Psockepincs oF THE City Councits, Jan. 16, 1662.— Board of Aldermen.— At an adjourned meeting of the board iast evening, a communica- tion was received from the Mayor, transmitting a letter from Rev. G. W. Samson (President of Co- lumbian College) in relation to the use of Trinity church, on Fifth street, as a livery stable, saying he would co-operate to prevent the building being used for such a purpese. Mr. Fisher, from finance committee, to which was referred the communication of Mr. Hay in relation to the purchase of the interest of this cor- poration in the Washington and Alexandria rail- road, said the committee had received official notice that the Government had taken possession of the road, for the purpose of rebuilding !t; and the committee, under the circumstances, recom- mended that no action be taken by the board. Mr. Wendell said that Mr. Hay desired through his counsel, Mr Stewart, who was present, to make an explanation to the board, and be (Mr. 'W.) made a motion to that effect. The Govern- ment bas taken possession of the road, and is building it at the instanee of, and in conjunction with, creditors Mr. Moore opposed the motion, and said the Proper course would be for Mr. Hay to communi- cate with the board in writing. Mr. Brodhead thought unless there was some doubt «f the fact thet the Government had taken possession of thé road there was no farther action to be taken by this board. Mr. Moore was surprised at any intimation of doubt in the correctness of the information re- ceived by the committee Mr. Wendell reiterated bis statement that he had no doubt it would be found that the work ‘was being done by the Governmentat the iustance of the creditors The citv had no claim, and — gain nothing in the matter except a law- ‘sal i Mr. Moore said this Corporation had the first claim on the road, and he entered at some length into the bistory of the matter. Let Mr. Hay put bis views in writing so thatall might see what — ‘were—citizens as well as members of the rd Mr. Bayly thought Mr. Hay ought to commu- nicate with the board in writing, if he wanted Me oom rred in the of th r. Lloyd concu: n the report of the com- mittee, but would like to hear what Mr. Hay had to say in the matter. Mr. Richards opposed the motion Mr Fisher thought the board ought to hear Mr. Hay through bis counsel. Mr. Lloyd again advocated the motion. The —- ‘was taken, when the motion was lost by following vote: ewe Brown, Fisher, Lioyd and Wen- Nays— Messrs. Bobrer, Bayly, Brodhead, Moore, Richards and Semmes—6. Mr. Wendell stated that the finance committee bad consulted the Corporation Attorney = Bradley) on the subject, and had received from that officer an answer in writing, which was read, Seosee ne ee = =~ iL obstacle pro) r. Hay to indemnify the tion for the future and to become. the .” He (Mr. B.) goes on to re- capitulate the history of the ion’* connec- tion with the road, and concludes: ‘I am inclined to think it fair, if not a liberal offer by which the Corporation will be relieved from nearly one half of that debt.” The report of the finance committce was then unanimously. Anact making an fon for the com- pletion of the Central Guardhouse and pipe-yard, was taken up. Mr. Lloyd spoke of the contract being: exceed- ed by a large emount, while the Corporation bad a superintending architect. He wished to know ‘who wes to blame ia the matter Mr Fisher characterized the whole thing as a swindle. The amount for building the guard- house was exceeded by three or four thousand dollars, and it took three years, instead of six months to build it. He (Mr. F.) entered at some length Into the bistory of the building and its surroundings in support of his statements Mr. Moore defended bimseif and the commit- tee. The amount of excess on the building was $2,374, the rest of the excess was mostly for heat- ing and Tightine, &c.,—matters outside of the contract. Mr. Moore spoke at considerable length in reference to the accounts submitted to the com- mittee, and the facts elicited during the investi- gation of the subject by the committee. Mr. Lioyd would be es to see tried by some other tribunal, and spoke of the expenditure was clearly { Mr. Richards sald be inquired and w: informed on authority that the amount the build: ‘was very reasonable. Mr said no one im; the contractors.

He had five children, of whom only one could attend school; so that the remaining ir had nothing to do but ‘wander about the streets, as there was no chance for them to get into the school at all Mr. Callan hoped the bill would be laid over, as there were a number of members absent, and it was necessary that all should have an opportunity of voting upon it. Mr. Murtagh urged the immediate e of the bill. Those gentlemen absent knew that the bill was coming up, and ay understood it, and had any of them entertai an objection to it they would doubtless have been present. r. believed that no capable man could be secured for less than $1.500. The bill provided that the superintendent should take charge of ail the schools in the city, and a man ees for that position was worth more than paltry sum of $1,500. Fifty men could be found in elty who would take it for $300. One man had already called upon him and desired to file an application. Our present system is old fogyish—behind the times—and needs reform. We have no high schools, but keep our schools in barns and cellars; and the whole system is con- stantly running down.

A _FigHT WITH THE MgTRoPoLITaNs.—On Wednesday night, the females in the ‘* fancy’? estsblishment on Sixth street, pear Pennsylva- nia avenue, known as *‘ Sarah Austin’s,’ roused the neighborhood by their calls for the police. They were promptly answered by the Fourth Ward patrolmen, who soon entered the house to quiet things there They first tried ua. sion, with {some rowdy parties who were kick- ing up a muss inside, but this did not work. One of the disorderly parties took a glass tumbler and struck Patrolman Thompson, severely cutling bis nose and knocking bim down. recovered and seized his assailant, and Patrolmen McColgan and Essex went to his aid. McColgan was struck with another tumbler, cutting his face and discoloring his eyes; and Essex was also knocked about the room. Finding they bad to fight, the police began to use theirstaffs, and the game of shillelah soon turned the score to their advantage. McColgan, in bringing a prisoner down the steps, slipped and spentucdl his ankle, but secured bis man, and Thompson, with Essex and bis partner, secured another very turbulent one. They were brought out for trial yesterday morning, and gave their names as Geo. Kerrigan and James Barclay. Justice Walter, after hear- ing the evidence, fined each $5 94 for disorderly conduct. This sum was readily paid by them, and one was turning to leave, but the Justice said “Stop! I have not done with you. Each of you must give bail to appear at court for assau't and battery with intent to kill the police ”’ They said they could give the bail; in the meantime ‘were committed to jail, to be released when their bondsmen were accepted. Frac Parsentation.—We learn that there will be a fiag presentation to the Tenth Legion, 56th regiment (Col. Van Wyck’s) N.Y. $8.V., on Mon- day, Jan. 20, at2 o’clock p. m_, at their barracks; on Mount Pieasant, near the Columbian College. The banner is of regulation size, and of choice white silk. It bears in the center an eagle with outspread wings, in a defiant attitude, bearing in bis claws the American flag folded on its staff with a sprig of laurel and a branch of oak. The union of laurel and oak is typical of the mixed character of the volunteer service, composed as it is of citizen soldiers. Above the central figure is a red scroll bearing the inscription: ‘‘ Our name is a. »? Ona smaller ribbon of yellow, float- ing from the eagle’s benk, is the legend: “ Sub Hoc Signo Vinces’’ Below the central figure is a br scarlet scroll with the national motto: ‘“\ E Pluribus Unum.” All the ornamentation and design of this superb banner is in exquisite embroidery. The staff is of lance wood, self-adjusting, and plated with silver; the tip is a polished sil Spear head, from which are pendent scarlet tassels and cord. The tation speech will be made by Major Thos. Morton; the response by Colonel Van Wyck. President Lincoln and Cabinet will probably be In attendance This beautiful flag will be on exbibition until Monday morning, in the window of M. W.
