FREE IRRIGATION AT NIGHr.-How many hundreds
of men and boys in this city, hard-workng and
honest, still spend their evening leisure in a manner
disadvantageous to themselves. If they would only
quit loafing about the cotfeehouscs and other time
killing and money.spending places, and spend their
evenings at the night school, they would benefit them
selves in double sense now as well hereafter. All
the branches of useful and polite education taught
in the night schools which the Directors have caused
to be opened, and all the cost, to boy, is the
women and girls. Youth who have not the opportu-
nifty of attending the day Schools and grown people
whose education has been neglected, should by all
means avail themselves of these fine opportunities of
improving themselves at night. The male school of
the First District held in the Marshall School House,
on St. Mary, between Girod and Julia streets, and
that for females at the Franklin School House, on ST.
Charles, between Girod and Julia streets. Both are
open each evening through the week, from halfpast
six to nine o'clock. These useful institutions have
been well attended thus far, but not near so exten
sively as they should be in city like New Orleans.
STEAMBOAT DESTROYED BY FIRE.-We learn from
the officers of the steamer R. W. Powell, which boat
arrived yesterday, that Monday last the steamer
Alice W. Glaze, Capt Louallier, from Washington for
this port, took fire when nine miles above Bayou
Sara and, together with her cargo which consisted
of 407 bales of cotton 263 hogsheads Of sugar. $50
barrels of moasses and sundries, was totally CON
sumed. The passengers and crew all escaped injury
Tic origin of the fire is not known, but it is sup
posed that the cotton was gnted by sparks from the
chimneys. In very short time after the fire broke
out the boat was enveloped in flames We under
stand that there was $4,000 insurance on the boat.
