To-day, the Court read the sealed verdict of the jury in the case of the United States agt. Cora Stewart, tried yesterday on a charge of keeping a bawdy house, in which they found the defendant guilty in the first count, keeping a bawdy house, and not guilty of keeping a disorderly house. Mr. Rateliife, tor defendant, here brought the testimony of Odlicers Fanning and Eckloff to show that the defendant wave up ion of the house atleged to be occupied by her, before the charge for which she is now convicted was institated. In bringing this proof, it was understood that it was to be considered as testimony in mitigation of the offence. The ease of Henry Renniger, in which the de- fendant was charged with assauit and battery on a snail child, was submitted to the Court. The defendant was sentenced to three months’ impris- « it in the county jail, and a tine of $1 ty MeNerhany was placed on trial on a ‘ of assanit and battery on Deborah Wise. The jury found a verdict of guilty as indicted and the Court sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of & ‘The Court then tock up the case of Kmma Young, in whieh the defendant was charged with keeping a bawdy house. The defendant appeared in court with a beautiful infant child in her arms, whieh attracted universal attention. {We may add that the presence of a number of the city’s fairest and most noted cyprians in the Marsbal’s office causes quite a stampede In that direction by the younger members of the bar, who, doubless, are ectlated by the best motives, believ- ing that— “Vice is a monster of such dreadful mien As to be hated needs but to be seen.” We en't the couplet following the above, as baving no bearing on the case in point The first witness called was officer A. Boss, who testitied that he knows defendant. and also to be the nristress of a gentleman in this city; bas seen one or two gentlemen bearing excellent characters generally “oe te the house; has not seen loose women visit the house since defendant lived there. Oftery Eckloff testified that he knows defend. ant, and he hes never seen eny di about the place since she lived there; a female friend of hers, who isa loose woman, yoes there, seemingly 284 visitor; thinks she lives there as company for Miss Young; never saw but one man go there, and don’t know what bis business there is; the reputation of defendant is that of a loose woman. Mr. Brescoe testified that he doa’t know defend- @at, met ber on the street once; has been told what kind of woman she is, but don’t know anythin, avout ber; don’t travel around among that kind o! people; has seen persons reputed to be of loose character go in that direction, but don’t know which house they went to. ‘The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The Court took up the ease of John McKewen, charged with assault and battery on Lewis Krafft. The jury found the defendant guilty as indicted. Poeric Scuoot Exasonatior.—Yesterday, Pri- mary School No. 4, 2d department, Second Dis- trict, was examined by Mr. AtLee. As large a com pany WRS presentas the room could accommo- date. “The roll contained about 50 pupils, almost ali of whouw Were present.

Ge tee nk 80 with the which the bears. ng The night before last, a crowd of disorderly had a stone battle in this district, not far from the corner of Ninth and D streets. This die graceful scene occurred some time after the day police had left their beats; but that was no reason why the night watch could not have intefered to prevent the affray, as the juvenile combstants made noise and used language which was pain- fally a it several squares off, and could not bat have been heard by those officers whose fa- vorite haunt is scarce a stone’s throw from the very spot where all the tumult occurred. Vacraxts—OLp axv Youno.—The attention of the police has been directed to the gangs of in- famous characters who infest the Smithsonian grounds nigbt and day, annoying visitors in the day-time, ad insulting Indies who through the grounds to and from the Island. Of these, some are old grey-beaded paupers, and others youths, some are children of respectable parents, who are hardly aware that their offs; ng have placed themselves under the tuition of these vile reprobates. Lewd women associate with them, and are made their tools for the annoyance of per- sons on the streets and in the zrownds. So far nine have been caged since yesterday morning, and the officers deserve the thanks of citizens who, with their wives and daughters, are subjected to the insults of those eye If the vagrancy law is as strictly executed in future, there will be less cause for complaint. Fine.—Last night, about $% o'clock, a stable situated In the alley between Twenty-first and ‘Twenty-second streets, and K and L streets, in the Pirst Ward. was destroyed by fire. It was the property of Alfred Jones, dealer in feed, hay. &c., and contained besides his five or ab tons of baled hay, several valuable machines, bar- ness, &c. The fire spread so rapidly that the stable and contents. except the horses, were destroyed. The loss by the occurrence, the owner estimates at a little over $2,000, upon which there was no in- surance. There is no doubt that it was the work of incendiaries, inasmuch as several suspicious —— had been seen lurking about the premises fore the occurrence. The fire department turned out with alacrity. and strove to prevent an increase of damage to property; and the firemen deserve cet for their orderly deportinent and. generous exertions. A Covonep Monomaxtac.—Some of our Jus- tices of the Peace are considerably annoyed about this time by the frequent visits of a very old col- ored man, named Polydore Jobnson, who is very desirous to sell his son Edward, a youth of 45 years, well known as a boot-maker in this city. It is evident the old man is not right in his upper story, aud though harmless, he is pretty much of a nuisance. Not only does the old man annoy the Justices, but he also makes an occasional visit to the City Hall, to obtain proofs of Ris title to the boy Edward ; and has also tried to gain an audi- ence of the President, in order to make all things right. He claims that Ned is chased by hii; that Ned has not Uehaved as he should; and that, being old and poor himself, he wants to sell Ned, in order to place him under Proper restraint, and at the same time supply him- self with funds. THE Wasutxcton Monvment.—The National Washington Monument Society have appointed John S. Gallaher, Esq., of this city, monument collector for the District of Columbia, and he will, at an early day, wait the citizens of the Dis- trict for such contributions.as they may be inclined to make towards the erection of the majestic struc- ture now being reared in our midst. Subscrip- tions will be received in the gross or monthly in- stalments as may suit the convenience of each contributor. It is pro; that the District, which is locally in the erection of the monument, set 4 good example to the Sta’ the Confederacy. = . ae of Tur Ovp Fetiows’ Pic-Nic on Monpay.—The members of Oriental Lodge, No. 19, 1.0.0.

' » Grorsrrows, July §, 1559, A somewhat careful examination of ‘the poor and workhouse premises, on Monday satisfied us of the justice of the complaints which for many years have been heard among our citizens, on ac+ count of the enormous annual ex ineurred in the support of this establishment. And, indeed, the fact that the garden farm attac. to this establishment, comprising seventeen ecres of Iand handsomely located for such a Purpose, and sus- ceptible of improvement to almost any extent, and an abundance of good manure always at the disposal of the Corporation, should yield only a few hundred dollars Foon towards its support was a mystery to us until we visited the ises. Instead of finding it a garden farm, we found it an apt illustration of the field of the sluggard. peng Ad gem it oe weannes er seers | w! r products, etables, &c., a fruitful season, Veggies ae we found the grounds in a most o gr per in: foap condition, so salle = provement is concerned; some porti as to be almost inc: agave of producing anythin, and other portions overrun’ with ae “ee with only here and there a patch of stinted look- ing vegetables.

The apricot, cherry, and other fruit trees are dying out, and yield ‘nothing, for the waut of proper attention; and the shrubbery that once adorned the yards of the main buildings has nearly entirely disappeared. And what is equally strange, notwithstanding there is sufficient gar- bage and vegetable matter about the premises to feed from a dozen to twenty hogs, there is not one to be found on the place. Ina word, there cannot be found to-day on the premises, fit for immediate use, one dollar's worth of anything necessary for the snstenance of the inmates that was not pur- chased out of the Corporation trezsury. Where the public will fix the blame of this ne- glect, we know not. For our own part, we think it justly attaches to those who have from year to year been intrusted with its general supervision— we mean the trustees, who are required by law. and paid for the service, to visit the establishment at least once a moiith, for the purpose of seeing that it is properly managed. that this duty has not been performed, no one can deny who will take the tronble to visit it. The only thing about the premises that bears any marks of care, indus- try and attention, is a small patch of corn, and one tomatoes. The examination of the senior department of the Male Public School, W. H. Craig, principal, took ye 4 afternoon. in the presence of rather an unusually large number of spectators, amon whom was Mayor Addison, Rev. Drs. Edwar. aud Bocock, Messrs. Hyde, Tenney, Lazenby and Bangs of the Councils, Messrs. Beall and Magee of Guardians, and Capt. Brown. former presi- dent of the School Guardians. This school num- bers some 50 pupils, 41 of whom were in attend- ance, all neatly clad, and conducted themselves in a very becoming manner during the examina- tion exercises. eading, writing, phy, history, dictation, arithmetic, philserpne, exer- cises on the Constitution, and grammar aré taught in this department. in each of these branches the pupils were very thoroughly examined, and acquitted themselves in a manner that gave satis- faction to all in attendance, and it was conceded by those present to have been the best examination this branch of the public schools ever passed. the conclusion, the school was handsomely ad- dressed by the Mayor and Capt. Brown. The exhibition of Trinity (Catholic) Free School came off yesterday afternoon, and was numerously altended by the parents and friends of the some 200 pupils. Thisschool is supported bed the voluntary contribntions of the friewds of public education, and is doing a vast amount of substantial among the rising portion (male) of the commu- nity, not only in the locality where it is situated, but among boys in the country centignons to the town, being free to all who chose to avail them- selves of its inestimable benefits. Both the exam- ination and exhibition yesterday retiected credit upon the teachers. The programme of the exhi- bition was gone through with in a manner which elicited the praise and admiration of the entire auditory, tna f of the declaimers exhibiting a very superior ree of mind and talent for boys of theirage. The school was very appropriately addressed by the Rev. Dr. Early, President of th Georgetown Coltexe, and the multitude of hand- some book premiums awarded to the pupils by the Rev. Mr. Aschwander, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Aiken; after which, the audience dispersed for their homes, highly pleased with the enter- tainment thus furnishished them by the boys. Our city is unusually quiet, and the general health never was better at this season of the year. Business upon the Canal, since the repair of the break, has m unpl ently brisk, 130 boats have arrived; 120 of them from Cumberland, bringing 14,000 tons of coal; 1 with Railroad iron, the remai: from various points with Tan bark, &c. The revenue collected as yet, at the Georgetown Collector’s office, amounts to only $1,250, as follows: Ascending trade $130, and de- scending $1,120. An aggregate of 2.176 tons of Coal has been shipped from Ray’s dock during the week end- ing this morning. Onr City Councils had under consideration an immense amount of business last night, which will appear next week. We have rarely, if ever, seen the supply of fine veyetable, fruits, &c., in our market so large as it was this morning; and prices as a general thing, were at a very reasonable standard We have been requested by owners of benches in the Market-house, and the Clerk of the Market, to call the attention of the police and the <muilty ties. to the practice of lounging about the jarket-house goog ee day, and mutilating the benches by cutting them with knives.
