Extract from the Correspondence of the New York Journal of Commerce: “ Rotterdam, (Holland,) } September 25, 1840. y It certainly strikes an American as very singu lar that a country —a whole kingdom—should actually l>e lower than the sea; yet such is the case with Holland. Nothing hut the dykes and sand hills on the coast (c.tiled Dunes,) keep it from being submerged. Thcs every river and creek is followed up in all its wanderings and ramifications, each side carefully dyked up—ca nals, outlets sluices, dams, and docks placed wherever required, and thus, the whole kingdom is garrisoned as it were, requiting constantly a targe body of Engineers at every part to watch and guerd against the invasion of their subtle enemy (the water) which is unceasingly wear ing and washing away the embankments, requir ing instant and energetic measures for repairing what injury may be sustained, and preventing their tee from overspreading the country. Much ot the land has been reclaimed from the water. The lake Haarlem, 28 miles in circumference, averaging 6 feet of water and 8 feel mud, tne washings of the Rhine, was once land, and they have now commenced draining it, to make it land again, which will take abcut six years. Part of the immense number of windmills seen here, are used for the purpose of drawing off water trom the land and pumping it into canals, that lead finally into the sea. You can stand on a dyke, and see four or more levels of water, all within a few feel of each other. They have few fences, the houses in the country being surrounded by little canals, with bridges, over which are gates, which are of course a protection against intruders. Many have small turning bridges, turning on a pivot placed on the house side, so that when you pass over, a small jerk with the foot, places the bridge your side of the canal, and prevents in gress from the opposite bank.” Boston, Nov. 10. A Storm.—We have had a severe storm since Sunday evening. The wind was E., then N.E., and during the latter part of the storm, north* The quantity of ram which has fallen, is six in ches and one-tenth —a greater amount than has fallen during any storm tor many years! The tide rose very high yesleiday, and, with the wind, has probably dune much damage to embankments, dec., along the coast. The wooden pavements in this city, recently laid, have also suffered injury. It is not improbable that we shall hear of serious disasters to shipping in the bay. —Evening Jour nal. The house of Gen. Tallmadge, formerly owned by Gov. Clinton, near Hampton with the out houses, barns, dec., was burnt to the ground on the night of Tuesday last. —New York Express. New Jersey and its Seal. | The decided and emphatic expression of public feeling in this Stale pleases us more than any victory we have won. The re-election of the very six members by about 2300 majority, whom the Administration party in the House by force and fraud excluded from their places, is a noble vindication of State pride and State right by one of the sovereign members of the confederacy. The lesson it teaches the Federal Government, that this pride cannot be outraged, and these rights violated with impunity, is a salutary lesson, such as will have its effect hereafter in the set tlement of contested seats in the douse of Re presentatives. It is probable that party spirit never went so far before smong public men sworn to support the Constitution, as when they shut out from the House five of the six Whig members from New Jersey. The wrong was such, if not ;he uncon stitutionality of the act, that the Whig Governor and Legislature would have been justified in prin ciple in a resort to extreme measures of defence, upon the ground at least, that where there was no representation there should be no taxation, but they wisely deemed it best to abide the ver dict of the people, and to commit their wrongs to the redress of time. In making that appeal, in terest was imparted to it by the appearance be fore the people of the same parlies, upon whose case the House of Representatives had adjudicat ed. Ths candidates for Congress on both sides were the same persons that appeared at Wash ington. The men of the Administiation bad urged on Congress, that the popular will of New Jersey was, that they should represent the people there, but when an appeal was taken to that popular will, the Whig members are sent back by a great majority for so smad a State. The broad seal of New Jersey was assaile i and ridi culed in Congress, and by none more than the men who claimed exclusively to represent the State, but upon that seal the people now, and with an emphasis too, have affixed their stamp such as will make it respected through all time. If the men of the Administration believed what they preach ; if their democracy was a belief in i the government of the people ; if indeed they i had any respect for popular rights, and the pnn- I ciplc of representation, they would not now, they ! could not, go back to Washington the coming I winter, and usurp places they cannot well pre ; tend to be theirs.—-V*.

BT THE AUTHOR OF “ VALKRTINE VOX.” Venerable Joe promulgates his matrimonial views. As Bob very early in the evening on which Sir William designed to lay the foundation of Stan ley’s ruin, ascertained that he should not be again wanted he put up his horses, made himself truly tidy, and then went to have a few hours’ confi dential conversation with Venerable Joe, whom he had held in high esteem. Bob scarcely could tell how it was that he re spected that venerable gentleman so highly, al though it may with perfect safety be attributed to the fact of bis morality being strictly correct, while his deportment was perfect gentleman like and tree ; but he certainly did regard him as a very superior sort of an individual, one from whom much valuable knowledge might oe gleaned, and with whom a man of honor might associate with out having his reputation either tarnished or im pugned. On the other hand, Venerable Joe had imbibed an exalted appreciation of Bob’s integrity. He Knew that his moral principles were sound, in asmuch as he bad paid like a peer of the realm for the brandy-and water he lost on the Derby. But, independently of this—although this was the cement, for if Bob could not have paid for the Brandy and water, their friendship of course, must have been at an end, he admired his intellect ual acquirements as he had witnesseu their de velopetnent in the tap, where Bob once actually put a man down who was canvassing ttie conduct of Alexander the Great; and hence when they met they met as friends —bosom friends—friends bound to each other fertile. On this occasion to show the strength and vir gin purity of the friendship which had sprung up between them, Bob no sc oner beheld Venerable Joe than he struck a very highly approved pu gelistic attitude, and the venerable gentleman struck another, and they sparred with great science for more than ten minutes in really the most affectionate manner possible. ‘Veil, my leetle lily !’ exclaimed the venerable who was tne first to drop his arms, ‘ and wot’* the werdict 1 Hay ! ’ow ao you bring it in now V ‘Never better.’ replied Bob. -How’s youi>e!t V l H‘f it warn’t for them roomatiz! Them’s the on’y things as waxes my sentiments. — But ve’re all on us safe to ’ave somethink ! The best vay s to look at all things fiiiysophocle, and then they don’t seem nothink like what they are.’ ‘That’s somewhere about the average, I be lieve,’ observed Bob. ‘But how long will it be afore you’re done!’ ‘Not the space of an instant. Go over to (he I tap, and I will be with you in a leetle less than no time.’ Bob did so, and was soon after joined by bis venerable triend, when they entered deeply into the discussion of various subjects, and eventual ly touching upon tbat of matrimony as it stands. ‘Are you a Benediction V inquired Bob. The Venerable gentleman scratched his head, and looked as if a slight explanation would be pleasant. •A Benediction ! You know what I mean, you know. Was you ever married V ‘Not if I know it;’ said Venerable Joe—‘not a ha’porth of it! No, no; I. never vos guilty of that. But why didn’t you pul it in the right p’int of view ? Why did’..t you arstif I ever vos mad V •Under all circumstances'?’ Inquired Boh, •Why, hifyou’ve enough, you know, for to keep a missis, and to bring up a whole mob or individuals respectable, it may’nt b«! so bad; but, onless a man is gifted with a hindopencient bu siness he don’t ought to do it. He d p ison bis self out-and-out. But you never dream of mar rying V L . . . ‘Why, I don’t know ; I do sometimes thina it would be pleasant.’ ‘Pleasant!’ cried the venerable gentleman. But, in course, you’re on’y joking ?’ ‘No ; as sure as I’m alive I’m quite serious.’ •You are? Then jist let me give you a leetle adwice. Turn the hidear clean out ot your VJ. Don’t have it ! Marriage is a swindle : it’s a reg ular himposition. It’s all very well p’raphs, for gentlemen to marry, ’cos, in course, they can very well stand the hexpence, and it makes good for servants; but for us to think of doing such a thing! its no go: mark my words, its no go.— The gals in course, have a natral right to ketch us, if they can; but we don’t ought to be colch eu. It’s a dead take in! Besides, marriage spiles the gals. Vile vou are cortin’ on ’em butter von’t melt in their mouths; they dress nice, and'speak nice; and know how to behave ; but directly you get ’em home they let you know vot’s o’clock.— That’s the p’int. Then instead of sweet words, smiles and sutterer, you’ve nothing but biowin’s up, black looks, and bounce. Tnen’s ven they let their tongues lo< se. It’s then they show off, and let you see the difference. They know they are all right: You can’t help yourself then.— They sets you at defiance. You may take your change out of it, and go and do your best and your vust: try all you know there’s no gettin I rid of ’em. Vot is it, then, but a dean take in 1— Vot is it then but a reg’iar out-and-out himposi tion 1 If I buy an ’oss to go quiet in ’arness. and ven I cits him borne I finds the warrnent full of wice, is it any think but a swindle ? And vot is it but a swindle ven I marries a gal vich varrants herself lobe a good un and she turns out a bad UN?’ “But they are not all alike?” suggested Boh. “I don’t know. They’re pooty much of a muchness, lake em out of the kitchen. If you're always flush ’o money, you may manage to get along with a few on em , props ; but the moment you happen to he short they begin to let out. Cooks however, them’s the warrnent! I’ll back em to beat the vorld. There! if I had ray time to come over agin and a cook and a bottle of pois on was pul afore me, if 1 vos obligated for to take aither the one or tother, I’d svalicr the p’ison with joy.” “But there’s some cooks a decentish sort,” ur ged Bob. “Not a single indiwidual one among em. They're a werry queer lot, anti has a lot they do make the most warmer)list ofvives upon the face of the earth. But s’spose a man does get a decen tish one —not a cook, for that’s clean out ofnatur; but s’spose he happens to gel hold of a fairish piece o’ goods, vol his 'appiness ? Hindependence the joy of bis life’s gone. He can t go out aroul ketchin’ it ven he gets back. If he meets vith a friend, he mustn’t stop with that friend ; nayther must he bring him home, onless he vonts lor to have him insulted. He may call hisself master of his own crib it he likes; but vol a man calls hisself under them there circumstantials is a wer ry different thing from vot he is. It’s the cruel lest specie ot slavery in nalur. Tork o’the black Africans! And then tDeexpen.se; that’s another himposiiion. 'They tell yer, in course, vere one can live a couple can live ! It’s a reg’iar do—a cruel do. The expenses is sate to increase. You can’t go out arout a doubhn on em, no how. On’y try Gravesend jist for instance. Hindepen dent of the expense of riggin’ out -and there’s safe to be som-think or ’nother vonted—there’s a couple o’shillin’s there ; that’s got to be dou bled; a couple o’ shillin’s back ; that’s got to be doubted; a couple o’ dinners, a couple o’ teas.— in short, a couple of every hindiwidual thing. Call for a glass of gin and water : why, it's gone afore you know vere you are! 'They can’t drink afore marriage. Oh, no ! they can on’y jist breathe upon the hedge o’the glass; but von’t they dip into it after! And then it’s * Lor! how uncommon fast you do drink ! I ain’t scarce put my lips to it rally !’ Vot are you to do? You can’t help yourself. You call for another, vich goes the same road!” “Is that a fact?” inquired Bob, who was very incredulous. “The fact, and nothink but,” replied the vener able gentleman. “And then comes the kids. P’raps they don’t cost nothink ! Why, the lay in’s in alone 'll eat you up. And it’s hodds that they turn out young warmant after all. And if yer don’t have none on em, then yer not ’appy ; yer alius a-vishin forem, alius yarnin’ after em. And then,” —he continued with a most myiteri ous aspect, “then comes the pint! Yer not sure; yer can’t be sure; there’s nothink to make yer sure 1 That’s vere you feels it. But even ifyou feels sure, vich is the same thing in the long run, there yer live together piggin’ all yer live up in a loft* And his you should chance to be throwed out o’ place, vot a pooty predicament yer in ! And a married servant’s ados treated vuss, cos he’s tied. He’s safe to be imposed up on cos he can’t help hisself. They know they’ve got him under their thumb. But ven a man’s single, vot a dis ferent man he is! ’Then’s the time he feels his self independent. He can get a place any vere; and if he’s even hout for a time, why, he’s only got his own self to look to. Besides, look at the pleasures of a single indiwidual! He gitsinwit ed out. Married men never gits inwited out. And why? Why, in course, cos they’re married. It ain’t o’ no sort o’ use to inwite them. They’re not to be taken in, cos they have been taken in; and veu they vos, there vos a end of the walue. In my lime, I’ve heered many a married man say; * so and so’s been inwited to sich and sich party , they might have ars. me.’ They haven't recollec ed at the time that they vos married, and that vos the cause. No: they’ve thought themselves as heiigible as they vos afore; but they werry soon find their mistake —Verehas a single man’s alius out; he’s alius inwited. they can’t get on arout him! ontil he gets married, ven they find that they can get on arout him werry well. And this ain’t confined on’y to servants, allho’tney’re i the vust; ve see it every day, and in htvery class, from the highest spere of society down to the werry lowest it’s jist hail the same ; they inwite men ontil they have passed that p’int, and then they inwite em no more. It vexes me ven I see single men suppo.-e thatihey’re inwited cos they’re decentish lookin, or cos th y'le good company. Nothink of the sort! let ’em marry, and they'll soon find that vosn’t it.” “Still,” said Bob, “there must be something in this marriage, alter all. There must be some thing in it more than wo know on.' 1 1 The married life’s loaded with cusses,” re joined his venerable friend. “ But arst them that are married. What do they say about it V’ “Say! They ugh t to he ashamed of them selves logo for to try to swindle people into the belief that they’re ’appy. They cught to know i better. Thai’* another imposition. They none on 'em speak ihereal sentiments of their minds. They on'y do it out of a specie of rewcnge. It’s on’y cos tbey’ie in the mud themselves, and vant heverybt dy else to tumble in over head an’ ears arter them ; that’s all.” *•*••• ‘ Love!’ rejoined Venerable Joe, sarcastically. * Love’s a himposilion. There’s been more peo ple imposed upon by that air vordlhan hy all the professional swindlers in nal irc. It’s a gross, a uniwersal himposilion ; and it’s on’y werry won derful to me that it ain’t long ago been hexpu.i ged. A gal says she loves yer. Werry well; but a.e you consequent : ally obligated for to make a fool o’ yourgelll Noi you’ve only got her hipsy-dixy and vot’s the good o’ that. Marry her; and vou’ll werry soon see ° ’ow sweet’s the love as meets return.” But arout that, look ’ear on’y jist for hinslance: a gal loves a soger; vich they all do; its regular; he’s a p.ivate; still she loves him ; oh, hout and houl! Werry well; dont yer think she’d give ’im up for a hofficer 1 In course she vood ! And why 1 Why, it ’ud be a better chance. Has for love, it’s the vickedest, the swindlinest himposilion as K Tho chance is vot gals look out for. The on’y question with them is, ‘*ls it a good chancel’ If it is. they’ll have it; if it ain’t, they von’t; onless they can’t get nothing better. It’s the deadest take-in is that love ever heered on : a deader do never vos hinwented. You take my adwice; and don’t be foozled. Yenever you ’car the vord love alvays wiew it as a gross himposit’.on. His yer don’t you’ll be done, and on’y find out the difference ven it’s too late. Look at me jist for hinstance. I was sixty-two in Jannerwerry last. Sixty-two, and I ain’t done yet. I’m inwited to all the par ties. I’m never forgot! There’s the old uns as is single a-hoglin’ on me reg'lar, and the old uns as is married a-settin’ their darters upon me; it ’ud bo sich a chance ! and all, in course, cos I’m single. Why.d’yer think they’d care about my company perwidcdl vos m trried 1 Does it stand at all to reason they’d inwite me as they do his they did’l believe I vos yet to be done?
