MONDAY MORNING, SEPT. 15, 1834.
Alexandria Canal.—We are pleased to learn
that the Engineers employed in the construc
of the Potomac Aqueduct, to connect the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal with the Alexan.
drift Canal, succeeded on Friday evening in
clearing the dam entirely of water. The brac
ing is now in progress, and this week the dredg
* machine will be put in operation to clear
* the mud. So far, entire success has crown
ed the efforts of those employed upon this high
ly important work.
The Masonry of the Road Arches at Four
Mile Run, on the line of the Canal, is advancing
rapidly towards completion—the Arches being
already turned, and the Centres will be remov
ed in the early part of this week. This is con
sidered a very substantia! and excellent piece
of work.
By the meeting of Congress, we hope to see
two Piers of the Aqueduct completed, as well
a. (he work at Four Mile Pvun. An earnest will
thus be given of the energy and perseverance
with w hich Alexandria will prosecute this, to
her so essential improvement, when aided, as
she’ought to be. by the Government, which is
now her legal Protector and Guardian.
M,ink Election!—As" was anticipated, this
State has gone for Jackson. Mr F. O. J. Smith
has been re-elected to Congress from I ortland,
over Mr. Churchill, the Whig candidate. Mr.
Dunlap is probably elected Governor, beating
Mr. Sprague.
The Jackson majorities have been consideia
biy diminished. The Whigs have gained in the
State Legislature. \\ e state these general re
sults to-day, being the accounts furnished by
last Saturday’s mail. To-morrow we shall be
enabled to give accurate details.
Vermont Election.— The State Election in
Vermont has resulted auspiciously for the cause
of the Constitution. The House of Representa
tives will consist of 6G Anti-Masonic Whigs, 40
Whigs, and 22 Jack.^on-men—nearly five to
one!. Owing to the ill-advised, and worse than
useless separate organization of the Whigs in
that State, there will be no choice of Governor
by the people; but Governor Palmer, who is a
Whig Anti-Mason, w ill be re-elected by the Le
gislature. The same cause has prevented the
choice of three, certainly, and perhaps four of
the five members of Congress. Mr. Slade, an
Anti Masonic Whig, is re-elected.
New Jersey.—The assemblage of the Whig
State Convention of New Jersey, on Wednes
day last, was the largest gathering of the People
there since the political revolution of ’93. Over
1000 delegates were in attendance, representing
every township and county in the State, and
more than 2000 Whigs participated in the pro
ceedings of the meeting.
Gen. Matlack, of Gloucester, presided. The
meeting was organized in the open air. The
State House and the Methodist Church (which
was politely offered f>r the occasion,) were not
large enough to contain one-half present. At
the unanimous call of the people, Mr. Senator
Southard, and Colonel John G. Watmough, of
the 3d Congressional district of Pennsylvania,
were requested to attend the Convention. Ow
ing to other engagements, Col. VV. was prevent
ed from addressing the people. Mr. Southard
addressed the Convention at large upon the
deplorable condition of the country; the gross
usurpation of the Executive; the utter prostra
tion of the Constitution and Laws, &c. &c.
The following ticket for Congress was selected
with great unanimity:
Wm. B. Pennington, of Essex,
Dr. Lewis Condict, of Morris,
Oliver Wayne Ogden, of Hunterdon,
Joseph F. Randolph, of Monmouth,
Dr. Spencer, of Burlington, and
Mr. Reeves, of Cumberland.
Convent Rioters.—The Grand Jury of Mid
dlesex assembled at Concord on Monday. The
Justices have returned twelve presentments to
the Grand Jury, of persons implicated in the
burning of the Nunnery. A great number of
witnesses have been summoned. The examina
tions will probably occupy the Jury the whole
week. A man by the name of Sargeant Blais
dell, a brickmuker in the employment of Kel
ley, (now in prison.) was arrested on Wednes
day last, and after an examination before Jus
tice Buttrick, of East Cambridge, bound over
for trial in the sum of $1000. Committed for
«want of sureties.
Cholera—The Cholera declined again in
New York on the 11th inst. On that day there
were only 19 deaths.
Great complaints are made against Steam
boat Racing on the North River.
As we expected, the batteries of the Adminis
tration have opened upon Mr. McLane, the late
‘>cretary of State. He is accused in the Penn
sylvanian of intriguing for the Presidentship.
r. McLane, before long, will be villainously
abused. We have all along anticipated the
commencement of hostilities. And why should
he be spared, more than Ingham, Branch, Ber
rien, Calhoun, Archer, McDuffie, and every
other prominent man who has quitted the
party” in dig^ust.
A T. DIED,
Toronto, of cholera, Mr. Robert Heron,
aged 24 years. On being taken to the Hospital,
an interesting young woman, to whom he was
•WHit to be married, applied for permission to
see him, declaring she was his sister. She was
admitted, and kissed the dying youth, showing
rouch affection for him. Three hours after
Uar-3 she was brought into the same hospital,
orcholera, aud her pillow is now the cold grave.
DUTCH SCENES AND COSTUMES. ]
The pleasant sketch which follows is from th<*j
European correspondence of the Albany Even
ing Journal. This series of letters is full of in
teresting matter, of an useful and authentic cha
racter:
Nobody quits the league without visiting Sehe
velin, and glad am l that I did not. Schevelin
is a small town upon the «ea shore, distant
about three miles from the Hague. The road is
paved with fine brick, and its whole length pas
ses through a grove affording an avenue in a
straight line. The little town is the fashionable
resort for bathing and enjoying the sea breezes,
but the most important part of its business is the
supplying fish for the inhabitants of the Hague.
Its inhabitants, almost without exception, retain
the peculiar dress and appearance of several
centuries past The commerce between the
Hague and Schevelin is principally carried on
by women, who, in their ancient short gowns
and petticoats, with broad old fashioned straw
hats, carry the fish in baskets upon their heads,
and return with provisions and other articles for
i their families. Thus, in passing from theHague
| to this curious town, you see the contrast com
i pletely between modern luxury and fashion, and
: the simplicity which has known no change for
' centuries. But you would be surprised at the
1 display of massive unornamented gold front
j lets, combs, and earrings, worn by. the people
j who you might else suppose adhered so pertina
1 ciously to their by-gone fashion from motives of
economy. Nothing can be further from the
truth than this last supposition. It is the distinc
i tion of castes; the pretty little Dutch girl is as
: proud of her neat dress, antique as it is, and set
otfby her massive gold ornaments, as the proud
est dame of the Hague is ol her apparel, in the
latest Parisian mode.
I The fishermen of the Hague are of two class
! es; those who carry their fish baskets upon their
heads, and those who drive tlieircarts. Of these
j little carts we met scarcely less than an hund
red, all drawn by dogs, which generally seemed
docile and tractable; although we were amused
by one team of baulking animals, which snarl
ed and snapped at the whip, as they crouched
under Us blow. The conclusion of this scene
was quite characteristic. There were three
dogs in the harness. One of them at length in
dicated a disposition to submit, but as soon as
he offered to proceed, his two yoke fellows turn
ed upon him, and wreaked upon him their re
venge for the success of their master, who was
a little boy twelve years old, and rode in the
cart whilst his mother walked at its side.
The little village of Schevelin was, in its neat
ness and its wealth, the perfect contrast of all
other fishing towns.
The children all attend school, and a more
singular group you cannot imagine thou these pe
tite Misses, dressed in precise imitation of their
grandmothers! We drove through the town to
the sea shore, where we looked with perfect as
tonishment at the results of the immense labor
which had been expended in erecting dykes, of
! such height and solidity as to resemble natural
hills, to resist the flood of the ocean. There are
on the sea shore a royal pavillion and a beauti
ful and well furnished hotel.
| Having walked upon the beach and collected
some shells as souvenirs, we returned to the Ha
gue and visited the Royal Museum, which con
tains several chambers filled with most curious
and interesting collections. Several apartments
are filled with presents from the Emperor of
China, and other curiosities from that country,
obtained by merchants in the course of com
merce. Other apartments are furnished in a
similar manner and with curiosities similar
ly obtained from Japan. Other apartments con
I tajn an extensive collec'ion of paintings; prin
i cipally of the Dutch school. Among the great
I est of the curiosities £ h n ms was the model
of a Dutch palace mad* v*oise shell, the
work of a patient citizen Hague, who de
voted to it 25 years. We u>ld that the Em
peror Alexander, who saw it in its progress, di
rected the builder to proceed and complete it in
the style indicated by him, and promised to pay
him 25,000 florins for it. It was finished accord
ingly. hut the Emperor thought better of the
bargain and refused to take it. After several
transfers it was purchased at a greatly reduced
price and deposited in this Museum.
We hnu travelling in nonann an agreeaute
relief from the exactions to which w’e were con
tinually subject in England. The rate of pas
sage on board the canal boat is about two sti
vers a mile, but wo to the traveller who is so un
wise as we are, and encumbers himself with bag
gage. It lias hitherto cost more for the porters’
fees from boat to boat, than our own fare from
town to town. The scenery on the bank ofthe
canal, though destitute of every thing like natu
ral beauty or variety, is interesting beyond con
ception. The banks are adorned wi:h neat taste
ful villas, and pavillions and tea houses, shaded
by elms and rich orchards. Abundance and
! ease seemed to be the lot of the inhabitants.
i When we pass a little village, people are seen
at almost all hours of the day drinking coffee
and reading news or books, under the shade
trees. Every farm house and country seat on
the banks of the canal, had a shady avenue,
conducting to a tasteful and romantic little pa
villion, which, overhangs the canal, and in the
afternoon to be occupied by the ladies of the !a
I mily; between these and the voyagers a kindly
salute always takes place. In short, my dear
sir, this, your vader land, is the first country I
have visitpd, in which all looks like enjoyment
without luxury, and taste without affectation.
From Rotterdam to Delfi is a distance of a
| bout thirteen miles, but this we had to ascertain
by calculation. The canal boat is drawn by
one horse, and goes at the rate (including stop
page in the way) of three miles an hour. The
i journey is made with the greatest punctuality,
i but the boatman or the driver of a diligence
cannot be induced either by “ fear, favor, affec
| tion or hope of reward” to accomplish his task
! one minute short of the time, which custom has
I so entirely sanctioned, that whenever you ask
the distance from place to place, the answer al
! ways gives you the number of hours which are
required to accomplish the journey.
When we had been about two hours on the
canal, we arrived at a little village with one
street running along the bank. Our Captain
pushed the boat to the shore, left it, and pro
ceeded to a stand where a|woman had her coffee
in readiness under the shade of the elms. Here
we lounged about fifteen minutes admiring the
remarkable neatness of the dwellings, as well
as the antiquity and striking resemblance to
those ofthe Dutch settlers in New’ York. Then
j we re-embarked and renewing the tobacco in
our pipes, proceeded on our voyage,
i We observed that when we met boats the tow
line was raised so as to pass over instead of un
der them, as on our canals.—This is doubt
less far more inconvenient than the manner
adopted by us, but the tenacity of the Dutch
j to their ow n ancient customs is proverbial.—
[ We found here many things, the novelty of
1 which excited our surprise. One of these is a
great number of storks throughout the country.
They serve as scavengers, and are preserved
kwlth great care by means of municipal regu
1 lations, as w&l as a kind of superstitious regard
entertained for them by the peasantry.—The
road from Rotterdam to Delft runs along the
banks of the canal. The outre appearance of
the rope harness, the clumsy carriages, in form
resembling those of our own country, but made
in the fashions which prevailed among us twen
ty years ago, excited no little interest, and we
certainly could not withhold our surprise when
we saw military officers, evidently of respecta
ble rank, with pipes puffing the smoke from their
mustaches while making an afternoon excur
sion.
We became aware of our entrance to Delft
only by the greater compactness of suburbs,
which had extended lor miles. Splendid villas
and pavillions became more frequent. At length
we passed the arsenals, very ancient edifices,
bearing the arms of the Netherlands and mot
tos which we could not translate. Delft, al
though a town of only 13,000 inhabitants, is no
unimportant place. It derives no mean distinc
tion from being the birth place Grotius and the
burying place of the family of the Prince of
Orange. In one of the antique churches is the
mausoleum of William of Nassau, the Libera
tor of Holland. He is represented lying upon
the monument with his dog at his feet.
In the same Church is the tomb of Grotius; and
in another church is that of the brave Admiral
Van Tromp. One of the steeples was pointed
to us, affording from its tower a fine view of the
country. Such views are exceedingly rare in
Holland, and therefore must be very gratifying
to those who have the enterprize to climb towers
and windmills to obtain them. Thus far we
have not seen even a hillock. All is one dead
level as far as the eye can reach, and the
fields ate principally occupied as pastur
ages. In every direction the country is intersect
ed by canals, the banks of which are elevated
so as to prevent Inundations. These canals have
no other locks than guard locks, and the water
being constantly flowing into the ocean, the ca
nals are kept perfectly clean and wholesome.
