THE NoRTHMEN.

Pliny Mills, ESQ, lectured in New York on
the evening Of the I'd inst, upon lcelandic His
tory and Literature. Among other things Mr.
Nj. undertook 10 prove that the American con
'tinent was discovered in 800 by Northman,
named Eric, the red, and that captain Ericsson,
of Caloric celebrity, is lineal descendant Of
the original pioneer. The Herald has the fol-
lowing comment upon this lecture
The lecture abounds with facts of very at.
tractve nature, and the descriptions are vivid,
gra,nic, and eloquent Mr.. Miles shows that
the great sculptor, Thorwa.dsen, and captain
Ericsson, the inventor of the new motive pow
er, are Of lcelandic descent, and thar mo coun-
try in The world has a right to be more proud Of
its poetry and general literature. There are
ne ewsp0pprs printed on the island, though in the
capital of Sicily, an island OF about the same
size, and the very garden Of the world, MI. III
states he did not find one. We believe this
gentleman is the shird American traveller who
visited iceland, and yet he found there the New
York Herald, side by side with the London
Times The magnificent map with which the
lecturer illustrated his paper is proof the ad
vanced intelligence and education of the people,
and shows that erroneous ideas are generally
entertained of them. 1t is now demonstrated
that the IceIanders anticipated in Ecropeans
the discovery Of the American continent, having
undoubtedly visited and landed uponthc eastern
coast of N America, in the year 1000, while it is
known that Columbus visited iceland In the
early part OF the fifteenth century That coun
try has peculiar interest for Americans, as il
was republic till the neighboring Dunes took
possession of it, from which time they have
Il Il a. -
after the fashion of the British ,subiugation and
oppression Of Ireland. All that the Icelanders
ask is free trade with the rest the world,
which hitherto has been denied them by their
#tyrants. Nothing can speak more highly for
this northern race, than the fact that there is
not policeman in their island, and their goods
are never placed under lock or key But for
further details we mnst refer our readers to the
lecture itself.

A SEREsApE.
BY J. A. LinneIl.

The stella beams Of argent light
On Beauty softly fall
The countless eyes Of heaven are bright,
And sweetly smile on all.
Awake from sleeps delusive dreams,
And tune devotion's string,
Come bask with Beauty in her beams,
And hear your mnstrels sing. @ "a
The wooing zephyrs gently sigh
Calm silence fills the grove
All things are lovely to the eye
The world is full of love;
Awake awa axe each lovely maid,
And tune the hearts fond string;
Come listen to the serenade
Your yo,ive minstrels sing.
The guardian spirits of the night,
Their peerless vigiis keep
The waves are dancing with delight.
All. wherefore do ye sleep'
Awake from sleeps delusive dreams,
Tune each melodinus string,
Come walk with Beauty in her beams,
And hear your minstrels sing.

our opinion, be completed in ten years, and ten
chances to one, If, at the expiration of this
period, you could induce man, Who valued
health and life, TO venture within forty miles of
the place.
Again-by running pier out to the main
river, have You any assurance OF good and
permanent improvement We think not. The
currents are so constantly changing, that wha'
might be deep water this year, would be shoai
water cxt. aud what might be a safe retreat
from the spring floods this year, might be under
mined and washed away next. The Islands,
at the East side Of which, it IS proposed TO con
struct this harbor, are constantly and rapidly
wearing away by the action of the water and
opposite to Barney's Cut, where two years aga,
the water was ten feet deep, you can scarcely
now Aoat a skiffs By the change of current, a
sand bar has risen almost to the surface, and
who knows bat in iY yeafs, it may become an
sland ofrespcetab.e size.
Again-what protection would harbor Of the
kind proposed, be to boats, whose owners might
wish to lay them up here for the winter? No
protection at all. indeed there would be no
sort Of security against TIE ice aud floods Of the
spring season: while the present Improvement
if successful, would atf,rd i haven for large
amount Of shipping end as free from the oerils
Of high water and mountains Of ice, as the ship
uing of Now York harbor is, from the pcrils Of
the Atlantic
Looking at this subject in all is different
faces-viewing it in every conceivable shape
that the ingenuity of mind Gun suggest--and de.
liberating upon it with desire to arrive at just
and wholesome conclusions--we cannot escapr|
the conviction, that the present. is the only prac
tcabIe improvement; and that, il we now aban
donA, we not only present ourselves to stran-
gers, as an unstable and vacillating community,
but lose the chance Of harbor for years to
come.
There is an other subject, which merits brief
notice. Zone Percent Tax Payer frs. assais
the character Of Mr.. Hawley by calling in ques
tiol his ability to make good his contract, and
then perpetratesan act Of bad faith towards The
City, BY advising him as a friend, to abandon
the contract and wrong the City out of what
money be has already received. Firts, Mrsl
Hawley and his securities are pronounced worth
less; and an inference is left upon the public
mind. that they would as soon wrong the cit-
zens as not; and then right upon The heels Of
this, Hawley is advised 10 spirit ot apparent
|
y condemned and SO repnsnant to every senti-
ment of justice and honesty. The morality Of
such correspondence, we hunbly submit, should
never commend itself to the wise and good and
can nsver advance, but is well calculated to
retard, the interests Of this City.

ed in an ordinance, which passed the Council
on the Il lth inst, and was Published in the Ga
lena Advertiser of the 12sh, which can be seen
At shis Office, if any one has . desire to see it.
The first section Of the ordinance stipnlates
that the company shall be permitted to LAY down
two railroad tracks in the City and run their
cars over thssa BY steam: This we UNDER
stand TO have been the great cause Of differ
ence between the City and the Company. The
City wishing the company to propel their cars

We reoice that the matter is anicably arr
ranged, although our astute neighbors of the
ebay have suffered somewhat in their pride
and failed % acquire control overthe Company,
which would make Galena stopping place for
