Davenport, per pupil. .....................S 5.44
We believe the Public Schools of Davenport
are ns we'll conducted as auy in the State, and
that you are entitled to the credit of having
At least ss good q sy stem Of Education. aud as
good teachers, as any other part Of Iowa. We
do not think that the mass OF the inhabitants
give that attention to the Public Schools, or to
the acts Of the Board, which it is their duty to
do. Parents should Welt the schools in person
and let both teachers and children, know that
they take an interest in their education.
We present you detailed estimate of the
expenses for the coming year, and an estimate
of the tax to be levied to support the Schools
for ten months We invite your attention to
it: We are disposed to congratulate you that
the Public School debt, when the present taxes
are paid, will be extinguished go far as it lie
due, and that hereafter. you can conduct your
Pupblic Schools without any more heavy taxes
Many improvements could be suggested, but
as the public have large debts in other res poets,
We do not feel inclined to encourage any out
lays of money, except what is required to keep
the Public Schools up TO their present charac.
ter. We have no idea that you will be salts
fed with any falling off in this respect. The
School Houses are large enough and there are
children enough, to make Q large increase in
the number of attendants. Children from ad-
iacent Districts, are seeking the advantage Of
your High School, and persons who have lett
here, have returned because they could have
better means Of education in Dav export, than
in other places. The system of education
which has been devised here, has proved to
be successful experiment. and we have
endeavored to discharge our share Of public
duty in the premises.
The Secretary presents the following state.
ment Of the expenses Of the District during his
term Of service. namely, from and including
the 10th Of March. 1850. to and including the
llth Of March, 1861.

The LECTUEE-Thc lecture at the
Methodist church last evening, was poorly At
tendsd-about forty 10 al. The lecture itself,
was nothing more nor less than . miserable,
low dung TRADE Of abolition blackguardism.
The Reverend politician directed his remarks
in the main, to vituperating the South and the
Democratic party, and glorifying Black Re-
pubheans. The principal point made was,
that the principles of the Chicago Platform
must be maintained, though the lives Of un
told millions paid the forfeit His abuse Of
Mr. Buchanan was particularly vindictivs and
ungentlemanly. aud We are glad 10 know that
the sentiments so expressed. we're there
hisssd roundly. We would advise this Mr.
Csx-this Reverend blackguard. to forgo the
pulpit and conine himself to somc employment
more congebial to his nature-thst of stealing
niggers, for instance. This is the sort of man
the lie Claire people have got to help them
raise money to pay of their church debt
Those Who were instrumental in procuring his
aid, had better dismiss him ct once. He is
evidently too much wrapped mp in the cause
Of Black Rspubiicanism to be Of any benefit
to the cause Of Christianity.

The BrocKADE.-The British Consul al
Richmond has laid before the British Min
isier, Lord Lyons, official documents re-
speeding recent cases where The blockade
OF the Chesapeake had been broken by Pri
vate individuals by permission of the gov
eminent. It appears, from the aliedged
facts communicated BY the British Consul,
that passes have been issued by General
Butler, permitting private individuals and
vessels to pass through the blockade Cop
les of these passes, purporting to bear Gen.
eral Buffers signature, were taken from the
parties, and are among the documents COM
municated.
Lord Lyons, il is understood, has called
the attention of the Government 10 these
facts, and requests an explanation. The
questions involved are of the highest i'm
portance. II appears that the British agents
al the several ports at the South are keep
ing most vigilant watch respecting the
blockaded ports, and it is quite probable
they may give US trouble whenever any
preiexi or opportunity may occur.
