The ‘Yoreign residents of the other treaty ports already “open looked with distrust upon the move, fearing its ,effect upon their business; but to bé on the safe \gide many of them made arrangements fo establish ‘branches either at Hiogo or Osaka, to be ready to take advantage of whatever might arise. } January 1came gt last, and many of those who ‘were waiting for the dawning of this important day @rrived and made their locations as they best could, Aooking forward to the sale of the land that had been allotted to farelgn use, upon which elegant ‘buildings were to be erected, and visions of rapidly Alling coffers filled their brains, The first settlers would of course reap the benefit by being early on the spot, and many a wise prediction was made of the entire success of their enter- @rise. And it is to be hoped that they ‘may yot enjoy the fulfilment of their aspirations. But @ few days had passed when @ gloom avas thrown over the settlement by the unfortunate Yous of Admiral Bell, Lieutenant Commander Reed, Bnd ten seamen belonging to the Hartford, United Btates flag ship. This cloud, however, passed away, ‘and all were trying to do business, when news ar- rived of fighting at Jeddo, between the Tycoon’s troops and Prince’Satsuma, This was followed in a few Gays by hostilities between the same parties at the seat of all foreign legations for the time. ended in the complete discomfiture of; the Ty- coon, which caused him to abandon the position and ‘fy to his headquarters, Jeddo. In order to accomplish this desirable result, being hard pressed he was com- Ppelied to disguise himself and, under cover of night, went on board an American man-of-war, which secreted him until the following day, when he went on board his frigate—a very fine vessel built by the Dutch for him—and pushed forward for his harbor of safety. The day following his abandonment of Osaka the government officials at this port called on all the ‘consuls, and advised their directing their subjects to 4ake refuge on board their national vessels as they could ofer them no further assistance or rotection> as they Intended to abandon the place to he insurgents and leave at once to join the Tycoon. Acting upon this suggestion, the Consulg met, but 4 not instruct their people to leave; they simpl: informed them of the informatien they possessed, and wisely left them to act as they thought best; at the same time arrangements were made with the ‘men-ol-war of all nations to be prepared, in case of ‘an atiack from the rebels, for giving them a warm re- ception. Signals of alarm were prepared at all the consulates, booed aay were on the qut vive for apprehended troubles. Thevext day the Ministers were compelled to fly from Osaka, as the place had been fired by meee, and arrived here the same day and took up their uarters im the abandoned government house and Gustom House. ‘Two days after, at two P.

PUBLIC EDUCATION. New School Building for the Twenty-first Ward. The system of public education in this city, al- though in many ways superior to that of any other city in the Union, is yet susceptible of improvement, and the Board of Education is making vigorous efforts to bring the system to such @ standard that it may be looked up to by. all the friends of education and taken a8 @& model in all its byanches. The ‘course of studies in the schools is at present undergoing a most proper revision, and the Board has shown @ great deal of good sense in inviting the expression of opinion by the teachers of the various grades in the schools, who, from extensive practical experience in the honorable yet onerous duty of imparting instruc- “tion, Bre eminently qualified to determine what is most essential, both in plang and materials, for the foundation and erection of a solid, serv! healthful and yet ornamental educational structure in the mind of youth, With a similar intent the Board has pursued a sim- ilar course in regard to the school buildings, and the good results of Buch a procedure have already made manifest. The buildings are now erected wil a more strict regard to the proprieties of the butld- ing profession and with greater consideration for the comfort and convenience of both teachers and pupils. The edifices are tobe made ornamental and substantial; and are brought into existence maintained with as much regard for economy as t! most captious and capricious opponent of the school system.could reasonably desire; Lf, indeed, such a person could reasonably” desire anything which ne- cessity or usefulness demanded. In certain portions of the oy the growth of the Ro ulation has been so rapid that school accommo} ations could not be sec |, especially for the younger children; and the local school officers as well as the Board of Education have been obliged to witness the overcrowding of school rooms and build- og without being able to afford any immediate re- lief, Among other districts the Twenty-first ward has been icularly atlicted in this regard, but the school oMicers finally succeded in ahoud, a piece of property on the north side of Thirty-second Street, near Third.avenue, and on that they purpose erecting a new schoolhouse, to be known a8 Nae f school No. 16. The lot is 100 feet front by feet deep, and the building to be erected thereon will be a superior one in every particular. It will consist of a main bullding of fifty feet front. by ninety-four feet. deep, with two front wings, each fifteen fect front by forty feet deen, and two rear wings of fifteen feet by thirty-one feet. The front of the building will be of Philadelphia pressed brick, trimmed with Dorchester (or Nova Scotia) stone, cut and lished, and around the doors and windows of the Incipal story vermiculated (or wormed). The w' ws and doors will be circular-headed -and in the centre, or tower, over the main entrance the windows will be arranged in triplets. The rear of the bullding will be niched at the junction of the main butlding and wings 80 as to give pleat for additional windows for lighting and ventilating the new class rooms. The building is to be so constructed that tf the pr surrounding it should be entirely covered by buil ings there would still be a space between them and the schoolnouse. The upper portion will form a Man- sard roof and with a handsome tower tn the centre on the front. The cellar will be nine feet in height, and will be devoted to the storage of fuel and the apparatus for heating the building. On the first story, which will be nine feet and nine inches in will be. the janitor’s rooths, the play ground and closets for the uplis. The second and third stories will be each fourteen feet and three inches in height, and will each contain six class rooms, two galleries for the infants and rooms for the teachers, second story ‘will be for the female department and the third for the male department, and will be reached by four sets of stairs, in addition to the mato stairs In the tower, each arranged in short flights, so that there will be little or no fatigue in oe up or down, and if a child should happen to fall it cannot fall buta short distance. All the improvements which have lately been introduced, and which the Su) School Buildings, Mr. James L. M and placed in practical pee] this buiiding, and overt ing will pleasure and profit to the teachers and the children of tender years to whose sole accommodation the building {8 to be devoted. In thi sonool Suildings, the materials tised fn the construc- tion are required to be of the best quality, aud such work as Will admit of it must be guarri ub by the contractor for a length of time suMicient to determine its fitness. : The contracts forthe work were opened on the 17th day of March last, and were awarded as follows:— For mason work, to Samuei Lawrence for 0005, for carpenter work, to James Neate for $22,000; for painting, to T. & P.
