THE NORrHW EsTERN LAKES.

Extract from travellers Leltel, publish.
ed in be Baltimore PatIiot:
Zone morn. ng's dawn found US in the
midst OF Lake Huron, with one wide expanse
of water all around US, and IN the ito me-
novel situation OF belhg entirely OUT Of slgnt
o. land, and that too in fresh water. The
lake vas perfectly smooth aud undlsturbt d,
save by the ripples made by our boa; which
chased each other in long and .unduIanng
lines as far as the eye could reach. And here
was exhibited beautiful spectacle, which
never recollect 10 ha seen before. HaViH 9
the sun directly eastern of us, a clearly defined
IRIS was formed on each side OF Our boat from
the spray thrown up by the wheels, and for
some time attended our progress. From the
agItatcd surface Of the water upon which il
was cast, It was consta IL; fiinkering and
changing, fading into nothIngness almost be.
lore its image was clearly SIX tche out, ONLY
10 be painted anew by the next dash of the
spray, and thus continuing ITS momentary
and fitful existence until the SUI, from It's
increased altitude failed any longer to smile
1T into being.
'YOu can form no correct idea OF the xtcnt
an4 magnihceDce of these noble lakes, with
out 81 eng them and sailing over them. They
occupy, II Is true, large space upon the
map, but the imaglna ion will not, without
aid, expand itself To the reality. Their actual
dime nsions h VI not been asce rtained with
perfecl accuracy, the books which | have
seen differing widely in the estimates. Cal
culatl0ns have been made as 10 then depth,
but these also vary. Superior, Michigan
and Huron have been set down at an average
of nine hundred feet; but this is thought by
many to be too httic; and, indeed, 1t must
he difficult, if not lmprac'Icable, to come TO
correct measurement; the reply made to
my questions GENERALLY Was, "tnere IS no
bottom to them. or none has yet been found"
The snperfic' Of these great inland seas,
with all their tributaries, has been estimated
at one hundred aud one hundred and fifty
thousand square miles, and they are said to
contain nparfv Que half the fresh water on
the surface Of tn earth. Surround these on
every side with country, unsurpassed IN
the fertility of its so in the variety of Its
productions, and in its mineral resource s,
and settle that country with an intelligent,
enterprising and "go.ahead" population, and
YOU may form some faint stimate of the
elements which are at work to hurry on this
favorable region TO future greatness and a
glorious destiny.

HANGING.-We take the follow
ing from Capt. Marryatt's new
work.
II think it was Wilkes who said
that the very worst use to which
you couIdput man was to hang
him; and such appears to be the o.
pinion in America, That hanging
does not prevent crime, where peo-
pie are driven into it by misery and
want, believe; but it does prevent
crime where people commit it mere
Iy from an unrestrained indulgence
of their passions. his has been
satisfactorily proved in the United
States. At one time the murders
in the city of New Orleans were
just as frequent as in all the states
contiguous to the Mississippi; but
the population of the city determin-
ed to put an end to such scenes of
outrage,-The population of New
Orleansis very different FIR that
of the southern states in general,
being composed of Americans from
the eastern states, English mer-l
chants, and French creoles. Wig
orous laws and an efficient police
were established; and one of the
southern planters of good family
and connexions, having committed
murder, was tried and condemned
To avoid tGe gallows, he committed
suicide in prison. This system
having been rigourouly followed up,
New Orleans has become perhaps
the safest city in the Union; and
now, not even a .brawl is heard in
those streets where, a few years
back, murders occurred every hour
of the day."

r :E TEr RITORY OF FLORIDA

w have received from correspondent at

The following very reasonable and Apo
site remarks on the banking system, are CO.
pi. from the NV York Herald.
The whole system, in truth, is tottering
upon the verge of rum: and othing short of
IL miracle can prevent an explosion that will
carry it ''sky high" ror the last few yeas
the warning and expostulatIon of the people,
and the press, against the lnroads that the
banks, and Legislators who granted them,
we're making upon individual rights and the
public interest, has been treated and fought
against bv thr money faction of the country,
as mere question of party pOlitIcs. All the
argument and reason That has been urged a.
guInst the couise OF the banks, as eadlng in.
evltably to the DISASTROUS results now seen
ind felt, have been studiously smothered by
those whose interest it was to blind and de-
Jude; and in this nothing was found SO prac-
'lcable as resort to party prejudice. Thank
God, however, this hImsy screen has at length
been perforated, and the light of truth is fast
making it, way to the reason aud understand
Tug Of men. he error now begins to be
perceived by the sensible of all parties, and
the county Is disposed to treat the question
as one of abstract science. When this shall
be done, and the benefits of banking and the
nonstrous evils of the system will both be
perceived and a salutary reform may be ex-
pecied We do not wish to be understood as
meaning by reform, any attempt to patch up
that which experience has demonstrated to
be bad; but through radical, total reform. We
mus to first principles; men who have mo-
ney to lend, and not men who want to Dor.
row, must be bankers. They will of course
lend it in small sums and at short dates, and
in no case without prospect OF payment; a
paper currency will be used where it is real
" required. for large mercantile operations,
as it would be, if there were not bank in
existence; and the ordinary, every day chan.
nels of circulation will be supplied BY the
metals. So soon as party Glamour shall cease
to sway the judgment of men upon the sub
iect, and they will pause but long enough to
enquire and TO understand, the reform must
commence. and though il will take years 70
effect Il, we believe there are many grey
heads who will see its accomplishment. e

COIumbuS'S MiStGke.--One of the
most singular mistakes ever made
by greet man, and one deeply preg-
nant with evil results to the person
making it, was that committed by
Columbus, during his voyage along
the southern coast of Cuba, in 1894.
The great distance which his YES
sells had sailed, led the intrepid dis
coverer to suppose that Cuba was
not an island, but a portion of the
mainland-the extreme end of the
Asiatic continent, in short. But he
was determined that there should be
no ground left for the cavilling of
enemies, and he sent a notary, ac-
companied by four witnesses, to
each vessel of his squadron, to de-
mand OF every person on board, from
the highest to the lowest, whether
they had any doubts on the subject.
Every one concurred with the adj
miral. A proclamation was the is
sued, declaring that whoever of the
crews should contradict the opinion
thus avowed, should be severely
punished.-A formal statement was
then drawn up, and signed by every
person present, Of their, conviction
ofthp truth of the admira's opinion.
The mere fact of such an error be-
ing committed, in the then existing
ignorance respecting the new found
world, was nothing,-its singularity
consisted in its happening under
particular circumstance. "ThiS
singular process" Il. e. the signing
of the statement mentioned, says
Mr.. Irving, ''tOok place near that
deep bay, called by some the Bay Of
Philippine, by others of Cortes. T
this very time, as has been remark
ed, a ship-boy from the mast head
might have overlooked the group Of
islands to the south, and have be-
held the open sea beyond. Two or
three days further sail would have
carried Columbus round the ex-
tremity of Cuba, would have dis
PEELED his iIInsion, and might have
given an entirely different course to
his subsequent discoveries. In his
present conviction he lived and died;
believing to his last hour, that Cuba
was the extremity Of the Asiatic
continent.

n MOther-There is something
in sickness that breaks down the
pride of manhood; that softens the
heart and brings it back to the feel
ings of infancy. Who that has suffer
ed, even in advanced life, in sick
ness and despondency-who that
has pinned in a weary bed, to the
neglect and loneliness ola foreign
land, but has thought of the mother
"that looked on his childhood" that
smoothed down his pillow, and adj
ministered to his helplessness? oh,
there is an endearing tenderness in
the love Of a mother to her son, that
transcendeth all other affections OF
the heart. 1t is neither to be chill
ed by selfshness, nor daunted bv
danger, nor weakened BY worthless
ness, nor stifled by ingratitudes.-
She will sacrifice every comfort to
his convenience, she will surrender
every pleasure to his enjoyment;
she will glory in his fame, and exult
in his prosperity; and, if adversely
overtake him, he will be dear to her
by his misfortune. and if disgrace
settle upon his name; she will love
and cherish him, and if aIIthe world
cast him off, she will be all the world
to him.
