The regular rtwoting place of tho Hoard is lnrvmiln'ied with text-books and school supplies. Mr. President JShirpen was in. tho chair. Conimunicatioiii from different 6ection3 Were received. From the, First Section, reiterating that the school buildings there erecting are not in accordance with the published plans, and are unsafe. A motion was made to refer this to the Committee on Property, to whom a similar statement was' referred hist month. An amendment was made to receive the resolu tion, and lift from the sectional authorities all further responsibility in tho matter. Mr. Shippcn said lie spoke by personal knowledge, when he said that the new houses were not according to the contractor's agree ments, tho ceilings, mortar, and floors were imperfect. Their safety, lie thought, was secured by recent alterations; but he thought tho Controllers should hold all contractors strictly to their written contracts. All varia tions must be at once corrected. Mr. Haines stated that the Committee on Property had atteuded to the communication previously referred to them. They had com pelled alterations to the buildings, which rendered them perfectly safe. Mr. bhippen replied that the plastering bad not been replaced. The plastering is falling from the walls. He was glad to know that the Committee on Property were doing all they could to superintend personally the erection of the buildings. The amendment was withdrawn. The com munication went to the Committee on Pro perty. Otner communications came in as follows: From the Second Section, requesting that the new school-house at Sixth and Carpenter streets be called the "Washington." From the Twelfth Section, requesting that the new school-house at Dilwyn and Callow hill streets be called the "Sander School," and that on Marion street the "Locust School." From the Thirteenth Section, protesting against the act pending before the Legislature conferring the power to appoint Controllers upon the Courts, and requesting the city repre sentatives to vote against the passage of the act. From the School of Design, requesting the Hoard to appoint a committee to visit that school, and consider the expediency of intro ducing practical drawing into the public schools. A communication from a committee of prin cipals of grammar schools called attention to the fact that there are less than half as many girls as boys educated in the High School, and requesting an extension of High School privileges to girls. Mr. Freeborn moved that the subject bo referred to the Committee on Girls' High School, with instructions to report a resolution of request to Councils for the purchase of a lot for the erection of a new school-house. Mr. Stanton moved that it shall be the duty of the Committee on Reports to collect from the different States and cities, from year to year, annual reports of schools, and such other books or pamphlets as may be had by way of exchange, and have the same bound . in volumes, and preserved for the use of the Hoard. The Committee also to procure a copy of all text-books now or hereafter in use. Agreed to. Mr. Freeborn, Chairman of Boys' High School, requested of Councils 400 for repairs to that institution. He said that this was agreed upon in committee, but accidentally omitted in the bill. Agreed to. The Committeti on Accounts reported bills amounting to $211,0l(i'ol. Laid over. Tho Committee on Property reported a re solution directing the Sectional Hoards to name the school-houses now erecting, or to be erected, in their respective sections, and at once report tho same to this Hoard. The Committee on Property, through its chairman, Mr. Haines, submitted the follow ing directions to architects : Mlicrean, The commissions paid to architects are in consideration of their active ana dili. gent care anil supervision of new school-houses, uk well lis lor their plans, aud it in of right ex pected of them that they shall give to the lute rests of the city the same attention that they would give to their own all'uirs, without which the commissions rue not fairly earned and should not be paid. The following duties are prescribed for each architect, and u failure to perform them will be regarded as a breach of duty on their part: First. Each architect Is required to visit every school-house under his charge once a week until the walls are up to the square, and afterwards twice a eck, uulil the same is finished accord ing to contract. Second. He shall Inspect carefully all the ma terial and workmanship, and shall report to this committee every deviation from the con tract. Third. He shall not permit or sanction any deviation trom the contract, and whenever a contractor hhall perform Ills work In an un workmanlike manner, furnish unsuitable ma terials of any kind, or shall In other respects violate his contract, the architect shall specifi cally report the same In his next report, and give notice to the contractor that he will not approve of the work or materials, or other vio lation of his contract. Fourth. Each architect shall report the date of every visit, and when an architect sUall have the supervision of more llian one building, he shall make separate reports concerning each. Report of the Api'Kkxticf.s' Library Com pany. The forty-eighth annual meeting of the Apprentices' Library Company was held last evening, James J. Harclay, Ksq., in the chair.

The fruitful inventions in the implements of warfare which characterized the recent war on our own soil, and the decisive results which always told favorably of the more ellieient arm, have had tho effect of lending a new im petus to American mechanical genius in this direction. The terrifying effect of the Prus sian needle-gun on the Austrian ranks in the late European conflict also demonstrated the value of an advanced idea, embodied in proper mechanism, and pointing the purpose of bold and resolute hearts. Yet the needle-gun is a cumbrous and innocent weapon compared with the recent breech-loading arms which Ameri can inventors have lately produced. In view of tho advisability of securing a perfect arm for the State service, a Hoard of Examination was some time ago appointed by Adjutant General S. E. Marvin, of the State of New York, wbose purpose was to eliminate, from a wide and diverse range of mechanism, the simplest and most efficient, with a view to the conversion of the ordinary Springfield musket into tho best breech-loading arm. The Hoard was admirably selected, and is composed of Hrigadier-General G. W. Palmer, General WT. G. Ward, Colonel G. W. Haker, and Colo nel Silas W. Burt, all gentlemen possessing a thorough knowledge of the subject, and zeal ous in their efforts to secure for the State a superior arm for its service. As a result .of the assembling of this Hoard, nearly two hun dred alterations of the breech-piece were entered for examination. Some dozen tests were applied to each gun, under tho require ments,., as defined by General W. G. Ward. These consisted mainly of the proof-charge, where (iO grains of electric powder are used, eijual to 240 grains of the ordinary Govern ment cartridge powder; the filled cartridge, which severely tests the strength of the breech piece, the effect of moisture, sand, etc. on the action of the mechanism of tho breech, accu racy ot lire, rapidity ot lire, penetration, sim plicity of movement and construction, and several other tests. Among the more promi nent inventions were those of Berdan, Empire, Montstorm, Lamson, Roberts, Poultney, Joslyn, Thunderbolt, Meigs, Remington Im proved, and the altered Needle-gun. The latter, in its improved condition, could not develop a rapidity of lire beyond seven or eight rounds per minute in the hands of experts, while the Empire gun expelled 100 balls in 4-20 the fastest time on record being an average of over 23 in one minute. This gun, however, is easily dis abled. The Berdan gun has fired 18 shots in one minute, and is the simplest and most effi cient in construction. The Roberts gun im pelled a ball through fifteen one-inch planks at a range of one hundred feet, and the Ber dan through fourteen. The others mentioned were almost as remarkable for power and rapidity of action. The Hall, Sharp, and Spencer magazine guns were proved to be failures, when compared with one of these single-breech loaders, although 9 balls were expelled from the Hall magazine in 25 seconds, but usually occupied as many seconds in the retuhng ot the magazine, lue labors ot the Board will be concluded in a lew days, when it will bo known whiuh. is the best and most reliable breach-loading small arm that Ameri can inventive genius has yet produced, as the Hoard has labored,, with diligence since early in December last, and are fully competent for the decision. Tbe History of Tronierii There was one etrikinn difference between the drcf-es of most of the other known nations of the ancient world and those ot the Greeks aud Romans. Trousers, or pantaloons, were worn by the Oriental nations Medes, Persians, As syiians, Parthians and by the principal West ern tatious of Europe Known to the ancients, especially the Dacians and Uanl-. The tirst women who are known to have assumed this dress were the Amazons; hut even these ladies, unlike tlieir succefsors, tue bloomers, modestly limited the time of imprisonment in such mas culine habiliments to the period of warlike expeditions, after which they resumed the cus tomary and graceful attire of their sex, laying anide ihe sarb of nianbooJ with the liclmet, shield, and fpear. These parmt-nts were made ot skins or rietiiy wrougnt ciotn, sometimes tittine liehtlv to the limbs, like those in use here, and sometimes loose and hanging in iohls over the shoes, like the Turkish trousers. The Greeks never wore them at all; nor did the hoinans until the time of the Emperors, who attempted to introduce breeches uinom; their tubicct. as a meaus of making; them loriret their an.-ient liberties.
