VENICE, Venice Is a compact city, about sov $n miles In circuit, and perfectably accessible in all its parts, lis princi l buildings are of marble or of light ;-!orcd stone, and the remainder are of brick covered with mastic. Italy It, so rich in marbles and other build ing stones that these materials weie the ohea pe.st which could bo used. No wojuVii houses are been in Venice. 'Ibe prevailing color of all it houses Is white, thus giving to the c.ty a cheerful appoarance. In addition to the (.rand Canal, there are a hundred und forty-heven other canals intersect ing all parts of the city as well as each other, and affording til the advanta ges of light, ventilation and corner lots guined in other cities b3' means of streets mid avenues. The canals un do.ibudly circumscribe the original islands, as well as indicate their posi tion, by occupying the channels be tween them, the remainder of the Water area having been recovered by erecting walls of masonry upon piles nlong the lino of these canals, and fiJliiig in behind -with earth brought from the ntMrest islands or the main land. The walls are usually of block of granite, laid in courses, upon which the buildiiiffs along the canals rose aB their immediate foun dations. The pafiscnger in a gondola find himself between parallel rows of hoii-i-s rising from the water three, four and live stone high, with win dows upon the caiiiil the same as a btreet, and with a front door opening upon a flight of ntone steps descend ing into the water. The branch canals are from ten to thirty feet wide, with an average depth not exceeding fifteen feet. They are short and often crooked, but all alike arc swept out daily by the tides, which keep the water pure and clear. It is in virtue of the salt water Kiid the tide that Venice id hubittble an well as healthy. There le not. probably, an acre of landwith lu Its limits not touched by some one of thee canals. They may bs likened to thestreetnof auiediovafcity, which run wherever a street was supposed to be necessary, without regard to width or cjrvituro. It must not be supposed that the Venetians wore insensible to the ad vantages of streets of solid earth cov ered with pavement. There are twenty-one hundred and niuoty-four uch streets In Venice, as unique aB its canals, and used even more con fctautly. They aro narrow, short, and many'of them crooked, but they pen etrate every part of the city. A large proportion of them are mere lanes, from eix to seven feet wide, between houses rising four and five Btoriea on either side. The widest of them do not exceed twenty-five feet, and the average width is probabiy lees than ten. Another peculiarity is their shortness in u ntraight line. It would be difficult to find in Venice a single straight street fifteen hundred feet in length. They terminate abruptly, and turn at a right angle, or at any pther conceivable augle, or ruu on curves. All these afreets, however, are cov ered with a Kuss pavement, the stones being closely jointed, and smooth on the surface. In the narrowest streets they are set level from side to side, and crowuiug in thode which are wi der. Along one side, and sometimes pn both, and about ten feet apait, are gutter stones, cut through topase sur face water or ruin into conduits be neath. The openings are but six inches long and an inch wide, thus f-howinsr that the uuantitv of water which falls in the streets is not large. Great care is taken of these streets. They?& re sept clean daily, and so well-cared for that there are but few places in Venice Yvhere the air is not sweet and pure which is more than can be said of most large cities. It is doubtful whether the Venetians wo'd have made broad streets, for climatic reasons, If they could have afforded the room. During a large part of the year the rays of the sun are too pow erful to walk with safety in their glare. Venetians in exposed place habitually seek the shady side of the streets and squares. Their narrow streets allord the desired protection, and enable them to keep in a temper ature substantially uniform. The picture thus given of the streets of Venice is rather uninviting. It is modified verv much by the numerous pquares which relieve the closeness of the street intersecting them, as well a presenting a too great compactness of inhabitants. There are two hun dred and ninety-four of these sq 'ares scattered through the city, affording pleasant sites for rc-sideuees and churches. The streets cross the branch canale bv means of three hun dred and efchtv-seven bridges, mostly many rrooks and turns, and with so (I' Itfe-e tllv. ini.t'HL n lirauniuf; u;winu, . , lUrn side the wliirlwiiid's'force ; I ', jtf.m not that the mighty mind u'uidtwt-r before the blast of hate, orouail t Jrk or causeless 111: of stone, consisting of a single arch, marked "A" in the schedule hereto provided by the proviso oi section in any justice's or other competent wise made, shall operate as eviuenre, r ith a rondwav t?radcd into low stens. annexed, shall be payable upon all i eight of this aet : Provided, jurthir, court; and in any such proceeding it ' of the release or satisfactory of any jjujlge oi toe part at which ,V" , bie length of the voyage : and such otlicer may. if iSveSSPiaSl i?

The very smallest of these urchins, however, will go, not straight to the spot, for that is impossible, but on the angles of incident and rellection, which, when repeated often, enough, will fi nally light upon the place. The streets of Venice are silent as compared with tho?e of other cities. There ia neither a horse nor caniuge, nor even a hand-cart to he seen in any thoroughfare. It is a quiet, noiseless city, free from the duat and din and rattle which are so incessant in large cities. And yet its streets are thronged throughout the day, and present the same picture of animated life as those of other cities. Packages and small burdens are carried b3 hand, or in baskets, or upon the back; but larger parcels, merchandise, and bulky ma terials arc transported by gondola or barge. The residences, factories, and warehouses upon the canals have a connection with the street as well as entrances from the canal. Business seems to be transacted with reasonable convenience, notwithstanding the an omalous conditions tinder which it is done. The people seem to be busily engaged at something, although the number of idlers is large. Venice has a much larger number of the latter class than it can afford to keep. They gather in the squares and market pla ces, or lounge upon the quays. In this laud of sunshine and cheap po lenta the smallest muountnf industry afl'ords a subsistence. "What should be a blessing to the people is ai actual detriment under a land system now prevnling in Italy, as iniquitous in principle as it is destructive of nation al prosperity, because it removes all stimulus to imlutitry.JIiirjicr'sMuff uzincfor September.
