MEssRs EDIToRs:


Various articles have appeared in the papers,
advocating the purchase Of Fire Engine; and
it seems to me, that many persons labor under
the belief that when one is procured, we shall
be safe from any destructive conhagra,ion that
may arise. That some course should be adopt
ed to guard ourselves and our property against
The terrible calamity of fire is doubtless the de-
sire of every one in our community, yet it ape
pears very preposeraus to urge the necessity
of Fire Engine when we have no 'oater

But some will say, we can procure our water
from the slough, and there are other means
nearer such as wells, clsterns &C. In regard

Mr.. Beringer, our Minister to the Court of
Spain, gives the following picture of life in
Madrid
The fact is, that this is unquestionaly one of
the dearest capitals in Europe even the neces-
saries Of life are extremely high in price. The
great distaucr from the coast, in every direction,
and the universal want of the means OF good
internal communication, added to the barrenness
of the immediate locality, contribute greatly to
this state of things the peculiar habits of the
nation, SO far behind the spirit of improvement
in this age, their general prejudice against
everything foreign, their indifference, and even
content, with the stationary condition OF their
country, have all had most pernicious inf1u-
ence against the facility of procuring at cheap
rates even the necessaries, much more the com
forts and uxuries of life.
Water, even, which is here carried on mems
shoulders to the habitations Of all, is very dear;
wood, SO often indispensable in the peculiar and
extraordinary GOODNESS of the winter months,
and which can, with great difficulty, be procur-
ed at all in this treeless table land, is near one
cent per pound, for it is all sold by weight; so
of coal end oil, the latter in such universal use
here for lights; ann indeed, of everything else
which Is consumed in this cap tai, and whose
intrinsic cost, dear enough from the distance at
which they can only be obtained and the enor-
mons rates of expectation, generally on mules
backs is greatly enhanced by the enormous
system Of gate duties, universally prevalent in
Spain As an illustration of the immense cost
of internal transportation, will mention that
the amount Of the expenses of transport of
carriage, purchased for me by order in New
York. fran Cadiz to Madrid, was three hum
dred dollars yet th.s was the lowest sum for
which this service could be obtained, through
the cost Of such transport from New York to
Cadz was only fifty dollars.
The rates of transport are nearly in the same
proportion from Paris, and still higher from Lon
don. Horses, too, that are fit to be driven, are
very dear, and their maintenance very expen-
sive. Entertainments, though to certain ex-
tent indispensable, whether dinners or balls
jndging from my own experience at this court,
are more easily than at London or Paris, v here
there are such facilities for procuring every
thing required on such occasion.

But to return for an instant to that famous
Deed Of assignment: Did the Governor know

was declared a fraud. He DID. The protest was
before him. The Indians refused to trust him in

dragged before him. And why3 Because his

Then the Governor knew the paper to be

PartiCWEar Notice.

4 T the instance of friends, we have sent ont be-
~ yond the usual issue, six thousand full sets of
the DEMOCRATIC REVIEW, for the year 1852
to leading citizens in various parts of the country
Those who do not wish to retain them will obliSe
by passing them over to some progressive friend
who may be favorable to the progressive doctrines
OF the Democratic party. The sum of FIVE Dor
LARS will be received in such cases as payment for
1852 and 1858.
The Review is now undergoing new business ar
rGngements. The next will be a triple number,
issued Immediately after the Inauguration, and
will contain full exposition of the policy of the
incoming administration.
This notice is given TO prevent impositions on
cur friends by designing men. We can give every
assurance that the Democratic Review is in a fair
way of living much longer than any other review
or magazine in the world. And whether in the
hands OF its present managers or not, it will al
ways pursue the path it has pursued in 1852, and
advocate the doctrines of the Progressive Demo
cratic School, and none other.
Though rarely up to date, but never behind
ume. Tne present number, concluding the vol
ume, contains sixty more pages than We owe our
subscribers for the year 1859. The excess is how
ever, but small expression of our goodwin to the
warm hearted Young Democracy Who have cheer
ed in the difficult but inspiring career b;rb
opened before US in the eommencementofour great
