The committee appointed to attend the examination of the students, on the 17ih nnd lgth inst in Floral College, respectfully report Nthe hoard, that lli*?v attcn. , g (led to the duly assigned them : and heart I them examined carefully ami impartially on their respective studies.? They were examined on Reading, Spelling, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geography History, Algebra, Geometry, Client's! ry, X-'tifal Philosophy, Rotauy, and Rhetoric, in wiJeh, they sustained generally, an examination creditable to themselves and highly honorable to their instructors. This examination has i?decd afforded additional evidence of the ability and unwearied fidojity of the teachers, and also of the progressive intellectual proficiency of the pupils general,y; . . The numerous specimens of drawing, painting, and embroidery, exhibited, were ! Worthy of hi<*h eomnicn lation. The performance of many of the ycung ladies in music on 'lie Piano Porte, j could Ik? letter estimated, by therivetted attention, for several hours, of a large, J 1 respectable audience. It would have I 1 done however to persons of more age, and j also of more c.\|x;rienre tn practice.? i The committee cannot omit to express I ' the pleasure Ihey derived from observing | with what care elementary principles, in every department were assiduously inctil- I j cated; for without due and proper alien- | lion hy them, no basis can he laid for the ! erection of a solid superstructure. And . now in conclusion, it is with unfeigned ' jdeasure, that we can state that our Institution both in its literary and ornamental department has sustained a reputation, 1 j?K<iy entitling it to that eonndence and patf.octage, which it has so liberally re- '' ceived from a generous community.

V-,~? upon as ?o formidable a source of dispute, it i ties not appear that there will be any dispute j about it. Mr. SmnVy has boon in Maryland for some days. Rumour says that he goes thence to ' Delaware, where he will remain for a lew < I days lunger, hut, with what intent, will be i { beit known hereafter. It is very certain that he has not challenged Mr Wise yet, and nearly a week has elapsed since the late col ' list in between them. 1 .Mr. Wise is here. Last night he was ar. ; rested and taken before a magistrate, on a c warrant issued upon information that lie was i about to fight a duel. Mr. Wise demanded ' an examination of the evidence, and nothing j 1 was produced a* testimony, except the ruinnr i that .Mr. iStanlv had challenged him, am] the inference that A/r. Wise would meet it forth- j with. In answer to this, Mr. Wise offered to j make oath that lie hud not rcceiicd any chal~ | lenge, that he had lereived no intimation of a i f challenge, that he did not cryrcf to receive a ! ? challenge, and, further, that tie did not intend to commit any breach of the peace, within the District of C dumhia. The case was postponed till 10 o'clock, this I morning, when, without additional proof, it was insisted, on the part of the District At- y torney, that Mr. Wise ought to be bound over r to keep the peace in all the United mates? , Mr. Wise congested the right of the magistrate to hind him over at a!', without evidence, and t disputed the jurisdiction of the magistrate J over the whole United States. The justice ( referred the case to Judge Dnnhp, Judge of the Criminal Court of the District of Co luiiihia, and the questions above mentioned, nre to be argued to-morrow, between ( Mr. Kendall, the District Attorney, and Mr. Wise, before that Court. 1 The House took up the Navy Appropri- 1 ation hill to-day, and made some progress in it. Much exception was taken to the number of naval appointments from this I District, Maryland and Virginia, and it I i r> * was contended (hat they ought to lie < more equally distributed, according to j ' the population of the different States. j i In the Senate, Mr. Merrick submitted j i a resolution to provide that all letters j relative to nominations and appointments for office, he kept as confidential, for which Mr. McUoberts proposed as a substitute. that the Senate shall sit, with !' Diirn doors upon all nominations for of- j lice. The civil and diplomatic appropriation ! bill returned from the House with sundry amendments to too Senate amendments, J was taken up. j I The Senate insisted upon the amend- j f ment paying for the furniture of the New j f York Custom House, which the House 1 .ion-eoti< urred irt. Hut the House will ! 5 adhere unanimously. There will he a ' < conference, hut it will result in throwing j I out tlie appropriation. The Xow York !? Custom House is in such had odour just \* now, in consequence of Mr. Poindcxtcr's j Report, that it can hardly ?Tct justice.? 1 ' Rut it is contended that thee is nothing j I more due to the m?.far .furniture..]' The interpolations made by the architect j in the letter from Mr. Woodhurv, giving orders for the records, cast n suspicion ! y over the whole transaction. 'J'he day of j ' government extravagance, and profuse i I and corrupt expenditure, is gone by for * the present. i The House amendment providing salaries for commercial agents on the west- j | ern coast of Africa, was rejected by a ' large majority. Mr. M-irehead spoke in 1 favor of it. lie mentioned that it was strongly uroed bv the Colonization Socie- ( n ' P t ty ; that it would greatly promote the trade of the United States on that coast, ^ and that it wonld have an important in- ; f flueme in effecting a suppression of the |j -lave trad i.

In the House, to-day, Mr. Graham ofercd a resolution lor a graduation of the ippointments to office in the U.S. Navy, ions to give to each state or territory a iiimhrr of officers proportioned to thoir ederal representative. The House took up tiie disagreeing rotes, lietween the House and the Sentic, on the general appropriation hill.? The disagreement to the Senate amendnent relative to the New York Custom House, was adhered to ; also the disagreenent as to the Boston Custom House.

Dear Harflett: I take occasjon to vrite von hv the present opportunity to n form von of the occurrences which hflVC aken place here for the last two days. 3.1 Monday the Court was organized, and ifler a spirited and able charge by Judge Ta\lor to the Grand Jury, defining their lowers, and pointing to them their sworn ihligations, we proceeded quietly and reg. ilariy onward in the disposition of the Misinoss of the term.

From the Daily Advertiser and Patriot, i It has been suggested that General Cass ; departed from the proper duties of a Minister | of his country by the publication of his recent j pamphlet on the Right of Search; particti. ! larly, in causing it to be published in French, with a view of affecting the opinions of the French people, and the conduct of the Chamber of Deputies.
