There was an interesting intermingling of bloom- ers and breeches yesterday at Utica, on the occasion, | of the meeting of the Women’s State Temperance Conyention. Rum and tobacco, to say nothing of the other prohibited luxuries, were roundly, de- | nounced, and Governor Seymour was declared to be a Judas for his veto of the Maine law last winter. We have had a wonderful increase of the Judas family lately—anti-temperance, Nebraska, and auti- abolition Judasses. ‘The National Industrial Convention met at Tren- ton yesterday.

The steamship Arctic arrived yesterday, bringing one day later news than the advices brought by. the Niagara, at Halifax, the day previous. We give ur.usual comprehensive compilation from foreign journals, aud have commented upon the impoxtant points in an editorial article, to which we would direct attention. The commercial and financial in- telligence is confirmatory of that received by the Niagara, and published yesterday under the tele- graphic head. The Niagara’s news caused a decline in common State brands of flour of from 12kc. a 25c. per barrel. White, fancy, and extra brands ‘were unchanged. Wheat and corn were dull, but anchanged in prices. The transactions in cotton were limited, and prices unsettled. The Arctic’s mews, only being about half a business day later, exercired no influence on the markets. ‘The New Hampshire Legislature assembled yes- terday,when the two houses organized, choosing the @fficers nominated by the democratic partyin caucus the previous night. The official majority for Conrad in Phiiadelphia ie 8,343. He was supported by the whigs, temper- , apce men, and political natives, ip opposition to th: regular democratic nominee. AFPAIRS IN THE CITY. An important movement was commenced in the Board of Councilmen last evening. Mr. Pinckney offered a xerolution that a special committee be ap- + pointed to devise measures for reerganizing the Fire Department, which, after some remarks in ro- gard to its present deplmable condition, was adopt- ed. Mr. Wainwright also offered a preamble apd resolutions, stating that in consequence of the in- * grease of fowdyism in the department, and, its de- vlly, it had become necessary to provide mare stringent restrictions upon the com- panies, and providing that the machines be not taken out of their respective fire districts, execpt upon certain contingencies, and alse establishing , Penalties for infractions of the rules in that respect. Now that the matter is fairly before the oity coun- cil, and in the hands of a special committee, we trust athorough inquiry into the subject may be had. In order to arrive at a proper estimate of the relative agvantages and disadvantages of the paid and voluntery'yystems the committee should visit Boston, Providence, aud other cities where the paid plan has been tried and found to work 0 beneii- cially for the peace and pockets of the citizens. This was the course ef action adopted by the Coun- ell of Newark, and the result of the examination was a nearly unanimous opinion adverse to Vile hme ‘tried voluntary fire department, and an immediate we-organization on the paid system. The Board of Aldermen last evening transacted @ vast amount of routine business, priucipally con- sisting of concurring in and adopting reports in favor of grading, curbing, lighting, and improving various streets. A motion to confirm the appoint- ment of several offieers of the Croton Aqueduct Department was under -diveussion when the Board adjourned. In the Board of Education Jast evening Mr. Ran- all was elected City Superintendent of Schools by ® vote of forty-six. A report of the proceedings ‘Will be found in another column. Corover G'Donnell yesterday concluded the ex amination in the mysterious cage of finding a fe- male boxed up. She appeared to bave been the wile of a German tailor named Conrad Reickman. From the medical evidence given by Dr. Uhi it was evi- dent her death was caused by violence. A warrant was issued hy the Coroner for the axrest of Reick- man. BROOKLYN APFAIRS. Mayor Lambert has {sued a proclamation caution- ing all persons from attempting to interfere with itizens assembled for the worship of God in that city, either in buildings or on private gronpds, and also against all processions in the streets to such Places of worhip. He further notifies the public that measures have been taken Lo prevent any fur ther ch of the peace, and that order will be main tained hereafter at all haz: ANKOUS. wiscet +In the He of Representetives yesterday the Rost Office Committee were instracted to isynirc into the expe: of tetabl pos’ rontes ia Webraska and Kansas Territories, In Committee « the Whole the Pacific Railroad bill was further cussed, and Mr. Giddings undertook té feopen his quarrel with Mr. Smith, of Virginia, but was my ly checked by the Chairman. A‘ no time during th aftting was there a quorum of members present. News from New Brunswick represents that the question of commercial reciprocity has excited : great senaation there. The nom‘nation of candidates for the Legislature has brought out the narty leaders om this importent subject, and it would seom that the propoved treaty providing partial reciprocity be tween the United States and the Provinces is regarded with disfavor.

Foster's fine ship, the Currituck, ia to sali today or to-morrow for City Point, Virginia where she has engaged to load with tobacco for Bordeaux, France. The noble conduct of Captair Foster in rescuing the passengers of the Black Hawk will be long remembered. He was on his wiy at the time in the Currituck, of 600 tons, wit attendance. ‘8 FROM CALIFORNIA, ETO. We have received some additional items of news from California and tbe Isthmus by way of New Or- leans, which may be found under the telegraph! head. The French Consul at San Francisco, an ac- count of whose arrest upon the charge of violating the neutrality laws in organizing an expedition to proceed to Mexico we have heretofore published, was admitted to bail in ten thousand dollars. Walker’s party of filibusters, after encountering un- heard of hardships, surrendered to the United States authorities, and had arrived at San Francis co, where they were released on parole. The Legis- lature had adjourned. The reports from the mines are highly favorable. The propeller West Wind had been destryed by fire. The markets had slight- ly improved. The mail steamship entered the port of Acapulco without molestation, and reports all quiet at that place. Whether the attempted blockade by Sauta Anna’s one vessel of war had been abandoned or not we are uninformed. The difficulties at San Juan had reached a crisis. The Mayor had announced his resignation and the total dissolution of the city government. It was re ported that the revolutionists had compelled the city of Granaca to capitulate, and had established a new government. APPEAL OF A GREEK PATRIOT. In another part of today’s paper will be found na appeal to the American people on behali of Greece, by Christo Evangelidi. This gentlemam, a native of Greece, was brought tothis country when a boy, and educated at Columbia College, in this city. After graduating he returnea te Greece, and established a College at Athens, where for the last 17 years the system pursued at Columbia College has been car- ried out very successfully, furnishing Greece with accomplished teachers. Mr. Evangelidi is a man of fortune, and although he has liberally expended his wealth on the cause of his country he has still left a pecuniary independence. He comes here endorsed with letters from the most eminent of his country- men, and a perusal of his appeal will show how mach cause he has to ask the assistance of Americans, The News from Europe--The War Hanglag Fire, At a period when fhe apparently serious character. of the opening scenes of the political drama of which Europe is now the theatre, pr- mised us a succession of startling and exciting incidents, the plot seems to wax daily duller and more common-place, and we should not be at all surprised if the whole affain were brought to some abrupt and ridiculous termination. Ou glancing over the principal features of the intel- ligence brought by the Arctic, the impression which they leave on the mind is, that the Euro- pean war is, after all, a gigantic humbug, and that the principal actors in it are playing their parts with the consciousness that they are strutting in all the dignity of mock heroics. It is too bad, however, that after fright- ening the world from its propriety, and throwing nervous fund holiers -into fits, we should be cheated by such a’tathe and im potent conclusion. We fee] like the spectators of that humane amusement in which Spanish monarchs and Cuban governors love-to indulge when the bull turns tail upon the dogs, or the dogs themselves show the white feather. We were prepared for a fight; but it ‘leeks very much now as if none of the combatants were iu earnest in the matter. Between the Vienna :protocols and the secret instructions to the Admirals of the allied fleets, we are fairly puzzled to know what is really intended. One thing, however, scems pretty certain, from the evidences before us, and that is, that.all parties are unwilling to come to serious blows—the slight demonstrations that have already taken place being merely feints to cover some unde velaped plans or seeret negotiations. This may appear to be trifling with the sab- ject, but our readers have only to cast their eyes over the extracts from the Buropean pa- pers, contained in our columns to-day, to arrive at a similar conclusion, Again we have it re- ported frem Vienna that the protocol signed by the representatives of the four Power: binds them to maintain the integrity of Turkey, and that Austria and Prussia are about to demand the evacuation of the Principalities. A sort oi confirmation is attempted to be given to this assertion by a communication from Frankfort, stating that the ministers of Austria and Prus- sia had presented to the Dict a joint declara tion from those Powers, to the effect that the prolongation of the struggle between Russia and Turkey constituted a danger for Germany, aud that the integrity of Turkey must be maintained. The best commeutary that can be made on these statements ia to be found in the speeches of the Mar jnis © Clonricarde and the Wari of Clarendon, ia th House of Lords, on sth ult. The former showed that the treaty ¥ red into betweer Austria and Prussia was mfirked by as mach uepicion against theg Westera Powers « against Russia herself; and that although it contained on article specifying cor tain contingencies in the eyent of the two first-named Powers wee prepare’ to enter into hostilities against those contingencies were absurd ad remote and by no means explaiaed the real aninus o the treaty. Neither, he contended, did the pro tocol lately signed between the four Powers en sure any very decided co-operation on the part of Austria and Prussia, In the Earl of Claren don’s reply, there seems to be a sort of tacit admission of the view taken of the two doon- ments by Lord Clanriearde; at least, sowe may fairly infer from his paseing over in eilence the deductions drawn from them by the latter. We are, therefore, justified in adhering to the optn- ion we have so frequently expreased—that the adhesion of Austria and Prussia to the Wester® alliance is more of a constructive than of a posi- tive character, and may be renounced at any Rassia moment, without affording well-founded grounds for an accusation of breach of faith. In the meantime the inaction of the bellige- rents, and the little progress that has been as yet made towards enforcing the prof.ssed ob- jects of the coalition, clearly indicate that the latter are hokling off until they are assured of the active support of Austria and Prussia. They seem unwilling to drive matters to ex- tremes a8 long as this important and vital | question remains unsettled ; and as, from pre- | sen€ appearances, they seem as f.r removed | from it as ever, there would be nothing sur- | prising in the fact if failing to accomplish the purpose which they have so long been’ laporing | at, they were in the end to accept some new form of compromise suggested by the doubtful attitude of the two Powers. It is clear that, | notwithstanding the magnitude of their prepara- ' tions, and the confidence expreseel by their ' organs, neither England nor France have ‘any ' appetite for the contest’ in which they are en- gaged, and that they are’ already fully’ im- | pressed with the dangers to which a protracted | struggle, such as they will have to carry on without the aid of Austria and Prussia, must inevitably expose them. : The affair of the Black Warrior still remains in the came unsettled state. The Spanish gov- ernment are willing to refund the $6,000 fine imposed upon the owners, but they will not give up the previous fine levied upon the same verze], and also paid under protest. They are anxious to change the venue of the dispute to Washington, where they hope to get easier terms than from Mr. Soufé, and have accordingly sent out a special messenger, with instructions to that effect, to Senhor Ceuto. In the mean- while they are making active preparations for ibeglefence of Cuba, troops and munitions of war being either on their way or about to be despatched to that island. e The Address from the Municipal Reform Committee. After the experience of the reform Council we have had during the past few months, we hardly expected to hear any more of the Re- form Committee under whose auspices the present city charter was hatched and the last municipal elections carried. It isnot dead yet, however, as we learn from an address which ap- peared in our columns yesterday; and, what: is still more surprising, the gentlemen who com- pose the committee, far from mourning over the failure of their labors, actually congratu- late themselves and the oity on the “good that has been accomplished by the amended charter.” There is a French proverb which says that in the kingdom of the blind, one-eyed men are choren to reign; and it is possible to conceive a state of things compared to which even the anarchy and misgoverument of 1854 might look like improvement. But it needs a bold fancy to do anything of the kind. Ia almost every respect, New York has been as } badly governed during the past six months as it is possible to conceive. Tales of corruption have been less frequent than they were, per- haps; but it is by no. meaus equally cle.» that corruption itself has disappeared from the cor- poration. Inefficiency was never so couapicu- ous in every. department. On several occasious the public ecrvice has been brought toa positive stop, through the inability or unwillinguess of the municipal boards to discharge their duty. The streets have. been, and are still disgrace: fully dirty. Kora few weeks, during which a private citizen‘undertook to relieve the corpo- ration of this branch of its duties, we had one clean street, and the airin Broadway was pure. Genin had no sooner abandoned the broom than Dirt reasserted its sway, and the great ar tery of the city again resembled a cloaca. Th: debates in the boards .of Aldermen and Co cilmen have never been surpassed for frivoliiy @id childishness, Neither body has matured a single practical measure. Neither has achieved a single act by which it shall be remembered after its dissolution. Both.have trod faithfully in the footsteps of their predecessors: a shade purer in heart than they, perhaps, but atoning for their higher morality by a greater feeble- ness of will and inaptness of purpose. Such is the government whose“ operations,” says the municipal reform committee, “ have been salutary aid beneficial.” It must have cost Mr. Peter Cooper and his friends a seve @ pang, after this sanguine assertion, to ad: & that more might have been achieved under § famous reform charter. They do so, howeyes, and ascribing the accident to the election of party men instead of simple municipal re- formers to the oflives of Alderman and Councilman, deplore the “apathy” of the people of New York, who would not be guidedsby the commitice in making their selections of men to carry out ile provisions of the reform charter. There is here, we apprehend, some little diversity of opinion between the comuit- tee and ourselves. The former charge § faflure (which they regard ouly as partial) vi the charter on the apathetic manner in which the last elections were managed. We ascribe it on the contrary to the inherent faults of the charter itself. We admit with the committee that it would be far better to clect muaicipal officers without reference to party politics; bat as we see no chance of any such reform ever being realized, we do not lay so much siress upon jt as that highly respectable body. Ou the other haud, we do see a possibility of such a change being made in our city government as will egable it to work freely, harmoniously and with efficiency—that change being of course the adoption of the principle of the feder«l government, placing all the municipal offices in the patronageof the Mayor subject to the ratifi cation of the Board of Aldcrmen—and as we believe that this refurm would be far more use- ful and salutary than chimerical one pro- posed by the committee, we Should like them to hink itover while Gey ere ia tle refyruisg mood, and try if they cannot em’ o'y it ia ther address to the people. Tn point of faci, their charter, wh'ch was framed on the tingle principle of prevent- ing men from .sbepli tied the hands of our so completely that they could not move even in aa honest di- rection, They were forced to veatare to the very verge of illegality to cleay the str and at any day an emergency mig arise which they may again be nnable fo cope lu the very striogeut resirietioa sed their acts. It fa noto Tious that at the present moment half the acts of the Common Council are of doubtfal legali- ty in consequence of the harassing diMealties the charter throws in the way of legislation. Itis possible, we think, to #0 too far in the way of caution; and the charter of 1853, which as- sumed asa fundamental axiom that all the ra- lers of the city were ex officio thieves aad rob- hers, did perhaps go too far. Again, it must be perfectly obvious to the members of the re- form committee, that far higher efficiency 2 SS SE ANS BS oe ee Ee SAR able EBs a Did SA Ait ee hed Med hk alone, who never punish or judge rationally. | U | would be attained in the heads of departments MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.~ if they were responsible to the Mayor and lia- eer, ble to be discharged or suepended for mi-#on- | Typportamt Proceedings Concerning the Fire duct.

Report of committee concurring with the Councilmen to advertise for a house or jot for a station-house for Twenty-first ward, in the vicinity of aire street. to the eame office. Whether this is the usual practice of our municipal officers is not in question at present; it suffices us to know that it is their interest co to do. ~ Their interest | will continue to be diametrically opposed to ourg—and consequently we shall be badly go- verned—o long as they are irresponsible agents, dreading no dismissal, no account for their ad- ministration. Once let them one or all knuow that they hold their offices during good beha- viour, at the discretion of the Mayor, the latter being responsible for them to us, and there might be a chance of good government. But not till then. We commend the suggestion to Mr. Peter Cooper's friendly notice. His is no grateful task; when we see how little credit it has brought him, and how small a share of personal satisfaction he must have derived from the pre- sent progress of his labors, we are inclined to applaud his disinterestedness, and cheer on the band he leads. But their zeal must be turned into the proper channel. To clamor for the abolition of party elections or party distinctions | is futile; they will always exist; and wrong as it is, men have and will always preserve them. Let them forget utopias—which after all are but superficial minor evils—and strike at once at the root of the disease, the elective system— and they may then achieve something good | and great, SS —.
