800 poor houses, at the charge Of the Gov
ernment, and 40 work houses, in which
more than 1000 are employed; but the sys-
tenn of colonization has succeeded so well
that very soon there will be no more occa-
sion for these work houses. There are al
ready ten colonies, 1--WE believe they have
been planted on the waste lands which are
found in the Nertherlands,) of which eight
are on the Northern Provinces, and two IN
the Southern. They contain 600 houses, and
between 1000 and 5000 persons who have
already brought great deal OF land under
cultivation. In general, these colonies have
succeeded beyond expectation; they have
both schools and churches, and present an
appearance of contentment. The number
of poor in the Netherlands leads to re-
markable conclusion.-lf among 100 individ-
uals there are u paupers, the latter must be
nourished by the remaining 49, But OF
these, not above "a will be males; but sup
posing some of the fl s'es W r.. we must
still deduct the children and the aged. But
we must also deduct the members OF admin
istration, with all the subalterns OF govern
ment, the military, the clergy, ect. whence
we NAV conjecture, that in 100 persons
there are not 90 who work, and whose la
