Ricbards, Principal of the female de- partment, tov place on the 25th of June, and proved to be one of the most pleasant and satis- factory educational gatherings of the season More than 300 pupils, besides a large number of Patrons and friends, assembled in the large and beautifally decorated ball of the Academy, at 4 Pm. and listened with deep interest fo the well-acranged, fiaely conceived aud ably deliv- ered speeches am alogues, by the young gen- Uemen and ladies ” —— The Principal, Mr. Richards, gave a hearty and felicitous wel he to the former pupils, and was happily answered by one of the graduates of the Academy, M Ashford, Esq., now practising at- torney at the bar in this city. Master John Selden, at present a pupil, deliv- ered an original and well composed be ace upon tue Progress of our Country, evincing a well- {rained mind and powers of oratory not ofien seen io our most successful speakers. ‘The otber exercises of the present pupils con- sisted of a speech in Spanish, one in talian, two English Dialogues by the male pupils, and a French Dialogue by male and female Los: pera un- usually well pronounced. Also, an English Dia- logue “* The Priestess receiving her offerings,” by the young ladies. The pups also entertained the audience with some well selected songs, accompanied on the piano by Master Teasdale, one of the pupils. Several highly interesting addresses were made by former pupils, viz: W. F. Mattingly, Esq, now >+uccesfully pevparing for the bar, who al- — distinguished himself in his academical and collegiate course; T E Brown, now am-m- ber of the Columbian College; and E. J. Cull, a Kraduate this year in the same college—and we — say a graduate of unusual distinction. The Principal then gave obituary notices of those pupils who had died during the seven years. Among the first and most remarkable was that of the well-known Stewart Holland, who fired the last signal gun and was one of the Jast to perish on board the ill-fated Arctic. Out of nearly five hundred and fifty pupils eleven died. The Principal stated that so far as he could learn the survivors, almost without ex- ception, are pesen = course of life with prom- ising success, honorable alike to themselves and to the Unjom Academy. Excelient addresses were also delivered by Rev. Dr. P. D. Gurley, who gave as a sentiment “* The teachers of our country—miay they be true to their calling, and may appreciating pupils and an appreciating public be true to them ;” and by Rev G. W. Samson. After which the Principal made a brief reply to Dr. Gurley’s sentiment, and invited the whole audience t» assemble jn the lower ball, where Mr Ridenour, the confectioner, bad loaded his tables with the delicacies of the season. With the exception of a little rudeness at the tables by seme impudent boys everytuing passed off in the most delight manner, making the occasion one jong to be remembered with pleasure by teachers and puptls ha Carminxat Court —In this Cor ; yesterday, after our report closed, Daniel O° Connell was tiled for larseny of divers articles of wearing ap- Perel from Bernard Mayee, to the value of $1. — jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing one ehirt.

Ei aedireniaunsenvemiekeaen Ce = ‘Twiny Distaict Schoot— Male Départment— Taught by Wm. W. McCathren, Prinetpal, and Lizzie Patsons, assistant. —The annual examina- tion Of this school took placé yesterday afternoon at the schoolhouse. corner of Third and D streets, Capitol Hill. There was some confusion as to the place of holding the examination; and,there- fore, the attenda of visiters was «mali; nei- ther was there a sufficient number of the trustees Present to ac the occasion that deyree of inter- est to which its importance entitled it. The ex- amination was conducted by Dr. Willett, and Messrs. Brandt, rice, and Walsh trustees, the Secretary of the Roard, Mr. Ricketts, and seve- ral teachers of the other public schools partici- pated in the exercises, and measurabt compen- sated for the want of due diligence and attention on the part of the reeusant members of the Board. This school has sixty-five scholars enrolled, of whom fifty-nine rot prents and several of the absentees are sick. The scholars are divided into four classes—the first, or most advanced, be- ing under the tuition of Mr. McCathran, and the others are instructed by the Principal in arithme- tic, and in their other studies by Miss Lizzie Parsons, the assistant. Miss P° also teaches nging, and in this accomplishment the pieces mg by the scholars during the examination, P ‘oved that she is not only a competent but high- y, successful instruetress in the science of song. The examination wax commenced with the fourth, or least advanced class,who read, spelled, wrote on the slate from dictation, and answered a multiplicity of questions in mental arithmetic, history and geography. besides working out sev. eral urithictical propositions on their slates, Considerable ditiiculty was experienced in the examination of this clasx on account of the method pursued by those who questioned (hem. Many of the interrogatories being couched in unfamiliar terms, and many others in relation to such por- tions of the studies as are not to be found in the text-books used. The scholars were thus con- fased and wearied, and the audience was not en- lightened ax to what progress they had made. This system may suit admirably to display the attainments of the examiners, but it is sure! yan injustice to both scholars and teachers, and shguid not, therefore, be pursued xXaminations, as we understand them, are no for the purpose o: ascertaining what the examin- ers know more than children, but ax near as may be to arrive at the acquisitions of the latter. We think a proper oy for these high schools, espe- cially, would for the Board of Trustees to elect a competent examiner to conduct the exer- cises. The maiter would not only pass off more fairly in that case, but the examination would be conducted with greater facility, and instead of continuing until eight o’clock, could be ac- baer mayb within a reasonable period of time. Sa: ter the sed had concluded, the third Class was examined in spelling, reading, writin; from dictation, mental and. written arithmetic geography, grammar and history. The second class was al*o examined in the same studies, but in more advanced i aaghtorae of the text-book. The first class was the last examined. [heir studies are the same as those of the third and fourth classes, but they are still further advanoed, Being the last class examined, they did not receive such a thorough investigation as the lower classes, bnt it was sufficient to test their ability quite fairly. All the classes answered pens and fairly pearly every question put to t em, to which an an- swer from them could have reasonably been ex- pected, and they evinced a true appreciation of the various rules applicable to their several stu- dies. The higher classes were especially apt in el grammar and arithmetic, and we think their teachers have just cause to feel grati- fied with the manner in which they acquitted themseives. Theentire school, considering their ages and opportunities, read very well, except that unfortunate fault of not speaking loud enough. This, possibly, was consequent upon the presence of strangers in the saeok-Teera: Specimens of maps drawn by Mastera John Eniwistle, Wim. B. Jeffers and Robert HM. Mit- chell were cea ny well done, as were also two crayon sketches by the former. We were surprised that no police officers were in the vicinity of the school-house, though their presence was made necessary on account of some tude boys who congregated about the doors and windows ‘The examination of the Female High School in the same district, Miss Myrick’s, which was to bave taken place to-day, lw postponed, on ac- count of that lady’s sickness, until next Wednes- day, the 1th inst.

This custom, which has been handed down for several centuries, has beeu regularly observed at Georgetown College since its commencement asa College in the year yesterday, the grounds about the College commenced receiving the invited guests and others who desired to be present at the exerci «l by 6 o'clock, when the exer- eises opened, the College Hall was well filled, a large number of ladies being among the attentive listeners to the exerciser in the mental arena The commodious and cool hall was t stefully decorated. Around the wall, shields with na- tional emblems were painted) ‘The banners of the Philidemic and Philonomosian Societies were displayed, and imu edintely 1 the centre of the platform xppeared a couple of American tlags supporting a fancy centre piece. The assemblage baving been called to order by the President of the College, the exercises took place in the following order, such of the audi ence as desired presenting objections to the views maintained In the ‘Theses read by the stu- dent, and the principles of the Theses being maintained and the objections answered either be the author of the Theses or another member of the graduating class. - The programme of the exercises was as fol- OWS > “The foreknowledge of God not incompatible with the liberty of Man,’’ a dissertation; and defence of Theses, by Beverly C.

Cavent Narring —It is an old saying that “Old birds can’t be caught with chaff;’’ but it does not hold good in all cases, an the following circumstance of recent occurrence plainly shows: Two old and (ee ogeereitg officers, thoroughly a- quainted with the ‘civil business,” levied u certain property at the Maryland Hotel, Fitt Ward, for a debt of about $600; they were put in charge of the property, staying all the time during several days to watch the goods; the pro- prietor and his family were also there, and the officers found them very kind and polite, and the proprietor appeared pe eur willing, almost anxious, for his goods to be taken to pay thedebt The officers placed great confidence in him, and had no fears whatever for the safety of the eters in thetrenstody The proprietor and his family expressed a desire to «pend the 5th in the country, and Informed the officers that if they would leave, so that he might lock up, they could return and take ession the next day. The officers agreed to the proposition; but the moment they left the door it was shut against them, and they left the 2 Sparc to sit at the window with his thumb bis nose, making the sign which asks the sig- nificant question, ** Do you see anything green?” The officers acknowledged the sale; but still Jurked about, like good soldiers, reconnoiterinz. They saw no hope of success through the pro- ee. At length one of them noticed that the r-keeper had opened his window. He went to him and asked for a glass of ice water. the bar-keeper went to get it, but turni around there stood the sturdy old fellow, insid again, having jumped in the window. “Ah!” said the pothely eal “gentlemen that is not fair The officer ed heartily at the idea of having saved himself and sureties the expense of the debt. The discomtitted proprietor was beat at bis own game. and sat dowa to console himself with the retlection— **T Rave the date, more luscious, for my fig.”” Riorovs Conpver.—Yesterday afternoon, Lt, McHenry arrested a young man, named M. Flany uagan, for profanity and disorderly conduct in the street, The prisoner said many things in tLe may istrate’s office not at all complimentary to the justice or the police. tiee Donn ordered him to pay a fineand costs, ouuting toSil. Flan- nagan begaa to supplicate, but it wouldn’t do. The justice toid him that this rowdyism must be suppressed, and Le would do bis part to break it up. At last, a young man, named Willtam ‘I.

In our Officer Zimmerman re- for very disorderly conduct om Sixth street, near the canal. A great crowd gathered, and there were some indications of an & tempt at his rescue. Lieut.

At the office ‘Neir seized the officer by the throat, and be, and pretty roughly man- aged for amoment, when he thought it good pol ley to keep quiet. ‘ In the course of the examination a gentleman stepped in and offered himself witsess, and pomied out James McWilliams as one of those engaged iu attempting to excite a riot. Justice Donn had but few words for explana tion after the testimony closed. but demanded bail for Court in $500 each, and it not being at haud the parties were immediately committed to the county jail.
