This more leg in the Common Pleas, Judge Allison de lives d the !Muni log opiuiun 'Ill.; petition of Mary A. cMauna, prays the showanco of a writ of mandolins, commanding the Controllers of the First School District of Pennsylvania to direct their proper officers to certify to the City Controller of the Gig, of Philadelphia her election and due wielifiaation as pa iucipal teacher of the -nand Vernon Boys' Grammar School. of the Third elea. don of the First School Distract, to which position she was elected by the Board of School Directors, of the afore said Third dottier, and that thu Controllens officially recognize her as P rinclpal Teacher of the said schooL The material allegations of the petition ore admitted by the Controller; no question is raised auto ' the fact of the due election of Mrs McManus. Her ~,educational cations were not only not denied, tad admitted to he be yond dispute. It is conceded Burt no other objection is made by the Contrellar to giving the required certificate, except that of the sex of the petitioner. It is first to he considered whether the as presented is one in which the relief sought can granted. It is elementary law, that a mandamus. though a pre• rogative writ, anti demandable of right, is justly said to be grantable at discretion. 1 liarrio 75-1 Jones lief. It is Lot exercised in favor of the applicant, unless some ittet and legal-purpose may be answered by it. It was intro duced to afford 'elle( In all cases in which the law has provided no 'specific remedy for a wrong, and . was iutended to prevent disorders from a t allure of justice. The law requires the petitioner to' establish a specific legal riithl, as well as the want of a specific legal rowed;,'. It is on of the well settled principles that a mandamta s will not lie where the law has given another ample remedy • coca ap plications are uniformly refuted where the party has another specific means of redress; I, Mendell, 3113: 1, Crow 417; 1 Peters, 137; as Binh. 2 0 32; S W. LMe; 1, Harris, 75. If, therefore, the applicant in this case has any other legal remedy for her alleged wrongs, this ap plication must of necessity be refused,. It was ably argued against the allowance of the writ to the petitioner that she had a complete means of relief by suit against the city, that it was not necessary for the Controlltte to certify her election to the City Controller, to enable her to obtain payment of her salary, as Prinel pal of the School, a o which she has been elected by the sectional Board, and of which she is now in charge, hat she could by suit against the city obtain the compensation to which she makes claim, if her right is by her election vitae lished, and that under the principle announced as govern log apilicatlinua of this kind, the prayer of this petition must be denied. But this assumes that the only object of the petitioner is to secure payment of the sum at $1.500, which is tiled as the compensation of a principal teacher of a Boys" Grammar School, an assumption not warranted by the acennenta and prayer of the petition. The petitioner also claims that she is entitled under the law, to have issued is her behalf the evidence of title to her office, which the law itself prescribes, when in the fourth section of the act of February 17, had% it directs the Hoard of Controllers to certify, to the City. Controller the name and grade of all persons, certified by the School Directors to the Controllers, who, afteethe paesage of the act, shall be elected to the position of teacher in the First school District. The petitioner also asks that the reepondents shall be required to acknowledge her proper standing as principal of a Boys' Grammar School. and grout to her all the rights and privileges to which she is thereby entitled. the right to the salary may be tested by suit against the city, but ouch suit would not compel the Controllers to le , sue the certificate of her election. The question was ar. gued on its merit/ and the Controllers ask a definite duct- Won, on it. After reciting the act of 1818, creating the Hoare, of Controllem. the Court decides that it la clear that as the matter now stands the Controllers are not in a position to invoke the act of 1818 in their refuel to cer tify the election of the petition's , . It is, however, o a the act of Feb. 17,1846, that the Controllers mainly depend. his act gives authority to the Board to establish a system for the examination of the quiz lift cations of all persons who may desire to become teachers. It forbids the elec tion of any one whole not found qualified for tho position, i. or unless he or she shall have received a certiheate of qualification, duly issued by tee Controllers after exeunt. nation. This act was wholly prospective in its operations. Acting on this authority, the Controllers have adopted a system of regulations for the examination of persons ap plying far cor.hicates of qualification to teach in the pub- Ilc schools. An examination of this entire system discloses nothing which prohibits the board of School Directors from elect ing a female to the position of Principal of a Boys' Gram. mar School. Tho Controllers have made no rule which would prevent the election of the petitioner. She was en titled to have her name and grade and office as a teacher in one of the public schools, certified to the City . Control. ler, which Wee doubtless done at the proper time. Kulo eleven makes eligible to election to the position of teacher general y, without having obtained a. certificate from the Controllers. The Controllers might have made a rule in regard to tae examinatim of all persona as to their qualifications as teachers in other :than the school to which they had been elected, but this they did not do. On the contrary they provided that the rules in regard to certificates of qualification should not apply to persons who were teachers on the 7th of Feb ruary. Via, and added "said teachers , may he promoted from time to title without being required to puss an ex amination," -', The case, as it now stands, shows that Mrs. McManus had- all the prescribed qualifications tor the position to which she hail been elected, and there was no rule to pre vent her being elected. The question whether the power of the Board of Controllem is 'sufficient to umbras° a regulation pruscribingthe sex of teachers is not presented by all that is now before us. To sustain the position of principal of a Boys' Grammareichool undoubtedly includes other qualifications than the mere possession of know ledge. It includes qualificatione moral and physicsl. as well as intellectual and acquired, and, beyo ad doubt, the ability to govern; to rule in such a way as to enforce die , cipline and maintain authority is an essential qualifica tion; to teach in a public school. I throw out these suggestions, because we hold that the Controllers may, for sufficient cause shown, in the absence of any rule, refuse a certificate of election. In the case of 'Mrs. McManus no such reason exists. Her entire fitness , wee conceded, and a generous testimony giVen to her morth as a woman and her ability as a teacher. ' This being coo ceded, we are of the opinion that no su ff icient reason has stn shown against granting the pray or of the petitioner, the Controllers had the power to make regulations hioh would have excluded .ber, they have not exercised it,and until they do so, that question cannot fairly arise. We think the certificate asked for ought to be issued. Edwin Booth, Abraham Kline, et. al. vs. Christ Evan. gelical Reformed Church, Samuel it. Giesy, William 11. Lambert, ekai..

SANDWICH ISLANDS, Terrible Volonic Eraption--Eauna Loa in Action-Two Thousand Earthquake Shocks in Twelve Days—Fearful Tidal Waves --Endre Villages Destroyed- - Bundred Lives Lost—The Greatest Eruption of diodern Rays. • ~ HONOLULU Hawaii, April 15, by way of San Francisco, HONOLULU , 8, 1868.—{The following is addi tional to the account upon our inside pages] The vole,ano is the well-known Manna Loa,and it has an elevation of 13,758 feet. On the 27th of March last the new eruption commenced, and bas continued np to the latest dates. For fifteen days the district Rona has been the centre of motion for the great eruption. A gigantic stream of molten lava is flowing from the summit of Manna Loa across the lands of Kakuka and Poakiai to the sea at Kaalnala landing. The slope and part of the summit of a mountain fifThen hundred feet high have been lifted up boldly by the earthquake and thrown over the tops of trees for a distance of over one thousand feet. At Wahoinee a creek has opened, extending from the sea. To as high as tbe eye can reach on the slope of Manna Lou the lava is from one to seven feet in width, and an eruption of moist . clay was thrown from the side of the mountain, between Lyman's and Richard son's, a distance of two miles and three-quarters, with a width of one mile, In the short space of three minutes. This terrible eruption over whelmed houses, persons and hundreds of ani mals, and scattered death and destruction wherever the clay fell. A column of smoke seven and four-fifths miles in altitude was thrown out of Mauna Loa, ob 4euring everything for miles around, save where the bright spiral pillars of fire flashed upwards from the month of the volcano. The sight was one of the grandest but most appalling ever wit nessed. During the severest shock of earthquake which took place on the 2d of April, no living creature seuld stand up for a moment. Immense bodies of earth were tossed about at great distances. Not one stone stands upon another as before in this district. Immense precipices have been leveled to the earth, and where the ground was formerly smooth and unbroken for miles around the earth has been rent asunder and upheaved, forming gigantic chasms and precipices. The entire topographical appearance of the country has been so completely changed that even those who have lived in the desolated dis trict all their lives cannot recognize it oy - point out localities with which they were formerly fa miliar. At the present moment the entire group of irlands is enveloped in a dense black smoke, and the indications are that Mauna Loa is still in ac tive volcanic eruption.: Additional Particulars of the Erup. non- Narrow Escape of Persons-Im. niense r low of Lava—The scene illottg. inhcons. HoNottmu, April 15, vLt SAN FRANCISCO. May 1868.--Since writing my last despatch farther intelligence has been received of the great vol canic eruption. A vessel has just -arrived from Hawaii, bringing later accounts of the lava flow and of the eruption in general. The first stream of lava broke out from the crater of Manna Loa, some two miles above the residence of Captain Robert Brown, and flowed directly towards it. It came down'the mountain side in a broad stream, several feet in depth, and traveled with such rapidity that the family in the house had barely time to escape, taking away with them nothing but their clothes. .The path which they took was perfectly free from lava; but ten minutes after they had left.it and reached a point of safety, the entire road was covered with the fiery stream. The lava pushed onwards to the sea, and drove ihe water back with such violence ,hat it be came agitated a nd convulsed, and huge waves relict' towards the ocean as if lashed to fury by a storm. The scene at the craters was appalling. Huge rocks were hurled from their mouths, accompa nied by streams of lava, hot and red, which attained an attitude of one thousand feet. When it fell it rushed down the mountain towards the sea at the rate of nearly ten miles per hour. The new crater which was formed on the 27th of March Is over two miles in circumference. It vomited recto and broad streams of liquid fire, which illuminated the night for an area of over fifty miles. The eruption still continues with unabated vi olence, and the scone is one of the most terribly grand that has been witnessed in modern, times. From the crater of Mauna Loa the huge column ~f smoke continues to ascend, hiding from view :he skies and dun& and enveloping the entire country in parti.-1 darkness. Every now and then thick streams of lava shoot upwards from the midst of the smoke, illuminating everything for few minutes. Hundreds of jets of flames burst from the lava and are thrown for a dis tance of a thousand feet. Shock after shock of earthquakes convulses the island, and ever and anon the low rumbling sound which breaks out rom amid the din and noise of the eruption in dicates where the earth has been violently torn asunder or where the summits of huge hills and mountains have been hurled from their places .nd sent rolling downwards to their base.

QUEEN'S Horst.. LONDON, May 8, I..M.—Three other special despatches have Just come to hand. They are dated thq 10th, 11th and 12th of April, but have been delayed two weeks in the trans mission, owing it is presumed, to the confusion incident to the fact of the sudden termination of the war which prevailed at the different points of reception and repetition along the route. The reports convey a very graphic picture of the great battle which took place between the British and Abyssinians on the 10th of April-- Good Friday—previous to the storming of M dela. As soon as the English advance came in view the Abyssinian enemy stood forth In grand array, as if in response to the sight. Thoodoras opened at once with his mortars on Napier. The British replied with the setae description of gun. The fire froodie defences having endured for a short time t e thousand nve hundred warriors, setting up lond shouts of Joy and revenge, and chanting national songs of (xitimpli, dashed with fgroat ardor down the steep hill from the palace ortress and charged 'the British' light .batteriets gallantl .

Aware of his heavy loss, Theodorue forwarded a flag of truce to General Na pier's headquarters, Inquiring on what terms the English would no. gotiate a peace. General Napier replied that, speaking in the name of the Queen, hie terms were merely and strictly an unconditional sur render. Theodorus, through his envoy, imme diately said ho would never accept such ar bitrary terms as that. seeing even his present defeat, he would prefer to fight to the end. In conclusion the King requested General Napier to take the British captives. whom he would band over to him, and "go away hence" when they had been all released. The King refused positively a surrender for himself, and the con ference was broken off. Magdala was, cones quettly, "stormed" by the English a few days, afterwards.

INl_Aucrous Airs< E F.-A man named Thomas Evans went to a house at Fifteenth and Ridge avenue and asked for something to eat. He was furnished with food and then desired lodgings. As he could fiot be given - a bed he was requested to leave. At this he took umbrage, and alter getting into the street he hurled a huge stone at some of the inmates of the house, Tao missiles smashed some of the windows. Evans was arrested. This morning he was taken oefore Ald. Pancoast and was held in $6OO bail to answer at court. A GOOD SUCOLSTION.— It has been suggested that the Harbor Police should be provided with a steam tug to patrol the Delaware river. The suggestion is a very good one and should meet with the early attention of the proper authori ties. The Harbor Police, under the coMmand of Lieut. Ben. Edger, have been the means of pre venting many depredations upon property along the river front, but the efficiency of the force would be greatly increased if a steam tug was provided. RIERSOWS ASSAIILT.—Pat. Mulligan wad before Alderman Pancoast, this morning, upon the charge of assault and battery. On Saturday night last he was' in a tavern at Twenty-fourth and Hare streets, and got into a difficulty with Michael Harding. During the wrangle which ensued Harding had his thigh broken.

He was taken to his home in Nicetown. bITROVEMENT.—The County Fire Insprane Company, on Fourth street, below2Chestnut, are now putting a handsome Albert stone front to their office, and the building will be surmounted by a Mansard roof, which will give it a very im posing appearance. REV. HERRICK. JOIINSOII, D. D., of Marquette, Michigan, arrived in the city this afternoon, and will occupy the pulpit of the Washington Square Church to-morrow morning. He has just ac cepted a unanimous call to become the pastor. GOATS CArTerucD.—During last week 22 stray coats were captured in tbo city. Of that number 12 were redeemed and the remainder wore sold. The long disputed question with the Sewing Machine fraternity, as to which is the best ma chine, has at last been definitely disposed of and set at rest by the unexpected appearance among them of that wonderful family machine, known as the "American Combination Button Hole and Sewing Machine." It at once carried off the palm without any ceremony about it, and left its competitors the question to settle among them selves at to which is the next best. In this secondary question the public will feel but little interest so long as they can be supplied with the "latest and best" and also the cheapest in the the market. Another gratifying circumstance connected with this master-plece of mechanism Is the fact that it is entirely the product of the inventive gettitts andmechanical skill of our own citizens. These machines are manufactured in the factory of the' company, Tvientleth and Washington avenue, and sold at their - room, bath west corner'of Etive4th:anil Chestnut streets, Phila• NO itmlrahottid fail to examine them WmvAstAtcren .

A DISTRESSING COMPLAINT.-I have been af flicted with Catarrh for many yoors. The dis charge from my nose and head was terrible. My sense of smelling had left me, and in fact, my whole system bad becomo so much impaired that I had about given np ail hope of recovery. I tried 01l manner of remedies and nothing helped me in tho slightest degree. I also 'Consulted with skillful physicians, and they pronounced my case as incurable. Hearing of DR. KEN NEDY'S "PERMANENT CORE FOR CATARRH," I procured a package, and in six weeks it entirely cured me of ibis horrible disease. H. L Itu - nutz, Auburn, N. Y. On the 7th day of November, 1867, personally appeared before me, Hiram I. Rublee, to me well known as a respectable citizen of the city of Auburn, and being by me duly sworn, says the foregoing statement *is true in every particular. HORACE T. COOK, Justice of the Peace, Auburn, N. Y. This remedy is sold by all druggists. Don is BARNES & Co, General Agents, 21 Park Row, New York. Effi The Academy Pictures. CARL SCIIUSSELE, 81. Mr. W. J. Horstmaan has permitted to be hung his large and interesting picture painted last year in France by this capa ble artist; it is found in the northeast room, beside the flamboyant "Last Gleam" of Mr. William Hart, from whose neighborhood its modest and sober excellence suffers a little. As the most important American genre painting on exhibition it deserves considerate attention. The interior and costumes appear to have been found among the environs of Strasbourg, whither the invalid painter has betaken himself in quest of health, and whore he unwillingly resides in what ho considers an exile. The headdress of the Lower Rhine, half German and half French, decorates the pretty head of the young mother with its great butterfly of two broad ribbons. She is offering something in a spoon to a sick girl in her lap, whose brother and sister ap proach to show their toys, while the gray grandsire comes up with an expression of rustic sympathy and concern. The curious German oven, plated with tiles and reaching to the ceiling, where it is embraced by a pendant clothes-horse, has before it a settle, on which a cat (too big in the picture) is lying. Beneath the mirror, and beside the old man's pipe, hangs a wreath, which seems to tell of 6chool-trinmpbs recently received by somebody in the family. Our suspicions alight promptly on the "Sick Pet," with her weazened and preco cious face, and we detect that she has over studied herself. Mr. Schnssele's style has changed since he went to France, and for the better. Always a hard student, and a draughtsman with hardly an American equal, there used to be a heaviness and inertia about his figures that were depress ing, and, in some of his attempted lighter sato , jects, ridiculous. A beefy kind of flesh, a square, tad, Germanesque character of face, and a look of practical prose that would have been excessive in a portrait of Franklin, gave to his sentimental conceptions an air of sagacity that was disillu-• sionatirg, and provoked amusement when he attempted ideal scenes. His figures had some what of a family likeness. At the same time they were so firm, so round, so solidly modeled in a system of large and simple facets, that there was always something in them to gratify the artistic sense. They were like granite forms, somewhat roughly hewn by a master hand. He has now learned, and very readily too, to throw around this scholarly knowledge the re tiring quality of nature; he has improved in the art of concealing art, and his picture shows an interesting advance in the way of depth and rich ness. He has studied abroad, with the cultivated intelligence of an able painter; in the Louvre and the Luxembourg he has renewed his youthful acquaintance with the old masters of • genre, with Terhurg and Gerard Dow, and scrutinized the masterpieces of Frese and Boyer, of Ecouen; at the Great Exposition he has examined the beautiful domes tic scenes of Israels, of Amsterdam, the perfect "Invalide," and other works of Miami, of Wies baden, and amono - h the Parisians, the exquisite pastoral subjects of Millet and Jules Breton. Into the present picture ho has imported qualities culled from many fields of art, and left behind him, with great advantage, the schoolboy dog matism that used to appear sometimes in his in- Astarte° on a line, or his preparation for a strong relief. In the "Sick Pet," all is continuous and harmonious. The figures lose themselves In shadow, advance into a tempered light, take re flections from neighboring hues, conneet their colors and illuminations in a harmonious bouquet, very muck as in those happy accidental combi nations of nature before which the artist feels ,himself arrested sometimes, with the instinctive words, "What a capital effect!" The woman's face, gracefully inclined, takes a warm transpa rent shadow that comes in charmingly under-the rich tone of her coiffure. The child's pale race, though not quite felicitous in type, forms a beatiful centre of light for the composi tion; and the quiet way in which her attitude is expressed beneath her garments shows ail thee old mastery of • drawing of Sehussele's more healthiul and hopeful days. Until we can wel come him back bodily among us, and nurse him and make much of him as the moat genial and in structive of our native draughtsmen, it gives us great pleasure to take his hand thus in the form of his handiwork, and to see how completely bodily ills may be antidoted by the sane and ra diant mind that masters them.
