CLTFFOBD.-There aro few persons who have attended tho theatre who havo not shaken their sides over the performances of the "funny man"-Hr. Clifford. To-night is his benefit, and thoso who know him and have laughed over his acting, should not fail to at? tend. Tho bill is ono peculiarly calculated to produce fun, and ovcry theatre-goer should be present. THE NEW MASK VEIL, the latest novelty in this line in Paris, has made its appearance in New York. It is embroidered thickly, except in the space left for tho mouth and-eyes, and is edged with silk fringe. At present they aro five dollars each, but they will be lower by-n.nd by. The popular style of veil is made of sprigged net of all colors; it is rounded upon the lower edgo and terminates in tabs which arc tied at tho back; the border is of blonde, the color of tho net. EDUCATION IN GBEENVTLLE.-Dr. Sears, the General Agent of the Peabody fund, has ad? dressed a meeting of citizens on the subject of the Peabody Educational Fund, and, as a re? sult of the meeting, it has been determined to take up a subscription of twenty-five hun? dred dollars, to be applied to the opening and support of a primary school and ncademic de? partments. Nearly sixteen hundred dollars have already been subscribed, and Dr. Sears has promised that, if the whole twenty-five hundred dollars is contributed by the citizens, the trustees of tho Peabody fund will make them a donation of one thousand dollars. SEBVICES AT GB A CT. CHUBCH LAST NIGHT. The Rev. C. C. Pinckney preached last night at Grace Church to the Young Men's Christian Association on the following text: "I have hid thy words in my heart." The sermon was highly practical in its character, and was listened to with marked attention. The Sunday services of the association are invariably well attended, and it is now in a Bound and flourishing condition. MEETING OF PRINTERS.-A meeting of the journeymen printers of this city, was held on .Saturday evening, 28th instant, at the Hall of Charleston Fire Engine Comp my. On motion, John F. Britton was called to the Chair, and the following resolutions, on motion, were adopted: Rejoiced, That we now organize ourselves into a Typographies Association Xor the es? tablishment of a co-operative store, and that all present be invited to enroll their names as members of the same. Resolved, That a committee of three be ap? pointed to report a set of rules and regulations for the government of the association, and as soon as they complete the work they have power to call a meeting to report the result. In accordance with the first resolution, all present enrolled their names; and under tho second resolution, the following gentlemen were appointed a committee: Messrs. J. W. Bntland, Thomas Arnold and John Carr. The following resolution was, on motion, unanimously adopted: Besotted, That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to tho Charleston Fire Engine Com ?any for the uso of their hall, and that the same e announced through the daily papers of the city. On motion, the meeting then adjourned. NEW STYLE OF HOOPS.-It is announced that we are to have tho revival of the old-fashioned hoops, or, as the French call them, panniers or baskets, which were first in vogue in France a hundred and thirty years ago, and were af? terwards a favorite article of dress with thc beautiful Marie Antoinette and her ladies just before the revolution of 1789. They con? sist simply of a circular frame-work of whale? bone or other suitable material, fastened around the person beneath the waist and above the hips, extending equally in every direction, producing and extraordinary enlargement and rotundity of the figure. When the fashion was at its extreme, the rule was that the diameter of the pannier should be equal to the height of the wearer. The ladies of Paris, according to correspondents, have already adopted this fashion. Not only the young and sylph-like, but the middle-aged and the stout sport pan? niers, the latter rendering themselves abso? lutely ridiculous in a costume which requires to be worn with all the ease and grace possible to render it presentable. But the same outcry wa j raised when the first balloon-like crinoline sailed into fashion. REATOVAL OF JUDGE ALDBICH.-It will be seen by the following extract, from Ordor No. 69, that Judge Aldrich has been removed by Gen? eral Canby, and Mr. Zephaniah Platt appoint? ed in his stead. We understand that Mr. . Platt is the father-in-law of Colonel Willard, and has been in this department since the oc? cupation : " The following removal from civil office, is hereby made: "Judge of the Court of Sessions and Common Pleas, A. P. Aldrich. "Tho following appointment to civil office is hereby made, to fill the vacancy: "Judge of the Court of Sessions and Common Pleas, Zephaniah Platt. "The officer herein appointed, will before en? tering upon his duties, take and subscribe be? fore a Justice of Peace, Notary Public or other person authorized by law to administer oaths, the oath of office prescribed in the act .of Con? gress, approved 2d July, 1862." POLICE ITEMS.-A letter was received at the detective office some days since concerning a robbery that had occurred in Macon, in which the parties had been despoiled of some gold, greenbacks, and a silver watch. It was sup-1 posed that the thieves had visited Charleston, and the intimation was sufficient to stir tho detectives. They arrested a party yesterday -and secured some of tho booty, but will take further steps in tho matter. On last, Thursday twenty dollars in silver and coppers was stolen from the premises of Mr. Nolie, in Liberty-street, while he was moving. The money was in a trunk, which was broken open during the move. The de? tectives arrested a colored man, and a portion of the plunder has been secured. On Saturday night a burglar entered tho house of Mr. Tupper, in Tradd-street, near King. Tho noise aroused tho inmates, and Mr. Fred. Tupper and his brother went down stairs. The robber knocked down the younger Mr. Tupper, and succeeded in escaping without securing any plunder. The case has been re? ferred to the detectives for examination. Good ?bye burglar ! Thc Free Schools of Charleston Past, Present and Future. The free schools of Charleston will c favorably, in every respect, with those i Northern cities, and they confer cre< upon tho State and upon tho individ inaugurated tho present excellent syste Mr. Jefferson Bennett is mainly duo th< ing result that has been obtained in tl ter of public education. Ho saw tho nc of a new dcvelopcment, and for nearly years devoted himself steadily to tl great object. He was influenced by r of reward or political preferment, but labored for thc good of his State. Under tho old regime tho free sch thc city were generally located in da narrow lanes or in some almost lnacc place. For many years one of those i held its sessions in a house built on ] tho marsh at the eastern boundary of tl At high tide it was surrounded by* wah at ebb by the marsh mud; it was con with tho main land by a bridge, and, nc standing the ineligible location, was u a considerable length of time. This school was not, howover, the only objee ble one, as the school bu?dings were got dark and badly ventilated. In those c was customary to pay tho teacher a amount of money, out of which he won the rent of a school house, the residue his fee or salary. Although there were or nine of these schools in tho city, tho dance was generally small, and the very of "free school" became distasteful to tb plo, most parents preferring their child; grow up in ignorance to sending chem to schools. The Meeting-street school stood as tho sole redeeming feature o state of affairs. It was built by tho I and was, curiously enough, intended to I model school building of the city. But i originally only two largo rooms, in whi of tho scholars were taught. Class r were then unknown, and tho more nois pupils made in their recitations the more gent they were presumed to be. Not standing the deficiencies in tho free 8 system of that day, it was not without redeeming qualities. It was the best could then be furnished and, possibly, a of appreciation of tho advantages of ge education prevented any efforts for a chi After years of patient waiting, Hon. I Momminger, Mr. Lynnett and Judge Mag all firm friendB of edi* cation, succeedec December, 1854, in obtaining an approprii from the legislature, and a new board of sc coninfisaioners were elected. This board into office on the 22d of January, 1853, anc mediately commenced operations. TUT. ST. PHILIP'S 8TOEET SCHOOL was the first built, tho board having g ra the contract on the 7th July, 1855. The b ings formerly occupying the site were rem and on the 25th of June, 1856, the new sc house was opened to the public. The ei prise had been commenced with grave do as to its future success; for it sundered all associations and introduced a new era in history of the State Public Schools. The c missioners had watched the progress of building with anxiety, and had come prep; to see the much talked of public school eitl small success or a gr ?at failure. They were, 1 ever, most agreably surprised as the opei day was all that the fondest aspirations had tured. The school was crowded with pu; and the popularity of the commissioner public benefactors, increased daily. The tem of education was the same as that ado] in all the Northern cities, the Misses monds- two ladies who were well acquaii with this style of instruction-being engage act as principal and assistant for the female parement, and Mr. Geddings as the malo ase ant. The other teachers were principally nali of the city, and were chosen from a numbe applicants. Until the war commenced the Philip's street school enjoyed on nninterrup career of prosperity, but during the great s tr i gie its usefulness was necessarily imperil On the re-organization of tb.9 schools, Mr. H Archer was elected principal, and has si retained that position. The school is now vided into three departments, the malo gn mar, the intermediate and the primary. The. monthly report shows the following s tateme First Department, seven teachers (one pi cipaJ in each department), six classes, and < hundred and twenty-six scholars, with average attendance of one hundred end nine four. Second Department, seven teache six classes, two hundred and sixty-one pup and an average attendance of two hunch and seven. Third Department, eleven touche ten cUsses, five hundred and eighty-n: pupils, and an average attendanoe of four hi dred and seventy. The total number of pup in this school is one thousand and seventy-s and ic was found necessary to refuse a lal number of applicants at the last term. THE NOE?AL SCHOOL, in St. Phihp-street, was the next erected. A thority was obtained from the legislature 1857, the contract was awarded on the 12th Jnly, 1858, and the school opened on tho 23d May, 1859. This was designed as a high sehe for young ladies who had finished che com of studies -in the other school. Mr. F. Sawyer was chosen principal, and, until t war, this school was perhaps the best patio ized in the city, many young ladies position attending its course. The instro tion was thorough and complete, embra ing, besides the English branches, Frene and drawing, and the graduates were ful competent to assume the duties of teacher if so disposed. It was opened with fifty-oi pupils, but this number rapidly increase When the schools were reorganized, Mr. H. ll Mood was elected principal, and continued I act in that capacity, charging a small tnitic fee, until a further change was made by tl commissioners, and a free school eaal lished, when Miss Anna M. Simonco was appointed principal. At present the schoe has eleven teachers and ten classes, and iou hundred and seventy-two scholars, with a average attendance last month of three hue dred and seventy-' . The teachers are a ladies, most of them being graduates of th institution. The studies, as yet, embrace onl the English branches, but tho commissioner design, in time, making the school what it wa in the past. THE FIUEND-STBEET SCHOOL was contracted for on the 2G*th July, 185S ane was opened on thc 23d of May, 1859. Thi other schools had become crowded, and it wai found necessary to open another in the lowei wards. This school was well attended and ii u prosperous condition until thc disastrous fire of 18C1, which swept over that portion of the city, and laid the structure in ruius. The de pressed state of the country has prevented thc commissioners from rebuilding, but they have since purchased an adjoining lot, and increas? ed the size of their property. THE il 0 RE IS - ST BEET SCHOOL was built for the same reasons that induced the orection of that in Friend-street, and was opened on the first Monday in October, I860. It was soon crowded with pupils, and its ses? sions were continued during tho war, after the buildings in tho lower portion of the city were abandoned. When the commissioners resum? ed charge of the buildings it was detenuined to continue it as a colored school, it having been used as such by the Freedman's Bureau. Mr. T. W. Glen was chosen principal, and an able corjis of assistants elected. The colored school was an experiment, bat it has proved eminently successful ootwitbstaudiog the num? ber of colored schools now in the city. Tho at? tendance has steadily increased, as the follow? ing statistics will show. In October there were four hundred and sixty pupils registered; in November four hundred and ninety-three; in December fire hundred and six; in January rive hundred and seventy-one; and in February, the last return made, five hundred and eighty two, with an average attendance during that month of threo hundred and ninety-eight Tho school is divided into threo departments? male, female and primary. In the two first there are four teachers aid threo classes, and in the primary seven teachers and six classes. TUE MEETEKG-STBEET SCHOOL has been completely remodollcd, and tho large halls divided into class rooms. It is thc only school house in the eastern part of tlc city, and is well attended. There are now seven teachers and six classes, threo hundred and two pupils being enrolled, with au average at? tendance of two hundred and eighteen. Hrs. Isabella Blain is the principal. TOE TEACHEBS' SCHOOL is held every Saturday morning afc tho Nor? mal School Building, and is attondod, not only by every teacher employed by thc Board, but by a number of young ladies who design fitting themselves for tho responsible position of | toachors. Mr. H. P. Archer has boen ap? pointed principal, and tho school is conducted under the rules which aro enforced by tho different teachers in their own class rooms. Tho Saturday school is intended to improvo tho minds of the teachers, and to make them better able to impart instruction to their pupils. Many of tho teachers are former graduates of thc Normal School, and are thor? oughly fitted for their duties. An examina? tion will bo held at an early day, and all who pass will receive diplomas that will secure them positions as teachers in any part of thc State. STATISTICS. Tho average attoadanco in all of tho schools last month was soveDty-six per cent.; in the white schools sovonty-nino per cont., and in the colored sixty-eight per cent. This low averago was caused by tho number of rainy days in February, when only a few scholars were pres - ont. Tho property owned by the Board of | Commissioners consists of the different school houses montionod, with the large lots attached, and two houses at tho coraor of Boaufain and St. Philip streets,-adjoining the Normal School lot. Each of the school buildings cost about $30,000, and the present total value of the prop? erty is estimated at $100,000. Tho furniture and material used for educational purposes are of the most approved style and pattern, while the buildings are large, commodious, well ventilated, aud admirably adapted to their purpose. THE BO ABD OF COMMIS SIOKEB8 was elected at the last session of the State Legislature, and consists of tho following gen? tlemen: C. G. Memminger, chairman; C. M. Forman, W. S. Honery, C. H. Simonton, Ben? jamin Lucas, W. A. Pringle, F. A. Sawyer, W. J. Bennett, F. Richards, J. Russell, P. J. Coo gan, Henry Buist, and E. M. Grimke, Secreta? ry. Committees of these commissioners have been assigned to each school, and a general superintendence is exercised. Mr. Jefferson Bennett, to whom these schools owe much of | their present prosperity, Reclined to servo, and another gentleman was elected in his place. THE PEABODY FUND. The magnificent donation of Mr. George Peabody has been well applied by the commis? sioners in charge. Dr. Sears, the visiting agent, is now in the city, and attended the teachers' school last Saturday. He has ex? pressed himself as being thoroughly pleased with the general management of tho schools, and thought there could bo no better mode of | fulfilling the wishes of the donor than by awarding them a portion of tho Peabody fund. One thousand dollars has already been re? ceived by the commissioners, and this will be followed by further advances as the intereet of | the fund accumulates. THE FUT CUE of these schools is doubtful. We have fallen upon strange times, and our "lines are not cast in pleasant places." The new rulers of the land appear to have the full control, and what they dictate will for tho time be law. Indiscriminate huddling together of whites and blacks would, however, cause the ruin of tho public schools, and reduce them to a con? dition in which they would bo neither honor? able, serviceable nor advantageous.

On Saturday a fan, work-box and basket were awarded to citizens of Charles? ton, and tho interest manifested in the exhibi? tion has induced Mr. Sargent to prolong his stay.
