The serenade to General Hancock tast even- bg attracted im fromt of the Metropolitan Hotel @ large crowd of citizens, and betore 3 lock the avenue and sidewalks in front of che building were filled witn people, it being estimated that at least 3,000 persons: were present. The balcony st the hotel was hand. nely decorated with Chinese lanterns, and works were displayed from the top of tne Iding. By nalf-past § o'clock four bands of 2uSic, from different sections of the city, had ‘rrived in front of the buildiag, and loud calls were made to: Gen’l Hancock, and upon his appearance he was greeted with cheer after cheer. Gen. Cobb, of Wisconsin, introduced Gen'l Hancock to the assembly, saying he was glad to bear testimony te the Kindness of heart of General H.; his gallantry as a soldier, and his irueness as 8 man. General Hanc °k then spoke as follows: Citizens of Washington: 1 thank yon for this testimony ef your appreciation of my past ser- vices, and confidence in my ability to’ perform my duty in anew and diiferent sphere. Kd- uchted as a soldier in the miltary school of our country, and on the fields of the Mexican war and American rebellion, I need not assure you that my course as adistrict commander will be characterized by the same strict, soldier!: obedience to the iaw there taught'me. As soldier, I know no other guide or higher duty. Disrepresentation and misconstruction arising trom the passions of the ho has governed my actions in every ‘hour, may meet me. But i fearthemnot. My highest pride will be to perform the duties of my new sphere, not in the interest of parties or partisans, but forthe benefit ct my country, the honor of my profession, and, I trust aiso, tor the welfare of the people committed to my. care. I ask, then, citizens, that I may not be judged in advance, and that time may be per- mitted to develop my actions. Judgeme when Lact by the deeds I may perform, and, con- scious of my devotion to my duty and my country, I shall be satisfied with your verdict; and, if 8 generous country shall approve my actions in the future, as it has in the past, my highest ambition will have been achieved. As & soldier, Iam to administer the laws rather than discuss them. If I can administer them im spirit, with due charity to the gov- erped snd to the satisfaction of my country, I shall indeed be happy in the consciousness of a duty performed. 1 am about to leave your city, the capital of eur country, bearing the proudest name of -Washing‘on.”” As an American citizen, the | rapid development and increase of its wealth, beauty, and prespert'y is a matter in which I (oo am deeply interested. But far, far beyond this, citizens of Washington, 1 rejoice with you, that in the trying hour of the rebellion, ‘he capital of our nation contributed as freely, Proportion, as any State of the Union, to ne brave volupieer army which has demon. strated to the world the strength and invinci- oility of arepublican form of government. Ichall carry with me the recollections of this occasion; and when I return, may I not hope that none who are here present in person or im spirit will regret their participation in the honors you bave done me to-night. Hon. Robert J. Walker was next introduced and spoke of the life and services of General Hancock. Hesaid) When the rebellion threat- d to destroy the country and to leave hington. not the capital of a great nation, & miserable remnant, a solitary ruin to mark the existence of a desolated country and a dismembered Union, General Hancock came forward to the defence of the nation and the Constitution, and his glorious career is not narked by one single iailure. [Great oheers.} 1 recollect that oceasion well, for 1 was then residing in Washington—a city that has been much abused—and yet the records of the great ‘war sbow tbat the city of Washington, anen- couraged by large bounties, or any of the other ‘means used to induce men into the army. did, in the true spirit of patriotism and’ devotion, send into the ranks a much larger number of volunteer soldiers than any other city in the Union in proportion to its mumbers. Mr. Walker spoke for some ti frequently interrupted by applause. Hon. Wm. E. Robinson, ot New York, being called for said: FellowsCitizens, (for 1 call you such, al- though separated by some mites of our young country.) 1 did not come here to make a speech, and will notdo tt. I have been called upon, much to my mortification. The Generals who pave spoken to you, and our distingnished citizen who has just left you, have said all that there ts to say upon this occasion; and there- fore 1 decline to make any speech, and trust you will approve my refusal. Speeches were made by Captain McSweeny, of ‘West Pomt,and Mr. Ryan, of California: atter which the procession was formed, and, headed by the bands, preceeded to the Execu- tive Mansion for the purpose of serenading the President. After repeated cheers, the President appeared on the portico, and sald: Fetlow- Citizens: In appearing before you this evening it is not for the purpose of making an address. but simply to tender you my sincere thanks for this kind manifestation of respect and regard, and especially so on the present occasion, and under the existing circum- stances. I repeat, that itis not my purpose tomake an addres? on this occasion, but to tender you my thanks, for this demonstration here to-night, and fer this iarge and fine as- semblage. If tbe time and circumstances jas- ified, 1 would with pleasnre address you on the questions which divide and distract the public mind. ‘You know, my friends, however, that the country is in great peril; therefore, I am proud to see that you are aroused and alive to it. [Cries of “Good!” “Tnat’s the talk! and we cansaye it!"| You bavesavedit in times gone nd I feel assured that you can and will and was try is in peril: the Constitution of our country as im great peril—that Constitution which was formed and framed byfour fathers, by the pa- triots of the Revolution, and which they ce- mented with their blood—and it becomes your ‘duty to redeem and to save it from the peril in which itis involved. 1 have anoiber single utterance, and that ut- terance is, let every one here to-night bave a conscience and & Conviction in reference to the Sonstitution of the country, and all will be safe. [Cries of “Hear, hear.”] conscien- tious conviction be our courage; let the public good be our aim, and the Constitution of the country be our guide, and all will be well. [Cheers.] And now ‘again accept my thanks for this kind demonstration you have made, and take with you, in saying to you good-by, my best wishes tor your welfare. The President retired amid great cheering, ana the crowd dis] di. —.——. ‘Common Ceuncit.—An adjourned meeting of the Board of Common Council was held last evening; Ereeident Dulin in the chair and all the members present except Messrs.

Grand total of expenses for the last six montis for support of above echools by all parties, as reported, $527,005.77. The whole sum expended, if ali the societ‘es bad reported fally, would be much larger. Whole number of high or nor. mal schools, 21; ,number of pupils in all, 1,591. From the above tabular statement it will be seen that there are officially reported 1,039 any and night schools; 2,087 teachers, and 111.442 pupile, showing crease since our last re- pore of 632 schools, 657 teachers, and 33,444 pn- pils. By adding industrial scbools, and those “within the knowledge of the superintend- ent,” the number will be 2,507 schools, 2,442 teachers, and 130,735 pnpils; making a total in- crease of 908 schools, 74 teachers, and 40,222 pupils. Sabbath Schools also show much larger numbers during the past six months, the figures being 1,126 schools, and £0,647 pupils, and if we add those ‘not regularly reported,” the whole number of Sabbath schools will be 1,568, With 105,707 pupils; thus giving an in- crease since last report of 636 schools and 35,176 npils. Pifotai schools of all kinds as Teported; 3,595; Pupils, 248,342. Total increase for the last six mouths, Schools, 1,518; Pupils, 76,635. How Sustained.—Of the above school, 1,026 are sustained wholly or in part by the freed- men, and 391 of the buildingg in which these schools are held are owned by themselves; 999 of the teachers in the day and night schools are colored, and 1,8 white—a small proportionate increase of the former during the six months. Tuition by Freedmen,—23,06s colored puptis have paid tuition: the average amount per | month being $14.55, or @ fraction over Si gents | per scholar. Only 6,911 pupils were free be- fore the war. Bureau Expenditure.—This bureau has sup- plied 425 of the school buildings, and furnished | 975 teachers with transportation. The total expenditure for all educational purposes by the Bureau, as will be seen by the following table of payment in the several depar:ments, | hes been $820,535.01. | Six months’ expeaditures by the bureau for scheols, asylums, construction and rental of school buildings, and transportation of teach- ers, from January J to June 3, 1-67 ot Columbia.

The miscellaneous and home study. pre- viously mentionea, continues, and. so firas we can learn, increases in a similar ratio A book for each tamily—Some whole States are now, through your commissioners, earn- estly solicit ing from us aspelling book for every family.” A partial supply only has been furnished. We reiterate the appeal. If this whole demand could be met, we pledze the perusal of these books under, at least some rude form of teaching; and the consequence would be that, with the 23,312 pupils already in schools, one million, at least of this people, from all classes, would then be engaged in the first elements of learning. Progress in study.—As showing the progress of the schools, it will be observed that 42,5 Pupils are now in writing, 23,957 in geography, 40,454 im arithmetic, and 4,661 in higher branches; showing a much larger per cent. o the whole number in these studies than in our lest report. while the increase in the higher branches is nearly four-fold. Normal Schools.—There are 21 normal schools, with 1,981 pupils. These institutions have been nearly doubled in numt2r during the six months, and are to be largely incressed oyenirg onthe next term. Very general at- tention is now called to this class of schools by the grea‘ demand for colored teachers. ‘There sre now 35 induatrial schools, giving irstruction in the various kinds of female labor. ‘Fhe average daily attendance in all the above schools has been 75 per cent. of the en- Tolment. We make the following extracts from that part of the report in reference to ihe Depart- ment of Washington: A change has arain been made in this de- partment. Alexandria (city and county) and Fairiax comnty bave been attached to the d partment of Virginia, and West Virginia bes | been added to the department gt Washington. | “The superintendent, Rey. John Kimbat!. reporis for the moatn of February the whol: number of schools as larger than at any pre- vioustime.” The new school-house in George- town is finished and filled with scholars. It accommodates aboutd( ' pupils, and is the best house in the District for colored children, not very well located, but after trying for more than @ year to purchase a good site, we were forced to build on shat lot or not at all. “There are this month 0 day and night schools in the District, in charge of 142 teachers; oi,whom 129 are white, and 13 colored. The number of pupils in these schools is 4,522, and the average atteadance is 3,535, or 73% per cent. “In Alexandria (city and county) and Fair- fax county, Virginia, ihere are 26 scheols with 36 teachers—29 white, and 6 colo-ed, and 1,756 pupils. The average is 1,204, or 6S per cent.” “The local vepeinwacent remarks: ‘When we first opened our schools in Alexandria there was almost universal opposition and ridicule. Now the people are thoroughly con- vinced of theif benefits, and atthe late public examipation, which was crowded with the white citizens of the place, astonishment and even delight was expressed at the fine appear- once ot the pupils, and the great progress they had made.”” “Seven hundred books were drawn from the Free Library in Washington by soldiers during the month, and 300 by teachers and colored pis. “For the superintendent reports ed numbers by the trans- riaand Fairfax counties, Vir- ginia, to the eare of the commissioner of that State. But the average attendence is remark- able, when we consider the exceedingly bad weather during nearly the whole month.” “A programme of llel studies has been adopted by the asscciation of teachers, ana in- troduced into mostof the sehools.. This will make instruction throughout the District more uniform, and enable us to grade the schools much more perfectly.” In regard to the schoo¥ building the super- intendent says: “Thereis greatnevd of better school-houses, both in td ane oo Sone ba pe bed bonse on M #1 1D, ‘service; also the new and better house ine Groorgelownd and the house on I street.” «+ Land fs bought and the contract made for the balding of a ine brick scbool-house at the corner of 9th and E streets, (Island.)

Assistance hag also been given in building three houses in Maryland. “Ten northern societies are reported as hay- ing aided the sehools in this department, the amount expended by them being not less than £35,000. ‘The trustees of colored schools for ‘Washington and Georgetown, Save expended about $10,000. The amount raised by colored people by subscription is veryemall ‘They insist that their taxes, which are the same as paid by tne white 1 Soren shall be used for the support of thelr schools. “In this District, if the trusteesof the colored schools could get the amount now due, and that which, will be due the next scholastic year, they would have about $S(,W), an amoant quite eufficient, used economically, to free the societies and bureau from any further care of schoola here.
