Aug, 7, 1853. y z: f: K r"° m Mure, tak< „up fey ~e „ vrith the Intention „f P™/ y °°"" y °' m! ° f onr »»tollii, piace. 1 shall commence with our departure from Antwerp; for. if I remember rightly 1 I,!ft y° U T ,n that cit ? of churches an<J P LI ings. It was about half-past three, on a cold drizzly, disagro«ble morning, that we em-' barked on a stoker having an unpronounce able name, for Rotterdam. Of the f,r,t part of the journey I can say but little, for the cold and rain kept me below, and I, for want of something better to do, tnoozed away the time until we arrived at the Hr.llanri „i Where, the custom officers coming aboard''™ were compelled to go through the farce*f haying our luggage examined, after which a« the sun condescended just then to show hi* iace, I took a turn on deck to view the jace of the country—and a very flat face it was. The land, for the most part, seemed to be below the level of the river, and protected tromit by a very low bank covered with wil lows. lo prevent this bank from beinc washed away, some half-dozen rows of piles are driven in the river, which break the force cf the waves that are created by the paddles of the man} steamboats which are constantly passing up and down. The scenery, as you ninv well imagine, is far from interesting— water and marshy land not forming a very picturesque land-scape. Every now and then we passed a village, consisting of low brick houses with tiled roofs, and a brick church not possessing many pretensions to architec tural beauty. Every journey, however long and dull it may be, will be brought to afi end by con stantly paddling onward, and ours proved not to bo an exception to the general rule, since we arrived at Rotterdam about one o'clock, I'. M. Rotterdam,beyond itself,has not much to in terest a stranger. There is here a statue of the celebrated Erasmus, and the small house in which he was born. In the Cathedral, "groote kirk," are the monuments of the famous ad miral?, De Witt and Cortenaer. There is also a collection of paintings by Dutch mas ters, some oi which are excellent. The city itself, is, however, worthy of notice, being in point of population and commerce, the se cond city in Holland. It is completely cut up by canals, which nearly equal the streets in number. They are so deep that vessels of the largest burden can be brought to the very doors of the warehouses of their owners, and their cargoes discharged with very little trouble or expense. Innumerable draw bridges cros3 the canals, to allow the passage of vessels and afford a communication be tween different parts of the town. A walk through the town affords great amusement, and every thing is novel. The strange ming ling of canals and streets —shipping in the heart of a large city—the masts blending with the trees and chimneys—the drawbridges opening by the means of ponderous beams, which act as levers, carts running on sledges instead of wheels, with barrows of water in front, which is jerked out to moisten the pavements and thus lessen the friction. Wo men with wooden shoes, so large that they might well serve as substitutes for boats— the houses, with gable ends presented to the street, each with a little mirror in front of the windows, to give information to those inside, concerning the personal appearance of those who may be "knocking at the door,'' are only to be seen in a Dutch town. Rotterdam con tains about ?3,000 inhabitants, and carries on an extensive trade with the East Indies; it also has a large trade in provisions, much corn being brought down the Rhine from the interior of Germany, and much timber is also sent from the parts contiguous to that river. We remained in Rotterdam only long enough to see the town, and dine, and at 8 o'clock left for the Ilague, by railway. The appearance of the country between the two cities is flat land and water, and it is difficult to say of which there is the most. Grass seemed to be the staple produce, and very heavy crops must have rewarded the labor of the farmer this year, if a judgment can be formed from what I saw from the window.— Cattle, all of which are black and white, were also in abundance. The railway passes Schie dam, celebrated for its gin—the town is com pletely surrounded by wind-mills, which, by the way, compose one of the chief features of a Dutch landscape. In whatever part of Holland you may be, and in whatever direc tion yon turn your eyes, you will see some of these mills flinging their mighty arms about like giants having a milling match. They are made to answer all sorts of purposes. They grind corn, saw wood, beat hemp—and are also employed to drain the land. "There are nine thousand of these mills in Holland, and the annual cost of them is valued at 8,600,000 dollars." At a short distance from Schiedam, we passed Delft, the town in which William, Prince of Orange, was assassinated— from thence to the Hague is but a short ride. The Hague is the residence of the Court, and contains a population of about t>o,ooo. — Like Rotterdam it is intersected with canals, which are tilled with stagnant w*tw—for though nfif tUe sea, they do not empty into, on the contrary if there is any 1 urrent it is from it. To a stranger the odor from this water is very offensive. With this exception it is a beautiful city, and would be, I should think, a very pleasant residence. The objects to which strangers turn their attention are the Picture Gallery and Muse um ; the Gallery is almost entirely confined to the works of Dutch masters, and contains some of their finest pieces. The Museum con tains a very interesting collection of curiosi ties, among which are many articles from China and Japan; the latter especially are entertaining, as the Dutch are the only Eu ropean nation having communication with that country, and these collections, therefore, are the only ones in Europe. They give a good insight into the manners and habits of the Japanese, A plan of the Metropolis, Zeddo, of Japan, a model of the Island of Desima, the Dutch Factory in Japan, made by the Japanese, introducing several hundreds of figures, representing their occupations, the furniture of their houses, their dress, Stc., Sec. Among the historical relics is the dress of William of Orange, which he wore on the day he was assassinated, the pUtol used by the as sassin, and the fatal bullets. We visited the Palace, which contains a fine collection of paintings: the House of Parliament, which was in session, and heard a very good speech in Dutoh, from the minister of Marine. I say good speech, for such I suppose it must have bten, troin the close attention to which every member paid to it; I, of course, could not understand much. The Hall itself will uot compare with the Hall of Representatives of the State of Virginia —but the decorum ob served by the members might serve as a les son to o»;r worthy members. There was no reading of newsp'apers, eating nuts and ap ples, tailing with the nearest neighbor, or attending to any business which did not be long to the duties of legislation. On the con trary, every one paid attention to the words of the speaker, mid manifested, by their in terest, a becoming zeal in the welfare of the nation. The Bazaar is also an ohjeet of in terest, especially to ladies ; it is a sort of Gin ter establishment, and, in my opinion, does not rnueh surpass his splendid store: were it not for the collection oi Chinese and Japau * PRICE ONE"CENT. ne articles which are here to be bought it would not even equal it j but it is in a foreign city, and that circumstance gives it a charm which is very dear to the husbands and fath ers who venture therein with their wives and daughters. We being compelled to pass Son day in the Hagne. attended the English Chap el, where we heard a good sermon-, after church I had an excellent opportunity of wit nessing the parade of a Dutch regiment; they were fine looking, but they formed a line which Adjutant Harrison would have pro nounced anything but straight. After dinner we took a drive to Scheveningen, which is situated about three miles from town, on the sh ore of the North Sea. The road leading to it is through an avenue of noble old trees, which make a beautiful ride. It being Sun day, all the working classes were out in their best attire; the women, especially, attracted attention—they have a peculiar "head dress, consisting of a brass band, resembling a h«l --njet, with the top part knocked off, a cap, close fitting, covering it, while from the tem ples projected an ornamenfr resembling the articles which are used to support window curtains when they are drawn, and performed e same service for the caps.

The judges of the party said it was well worth it, and of course it was ; the or ganist thought we were English, and favored us with " God save the Queen," in a most beautiful style. The country between Hague and Amsterdam is pretty much the same as I have already described, only there was much more water. We arrived in Amsterdam in time for an early dinner, after which we sallied out to see the town. It is a curious and re markable city; the houses are all built on pile 3, and in consequence of their unstable founda tion, are inclined to all points of the compass, looking as if they had been drinking too much ot the ardent, and had become very boozy in consequence. But Amsterdan merits more attention than my time will allow—so for a short time, adieu. Speed of Railroad Trains.—ln the trial of Cfcas. 11. Comstock, the railroad conductor, which was still in progress 011 the 2oth, Professor Olmsted of New Haven, was called as a witness, and made the following statement, which may interest some of our readers. It gives some new elements from which to calculate the speed of a train: "I am professor of natural philosophy and astron- I omy of Yale College; some years' attention to the subject of Mathematics has made me familiar with the science; if the statements with reference to the distance which the locomotive leaped, and the dis tance from the rail to the water, were uniform, there would be no difficulty in ascertaining the speed of the train. "The professor, having been supplied with a black board, explained at great leugth and with clearness, the method of ascertaining the speed of the train. Assuming the draw to have been sixty feet wide, the surface of the water ten feet below the track, and the centre of gravity in the engine to have bee* fifteen feet from the front end of it, the speed of the train was 29 8-10 miles per hour." Since writing the above, we learn that the case of Comstock was concluded ou Monday, without con. victingthe conductor. The jury stood 9 for, and 3 agaiust conviction, and the Judge sent them to reconsider the case. Lightning and the Telegraph.—We men tioned, the other day, the death of a young lady at Canterbury, Conn., by lightning, which followed the telegraphic wires under which she was stand ing, for more than a mile, shattering the posts along the whole distance, and at last striking her. It seems that science will shortly be able to ward off such dangers for the future. " Mr. Rodger*, one of the superintendents of the House line, informs u rf that he has succeeded in maturing an invention which will accomplish the purpose. It consists mainly of a separate wire parallel with those of the telegraph proper; and connected with high con ductors at certain distances, which will lead the atmospheric electricity harmless to the ground. It is thought that the freedom from interruption of bu. tiness which will thus be secured, saying nothir." of the time which may be saved, will more thaii compensate for the expense of the improvement. Tunneling the Ohio.—The Louisville papers are discussing a very grand scheme: that of tunnel ling the Ohio for the purpose of forming a railroad connection between the Kentucky and Ohio shores. The idea is to hare a cast iron cylinder 15 feet indi oiufitpr. irai»od«I«:il o" rfio craar at lUe fa»B. its COSt is estimated at $330,000. This is an enterprise doubtful ia every way. Doubtful of accomplish ment, and doubtful as to the advantages it would confer. The descent on each side to the bed of the tunnel, would be an everlasting drawback to its use fulness. A I o&tune aiting.—A large legacy has been left the heirs of Thomas Gay, by friends deceased iu England. Thomas Gay married in Virginia, and died, leaviug an only daughter, whose children are supposed to reside in Virginia or Kentucky, and these arc the parties wanted. Mr. John Livingston, 157, Broadway, N. Y,, is the person who has the matter in hand. 1 hk Acapclco Route.—The New Orleans Pic ayune of Thursday, has despatches by Express over Ramsey's California route, iu twenty-five days. Mr. R. expects tc accomplish it in sixteen days. Shot Himself.—The Kashville (Tenn.) Gazette of the 24th, says that a man named George Kager went on the 23d, to the house of one Bagsby in Edgefield, and while in the house got into a quarrel with the proprietor, and was ordered out, but not starting, liagjby went for his gun- Meanwhile Ka' ger undertook to draw a pistol from hi* pocket, but in so doing, it went off, lodging a brace of balls in his own thigh. The wound is a very dangerous one.

FoBEaiGHT AND OlMNTXacSTXDintas.—lt u stat. Ed that aoen after the Cincinnati, Wilmington, and ZanesTille railroad was commenced, the companr authorized its president, Mr. P. Corwin, to proceed t «»d purchase iron for twenty miles of the work, and no more. He did so, and found the prtee of the iron ao low that he bought, on his own re sponaibility, sufficient for seventy miles more, and before the time had eapired for the delivery #f th« same, the price had advanced upon railroad iron at such a rate th at the amount he bought privately would realize him $300,000. Rather a handsome fortune. Mr. Corwin, however, recently handed over bis whole contract to the company, thusaacri ficiug $300,000 for the benefit of the road. Stabbing and Suicide.—A colored man named Hamilton, belonging to Dr. Hughes, of Newbern, but employed in Mr. Van Bokkelin's turpentine dis tillery at Wilmington, stabbed another negro on S and ay. In fear of being punished he jumped ifito the Cape Fear river and was drowned. The boy who was stabbed, was so little injured that he at tended the funeral of the drowned man! DRUGS, MEDICINES, &c.
