RE POUT or THE KX VXINtXV. COMMITTEE
of FLORAL college.
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.

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

Mr. IV-rrien. Mr. Calhoun and others ! ^
opposed the proposition as irregular. It j |

The Senate has made very essential

a resolution lor a graduation of the
ippointments to office in the U.S. Navy,
ions to give to each state or territory a

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.
The House receded from their amendment
for a salary to commercial agents

The court has not yet adjourned, and

is condered that the bonds amounts to
just nothing of all.

3.1 Monday the Court was organized, and

udge of our surprise on Thursday morning

mind that " the Clerk's office was stolen" the

ail the papers the dockets, the minutes

nd the Grand Jury being in Court, the Judge
nformcd them of the outrage upon the rights,

lie records, and charged them specially to

when the people of Rhode Island demanded
a constitution recognizing "the largest

granted?that the people of a sovereign

It confessed that thus charter imposes

must and will he invested with the great
and precious prerogative of voting. As.
surning that what it is pleased to call n
rebellion is now at an end, it warns the
charter government against pushing its
advantage?and admonishes il not to presume
too much or too long upon the popular
forbearance. It also advises the
calling of a convention at the earliest opportunity,
for the purpose of framing a
constitution.
This is truth wrung from one of the
