Second Day at the Naval Academy—Bad Weather for Practical ExerciscsArrange- ments for the Examination of the DiGerent Classes—Retirement of Admiral Porter. ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 22, 1809, The incessant rain which has been falling during the entire day confined the examination of the mid- siipmen to such subjects ag required attention in- doors, A base bail match between the classes, which was set down for tnis afternoon, and a hop to-night have both been delayed until next week. To-day the board of visitors attended the various recitations going on in the different buildings, and gave their attention specially to the profictency dis- played by the midshipmen. The result of to-day'’s experience spoke highly of the remarkable scholastic advancement of all the students of the Academy, and promises an unusually favorable report upon the character of the members of all the classes and the efliciency of the instituiion. The first five members of each of the first three classes, on account of their proficiency at the ex- amination of last year, are designated as “star mid- slipmen,” and are entitled to wear that embiem as an insignia of distinction. The following are the “star midshipmen” of the first class:—Charies P, Perkins, Massachusetts; Henry M. M. Richards, Pennsylvania; Lewis E. Bixler, Pennsylvania; Clin- ton K. Curtis, West Virginia; William P, Potter, New York. The course of instruction of the institution is divided into a number of departments, each presided over by a chief, who has a suMicient corps of assist- ants. These constitnte what ia termed the Academic Be The examination now going on Is distri- buted in the same manner, under the sapervision of the respective heads of departments.
