our Public schools,

The annual term of our Free Schools
closed yesterday with the examination of
the High School, The schools, in every
department, give evidence OF the eminent
qualifications of the teachers, and of the
ability of their management. We nave not
been able to attend the examinations, but
we have been promised review of them by
an intelligent correspondent. The instruct
ors in all the departments have performed
their duties faithfully, but the High School,
we are told, exhibited an unusual degree of
progress in learning and excellence in men,
tai culture and discipline. The glory and
boast Of our city are her admirable public
schools; and the examinations of the past
week prove that the minds they develop
and polish are stronger and more brilliant
at every annual exhibition OF their opera
TONS
1t las been reported, but we hope with
out foundation in fact, that the schools
would be curtailed in their operations, next
year. If the city cannot carry on the
schools with the present revenue. then let
other expenses be cut down. Let US reduce
the salaries of city officers, turn off the gas,
or in any way provide the means to carry
on all the schools. just as they have been
carried on for years past. The suspension
of our schools would be more disastrous to
the future welfare of the city, than the sus-
pension of all our banks.

The SUNDAY School CELEBRArIoN To-
MORRow.-By the programme published
elsewhere, it will be seen that the Sunday
School children propose having a huge
time tomorrow. Never in the history of
Fourths" has there been offered so much
music and SO many spread-eagle speeches
for so little outlay, and we presume that
everybody will be there. 1t is important
that those who go should bear in mind that
they must furnish their own provisions, and
parents should have their childrens' baskets
ready, so that they may be on hand prompt
ly at o'clock at their different rendezvous.
The Henderson children will be present
tomorrow, and it will be our duty to en-
terrain them. Every family that can, win
please furnish an extra basket for our Hen
derson friends. At this time it is particu-.
larly desirable to show our neighbors across
the river all possible kindness and attention.

S&F The gun boats of the government at
Cincinnati, are not likely to prove very
dangerous to their enemies-at least until
the "Fall RISE" They are ingloriously
laid up at Portland, being unable to pass the
bar at that place. 1t was a great blunder,
that they were given to Cincinnati contract
ors, when they could have been as easily
built here, or at New Albany, as there, and
if specifications had been sent to the Survey
or of this place or New Albany, our
mechanics would have had an opportunity
of competing for the work. Any man
of ordinary sense, not intent upon dis
covering the way How Not to Do
1t " would have presumed it good policy to
build the boats below the Falls, and below
the bars, which obstruct navigation above
Evansville. But Quartermaster General
Meigs thought otherwise, and it is pos
sible that the Government may yet be driv-
en- here for gun boats, if their services are
required within the next six months
Meantime, the three boats already in the
field, are paying wharfage at Louisville
So we go.
