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.

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*. Y. Express.

Extract from Stanley Thorn.
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? Not a
bit of it! not if I vosvorth a matter of fifty times
as much as I ham. But, as it is; as I’ve aHus es
caped the himposilion ; there am I, never missed,
alius thought on, looked up to, and respected ;
vich, let me tell you, is a werry great advantage.
By the by, I’ll introduce you; you must go to
one of our conwersayshoneys.’
* What’s that V inquired Boh.
‘Vot? a conwcrsayshoney 1 A slap sort of
a supper, in course. They’re a-going to have
another at Sir Hamilton Hideways, vich is gone
abroad ontil things comes a leetle round. He’s
a mean un hiss« If. but his servants is trumps.
None hut single men’s admitted. Vill you g« ?’
Boh promised that he would ; and at the same
time announced that nothing could give him grea
ter pleasure; but the arguments of the venera
ble gentleman; powerful and pointed though
they were, failed to convince him that marriage
as a thing to be despised.
