Vllt Affairs.
For some time paat William McLean, a
veil-known pugilist, of this city, has been
actively engaged in training for the purpose
of fighting Jemmy Murray, a'late pugilistic im
portation trom tbe shores of Albion, the stake
tieing a purse of $1000. The affair came off
at an early hour at a place near Elkton,
Maryland, and resulted in McLean being de
clared the winner on a foul blow, received
at the hands of his opponent. Only twenty,
four rounds were fought..
Yesterday afternoon the stockholders of
Swartbmore College held their annual meet
ing in the old meeting-house on liace street,
above Fifteenth street. Clement M. Biddle,
cler?r, presided. The reports of the managers
and Treasurer were read, showing the oollege
to be in a nourishing condition. There are
now 2l." pupils in the institution, 11 '5 of
whom are females.
A special meeting of the Board of Public
Education was held yesterday afternoon, M.
Hall Stanton, President, in the chair. The
Board was convened to consider the appro
priation for school purposes for the year 1871.
By an act of the State Legislature it was pro
vided that if the Select and Common Coun
cils of Philadelphia failed to make an appro
priation by the first day of December, for
school purposes for the succeeding year, tken
the amount made for the previous year shall
1)6 appropriated for the succeeding year.
Councils failed to make an appropriation. The
amount of appropriation for the year 1870 is
not sufficient to meet the estimated expenses
for 1871. It falls short rl,00) and upwards.
Without any motion having been made, a dis
cussion arose as to what could and what could
not be done. Whether the Councils had
power to do this or that, or whether the
Board of Public JEducation could so adjust
matters and things as to relieve the Board
from its dilemma. The subject gave rise to
considerable discussion, and it was finally de
termined to ask Councils for a special appro
priation or transfer certain items so as to
meet the increased expenses of the coming
year.
