Those in Alexandria desiring to avail themselves of its immense circulation to bring their business, wants or other requirements tothe notice of the public bad better call at his period- teal depot. Tax Peavic Scnoots —The annval etamina- tious go forward with increasing interest. A number of the primary schools were thoroughly examined by the Trustees yesterday, and the ex- amination passed off in a satisfactory manner: Primary No. 5, Second district, was examined by F_S. Walsh. This school is taught by Miss Ward, and is located in the same building with Primaries Nos. 2 and 3, of the same district; there are on the rel! 38 boys and 20 girls—ati of whom were present at exemination. Thestudies comprise spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic as far as loug division i seography. ‘The re- plies of the pupils w: preset and satisfactory, showing the prar comprehensive m-thod of the Indy tu charge, and her first class equaling the best. The children were orderly, and thetr apparel clean and tasty. An important and es- sential point in the management of children has beew accomplisbed by Miss Ward—that of win- ning the affections of ber children and of render- ing the school roem attractive and dear to its es, instead of a place of irksomeness and prehension as often occurs. An inspection of the rolls of the schools in this building, namel Primaries Nos. 2, 3, and 5, exhibit a reguiarity of attendance, to say the least, not general— sho ig that.compulsory means are unnecessary aud that hinduess to the children, aptness for, and persevesance ia their calling, with devotion to the public interests are united in the charac- ters of these ladies. In previons reports of these schools we unintentionally omitted mention of a very interesting and quite ornamental part of the performances - vocal music. The exercises in of these schools were interspersed with by tne echildr the selection of the pieces and styl+ of execution were bighly eredit- able. and considerably relieved the mouotony tedium of the recitations. We regret to be ged to notice the manifest apathy of parents a:diaos of children oa these cecasions.too the absence of visitors. It is poor cucouragement to the children aud teachers, to witness the annual exan jons apparent! unattractive as not to induce, at least, the p ence of the parents of the children. The love o: approbation is innate in our nature, and popular comitencation, when merited, is looked for by idrev as well xs by sages, and is a powerful stimulant to fetare energy and industry. If this want of interest continue, if approval by the Presence of visitors at our annual exhibitions be withheld, what inducement have the children, thetr teachefs, and the friends of educa among us, to encounter the many and ted trials which faterrupt their progress? What e cournzement to strive by patience and the allt- conquering influence of perseverance to over- come present difficulties? if the smiles and per- sonal approval of friends be denied, when the Period of trial has passed. Male primary, First district.—Seniorand junior departments were examined. The «chool rom is in the basement of Union Chapel, ts large, light, and well ventilated. The senior department is taught by Mrs. M. FE. Redier, aud the junior by Miss Artemasia Hall, a gradaate of the pabiic schools of this city. The senior departmeut was examined by Dr Chapin, of Boad of Trustees, assisted by Messis. Richards, 8. J Thomp- son. Fort. and oth temchers in the @pnblic schools. It was b y xratifying to us, and Inst bave been so to the instructress and pupils, 10 Witness present at the examination a large number of their parentsand friends) The ‘Trus- tees of Georgetown were represented by Mr. Hyde, of that city. The pupils were exainined in orthography, reading, oral arithinetic, geog- iaphy, and practical arithmetic, and excelled generally in all these branches.” In oral arith- metic the pupils displayed great proficievey, as well as im reading and speliing. ‘ihe class written arithmetic went through a rigid examin- ation by Mr hards, each pupil working out a difficult exercise on the blackboard with a facili- ty which evinced a thorough knowledge of the rule: All the pupils wrote from dictation with # correctness, both in tie formation of the lette:s and ia speiling of words, quite astonishing, con- sidering the extreme youth of many of them In this branch the pupils showed careful attention on the part of their tuto Tu geography the classes were very proficient. The general ap- pearance of the school as to the dress of thu pils, their deportment, and their ee looking faces, showed that while the strictest iscipline is maintzined, kindness and affection also exists between them and their accomplished instruc- tress A perfect mutual confidence thas estab- lished always insures success, At the close of the examination the pupils were addressed by Mr. Ro Kicketts, Se retary of the Board of Fros- tees, who paid the schoo! a bign compliment for their proficiency in the various branches which heen taught them. Mrs. Rodier’s school will doubtless compare favorably with any other in the city for order and discipline, as well as for- wardness in the studies, in all of which they are fully upto the standard. After the yor. bad been dismissed there was a general distribution of boquets to the visitors, in which the Reporter of the Star was kindly remembered. The junior department was exami: ed by Major Bacon and Je. Thompson, teacher. The school enrols 61 pupils, of whom 42 were present. It Is composed of very young children, moxily be- tween 6 ond 10 vearsof age. The teacher, too, is quite a yonng lady, and this wae ber first exami- nation, but if exhibited features that older schoo!s might imitate with advantage. ‘There was thor- ougluness, accuracy, order, and freedom frem the nsual overreaching toward the miscalled “higher studies,’ that spoke well for the teacher's good judzment, besides the substantial sucess of the jofaat minds wader t ing. The spelling unusually accurate, and the reading and writing y geod. It was'a kind of examiaztion thet shonid meet the approbation of the trustees, and Major Bacou expressed himself highly gratified. Quite a namber of the pupils entered the schoot last October, ‘sans everything” ia the scholastic Way ; others could speil in three letters, ard #0 on Miss Artemasia Hall is the teacher, and she (48 was also Miss Mills, who likewise bad an ex- erlient examination,) is a gredaate of the public schoole—the former having received a good train. ing for her vocation under Miss Milburn, of the Fearth District S-hool The examination of Primary School No. 1, Ser- ond District, (M Isabeila F.

The re- sult of this examination was very gratifying to the examiner, as it must have been to the teacher, whe has evidently labored hard to instruct the little creatures ander her charge, many of whem are net over six years of ag The examination was in reading, orthography, arithmetic (mental and written) and geography ; tn the latter study the children bave made considerable pre since they penced It, six months a Was quite a ng an ratifying to hear the little creatures spell words which they could with difticalty pronounce, and solve arithinetical problems which might puzzle children of double their A most pleasing feature in the exer- cives was the singing by the children, which we hope willbe more encouraged ia fatare in our public schools. ‘Ph icines closed with an address from the examicer, in which be compli- mented the scholars for their efficiency and pa- tieace, and tne teacher for the success of her undertaking.

Randolph, President of the School Board, in the préhence of the Rev. Mr. Bitner, Me. Augustus Edson, Principal of the male primary school, and a number of ladies —parents and friends of the pupils. ‘The classes in reading and FrclUee paeed & most satisfacto- ry examination—the latter especially far exceed - ed what might have brea experted of pupils so young. Ou arithmetic the pupils showed a very fair acquaintance with their course of studies in that branch. In geography, although the exam- ination was not qnite xo satisfactory as in the preceding studies, it yet evinced that the teacher ad bestowed much attention to her classes, and gave promise of decided. improvetment on the artof the pupils. The neat appearance of the ittle ones, their attentive and respectful deport- ment made a most favorable impression upon the beholder. tn this, as In other schools, vocal mn- sic of a pleasant character interspersed the exer- cises, and gave a zest to the evening. ‘The second department of Primary Schoot No. 3, Fourth Distriet, (istand) is held in the base- ment of Ryland Chapel, Maryland avenne. It was only or ed last January; but such bas been thé diligence and success of Mes. Martin, the teacher, that it can very fairly be placed iu the same rank with most of the schools of that grade. Many of the pupils had never attended any school before, and many of them did not know the alphabet, and most of them were ignorant of the mereat rudiments of modern school education. Notwithstanding these cir- camstances, the scholars stood the test of a thorough examination with success Many of the scholars of very tender years evinced consid- erable ambition and aptitude for study, thus sbowing that their training is in eompetent hands. The exercises of the school consist ax yet only of lessons in reading, spelling, defining. mental arithmetic, and lessons in addition and notation upon the slate and blackboard, together with music under the teacbing of Mr. Glenroy. The children sang with fine spirit and correct- ness. The school-room needs a new tloor, and son whitewash and paint to make it more cheerfnt and wholesome ‘The examination of Primary School No. 4, of the Fourth District, (Istand,) was conducted yes- terday by Col.Wm.8 Rindoiph, President ofthe Board of Trustees of Public Schools. The school is located in a shed, or small one-story structure, on Kighth st, below Virginia avenne, and is taught by Miss Emma Reed, a very intelligent and accomplished young lady, who apparently takes great pride in the management and instruc- tion of those committed to her charge. The ex- tion was very thorongh, and the pupils evinced a degree of proficiency which, in con- nection with their respective ages, spoke well for the care and aitention of their tutoress, and wes entirely satisfactory to the examiners. The dis- eipline maintain im this school is also well worthy of remark, and adds another to the fea- tures for which credit is due the teacber. The examination went off pleasantly, we believe, throughout. It appears to us that a better build- ing showld be preerce’ for the accommodation of the school. The statement farnished by a Tru: - tee, relative to this achool is as follows: Whole number of scholars enrolled, 59; number present, 5i—absent 5. Present to witness theexamination : Messis. Randolph, White and Wilson, Trastees; Messrs. Ricketts, Secretary of the school Board, and P. Pearson, former Trustee; Mrs. Martin, and Misses Ada ton and Elvans, teachers; ether with several friends. The first class satisfactory evidence of attainment in read- spe! xeogiaphy and the first rules of arithinetic. Other classes done proportionab! Well, being mostly in their first year at school, Personal appearance and deportment excellent. ‘This school was first opened on September last. ‘The schoo! :oom {s well fitted up, butis not large enough. Resritr or James Powsrs —The following is acopy of the respite granted James Powers, by the President, yesterday. The reasons for the act are plainly set forth : . Jamvys Bocnanan, President of the United States of America,to all whom these presenta shah came, greeting : Whereas it appears that at the last term of the Criminal Court, held at the city of Washington, for the D ict of Columbia, Sotnes Powers was found guiity of murder, and by the said court a to suffer death on the tirat Friday after t final adjournment of the then next term of the enit Court for the said District, -nd that said cuit Court did adjourn on Satu day last, the twelfth day of June, instant; ami whereas, the time of the execution of said sentence remained mncer ain until the rising of the Circuit Court ; and whereas it is but reasonable and merciful that the convict should have such time as may be necessary to prepare himself for the awful change which awaits him, and his spiritual ad- viser and attendant has earnestly besought me, as have also many other worthy and respectable persons, toextend the period for his execution, so that the preparation, which it is feared may have been prevented by the uncertainty concern- ing the time of lis execution may be fally made: For these reasons I have deemed it proper, agreeably to the power vested in me by the Con- stitution and laws, to respite the exe ution of the said sentence, and to order that the said James Powers be executed, not on this day, the first Friday after the rising of the Circuit Court, but on Saturday, the twenty-sixth day of June, 1954, between the hours of nine o’clock in the morn- jag and one o’clock in the afternoon of the said day. And this [ do at the special i est request as aforesaid of bis spiritual adviser and others, in order that the prisoner, looking forward to the time herein appointed for his exe ention as the ultimate and absolutely fixed period wt which the offended law of his country will snrely demand the jife be has forfeited ie his crime, may spend the few Intervening days in undivided attention to the only subjects in which be can now have any interest! Now, therefore, be it kaown that I, James Bu- chauan, President of the Usited States, do here- by respite the execution of the above recited xen- tence upon Janes Powers until Saturday, the twenty-sixth dav of June, 1859, between the hours of nine o'clock in the morning and one o’clock in the afternoon of the said day. la testimony whereof, | have hereunto signed my name, and caused the seal of the United States to be atlixed to these presents Done at the city of Washington, this eighteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord one 1 <7 thensand eigbt hundred and fifty-eight, ($1) and of the independence of the United States the elybty-second.

Tux Orerna.—The perfermance of Donizetti's Etisire D'Amore last night, at the Theatre, must have convinced the most doubtfal mind present of the superior merits of the company now play- ing there under the direction of Mr. H.C Cooper. It was highly gratifying also to see a voodly sized andience present, at once a fashionable and acritical one. Miss Milner was doubly charm- ing as the coqnettish Adina, in whieh character she certainly excelled all her previous efforts here She was sustained ably and artistically by Mr. Guilmette, as the quack Doctor Du ; Mr. Frazer, as Nemorino, and Rudolphsen ax Beleore, the rood-looking and self-confident ser- geant. ‘The opera itself containing many beanti- ful concerted passages, was calcuiated to Inspize ali the performers to do their best, and the con- sequence was the audience went away fullv Jdeased with the musical feast which they bed attended. In the last act, Miss Milner intro- duced, with superb effect, the beautiful aria “ Qai La Voce,” from I Paritani, which drew from the audience a vociferous encore, and was repeated with yraceful modesty by the fuir favor- ite, Miss Milner, who bas talents of the very first a:der, and will occupy a high position inthe English Opera. To-nizht the same opera will be repeated tn the preseuce, we are convinced, of a crowded an- dience Recoverixnc.—It will be remembered that, two weeks ago, Mr. Thomas Marron, son of Mr Marron, Third Assistent Postmaster General, had his leg ctushed in the machinery on the ocean steamer North Star, of whieh vessel he was anengineer. On bis arrival at New York he was placed under the best surgical care; but, the injuty was so great, that amputation became necessary; and, since that time, his condition has been such as to cause considerable anxiety on the part of bis friends. His father was written for and went on to New York. some three or four daysazo, and bas since remained there. We learn that Intelligence was received from hi yesterday, to the effect that his son js recovering slowly, aud that he will be able to leave him and resume his duties in the Department here as early as Monday or ‘Tuesday next. Hoc Law —It is said that the police officess have received orders to procced at once Lo enforce the law in relation to swine going at large in the public streets. Many of our citizens residing in the subnrban wards raise swine, and they are frequently allowed to go at large. Most of those persons are bardly able to lose their property, and they will de well fo pen their hogs before tie officers commence the seizure.

The removal began on the ¥ h instant, and all that remains in the Gallery is ‘the property of the National Institute—the .case ¢ on- taining the treaties, Washington’s nnisform and cofmmission, the original Declaration of Tade- pendence, and Franklin’s press. The Naf ional Gallery bas ever been attractive to visit ors at the Metropolis since those collections were: feposited there; but the Gallery being required for other Purposes, It was necessary to remove th =m to the Smithsonian, as a more appropriate plac # for col- lections connected with natural history, geology, and other sciences The arrangement of those collections at the Smithsonian Institut fon will greatly increase the number of daily visitors there, and add to its interest. The arti cles re- maining in the National Gallery, and be’ ionging to the National Institute, will probably be dis- posed of by the Institute at its next m eeting. Many stianzers have been disappointed up ou vis- iting the National Gallery, by learning tl wat the collections hzd been removed. Tue Mayor anv Potice.—Mayor Berre t this morning met the officers of the municipal ; olice ina body at the City Hall, and addressed them relative to what he should expect of them ax officers. His remarks were very appropriate, and indicative of his determination to use every @ xer- tion to have the laws faithfully executed. ‘The officers themselves would be required to cor iply strictly with the laws, and in enforcing ‘them they should do so without fear, favor oraffer :tion. Perfect sobriety would be regarded by him as an essential qualification of an officer, and eae h one nega be expected to wear the uniform rer yuired y law. “The Mayor bas already paid a visit to tue Cen- tral Guard-house, and witnessed the. manner of distributing the auxiliary zuard throvazh the city. ‘The Mayor has probably taken a pro per view of the wants of the city. n efficient and faithful police is of the greatest importance at this time, and all good citizeas desire that his bonor may obtain it. ConstGaL Love displays itself variovisly, and sometimes husbands give very striking vidence of love for their wives. Last night the Captain of the Auxiliary Guard was called upon to quiet a neighborhood. disturbed by the screams of a female. Upon his arrival, be entered the house and found a German woman in an upper Toom, and inqniring the cause of her acreams, learned that her husband had been whipping her. She had been to Gergetowh with her children, and coming home in an omnibus, a yentleman, 9 friend of hers, met her and accompenied he'r home. He sat there a little while and departed and her husband, who had b endrinking, turned toand ite her a beating. The secs tion was general that his love for her made it impossibdie that he could endure the sight of a straager be- having with so much gallantry and politeress towards her. The Captain made arrangements for the arrest of the loving spouse if, upon his return, he should offer any further demonstrations of that character. Tue BsNericiary To-Nicut.—Mr. Charles Guilmette, who is to personate to-night a promi- nent character in a favorite opera, is perb aps the most thorough-going musician of Lis time in respect to his knowledge of the human vice, its usages, capacities, &c.
