The FIRE TELEGRAPH OF New YoRK-A
plan was proposed about two years ago in the
Common Council, for the establishment Of
telegraph at the City Hall, by which that build
ing could be brought in direct communication
with all parts OF the city. It was proposed to
make it the grand centre from which telegraphc
wires should radiate to the various station
houses, so that in case Of fires, riots, or dis
turbances of any kind immediate information
thereof could be ent to the Chief of Police, or
his deputies As the plan was approves Of very
generally it was adopted, and an appropriation
made to carry it into effect. Like all other
projects, however, for the benefit of the city
the work has been retarded for nearly two
years, and we believe that up to the present
time IL remains in an unfinished state. Com
munication has been established with the
residence of the Chief Of Police aud
the majority Of the station houses; but little
if any benefit has resulted to the Fire
Department from what has been thus far
accomplished. 1t was intended to increase the
efficiency of that body by the rapid communal
cation of intelligence from one fire district to an
other, and to prevent as much as possible the an
noyance to which true iremen are subjected from
the frequency of false alarms. In accomplish
ing this desirable result it has no. been so sue
cessful as we had anticipated, and n comparison
with the system Al operation =. Dosson may be

Wesley Smith, Jr., of this city, accompanied NJ Grum

sbly with the view Of fulfilling contract for supplying
the imperial government with $500 600 worth of ship
timber. We learn that some ten or twelve other
Americans went out with Mr. Smith, and that they are

Canada and Cuba.

While the great Powers Of Europe are ne
gotiating md preparing to fgt about
Turkey and the disposal of tn remains
of the fallen Oriental Empire the United
States, the ruling Power of this continent,
are discussing the ultimate disposal and
destiny of Canada and Cuba, the one depen-
dency of great Britain, the other of Spain. Sc
veral Canadian journals have referred to the
recent startling Developments made by the
organs of William II. Seward and John Mitchell.
with respect to the projected Irish invasion of
Canada: some with great seriousness, Others
with sarcasm and ridicule In point of fact.
the proposal of John Mitchell and his Seward
ally to invade and conquer Canada with band
of Irish Volunteers is .ust as rational and as
sensible as the motion made the other day in
Congress by Mr.. Campbell the free soiler for
opening negotiations with the Queen Of Eng
land with view of ascertaining at what figure
she would sell Canada. Their, is no doubt
among the fanatic abolitionists Of the North
a strong disposition to favor any scheme or
harbor any fallacious notion that may seem
charged with injury to the South. These would
advocate the annexation of Canada-not because
they desire to extend the territory ofthe Union
but simply from the fact that they see in it the
prospect Of large accession Of strength to their
party, and chance Of introducing into the
confederacy two or more members, irreconcl.

accepted that trust but he says that he will do SO in
that hundred thousand dollars worth of tickets

THURLow WEEDS LAST JoB.-Thurlow Weed
is cunning man where his own interest is
concerned. While the Legislature at Albany,
and the lockers on around that venerable body
were furious with excitement about the Maine
law and the Governors veto, and the destruc-
tive tendencies Of alcohol, Thurlow very quietly
slipped through both houses special act, Great
ing job for himself which will be worth, at
least, $4,000 or $4,000 to him. With the pre-
vious Jobs realized under the wing ascendancy,
he has probably realized from the Golfers of the
State, during the last few years, sum not less
than 100000. What has the State to show for
this large amount Of money? We have had
favorable seasons of anti-slavery excitement, of
anti-masonic excitement, of anti-rent excite
ment, of anti-alcohol excitement; all these pro-
ducing public disturbances, troubles, fmeutes,
riots rows, murders, and manslaughters. Who
wouldn't be public printer, with the liberty of
making half million in few years?
