WASHINGTON FEMALE ScHooL--We spent an hour
or two very pleasantly yesterday at the examination
of the public schools for females, Of Magazine
and Terpsichore streets, First District, We learned
from the several teachers that there are over three
hundred pupils in attendance upon this school, vary
ing in age from six to sixteen, and more orderly,
well conducted set of pupils can nowhere be met
with. The school being divided into two depart
mehts, primary and elementary, and each department
intb three separate rooms had not opportunity
of hearing aud seeing all the exercises but in pass
ing from room to room, we heard classes examined
in geography, mental and practical arithmetic, and
reading, in all of which the pupils acquitted them
selves in manner highly credtable to both pupils
and teachers. We were really surprised at the read
ness aud distDctness with which some of the lesser
misses answered questions which caused their seniors
to hesitate and ponder. The questions were not
asked in regular order is too often the case Int
prdmiscuously which showed that the questions and
answers had not been learned by rote. We did not
hear the compositions of the more advanced pupils
read, but examined a few of them, which we found
written in fair and clever style. We were surprised
to Zee so few of our citizens present at this examna
tiop 1t would appear that the public do not take as
much interest in the public schools as their import
ante merits and demands They should be the pride
and boast Of every citizen of New Orleans. Exam.

and only S6l5 ,524 exports. Now, the explana-
ton is to be found in the amount of supplies and
goods furnished to the whaling feet. No one
believes that they supply all their wants with
S15l 600. Not at all. Were any correct state
ment of the business of each whaler recruiting
here to be obtained, it would be found that the
fleet take up in domestic products and imported
goods, on which duty has been paid, annually
not less than $1,000, and in former years (say
from 1850 to '54) much larger amounts. In
payment of these supplies they tender their drafts,
and these drafts are sent abroad to pay for imports.
But this, of course, does not and cannot appear
in the Collectors tables.
In addition to the tables furnished in former
years, the Collector has add d one showing the
direct trade of foreign vessels with the Hawaiian
Islands from and to " home ports" By it, it
appears that of the goods imported nearly three
fourths are under the American flag, and almost
the entire outward cargoes are under the same
flag. Following this table is one exhibiting
the carrying trade of the islands with foreign
ports, which is only a continuation of the pre-
vious.
The statistics given by the Collector are more
full and probably more reliable than those of any
previous year, and if the details of his depart
ment show the same accuracy and clearness, he
deserves credit for the manner in which it has
been conducted. In these annual statistics
there is, however, room for improvement. Were
the number of passengers arriving and departing
added, with perhaps the number of seamen
shipped and discharged, it would be valuable.
So also the amount of coin imported and exported.

THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY IL.

CAN it be that the C commerce. of the islands is
falling of?-that the real, vital prosperity of the
kingdom is diminishing? The tables prepared
by the Collector-Gcneral, which we published
January %, indicate this. They should be ex-
amined by every one who has any interest in the
commercial advance of our islands especially by
our statisticians, legislators and government. Ii
our commerce is really retrograding, as the figures
indicate, and the country going back to heathen-
dom, the cause should be sought for, discovered,
and if possible remedied.
In order that our readers may compare the
trade of the past year with that of previous years,
we have prepared the following exhibit, which
will show the principal totals for the past twelve
wears
