By the arrival of the steamship Vanderbilt at this port we have news from Europe to the afternoon of the 28th ult., four days later than previous advices. ‘The general intelligence is, however, of an unimpor- tant character. The British Parliament were engaged in discussing the bill relative to the India government. The election in Paris had resulted in the return of two overn- ment and one opposition member to the Le gislature. The markets exhibit no change of importance. The European mails to the 28th were shipped on board the City of Baltimore, which left Liverpool on the 28th, and may be expected to arrive tomorrow. The Vanderbilt brought 198 pas- sengers and $126,100 in specie. Anniversary week fairly commenced yesterday. The annual sermon before the New York Bible So-* ciety was preached last evening by Rev. Henry Anthon. Rey. J. B. Shaw, of Rochester delivered the annual discourse before the American Home Missionary Society. The anniversary of the Female 4nardian Society and Home of the Fricndless was held last evening. Kev. T. L. Cuyler preached the anoual sermon. Professor Shield, of Andover, de- livered the annual sermon before the Union Pheciogi- esl Society. Reports of the proceedings and dis- cones are published in to-day’s paper. A public missionary meeting was held last even ing at St. Thomas charch (iJpiscopal), at which ad dresses were delivered by the Rev. Mr. Wiley and Rev. Mr. Dennison, of this city, and by Rev. Mr. Rambo, and Rey. Mr. Hening, returued mission. aries from the coust of Africa. The St. P's Methodist Episcopal church, corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty-second street, was dedicated to Divine worship yesterday. Some par- ticular relative to the edifice, and wn account of the Gedicatory exercises, may be found clesewhere. The case of Cancemi was brought up in the Su- preme Court, general term, on Saturday last, when the counsel for the people moved that the indictment of the prisoner be carried down to the cirenit of the Court. After argument by counsel on both sides an order was entered in accordance with the motion. Sobsequently counsel for Canceimi moved that the prisoner ‘be discharged, on the ground that he had been kept in continement without a trial longer than the poriod allowed by law, but the motion was denied by the Court.

Heretefore we have all dealt too much in glittering geno realities about the Fire Department, and have appeared to be afraid of appreaching the real facte in the case. The department includes a force of five thousand men, having collectively great political and personal influence. They bave served the public well; their bravery and fidelity cannot be questioned. But they are not well organized nor properly governed. There is a Board of fire Commissioners who endeavor to do their duty aud punish the rowdies of that éepartment ; but some other power—the Chief Engineer or the Common Couucil—steps in and undoes all their work, The Chief Evgincer an- nounces that he will not allow the fire bells to be eiruck for falee alarms on the Sabbath, aad the Mayor proclaims that the head of the Fire Department hes no control whatever over the matter. The Cbief awakes suddenly to the consciousness that there haa been a great deal they are well founded. When we examine the motives which intiuence their proceedings, we can hardly wonder st their conduct. in the and that the governments are straggling, might ard maia, to prevent a rupture betecen the two countries, It is the old story of the eniente cor- of fighting and rowdyism in the department during the past fifteen or twenty years, and | ov fitted out in our ports., Pork was in fair demand, with | professions to positive tests, is this coun- | ing. The reason is that our public liake of Louis Philippe’s time revived afresh. Monsieur Guizot's description of the incessant struggle that was waged, during his ministry in France between himself and the British government on the one side and the British aud French peoples on the other, the govern ments of both countries trying to keep the peace between them, while the rank and file of the two nations were frantic for war—this descrip- tion, old as it is, will answer admirably for the contest now pending in Europe. These Maro- pean journals which believe or affect to believe, thai the Emperor Napoleon meditates a treach- erous attack upon his ally, and is secretly con- triving the rain of the alliance, are evidently in error: experience and common sense are alike conclusive against suclfa theory. The Empe- ror, like the British government, desires peace: it is the masses in both countries which are clamorous for war. ‘The reason is exceedingly simple. In addi tion to the hereditary national prejudice which inepires hatred between the two nations, there are at this time great antagonistic priociples involved in the political institutions of the two countries, and short as is the distance between them and rapid the transmission of intelligence from one to the other, so long as those princi- ples continue to be antagonistic they will be a source of perpetual disturbance between them. ‘The French have their smn? bonum, which is glory; the Hogtish theirs, liberty. Each of these is paramount in the minds of its respec- tive adherents: the Frenchman will sacrifiee everything, even liberty, for glory; the English- man will yield eyen glory for liberty. A Freneh- man’s dearest wish is to fill the world with the noise of his exploits, to trample some foreign people under foot, and to seize their land; so he achicves these ends, he will not grumble cven though, om his return home, he first place, the prize money resulting from these captures is, in itself,a strong temptation—an active oficer employed in this service, if he is at all lucky, being able to make a very good thing out of it. In the next, be knows that he is rendering # direct service to his government by what otherwise might be considered an excess of vent. All the slaves captured by him are transferred to the British West Ludia colo nics, nominally as free laborers, at the small cost of $25 a head, and thus Great Britain sustains her character for philanthropy, re- Pairs the mistake that she has rode in emancipating her colonial slave population, throws every sort of impediment and obstruc- tion in the way of American commerce, and then coolly sets herself to lecturing us on our indif. ferenes to the interests of humanity ia not Kkecopiag a stricter watch over the slavers built Now, without stopping to establish the fact that the majority of the vessels engaged in this trade are built in the Northern and not in the Southern States, that they are owned principally by foreigners, and that we are not responsible for the practices of the persons to whom we sell our ships, it will be permitted to us to say that if England and Srasce were as much in earnest to put down this traflic as we are, it would long since have been extinguished. The only country by which ivis in reality carried on is Spain, and as there is a special conven- tion on the subject with that government, all that would be necessary would be for the nations interested in putting a stop to it to insist on Spain shutting her Cuban ports against the admission of negroes.

Here are all these authorities clashing and quarrelling together, and the firemen takiag advantage of the imbroglio to kick up as many rows a6 they plonee. Our streets on Sundeys are filled with howling, ehouting crowds of men and rattling engines, tearing about for no purpose whatcver except the annoyance of peaceable people. We are very well aware that it is claimcd—and no doubt truly claimed—that the rowdies are not regular members of the department, but “runners” or hangers on. Tlow easy it woul@ be for each company, were its members so inctined, to purge itself of this nuisance! But no, the evil is too deep, and the good men in the department know it. The sys- tem is a bad one—the department is badly or- ganized. There are too many Governors, and too little obedience from the governed. The only remedy for all this anarchy is the reorga- nization of the Fire Department upon the pay system. The experience of Boston, Cincinnati and other places, where it has been tried, shows that it saves time and money, and disintegrates a dangerous political element. We want a re- gular paid fire police, such as those of London and Paris. When we get it—and it must come sooner or later—we shall learn how to prevent fires, as well as how to extinguish them; and we shall save our credit and our money at the same time. One-quarter of the present force, picked, paid men, under a chief responsible alone to the Mayor, would be an ample fire brigade for the city. Why will not the Common Council ap- point a committee to inquire and report upon the fucts of the ease? Who will move for such inquiry? Tux Last Fasmovay ASON AT Wise invron.-We are told by the Jenkinsex of the small papers at the cwpital that the season | which has just closed was one of more than usual brillianey—whieh means that there were more bulls,. dianers, routs, and so on, where they could smuggle themselves in under protec- tion of some friendly crinolive. Washington | society is « curious medley of all that is good, bad and indifferent, from every t of the Union. Some people come to get places: some are in pursuit of contracts and lobby jobs some in search of rich wives; some to repa broken fortune with « wealthy husband. AU are secking for some selfish end; and those who are the most successful are generally the great est rascals, One curious feature in Washington society this winter has been the union of all the chevalicve @induetrie, the tights of the lobby, the place lnntere and the match makers, upon the common ground of the bal conumé, which has been the favorite entertainment. These fancy balls are sometimes given to help along some lobby job in Congress, sometimes to forward « Hirtation, and sometimes to make a gi show which shall outdo everybody else. The chief feature of the affair, however, is the Chevalier Jenkins, who earns his bit of supper and gliss of wiue by elaborate descriptions of all the cos- tumes. with the points of the wearers. and tre mendous puils for the givers of the feuste. To those who d» wot understand the hidden ob- jects of these fancy balls, they seem to be sim ply gatherings of « large number of snobs vainly endeavoring to be gay: but Jenkins knows what it is done for. aud confidently cx- peets a share of the drippings of the pan. The lobby seizes upon fashion and frivolity to work out its plons, and that is the true secret of most vf the prond entertainments given at Washing- ton during the past winter.
