Composed of mountains, rocks and solid ice-masses, it is a pii lnre of Cha;is and eternal Winter. It is separated from the American Conti- nent by Davis' Straits and Baffin's Hay, aud the Arciic Ocean breaks on its eastern i shore. Its extent in the northward and westward is unknown- The interior of this reat triangular realm is totally un explored; the Kuiopean settlements are scattered along the Western Coast, and ! contain from six to seven thousand iohabi ! t:mts.

'I be interior of Greenland is a terrible chaos, so torn anil shattered by deep fis sures into which the sun never shines and over which tremendous glaciers thrust their edges, ttiat travelling is utterly impossible. All attempts to cross from the western to the eastern coast have been frustrated. The bold adventure's who attempted the feat, found only an alternation of deep chasms and high crags, rocks and ide a more desolate and forbidding waste than the islands and inlets along the sea. The glaciers of the interior shove themselves deep into the inlets and buys and have completely fitted many of them. In other places, the ice forms lofty promontories, reaching far into the -ocean: Where the glacier ice 1. tines in contact with the a!t' water, it foriusj masses of every conceivable hapf. As it gnu! nail v slifes down the teep Ielge and dec ti vitie. it is gnawed by the wave below, though not diminish d in bulk, since new ice continually- lid los. buildii g up another pile uputi its rums. hen the.e projecting masses' can m longer bear their own weight, they sep arate from the original g!a it r and plunge in enormous fragments into. the sea, form ing ' hoe icebergs, which are so common in the Northern Atlantic.

Many of them are formed high in IVt (fin's Bay. float to (he south and ar can led in such qumtities upon the eo4st t Greenland by tie strong south western current, that they frequently crow d together so as to form a solid barrier b-tween that coast ami Ireland.

While they thu flo.t, slow ly dissolving into the ocean, they often assume the most wonderful forms; they resemble p ilaces, rathediats and old fort resses, with ate a v s. window and low ers all built ol spotless marble ami shining in the sun li.e silver. Sometimes they resemble ships, tree or beati. or parting the light with their cubic, splinters, cover themselves with prUmatic glories Those who approach them are thrilled with a powerful feeling of terror, for the ice mas ses frequently crash in pieces, am! as sometimes in the lps the bell is taken from the .neck of the leader mule least its sound should sfart the sleeping avalanche. in the Northern Seas the Esquimaux suspends bis oar anil makes no sound as he passes these treacherous islands of ice. The coast rises almost immediately from the sea to a I. eight of from 2 to three thou sand feot. and the d im, sea-air has an un favorable eftVct upon tt. The great south ern oceanic currents pass at some distaneO Irom the s!ioi es of (jr-enl.ind, while on the o'her hand the Polar currents, which hrhig down the icebergs and ice-fields, wash them on Lo'h sides. During the brief Su id mer this ice appeal s in great masses; in inter it partially disappears. In Up- pernav ik. 72 deg. 43 min., the cold some tioios rearhes to SC. or even 48 deg., be low zero.

Ihe northern mirage or fluctuation of the horizon lifts landscapes above their actual place, while objects lying far b low the reach of vision are brought into sight, fre quently in -a broken or reversed position. Towers, castles and cilies are charmed in to existence, as by the Fate Morgana of Sicily.- It is evident, from the disposition of Greenland, that its botany and zoology must be veiy limited; either differs but slightly from that of the neighboring island of Iceland. The habitations of men are scattered along the coast, and do not dif fer in appearance. The European settle ments are only on the Western side, generally upon small islands. Esquimaux dwell as far north as 78 deg. -as far, that is to say, as the extremity of Baffin's' Bav. Sir John Moss found natives under the de gree of 76. who had come from the North. The Greenlanders belong decidedly to the Esquimaux race. Their bodily habits, their speech, and their manner of lifa de monstrate that they are. members of that Family of Polar men,' which is found every where in the high North, from Lap land t Baffin's Bay, on the eastern coast of Greenland, by the se t shore, ::ntf, -it might almost be" said, in the midst uf the ice and snow, wherever the seal is to be found Tbe Greenland Esquimaux name themselves Inmril, signifying men, or human beings. They seem to have made their appearance on the western coast ii the fourteenth century, and under thr name of -SkraIItner,' are mentioned i. the annals ol the Icelandic colonies in that region. They Are supposed to have lived on the American Continent at one time, as far South as Vinland. or New England, and to have been gradually forced to the North by other wild races. Their own traditionsindicate that they reached Green land at a enrnp iratively late period. They are of a stout build, below the medium height, have broad, tl.it faces, inexpressive eyes, small noses, thick tinder-lips, and coarse black hair, which hangs Over their brown faces. Their skin is nevertheless rather fair than da ik, but appears brow n iu consequence of its lilthintss. and gives out a repulsive, fatty tneil, - which is al most insupportable tu Europeans. In the Southern part, we see more slender figures, more agreeable f .ices and more ex pressive eyes. The Greenlander is lazy, anil inditlerent to what takes pi .tee around hiin. but iti geneial cheerful and well dis posed, lie seldom involves himself in ;i quarrel, or even comes to hot words, lie is changeable, troubles himself only about his nearest interests or his absolute neces sities, and when he has a chance, delights in sleeping night aud day. The vanity of these people is very striking. According to their opinion, all other people are in ferior to them, and when they wish to piaisc a stranger '.hey say ; He is as ueil in structed as we,", or 'Vile begins to be an luuuit." Crimes or acts of violence seldom occur; whoever injures another is pub licly scoffed a(aud scorned, for the Green landers have a strong inclination to satire and a biting tongue. Tbe Norwegian Missionary. Egi dc, who settled . among them in toe year 1721, had to bear a great deal in the commencement of his labors. They compared his large nose with the Stag Horn peak, and when he related to tliemt:ie Jiie and sullerings of Christ, they reiiiaike.l : if lie had. come among us, we would have loved llim and been obe dient to llim.

They neither form a State, nor possess any Government or kind of authority whatever. This is explained bv the sim ple circumstance that they need nothing of tin- kind, in Summer they live in tents, in winter in houses or rather huts which are from five to six feet high, twelve broad, and a hundred leet long, often con taining several families under the same roof. The walls are covered on the inside with skins to keep out the dampness and cold air. Abroad be rich runs along the side ; a kettle of stone or iron hangs over a train oil lamp, which sifpplies the place of a stove or hearth. Tbe windows are' formed of the entrails of the wha'e and seal, instead of glass. The entrance is through a long. narrow passage, through which the hot air escapes, and although there is no door, such a heat. is kept up in side that even in winter the Greenlanders go al most without clothes. A European cannot exist in such filth and stench. Since the natives subsist principally up on the supplies which the sea affords ihem, they bestow great pains on the construc tion of their boats, which they guide and propel with great dexterity. The kayak, or man's boat, is from twelve to fourteen' feet long, only 18 inches broad and 12 inches deep, . having a skeleton nf wood and fish-bone, covered on all sides with skins made perfectly vyater- tight, and' weighing, at most, only thirty pounds. In the middle is a well secured opening, into which the Esquimaux creeps. He then fastens his coat of seal-skin tight around the entrance, and sits perfectly dry in the middle of the sea In his light skiff he Hies as securely as a sea-gull over the waves, and iu times of the severest cold is kept warm by his own fat. Even when the hayak is overturned, the stroke of an oar is sufficient to restore its equilibrium. but whoever lose, hi oar, is hopelessly, lost. The umiaks are women's boats,, twice as long and three or lour times as broad as the kayaks, very elastic, but with Hat bo: totus, and therefore adapted for a quit sea. They are propelled by four or five women, for among the Esquimaux the severest labors are imposed upon the fe male sex. They make clothes and boot, umiaks & kayaks,' tan leather, build houses, pitch tents, cook and take care uf the, children, while the man considers it un worthy of him to work; his proper employ mentis in catchingseaUand shooting birds. Since tnere are no rich Greenlanders, the bride brings her husband no other dower than strong arms. h is. however, cus tomary and proper, that after the betrothal matter in whieh the parents never interfere she should shut herself up for several days and weep, or run loose among the mountains, whence she is brought back by ths bridegroom. Polygamy allowed., but is only practiced when the first wife remains barren; in w hich case she requests her husband to choose a second.
