There are about twelve hundred of the inhabitants that are of this
congregation, who have for some years had the benefit of the organ; and
though it looked and sounded strange to the quakers at first, yet they
are now so far reconciled to it, as to bear with their neighbours having
it without grumbling. There are, besides this, several meeting-houses;
viz., for the quakers, who are properly the church as by law established,
being the originals; the presbyterians, the baptists, and a Spanish
church.

According to the plan, there is in each quarter of the city a square of
eight acres, intended for the same uses as were Moorfields in
London--walks and exercises for the citizens. The great dock is formed
by an inlet of the river Delaware, at the south corner of the front of
the wharfs, and has a bridge over it at the entrance: several creeks run
into the city out of the two rivers; and there is no city in Holland that
is so naturally accommodated with fine and commodious canals, as this
might very easily be. The quay is beautiful, about two hundred feet
square, to which a ship of five hundred tons may lay her broadside; and,
as these surprising advantages have already rendered it one of the best
trading towns in the British empire out of Europe, so in all probability
it will continue to increase in commerce, riches, and buildings, till for
number and magnificence it will have no equal in America; where the
French have not, nor are likely to have, any thing like it. Here are
almost all sorts of trades and mechanics, as well as merchants and
planters. Here the assemblies and courts of judicature are held, and the
business of the province is chiefly managed, as in all capitals. Here
are printing-houses, and several newspapers published. In a word, here
are all things necessary for an Englishman's profit and pleasure.

Mr. Carew, walking through the High-street, had a mind to refresh himself
with a nip of punch; the first public house he chanced to come to was
kept by an Irishman, and asking him if he sold punch, Yes, my dear honey,
replied the man. Arrah, says Mr. Carew, are you my countryman, dear joy?
quite in the Irish brogue. Yes, replied the man: What, do you belong to
one of our vessels?--No, but I belong to Captain Dubois, of Dublin, who
was taken off the Capes, and carried into the Havannah.--Arrah, dear joy,
I know Captain Dubois very well, replied the Irishman, come in.
Accordingly in went Mr. Ca
