KXCUAXOM Pawm.?We ouutinue to noeiv* by every mail aonnpapon ooutalulnf our little eanl " To the Pub lic," auJ aiklng an exchange. Our offer lu that ha* heeu long (luce revoked. u Public Schools or Washington.?We are enabled to sdd the following to the itenib we have already given of the proceedings of Urn Board of Trustees on Wednesday evening: Col. Randolph, from the committee to exam ine the Treasurer's accounts, reported that they had been examined and found to have been carefully kept, and recommended their appro val, which recommendatiou was unanimously adopted by the Board. It was resolved, unanimously, to request the Councils to add a second story to the Third District school-house, so as to provide for the separation of the sexes, as in all the other dis trict schools, and to authorize the appointment of a female teacher for the department thus created ; and to authorize the Board to appoint . a female assistant in Primary School, No. 1, First District, and one also in the male Prima ry of the Second District, at a salary of $200 por annnm?it being understood that it will involve no additional expense for fuel, rent, &c.; the school rooms above-mentioned being both sufficiently large to accommodate two teachers. In view of the higher grade of study, and the increased duties and responsibilities devolv ing on the ladies in charge of the female de partments of the district schools, it was re solved unanimously, on motion of Mr. Abbot, to recommend the Councils to increase their salaries to $300 each per annum. They at present receive but $250, the same as teachers of the primary schools. Some conversation took place respecting the appointment of assistant teachers, and the hope *as expressed, that, at the end of the present year, there might be presented candidates who should be found well qualified from the female department of the district schools. A New Candidate fob the Presidenct.? Col. Forney, the clever and able editor of the Penntylva nian, is not without a vaulting ambi tion. " The governing of the United States," he says, " seems to be a very simple and easy pro cess !" What follows ? Why, that he can per form it, of course 1 But hear his proofs: " It would seem to require no attention either from the President or any of his ministers. It is known that since the adjournment of Con gress in March last, up to the present time, tney have scarcely been in Washington for a week at a time." Has the Colonel forgotten that ware here, and J that the President and Cabinet enjoy the ad vantage of our advice aud guidance ? Who at tended to the important affairs of Cuba in the absence of the President and his Cabinet, and kept Mr. Stuart's dependants in order, and pre ?ented their declaration of independence, during that time? We did. Who took care of Mr. Corwin s reputation and Oardiner and Mears claims* perquisites, while he was in Ohio! We did. Would we do as much for Col. Forney, were he President? Not ? bit of it. We are pledged to see the present dynasty to their journey's end, and once there we shall give up this business of governing the nation. It is troublesome; and as Mr. Fillmore and his min isters every now and then take up the notion of meddling in the affairs themselves, of course there are some tangled and complicated matters to be looked into. Congress may next winter do something in this way, but not enough to get all right for Mr. Fillmore's successor. We think that if the Cjplonel is wise he will silence the promptings of his ambition, and remain in the honorable position he now so nobly graces. New Publication*. Incidents in the Life of a Pastor. By William ' Wuner, D. D. New York; Charles Scribner, ' 1846. 1 vol. 12mo.?This volume, the author informs us, is made up of the incidents in a life which has been worn out in efforts to promote the temporal and eternal well-being of those to whom it is dedicated?the members of the segregations over which lie has presided as pastor. These incidents extend over a period of more than thirty years. The objects of the author are avowed to be to assist and encourage younger brethren in their labors of love with their dying fellow Attn, and to aid awakened sinners in finding their way to Christ. 1 The subjects treated are very numerous, and ' the reader passes through them all in agreeable and profitable intercourse with the good and venerable pastor, and cannot control the rising wish that pastors generally would treasure up this kind of experience for the instruction of their fellow-men. This world wears many as pects, all depending upon the points from which it is viewed; and the honest observer, whose position is favorable, should add power to the vision of those less favored. Dr. Wisner has ' done so; and in this little volume he has hap- 1 pily prolonged his influence for good in the world. For sale by Taylor $ Maury, Pennsylvania avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets.

A young and accom plished lady. Miss Charlotte Vail, cut her throat ttom ear to ear at Brooklyn, New York, the other day. Poor thing; how foolish she was. This thiag of cutting one's throat, or an old - acquaintance, or a worthy lover, is a serious natter, and therefore worthy of cool reflection. Whenever such thoughts occur to ns we take a to sonsider them. We have often escaped f dangers by remembering this rule; and When we bars forgotten it we have had occasion to repeat the forgetfolness. Persons who medi tate saioide, or who despair of success in any parsnip should wait a day before finally deter mining. However prosy Otis may appear, it is soaadly pbiloeepMoal, and will be so proven to aB who ffrs H attention. 1 Th* H?m Atom The news by the Pacific is to the 8d instant, troui Liverpool; by the Europa to the 6th. Of that by the Pacific, tbe principal features are ilie triumphs of American mechanical invention and ingenuity of tho Great Fair, and tbe good feeling which enlightened Englishmen evince at tbe intellectual achievements of their ?' trans atlantic cousins," as the Timet calls them. It is very pleasant to observe tbe good grace with which many, even of the higher ranks of Eng land, receive these evidences of tbe mental power and great mechanical resources of tbe (Juited States. Every true philanthropist and patriot will rejoice to witness %Qts and deport ment calculated to produce enduring peace be tween these two countries. Let the public opinion of Great Britain frown down the mission of those agitators who apne from her shores, or assemble within her borders, to meddle with a subject with which thoy have no special con cern, and which they may safely leave to our own management. Should a course so judicious be pursued, entire confidence may be established between the two nations, to the unspeakable advantage of each; without this, such confi dence on our part is impossible. The London Timet notices in the following very agreeable manner our progress from a nearly minimum position of respect, at the com mencement of the Exhibition, to one which, six weeks before the finale, takes rank with the foremost of the nations whose skill, works, and mental faculties generally have been tested jn the magnificent exhibition of the Crystal Pal ace : [Prom the London Times of Stpt. 2.] Taking all things together, British and Amer icans have run a pretty fair tie through the trials of this wonderful season. The sprinir it must be confessed, opened ill for Brother Jon athan, and for a good while in the race we kept well ahead. We had our great Exhibition? a real new " smart" speculation, which did not turn out a failure, which exceeded everybody's hopes, and which brought about no revolutions iV nnn nnn a* ?aIculated ^ttat we should realize ^AUW.UUU, whereas we have got over $2,100, before ua" **** m?ment' ^ six 8ood weeks On the other hand, it is beyond aU denial e,ery Poetical success of the season be longs to the Americans. Their consignments "h.0n7ed P??r1^ at.fir8t> but came out will upon IS- J r1eaP,D? machine has carried con viction to the heart of the British agriculturist. Their revolvers threaten to revolutionize mili tary tactics as completely as the original dis covery of gunpowder. Their yacht takes a class to itself. Of all the victories ever won, none has been so transcendent as that of the New York schooner. The accounts given of her performances suggest the inapproachable exoeUence attributed to Jupiter by tbe ancient poets, who describe the king of the gods as be ing not only supreme, but having none other ^vLrbml; "Zhat'8?r8t?" "The America" Whats second?" "Nothing." Besides thi? -rof Col,in,' u??of -Xt; th?Atlantio "Tn7 yet known acrofl3 me AUantic, and, according to tbe American journals, has been purchased by British agents or the purpose of towing the Cunard vessels from one shore of the ocean to the other." ? course this, if really said by any American journal, was uttered as a joke.] * inally, as if to crown the triumphs of the ! It**- ,^mencan8 have (actually sailed throueh the isthmus, connecting tho two continents of the New World; and while Englishmen have d0.ubtln? and grudging, Yankees have stepped in and won the day. So we think, on the whole,' that we may afford ?.hands and exchange congratulations, after which we must learn as much frum each other as we can. As for yachts, we have no doubt that by next August every vessel of the Lowes squadron will be trimmed to the verv image of the "America;" there is no doubt , our farmers will reap by machinery ; and I the revolver, we fear, is too attractive an em bodiment of personal power to be overlooked by Luropean mischief-makers. Lopes. " w'T**""doth neTer prosper?what', the reumn? hen " onofi prosper* 'tis no longer treason!" The above couplet has been quoted by-a con temporary who wants to know, if Lopez and hia men had been successful, whether they would not have been good fellows and patriots instead of pirates and traitors ? We have never been enamored of the military character of Lopez, eays the Pmntylvanxan, \ though his courage can scarcely be doubted. ! But be is defeated and dead ; and how soon tbe censorious read bis faults in his failure. " Lo pez deserved his fate," says the New York Ez prett. Poor fellow! be was not the winner in the game; and is it not somewhere written of fashionable morals, that "it is not a sin to gam ble, but it is a grievous sin to lose ?" What a wondrous alchemist is success. How it changes those whom the world would call robbers into genuine heroes ! how it stifles the compunctions of tender consciences! how it convinces the contumacious! Suppose Lopez had been a victor instead of a victim?what then? Tho metropolitan press would have hailed in him a new C'ortez; France would have compared him to Napoleon; and America, to Lafayette; and all would have been forgiven by a pleased and flat tered public. He has fallen ; and so low, that there are none to do him justice. Let us all abuse Lopes. "He deserved his fate!" He should have been drawn and quartered; his body burnt, and the ashes strewn in the wind. What right had he to go to Cuba to punish the Castihan cut-throats?and fail f ?< He deserved his fate!"

To the Editors of ika American Telegraph. Oidtuhiii: Your corresponding "Com mentator," doe* well, so far m be goes, in ?howing up the famous Gardiner oaae, and' the doings of the principal actors in it; but, upon that subject, " Muob jet renukioj unjuag." Is it not an unprecedented and unheard-of act for the President of the United States to interpose his dictum between the law and a person indicted for obtaining a vast sum of money out of the United States Treasury, by fraud and perjury, and authorizing a portion of the money alleged to have been thus obtained, ufter it had been caveated, or attached, by the Government, to be used and set aside for the bail of the individual thus indicted. Why did President Fillmore do this thing! Is not the power thus exercised by him a uturped power! What right had he to inter pose his prerogative to change the usual cur rent of the law, and pledge himself in advance to provide bail for the person indicted for a heinous criminal offence! Does not the law require that a person arraigned before a court, for obtaining money by fraud and peijury! shall give bail in twice the amount of the sum he is charged with having thus fraudulently obtained! The charge of the indictment against Dr. Gardiner is that he has, by fraud and peijury, obtained $428,760 out of the people's treasury, which he was not entitled to. President Fill more tries, at first, to be very indignnat about the matter, and hunts up and causM to be caveated some $40,000 of the award deposited with Corcoran and Riggs, and also, as it is pro claimed, some $130,000 of the same award de posited with the Lite Insurance and Trust Com pany of New York. These two sums, if they both exist, as the depositee of Dr. Gardiner, amount to $170,000 only. And this is all of the award of $428,750 that the Government is sure of getting back, should the Gardiner Claim prove to have been a fraud. In this stage of proceedings, the President of the United States steps forward and declares that enough of the deposited proceeds of the award to bail Dr. Gardiner shall be released from tho caveat, and set off to secure the gen tleman going bail for the person indicted. What sort of an unheard-of proceeding is this ! Why did not the President institute rigid in quiry to ascertain where the remainder of the award had gone! Why did he not interpose his prerogative to ascertain how much of the award had been paid out of the Treasury to each of the counsel, attorneys, and agents of Dr. Gardiner! Why did he not ascertain whe ther said counsel, attorneys, and agents, were not afraid to trust Dr. Gardiner with the whole award from the Treasury, but took the precau tion to first get each a power of attorney from him to draw their fees and interest directly from the Treasury ! Why did be not interpose his prerogative to have those large sums of the award raised by the oounsel, attorneys, and agents of Dr. Gardiner, caveated, as well as the smaller amount which fell to the share of the principal ? If the whole award was ob tained by fraud and peijury, then was it not the President's duty to seek to caveat all parts of it, as well as the small part whioh fell to the lot of Dr. Gardiner ! Why did he not caveat the part received by Thomas Corwin, his Secre ***/ a,Lth^Trcafiur-5r' whether it was nominally only $80,000, or in reality more than $120,000? Why did he not caveat the part received by General Waddy Thompson, who purchased a likely gang of some forty-nine negroes in Mary land and took them to 8outh Carolina ? Why did he not caveat the parts received by Mr. Robert Corwin, Major Lally, Edward Cur tis, and such others as were recipients of parts of the award ! In fiDe, why did he not leave it with the well paid counsel, attorneys, and agents to bail Dr. Gardiner, or not, as their consciences and their purses might dictate ? But no, Mr. President Fillmore must needs step m and furnish bail for Dr. Gardiner, by his own act, and out of the small portion of the great award which bad been secured by caveat. It tetu "a humane arrangement"?humane to wards all who had shared in the award. 0. P. Q. . Thi Murder or Youho Mundkll.?Our ac-1 count of this distressing incident, yesterday, was written before the result of the inquest was known, and before the facts had been fully and accurately developed. We therefore avail ourselves of the later and more authentic state ment given by the Intelligencer. The murdered boy is by every one spoken of as a most exem plary, handsome, and generous youth, and his j death is much lamented. Tho Jntelligeneer says: I " It appears that a party, consisting of three i men and two boys, all attached to the Marine garrison, proceeded on a gunning excursion. There were but three guns. William Wells, a private in the Marine corps, was extremely de sirous to obtain from Samuel Mundell, the de ceased, his fowling-piece, which was repeatedly refused. On their arrival at the grounds of Mr. Atchinson, an altercation ensued between Wells and young Mundell, during which the latter raised his gun in a menacing position, when Wells sprung towards him, seized the piece with one baud, raised it as if he intended to knock the boy down, then fell back a short distance, cocked it, took deliberate aim and fired, lodging the contents of the gun in the left side of young Mundell's neck, breaking the collar-bone, severing the arteries, and cutting the windpipe in two. The boy died instantly. "Yesterday morning Mr. Woodward, tho coroner, held an inquest, which resulted in the rendition of the following ^rdict: 'That the said Samuel Mundell, aged fourteen years, came to his death by a gun-shot wound in the ' left shoulder, fired from a gun in the hands of ' William Wells, a marine, on the evening of ' Wednesday, September 17, 1861 ; the said ? Wells having fired at the said Mundell whilst ? under the influence of passion ; the said gun ? being wrested from the hands of said Mundell ' bj Wells previous to his firing.' " Dsath at th* Railroad Statioh A coro ner's inquest was held last evening, at the freight offioe, over the body of Washington Lewis, aged about forty years, whose residence was at Beltsville, in Prince George's county, Maryland. It appeared from the testimony of witnesses that, after the locomotive, attached to which wore the baggage and freight cars, had started, at five o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of connecting with the passenger cars, the deceased ran with a view of getting on the front of the baggage oar. He succeeded in grasping the railing, and apparently placed one foot on the steps, when he slipped and was dragged between the cars. Three wheels had assed over him, and the fourth was resting on is body, when, an alarm being given, the cars were stopped; and this was effected as soon as possible. The jury believe that he thus came to his death, and that no blame is attached to any one connected with tho cars. The man was nearly cut in two, and one leg entirely separated from his body. Even several articles of hardware, suoh as chisels, in his pockets, were broken into fragments. It was given in evidence that he was a steady and industrious man, had a family. wm a miller and blacksmith, and had been on a ?liil to tht rflj u> make purcham>??/UtnMic. The PuiiDwrr reached Boston on the morn ing of Vfeduoeday, and *u received by the authorities and the people of the city of Boston, and the vast crowd of ths Tinnertt from the in terior of Msssachueetts sad from other States, in a manner which we shall to-morrow have the pleasure of giving our readers an aooount of. Hs was accompanied from this city, as our readers know, by Mr. Secretary Cok ral> aud Mr. Secretary Stuaet, who have doubtless had their share of the hearty welcome extended to the President.?Intelligencer. Death or Rev. Levi R. Rkkbe.?The Balti more Argut of yesterday bad just learned that this distinguished minister of the Methodist Protestant Church died, after a short illness, at five o'olock yesterday morning, on the Eastern shore of Maryland, whither he had gone on a visit. Mr. Reese had the honor of being selected at several sessions as one of the Congressional Chaplains. He wns twice eleoted President of the Maryland Conference, and in every station to which he was called he brought with him a mind well stored with practical knowledge, and a firm determination to discharge the duties imposed upon him with fidelity to those by whom he hod been selected. Europe.?Austria, says a New York paper, by the advances of the Emperor to absolutism of the most barbarous sort, is rapidly drifting onward to another revolution. France is but a smouldering heap of combustibles; a spark at any day may ignite the whole mass, and set Europe again in a blaze. The condition of Switzerland and Italy, all Italy, is revolutionary; and, in fact, the Emperor Nicholas is wise in his preparations for a European war. The Sul tan has resolved finally, and Kossuth is doubt less now free. We shall, with the next arrival, expect intelligence still more pointed and im portant. The reaction, if we mistake not, has actually commenced. Europe is only waiting for Franoe. Crime in New Orleans.?The Now Orleans papers, of the 8th instant, chronicle the mur der in a coffee-house of a fireman named Michael O'Brien; the stabbing of a police officer in three places; the highway robbery and probably fa tal stabbing of a man named David Woods; the biting a man's ear off; and numerous other offences of greater or less enormity.
