CITY INTELLIGENCE.

ftH street Sunday School Exhibition. In aC-
cordance with the arrangements, a very large
and attentive audience assembled, on Monday
evening, the oath inst, in the Methodist Pro-
testant Church, corner of Pitt and Asq1ith sts.,
to witness an exhibition of the Sabbath Schools
attached to said church. The exercises were
principally of Temperance character; and
such was the general excellence of the per-
formances, that we fear we would be doing in
justice to many, equally deserving, by mention
ing any one in particular. We cannot, how
ever, forbear referring to a recitation by very
little girl, apparently not more than three years
DID, daughter, we understand, of Mr.. Alex
ander Clifford, Of Old Town. The pent-up
feelings of the audience, after the delivery of
this piece, could no longer be controlled, but
manifested themselves in the most noisy de-
monstrations of applause. A Duet, by Master
John A. Cunningham and Miss Elizabeth Jer-
Wis, beginning with the words, "Watchman,
tell us of the night" was sung SO admirably,
that at the request of number of gentlemen
1t was repeated. The Rotations, speeches and
dialogues, by the scholars, were delivered with
a dstinctness OF enunciation and general pro-
priety of action, that gave ample evidence of
the possession of forensic powers of no ordinary
character. The various choruses were listened
to with decided appreciation by all present.
The committee under whose management this
exhibition was gotten up, are certainly deserv-
ing Of much credit, and we were pleased to OBJ
serve from the numbers IN attendance, that
their generous efforts were properly appreciated
by the public.
Pushed Overheard Yesterday afternoon u
bout three O'Clock, while party Of negroes
were standing at the lower end ofSpears' wharf
apparently in earnest conversation, one of the
most athletic of the party was seen to lay hold
of another and unceremonously throw him in
the dock. As this very naturally created great
excitement at the time, the perpetrator was suf-
fered to escape. We hope, however, that pro-
per steps may be taken to bring the rascal to
condign punishment. The man thrown in the
dock was named Harriss, generally known up
on the wharf as "Stevedore Tom He was
taken from the water by some sailors who i'm
mediately went to his assistance, and after con-
siderable difficulty he was restored to life, and
conveyed home to his family.
Glad 10 see il. We yesterday observed work.
men busly engaged in removing the loose
stones and DIRT upon the 'Old Christ Church
lot" preparatory to laying the foundation of
six large stores about to be built for Johns Hop
kins, Esq. We understand that the contractor

probability speak more at large of this long
looked for improvement in few day.
