Some of the papers give currency to an
account of a Capt. Bently, who has lately
arrived in London, and states that he sail
ed in latitude 81 North, by longitude 30
degrees and 80 minutes West, the pre-
else latitude and longitude of Iceland
The idea conveyed is, that the Island has
been torn topieces and sunk by vulcan
ic eruption, which, indeed, the narrator.
Capt. Bently, says he saw the final erup
ton ofthe Island. Iceland in size is near
" equal to England, with population of
10000, all of which, according to this ac-
count, must have persisted.

TO THE PJJBIJC

will ask the intelligent readers, which
they value most, Character or Property
Methinks they instantly reproach me fol-
asking question, which child might an
swer, and correctly too. Where is the
man, SO devoid of sensibilty, that he would
not prefer even death itself to total loss
of character? Yet this same man would
cling to life with utmost tenacity, should
adverse fortune sweep from him the whole
OF his property. Having made these pre-
fatory remarks, let us take view Of, or
contrast the characters of men, who rob,
or steal property, and those who rob, or
steal character. Now, man who way
lays us in the woods, and robs us of our
money, is execrated by the whole world !:
aye, so black is the deed acknowledged,
that all intelligent communities have re-
venged itby taking the life of the robber.
All will admit, however, that where the
robber neither takes, nor attempts to take
life, that there is kind of bravery in the
act, which inspires some degree of respect:
but the thief, who acts in the absence of
the owner of the property, he takes, or I'M
der the shadow of night, is not only de-
void of all principle, but is the basea of
cowGrds But he, who takes our charac-
ter from us without cause or provocation,
when we are present to defend ourselves.
is worse than robber; as he takes from
us that whichis dearer than property
"He, that takes my money, steals trash
but he, that takes my good name, does me
an injury, which cannot be repaired" SAYS
a learned and wise writer We see in this
case, however, little savage bravery;
but he, that stabs our character in our alb
sence, cannot plead even this savage vir-
tue to mitigate the rOitherine frocn of an
intelligent community; but is verify the
basest of base cOwardS.
Every man of judgment or discrimina-
ton will admit the correctness Of these
positions. 1t now remains to apply our
to individuals--to bring them
home to the very door of the Mief of cha
racter.

suits against the proprietors Of steam
boats for injuries or losses, in consequence
of the bursting of the boilers, collapses OF
flues, &c. &C., the fact of the bursting or
the collapses, &C., shall be pfima facie
evidence, to charge the defendahts--nnd
they can only clear themselves by prov
ing that the loss or injury happened wita-
out any negligence Of the proprietors, or
any person in their employment. This will
make proprietors Of boats carefulas to the
persons whom they employ as captains,
engineers, &c.
This provision is just, since those who
conduct the boat, and manage the steam,
can show that it was accident, and not neg
ligence, if the truth be so:-Whereas, a
who has lost his property or
his limbs, or freighter who has lost his
goods, can usually prove nothing but the
fact of the explosion. This important pro-
vision, we doubt not, will be highly salu-
tary by putting the owners of boats upon
their coution."

NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL.

We learn from the Louisville Journal
that Felix Grundy has been nominated
and confirmed as Attorney General of the
United States, in place of Mr.. Butler, re-
signed. AS natural consequence, the
editor of that Journal scowls with the bit
terness usual to him under defeat.
The most meritorious and virtuous citi-
zens in the land, never fail to meet the
most rascally abuse from this boar of Lou
isvllle. The fact is, Mr.. Grundy is a man
of the most exalted virtue and talents, in
our country and will soon be looked upon
as one of our brightest luminaries. We
rejoice at his elevation, as heartily as his
enemies regretit it.

1t is mind that moves the world "Know-

enabled Demasthenes to thwart the de-
signs Philip, to rouse the empire of the
Greeks to deeds of daring and achieve
ment unparalleled in the annals of histo-
ry. 1t was his mind that moved the whole
machine of war-that constituted him

IMPORTANT STEAM BOAT RII1.

"The Steam Boat Bill has became a
law of the land. 1t contains several pro-
visions, which, it is hoped, will tend to the
preservation oflife and property. Perhaps,
however, the most important of all is a
section, introduced on Thursday, by Mr..
Webster.
"By this section, it is enacted that in
