Itisto be regretted that the Comptroller has not only caused the esti ampaie of the Board to be returned under an allegation tbat it was in excess of the legal limit, but has also, in an official jeation to the Common Coune!! | a pomnind such re- ated that the Board of Education had overrun its legal nding tothe Board of Education, or to courtesy of a. request to explain the sed excess.” The Comptroller bas put himself in a post giving color to a clamor against the Board of Educa. tion, which is generally made by those who are ignorant of the extent and operation of the school system of this city and the details of its expenses.

By Frank Moore. 2 vols. Appleton & Co. ‘The compiler of these volumes is already favorably known to the public by his ‘Songs and Ballads of the Ame- rican Revolution”—a work of considerable merit and re search. The path of inquiry inte which that patriotic task led Mr. Moore, naturally conducted him into the fleld ‘of bis present labors. From the soul stirring lyrics which helped to inflame the martial ardor of our revolutionary soldiers he has passed,as @ matter of course, to the harangues of impassioned fire and eloquence which gave to the impulses thus excited a steady and permanent direction, and which, when the battle of inde- pendence was ended, helped to consolidate and mature the fruits of victory. In rescuing from oblivion, and col- lecting from the thousand sources over which they are scattered, these revolutionary relics and traditions—for some of these speeches have vo claim te a higher authen- ticity—Mr. Moore has rendered an inestimable service to our political history. He bas placed within the reach of those who will follow him in the field of historical inquiry 8 large collection of facts which might bave been lost sight of but for his labors. As a literary gleaner of unwearied pa- tience and industry, we know no man who is entitled to more credit than Mr. Mbore; and his claim to this merit will be the less liable to be contested, seeing the mo- desty of his pretensions and his evident contempt for the shifts and devices of mere authorcraft. There is another feature in these volumes which en- hances their value. The biographies that preface the specimens of the early revolutionary orators are careful- ly compiled, many of them from sources entirely original, and which had not previously been explored. Consider- ing how deficient we are in this branch of national litera- ture, the contributions thus incidentally made to it have a timely importance. They will assist the labors of our en- cyclopdists, who do not seem disposed to bestow over much trouble on the acquisition of their materials. It is a fact, and a discreditable one, that, abundant and accessi- ble as are the sources of information for American biography, there is no department of our literature more carelessly or inadequately represented. Either there is no patronage for publications of this class, or publishers do not care to pay the sums necessary to secure works of sufficient merit to force their own way. The illustrations to Mr. Moore’s work are of a very superior character, most of the portraits being copied from rare originals, and all finely engraved. A carefully compiled index facilitates reference to its contents, and renders it a ready nid to the student of American history. ABRIDGEMENT OF THE DgsATES IN CONGRESS, FROM 1789 To 1856.

Yesterday, 26th of November, 15°", I re- pois letters from home, containing an affiday't of the directors of the Bank of Pennsylvania, in which they state that I was an absconding debtor, and'that I owe ihe bauk over $200,000. As to the first, ft is 80 notoriously avirue ‘that it was known to all of them that I was leaving home from ill health; it was published in the daily new. papers that I was to go; and several persons who have signed that affidavit were at my house the night before [ started, and several of them met meat the boat on leaving. Icer- tainly did not abscond. My wife and daughter were with me. One absconding would not be likely to take two la- dies with him. “As to the second, I left home without the least thought or idea of being indebted to the bank in any way. I gave a power of attorney to Hon. N. B. Browse and to Mr. F. Fell togell any - my estate to pay any moneys I m'ght ‘owe, or for the support of my family whikt I was absent.

As lama living man, ad they written tome that my presence was necessar' tomaid them, and that my reputation was at stake, I would, however ill, have gottsn home or died by the way.

AUSTIN ALLIBONE. Prntanmerara, Deo. 22, 1867 Police Intelligence. A Poucrwas iN AN Awkwarp Prepicament.—John H ‘Van Tassel, a policeman attached to the General Superin tendent’s office, in Broome street, was taken jnto custody on Tuesday night by policeman Macdougal, of the detec tive squad, om suspicion of having dishonestly obtained possession of @ number of tickets to the charity ball, which came off at the Academy of Music on the night be- fore mentioned. The accused, it is alleged, was seen to offer for sale ten of there tickets, for the sum of fifty cents each, whew the real value was two dollars apiece. Superintendent Tallmadge, on be wy of the occurrence, hed policeman Macdougal vo the residence of thé accused, in Fifty fourth street, with orders to arrest him. Macdougal arrived at Van Taasel’s howe about midnight, when he found the latter in bed and asleep. The slumberer was soon mate aware of the nature of his situation, and upon dreessing himself, Macdougal con veyed him to the headquarters of the police, in Broome street, and there detained him for examination.
