CITY INTEILIGENCE


, School Examination. The examination of the
"East Baltimore Female Semnarv,n which
lasted two days, was closed on Wednesday
evening, and we speak the sentiments of all
who had the pleasure of witnessing it, when
we say that seldom, if ever, have we seen one
so well conducted, or in which the pupils mani
tested so much real knowledge of the branches
taught. The examination on the part of the
teachers was conducted with ability, which
shows that they are teachers of high order,
and determined to merit success, which we cor
daily wish them. We should like to notice
the Rotations in order, but space will not per-
nit: sufficient to say, that every one was in the
highest degree satisfactory. This institution,
under the control of DIR. A. B. Atkin, B. A..
Prin., assisted by J.. j. Roop, promises to in
troduce a reform in the system of teaching,
which, if we mistake not, is very much needed
in this city. The great characteristic seems to
be thought, which lies at the foundation of all
improvement. This we have long thought to
be the great desderatum in teaching, and SO far
as we could judge, the object is attained. All
the pupils seem to be animated with desire to
learn; and the we'll selected premiums awarded
for the highest degree of scholarship, were well
calculated to incite them to farther exerions
We hope that their efforts to give thorough
knowledge of the numerous branches of study,
will meet with that encouragement which they
deserve. The Principal deserves great credit
for the pains he has taken to make the Institu-
ton worthy of confidence and support, and also
in procuring the assistance of competent teach
ers.
.4nother Nt,p Omnibus On "Wednesday af-
ternoon, we took Il most delightful ride few
miles in the country, in new omnibus mo. g.
of the "New Line,' with select party Of la
dies and gentlemen. Mr.. Wentz, one of the
gentlemanly propretors, was one of the party,
and by his polteness added much to the en-
ioyment of the occasion. The omnibus is a
most splendid one, and was drawn by four no.
BILE white horses, under the management of an
excellent driver. The seats of this one are
fixed on springs, which Is great desideratum,
on rough pavements or roads, obviating the
disagreeableness of joltng and shaking. An
other great improvement is in the width of the
COACH it being wider than any other in the
city, thus allowing freer egress and ingress to
the front part of the seats when it is full of
passengers. 1t is intended to run on the route
from the Point to Green and Franklin streets.

fugitive from Justice from this city, was ares
