EHexAxp's FAN ouEEx.-Yeuerdsy morning while
was sauntsring, like lsafer, at the fsot q Beck
man street, and watching the movements Of pretty
strawberry girl who said in not the softest accents,
to me-" you souint.eyed rascal! do you see any
thing you don't like about ne?"-I was irresistibly
led towards the gangway Of beautiful vessel, by
some strange mysterious impulse which ! could not
shake sf. SWELL" said |, s.pll 60 en- And so
did-and soon found myself board, then descend
ing the companion way, then entering the ladies' ca
bin, and 10! the mysterious impulse was solved at
once. there found most beautiful painting of Queen
Victoria on glass of the most vivid and sparkling
coours arrayed in her robes Of state, and sitting
DILIGENTLY on rich sofa, with her beautiful right
carelessly hanging over it, and benign expression
in her happy face For minutes was entranced
with the brilliant colourng, the delicaey Of the
tints the fine expression Of the face, and the exqui
site moulding of the figure. In the back ground
distinct view of London was discernable. While
standing under this influence, east my eye stern
ward and there met the familiar face and kind well
come Of Capt. Waite, the gallant commander Of the
English packet ship. who said MIR. B. how do you
do ! am glad to you. Now, don't you think
that looks like Enand's pretty Queen p Capital"
repliedI.
This is truly very exquisite little painting, done
in beautiful tints, inburnt into glass; by artist of
Liverpool according to the original principles of
this ancient art. If Captain Waite would only
open the doors of his elegant floating beudor-for SO
the magnifce arrangements Of his cabin ought
TO be called-he would have as many visitors
any Of the paintings Of the Queen Of England that
are now before the public. The England sails for
England the 1st Of July, and already half the
berths in her cabin taken-for il is an axiom in
Atlantic travel that those whs cross the ocean
with Captain Waite, generally desire to repeat the
dose when they have an opportunity.
The FIRE DEPARrMENT.-Th +" Courier was
out again yesterday with long political article in
relation to the New York 6remen. This is only
part and parcel of the system that is pursued by the
"Journal of Commerce" Both the Courier" and
the journal are determined to break up the
fire department it is now constituted they
both have the same object in view although they
approach the ultimatum by different routes. The
"Journal" exposes what it calls the abuses Of the
department, and inserts the most infamous and UNI
founded attacks upon fremen, in the form Of ''com-
munications" The "Courier,' whilst il affects to
land the department. is secretly sapping its founda
ton and destroying its utility, by endeavorng to
make it political engine, totally subservient to par
ty purposes. In their endeavor to do this they de-
stroy the result they desire to produce. They
never should have raised the senseless camor they
did, at the time they did II is of TO make
noise now about the recent movement in the Common
Council The locofocos have seen their folly, and
backed out Of their untenable position. If the wing
press of Wall street had let them alone till they had
completed their purpose, the locofocos would have
been defeated at the next election. But they made
such outcry that the sensible portion Of the de-
mocracy backed out, and thus upset all the machn-
cry the Wall street press endeavoring to in
motion The last movement is the only true one
Danish politics from the fire department renovate
and strengthen il judicousy and honeraby and give
the election Of Chief Engineer to all the fremen indi
vidually. Above all, keep politics and the pol
lated press Of Wall street from the department.
FAsHIoSABLE ARRIvAL.-His Highness the Grand
Turk with part Of his beautiful seraglio arrived
yesterday from Boston, and has taken lodgings at
some fashionable watering place in the neighbor-
hood A full account tomorrow, with all the poe.
try and beautiful incident of the travellers. The
lady is bca utfu-the gentleman learned-in fact, a
perfect union Of love and law.
GAMBLIxe.-The "AIbany Daily Advertiser now
conducted by Rufus KIM, sPrig OF the clique in
ono person Of honorable feeling would refuse pay
bet il once made. This is said in reference to the
betting and gambling the last election by Joe
Hoxie, who has taken an oath to support the laws.
