The walls jut out a mile into the sea, and enclose a harbor two hundred acres in ex- tent. The Zuider Zee, is also soon to be partly dried, for the surveys are complete, and the money is ready for the execution of a vast engineering work by which more than seven hundred square miles of dry land will be added to the main shore. The ship canal of the Helder, for many years in use by the East India mer- chantmen, is fifty-one miles long. The eloquent Saurin said that Holland, created in the .midst... of marshes, has no solid foundation except in the wisdom of her rulers and the untiring industry of her people. "We have been hearing of their industry ; let us turn now, for a moment, to their wisdom. The Dutch make a duty of systematic benevolence. They have a Society for the Public Good, as it is well named, having two hundred and twenty branches, and fourteen thousand members, who meet once a fortnight and consider the best means of promoting schools, asylums and hospitals. The discussion of politics and religious doctrines is pro- hibited.
