Tho éx- ‘periment of a paid fire department had before been Tally demonstrated a success; but when Commis- * sioners Hennessey, Blair, Gallaway, Shaler and Hitch- ‘men assumed the direction of affairs they found ample opportunities for improvement. During their term of service they have largely increased the ‘morale: of the force, by weeding out, after convic- tion, the worthiess members, and inspiring the command with a desire to excel in watchfulness, courage and all the other qualities that go to make ® model fireman. ‘The work of extending the fire alarm to al! parts of the city has been a severe tax upon the time and patience of the commission; but Its members have . Overcome all obstacles, and, probably, New York an, on this Ist day of Jauuary, 1871, boast ef nay- ing the BEST EQUIPPED AND MANAGED FIRE DEPARTMENT fm the world. The Commissioners have just cellected data of the year’s business, and the results shown are most gra- titying. They declare that in assuming the charge of the Gepartmeut they nave endeavored to retain the most rigid discipline, and have been actuated by a conviction that @ full paid fire department, to be effective and reliable, must be organized, sciected and controlied with reference to its availability in the public service. The oMcers and men were nearly all members of the old fire department and Dave become thoroughly disciplined in their duties. By the RIGID WEEKLY TRIALS @f men it Is believed that ail, or nearly all, of the drones have beer driven from the force, and those ‘who remain may be considered as the veterans of the organization. The admission of new members ‘under thirty-five years of age has been only afier critical examination as to thelr physical and moral Atness for the duties required of them. Dismissals ave been made im all grades, from district enzi- meer to private, solely upon the evidence. The Eoard’s object is to give to the citizens of New York, in return for the expenses of the department, a fire @epartment without its superior to render any ex. tensive conflagration simply impossible, and to : ATTACK ANY ORDINARY Fh ri ‘with such rapidity that It must be checked before it thas time to spread, The Commissioners find that the rapid growth of Yhe north side of the city renders an addition to the force at the upper end of the tsland a matter of ne- cessity. At the present in the district between Fifty- Dinth street and Kingsbridge there are but eight HALF PAID COMPANIES. "They propose to substitute for them full companies, to be located, two on the east side and one on the ‘west side, with steamers and all appliances, to quench fires in those rapidly growing districts, To accomplish this will considerably increase the itom of expenses for next year; but the Commissioners Will not hesitate to assume the responsibility, trust- img to the generous support of the public, FIRES, Alive to the fact that the paramount duty of the Wepartment is the prevention and suppression of fires the Commissioners from the outset have im- pressed upon thelr oficers and men the im- erative duty of waicnfulness and prompt- ness in their respective positions. In eelcrity of action, atteded with coolness, method and alertness on the partof the force, they Delicve, consists the safety of the property of the citizen, and in nearly every case, however formida- Die, the threatened conflagration, they have been able. by being promptly on the spot, to cope with the ames bejore they could spread beyond the bullding in which they originated. The prompt action of the cempanies, ana the fact that they nave thetr horses harnessed, men in position and fires Lighted in from 14 to 22 seconds from the time the arm ts sounded, affords no time fer a conflagra- tion to gain hcadway, HALF PAY. ‘The Board will likely suggest at some futare time Jegisiation securing the retirement of old and valua- ble members upon baif pay. This, it is believed, ‘Would be an additional! ncentive to the men to per- form the!r duties faithfully and fearlessly, TRE ALARM TELEGRAPH. f The Commissioners lock with pride to the success of the new experiment, the fire alarm telegraph. The system introduced under a contract with Messrs. C. W. & J. N. Chester 1s completed and ready for use throughout the tstand. is now in use below Fourteenth strect only, and is claimed to The cost of the very complete, so far as testéd. troduction of this excellent system, which already hus proved a great means of preventing the spread of fire, is about $500,000, and an additiena) appro . will be require? to We baer the claim of he contractors. When it is in operation through- mt the entire city it 1s believed that the decrease in loxzes will be still more marked, Nearly all the — Gres occurring tuis year have been abdve Four- th street, where the box alarm system is mot Yet io operation. THE CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPORT. John L. Perley, Chief Engineer, in his report places the tote! number of fires at 964 and the estimated Joss $2,129,212, which, compared with the previous Jeay, shows &n inercaae of 114 fires and a diminu- Yion to joss of $506,151. During the year 74 new hydrants have been placed in diferent parts of the city by the Department of Pablic Works, of which @3 have been located in Carmansville, and with a govd pressure of waler—an advantage not before sessed at that town. The services of the fire- oat John rT have only been called into requist- tion on two o jlons—the first on the packet ship William F. Storer, and the iast at 118 and 120 Maiden lane, occupied as a etorage for gasoline. ‘The engl- heer recommenda more stringent legislation as to he storage of this dangerous and infammabie com- Pouud, aud all oiuers of a combustible and explo- Bive Character.

Peepers ap EE ape a The Work of the Mepartsient During the Yeat—Thirty-three Miles of Sewers Butlt= ‘Thirteen Mile: { Streets Repaved—Miscel- Inneons Work. William A. Fowler, President of the Board of Water and Sewerage Commissioners of brooklyn, submitted a lengthy report yesterday, showing the work accomplished by the Board during tke past year and what has been done with the money. In regard to the construction of sewers he says:—De- mands from the property holders in all parts of the city for the CONSTRUCTION OF SEWERS have been frequently made and strongly urged, but, in complying with such demands, care has been taken to select socalittes in which the greatest and most immediate needs have been apparent. Where sewers have been constructed during this time the work has been done under contracts awarded in every cast to the lowest responsible bidder, and it is gratifying to know that the discrimination and watchfulness of the Board and the faithfulnees of its snips have secured the thorough execution of such contracts. More than thirty-three miles or sewers, draining immense sections of tho city, have been thus constructed this year, but frequent appll- cations continue to be made at this Office for the building of other sewers, and the demand has not yet been even approximately supplied. Mr. Fowler then gives a list of the streets through which the sewers have been constructed and the coat ofeach, The total cost was $908,033, Last year, the Board uaving determined to repave Fuiton avenue, from Fulton street to Bedford ave- nue, adistance of about two and one-quarter miles, with improved material, selected the Guidet stone pavement for that purpose, and about one-quarter of @ mile of the avenue was so paved vefore the close of the year, at a cost of $28,993, including curbs, gutters and crosswalks. During the present year the remaining two miles of the avenue have been so repaved at a cost of $319,061, making the total cost of repaving the avenue a distauce of two and a quarter miles $248,055, The following is a RECAPITULATION ee work done by the Board since December 31, 23,27 miles of sewer bullifOr.....+..+..0054 $908,333 Two miles of Fulton avenue repaved with Guiget stone, curbed, gutvered and cross. walked, for........-.++ ‘ ++ 819,061 Four miles of streets repaved with im- proved material, curvea, gutterca and crosswalked, for.. eees sees 841,308 Five and three-quarter miles of streets re- paved wita cobble stone, curbed, gut- tered and crosswalked, for. 77,879 Two bundred and eighty-live streets, re- PAINS Made, [OF.....2..2..0006 24,872 Street cleaning, first six months. 50,296 Street Cleaning, second six months. 56,896 Total amount expended. eee $1,771,846 “ARMY FNTELLIGENGE. —* The following officers haye been honorably dis- —Captainy—W.

YoronaMa, Nov. 24, 1870, The expeditioh of Commodore Perry having paved thé way for Aniérican commercial relations with Japen, that country sent té the United States in 1852 an Embassy to strengthen the friendly relations which had so auspiclously commenced between the two nations, At that time our country was well represented by Mr. Harris, whose popularity with the Japanese government and people placed us on the most favored footing in all the dealings of that country with foreigners. American influence was second to nene, if it was not greater than any other. Then only one or two ports were open to commerce, and those were under severe restrictions, Now some seven or eight of the principal ports of the Empire are open to the ships of the world, among them the capita. Yeddo and Yokohama, Hiogo and Nangasiki are on the direct line from San Francisco to China. Yokohama, the commercial centre of Japan and the residence of foreign Minis- ters, was then hardly in existence, whereas at pre- sent her shipping list rans from fifty to a hundred, including every nationality. Jeddo, the capital, which was then visited only by special permit, and then under @ guard of government troops, is now inhabited by foreigners, and daily lines of stages and steamers ply between there and Yokohama, But if there 1s striking change in the commercial aspect of the country there has been no less a change im political affairs, and it soon becomes evident to any one who remains a short time in Jeddo or Yeko- hama that this change has been detrimental to American. mterests; in fact to the interests of all foreigners, except the English, or a few who may be so fortunate as, by toadyism or coalition, to gain the influence of the British Minister. We venture to assert that the exceptions are few. HOW THE CHANGE WAS BROUGHT ABOUT. ‘When the present British Minister, Sir Harry Parkes, was sent to represent England in Japan, he was dissatisfied with their style of government, and set to work to build up one more to his liking. This 1s the plain English of the matter. Until this time the Japanese had two rulers, the spiritual an@ the temporal. The Mikado was the head of the spiritual and the Tycoon the nead of the temporal aifairs, The Mikado, being at the head of spiritual affairs, was looked upon by the Japanese as too sacred to con- cern himself with earthly matters, which were en- trusted to the Tycoon. For a pretext to commence his work 8ir Harry Parkes declared that his Queen was second to no sovereign on earth, that she com- bined Church and state, and that he would hold in- tercourse with no second ruler. In every country there are ambitious men ready to sell their country for position. For many years the Prince of Satsuma, and others in the south of Japan, had at times defied the general government. They had rum in debt purchasing arms, keeping large armies and buying ships, and were now short of fends to keep up their armament, while their fol- lowers were restless and turbulent. Sir Harry Parkes was too shrewd a man to lose such an oppor- tunity. They were supplied with all the newest implements of war and became the avowed leaders of a party to abolish the office of Tycoon and estab- lsh and imperial government with the Mikado as head of Church and State, Be this account as to the manner in which the coalition was formed against the old government exactly true or oniy approximately so (for there are always differences of opinion on such subjects) certain it is that the princes namea arrayed them- selves against the long established government of the country and in favor ef the form “suggested”? yy Sr Henry Parkes. Let suxsequent events say woes he was their instigator, adviser and sup- Ts i SECOND EMBASSY T) THE UNITED STATES. About the time these troubles commenced, there was another Eimbassy sent to this country. It seems that @ large amount of money had been placed 1n the hands of the then United States Minister to Japan, for the purchasing of ships for that govern- ment, There are many statements maze both as to the amount and what became of it. Seme say the whole sum was duly accouated for, walle others as- sert that the amountin gold was held several years— the Minister recelving the interest thereon—ana then ie gmount received in gold was refunded in reenbacks. Be these statements as they ree the japanese government felt itself aggrieved and sent this second Embassy to Washington to regain their money or an equivatent. The result was that the Confederate ram Stonewall was turned over to the Japanese, and an American ofiicer allowed to take her oat to Yokohama. ‘This was in- tended as the amende honorable which wag due the Japs, the oil that was to calm the troubled waters caused by @ dubious handling of ships. It proved to be the worst thing that ever happened for oar old allies in Japan, ior with her the English party have crushed out the last opposition to their will, This vessel Cin | been dwy transferred to the ambassadors the Japanese flag was hoisted. Some contend that full payment had not been made on her arrival in Japan; but that matters not; the government had satisiactory security for payment, and could easly have enforced it. The ship became Japanese when we allowed her to hoist their flag. She sailed out to that country as a Japanese ship, being received as such wherever she touched. At Honolulu she was short of fands and coal, was sup- ok by the governmentas a Japanese ship, and the japanese government subsequently thanked the government of the Sandwich Islands for the courtesy. HER ARRIVAL IN JAPAN. By the time she reached Japan the great revoln- lon was at its crisis, The new arms supplied by the English and their military advice had enabled their party to advance near the capital. The arrival of the Stonewall was anxtously watched tor by our old friends, the government party, who beiteved she would counterbalance the advantage given their enemies by the. more improved firearms, At last the Stonewall arrived and anchored at Yokoh: with the Japanese flag flying, and having on boar the ambassadors sent by the government still in possession at Jeddo, and who had been for hundreds of years. No sooner had she anchored than Japanese officers were aboard to take charge m the name of the government that bought her, and reheve the American commander. But that was not to be, The American Miister ordered the commander to haul down the Japanese figg and hoist the Ameri- can fag. The American adimiral was calied on for 8 force, and the Stonewall was held until the end of the conttict, when she was delivered up to the victo- rious (English) party. Many in Japau believe that had she been promptly given up to the legitimate fovernment the result of the war would have been dinerent, It is stated that the Secretary of State disapproved the course of the Minister, but it was tou late to remedy the matter. Ihe war was over and Sir Harry Parkes was triumphant. KUMORED TREACHERY ON PART OF THE BRITISH MINISTER, Some of the friends ‘of the then United States Minister give the following excuse for him. ‘They gay that on the arrival of the Stonewall sir Harry Parkes visited him and stated that he (Sir Hai was daily expecting the arrival of two iron-clads irom England for the revolutionists, and said that if the Stonewall was given ap z. the goverament party he would have to give up the two that were soon to arrive to the revoiutionisis. He thom went on to point out that a terrible conflict would ens in which one side, of course, would come out vic- torious and the pessessor of tne three iron-clads. ‘The victors, he said, would be incensed against the Americans or the EngiJsh according as they had act in handing pxer tee %y ships, apd wonld Certainly Avege thenbbetves by the tndke criminate slaughter ot the two nationalities, there being no British or American naval force gain it to prevent. He, t! ore, asked Géntral Van nike enburg, our Minister, to hold the Stonewall til the end of the contest, pledging himself, on the arrival of the two ships he expected, to hol. them in the same way, thus preserving a fair neutrality. Our Minister acquiesced, but 1t egal @ faise and bare device on tke part of Sir Harry Parkes to aid the revolutionisis, and no sigu of iron clads ever ap- peared nor evidence that they were contracted for. If this account is true, our Minister was pardon- able for assuming great responsibility under such rave circumstances; but the astonisting part was is subsequent friendly and oficial Intercourse with the British Minister, which was continued without interruption. If the conduct attributed to the British Minister is true, he shouid have been openly exposed and never more associated with by our representative. After the capiure of Jeddo, the boy Mikado (who Was in reality a prisoner) was duly installed and the organization of tho new régime commenced, Not only had gratitude to the British Minister made him the “power behind the throne,’’ but that astute and energetic diplomatist had secured himself in post- ton in another way. While seelug that they ob- talued the means of carrying on the war, he took care to get such guarantees as would place the new government iu his power after their success and inake them 1n a great measare dependent upon bin for some time to come, If they show a disposition to rebel against demands he can suggest an im- meutate seitiement with the English firms that ad- vanced them their five or six millions. If they need anew loan can obtain it by coramniteing, Som selves still er to his views. Even the it desire to break with it would be poasibie to do so until they had the moult? metas in Se Westen ent a ized of their currency.

PRINCE KAGA, During the revelution there was one prince who refused to parulelpate in t—remaining neutral and husband! mu He has always been noted for his commercial enterprise and dislike for War. With his great wealth and large army he censidered that he held the balance of power, and therefore turned a deaf ear to all proposals trom either ty. Mis sympathies were With the van- quished Northerners, however, and when after the fall of Jeado he saw them one by one disarmed and placed beyond hope of renewing the contest, he seems to have become aware of his mistake and deubted his own security. AS it @ naval hero of Japan, Ennomoto, had reniafned {n quiet possession of the island of Yesse, th the north of the empire. Though the war was mnsid\ anead, and the Stonewall bad been the new government, te and the islanders of Yesso be had hela his own, refus- ing to subscribe to the new régime, hile the government was preparing to crush him a last attempt was made at Niagatt, on the northwest coast, te renew the contest with Ennomo- to as anally. The Prince of Kaga moved in that di- Tection with his army, evidently intending to throw his sword in the scale against the government, but the latter was toe prompt in its movements, and Kaga, seeing the attempt suppressed, prudently re- treated to his dominions and remained quiet. The governunent now turned its attention to En- nomoto at Yesso. A naval force, headed by the Stonewall, now in the hands of the new govern- ment, carried up the picked men of the empire, armed with Spencer and Henry rifes, Wore wo these, Ennomoto had a small, but faithful force, But for the Stonewall he would have controlled the ope- rations afloat, and by cembining with Kaga and other malcontents, might have renewed the struggle with good prospects 0} success. AS it Was he had to withdraw his fleet under the protectien of nis Torts and await the attack. ENGLISH ASSISTANCE AGAIN. Of course all neutral oificers were allowta to in- pm the fortifications, it be understood that they were in honor bound to Naive no information that would be injurious to the parties extending such a privilege. This rule an Engilsh commander (one of great popularity and good standing, too,) ald not scem to consider himaeif bound by. He stated to the attacking party, after inspecting the workg to be taken, that if he nad to attack the works he would do so 2nd 80. A hint to the wise was suftl- cient, The attack was made just as he would have. made it, and it succeeded. This placed tne entire couctry in the hands of the present government by August, 1869, ‘ faving put down’ all armed opposition ana secured the armies lately opposed to them, the new autnoricies called on Kaga to explain why he made that mysterious move towards Niagatl Being unable to give satisfactory explanations, he has had a fine of something tike $700,000 @ year imposed on him for seven years. Unable to resist, he had to leld tye last obstacle te the will of the powers that Thus it is that with the assistance of the English and through the blindness ef other diplomatists three or four princes have entirely changed the political institutions of the country and now keep down B DeORIe. elght-tenths of whom at least are in favor of the old government and hate their pre- sent rulers, Such was the position of affairs when our new Minister, C. E. de Long, arrived in the fall of 1809. | 1t was almost the open boast of the English that their Minister could do as he tiked with the government, and it was but too true. The part he had played in making the new government naturally made him their con- fidential adviser, while their pecuntary obligations, contracted through him, make him in a measure their dictator, Not only does be control most of the appointments made from foreigners by the Japanese government, but, in one instance at least known to the writer, has demanded the withdrawal of the appointment of an American, and his de- mands were heeded. Our new Minister seems to be a man of ene and quick perception. In his very tirst letter to the home government, which was published, he warned them that events were rapidly transpiring in the East that would have an tmportant and permanent bearing on our interests, and ealled on the government to give its Minister more power and latitude to act. In the same letter he asked that the mission be raised toa first c) ee gue, and drew upon himself thereby the 6arcasin of some cditord. But a little reflection will show the importance of his suggestions, In the old and settled state of affairs in Europe, at least in so far as making treaties with us is concerned, nothing Js likely to occur of importance concerning our com- mercial interests, or if it should the Minister ig within telegraphic communication of Washington. In Japan and China it 1s very different. Afairs are constantly changing in those countries, requir- ng prompt pone een and good ae eupt di able men are goes. ‘Oae negligent réj efentatttd he Dine coltitr! id oe Phyo away in a Week advantages that it had re- FA red years to acquire, and, not being able to hear rom hemo under three months, the damage coald not be repaired. The position of Minister to Japan we imagine not to be iree from annoyances. ‘fe American popula- tion there; and especially in Yokohama, is compésed Of people who look only to their own interests. and Tarely Stop to remember that a Minister’s position 1s above partisanship; that, while it is his duty to protect them in all their rights, he is at the same ime in honor bound to exact nothing for them which is prejudicial to the rights of the people of the country. There are many Who Have claims fay bore the government who would consider the Minister a ‘‘trump” if he enforced them, whereas if he should consider them unjust and refuse to sustain them he would be the worst of men ond Ministers. From @ few months’ observa- tion we were impressed with the belief that Mr. ae Long is & man of ability and un- doubted integrity, inspired solely by the praise- worthy ambition of securing the interest of his country. From the facts we have stated we a one can soon gain the ground lost during the last ten yeurs; but we have reason to know that several tilts have come offin which our representative was not second best,and we are hopeful of a vetter state of atfairs. It is customary for the foreign representatives to meet the Japanese Foreign Minister and discuss in a body ‘questions or neral interest to foreigners. If rumor is not at fault the new American Minister bas had the audaci- ty to ca‘l attention to some clauses of treaties that the British Minister would like to ignore, and let it be known that rights given us by treaty should not be infringed upon. Whatever the motive that prompts it, whether fear or malice, the organ of Sir Harry Parkes has been systematically abusing our Minister since his arrivalin Japan. We dislike to believe it, but it 1s coniidently asserted by many that a member of one of the first American houses in Japan owns an interest in this journal. But even with the animosities engendered by the war, the demoralized s.ate of the currency, and the numerous othcr calamities incidental to such a war, he Japanese peopie are making good progress to- ward enlightenment, One of tne chief characteristics of these people is their thirst for knowledge. proof of this is found in the large number of the wealthier ciasses who have recently come to this country to be educated, among them an uncle of the Emperor himself. The nobles mix more freely with foreigners and show a praiseworthy de- sire to unitate them in all that is worth learning.
