a City on the Tops of Frees.

II is not easy TO give the feader an idea
of this remarkable city (Amsterdam( J
crossed and recessed by canals in all di.
rections--a city half water and half land
in which the canals are the streets and
highways, leading towards the open sea,
which seems to hold the city in its arms.
1t is only by means Of expensive and most
substantial dikes and sluices, elaborarelv
constructed and carefully repaired, and
guarded, that the sea is kept back and
but for these, this city, containing up
wards Of two hundred thousand inhabi
tantS, would inevitably be submerged
and destroyed. -Four great canals run
across the city in parallel curved lines,
and, crossing these, are a series of other
canals, converging in the harbour like
the lines of a fan. Large basins occur
here and there at intervals The bull.
dings in the best parts of the city are
magnificent--many Of them ofgreat age,
bearing rich and grotosque ornamental
work on their fronts. You would scarce.
ly believe that the soil under these ma.
jostic buildings was only loose sand and
soft mud Yet il is so and il is only by
means of piles OF wood driven far down
through the sand into the solid stratum
beneath, that foundation has been gain.

injunction Finally disposed Of.

The appeal upon VIM. II. Baldwin S
Injunction, dissolved by Judge Green,
and appealed by Baldwin, came on to be
heard before Judge Caldwell, Of the Su-
preme Court, at Cincinnati, on Tuesday
9Th inst, and upon argument by counsel
on both sides, was finally dissolr, d.
His Honor Judge Caldwell, decided
againstthe complanantupon every impor-
tant charge of his bill, and finally dis
posed Of the matter as far as this COM
plainant is concerned.
An attempt will be made under another
bill, to get an injunction from Judge Rog-
ers, at Springfield, but we suppose, with
out any chance of success, as the com
pany have notice, and the new bill has the
Baldwin tant about il, the new complain
ant being another Baldwin, young rela-
ton, used ASIAN instrument in this cagsc,
by his elder kinsman.
The evidence before Judge Caldwell
clearly convicts the Cincinnati and Mari
eta Railroad Company of completely
with Baldwin in his nefarous attempt to
mjure the Hillsboroagh Company; and it
shows how little the public can rely either
upon the allegations or dcnals Of the
Chillicothe or Marietta press.
The complainant and the Marietta
Company have employed in these cases,
some of the strongest lawyers in the
State, such as Messrs Stansbcrry, Hook
ing, Hunter Thomas Ewing, Alphonso
Tuh, DC, while for the Hillsborough
Company appear Gen. Goddard, Of zanes-
vile; VIM. Y Gholson, Esq, of Cincin-
matt, and James Henry Thompson, of
Highland county.
Some day, there will be an end to all
this vain and ridiculous 6arratry on the
part Of the Marietta Company, and very
pretty bill We suppose, that in the end,
they will have to foot.

Slavery cause at heart, while getting
money is his only object. He has seve.
raj ways Of obtaining it. One is to take

He obtained property of considerable

black, rather good features, takes extra
pains to be agreeable, sociable, &C.
Makes rather good speech, ii we dis.
pense with criticism. Often processes to

Layard's volume abounds with cor

the Old Testament. Mound after mound,
palace after palace, and even lombs and
hidden vaults testify to the minute truth,
iulness of that inspired volume. Hosts oI
