SECOND DIsTaIoT SCHooL.-The female depart
ment Of this school (Mrs. s. p. Randolph tcacher)
underwent an examination yesterday. There are
fifty -four scholars on the ROLL and there but
few absent. The young misses were carried
through their various studies by members Of the
Board of Trustees and ex Ma yor Lenox, and ques-
toned in a manner that clearly proved they had
given proper to their studies and we'll under
stood and felt the importance Of what they had
learned. Their performances were accompanied
with cheerfulness, promptness, correctness and
beauty of STYLE rejecting credit alike upon them
selves and their teacher.
Specimens Of necdlcwork, both fancy and use-
full; of flowers and fruit work; of landscaping,
painting, Sc, were exhibited of the most superior
character. s...
In writing, composition and pcnmanship, the
first class of this school cannot be excelled. o.
Misses Donoho, Harbaugh, and Abbott, of the
school trustees, and Messrs. Hill, j. w. Davis and
Queen, of the City Councils. and several teachers
and parents were present.
AID TO THE TEAcHsRs.-Thc examination of
the public schools of this city, now in progress,
cannot otherwise than have impressed upon tha
minds Of their most sanguine friends the highest
evidences of their capacity, efficiency, and useful
ness. as institutions Of learning. We take plea
sure, therefore, in announcing that the Board
Of Common Council, yesterday afternoon, with
great unanimity, passed a joint resolution in
creasing the pay of the female assistant teachers
of the four District Schools from $3.50 to s 300,
and providing for female assistant for the Third
District School. This has been done in accord
ance with the recommendation of the Board of
School Trustees. The resolution did not reach the
Board Of Aldermen; but it will no doubt be cheer:
fully sanctioned by that body when the Councils
meet again on Monday evening next.
CRIMINAL CoURT.-This court was engaged
yesterday in continuation Of the of Elizabeth
Usher. alias Mattingly, charged with robbing
Sylvester Pennington of $l35; in which case the
jury returned verdict of not guilty. Radcliffe

Important from NsiD Brunstoick-Ihs Fishery CUES
ion--Another Seizure Of an Anuican Schooner.
BosroN, July 24.-By the steamer Admiral we
have ST. John's IN b. papers to the 23d July The
Nst1 Branspeksr, of the 22i, says that the United
States Government will make an attempt to obtain
a modification of the strict litter Of the fishery
treaty, but falling in that, they will then offer as
an equivalent reciprocity in certain articles of do
mestic growth
The Mem Brins,cieker thinks The American Gov
ernment viii make a great noise about the rigid
enforcement of the fishery treaty, but they feel
conidentit will not Brighten John Bull out Of his
present posi- ion.
The ST. Johns Morning Ne,os says that serious
troubles between the two governments are aniici-
pated, consequent upon the strict Interpretation of
the fishery treaty, by Earl Derby's government
II is not at all Improbable the Nttos thinks that
the determination of the British Ministry enforce
the treaty has been conceived with view to the
success of the negotiation for reciprocal free trade
The Netc Brunstcicker says that Tuesday
last another American fishing schooner was sent
into that port by H. NJ. steamer Netter. having
been seized in the bay for violation Of the fishing
treaty. Her name is the Hyades. and she belongs
to Lubec, Maine. -
