TnE FREMEs or Ngw YoRk.-There Is no fea-
ture in this "Empre City" OF the United States a
stranger is more struck WITH than its system OF
fremen; there is nothing IN il for which he feels a
stronger admiration. IL is entirely novel to him.
The idea of men working and daring as they do,
without fee or reward, in a country considered in
the old world the most selfish of nations, never en-
tered into his head The first time, therefore, that
he sees great fire in New York, his astonishment
is unbounded, as he witnesses their incredible ex-
ertions and devoted heroism nor is his wonder d.
minshed when he sees the maichlcss tact and skill
with which they achieve victory under the most
desperate circumstances.
II has been often matter of discussion whether
the office Of fireman or of a soldier is the more
eligible choice for citizen. While this Is qucs-
ton that must always be determined by individual
taste, and each man will follow his own instincts,
we may be permitted, without any dsparagement
Of citizen soldiers, to express honest opinion
that the fireman occupies by far the higher and the
prouder position.
Blessed as this country now is-with internal
concord and external peace with all the world-the
duties of the militia are, like angels visits, I" few
and far between" What is the fact with regard
TO the fireman There is no day nor night that he
can calculate upon exemption from duty Of the Sc
verest kind-duty that may cost him his life or
limb. lie never can promise himself nights
uninterrupted repose AT all hours, in every kind
Of weather-whethcr il rains, halls, or SHOWS
whether il is the "noon Of night or broad day, he
must be ready al the sound ct the alarm Nay, IL
is his delight to anticipate il, it he can. Often
have we seen the brave young fellows Of these
fire companies, when they heard the first stroke
Of the BELL spring to their feet and rush to the
scene Of destruction, as If they were seized with
sudden madness. Often are they found at the fire
before the alarm is tolled II is enough to stir from
it's depths the blood of the coolest nature to see
them sweeping at full speed through the streets,
perhaps under broiling mondays sun, perhaps at
dead Of night in the winter solstce, as if their
very lives depended on the issue. We have often
thought, while New York has such men, she
might defy the world IN arms. tits 'of such stuff
heroes are made" The word soldier stands as a
synonymc among nations, for all that is heroc-to
our thinking the fireman Of New York is the
bravest Of mortals Five hundred such fellows are
worth FIVE thousand ordinary men. Their enthu-
siasm, their courage and impetuosity. would be
equally irresistible in the sanguinary charge as in
"ihe imminent deadly breach"
There is no training short of actual service in the
field equal to the training Of the fire companies for
producing invincible troops. They are the very
life and soul Of the military spirit The man who
is fore 1t FIRE is rot likely TO be laggard in

AFFAIRS AT HAYrI.-The Boston Traveller OF
the 1lth inst. gives the following explanation OF
the affair at Port au Prince, to which we referred
afew daysslnce:-
We learn that, on the arrival of the schooner
Mary Chiffon at Port au Prince, her consignees
refused to sell the cargo at the monopoly rates,
unless the government would furnish payment in
coffee at the government price. This was refused,
as coffee was not to be had, and yet the sale Of
sion a loss of more than fifty per cent to the
owners. The eonsignees still refusing to sell, a
detachment of the police was SENT and small
quantity of fish, mackerel, &C., was taken, for
which the monopoly rates were rendered IN cash.
The money was refused, and recourse was had to
Com. Parker, of the frigate Raritan, then in the
harbor of Port au Prince. The commodore, how
ever refused to interfere, advising the cOnsignees
to conform TO the law, at whatever sacrifice. This
they were willing to do, if the government would
nish coffee at $27; and if this could not be done,
they demanded free sale Of the goods, for the
most they could obtain, as the only Just mode Of
proceeding. Com. Parker, however, still refused
even to second the claims Of the consgnees by
remonstrance with the government, but referred
them TO the acting commercial agent, who was a
Hayden, and sailed the next day Tor Havana.
In these circumstances, the consgnees made
personal application TO President Soulouque, who,
after full hearing had the magnanimity to say it
was one-slded affair and manlfestly unjust, and
gave orders that the sale should be Free as the
only equivalent that could be made under the cir
cumstances. The cargo then sold at iair rates,
and the conslgnees take their chance of investment
IL is gratifying to know that George p. Usher,
Esq, one of the consgnces of the Mary Chiffon,
citizens. has been recently appointed by General
Taylor commercial agent at Port Prince, and
we resce that the office has fallen into the hands
" one so able to fulfil Its duties.

tomorrow to the fire companies to defend their
island home against foreign invader, It would be
seen what prodgies of valor they would accomplish
Who can tell how far the fire companies of New
York, by their example, by the public spirit and
patriotism which they foster and make "racy of
the soi,' and by the presence of their members
ameng the New York volunteers, contributed TO
the splendid victories in the Mexican war--victo-
ries which have been the admiration of all nations,
and are the glory Of ou- own? Certain 1t Is that
some of the most important of these battles were
won, at least much by the enthusiasm and
bravery of the men, as by the wisdom and skill OF
their commanders.
Again, il is the business of the professional SOL
der to destroy life and property, as well as to
save and evil is necessarily mixed up with the
good he achieves. The proper sphere of the fire.
man is one of pure, unmixed salvation. Every
fellow citizen feels that he may be indebted to
him day, for the safety of his property,
and it may be his life. Thousands feel grateful TO
the FIRE companies for past servicesall feel proud
of them
In other countries, fremen are paid for their
toll, and very lazily do they perform their task.
Here, it is the proudest feather in the cap of the
fireman that they work con amore-work for nothing
vie with each other to see who will be foremost
at the work, and who will do most to rescue his
neighbours house from the devouring flames Nor
are they discouraged by false alarms. After being
disappointed by stupidity or malice, they are as
prompt as ever, when the tocsin again sounds the
notes of danger and they never fail to respond
with aacrity to the call of duty.
Ne city in the world holds a finer set of fellows
than the fremen who constitute the young blood
of New York.
