FROM the NEW YORK AMERICAN.
LETTERS FROM THE OLD WORLD
( By a Lady Of Near Yo,h.)

Instead OF beginning with the objects contained
within the walls of Jerusalem, will reverse the
order, and endeavor TO make YOU first acquainted
geographically with the site Of the holy city as it
now exists; after which, will take cursory re-
view of the most important objects in the immedi-
ate environs, and if have time this afternoon, will
not fail to lead you into the interior Of the Holy
Sepulchre, and to the heights of Zion.
Our first approach to the city from the north was
made under such an excited state Of feeling that !
never once thought of viewing it and its immedi-
ate localities with an eye to their topography. Ny
subsequent view from the top of Olivet took in SO
wide grasp otimPosing objects, that minor details,
or the cold engneer-like criticisms and admeasu e.
ments Of superficial space, of elevation and depres-
sion, never entered my mind. | had but faint
idea of the natural formation Of these sites until The
other day. when we, for second time, rode round
the walls.
Approaching from the north the face of the
country presents somewhat uneven plain quite to
the modern north wall. This wall is Just three
quarters Of mile in length from east to west over
a slightly unduating surface Of ground. 1t has the
usual Irregular, though here very unscientifc,
projecting and recedng lines Of the weakly fortif-
ed cities Of the middle ages; and its summit is
crowned with the customary notchcd battlements
Of those days. In the centre is the Damascus Gale,
near which we encamped the night Of our arrival.
Between this and the eastern extremity of this line
Of wall is another gate called the Hcrod Gate, and
sometimes the EphraiIn Gate.
We vii. now put aside for the present from our
view the houses monuments, and remaining walls
Of the city, in order to examine the grouna on
which they stand. The present city is an rregu-
lar square. The eat and west extremities of the
north wall Il do not pretend to give the precise
points OF the compass, nor it necessary for me
to do } rest upon the two points where commence
the first depressions in the plain, which, very rap
/ idly descending, from the two celebrated valleys.
that of Ghon and Hinnom, and that Of Jehosaphat
on either side Of the city.
These valleys, (as have just said,) descend
rapidly: that on the east side is nearly stlaight,
while that on the west describes almost quarter
circle, and joins the eastern valley short distance
from the southwest angle of the present city walls.
! ach valley is about one mile and quarter in
ngth from the point where they commence to
their junction at Sloan. There is no constant
s'ream running through either Of them. They are

Such is my idea of perfect Statesman. 1t
may be said that all these qualities were never
united IN any one man, and that States have been
governed with great ability by men.wh were de-
icient in many of them. | allow the truth OF the
remark but the fact that Statesmen have done well
without this or that quality, is proof that they
would not have done better if they had possessed
