VOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Yours Men's Cuarstian Assoctation.—The fifth anniversary of the Young Men’s Christian Association was held last evening in the lecture Toom of the Smithsonian Institute. The audi- ence was large and intelligent, and manifested a great deal of interest in the proceedings. The exercises were commenced with an elo- queat invocation by Rev. Mr. Bittinger. After which the late President of the Association, W J. Rhees, Fsq_, read his annwal report. This document represents the Association, du- ring the pas: year, to have been remarkably pros- Perous and at the present time its condition is very enconragiug. As much, if not more than in former years, has been done towards promoting the spiritual and intellectual improvement of the members, and in active benevolence. The li- brary of the Association is increased to upwards of 2,000 volumes, its meetings are more largely attended, and the Mission Se Riots dependent on it are flourishing. Quite a number of the mem- bers are stated to bave removed from the city during the year, and some have been called to “another and a better world.’? Among the latter is named the first President of the Association, ‘xander H. Lawrence. The sermons and lectures delivered before the Association daring the year are enumerated, and the business meetings brietly noticed ‘The re- port then proceeds with a description of the mis- sion schools, and expecially notices the labors of Samuel H. Young, E chairman of the com- mittee on schools Of these schools there are four—the last one having been established in the hall of the Western Eosehouse, in September Inst. It is under the superintendence of Mr. Van Santvoord, and ix represented as being espe- cially prosperous for a new undertaking. An allusion is made in this part of the report to a worthy yonng lady. not named, who had gath- ered into her own residence a score or so of neg- jected children for the purpose of viving them Teligious instruction, dn the establishment of the new school in the vicinity of her residence. she transferred her scholars to it. The benevo- lent labors of those connected with this school are also spoken very highly of. ‘The sum of sie, besides numerons articles of wearing apparel are stated to have been distributed by the teachers among the poor and destitute. The next subject alluded to is the suengenest made for extending relief to the poor. In this Work the Association has co-operated with the Young Catholic’s Friend Society and the Ladies’ Union Benevolent Society. Various other mat- ters pertaining to the objects and labors of the Association are briefly noticed and the Presi- dent then takes up the matter of finances. Al- though several bundred dollars in debt at the commencement of the year, it appears that those liabilities have been fully discharged, and there is now a surplus in the treasury. The report closes with an earnest exhortation to the members to press onward in the work of doing goed. The report of the Treasurer, Wm. Chauncy Langdon, Esq., was next read. From thix it appears thal the receipts during the year amount to 81,741.55; of which sum S306-2L was disbursed for the liquidation of debts incurred during the Ser year, and $979 .60o0n account of expenses uring the year ending yesterday; making to- gether the sum of $1,287.51. and leaving a bal- ance in the treasury of $453 74 On concluding the reading of his own and the treasurer’s reports, Mr. Rhees introduced the President elect, T. J. Magruder, Fisq.. who de- livered « brief and highly appropriate address, in the course of which he avowed his own deter- mination to do all in his power to promote the objects of the Association, and urged his fellow- members to unite heartily in the performance of the duties assigned them. He then introduced the Rev. T. L. Cuyler, of New York, who delivered an eloquent and im- | saree discourse. He remarked, in commenc- ng that he was right glad to have the bf mae nity of being in Washington to-night; indeed, one of the reasons of his coming here was to be Prexent at this anniversary—not that he came ex- Cc for the purpose of making a speech, but e was anxious to tell his hearers in a few words why he loves Young Men's Christian Associa- tions. He loves them because he bas labored forthem. He asked, is there any one here who has labored es cially for any object? if xo, do they not love that object devotedly? Ask any mother which of her children she loves most, and will she not answer, the child which is often- est sick? It is for that he toilsand labors most, and therefore she loves it to a yreaterdegree. So it is with him in relation to Young Men's Chris- tian Associations. If any of you desire to love this association, labor for it. If you want to kill it, do not attempt to talk or write it down, but jast neglect it One great reason why the speaker particularly loves these Associations ix because of their cath- olic spirit. He cannot tell. in the assemblage before him. to what sects bis hearers severally belong. In their labors here they are not confined by the contracted limits prescribed by sects, but have before them a more comprehensive field In bis own denominational chure man cannot always let ont hix whole soul in Christian labor, but when be comes before such an Association as thin, the rest tis removed and he feels free to express fully emotions He did not mean to oppose denominational divisions, however, for he believes them requisite for the general welfare of the Church; yet the facilities which these As- sociations afford for bringing in contact young men from different sects are caleulated tu be highly beneficial, inasimuch ax they remove whatever harslness may grew out of sectarian- ism. The speaker next proceeded to point out the various methods in whieh these associations were capable of conferring great benefits on the community. They are especially caleulated to be of advantage to yonng men who from home To these they open the way religious and moral associations, and thus assist them in overcoming the temptations which beset them on tbeir entrance into a strange The reading rooms and libraries atfuid th opportunities for passing their leisure how the development of their inteilects, and the labors of the Association lead them to cultivate an 1n- creased attachment for the principles of chris- tianity. The speaker made some allusicn to the asso- ciations in New York city and London, and of the great benefits which their orgnaizations were bestowing upon the young mi f th He ex cased b onviction t Christian Axsociations rem terand more active christians in the respective churches to which they may belong, ax they tend to increave their love for religion and their desire to labor for its advancement. After dwelling at some length upon this topic. he concluded with an earnest appeal to the community to support this association. and urged the members to in- creased efforts for its future prosperity. On Mr. Cuyler taking his seat, the President announced that R. C. McCormick, Esq., of New York, from whom an address was also expected, had been detained at home by urgent business matters. Rev. Mr. Bittinger thea pronounced a benedic- tion, and the congregation was dismissed. Tue Praric must keep tts weather eye open for imposters. Yesterday a colored woman was detected, on the outskirts of the city, playing the old game of soliciting aid to bury ber child. She told a piteous tale.well calculated to deceive, of her son's death, from injuries received by rowdies on Pennsylvania avenue, and of the corpse lying unburied in her house, in conse- quence of her inability, through shod fe to buy even a rough pine co: She collec: quite a sum, but, suspicion was excited, an examination of her premises was made, and the mother wax found enjoying a jolly supper, surrounded by her family, all of whom were unburied, to be sure, but “nary one” was dead, or gave signs of ap- proaching dissolution : ‘Tne Cincett Court yesterday finished going over the trial docket. and then the appeal docket was begun. This docket contains some forty- xeven cases, and will probably ocenpy several days. There are eteven appeals granted the pres- ent term, viz: Those of Hood es.

Elisha Whittlesey, occupied the ehair, as the oldest Vice President, im the absence of toe ad Tesident, who a now ype and cal the meeting to . npeooal s wee opened with prayer by the Rev. “ Cum. mins. Portions of the annual rt were then read by the Corresponding Sec: ry, Rev. Dr. Gur- ley. Among other facts stated to the meeting b the report was one that the Me pad to the Sacie- ty, during the past year, had been $97,387 95, and their outstandirg debts had all been paid. It concluded with the remark that missions were rapidly on the increase and the labors of the missionaries bringing forth fruits in abundance. ‘The report was acce; and referred to the Directors. The Chair then introduced to the 8o- ciety the Rev. Dr. Slaughter, of Virginia, who. « — following resolution as a basis to his arks: Resolved, That, in our judgment, America in Africa is a solution to the problem of Africa in America. y He spoke of the manifest destiny of the African race; that while the people of a nations were permitted to come to this conntry, and be on an equality with the people to whom they came, the unfortunate black men of Africa were forced here, to be used after a proper course of disc; line, as a means of civilizing and christianizing their countrymen of benighted Africa. He sp ke of the achievement of the American Colo- nization Society to this end, and of the fact that its influence had exterminated the slave trade from more thin five hundred miles of African seacoast. He spoke most ably and eloquently for balf an hour. The Chair then introduced the Rev. Tio J. Bowen tothe meeting. ‘The speaker had spent pode te 's in Africa, in explorations of its sur- face and its convenient openings for colonization. Africa was a home for the oppressed, and an as tam for those who had been taught to appreci the benetits of civilization by a discipline in this country. It was evident, from the course of events, that God designed, by placing Africa in America, to transplant and form American senti- ments and institutions in Africa. In regard to the civilization of the African Tace, a great work bad already beendone. The slave trade was the most disastrous influence against which the Society had to contend. The speaker had seen as many as eighteen pop- ulons African towns on the slave coast depopu- lated entirely, ina short space of time by this traitic. But the influence of the missionaries was beginning to be felt far back in the interior of the country; the minds of the whole nation was beginning to be changed, and those benight- ed were beginning to feel the benefits of civiliza- tion. There was great hope of success in giving them the blessing of the Christian Gospel. In the English settlement of Freetown, there was slready twenty-three Christian churches estab- lished and in flourishing condition. If the mind of Africa was improved and strengthened by education and religion, its com- merce and its influence would be great indced in course of time. He was anxious to have a colony planted in in Yurobo, for if that portion of the country were ever to became civilized, the advantages to trade between that and Liberia would be immense. The gold fields of Central Africa were five hun- dred miles in extent, and the wealth of these mines, which was immense, would, were that portion of Africa to become civilized, be scat- tered, and lend its aid in the es‘ablishment of the future empire of that great country. On concluding, he was followed by Rev. Dr Seys, the Society's agent in Africa for several years past. His brief remarks were depictive of the progress and success of the Society in Liberia and other portions of the country. He had planted the colony at Careysville, some miles back in the interior from Liberia. He had explored the hill country, and brought home specimens of the iron ore and cotton of the country through which he had explored. He gave most encouraging and hoprful accounts of ibe saceees of the new colony of Careysville;a church had been erected there, in less than three months from the time the col ony was first planted; all of which was carrying out the great scheme of transfering Africa back to her own home, to the glory ot society and of the great Creator. The colony did not si ez on the contrary, they were fed simptuously three times a day, on venison (for the forests abounded in beautiful deer of various varieties) and sheep- meat and beef, and on every kind of fruit and vegetable indigenons to a tropical clime. Resolutions of thanks bho Speers to Rev. Dr. Seys for his eminent services in Fidos cma- nently the settlement at Careysville, and for his useful labors in the cause of African coloniza- tion. A resolution of thanks was passed to David Hunt, Esq., of Mississippi, for generous dona- tion of $45,000 to the Society last year. The Society then adjourned to incet at Hall at 12 o'clock m. to-day. the City Tux Pusiic Schoots.—The snbjoined memo- rial is now circulating in the city for signatures : To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled : The undersigned. citizens of Wash- ington, beg leave most respectfully to call the at- tention of your honorable bodies to the present condition and future prospects of the public schools in our city. That the cause of public education ‘demands the serious consideration of Congress the follow- ing facts wi l show: First—The Present System. The existing system of je schools was es- tablished in 1945, and has done all that could be expected from it. here are now four school districts, embracin: -two schools, employing forty teachers, a! giving instruction to two thousand four hundred children. Five school honses are owned by the city, maining schools occupying basements of hes and such other places as the trustees with their limited means can procure. Second—The Statistics of the Census of 19357. A ceusus of the children between the ages of five and eighteen, hax been receatly taken by the authority of the city, and the following fects are obtained therefrom : 1. The number of children between the ages of five and eighteen, is ten thousand six hundred and ninety-xeven. 2. Three thousand three hundred and twenty- eight of this number are in Private Schools. 3. Two thousand four hundred are in Public Schoots. 4. Pive thousand and sixty-nine are in no school at all. 5. The Public Schools cannot accommodate twenty-five per cent of the number of children of the city. The simple statement of the above facts, care- fully ascertained, sends its warning voice through all ranks of society, foretelling with unerring certainty the black catalogue of crime which ig- norance will surely bring on this city as the thou- sands of uneducated youth develop into man- hood Third—Means. From our peculiar position and relation to the National Government we are curtailed in our means. i. We bave no commercial or manufacturing relations. More than three-fourths of the citizens are directly or indirectly dependent on Goyern- ment, and with the change of every administra- tion there is a change of a large class of citizens, thereby destroying any permanent interest in our Public Schools Buta far greater difficulty lies in the fact that not one-third of the property in the city ix tax- able. 2. Again, a large class of citizens are not resi- dents, and are consequently exempt from taxa- tion. 3. To secure proper accommodations for Public Schools by a tax on citizensand on all taxable property of every description, would make many times larger than that levied for » Epos in any other city or town in the United les. 4. The security of persons and property, public and private, absolutely requires that something be done speedily. In view of the above facts, and of our utter in- ability to provide better means to promote public education, we most earnestly but respectfully appeal to your honorable bodies to aid us, by elther money or lands, in securing such liberal rovisions for the Public School system of this istrict as is commensurate with that high grade of infetligence, respect for law and love of order, which should characterize the inhabitants of the metropolis of this great nation. An Uneasy Loverr —Last night, John Mur- ray,a well known patron of the guard house, went to his lodging place with the expectation of being treated to the same accommodatiens as under the old rule. Murray, withia a few months, has twice been iu jail for petty larceny: once for stealing a basin and patcher, and once for steal- ing the boots from the feet of a drunken man. Dear the new regulations, lodgers at the guard house are locked up for the night in the celis. Murray was considerably scared by his iicarceration, ing he was to be “tuk up” on some new charge. He tried to effect an escape through a hole the size of his head, and in so doing fell several times,bruising himself severe- iy. This morning be was agreeably surprised berty to travel, and he availed himself of the privilege with considerable promptitude.
