New Jaii.-The Council will meet t.. morrow
to consider the prOpriety of erec ting a new

make it bo,h secure and comfortable. 1t seems
to ms that the best plan, under all the circum-
stances, would be to tear down the Lancaste.
rlan school building, establish three or four
ward schools in its place, and use that lot Tor
the purposes of new jail If this were done
the prison premises could be well drained
and kept dry aud healthy. and no thickly set
tied neighborhood would be annoyed by hay-
ing a Jail III its midst. The Council will pro
bably secure the basement Of the Seamens
Bethel, which could be used as a Laucasterian
School, and by increasing the number of FREE.
schools, could better accommodate te the children
who attend them, and ut the same time afford
the teachers better opportunities for instruct
ing their pupils. The policy of herding large
numbers of children together is a doubtful
one, TO say the least, and when it can be easily
avoided, the city should net hesitate to do so

with SO much ceremony, and erected at cost
of S50,0o0, with an additional expenditure OF
SiC,U0 for its Inauguration, is, in the opinion of
nlne- tenths of those who have seen it, an utter
failure. Its demeriis great and so nu-
merous, thar it would be almost impos bic to
describe them within the limits OF an ordinary
letter. 1t is sufficient. therefore, 10 say that.
one universal expression of dissatisfac tion
with the work is heard throughout the CITY
