THE FIRE BRIGADE,

AN Inspection of the Police and Gaol Fire Brigade was last evening made by II. E. the Governor, and the crews were complimented on the willingness and zeni they displayed. So far so good, but this sort of inspection gees very little way - towards demonstrating the efficiency of the arrangements made by the Superin- tendent. At neither of the tires of recent occurrence has there been any want of engines or crews. The utricat zeal has been`shewn on both occasions by those who are indeed a vital portion ef the means of extinction at command, but are almost useless unless they are intel- ligently supplemented by other forces. If His Excellency desires to test the roat efficiency of the brigade, let him for sope one delegated to the duty), without Forts:aunouncing his intention previously, pro
