Our atten- tioa was particularly drawn to Misses Biakeman, Miller and Moulton, who were ever ready to answer the most dificult questions, and e the hardest problems. A xevitation in Wrenoh, by Master John Towle, was exe lent, which, at the request of dome one present, was im. mediaiely translated into English, with the greatest fla- ency and accuracy. Miss Blakeman, a girl of twely years, by her reading, its beautiful empbasis and c: Hence, niavifesting a degree of eloeution rarely seen in one of her age, brought down the applause of all pre- | sent, Miss Miller’s demonstrations ia astronomy and algebra, on to black board, could not be surpassed. — Mirs Ellen Gurvoy, a little girl of six years charmed the company with # beautifal little tong; peg beaunfc!, chaste and appropriates gesture, would place her on a level with jority of our mo dera prima donoas. The exerc! having been gon through with, Master J. Mead delivered the valedictory address, whioh was so satonlalitng ® production for boy of 14 years that we give it in fall. “To me hes deen assigned the part of closing this, the first public ex- hibition cf Ward School, No. 1, I am here to thank you, kind frlends,for the encouragement given us this day, 'y your pretence : to tell you how grateful we are for the approbation you have manifested on this, to us, mo- mentous occesion—an occasion full of interest, full of greatness, full of consequence. 1 thank you in bebalf of my companions in the race cf learning, for your count nance and smiles. Such tokens ar idences of the deep care you have ftr our well-doing ; 0! happiness it affords you to witness our onward prog! in the no- ble work of mental improvement—of the satis- faction with which you are filled, that the hours spent here from day to day, have not been mis- spent. Tokens like these can never come too often — ‘They strengthen our resolutions; they translate the irksomensed of etudy into the recreation of enjoyment; they incite us to press onward; prets ever in like mann Fer you, our respeoted instructors, our thanks are but 8 poor requital for your affectionate care, your words of counsel, and the information you have imparted to us. ‘Wo remember how bright, pure, glorious, are truth and honor, #8 you hold them up for our*contemplation and idunce. We estimate character above all price. You Bre removed from our path obstacles that seemed im- movable ; you have pointed out to us the road to moral and intellectual greatness, and you have cheered us by your uniform kinduess; for all of which, we cannot pro- Claiz our gratitude too strongly, too loudly. And now, my school companions, a word with you. Who shall bay what we may not be? All great Tesnits bave hi smell beginnings. Besides, have we no pride’?—not the pride of wealtn, or of bitth—but pride as members oj this institution of learning? How can we better evince our gratitude to our friends, who bave reared for us this superatracture, than by uniting all our exertions to make this scbool No. | in every thing com- mendable—one in our punctuality, deportment and studies; one in the truly great signification of the word; ‘one, not only in number, but in every thing of which we may be proud ” John McKeon, Esq., County Superintendant, on be- half of the teachers, then presented the scholars each with @ bovk esa New Year’s present. ‘Among tho visiters were Prof. Davis, Lyman Cob», Feq., and Alexander Ming, sen’r, Esq’, all of whom spoke in terms of approbation of the manner in which the school was conducted, reflecting great credit on the principals, and of lasting and incalculable benefit to the pupils. Tne Awntxa Posts.—The awning posts bave been re- moved in Ann street, and in several other streets in the city, during the last few days; yet the lamp-posts] that remain on the tidewalks, are felt to be almost as great a nuisance asthe awning posts. We fully approve the mexsures adopted for the removal of the awning posts in the leading streets and thoroughfares; but to make the matter complete, and carry out the full provisions of the new law, we think the lamp-posts should be also removed. Gas-light could be easily eupplied in each street without st all intruding upon the side-walks If the lamps were attached to the walls of certain houses in each street, it ‘would answer all the purposes required. Cou.ision —A collision took place about six o’olock yeaterdsy morning. between the steamboats Niagara and Cleopatra. ‘The Niagara was going out, bound for Nor- wieh, and the Cleopatra wascoming in from Stonington, and when opposite the Dry Dock, the two came together, , tearlug away the- wheelhouse, breaking the main crank, and carrying away the stancheons of the Cleopatra, en- tirely disabling her. She was taken to the Hook for repairs. Congxction.—In our report of yesterday morning, re- lative to the ship fever at the Quarantine Hospita', the name of Dr. Potter was mentioned among those who had died. [t should have read Dr. Charles A. Porter, instead of Potter. Fosraan or Jove Tarion.—The funeral of the Inte Robert Taylor, Esq, will take place at 3 o'clock this afternoon, to which all in any wire connected with the police department, are respectfully invited to attend. "They will meet at the 17th ward station house, corner of Bowery and Third street, at 2 o'clock, from which ylace they will move in procession to his late resiJence. Srxovs Accipent rrom Srinit Gas.—Mra. Balbey, of No 267 Mott street, together with an infant ebild, which rie had in ber arms, were very severely burned on Wednerdey night, by the explosion of a Cae gas jJamp, which she foolishly attempted to trim while burn- ing. ¢ premises also took fire, but tery trifling dem- age was sustained. : Board of Supervisors. Dec. 90 —Tbe Mayor presiding. ‘The minutes of the preceding meoting were read and approved. Petitions fram sundry persons, for the correction of taxes referred. Bills of various persons connected with the Poliee De- partment, referred. ‘ The Surrogete, County Clerk, Register, c.—The re- port of the Special Committee in relation to the i vier of the Surrogate, &c., which was laid onthe table st the leat meeting, wi ken up, ‘Ald. Frawxxin moved to strike out $3000, the salary fixed for the Surrogate—11 members having voted in the negative, and 8 in the affirmative, the motion to strike out war lost. ‘Ald. Mayxanp moved that the report be adopted. Ald, Frayxuin then moved that it should be takén up rectizn by section. Ald, Mavvaxn offered, as a further amendment, that the report belaid onthe table. He said,as there seemed to be a disposition on the part of some members of the Board to increase the expenses.and that the Legislature, who bad investigated this subject very fully, and had, perhaps, as good an opportunity of judging of it as the Board of Supervisors, fixed the salaries of those officers, wud ae they had the opinion of the Couarel to the Board, that incase of deficiency in the fees out of which the salaries were payable. that the Supervisors were bound to make good the deficiency, he was, under the circumstances, willing to leave the salaries asthe Legislature bad fixed them, '< Ald Srovronn suggested to the Alderman ofthe 18th to withdraw his amendment, and renew his original motion to accept the report. Ald, Fxan«niy said he did not agree with the Alder- man of the 18th; he thought this Board was as well qua- lifted to iavestigate this subject as the Legislature, and that that body knew if; because those officers were re- siding amoncet and under our eyes, we must be the best judges of the value of thelr services, and hence they left it tous to fix the amouat of their salaries; he was also desirous to take up the report section by section, and iseurs it In that way. Ald. Mesexore anid there was such s cross fire kept up, be did not know,where to begin er to end; the only question, however, with him, was, did the heads of de- partments get on’ adequate remuneration for their ser- vices? It wax no matter out of what fund their salaries ‘were paid; ifthe fees of office were not adequate for that purpose, then it wos the duty of the supervisors to pro- vide ancther fond to make up the deficiency; he had no doubt, howe:er, but the fees would be amply sufficient, for it would, doubtless, be found, on the winding up of the year 1445, that as many persons would die in that yoor ia New York, as diedin 1847; and if so, bis friend e Surrogate would be perfectly safe, He thought, om the importance of that office, the incambent of it wos well outitled to a salary of $3,500 wyear. ‘The mo- tion to lay en the table was then pnt and lost, ‘The question to take up the report, section by section, was adopted, und the report read accordingly; and after come discussion the salaries, as fixed for the Surrogate, Register, end Clerk of the Superior Court, and their ae- ante, were allowed to romain as the committee fixed except the salary of the collector in the Register’s 1 from $500 to $700, 10 Conner, Eq, County Clerk, ond hia ssaistante, were allowed to remain as fixed by the committee—all clerks having n salary over $1000, to be paid quarterly; all having under that sum, to bo paid monthly.

At the second board prices fell off, and the market closed at the rates current yestertay. Tre sales at both boards were only to a moderate extent. The Hibernia takes out about $300,000 im specie. ‘Wall street has been in a perfect fever of excitement all day, in consequence of the rush of bill holders to find their redeemers. Many failed in so doing, and the greatest excitement existed. The brokers redeemed until their funds were exhausted ; :wnd then they re- fused everything offered—good, bad and indifferent The rates for redeeming all New Yirk State money rapidly advanced, until five per cent was the lowest rate. The panio became so great that the artount offered ex- ceeded the ability of the brokers to redeem, and hun- dreds of bill holders were turned away, without making an exchange of their bills. We sho.ild judge, from what we saw and heard, that between one and two mil- lions of dollars had been redeemed up t0 2 0’clock, In the midst of the panic, it was annourtced that the James,Bank, the Franklin Bank of Chautuwaique County, aud the Merchants’ Bank of Chautauque County, had suspended, and the bills of these bauks were taken in some cases at fifty per cent discount, but only a small amount could be sold at any price. We ennex a statement showing the condition of the suspended banks on the Ist of November :— Scsrenpen Banks, Starr New You. oans. Specie, Circl’n. Deposits. Atlas Bank Wo 178,205, Franklie Bk,C: 59,000 James Ban _ 69.166 Mer Bk, 500 291.000 Total 700 498,37! No ono will be astonished, after examining this ex- hibit, that these banks should suspend; they will, with- to stand so long. Seven hundred dollars in specie, will not go far towards redeeming five hundred thousand dollars o' bank bills. ‘These suspensions are just what the proprietors of these shinplaster banks want. They can now buy up their bilis for thirty, forty and fifty cents on the dollar; and when they get in a part or the whole of the issue: go to the Comptroller, take up their securities,and make a handsome sum by the operation. The Atlas Bank, for instance, has a circulation of $178,205; these bills oan be bought up at fifty per cent, requiring only $89,103 to purchase the whole issue, which, upon presentatinn to the Comptroller, he delivers up the securities, financiers make $69,103~—a very neat sum to swindle out of the laboring classes. There are a number of other banks in this State in similar condition to thoss named above, and it would be well for the public to be on their guard. Many banks have been forcing out their bills in every way, during the present pressure in the money market, and they havo got their circulation up to a high point. Many of them are just upon an explosion point. The owners of these banks have everything to gain by stispending, and nothing to lose; and the character of these,fog finan- olers is such as induces us to believe that they will not Ist such an opportunity pass. They will take advantage of the present panic to let their banks explode.

Taylor, was disregarded; and im this morning’s In telligencer, we find the following announcement :— “We publish the annexed notice at the request of a eitizen :— Taylor Meeting —A painay mectinnet ethene of Gen Taylor, will be held at the National Hotel, (Cole- man’s,) this evening,at 8 o’clock.’? “ And thereby hangs a tale.’” It is supposed that this notice was written by and pub- lished, at the instance of Gen, Duff Green. See how coldly it was received by the Intelligencer. “We pub- lish the annexed notice at the request of a citizen »— that is to say, we do it to accommodate a citisen—we don’t endoree it; bat we publish it by request. All this was fair enough ; but the demonstration, and the of the meeting thus called, are most clearly illustrative ot something mors than the mere henitation of the In telligencer, to emdorse the call. a The notice attracted general curiosity, and as carly ae seven o'clock the sovereigns, or their deputies, began to gather in the hall and bar-room, at Coleman's, ass pre- liminary movement, It was not yet eight o'clock, when they ascended to the room set apart for the meeting, to wit, No. 79, on the floor over the bar; but, like the five foolish virgins, who went back after oil, they found thé door ehut. On demand, however, the door was opened, and some six men were found to be inside, General Du: Green, Chancellor Bibb, (Mr. Tyler’s Seoretary of the Treasury,) in his short breeches and delicate propellers, and Mr. Fuller, the editor of the Mirror ot New York, and Gov, Gayle, of Alabama, being, as we understood among the conspirators thas found in the room. ‘The crowd came in with a rush, and a beeutifal apec- tacle succeeded, right off the reel. It was moved that Chancellor Bisp take the chair; but it was supposed that thie was a movement of half dozen conspirators, who had no right to lead off whigs of Washington. The motion was overruled—there being three or four voloes in the affirmative, and per- haps a dozen in the negative. Gov Gayle proposed that they try it over again. And _ the motion wax again put—three or four syes, and 6 most prodigiously overbearing and conclusive piling in of the * No!’ “No!? *No!?? So the unfortunate six were suppressed, and the regu- lars thereupon nominated and elected. Janus F, Hatcipay, Eeq., a8 chairman, and Josnoa L. Hensnaw, Enq , a8 secretary. A good deal of conversation and iaughter and fun sue- ceeded. Chancellor Bibb, in the meantime, having vanished, and Mr. Fuller remaining modestly quiet, for wo were told that he was among the crow Mr. Rictann Waxtack, & good looking city whig, and one of the regulars, then proposed the following resolu: tions :— favorably disposed w ‘AZLOR. for the Presid mecting as premniture, | i art of rick, jo they shall select b- ect. ‘hir.Cras, E Simenstan next took the floor.and proposed stood they ; be cont to di: tate 10 for that hi Resolv pt, on the the people of the country w office. That no further action be now taken on the j an amendment to the resolutions. He und bad met for the purpose merely of organizi: commit- tee, aud that this was only a preliminary meeting, and yet they were met at the very commencement by a sort of mock resolution, got up by gentlemen who were doubt- less very good representatives of the opinion of their own localities. But it ssemed to bs the impresrion that it was impudent in the peopleof the District of Colum- bia, toattempt to saya word in the affairs of the country. Meetings, however, had been held in the District of Co- lumbia, when the affairs of the country, since the timeof Jefferson,and the dictates of Clay and Polk, had eman- ated from here. Did not the wire pullers direct every party from the District o! lumbia? Are we to be gagged, by being told that we have no voice in the af- fairs of the country, when we know, that, although we have not the right of voting, we still are as re- sponsible for ‘the acts of the government, as any city in the United States. “gad, that’s putting it down pretty (pond for Sherman, *) if th and hearts of the people are drawn any other man, let it go forth. It may be, that the time had not yet coms, waen we ought to act, but it was monstrcus to assert, that the people of the District of Colambia had no right to assemble and proclaim choice, This was, as he hed before remarked, merely a reliminary meeting —called for the purpose of appoint. fy ibject, and iC uh lor’ port to a future meeting. ‘Ibe resolution says, the movement is premature. ‘This ought to be thought « matter for consultation and conversation. Let » committee be ap- pointed, and let it report to an adjourned meeting whe! er any, ‘or what steps sould be taken by the citizens of the District of Columbia, He bad come forward this evening merely from impulse. Hehad been forced to do 80, by the course he saw about to be edopted, to gag the citizens of this district, and to render abortive the whole movement He was in favor of General Caylor (Gen, T.) had shown himee!f possersed of higher, greate: power.than that he displayed evenin Mexico. He Delieved bim to be pre-eminently qualitied for tne Presidential chair, and though yielding to this opinion, he had nad to tear older ana desrer idols from his breast to do so. He would conclude by proposing an amendment, to ap- point a committee to decide what steps should be taken, Ke. (Cries of “agreed ! go it !”’) The Cuarwman said he held ci which he wonld read. If they w! they could submit it. Mr. Svexman trusted some gentleman would draw up an amendment embodying the substance of what he had proposed, and make it more explicit. Two or three gentlemen immediately commenced writing away, as if for a wager, amide: loud orieg of “ Put the amendment!” “ That's right,” &e, “ Ha! ba! ha!” Hon. Mr Cayce, of Alabama, here oame forward snd said, he did not suppose that if he attended this meet- ing, he would be intruding, and he did not suppose any gentiewan would arrogate to himself the authority to any, that this meeting was solely a meeting of the inba- hitants of the District of Columbia, and that other citi- zene of the United States had no right to interfere. It had been said that the District of Columbia was unre- presented; but this was not the case; it was represent- ed by the whole United States, to whom it belonged, and every citizen of the Republic basa right to spoak tn it. Tho present meeting was not a meeting exclusively of the people of this district; but it was meeting of ol- tizens of the United States, who would be happy end og to meet and consult with the citizens of the dis- trict of Columbia, who might think proper te at- J, and he took the liberty to state it as bis cpinion, that the people of the district of Co- inimbia bad no right to dictate to the people of the United States, There could be no exclusive meetings here. They were meetings of citizens of a country where the government is pure and free. If the people of the District of Columbia did choore to meet and con- suit us, we will hail them us brothers, but they must not attempt to turn dictators. He thought, that the resolution. which assumed that this was # meet- ing exclusively of the citizensof Columbia, stated what could not be the fact. (Cheers, hisses and confusion.) Mr. Wattack would ask if he understood the adver- tisement in the papers correctly. He understood it was 4 meeting of citizens of the district that was called for.

(Cheers ) Mr. Suramay having succeeded in getting his ideas on paper, by the kind assistance of some friend, read his amendment to the meeting. There was so much noise and confusion, we could not distinctly catch what he said, but it was something about appoiating a committee, ko. ‘The Crainstaw’s lips began to move, when Hon, Menoirn P. Gexrny, of Tenn pushed thro the crowd. He said he was a stranger there, and would not have addrersed the meeting if it were not for the purpose of preventing a collision between the citizens of the District of Columbia, and thone gentle- men who claimed the right to speak before that meeting as cilizens of the United States. For his part, he was a citizen of Tenneasee, and friend of General Taylor. (Loud cheers.) | au (continued Mr. Gentry,) bis friend without rete; 20 may be his opponents. (Good! Good!)

Ido not sve anything in the position of General Taylor at the present time, which renders it necessary tor his friends to meet here and press his claims now. They are well known.and of the land. In Aix w time, but in ® very few w wil not be © Who is General Taylor's friend?” but “ Whars the man who will not support him?” (Leugh- ter, and cheers ) it has been said, that if you only per- sunde the people that a victory ia sure, it is half gained beforehand [don’t wish to act upon this notion; but resolution, no ma foe or a friend. | if there {# any gentleman hero who is holding back tones which will be the strong side, (laughter,) I advise Lim, at once, to raine u © Taylor "ng.
