A thrilling story is going the rountfoof the papers, taken from the "Naval' and Military* Magazine, 1 ’ which stripped of all embellishment, is to the following purport: Ua the day of the evur-memorahle buttle of Waterloo, Captain \V;,licr Leslie’s young bride, Helen, with feelings mure easily to imagine than describe, took her seat at'a window overlooking the Held of dreadful conflict; but being witniu reach of ran* deal shut, she, w ith Che oilier Inmates, retired to a barn as a place of »alely, and there remained in enxiuus Ktispciue, during the whole day. Some time in the night, Capt.Bryan was brought tc the barn, badly wounded. Helen, with the iteccss if ns which her lore Codings had suggested, tenderly dressed youugllryaii’s wounds, and alter his revival, ventured to enquire' after her Waller, Bryan's evasive-answer but loo fatally portend im( the worst, She him to tell her Che circumstances, for she know her husband was dead. Bryan then slated that just before going into action, (Japt. Leslie thrust a small Bible m his btisain, charging him that if he loll in action, faitliluily lodtlivcr the sacred relic to Ins beloved Helen. Liu few moments elapsed before he did fall. Alter learning irom Bryan the spot at which Walter felt, she went alone in the night, lantern m her hand, into the Held of the dead and Ilyins, the plunging of wounded horses and other frightful eights, in search of the remains of her beloved. I)it the point of returning, in despair of finding llto object of her anxious search among such a mass of carnage, her attention was drawn to an outstretched hand, on winch was lound the well known ring ol her husband, who was partly buried beneath a pile t)f other bodies. Whilst alone engaged in the release of the object of her affection, two soldiers sent by Cupl. Bryan, came to her assistance, and bore "Ancestor’s dear remains" to the same room with the wounded Captain. The Suigeuit, applying the glass to the lips of Leslie, declared mat lid*yet lived. The shock ol joy was loo great tor the dencatu system of. Helen; ono vacant stare, ami site £.'11 lildess to the tioor; several hours being spent in restoring her to sensibility, and the embrace of her loud Welter. The small blblu was presented to Leslie by Helen on their wedding day; neither of t tie in dreaming that the holy book was to be the salvation of the Captain’s temporal Inc. The bill had spent tts force in the tolds o! the Bij.e, which is How religiously preserved in the lamily ss a perpetual memoriii 1 ol tluu extraordinary Fruviaeiice,

Karlt Discovery op America. —Tito Copenhagen Antiquariana have recently discovered new evije. icr.a of the early < settlement of ibis Continent by. tlie Scandinavians. _Hr. Lund, a celebrated Danish geologist, has communicated to the Not them ArcmsJlug.cul Society, an inturesiling account, o) bume exhumations made by him in too i iciimy of Bahia, m itrazil, which are confirmatory ul the ccaiidinavian, hypothesis. His discoveries began wuti the fragment of a flag-smiio, covered with engraved Uunic characters, but greatly injuicd. Having succeeded in decy putting several words, which he recognised ao belonging to Hie IcclatidUh tongue, he extended his researches, and soon came Upon the tbunilaiiona ul Louaua in hewn atone, bearing a strong uiciiiiccnirat resemblance 10 tue rums existing in the non hern parts of Norway, in Iceland, and in Uretnlaiid. Thus encomagcd lie went resolutely on, and at length, uher several nays’ digging, found ilio Scandinavian god ol thunder, there, witn all his annumes—the Itatnmcr, gauntlets, and magic girdle.—The Society has commissioned 1’rof, Rain (who first established, in an authentic manner, the existence ot ancient' relations between Iceiand and North America, anterior to .the discovery ol this part of the world, by Columbus,) to report on the subject of Hr. Lund’s letter, and to publish his report, with a view to direct the alien non of the learned to this very interesting discovery, which would seem to prove that iIre ancieits ol the North had not only extended their maritime voyages to South America, but even funned permanent establishments i,i the country.

After we came on board the boat, wo heard the Indians in their war dance. Captain S. got them to ilauco by giving them same flour and pork. There were about three hundred oJ’lhem, including *qiuns, ami about thirty danced, who threw on tueir blankets and appeared with tftcir bodies painted lead color. Their, heads were decorated with a number of le uIutb, one kind of which tney wcarwucii They liavu taken a scalp, .b&v'mg a leather lor each one. At intervals one of the warriors woul. enter the circle and relate hla daring deeds—of course 1 could nut understand what they. ta:d, as they spoke.in their own language. When one spoke the rest ’applauded loudly. They danced to the sound of an mat rumen I similar to a drum. It was made of a keg, one end being covered with a piece of parchment—on tins they beat with sticks rounded at the ends. They sang all the while, keepjog tuch times as would aelunUh some of our ball room ladies. At the conclusion of each dance, they gave the war-whoop, ami such hideous yells liiOrer |i“ard before—their dancing and music arc monstrous indeed. .Some of them had small looking glasses suspended around their waists, which glittered in the sun asihey danced. They were all slightly but elegantly made, their hands ami feel small—grace and dignity were in.every movement. 1 noticed one child about three years old' who folded a peice of cheek (which.he had instead of a blanket) around h in form with a grace that appeared to he instinctive. One Indian had Ins face as black a* he could paint it, being in mourning for lua *qiuw. The scene was one lit for the pencil uf an artist—the fort high above, the. Indians, tome dancing in a circle, others reclining on the gtuund, some leaning on their muskets, the tijuaws in their Canoes, the sentinel parading un the bank, the wig warns, hi the distance, ilte while men mingled with the ted units uf the- forest all lormed a striking picture. 1 gazed at the Indiana and. listened lu their yell, and could think of nothing but demons, so wild was their appearance, and 80 unearthly their cries.
