however hampered he might be by Legislative
restraints in imparting to them as full and a
perfect an organization as he might desire, tina
such powers as he possessed were fully carried
out. Under the present system II is notorious
that this is far from being the case and although
various attempts have been made to saddle the
responsibility of the results on the right shoul
ders, they have unfortunately in almost every
instance failed
The inquiries to which the bill recently passed.
in Congress for the augmentation Of the navy
necessarily gave rise, will, however, we trust
have the effect of directing the attention of the
country to this and other reforms needed to
complete the valuable recommendations con-
tanned in the report of the committee. The
latter have already been 50 fully discussed
that it is unnecessary for us to do more than
to express our entire approval Of them. They
were urgently called for by the necessity Of the
case; and until they are fully carried out, we,
can never expect to see our navy brought to
that high state of organization and efficiency
position as great maritime power.
That the recent additions to the effective
force of our navy will be insufficient to meet
the exigencies Of the events that are now i'm
pending, must be apparent to all who are en-
dowed with ordinary foresight. The present
administration, although not remarkable for
the possession Of this quality, seems to be i'm
pressed with the necessity of preparing for the
contingencies to which our complications with
Spain may give rise. The Japan and Mediter;
ranean squadrons have been ordered home
with view to concentrating as large naval
force as possible upon our Atlantic coast line.
and in a short time our commerce in the
former latitude win be left wholly unpro-
tected As we do not know the moment at
which some unforeseen aggression may drag us
into the vortex of the present European diff
culties, measures will soon have to be taken to
provide against any sudden emergency that
may arise in those quarters

The porcine war at the Falkland Islands has

readers the facts of the capture Of two American
whalers by an English vessel of war, and the inic

PAID FIREMEN.-We publish elsewhere for
the especial benefit of our city government, an
ordinance regulating the fire department, lately
enacted by the Common Council of Newark.
The wisdom of New York is not SO profound
that it cannot learn something from Newark in
this respect. The ordinance, it will be noticed.
carries out in many particulars suggestions ad-
vanced some time ago in this paper 1t organ
ICES, axd, in all its branches places the depart
ment under the strictest discipline. In the
first place there is Board of Engineers, under
the immediate control Of the Common Council.
This board, consisting of chief and four assist
ants, makes rules and regulations for its own.
government, and its members superintend and
control the operations at fires. 1t is upon the
recommendation of the Board of Engineers that
the members Of the fire department are appoint
ed by the Common Council, and receive their
certificates to that effect. It 10 moreover the.
duty of the Board to recommend suitable per-
sons for fire wardens-four for each ward-who,-
in their turn, are to look after the supplies of
water, and prevent those who do not belong.
to the department from working at<ires They
are also required to inspect public and private
dwellings, and see that they are neither de-
fective or dangerous The ordinance enjoins
the observance of strict military discipline
throughout the whole corps, and the men are
to be paid for their services. The sum which
each fireman win receive may appear small; but
II win be recolected that where fifty fires take
place IN New York, one, perhaps, will not occur

Lord Clarendon, In . public speech 10 the
British Parliament, that the present happy
accord' between England and France compre-
heads the regulation Of the balance Of power
not only in the Old World, but also in the New
In other words, it comprehends such a policy
as win best be adapted to check the expanding
internal strength and the naval supremacy Of
this republic upon this continent The balance
of power Of which his lordship speaks, means
a European balance Of power, to be welded by
England and France, the wide world over, in
Guiding the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific
Ocean.
Such being the comprehensive object Of their
present war with Russia, it is impossible to
conjecture the limits Of the occupations and an
nexations Of the Western Powers, should they
come out Of this conflict triumphantly. They
may divide between them, the Turkish provinces
in Europe, Asia and Africa-they may appro-
pirate the Chinese Empire-they may establish
a Buonaparte or Saxon protectorate over Spain
and her colonies-they may extend their good
Offices of regulation to Mexico and Central
America-they may boldly seize upon the fee
BILE States of South America; for what
will there be to hinder them, should
this present "happy accord" continue, after
they shall have vanquished the Gar, as they
propose to do? Our direct interest, therefore,
in the extensive programme laid down by the
allies, should admonish our government to seize
upon every available opportunity calculated to
maintain and strengthen the American branch
of this balance of power in our own hands. To
this end not only does the acquisition of Cuba
become exceedingly desirable; not only does
the annexation Of Honduras recommend itself
as proceeding Of self-defence, but the pur-
chase, when they can be had for a song, Of the
Russian territories on our northwest coast be-
comes also measure Of sound public policy.
We have, however, SO little confidence
in the capacity of the administration to COZ I
prehend this policy, and SO little relian .
on its moral courage or energy to act upon
it, that it is very likely We shall hear of
the seizure of the Russian territories q
America by England, before Marcy will have
had the opportunity to think upon the SUI:
ct. A resolution of inquiry on the part
of Congress, the House, or the Senate,
might possibly have good effect. Otherwis
without the Intervention Of Congress in taking
the initiative we can count upon nothing in
our foreign affairs but the temporizing expe-
dents of timidity, negligence, and delay. We
call the attention, therefore, Of the practical
statesmen in Congress, whoever they may be,
to the subject Of this article, and to all other
subjects touching the balance of power" in
this hemisphere. We look for nothing-we can
expect nothing -from the administration

interest attaches 10 the private movements OF
alinets and diplomatists. The most important
fact 10 be gathered from them, however, is the
complete revolution that has taken place IN the
opinions Of Europeans within the last thirty
years with regard to American influence and
American commerce. Thirty or forty years
ago, no one would ever have thought OF
inquiring what we felt or what we in
tended to do in relation to European
war. Now, the first question discussed be-
tween France and England is what side will
the United States take? This change has been
brought about by the development of our ma
rhine power. We might have had half
million soldiers on foot--we might have grown
ten times the quantity of corn-we might have
! exported twenty times the quantity Of manu-
features we do--no such compliment would
have been paid us had we not bad our present
seaboard and our present materials for navy.
| These are the true elements Of our national
greatness. If we would progress in the course
we have begun, we must lose no opportunity
of developing them. Our trade must be ex-
| tended in every direction; and if in any quar-
Ter obstacles impede it, or hostile menaces
threaten its security in time Of trouble, it is
our duty as prudent men to remove the one and
silence the other while peace lasts, SO as to be
prepared for the worst A few vigorous and
honest administrations would render us the
commanding maritime nation of the world
few such governments as the one under which
we are now living would save France and Eng
| lapd the trouble Of further anxiety on our ac-
| count.
