On the Continent at last! How slrunrrelv look the century old towers, and quaint, narrow streels of these Belgian cities, and what a fueling it is, to stand for the first time in tho midst of it people, speuking a language dillurent trom your own! It is at the same time an agreeablo and a painful sense of novelty. The old buildings around, rilled with the glittering associations of history, gratify the glowing anticipations with which one has looked forward to Boeing them, and the fancy is busy at work reconci ling Hie real scene witlt the umf; but the witttt ot a communication with the living world about, walls one up with a sense of lovlincss he could not before conceive. I envy the children in tho streets of Bruges their childish lungunge. Yesterday auernoon we came from London thro the beautiful green wooded lawns and vales of England, to Dover, which we reached at sunset, passing by a lung tunnel through the lofty Shukspeare ClilK We Had bnrely time belore it trrew dark to ascend the clilf. The glorious coast view looked still wilder in the gathering twilight, which soon hid from our sight the dim lulls of France. On the cliff opposite truwned the massive battlements of the Castle, and between, built in a little nook at the foot, lay the town, fhey keep in the Castle, a massive piece of ordnance, called Uueen tilizabcth's gun, which is said to throw a ball across the channel. A gentleman connected with the hotel, promised to call us up in time for the Ostend boat, which left at 4 o'clock this morning; but having heard of some of the tricks ot Dover landlords, my friend waked us up at three. After dressing in tho dark, we scram bled down to the parlor, and rang tho bell lustily, but nobody came. Meanwhile the time grew nearer, and losing patience at the delay, we shouted and knocked and rung, till at last tho landlord mode his appcarar.ee just as it struck four. Wo had just time to run down to tho wharf and get on the bout before i .1 .i i : t .r , . . ii ten, uius uupTiving nun oi mo pleasure ot retaining his guests a day or two longer. l ne water ot tlie Channel was smooth as class, and as the sun rose, the fur chalky clilTs gleamed along the horizon like a belt of lire. I waved a good by to Old England, and then turned to see the spires of Dunkirk, which were visible in the distance before us. On the low lielgian coast we could see trees and steeples, looking like a mirage over the level surface of the sea, and at length, about ten o'clock, the square tower of Ostend hove in sight. The city is surrounded by immense walls and embankments, and is a place of such strength that during the Spanish war the siege occupied two years, and cost a hundred and filly thousand lives on both sides. The boat passed into a long muddy bttsin, in which many unwieldy, red-saddled Dutch craft were lying, and stopped beside a high pier. Here amid the confusion of three languages, an officer came on board and took charge of our passports and Itiggiigc. As we could not get the former for two or three hours, we did not hurry the passing of the latter, and went on shore quite unincumbered, for a stroll about tho city, disregarding the cries of the hackney-coachmen on tho pier, "Hotel d'Angleterre," "Hotel ties Bains!" and another who culled out in English, "I recommend you to the Royal Hotel, Bir." There is little to be seen in Ostend. We wandered through the long rows of plain yellow houses, trying to read tho French and Low Dutch signs, and at last came out on the wall near the sea. A soldier motion ed us back as we attempted to ascend it, and mutter' ing some uninte lligiblo words, pointed to a narrow Btreet near, f ollowing this out ot curiosity, we crossed the moat and came out upon the great bathing beach. Tho long sandy slope was coverel with little wagons, and there wire many black heads visible in the surf. To got out of the hands of the ser vants who immediately surrounded us, we lumped into one, and were soon splashing among the cold waves. Ostend is one tf the most noted bathing places on tho coast, and at present is thronged with visitors. It may perhaps be useful for future travellers to know that the Belgian Minister's signature is now unnecessary, and tliut with that of cur own, one can even enter I'russin. Tho great increase ol travel ling caused by the rail road communication, has conduced greatly to lessen the strictness of police regulations, and in a short time one can pass un challenged through all the principal monarchies ol UUIU IV. J o be certain of fulfilling tho railroads regulations we took our seats nuurter of an hour before the time. The dark walls of Ostend soon vanished, and weweie whirled rapidly over a country perfectly level, but lngiily fertile and well cultivated. Uccasionaiiy there was a ditch or row of trees, but otherwise there was no division between the fields, and the plain stretched unbroken awav into the distance. The twenty miles to this place we made in forty minutes. Passing through a guarded gate we entered this an tique city, and here became first fully aware of our presence in Belgium. The streets were narrow and crooked, and the pointed, ornamented gables of tho houses produced a novel impression, seeing them lor the first time. Then there was the endless sound of wooden shoes clattering over the rough pavements, and people talking in that most horrible ot all lan gunges, low Dutch. Walking at ramdon through the streets, we came by chance upon the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and went in. I shall long remem ber my hrst impression of the scene. 1 he lolly gothic ceiling arched far above my head, and through the stained windows the light came but dimly it was all still and solemn and religious. A tew worshippers were kneeling in silence before some of the shrines, and tho echo of my tread seemed like a profaning sound. On every side were pictures and taints and gilded shrines. Thcro is something pleasing in these old Cathedrals, where one can at any hour, by a few stops exchange the bustle of the crowd fur the stillness and solemnity of this holy retreat. Many of the paintings of the old Flemish masters were very fine, but I lingered longest before a statue of the Virgin and Child, by Michael Angelo. In the Hospital connected with the Cathedral, is a collection of paintings, none very remarkable, bow-ever, except an altar piece by Hcmmiling, tlie last work of that artist The figures are rather too stitf and ungraceful, but I lie whole picture exhibits the most wonderful delicacy of execution. Every part is worked up to the fineness of miniature painting, and seems as fresh as just finished. We learned from the guide whom we had engaged (.because he spoke a few words of English, that there is still a Irtckshuyt line on the Canals, aud that one boat loaves to-night at ton o'clock for Ghent Wishing to try this old Dutch method of travelling, he took us about half a mile along tho Ghent road by a most splendid shaded walk called the Bovltvards, to tho Canal, where a moderate sized boat wus lying. Having had our baggage deposited in tlie plainly furnished cabin, I ran back to Bruges, although it was beginning to grow dark, to get a sight of tho belfry ; for Longfellow's lines had been running thr'o my head all day. " In the market place of Bruges, standi the belfry old and drown, Thrice consumed and thrice rcbuilded, still it watches o'er the town." And having found tho square, brown tower in one comer of the open market square, we waited to hear tho chimes, which are said to be the finest in Europe. They rang out at last with a clear silvery tone, most beautiful and musical indeed, and I then came back to this boat in the twi.ight. We shall leave in about an hour, according to the arrangement, but as yet there is no sound to be heard, and we are the only tenants. However, 1 shall trust to Dutch regularity, and go to sleep in the full confidence of awakening in Ghent. Devonshire Coltnitc Sceuery. The love of gardens nnd of gardening nppearsto be almost exclusively confined to tho English, and is partaken of by the poor as well as by the rich. Nothing can be prettier than the gardens attached to the thatch ed cottages in Devonshire. They are frequently to bo seen on the side, and oftener at the bottom of a hill, down which a narrow road leads to a rude single arched stone bridge. Here a shallow stream may bo seen flowing rapidly, and which now and then stickles, to use a Devonshire phrase, over a pavement ot either pebble or rag-stone. A little rill descends by tho sido ot the Jane, and closo to the hedge of tho cottage, which is approached by a broadstepping-stone over the rill, and beyond it is a gate made of rough sticks, which leads to the cottage. At a short distance an excavation has been cut out of tho bank, and paved round wilh rough stones, into which the water hods, and then makes its way clear and sparkling. This is the cottager's well. His garden is gay with flowers. His bees are placed on each side of a window, surrounded wilh honey-suckles, cssannne, or a nourishing vine, and the rustic porcn is covered with these or other creepers. Here, also, the gorgeous hollyhock may be seen in pcrtoction, for it delights in the rich red soil of Devonshire. Giant-stocks, Carnations, and China-asters flourish from the same cause, and make the garden appear an though it belonged to Flora herself. Nor must the little orchard be forgotten. The apple-trees lope with the hill, and in the spring are covered with a profusion of the most beautiful blossoms, and in the autumn are generally weighed down with their load of red fruit. Under them may bo seen a crop of potatoes, and in another part of the garden those fine Paing-ton cabbages, one of the best vegetables of the country. In a sheltered nook is the thatched pig-stye, partly concealed by the round yellow faced sun-flower, which serves both as a screen and an or nament. The mud or cob-walls of the cottage add to its picturesque appearance, when partly covered with creepers, and surrounded with Mowers, such is an accurate description of one of the many cottages I have seen in tho beautiful and hospitable county of Devon, so celebrated for its illustrious men, and tho beauty of its women. Thoso who, like my8elt, have wandered amongst its delightful lanes, will not think my picture overcharged. But I must introduce my reader to the inside of a Devonshire cottage. On entering it he will see the polished dresser, glittering with bright pewter plates; the flitch of bacon on the rack, with paper bags stored wuu ariea poi-neros ior winter use, acposucu near it; the bright dog-bars, instead of a grate, with tho cotlrel over them, to hang the pot on, and every thing bespeaking comfort and cleanliness, i he coltager s wife will ask him to sit down, in that hearty Devonshire phrase, which has often been addressed to me, and which always delighted in " Do'y, sir, pitch yourself, bringing forward a chair at thesamo time, and wiping it down with her apron. A cup of elder will be ottered, or bread and cheese, or whatever the cottage affords. I hive known one of the children stealthily sent to a neighboring farmer's for a little clotted cream, which has been set before me with a loat ot brown bread, and with the most hearty good will. They are so delicious a banquet that Pope might have thought of it when he said Itcneain Ike humble cottage lei ut haste, And there, unenvied, rural dainties taste. Jttit'e Country Lift. Cuntous Fulfilment or a Promise. An Eng lish gentleman, on a Sunday evening of last summer, drove out to Greenwood Cemetery and on arriving at the gate was refused admission, not having a proprietor's ticket "I am a stianger," said he, "and don't like to go back without seeing the place. And von mnv as well admit mo. for mv henlth is iroinff, and if f fancy a spot I'll cone and lay my bones here ! " The quiet seriousness with which this quaint argument was urged, pleased the gate-keeper, ana he drew the bolt and let the pleader in. He drove about till the twilight and on passing out thanked the keeper very feelingly, and said he should keep his promise. A tew days ago a gentleman cauea with a description of a particular spot in the ceme lery, identified and purchased it, mentioning that tlie remains of an En ;liah gentleman were on their war from Palermo for burial there. He was the subject of the incident just related. Before his death he had recorded his promise to the gate keeper, and given orders for his removal to the place he had chosen, reauesting that the fulfilment of Ins promise mitrht be mentioned as he should pass through the gate. Ilia remain are expected aany. jy. jr. Evening Mirror. Wreck or the Swallow. The committee of the Senate of New York went to Athena on the 14th inst, to investigate the circumstances attending the recent disaster to the Swallow, and report thereon. Captain Squires, the pilot and engineer, with others, are to be examined. The boat remains in tlie same position ; two large barges are alongside, and an effort will be made to raise her. No more bodies have been recovered. The chambermaid as serts, and in this contradicts her former statement, that she put a number of children in their berths be lore the accident happened. Reported Cosfessio or Pollt Bodiuk. There was a rumor in New York on Wednesday evening that this woman had repeated the confession alio made in the Richmond jail, implicating Waito as the principal in the dreadful tragedy. Some say that Waits has gone to South America, while others assert that he left for Texas. fXTho following article, from "Neal's Gazette," is reasonable, and will be read with advantage by the many who do not clearly understand why they are so often afflicted with colds when tlie weather's pleasant: , The Hprlnc Und Cold. We cannot complain surely, of any lack this season, of the varieties which go to make up spring weather in those latitudes. A month ago, or more, we had such soft and balmy weather that tidy housekeepers began to make threatening demonstrations against their stoves and their grates warm-blooded people dispensed with fires, and cold-blooded peoplo caught sundry coughs. Mufti, boas, cloaks and great coats had a narrow escape from being enclosed in camphor chests and other odoriferous receptacles; and we all began to put ourselves into a summer habit of mind. There was a talk of crocuses tho apricots and peaches got themselves into blossom the fields then donned their greenery, and a verdant tinge now enlivens me sombre hues ot the torcst. But wo haveol late had all sorts of weather, remind. ing one of Ilnmlet's talk to Osric, having it hot, cold, chilly and sultry, all in a breath tropical to-day shiver to-morr; w: sometimes an open window and an expanded door; and then a crouching round the fire, with a lusty call for blankets. Your spring weather is very insecure, and prudent people put no trust in it, as a treacherous accessory to physicians and apothecaries. It is pre-eminently the season of bad colds, and those who are infirm in health should now exercise a jealous supervision over themselves. Beware of those crawling chills, slight though they may be, which travel Bbout the back and shoulders; and hear an alarm in it when the nir of n apartment seems to close around you cold and amp, like the leaden embrace of a coffin. Better be a little too warm than to feci thus. And, above all things, when you call upon a friend a robust nd snnginous triend, who has little need of artificial caloric do not suffer politeness so far to overmaster udgment as to induce you to remain, when heated by exercise, in an apartment, the atmosphere of which streets you unpleasantly. Summon your moral courage and retreat at once if you wait till vou sneeze, it is too late the mischief has been accom plished; and there are more peoplo killed in this way than you nave any idea ot. Do not add another to the list As a general rule, people put their houses into summer trim by far too soon, and they are apt to dispense altogether with fires at the time when in truth they are most imperatively needed. At this period of the year it is often balmy enough out of doors, when within walla there is something which reminds the sensitive of an ice house. Under these irciimstances a little fire is requisite, and it will be found a great deal cheaper than catarrhs, rheumatism, pleurisies, and other matters ot the same unpleasant family. Tidy housekeeping is a good thing in its way; but it should not plav into the hands of the un dertaker; and it may be heroic to dispense with fires earlier than other people, but then we should not be astonished at maladies, and wonder what has made us so unwell. For tho most part every indisposition is well earned in one way or in another; and our "bad colds" in spring timo arise mainly from tlie cau ses above alluded to. TuarEKTirtK and Tar. The extraction of tur pentine from the pine trees which cover the region near the scacoost in the Southern-" States, furnishes employment for a great portion of the population, especially of the poorer classes. A southern paper gives an account of tho process by which this is ef- ' fectcd : it is even simpler than that by which sugar is manufactured from the sap of tho maple at the North : M As soon as tho sap begins to run in the season, notch is made near the root of the tree to catch tho turpentine. This is called boxing the tree. Then it is dipped out, generally with a simple gourd, into buckets, which are emptied into the barrels on tho pot I hese are ready lor market as soon as ther are filled. "Another small portion of the tree is then oared off and the sap then descends frocly into these receptacles. Under this operation, a pine will usually live for six or seven years, and is used in this man ner until it is thus deprived of its bark and a small portion of its trunk, to the height of ten or fifteen leet " One man, it is calculated, will attend to 7000 boxes in a season, and will collect from 100 to 130 barrels or turpentine in the year. When the trees becomes useless for this purpose they are foiled and cut up into small pieces, which are piled in heaps, set on fire, and carefully covered with dirt Ai the wood slowly burns away, the tar runs from beneath into gutters prepared for its reception. The kiln, while burning, is carefully watch- eo oy aay ana night une hundred barrels or tar are usually made from a single kiln, and tho remains of the wood are then used for charcoal. The BrcnETE Blacksmith is lecturing on Tem perance in Faneuil Hall, Boston. Inoneof his lectures, giving an account of his own progress in intemperance, he said: There, the "Snip qfJollijtca-Hon," is anchored off in the bay, bound for the "Cily of Destruction."

Mr. Strong, tho Bavarian Consul at Athens, in a recent work, (Greece as a Kingdom,) says: "Nature is so extremelv pre cocious in Greece, that females attain the age of puberty at ten or eleven years, and men at fifteen and sixteen. Young lads of 16 and 17 sre frequently met with in the villages, already married, and with families. I am acquainted wilh a lady of one of the first Athenian families, who, though only twenty-five years oi age, already nas sixteen children, (eight of them twins) of whom seven are alive. It may scarcely appear credible, but there is now at Athens a Venerable grandmamma in tlie person of a lady not yet twenty-four years old. She was married when eleven years of age, and had a daughter in the course of a year. That daughter married also, when sesree-y eleven, and has just become a mother "
