The Court held that the police is- trates authorized by the charter to be selected from among the county justices are officers of the Corporation, and that all officers except those elective by the people, must be appointed upon nomination by the Mayor to the rd of ‘Alder. men. F 1 am unable to discover ars poe upon which the Trustees of the Public Schools can be with- drawn from the operation of this decisis. The argument in favor of considering the police mag- Istrates “officers of the Corporation,”” seems to apply with increased force to the case of the trus- tees Lam, Sir. very respectful J. M.

Tuk River.—The owners of the Lady Gay Spanker, and the men about the Long Bridge, are not satistied with the result of the late regatta. ‘They think the Spanker df not get a fair sho 7 in the race, having been wnfortanate in partis her peak balyards. aud they propose to have ano- ther race and enter the Spanker singly against her at the fate race, for $50 a side, or toenter her against all of the beats which participated in the late contest, each owner to put in and sweep stakes ; whether this offer will be accepted by the other parties, remains to be seen. At Riley's wharf arrived sehr. Arkansas, Capt. Harrington, from Philadelpbia, with 100 tons of coal for T.W. Riley. At the above wharf ar- rived yesterday morning something like 2,000 bushels of oysters, more than 1,00 bushels of which were carted uptown during theday. Some 300 bushels were brought up by Capt. Tignor from Tangier creek, and were of excelientquality, The larger portion of them were purchased by P. H. Benter for his restaurant. At Magruder & Ston2’s wharf, arrived schooner Euphrates, Quintin, from Philadel phia,with eoal for T. Branson. An_uuderstanding has been effected between the to lines of steamboats—the Collyer and the Paye—that they are to make regular trips between Washington and Alexandria, so as not to inter- fere with each other's operations. This arrange- ment will be of yreat service to the public, if strictly adhered to; and jt remains tu be seen which line will fail to keep the compact. There can be no doubt that if Poth Nines conform in every respect to the rule of regular hours, the owners will reap great advantages on both sides. Tur Moxtcomery Gvanps* target shooting excursion to Berry's woods, yesterday, was a very lively affair. The shooting was excellent, considering the practice of those who entered for the contest.

To Le the instrumentof reward- ing merit is alwaysa pleasing task; but, as in this case, where the interest and competition in- volved in this practice tend so directly to make volunteers ad marksmen and practical soldieis, Ifind it aduty incumbent on me to do all in my power to cive it a hearty co-operation and en- couragement.

In those ranks no distinctions of party cau be recognized, either litieal or religion here, all true soldiers stand shoulder to shoulder, with souls filled with pa- triotic devotion to these United States of America, and with arms and hands ever ready to defend them against their enemies. In the appointments and arrangements of your voluntary association. you have, in a particular manner, illustrated and proved your concurrence in these views ; and are, therefore, entitied to the confidence and encouragement of your fellow- citizens, because you have viven the best guaran- tee that in civil life, you will prove quiet, peace- able and law-abiding citizens,tolerant in principle and generous in action. Connected with this illustration, I might proceed te dwell upon the mutual relations and confidence subsisting be- tween your company and your estimable, intelli- gent, and yallant otficers; suflice it to say that, in the judgment of the community in which you live, you Se done honor to your company by their specintmaent while, on their part, they have felt proud in the command of men identify- ing themselves with the devoted spirit of Mout- goimery.

Miles, of Tennessee, while intoxicated, kicked up a row in the streets, near the Capitol, and abused passers-by in an outrageous manner. He was arrested by the watehmen on that beat. but declined to yo with them, and as he was rather too heavy for them to lift conveniently, they deposited bim ina light wagon, and three of them seizing the shafts and the fattest of the party pushing behind with all the leverage of his immense weight, they trun- dled their man to the guard-house, where be was fined $5 and costs. Last Nicut as the Montgomery Guards were passing along Pennsylvania avenue, near Browns’ Hotel, some one in the crowd near the ranks fired a pistol in the air, bX peebille through pure wan- tonness, and then ran towards Seventh street and escaped im the crowd near the market.
