YESTERDAY was conspicuous for nothing, except .
superabundance OF rain and mud It was the wettest
and darkest, and nastiest day Of the season neither
the darkness nor the rain abang the heat to any ap
preciable extent.
CITY COUNCIL This body met last night for Its
regular session, and adjourned to Thursday night,
after adopting preamble and resolutions suggested
by the occurrence Of the death OF the amented D.
Crossman, an ex.Mayor Of the city, which proceed
nss will be found officially published in their appro-
pirate place in this paper.
The SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS progress, notwith.
standing the bad weather.
The Girls High School Of the Fourth District ives
to be examined yesterday and but for the horrible
weather, which rendered the streets impe-sable,
donted the umbrellas, and soaked through the ON.
nibusses we should have been present to give some
account OF 1t. The examination Of the Boys High
School is to take place to-day.
The Third District School examinations began on
Monday, with the school at Milneburg. At that
akeshore settlement are II children, all taught by
one teacher alone, Miss McCerren. The examination
was highly satisfactory for so large crowd under
one teacher only and hear the Directors and su.
perintendent, as well the Milneburgers speak in
the highest terms of the accomplished and efficient
lady who conducts the school.
The Hancock School, near the Barracks was ex.
amined yesterday Mr.. Barau is the principal, and
as we heard, the examination proved him to have
done well. We heard high compliments paid to two
girls in that school, in particular; Miss Adeline Jour-
dan and Miss Desiree Dupree who were perfect in all
the branches taught, and by that received the un.
qualified applause Of all present.
To.days examination will be that of the LIE Breton
School at the Bayou Road.
SCARCELY ANYTHING in the usual line Of city in.
tellgence offered yesterday The different Recorders
did nothing more than 10 clear their dockets fix few
cases and adjourn; all in compliance with the May.
ors proclamation, relative to the death of ex.Mayor
Crossman.
The flag Of the City Hall was at half.mast all day.
and the entrances to all the city offices were hung in
mourning.
The funeral, had it taken place, would certainly
have been grand and imposing affair. But the
weather was too bad !; the incessant rain and the
flooded streets necessitated posponement, and the
funeral ceremonies are to take place today.
HEAVY REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITS took place
on Monday afternoon. A box, containing $4,000 in
South American gold doubloons shipped with mum.
Der of other such boxes on board the ship Wurtem-
burg for Havre was taken from its proper place on
board, and red of all its contents. The broken and
empty box was found in the stewards room. The
steward and his wife, the stewardess, English peo
pe) were no more to be found than the abducted
gold. The police were soon put on the qui riue, but
as yet their researches have amounted to nothing.
In consequence of the robbery the ship had to defer
her departure.
THE PAVING OF CAMP STREET with square blocks
progresses finely considering how much the work is
retarded by the wet weather. The ripping up will
soon be in front of the Crescent office.
WE LEARN, authortatively, that it is the inten.
tion of the cofeehouse keepers arrested and tried
before Recorder Summers under the law which on
Monday was pronounced unconstitutional by Judge
Duvigneaud, to bring action against the Recorder
and police for illegal arrest and imprisonment etc,
Col. Field is counsel for the whole coffee-house
crowd, and will take them through if the thing be
possible.

on and as the schoomasters are not supposed to be
abroad, we may with proprety submit the following
