The subject for this evening is one of the inost interesting and exciting in the whole range of geological studies.— That the . nirtb American continent,9vir a large Portion of it, should have been populated, with. lizards of the most enor mous dimensions, While the ()deans and lagoons *ere vexed,with similar mon sters, might we)i eicite our wonder and raise a doubt as to'. the genuineness of our deductions from paleontological data. In the reptilian age, the United States, as represented upon this map,- had assum ed' a contour somc<w•hat -similar to its present coast outline, save that the islands along its scabbard and . the "peninsula of Florida: were not then in existence. The strata of rock which compose the : system or group known as 'the reptilian, com-. meuce at *Martha's Vineyard, and extend in a narrow belt to New Jersey, then rap idly increasing width, they stretch across this lattcr Stitt° and all the Adam- tic States to Georgia. thence broadly across the Giilf! Stack into the liidian country, and the wide savannasof the in terior of the continent, through Kansas, Nebraska, the Aed River of the North to . the Saskatchewan,' and probably to the north as far - as ' the 'continent extends, again west of the ROcky Mountains, fill ing up the great interior basin df . Utah, reaching into CallifpOlia and southwards into Mexico. • ,' ! • 1 The Gulf of Mexico yon perdeive . is much later Min at the present:. - There is no peninsida Of Florida. The ,delta Of the Mississippi mist have been as high up as.Memplils if thissiiver was then in exist ence. We suppose, that it was, for at the close of the carboniferous age, and before the - age 'under dismission this evening_,the Apalachian rarges bad been elevated,apd ' drainage of the continent must have beeri effected by a river system, much as at the present time. Thelhigh plateaus of the carboniferous werer cut through by the Ohio and its affluents; on the west, tfie Potomac, Susquehanna, and Delaware on 1 the east, while the Valley o the Hudso4 was filled by an estuary of he ocean , ex. tending by Lake :George a . d Lake Clian-+ plait, into Canada,' to meet with another estuary filling the valley. of the St. Law . .. rence. - . • NEW 3fIZ.FORII. PA About the middle of this age the valley of the Farmington river Connecticut, in part of the Connecticut above Middleto to the Vermont line, and the New Ha len valley up to-the Farmington, was alio an arm of the sea, in which the red sand stones were laid down ' and on the shore's of this estuary Walked those strange ani mals revealed only 'to us by their "Footprints on the sand,* 1 and pictured in ou'r imaginations as b i rds of t.,dizantie-hight; kangaroos of enormous dimensions, batrachians of fabulous pr portions; and unknown beasts of 814 strange pedal extremities that compara tive anatomy knows not where to find their living analogues. • ' If some sporting cockney, some city Nimrod, should enjoy a hunting season in the,green woods of New Jersey. and re turn bearing.with Ihirn as a trophy of his prowess, aland lizard the size of a small elephant, which he bad sees_essfully bag ged—the-monster, not gagging him—we should be astonished at this modern wan der of the world; Barnum would be on the qui rive, 'neither sleeping nor resting until it reposed bythe side .of his whale and river horse. • Doctoi'Leidy made—an incursion into the cemeteries of the deini of this era, in this State,and exhumed from the marl beds the [ entire skeleton of one of these strange and extinct animals.

And whit is still more significant they tell of marstibial animals, of which the oppossum ill now our only representa tive in the United States, sporting, in the evening twilight ;andmoonskiny nights, feeding upon_ the'iruit-bearing trees which in this. age, began; to adorn the forests of America and enrich them with their.; luee cious pro'dtictions, thus giving cifinble promise of higher - order in the itigetible kingdom, to be intrmigeed into the maw ... .. . • . . . . ..•. . . . . . • . .

He could have gathered nuts from the chestnut, medicines from -the.wil low, poplar and cedar. At,night he could - have. spread his couch with branches of the spruce and made hid siesta by day . under the shade of the' oak or elm as his fancy. might Choose. • The economic minerals of thiOge are mainly the Coal of Richmond, Va., and of Deep and Dan rivers, -of North Carolina. The copper and lead ores of Pa., an 'Belvidere, N-. A., but in general the copper ores are not reliable. Iron ore, as hematite and bog ore, has been found in the Atlantic and Gulf States:— The lime rocks of this age in Mexico and South America are silver-bearing. The lignite beds (coal,), of the, Rocky Moun tains and Pacific coast belong aslo to this age. The fertilizing green 'sand marls of . New Jersq, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, are the peculiar minerals of the cretaceous period. The rich colored fire stones of Connecticut and New Jersey are from the rocks of this age. • SIXTH LECTURE At the era treated in our last lecture, thelitards and of any reptiles -were the most abundant of any class of animals,and they were the highest type of aninials up on the earth.; Next after them were cre ated those animals which suckle their young. These are called mtitnmals froth the latin word, mamma; breast. The characteristic feauture of the mam malian ertrw.as the introduction•of many species of large spimals now extinctoome of them allied.- to existing genera, but most of them haying no living analogues. Animals now only found within' the tropics—as the elephant, rhinoceros; and tape-had their feeding • grounds as far north as Cariada. While the mastodon roamed still farther north, and his limits resehedßom the Rocky Blopntnivl3 to New gngland and lmig Island. In the fivers of Nebraska, swam the hippopota mus, now only found in the waters of the warm regions of Africa. Several species of the rhiaoCeros wallowed in - the cane brakes of the same St: 4e. •In Virginia - and Kentucky, the mam moth sloth, ifcgolodon Jefferson; , brosed on the forests of poplar, willow, and trees of other genera that have come doWn to ourday. Animals- of the- camel order . trod the sandy deserts, the hog wallowed in his mire, the horse skimmed over the plains, the ox fed on the -, broad prairies and ruminated in the shade of forests growing by. the water courses. About the middle - of this era, carniver ons Were introduced; to feed up on the increasing ntultitudesof the minim ants, thus fulfilling the great law of the animal kingdom, that, the enormous poW ,er of reproductiOn given to lower animals should not increase so vastly as to fill the earth to the -exclusion - of others, but that the Malthusian fear of the danger of over powering production, should be removed. by an order of animals destined by habit, dentition, physiology and Alesigi, to feed upon their, fellow animals, and keep with in limits the whither of ilclividnals. A very significant feat re of the close of this era, In the increase of animals allied to our domestic and mats, mirk and flesh- . producing—with burden bearing—while at the same time there was an increase of fruit bearing trees, bread-producing cer eals and grasses clothing - the • plains, not necessary for the old type, and profette of a higher type in the succeeding hr the latter part .of this era appear the monkey tribes—men of the- woods—earli er upon the - Europeim, later hp on the American continent., ACcording to the development, school, these.are the progen itons, of the human race, but according to. a more rational school, and to which - ge ology•lendit all its testimony, they are the ante-type-of man ; just as the closing years of each preceding age gave promise of newer and .higher types in the eras follow ing. , • Our continent received additions in this • ' age along its sea-board line from Lubec; in Maine,. to fiorida, the Gulf slopes of the ' Gulf States, .the valley of the Hudson, Lakes George and Champlain, and the St. Lawrence-received deposits. • We think also that' he blue and yellow clayi of the Slake region belong to the same age. A large inland body of fresh water filled the I eastern part of Nebraska, and with many interruptions, this of similar bodies exten ded by th 4 Red .river of the north, west of lake Winnipeg, perhapi up to .the ar , tic continent.. Greenland also had addi :dons to its' sea-bOard line. Disco Island and the main 'laird have coal or lignite of this age. The dessert of Utah, and south of it, along the Colorado, - and large patch es in California wire covered, by waters of the Gulf of California ,and the Pacific Ocean. . We have no valuable minerals added to our mining treasures in this.age,bUt what is quite equivalent, the gold of the Pacific slope of the continent was washed from the mother vetug and deposited iri plces forlle miners of the present - time. • HONZY Asp Btrrren.—The Rev. Dr. 31 ----was repnted for the iniavity of his manners' and his especial politeness to wards the fair 'sex.—Handing a dish of 11,017 to a lady, at a party in his house, he said in wonted manner, do take a little heney,..Miss.--!--'tis so sweet--so like yourself.' I • - 'Ab,ltfrllluddie,' banding the hatter dish to the host, she - exolahned., DO take a little butter 'iis so like yourself.' The Border States and the Aboli tion Plot• ThiStates of Kentucky and' . Missouri contain a majority of Men favorable to the Union, and willing to fight for its • preservation—that is,for the Union under the Constitution. - Many . of those loyal persons are slave oavners, as they have an unquestionable right to belinder the laws of their States, and denounce and and.ev ery attempt to interfere with.their privil eges in this respect.' Congress assured them that the war had but •one purpose, and that was the preservation of the Un ion', with the rights and institutions of the several 'States unimpaired. Accepting this pledge in good faith, they ranged themselves on the side of the Government 1 and withstood the temptations that sought .to allure . them into the ranks of rebellion. Their firm and devoted loyalty is to be commended ; but how is it regarded by the ultra faction now urging the Govern-' ment into the .adoption of extreme men'. ures ? These men ; say are slave owners-;.-the rebellion is a slaveholders rebellion, and the loyal men of the border States are therefore little bettdr than open enemies so•long as they demand security and protection for their slave property.— We will treat slavery as thereat emu'. nal,n ot withstanding some professedly loy al men have an interest in the institution, and require protection for their rights.— The rule with those who avgue. in this why is, that a slaveholder ins necessarily a -rebel, 'whether he is fighting against the trition or maintains a loyal position. The aim of the radical politicians is apparently to drive the loyal border States into open rebellion, in or der to substantiate the the ory that slavery is the cause of the war, and to destroy that remnant of ' respect for constitutional obligations which still attaches collie people of the Northern States. This result. accomplished, and the extremists would be enabled to point to the defection of every Slave State in the Union Its • incontrovertible evidence , that slavery is the cause of the war, and I demand'with exultation that a blow be struck at the great criminal. If this is not the object of the Abolitionists, why t arc they so anxious to driv . oll' the bor., . der States? . . Every lover of his- country ,must feel the deepest sympathy for the loyal men' of Kentucky, Virginia and Missouri, who have accomplished more, and endured more for the Union than all . the Aboli; tionists put together. -Instead of weaken ing their moral or physical power, our of; forts should be directed strengthening I both—and above all they should not be,'' punished Itor thoir 110 3 - -niiy by being de prived of anvoftheir.constitutional rights. But the Abolitionists seem to be studdy ing how they can best disgust and de grade-the loyal slaveholders, and furnish them with substantial reasonsiorrusling into the arms of the rebel Cenfederacy. If the Union could be restored to-inor raw, without the destruction of slavery; the Abolitionists would 'interpose object ions. No one can have observed—their course without seeing that their object is to destroy slavery by the use'of the war power. or, failing in that, to • divorce the: Northern States from connection with the institution by - a dissolution of the Un ion. Just at this time their faith in the ability of the Government to crush ,rebel lion is wavering ; and their policy, is`to in crease-the enemies of the Union, and the power of the Confederacy, by driving off the border States—then the next step will be to insist upon universal emancipation and arming of the negroes as the last re sort, and when that fails they will 'say : "this contest is hopeless. We cannot sub jugate the South. Let us consent to dis solution, and thank Heaven that we are rid of the great sin of slavery." This is evidently- the programme of the radical party, and the only way of preventing the consummation of their disunion plot is to guard against the first step in it, by main taining the Constitution at all hazaids. HANGING OrdIVE BRIDGE BUILVERS • IS TEN!4ESSEE.—A correspondent of .the Richmond . Examiner writes from Green ville, Tennessee, the following cold-blood ed particulars of thelanging. of two of the patriotic bridge-burners of the East Tennessee by the Confederates: "The two doomed culprits were not aware of theiit doom until a few moments before the hour, four o'clock, p. m., and, short, as the time was, they. busied them selves in speaking on oath, their full con fession of guilt before; the court-martial.— Fry confessed that be poured the turpen tine on the bridge and afterwards set fire to this combustible material ; carried the sentinel off some half mile e and, made hire . swear never to.rereal the names of the of- fenders. "Providence has saved the sentinel the trouble. for they. have met , the fate so justly meted out to them. They came in sight of the gallows—a temporary affair erected on the hillside, in full view of the town—and a large oak limb was substi tuted as a crossbeam forthis novel engine of death, and a shudder passed over them which was perceptible by all. "They knew that in a iew• moments they must die the death of a felon. "The whOle.battalion under arms was drawn up around the ground, and the ropes were adjusted, by corporal lipVey, of our company. he caps drawn over their pale faces,the ladder was taken from the tree; the stillness of death pervaded the whole throng; the minute hand was in 'a few seconds of four o'clock; the watch still went tick, tick ; their knees shook vis ibly; the whole frame was ready to give way to nature's spirit. Hark!' it is four o'clock! The trigger is touched, and lo! dangling atthe rope's end, between heav en and earth, are.seen two strangling hip. man beings t The struggles of one were short; the other seemed a little kith to 'give - up the spirit froin tenement of clay, but in a few short moments- they, were both 'dead. "It has had a • wonderful effect upon . unionism here,:and scores are pinning night and day—taking the cativo(' Alegi . ; Mice to our Government, and by this se rions genic* proclaim to the World'lllat they will defend it'agsinst all Of its ene mies." M=== Death of Prince Anion Intelligence of the death of 'Prince Al-• bertohe husband of Victoria, was received herewith surprise and regret.— At the age of only forty-nine years, he - having been born in August 1819, it was naturally to be expected that he had still along career of honor and usefulness be. Ibre him; but. the great Leveller forces an unwilling entrance alike into pallace and cottage. His illness was .considered to be so slight - tit the beginning as to have received no .notice on this side of the wa ter; and only two days before his de cease did it assume alarming symptoms. The disease was gestic fever, which termi nated his life on the 15th instant. "- Frites Albert Agnstus Charles Emman uel, Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha,- 'was just "thiee months the junior of Queen Victoria. Under the superintendence. of his father be received and excellent edu cation which he finished by a course at one ofthe - Germin universities. As a student be was dilligent, and if not bril liant, yet emminently, successful. His conduct at that period of life, too was in ' strong contrast with that which 'often characterises the students of German uni versities. At a very early age it is relat ed that friendly feelings sprang up be: tween him and the Princess Victoria, as manifested by .exchanging books, ....with observations on authors, and the like.—. In 1838, accompanied .by' the King of, the Belgians, he visited the court of the youthful Queen, who shortly after, an nounced her purpose of taking the young German 'for better, for worse. Themar riage took-place in February, 1840. Two months longer would have completed the twenty-second,year of the wedded lives of His Royal Highness and din' queen of England. The situation of Prince-Albert was such as to preclude him from engaging in po litical life; he theref2re„ devoted his at tention mainly, raltters relating to so cial science, agriculture, the, Great exhi bition, and the like, in all which he has rendered valuable services to the nation. As one of the first projectors of the World's Fair in 1851, he saw its success eclipse all expectations formed_respectinn. it. His•efforts in improving the dwell ings of the poor, were praiseworthy and highly, beneficial. The agricultural inter est bas no warmer and intelligent friend than he. He also possessed with his thor ough intellectual culture a refined taste. But it is as a true man, a father and a Christian that he deserves to be held in greatful remembrance.- Squaring his own conduct by the Divine rule, he applied the same great law to, his children In the nurseri, mid lived to see its fruits in tfieir Subsequent conduct. No gossip circu lates through saloons, about his Court in trigues; nor do we believe that his char acter has ever been' assailed publicly or privately for failing to comport with his Christian profession. Only once, some years ago, did a cloud appear to pass over his disc. Suspicious were formed that he was using bis knowl edge and influence to compromise Great Britain in the affairs of Germany ; but-the passing shadow soon dissolved "under ex plicit denials of 'the charges-readejit Par liament. Fora tittle, however, the, thus- derbolts of a portion of the press, espec islly the. London 'Times, , were .launched remorselessly at his head. That matter has since beep set to rights, and the rep utation of the deceased Prince will long be dear ,to the hearts of the English people. Prince Albert leaves nine children to de plore their loss.

An Oddity of the-Last Century. *The editor of a recent edition of Lady Mary Wortley Montague's . 'Letters gives the following account of the Earl of Pem broke, a great oddity of a Inindred years ago: • Marrying ; for the third time at seventy five, he maintained strict domitiion over a wife, whom-other people thought safely arrived at years of discretion, and quite fit to take care Of herself. 'She had leave to visit in an evening, but must never on 'any account, stay out a minute later than ten o'clock,lhie supper hour.. One night, however, she stayed till past tWelve. He declined supping, telling the servants it could, not be ten o'clock, as their lady had not come home. - When at last she came in -a terrible fright, and making a thousand apologies —"My dear ;"Raid he, very coolly, "you are under a mistake,- it, is but just ten : your watch, I see,goes too fast, and so does mine ; we must have 'the man to-morrow to set them 'to rights ; meanwhile, let us go to supper: His example bn another,occasion might be worth following. , Of all the Mede-and- Persian laws establiihed• in his house,and the most-peremptory was, that "'any ser vant who once got drunk shosuld be in-,1 stantly discharged, no pardon granted, no' excuse:listened - to. Yet an old' footman, who had lived with him many.years,would indulge in a pot :of ale extiaordinaryi trusting the wilful blindness which he saw assumed when convenient. One fa, tal day-, even this could not avail: As my Lord crossed the hall, John appeared in full view ; not rather tipsy or a little dis guised, but dead drunk and not able to stand. Lord Penibroke went-up to him : "My poor fellow, what aili you? you seem dreadfully ill=let me feel your pulse:— God bless us, he is in a raging fever; get him to bed direCtly, 'and send for ,the apothecary." The apothecary came, not to be consulted, •for lordship was a physician , general in his own family; - •but obey orders—to bleed the patient -; copi ously, clap a huge blister On his back, and give hini a powerful dosq'of physic: Af ter a few days of this treatment,when the fellow emerged weak and win,and the se verest illness could have left him. "Itsh, honest John," cried his.master,"l ain tru ly glad to see thee alive; you have had e wonderful escape, though, and ought to be thankful —very thankful Andeed.- , Why; mati,lf I had not passed by and spied the condition you were in,yOu would 'have been •ileirl before now. But John !, John!" (lifting up his finger,) "no raver of • theirfaiers." A Singular Incident The Lynchburg Republican, of the 2.ath tilt.,publishes the' follo w ing incident:re maable alike for its singularity as Well as for its Melancholy fulfillment to the brother of One of theparties concerned : Just. before.the warqiroki,ont, and be fore Lincoln's proclamation tas issued, a young Virginian, named Stungterfield,was visiting the city of New- Yoik, where he made the acquaintance of two, Misses Holmes, from Waterbury', Vermont. He became • somewhat intimate :— with the -young ladies, and the intercourse seemed to be mutually rgreeable. The,proelatna don was issued, and . the • whole North thrown into a blaze of eicitemeut. On visiting.the ladies' one evening, at the hour of parting, they remarked to Sum merfield-that their' present meeting would be the last ; they must : hurry - home to nid in making: up the overcoats and clothing for the volunteers from their town:- • Sum merfield expressed: his regret that they must leave, but at the same time especial ly requesting them to see that the over coats were well made, as it was his inten tion, if he ever met the Vermont regi ment in battle', to kill ode of them Ind 'take his coat. Now toY' the sequel. Virginiaseceded. The Second Vermont Regiment, a por tion of which was from the town . of terbury, was sent to Virginia. The bat-• tle of Manassas was fought, in whichthey wefe engaged, and so was. summerfield. During the battle S. marked his m'an, not khowing to what Stan he belonged ; the • fatal ball was sped on its errand - of death ; the victim'fell at the flash of the gun, and =roams rising up to secure the dead •an's arms, Summerfield observed that he had a fine new overcoat strapped to • his back, which he determined 'to appropriate •to his own nse. - The fight was over, and Summerfield - bad time to examine his prize, when, remarkable as it 'may appear, the coat was'marked - With , the name of Thomas Holmes, and in the pockets were found letters, signed with the nacre of the sister,whom Summerfield had made_ the remark we have - quoted, in . which the. dead man was addressed as brother. • The evidence was Conclusive—he had killed the brother of his friend,and-the remark which he had made ii jest had a . melan choly fulfillthent4 We are assured this narrative is-literaliy .true. Summerfield now• Wears the coat, .and, out informant states, is not a little impressed with the singuarity ofthe coincidence. • Wr Senator Wilson's bill abolishing slavery in the District of ColumbiN ap propriates one million 'dollars to Com-, pensate loyal owners.
