A FIRE DEPARrMENr.-The principal delay in
the procuring of fire engines for the use of our
City, is that there are as yet no reservoirs or
cisterns for their supply, and fire apparatus
would be of no use without them. But We be-
lieve that objection is now removed. There
couldn't house or building take fire anywhere
in town scarcely, without dozen ponds, lake
lets, &C., being within squirting distance. We
consider the city safe on that score, however,
as nothing ligneOus could burn such weather
as this.

On Wednesday night last, about eleven
O'Clock, gentleman residing in the north part
of town was awakened by kicking and ham,
mering on the front door, loud enough to raise
the ':seven sleepers." On enquiring the cause
of the alarm two burly Irishmen, half intOxi-
Gated demanded admittance, saying they WANT
ed to see some one there. AS no such person
was known of by the gent, he informed them
that they must be mistaken in the place when
they swore they wasn't, and tried to force an
entry into the hou Sc, nolens uolens. Where
upon, considerable of scrimmage ensued in
which the two assailants were kicked out in
short order. 1t is pity there were no police
in the neighborhood, so that these wretches
could have been punished by law for their as

The RUSH TO EURopE-A New York
correspondent writes; The travel to Eu-
rope this spring surpasses in numbers all for
mer occasions. Steamers leave this port al,
most daily, for some European port, and all
of them 60 full, and many of the fast sailors
are overcrowded. The low rate of fare is an
inducement to travellers to make the tour to
Europe. A friend of mine has lately return
ed from Imperial Rome, having been absent
about six months, and travelled by first class
conveyances tn oughout, the total expense of
which trip, from the time he left the shores
of America to the landing again thereon,
was something less than one thousand dollars.

ure induces many. even in moderate circum
stances, to pack up and be off,
