Public School Exhiiitio*.?Yeterdav after noon, the weather being very unfavorable, and showers of frequent occurrence, Ibe exhibition of the pnbllc schoolsof the Fourth District (Inland) was not so attractive aa would otherwise have l<een tbe case. Very many of the scholar* dkl not participate in the ceremonies. Yet, notwith standing these unfortunate circumstances, tbe affair was highly creditable to the teachers and arbola*a ?f tbe seveial schools; for those wbo did particlps'e evinced a trnly praisworthv devotion to tbe schools they represented. The several primary schools met at tbelr re spectlve houses, and marched to tbe dlFtrlct school bouse on Sixth street, near Virginia ave nue. There they were joined by tbe acboiara of that school, and formed into a procession in the following order, vix: Fomth District School, male department, John K Thompson, Teacher; female department, Margaret A. Milburn, Teacher; primary No 1, senior department, Annie M- Adams, Teacher; junior department, Mrs. M. E. Martin, Teacher; primary No 2, Mary A. Lee, Teacher; primary No. 3, Mrs M A Skidmore, Teacher; primary No. 4, Emma L. Reed, Teacher; male primary, Mr. A Edson. Teacher. The procession moved up Sixth street to D, along D to Tenth, and up Tenth to the Smith sonian, where they entered and proceeded to tbe lecture-room. A band of music (prosper!**) was to have accompanied the piocession,but. because it had proved so rainy, they supposed the eere monv would be postponed, end did not come, or even send to ascertain if their J^rvices were required They were sent after, however, and arrived In time to discourse some line music to the audiencc after it had assembled in the lecture room. The exercises at the Smithsonian were ?? follows: Chant?" I will lift up mine eyes to the hills." by the female department of the fourth district school. Tbe annual address was then delivered by the Rev. (J H Hill, and was a gem of the occasion. Tbe language was plain and easily understood, the illustrations practical, and the burthen of the address most happily apposite. He first pre sented to the scholars clearly and forcibly the reason why their education Is an object of so much solicitude with their parents, friend.*, and the community generally, that these stop not at trouble or expense to provide for it. The motive to give them opportunities to acquire knowledge does not arise from any good that is to enure to their parents, to the community, or to themselves, from their ]>osses?lon cf that particular knowl edge. For instance, It is not to be expected that any benefit will arise from these boys and girls knowing the locality of any strait, island, or other place designated in geography. Tbe Intention of all this is to awaken thought to lead them to a proper exercise of tbos? mental faculties with which they are gifted by their Crta'or, and enable them to occupy places of usefulness in the world in mature life. He urged upon their attention the necessity of developing their minds in early life, thus forming Intellectual habits, instead of such as tend to degrade and ruin those who contract them After giving a great deal more good advice to the children. Mr. Hail reminded the parents that ? hey had also a duty to nerfoiin. " Kuowledgt* is jK)wer,'! he admitted, out power In the lianas of i>ad men is not calo*lated to benefit the world. I'll* children should also be taught tbelr moral ard religious obligations, and these it is tbe parents duty to teach They cannot divest them selves of the )>erformance of this duty neither, nor delegate it to anylx>dy else. This theine was dwelt u|K>n at considerable length, and very earnestly The scholars of Primary School No 1 sang a beautiful song, and aiquitted themselves very handsomely Ueo J. Abbott, E?q., a firm friend of public education, and formerly, we believe, connected with our public schools, w??s then introduced. He ji-k d to l?e excused from making a speech, but l?f.ne resuming his scat delivered just such an harangue as the occasion required. It was an carntst, readily understood, and appr prtate ap peal to tbe scholars to make good use of their present opportunities for acquiring good educa tions. He introduced several fitting auecdo'es, which, together with the other portious of his remarks, were well received. The scholars of Primary School No. *2 then tri a'ed the auditors with a song, very well sung Tbe following recitations were then delivered by those scholars of the District School /Mr. Thompson's) whose names are annexed All of tbe in performed so well that to decide which ex celled would be a very difficult matter: Tubal Cain, by P \V . Pearson. Duties of American Citizens, by John W. Clute American Flag, by Samuel Polkinhorn. Kitten tiossip, by James E Ager. Importance of the Union, by Samuel A. Amery. The premiums (according to the list published in the Star yesterday) were then distributed to ? he scholars by J. I* Berret, E?q ., Mayor, wbo Af'er all the premiums were piesentrd to the scholars. Mayor Berret, on behalf of the scholars of the Female Department of the Fourth District fchool, presented the teacher then of (Miss M A. Milbuin) with a handsome work-box The p eseiit was received by Col Randolph, on behalf tf Miss M .who replod to the very happy im promptu speech of the Mayor, in one equally suited to the occasion. Mr. Abbott, in behalf of the teachcr of the District school, male department, (Vir. Thomp son.) presented Samuel A. Amery with a book as an award for having, according to Mr. A-'s de cision, excelled in tbe delivery of recitations mentioned above I).m tor Willett, on Iwhalf of '? a filend of the school" presented a premium to Je?i?e Cook, for iriain'aining a high position in his class (first) In the same school, though absent as a page at the Capitol during tbe session of Congress. At the reqi:e?t of the teacher of this school we aUo insert tbe following : ' In the competition for the*mednl the teacher ststes P. W. Pearson, Nelson J Isdell, and Sain 'iel A Amery to Lave been ?qimllv meritorious during the p**'. scholastic year, ana, did the rule permit, each would rec eive this mark of highest approbation. The medal is awarded to l's.irion on account'of bis praiseworthy attention to his duties during tbe longest period of time, having entered the school pievious to either of his com petitors." ?? AusEsr fox Shootirg.?Robert Dudley was arrested yesterday by Lieut. Mcllenry, and offi cers Chiplev and Lloyd, under a bench warrant, for shooting John Biowers, a special officer un der Mayor Magruder, white iu the discharge of his duty. Yesterday, after Dudley had gone to jail, a commitment was filed against lain in an other c=??e, winch occurred on Monday ntghr, in the Fif h Ward Tlieevidence was as follows: Charles C. F.dtlin testified that he was called Into Juenemann's to protect the house against a crowd, of which Dudley was one; W. Drury was with me; Dudley went up to Drnry and kickcd him; Mr Harper, auxiliary guard,caught Dudley; 1 went away with Drury for fear of con sequences; altout three squares otf, Dudley and bin crowd followed again and made at Drury; I caught Dudley bv the arm and told Drury to run. ss I ?aw Dudley taking a pistol out; Drury ran, and Dndley fired at him and missed him, the ball passing between Mr. Hanson Brown and bis wife, wbo were sitting on their porch near by at the time If the Court takes bail in tbe Browers case, a further hearing in the last ca>e will lit had The Foceth Wako Election?A mistake, yesie.day, prevented the appearance in our col umns of the returns from the election held in tbe Fourth Ward, on Monday, to fill a vacancy In the Board of Aldermen occasioned by the resig nation of Juhn H.

They were accompanied by Withers hue bia?s band, which discoursed mo*t excellent music on tbe route. The move ments of "the corps Indicated that it bad lost nothing in point of drill, and It was remarked that a strong company of infantry as well trained as the corps mi par;?te would b? no discredit to the city. The ranks of the Guard are about in creasiug and we hope to **e them a"?1n with full ranks, and as well drilled as at present. A Y exo Crowd.?Yesterday, the police of ficer* of the Fourth Ward were called upon to arrest a half dozen little fellows, who were charged by Mr. W. Marshall with behaving badly, and throwing stones at him as ho sat In tbe door of bis house The least of the offending party, a small colored boy, appearsd to tie the most offensive of tbe gang. Arrayed for trial at the police office yesterday afternoon, one could not help but condemn the policy of Introducing them to a court at such an early age, (the oldest was probably fifteen and the youngest about seven,) and several quietly suggested tbe pro priety of switching such children without In troducing them to a court, which seldom has Its desired effect oa such young beginners. Mousy Recovered?On Monday, a colored woman, nam?d Hall, was arrested by officers Not wood and Handy, for stealing S50 in money from the residence of F. Jefferson, Esq. She was taken to the house to be searched on the premises, but no money was found upon her. She was told site would have to go to jail for a further bearing She seemed to be alarmed, and requested ta lie allowed to go in the garden She went, and was watched. She was Ukeu to the office of Justice Donn, and, while there, tbe fimily sent word that the money had been found in the gardeu.

Thompson | The Meeting at the Asifmbly Rooms, <ast night, was thinly attended, and utterly failed to produce an impression favorable to a reorganiza tion of the District militia. The Light Infantry and National Guards were well represented, and various proposals were made as to ways and means, which were not received with much warmtn by the audience. Addresses were made by Capts. Tait and Davis, Lieut. Lloyd and others It was proposed that such of the au dience present as felt disponed should come for ward and enroll themselves as memliers of a new regiment; but there was no response. It was then proponed to endeavor to get up a sufficient num t>er of signers to fonn two companies of the In fantry aad two of the Guards, to uniform alike and parade as a battalion; thus forming a nucleus around which to bring a'oont an organization worthy the metropolis of the country. This project filled to produce a favorable sensation, and left but on* impression on the minds of those who had tha matter moat deeply at heart?that of utter failure on tha part of the citizens to second any movement for the Improvement of the mili tary organization of tbe District When our regiment parades the citizens deride and utter harsh words about the apparent lack of military ardor among the people. When these same In dividuals are Invited to assist in any measure to abate this state of military apathy, they " haven't lime to play soldier." When they are aaked to put their hands in their pockets for the support of the military they complain of the beggarly spirit that pervades tbe military. Rapid &1pi.tipmcatioh.?We learn that Mra.
