The President, Andrew H. Green, Esq., called the Board to order at the usual hour, and proceeded to de- liver his insegural address. Mr. Guxxy said that he bad abstained from any extended remarks at the last meeting, for the purpose of hasten ag the organ‘sation of the Board. He desired to renew his determination to perform the duties of the office efficient- ly, and in the pursuance of that object would call the attention of the Board to several important fac s. The population of the city, within the school age, is 125,000, The expense for supporting the schools last year was $017,653 32—ea sum larger than expended in any city in the Union for like purposes. In view of this burthen of taxation, it is ne- cossary that the affairs of this Board should be adminis- tered with faithfulness, watchfulness and economy. He alluded to the success of the Free Academy, and recommended attention to its welfare, and ex- pressed satisfaction at the working of the daily Nor- mal echool. The Saturday Normal schools and evening chools were also noticed, and their progress commended He thovgbt that the Department of Supplies might be more economically acminis'ered, and recommended a quarteriy audiang of tne accounts of the Board. He favored the compietion and repsi-ing of old schools in preierence to the erection of new ones. Toe separation of the sexes in different school buddings, , wns in many instances advisable. He several valu- able ruggestions as to alterations in the arrangements of ‘the hall ot the Board. He thought that a specifi: sum should be set apart at the commencement of the year for each of the more (portant purpeses, such as teachers’ ralasies, &c New York city supports her own schools, and peys part of the tax levy for the couatry schools; and he boyed that the recommendation of the Governor that a Beard cf Education should ve esablished in each town woult not prevail, as it would be a too fruitful source of expenditure. New York bad already done move than her share for the goneral welfare of the State, aud this measure would impose additional taxation.

ANOTHER DISTURBANCE AT LAPAYETTE HALL. On Surday night a disturbance took place in Lafayette Rail, Broadway, between Jim Irving and 2 man named Andrew Shehan, which, ifit had not been for the timely interference of the Eighth ward police, would, in all pro- bubility, have ended in an affray simflar to that which took place at Stanwix Hall some months ago, Irving, it eecms, was asked to fight by Shehan, but wy, cooll: declined the generous offer. Awar of words then fol- lowed, when both of the men squared off for a regular “rough and tumble.” At this moment Lieut.
