EXAMINATION,

The examination of Misses Smith s. Patricks'
school took place yesterday in the basement of
the Baptist Church, and was largely attended.
The proficiency Of the scholars was very salts
factory even TO those who were not acquainted
with the fact that the larger portion Of the school
has been made up during the progress Of the
session, so that there has not been time to train
many of the scholars equally with others. Yet
the prompt readiness and correctness of answers
was mnch admired, and considered very credit
able TO the teachers and their scholars. Two
studies, astronomy and botany, the scholars were
not examined in, on account of the latenGss Of
the hour at which they were reached in the or
der Of the examination.
The exercises in the evening, gave more gen.
eral satisfaction than anything OF the kind ever
before witnessed in this city.
Everybody was delighted with the perform
ances of the primary class, during the day and
in the evening. The little folks cheat the Jews,
singing, although they have been but short
time in training.
/ The performances Of all the scholars in vocal
music and of those who performed on the piano
were much praised, as were all the exercises OF
/ the evening: consisting of-A song in concert
