regarded as a failure. There the telerranbic
machines, instead of being gent in the station
houses are enclosed in strong boxes, and posted
at the most available points throughout the
Guy under the charge of policemen who are
always IN tic. vicinity. BY this means imme-
ala'e ihic' .mation of fire, in any locality, can
~ q" IN to all the.fre companies at the same
4s. The moment fire is discovered
ths policeman, who is always to be found
near the telegraphic post, is informed Of
it, when lie sets the machine in operation,
and instantly every fire bell in the city an
nounces the number of the district in which it
is to be found The bells are rung by the tele-
graph simultaneously and without the agency
Of the ringer, whose services are entirely dis
pensed with. 1t is true they are not SO large as
not SO well suited to the system as our bells
and towers would be- In the case Of q
false alarm the companies on their way to the
scene of the supposed fire are notified of it by
a particular signal and thus great deal of I'M
necessary trouble is prevented. If the fire has
been suppressed, Immediately after its tliscove-
ry, the fremen who are on their way can also
be informed Of ii in the same manner. Occa-
sonally, we are told mistakes occur from the
arrangement of the machines, but as a general
thing the plan has been very successful. We
trust some such system will be adopted in New
York, if, as we suspect, that which we have
adopted is found inadequate to the purpose.

CAPTURE OF KALAFAT,

The most awakening intelligence by the
Pacific, is in the shape of a rumor, to the
effect that the Russians had attacked
Kalafat, demolished the Notifications,
and massacred the inhabitants without
mercy. The following account, from the
London Times, of Kalafat, is interest
ing:
This place, of which so much has been
said lately. is town of 1000 houses.
1t is surrounded with walls, has quar-
antine, town hall, a custom-hOuse,
three churches, and cavalry barracks.
1t is the chief place of a sub-administra-
tors district. The redoubts raised by
the Turks are of great extent and very
strong: They are partially raised on two
high hills on the plains of Kalafat, about
a mile distant from each other, and have
numerous artillery. All the neighbor-
ing country is commanded by these hills,
in such a way that no approach to the
Danube can be made. In 1923 these
hills were occupied and fortified by the
Russians. Between Widdin and Kalafat
the Danube is little less than mile wide
and the course of it is very rapid. The
island in which the Turks are fortified j.
situated near the left bank is is partly
covered with wood, and is defended BY
strong entertainments in earth, bearing
large artillery. Above Widen the Turks
have constructed new citadel, according
to all the rules of art.

The San Francisco markets continued
excessively depressed and stagnant. Su-
perfine Gallego and Haxall Flour was
held at $8.5Oa$9. Clear Pork sold at
$40, and Mess at SIG.
i The mining accounts are exceedingly
favorable. Owing to copious rains, large
quantities of gold had been dug-more
than for many previous months-and the
miners appear to be all prospecting.
Among the passengers from California
is Thomas F. Mesgher.
.. From Panama
An Indian from the interior had come
into Panama, and stated that Lieutenant
Strains surveying party had been killed
by wild beasts. The story was not be.

SPIRIT OF THE:MoRNINa PRESS.

The Inteiligencer, containing a highly
laudatory notice of the country proposed
to be acquired under the Gadsden treaty,
from the Boston Post, on the authority Of
Major Steiner, thinks there must be some
mistake about the Majors endorsement
of such an account Of the region in ques-
ton, and adds, that no such view of it
is borne out by Ex-Governor Lane, of New
Mexico, who travelled it in company with
the Major, and who is now in Washing.
ton to answer for himself.
The Union, discussing our relations
with Mexico, conceives it highly import
ant in the present juncture of our nation
al affairs, that all our outstanding issues
with her should be settled with as little
delay as possible. The same journal,
commenting on the shouts of the aboli-
tionists over their fancied triumphs in
securing the commitment of the Nsbras-
ka bill, says that its friends " have cal
culated upon embarrassment from the
coalition of fanaticism and faction, but
they have never doubted their final tri-
umph over all opposition. They will
profit by the lessons of wisdom taught
them by their enemies
The Sentinel criticises Mr.. Cuttings
now famous motion Of reference, saying
IN the course Of its well considered article
