SCHOOL Ex.MIsATIoNs.-Ward School No. 80, In
Harlem, and the School Of the House of Refuge, on
Randas Island, were examined on Friday The
Primary Department numbered $40 scholars, and had
on exhibition some pretty specimens OF embroidery.
The scholarship was found to be good. The ceremo-
MES Of disrnission were particularly impressive This
department is taught by Misses Mary A. Freeman,
Priscilla Brass, Eliza A. Freeman, CathsriIe A. Heb
berd and $. Almira Allen. In the Girls Department
100 pupils were present. Good drawings and very
good embroidery were exhibited. The examination,
though rapid, was excellent roughOut-especially
in composition and algebra, Of the girls solving
problems involving qusdratic equations The teach
ers here are Misses Maria $. Kenyon, Edith N. Hayes
and Seraphue Landon. The singing taught by Miss
Landon was remarkably good, and certainly entities
the school to piano. The Boys Department num-
bered 1874, and passed an examination which was
credable to their teachers Jacob. S. Warner James
Riker and Mss Mary 4. Gardner.
After the examination Of No. 80 was over, tho Su-
perintendent and many of the visitors crossed the
river to the House of Refuge. The Girls School Of
this institution numbered 81 scholars yesterday; it is
taught by Misses Helen Gtary and Lydia Reyes. The
girls here do the entire Homework Of the establish
ment and but four hours per day devoted to study
ard recitation. Many Of them, too, are quite ignorant
when they eLter the institution. The examination,
however was very creditable. Several Of the pupils
showed minute acquaintance with geography, and
some of the compo stions contained what can hardly
be said Of any produced in Ward Schools-strking
and gnal ideas. Perhaps this is owing to the novel
stand point from which they look upon things Alter
dinner, which was provided by Mr. KetchGm the
BOYS School was examined The number Of boys
was 49, The reading showed that the short-bOy pro-
nunciation quite eradicated but the arithmetic
was excellent; few OF the boys deficient in calcu
lation The singing quite good in the average
OF The city schools. piece Of defamation was re-
ceived with applause which reminded Of Tamnany
Hall The teachers Of the Boys School are: Edward
II. Halock, J. II. Jones, S. Orlando Lee, James
Chrystal and Miss Lydia Keyes.

A PLEA FOR NJ. KOSSUTH.
To he Editor Of The London Timss.


Sir: have no right, and in truth, bat little hope, to
expect that may induce you TO advocate the Of
KOssu,h. Politically, know you srexadverse to him.
morally, am confident you ere not. now appeal TO
your candor impartality and generosity. IL il only
this morning hear that the iustrious exile is in strait
eued circumstances. Trusted by oil the highest,
bravest, most vrtuous of his countrynen, appointed
by them to the st station, and hsding their wealth
at his disposal, he lived among them and departed
from them poor. The jewels Of the Hungarian crown
lay at his feet; he spurned them he spurned the
uswper and pe1urer who lad worn them. Military
treason Hecesstated bis fight; the valof of BEN aud
GuyOn insufficient, against the enemy. The repre-
sentative Of MOhammed saved the follower OF Christ
from the vengeance Of the Apostolic; the Calph cast
bis mantle over the wounded, and defed the upifted
sword. hossuth at last took refuge in England Here
be was welcomed in every city by the magistrates and
the people ana by those Of he nobility who We're
not GeImanized by the Court. Among Us there are
remaining whose affections not torpehed nor
chilled by contact with adversely. Let Us see how
many there Of then l will not C ose my eyes un-
I'll make this appeal 10 you declaring most solemnly
that have had no conversation or correspondence
on tie subject with the exile of Hungary; |
have not asked, directly or indirectly, his per,
mission 70 make the appeal, and fear
may want his countenance; but what am now dong
feel TO be duty. Let me hope however, and trust
that the most eloquent of Statesmen since Dernohenes
will not refuse that public tribute which another of
much celebrity accepted. Mr.. Fox had squandered a
large fortune in the most perncious of vices-in gam
bling kossuth had ne riches and no vices; he left
lucrative and honorable profession TO rescue bis out
ragged county. Mr.. Fox committed act of treason,
very similar, by sending all agent to the Empress
Katharine, assuring her that she might safely take
pose of Nooka Sound against the just claims Of
England. Tie speeches Of Mr.. Fox never elevated
the soul never enlarged the intellect, touched
tie heart. He upheld the cause Of France against
England throughout the war, while her best citi-
zens were bleeding on the scstfod. Kossuth upheld
the cau,e OF Hungary not only throughout the war,
but throughout years more disastrous. Ony one ora
tor snd statesman ever acted with 80 much ability,
consistency and energy; he, too, was an exile. De-
mo.tbtres victim crowned with imperishable glory
walked calmly forth from the temple of Poseidou and
shook hands 10 Death spariog his enemy the guilt of
his muroer. May We Englshnen be exempted from
a guilt almost heinous-the guilt of seeing die
