be heated by means of a steam psig from the manufactory of Nason, of New York, who furnished the furnace last year for the President’s House, which has given en- tire satisfaction—being self-regulating and eco- nomical in point of consumption of fuel. The grounds surrounding the Executive Man- sion never looked in better condition than at pr ent, giving evidence of the taste and good judg- ment of Mr. John Watt, the President's za-dener. Tur Trier axv Scott Dirricvity.—Mr. Walter Lenox bas !ssued the following card in relation to an affait which has occasioned some talk : os rae en Gombe sundry versions of fh Side dimicuity between Major Henry B. ler, of Washington city, and Mr. Robert E. Seott, of Fauquier county, Virginia, in which I am named as the a ES and responsible friend of one of the parties, ] think proper to state that on the 12th of ist last, at the a nig of Major Tyler, I waited on R.E. Scott, Esq., and informed him that Major ‘Tyler had placed in my hands a note to be delivered to him, and that it was induced by the course which Mr. Scott had pursued towards Major Tyler in his speech before the Criminal Court of the District of Columbia in defence of the rioters at the municipal election held on the first Monday of June past. Without presenting or announcing the specific character of the note which I was authorized to deliver, but in the exercise of that just discretion claimed by myself as due to all parties concerned, I deemed it proper first to express to Mr. S. a regret that any hostility should exist between gentlemen of their high standing and friendly relations, and that it was my earnest wish to prevent any serious issue between them. 1 then informed him that Major Tyler felt deeply agurieved at the course pursued by Mr, S. on that oecasion. Mr. S. expressed his surprise and re- gret that such was the case, and that he was not conscious of having transcended the privileges of counsel; that if Major Tyler would point out any offensive remarks le would cheerfully withdraw them. I remarked it was ti neral tenor and manner of his address of which Major Tyler com- plained, as injurious to his professional and per- sonal character. Mr. S. then said that he dis- claimed all puree of intending to reflect inju- riously or unkindly upon the character of Major ‘Tyler as a gentleman or bis conduct as an otticer; and that in bis speech he had aimed to exonerate the officers of the Marine Corps from censure, as they acted under the orders of their superiors. It it proper to state that Mr. 8. distinctly stated that in making these explanations of his purposes and feelings, be by no means intended to abandon or abate his rights or avoid his duties as counsel in this particular case.

Mr. Editor: The remarks in your paper of Monday touching the organization of the public schools of Washington, prompt me to say ef those in Georgetown that they have commenced with a greatly augmented prospect of usefulness. ‘The fine rooms of the old church, and the school farniture have been handsomely cleaned and painted ; and order and system are to be the future watch-words of the teachers and ‘Those who have heretofore stood aloof from the schools, are —— the advantages of the new order of things; and the guardians have deter- mined to order and tnaintain strict discipline, and to dismiss from the schools all who are un- worthy to enjoy their benefit, that those who a worthy, and are desirous to enter, may come in; and teay a neither few nor far between.

Arrival ef the Europa at Halifax. Hauirax, Sept. 9.—The Royal mail steamer Europa, from Live: lon the 29th, arrived this aameind: with three days’ later intelligence. The Baltic arrived out on the 28th and the Per- sia on the 2%b Aug. Parliament was prorogued on the 2th uit. The Queen's speech was delivered by commission, and was read the Lord Chancellor. The fol- lowing are its material points : “Her Majesty commands us to express to you her satisfaction that the present state of #ffairs in Europe impires well rounded confidence in the continuance of peace. Arrangements connected with the execution of the stipulations of the treaty of Paris have, from various causes, not ba been completed ; but Her Majesty trusts that by the earnest efforts of the contracting parties to the treaty all that remains to be done with reference to pe npelations may ere long be satisfactorily settled. Her Majesty commands us to inform you that the extensive mutinies which have broken ont among the native troops of the army in Bengal, followed by serious disturbances in many parts of that Presidency, have occasioned her Majesty ex- treme concern, and the barbarities which tove becn inflicted upon many of ber Majesty's sub- jects in India, and ghe sufferings which have been endured have filled her Majesty's heart with the deepest grief, while the conduct of many civil and military officers who have been placed incir- cumstances of much didiculty, and are being ex- posed to great danger, has excited her warmest admiration Her Majesty commands us to tnform you that she will omit no measures calculated to quell these grave disorders, and is confident that with the blexsing of Providence, the power at her dis- posal will enable her to accomplish that end The speech then thanks Parliament for the lib- eral supplies for the Princess Royal's dowry ; and for the assurance of support to restore tranquility to India. It expresses satisfaction at the liquida- tien of the Danish Sound Dues redemption with- out adding to the national debt, and gratification at the passage of the Divorce Bill, and sundry other acts of local importance. In the House of Commons, prior to reading the speech, Lord Palmerston said that telegraph com- munication with India via the Enphrates, had not yet been sanctioned by the Turkish Government. The British Government would, of course, be glad to avail themselves of the line via Suez when completed. Sir De Lacy Evans inquired whether it was in- acre by Government to render any aid to Brit- ish bu ord Palmerston replied in the affirmative. Capt. Mangles, on behalf of the court of direct- ois of the India Company, said that aid would be rendered to all sufferers, both civil and military, : Both Houses of Parliament have adjourned sine ie. ‘The Queen had gone to Balmoral. Nothing official had been promulgated as to the Atlantic telegraph, but it appears to be taken for granted that the enterprise will be postponed till next suminer, The London Times and other leading papers strongly urge the immediate construction of a telegraph to India, and the acquisition of the At- Jantic cable for that purpose. The Times, in a leader on the subject, sats: “ The Atlantic Telegraph Company, in the ex- ercise of their discretion, have decided on not immediately renewing the attempts to connect England with the United States, and their cable is dis, ble fora similar enterprise in another direction.” An impression prevailed that the cable could be bought for India The 27th annual congress of the British Associ- ation assembled at Dublin on the u A special correspondent of the Times, writing from Macon, Ga., ridicules the fainous Arrow- Smith Georgia Railroad hoax pronouncing ita mere hallucination, with no foundation whatever.
