THE* MUSEUM. [ ■ ——-—i From the .ilabany Daily Advertiser. SCRAPIAN A, from \Ve Doth records of colony of New Netherfaml, now, in part, the state of New-York. _ Frequent entries appear similar totne lollnwina —“ Jan Jansen complains <>f A dtfm Roelants* for slander — Ordered, that pur'v nay 25 guilders to the poor.” Aug. 28, 1638. Singular punishments. —Two soldiers “condemned to sit two hours on the wooden horse.” a machine adopted in Holland con- of a wooden horse, 12 feet high, with a sharp back—the culprit’s legs were fastened with a chain to an iron stirup, and sometimes a weight was fixed to the feet. Guvsbert Yah Bogerstand, for “ draw, in? his knife ” oh some person, was sen tence “ to throp himself three ttipes from the sail yard of the yatch, the Hope, end to receive from each sailor three lashes, ‘ Ju ly 11, 1633. . • <V Torture was applied in the case of Jan Hobbes ; he had been guilty of theft, and his guiit-cleaily appeared in evidence, but it seemed to be necessary* beforo he could be punished, that a confession should be extorted from him by torture. Hendrick Jansen,“ for scandalizing” the governor, was sentenced to stand at the fort dovr at the ringing of the bell, and ask the governor’s pardon. 16S8. Tobacco.— -This plant was successfully cultivated on Manhatten Island, so that as as the sth of August, 1638, two in spectors were appointed to inspect *• tobac co, cultivated here tor exportation, ” arid on the 19th of August, 1638, an order was passed, stating, ‘“that the high character our tobacco had obtained in foreign coun tries, ” required heavy penalties to be in flicted on those who adulterated that artic le ; and a duty, also, of five per cent was imposed on all tobacco exported. The rate cf interest on money in 1633, was 5 per cent. Goats and goat milk appear to be fre quent subjects of traffic and sale in the year 1638, and for several years after.

Fort Orange, at Bevcwyck, [Albany,] was built in 1614, by Harwich Christi anse, and had 9 cannon mounted in 1663. In the oath of allegiance taken by the officers of government, they swear, “ to inantain the reformed religion, in confor mity to (he word of God, and the decree of the Synod of JJordrech.” No Taveriflteepei permitted to give suppers to parties after 9at night; and if an Indian be found drunk* his word, when sober, shall be conclusive evidence as to the white person who made him drunk.

The preceeding scraps are hastily collec ted from the several thousands with which our Dutch records every where abound. To the antiquarin and historian, they would furnish a rich repast, in which vari ety* novelty and interest would be equally attractive and conspicuous. From the Evening Post. This morning;we have been shewn a beautiful ceder snuffbox, inlaid with gold, which has been presented by the Duke of Yoik, to the Rev. Mr. Dema'cst, of Tap pan, in token of the grateful sense which the Duke entertains of his respectful atten tion to the remains of the late Major An dre,’ which were disinterred from his g’ ttud*. The cedsr, out of which the box is curved, grew upon the grave and was wnt to England with the sarcophagus, which contained the bones of the;dcceased. The following is a copy of the inscription inside the lid ; From His Royal Highness the Duke of York, To mark his sense Os the Rev. John Dernaicst’s Liberal attentiorr Upnti the occasion of the removal Os the remains of the late Major John Andre, At Tuppan, , Oa the 18th of Augast, *■ 1 „ 1821. From the Richmond Compiler, June 5. • BRACEBRIDGE HALL.” This new work from the pen of Wash ington Irvine is likely to have a great run in spite of its costly price. It consists ot ‘ two small volumes* very elegantly printed like the Sketch Book. But the price in Philadelphia is gs—and in this city per haps it is more. We regret this circum stance; because it cuts off a great many from the pleasure of reading the effusions of his genius. It is a Luxury of Litera ture, which is accessible to the rich ; it is a pleasure that from the poor is “ quite cut off.” The work must be read by those who can afford to pay for it—for it is the production of a fine genius, who has,contrived even to suddue the violent prejudices, which were entartained against American Literature amongst the English people. He is among the most popular Writers of the age; for his descriptions are amongst the most striking we have ever seen; his style is, as he choos es to vary it, both r.umorous and pathetic, Hein in the particularity of his paintings the Crabbe of modern prose writers. Bracebridge Hall consists of a series of sketches. Some of them are too low, like those of Crabbe; but they have a force from their very minuteness and resem blance to nature* which nothing but the most critical and comprehensive observer coold possible reach* What will thevrea der think, for instance, of his description of a dull inn on a rainy Sabbath day f Eve ry part of it secmß elaborately drawn from the life; but are there not many features which might well have been spared ? A Northern Editor has noticed the facts, that Mr. Irvine preserves all his love for America, but he contrives to pay some ve ry dextrous compliments to English preju dices. For instance, how adroit is the fol lowing.; and yet when strictly (analyzed, into what mere sophistry does it resolve itself! “Brought up, says Mr. Irvine, as I have been, in Republican habits and principles, I can feel nothing of the servile reverence. for titled ran/c merely because it is titled. —But I trust lam neither churl nor bigot in my creed. Ido see and feel, how her editary distinction, when it falls to the lot of a generous mind* may elevate that mind into true nobility, it is one of the effects of hereditary rank, when it falls thus hapily, that it multiplies the duties, and as it were, extends the existence .f the possessor. He. does not think himself a mere individual life in creation, respon sible only for his own brief term of being.— He carries back his existence in proud re collection, and he extends it forward in honorable anticipation. He lives with his ancestry, and lie ißes with his posterity.” ca^ni ateiiu. pi’ with the various and multiplied relations which a republic creates between her citizens and he* self * with the energy which is inspired by the cuiiciousnesS of that importance to which his own exertions and merits nay raise the citizen of a republic, and Who will compare a self-raised Washington and Jefferson with a man who derives conse quence from titles and birth? Nay, even in England how do all the nobility sink by the side of Chatham and of Shake spear ? We do not admire this courteous spirit in Mr. Irvine—lt might well be limited without injuring the nerit of his works: An American would prefer to see in his cuuutrymen a less ductile disposi tion.
