The Committee on Property reported to lease the Howard Hall, in Shippen street, below Fourth, at an annual rent of $5OO, for three years. Adopted. The Committee on Boys' High School reported the names of graduates entitled to the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Arts. Approved. The Committee on Girls' High School re ported the names of the applicants admit ted to that institution at the last examina tion. The report was approved. The Board then proceeded to discuss the resolution offered at the last meeting to petition the Legislature to require all the taxes levied in the city for school purposes to be appropriated expressly for the Board School Control. The resolution offers to the Board an act to be recommended to the Legislature. The act was published in our report of the January meeting. It requires all moneys levied as taxes for school pur poses to be placed in a bank designated by the City Treasurer, subject to the order of the President of the Board of School Con trol. After paying the warrants of the schoolteachers, the balance of the fund is to be used in reducing the ground rents on the city school houses. Mr. Shippen explained the subject to the Board. For years he said the warrants from teachers have been hypothecated in our streets at discounts varying from five to twenty per cent., while the school taxes have been used by Councils for other pur poses. The resolution was agreed to. A resolution was offered to admit Frank Pritchard into the High School, although under 13 years of age, The case was explained by Mr. Freeborn. The boy will not be thirteen until May, but passed the examination with an average of over eighty-seven, ranking number six out of the entire number applying. The question was referred to the Com mittee on Boys' High School with power to act. The appropriations for the support of the Public Schools of the First School District of Pennsylvania, for the year 1866, were submitted to the Board : • Schools snd i .6 m • Eti . .3 .; .12 'l;', R . 19 . .3 Sections. - es ".

THE COMMENCEMENT OF LENT.—Yester day was "Shrove Tuesday," and, being the last day previous to Lent, it was generally observed as a day of feasting. In Italy and other countries entirely Catholic, it is made the last day of the carnival, and is celebra ted by masked balls and other amusements. - In England ann Ireland the night of Shrove Tuesday is called "pancake night," from the fact that on that night pancakes are largely indulged in by those who can afford the luxury. The same practice prevails to a considerable extent in this country—only here it is termed "pancake day." To-day is Ash Wednesday, the com mencement of the season of Lent. That portion of the community belonging to the Catholic and Protestant Episcopal persua sions will enter upon a season of fasting and prayer peculiar to their own denominations, the observance of which is according to the rules and regulations of their respective churches. The period of Lent is known as the penitential season; and the first day, Ash Wednesday, receives its designation from the fact teat at the services in the Catholic churches on that day the officiating priest, taking ashes on his thumb, marks the forehead of each communicant with it in the form of a cross, repeating at the same time the "Memento Mori," or remember death, "Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return." The seasort of Lent lasts about forty days, and terminates on Easter Sunday the last week being known as "Holy Week," in which the ceremonies of the Catholic, and is a great measure those of the Episcopal church, are typical of the passion and death of the Saviour of mankind, and on the last day holy Saturday, of His being placed in the tomb. ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.—This is St.Va lentirte's Day, when missiles of love and affection are supposed to have free passage without giving offence. The practice of sending out such missives, although rapidly falling into disuse, is still kept up to a con siderable extent. For weeks ,past the win dows of the fancy stationery stores have been filled with valentines of handsome de signs* gnd this morning the lett;er carriers all started out with extra sized bundles under their arms. The valentines now made differ conside rably from those of a few years ago. They are not usually, when the increased ex pense of, production is considered, so costly as they were. That is, while the prices of materials and labor have risen, the rates for Valentines have remained stationary, or are less, and not so many rare specimens of • work are produced now as formerly. The highest prices of any valentines, usually made for regular sales, average about ten dollars. Comparatively few reach this ; figure; but many are sold at from five to ten dollars each. Probably more than half the total sum obtained for all the valentines is derived from those disposed of at from one to five dollars; while not a quarter of the whole number manufactured sell at a higher price than one or- two dollars. The great mass of them are of the very cheap descrip tions, some of the sentimental varieties being afforded for five cents or less each. Great numbers—millions in the aggregate —are sold to children, whose first formal "declarations" are so often made through the medium of these showy preparations of paper and tinsel.

One of the rascals almost choked him, while the others robbed him of his watch and six dol lam in money. Mr. Hill identified Tyler as one of the party. He was committed to an swer. COBOITEIe QUEST. —Coroner Taylor held an inquest, yesterday afternoon, upon the body of Cornelius McDonough, who died from the effects of injuries received by being run over on the Norristown Railroad, a few days since.

STILL THEY COME.—The European Times, 27th nit., says a large number of respectable young men from all parts of England are emigrating to America in the numerous steamers which, are now plying between various ports and the United States. This exodus appears to have arisen in consequence of the accounts constantly received of the wealth of the United States and the scope there for enterprise.

E. corner Ninth aud Market street& RuneLaatons.—There seems to be an In creasing disposition among the idle and evil-disposed to carry on the business of house-breaking and robbery, notwithstand ing the vigilance of the police and watch fulness of the citizens themselves. About twelve o'clock on Monday night, an at tempt at robbery was made at the house of Joseph W. Cooper, Esq., at Cooper's Point, but the villians became alarmed be fore effecting an entrance. As a son of Mr. Cooper went home from his duties at the ferry, he met two men on the steps, who inquired of him if a certain gentleman re sided there. On being told that he did not, the two hurriedly retreated, and when jr.N Cooper opened the door he discovered that four holes had been bored through the panels. The night before an entrance was effected into a house on Bridge avenue, by some adroit thief, and a pair of pantaloons were stolen. He was frightened away before he could get anything else. A night or two since the residence qf C. Hultz, No. 330 Plum street was entered, during the absence of the family, and a silver watch stolen thentrom. A WARNING.—The convictions and sen tences of the last term of court must satisfy the rogues of other places that New Jersey is a dangerous field in which to operate. Those who select our inland villages in which to pass counterfeit money presume toe much upon the inexperience and sim plicity of our people. A "hit" may be made occasionally, but the race of the offender is generally short, for they are sure to be caught. And then comes the penalty. There is no escape from "Jersey Justice," when once invaded by "foreign" depreda tors, for they are sure to get all the law will give them. Taylor, the vender of counter feit money, was too shrewd to pass it in his own neighborhood. He used gold in all his dealings about Longacoming and Tans boro', and he was regarded as a great con venience in giving or making change—per forming the duties of a banker. Few men were more respected, because he was as generous and upright at home, as he was unscrupulous abroad. He was afraid to operate to any extent in Jersey, because he knew the dread of "Jersey law." EASTERN CAMDEN.—The progress of im provement in Camden seems to have set eastward, for there are many new build ings contracted for to be commenced in the spring, in that direction. This is accounted for by the fact that Cooser's creek affords elegible location for manufacturings estab lishments, many of which have already been established there. There are several narties contemplating the erection of other Large factories of various descriptions, which will, consequently, cause them to build private dwellings to accommodate their workmen. THE COURT HOUSE.—The present condi tion of the Camden Court House renders it hardly fit for the business transacted in it. The Board of Chosen Freeholders should make an effort to repair and greatly im prove it. The furnace and heaters are badly arranged, so much so indeed, that the stench from the sinks and cells 1111 the rooms above to every disagreeable extent, making it unhealthful and annoying. These evils are so apparent that they ought to be remedied at once. At the Walnut to-night Clarke appears in "The Comedy of Errors" and "Nicholas Nickleby." At the Chestnut "Henry Dun bar."
