Amc.e-dAm.

It is not easy to give the reader an idea Of
this r.m,rk,ble city crossed anl r,crosssi by
canals in all directions-a city half water and
half land-in which the crnals 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 substan-
ti,l dykes an sluices, elaborately constructed
and carefully repaired, ani guarded, that the
sea is kept back, an but for these, this city,
containing upwards OF two hundred thousand
Inhabitants, would inevitably be submerged
and destroyed. Four great canals run across
the city in parallel curved lines, and, crossing
these, are series cf other canals, converging
in the h1rbor like the lines Of fan. Large ba-
sins occur here and there at intervals. The
buildings in the best part OF the city are mag
nihcent-many of them Of great age, bearing
rich and grotesque ornamental work on thei,
fronts. You would scarcely believe tha. the
soil under these N lestic buildings was only
loose sand and soft mud, Yet it is so:
81, it is only by means of piles Of wood
driven far down through the sand into the So
lid stratum beneath, that a foundation has
been gained. Hence Erasmus said Of Am
ed on the tops Of trees. Any one VITO merely
pays passing visit to Amsterdam, as did,
cannot fail TO be thrown into state CT perplex-
itv and amaze, by the apparent inextricable
completely of the city; its innlmerable bridg
es; its endless succ assion Of canals, and its
interininabe brick streets. The canals and
bridges SO much resemble each other, that the
stranger without 3 guide feels as if he were
wandering il 4 llbyrinth he loses all recol-
lection OF the points Of the compass; and, as
did, he will soon probably los, his way. The
most interesting public building in Amster-
I'M is now usel as royll palace. The great
feature of its interior is its grand hall, lined
with white Italian marble, said TO be the
finest hall of the kind in the world. The small
est apartments in the palace contain some
fine modern Dutch paintings, 10 which the
public are freely admitted. One painting, rep
resenting the b ero, Van Speyk, applying the
match to blow up his vessel, at Antwerp,
ther than allow it to be taken by the Belgians,
is one that lives long in the memory Of him
who has seen it. To those who have lesure,
the Museum, or National Picture Gallery. is
well worthy of a visit. But pictures be
seen at home ani are no novelty. The real in
tercst Of Amsterdam is in its streets, quays its
hustle and commerce., its bridges and canals
and the many striking and peculiar features OF
this city of the ssl--features which are no
where to be found characteristic of any city in
Europe. north of Venice.

INCIDENTS OF TRAVEL.
SNAKES All Sra s-chsrna- :.

Tonew-comers in Hiniostln, and particular
ly those Of nervous temperament, snakes CT
various kinds constitute source of perpetual
alarm. Their numbers immense, and no
place is sacred from their visitations. Just
fancy the agreeable surprise resulting frCm
such little occurrences as the following, which
sre far from being rare. You get up in a
morning, after feverish night perhaps; Ian
guidty you reach for your boots, and upon pull
ling on one, feel something soft before your
toes, and on turning IT upside down, and Civ
ing it shake, out pops SmIll snake OF the
carpet tribe-as they are called probably from
their domestic propensities-wondering what
can be the cause of his being thus rudely eject
ed from his nights quarters. Or suppose. at
any time during the day, you should be musi-
cally inclined; you take your flute from its
resting place, and proceed to screw it together,
but find, on making attempt to plty, that
something is the matter, and on peeping into
it, discover that a little serpentine gentleman
has there sought and found a snug lodgment.
Perhaps your endeAver TO give it breath with
your mouth make Mr.. Sntke feel his habit,-
ton in the instrument uncomfortably cold, an
ere you are aware OF MS presence, ne Is OUT,
and wrigglins among your fingers.
Such incidents as these tuse rather unpleas-
ant starts to those who new to Hindostanic
matters. though the natives OF the lind, or
persons who have been long resident in it,
might only smile at the newcomers uneas
ness, and tell him that these little intrud.rs
were perfectly harmless. But even with the
assurance of this fact, it is long erc most Eu-
ropeans IN tolerate the sight and presence of
these snakes, much less feel comfortable under
their cold touch. Besides. ii is but too well
known, that all these creatures are not innoxi-
GUS. Well do remember. the fright that one
poor fellow got in the barracks at NJ ldras He
