Caiiforaia, Virginia and Norta ‘arolina. Travelling eastward from the Pacific along tho bed of the Gila, we encountered similar rocks ia a chain of mountains as far east a3 the Pimo village. This chain, characterized also by the presence of gneiss, mica aud Takose slate, has been trace i as far south as the present boundary, where it cros:es the Santa Cruz ri rer, between longitude 110 and 111 degrees; and in that neighborhood we saw everywhere the remains of gold mines from which the operators had been driven by the Apaches, Pursuing our course eastward along the boundary from the meridian of 111 rees, we cross the San Pedro, the Guadalupe, and the Luis rauge of moun- tains, in the order in which they are named, the middle range being chiefly characterized by sienitic aggregates, ‘anitic lava and immense masses of conglomerate or reccia. Precisely the same formation is found in the Canon of the Gila, some distance to the north, about the meridian of what is called in my reconnolssance of 1846, Disappointment Creek.

It was not in my power to explore this range to the south, but 1 was informed by seers worthy of confil- dence that throughout its whole extent, as far south ag the parallel of Mazatlan, it was impassible for wagons, and there was no probability of ever finding, south of 3i deg. 20 min., a line for a railway. ¢ report of its impracticability for wagons was con- firmed by the fact that the Camino real highway) estab lished by the Spaniards to connect Caibuhua and Guy- mos, makes a great circuit, and passes to the north of 31 deg. 20 min., and within what is now the territory of ited States. This stupendous range of mountains which drops so abruptly a few miles north of the boundary, as if to make room for the thway which is to connect tne Pacific and itlantic «© States, no doubt reappears to the north in the neighborhood of the Gila ; but eur information is not yet sufficient to es- tablish the connection. [am quite eatis/ied of one thing, however—its equivalent is not to be found in what is cali the Sierra Madre in New Mexico. Pursuing our course Still eastward, we puss over wide plains bounded by de- tached ranges of mountains, of metamorphic and other limestones, associated with jeous rocks, rich in silver and lead, and at El Paso we encounter the western flank of the third great mountain chain, the Rocky Mountains, knawn in that particular locality as the Orgaa Mountains, and at intervals of about cighty miles we cross two other ranges,—the Fagle Spring and the Limpia range of moun- tains. These three chains of mountains appear to be spurs of the Rocky Mountains, and are characterized by the presence of carboniterous limestone, greatly disturbed by igneous protrustons of what Professor Hall charac- terizes as of “comparatively modern origin.’ Aud throughout this whole region the carboniferous and meta- morphic limestone is uot unfrequently traversed by rich seams of argentiferous lead ore. Between the San Luis range and the Organ Mountains, the first of the Rocky mountain range, the metamorphism of the rocks is so complete, and the {rruptire lines #0 frequent, and their protrusion above the crust of the earth so detached, it is impossible to say with our ot information where the one begins or the other ends, or whether they do not all belong to the same system. [tis between these two ranges, upon the banks of the Janos River, that wo dis- cover the first evidences of that vast cret us formation which has been traced from the 108th to the 101st meri- dian of longitude, aad as far north as the Groat Salt lake, and south to the 25:h parallel ot lattitade. Tne western limit of this formation, discovered by the boundary sur- vey, is the basin of the Janos River in Chihuahua, and {ts casternmost limit San Antonia in Texas. How far it extends north and south has never been ascertained; but it has beep traced in oue direction as far as the Big’ Salt lake of Utah Territory, Granite, and its associated gold bearing rocks, occur spor ly throughout the Rocky Mountain chain and its spars; but the distinguishing feature, in economical poiat of view, is the prevalence of carboniferous limestone, with which is found associated argentiferous Ht .9 Silver mines of richness have been discovered, and some of them worked toa limited extent, in the mountains about Tucson, at Barancas, Presidio del Norte, Wild Rose Pass, in the Mountains, and other localities. Gold mines have been worked at the Calabosas, on the Santa Orwa river, and in the mountains of New Mexico, on both sides of the Rio Bravo, It will aot be extravagant to pre- dict the discovery of many localities where silvor can be worked to advantage throughout the whole re- gion where carboniferous limestone exists, extending on the line of boundary from the great bend of the Rio Bravo, in Texas, to the meridian of the San Luis range. Should this conjecture prove true, we shall have then in abundance the only commodity hich we are now de- fcient, and for which we are a} ali dependent upon any any other country. Another argentiferous region of ex- ceeding richness, end | think one whoily disconnected from the other, is in the basin west of the Santa Cruz river, between that river and the Gulf of California.

Independently of the errors of observ: tion, some writers have o practice of referring the sounds they meet with to those of other languages, which they kuow from description alone. The alphabets used by various authors will give a good idea of state of our knowledge in this department, ex- cept that they will not always enable us to establish a 1 between them. After Rapp’s Physiologie der rache, the Essentials of Phonetics of A.J. Ellis, A. B, London, 1848, may be placed as a conscientious and valu- able contribution to the general subject, but his notation of the vowels cant bo adopted on account of the extent to which new powers have been assigned to the old and universally recognised characters. Castrén’s Grammatik der Semnojediochen, Sprachen (St. Peters >urg, 1854,) contains a careful analysis of the sounds used. The sounds termed moullfé by the French are 7, ”, t, d,sand (English) z, They are marked by a curved line through the stem (on the right of m and d), an awkward notation, requiring too many distinct types. Ellis’ use of j, deprived of the up- per and lower dots, is unexceptionable—like the use of c fork. Castren assigns a peculiar u (worked by a dot be- low) to Ostiac, and the peculiar Russian vowel bl to Sa- moiedic. In the Roman alphabet the latter might be re- presented by an inverted f, Castren describes a kind of lisped r, which deserves to be compared with the peculiar Irish J, a sound which tho it th: led considers the souant analogue of the ‘elsh U. trén mentions a sound between J and 7, and one between f and h, perhaps Greek phi; or an h some- what obstructed by the lips. btlingk (Uber die Sprache der Jalcuten, St. Petersburg, 1851,) mentions a nasa! of the German J, a sound which occurs in Wy 4 ‘Sunic, (Shunyitsh) an Illyrian, in 1853, and Poklukar, probably an Ilyriau also, have published alphabets, but their power of analysis was different, The distinguished scholar Lepsius published a ‘ Stand- ard Alphabet” at Berlin and London. With a knowledge of many languages, he exhibits an inability to appreciate the phases of speech; for example, he represents the English vowel in fat by @ with a line beneath, bocause he considers it ¢he'short sound of the French @ in méme. He says that in pronouncing adna or anda the combina- tion of the two consonats causes each to cut off half of its fellow, so that if It were placed between two consonants, ves would be lost, as in endieas, wends, lend, not, ong in the German names Heindl, Zarbl, Birki, Dietzsch, The alphabet of Lepsius has been extensively and thoughtlessly adopted by various missionary societics notwithstanding its fundamental errors of analysis and notation, the later being in some cases due to the former. In his powers of anal he is not to be compared with Ellis. His alphabet is not philosopbical, although pro- fessedly founded on a physioiogical basis, and its adop- tion will tend to retard philological science, as far as it can be retarded by stereoty, forms based upon false views, and rules of notation which can scarcely be in terpreted alike by any two observers who may lave oc- casion to apply them.

The formal inauguration of the State Geological Hall, at Albany, which was opened some days since, and in which the local committee of Albany gave @ soiree, the other evening, to the members of the Scientiic Association, tock place on Wednesday. Ii had been deferred in order that the Scientif@ Association should be present en masze. The original arrangement was, that addresses were to be delivered by the Hon. William H. Seward, and the Hon. Mr. Gray, of Boston; but the former pleaded his oiljsial duties as an excuse for not attending, while the latter ts at the preren! time confined to his bed by illness. At the last moment orators were obtained among the members of the association, and, according to announcement, at 3 o'clock on Wednesday the ceremonies began. The members of the association assembled at the cap! tol, at a quarter to three, and were escorted to the Aca- demy Park by the Burgesses’ Guard, in processional or- cer. On the Park a tent bad been erected, under which alevel flooring, with seats, and an extensive platform, had been laid. Over a thousand persons, some said, «hile others spoke of several thousand, were seated by three o'clock, the ladies appearing to be in the majority. ‘The tent itself was a handsome affair, with broad white and blue and red stripes coursing from side to side. Round the trees which were enclosed the stars and stripes were wrapped. Inthe interior hung flags bearing such insoriptions as “Astronomy,” ‘Geology,’ “Mineralogy,” “Zoology,"’ ‘Botany,'’ ‘Ethnology,’ “Palmontology,’’ “The Preas,’’ &c., kc.

I tell you, as a member of the Association for the Advancement of Science, that | consider this inaugu‘a- tion as an event of the highest interest, and as a most {m portant step in the history of the ‘of science. By it we give our sanction to the survey, and we testify that the reaults obtained deserve our commendation, and that of the scientific world. The benefits already rendered to «cence by the survey are great and notable. It bas given a pew nomenclature to geology, which more minute investigations are every day sustaining, and whose inilu ene has already spread beyond the borders, not only of this #tate, but of the Un States, and commanded as- sent in foreign realms. In future, no one, in any country, cap prosecute the study of geology to any extent without referring to the State Geolocal Survey of New York. Now, the collections upon which the conclustous drawn from this survey are based have been hitherto stored up in many jnaccersible places, where students could no: them for examination. These collections are now vo be deporited ip the hall we are inauguratiag; #0 that hereafter, whenever a geologist arrives (n this country from Burope, the first question he must ask will be, “Which 's the way to Albany!’ so that, especially, it may be potsibie to continue the description and illustra tion of the fossils in the same magni(iceat #tyle in which the work has been commenced. how that the sur. vey has reached this point, the time ha: when we may properly ask the question, What are resulta of this survey, with referonce 16 the or y benefits of geological surveys? Gold bas not been found, certaimiy; but that bas been found which is mach better, namely, a lesson which enables wus to penetrate deeper into the knowledge of the works of the Creator, This has been the fruit of the survey. In former ten thought of them selves only. Man w subject of their philosophy, ‘bis essence, his soul, The next step was the in vestigation of a few natural phenomena which natural. ly courted inquiry—simpie points physics or astrono. ‘Those were the topics on which the second race of thinkers exhausted their efforts.

I perpogg 9m be preseas guvasion Wa 5 - her works one ain- can Prove that it the range of natural phenomena thers is prncins which mature the work of a work of an vidual God. If we pass rapidiy over the leading features of the animal and kingdoms, we are struck at once with the remarkable diversities which present them- selves. We find everywhere bette but at same time we perceive 1 here seeming contradiction can readily ¢: can easily be shown that organized beings, differ. ipg as they do in their structure, have beeu ordered according to @ plan, to a y ea, ‘whi ch we can trace distinctly bia eer both kingdoms. s e . This consideration nt; for, as may be easily seen, were these various beings and structures not the work ofa single intelligence, we should not be apt to understand them. This jiple can be best il- lustrated by a reference to special facts. Let us take the arm, for instance. (Here the learned Professor drew the anatomical figure of an arm on the black board). That Structure is common to all animals haviag limbs. Evea fish, which bave no limbs, are construcied on the same plan; the anatomy of a firh’s fin is strikingly analogous to that of the arm. "(This Prof. A. illustrated by « sketch of afin.) This shows at ouce the —, of thought, of all controlling ee pervading the whole structure. I! fish had obtained fins only because they were to live in the water, birds wings because thoy were to live in th air, and quadrupeds limbs, euch as they have, becaus they were destined to live on tye earths how is tt that w tind the amphibious quadru; “go &xactly like the oa that is contined to the land? But there is somethin more than an adaptation of structures to ends. We se in this analogy proof o° a general proposition lying a the foundation of all animal orgauizations. The diver sity which exists between them must ouly be considered as epecial and secondary. For instance, between th: bird and the fish there scems very little in commoo—no- thing, in fact, but the head. But let us examine their structure. (The Professor drew anatomical sketches on the board.) Here we have the two animals, and in both there is the same backbone passing from end to end, and serving aa the starting point for ribs. The very same structure is to be found io all quadrupeds. eo two thousand quadrupeda, the cight thousand birds, the ton thousand fishes, the two thousand reptiles, which we know, are all alike in this respect. We shall notice the same uniformity, the same evidence of mind, in each of the four great types of the animal kingdom—the verte- brates, the radiates, the articulates, and the moilusks— which may be called the four tunes on which the Divine Intelligence has played the harmonies which are realized in the world. Again, we shall perceive the working of mind as strikingly illustrated if we examine another special subject. The family of lizards is widely distribu. ted throughout the world. This family exhibits the most diversified features in its various brauches. Some have no legs; some only hind legs, some only fore legs; some have one toe on each foot, some two, some three, some four, some five; some have these toes unevenly dis- tributed between the feet, have more on the fore feet than on the hind, others more on the hind than on the fore. When these various animals are brought togethor io a museum they exhibit a natural series, containing every variety of complication of structure. But where are the animals found? Those with five toes on each foot are found everywhere ; but one of the other species is only found in Bengal, ly in the West Indies, auother only at Algiers, another in New Holland, another in the hing ponory another ia South Africa, another at the Good'Hope, another in South ‘America, &c. Now, what could have devised this beautiful system of structures represented by these various animals, thus ‘scattered over the world, but the omoiscieat aud omni. present mind of a God who was capable of creating them all, wherever they were, according to a system which we can read ina moment’ Nor does the mode of developement inthe auimal kingdom show le=s clesrly that the plan to be fol owed in ioe precene was fully laid out beforehand. Intellect beams from every point of the rocess of developement. Every great type bas some jes tures in its developement which are peculiar to itself. This developement coincides in its prominent features in all the animals of the aame rank, but there is a difference in the process in each series according to iis structure For instance, let us take the type of articulates, which consists of crabs, iobsters, iaseots and worme. The lowest member of the type isthe worm; then above this, as being slightly superior in structure, is the insect; above this again is the lobster, and highest of all, as the one ia which this peculiar plan of structure is carried out in most perfection, ia thecrab. (The Professor illustrated these remarks by drawings on the board, showing the structure of each of the four orders.) See how this is carried out in the development of these animals. Whea the ts ap hed an insect are born they are sages ved ‘worms; they become chrysales, or pup; and lastly insects. Toe general plan of structure indicating the type is impressed on the insect, and in reaching {ts ulti- mate si it pasees through all the other varietics of the same plan. Here ts evidence of thought, of idea, which must be divine. We have geen how the animal kingdom presents a variety of structures all harmonious ly illustrating the same plan. But this kingdom which we see is only the last of a series in the history of crea. tion. There were animals long before man came, and they were not what we now see. They differed im each successive age, until they culminated in the combina tions which now present themselves upou the earth. Let us select as an example of the progress taat has been made the crustacea, crabs and lobsters. These crustacea we find in the lowest foseiliferous strata, and the variety fouad there is called by palwontoiog'sts trito- bites, ¢ we speaker sketched them on the board, and showed how their structure was simple and rudimentary.) In the mildle geological ages we fad crustacea of a higher form of structure (as he showed on the board) and in the highest series we find varieties scarcely dif- fering irom those which are uow upon the oarth. Now, if we take the egg of a crab and examine the germ | contains, we shail find it to be a mere oval divided bya segment, just Lie the trilobites of the oldest fossiliferous ormations: in ashorttime it developes, and we recog- nise in it a striking resemblance to the crustacea of the middie geological age; and when the developement ts complete it becomes a perfect crab. Thus the pattern of the crab involves the same jlca as we find throughout the animal! kingdom. At the Orst creation of animals they resembied the germs of the auimals we now eee; and they gradually improved—just as the germ does—until they reached their present forms. Herc, again, is direct evidence of mind. We shall tind the same principio force? upon our attention, if we compare organic inorganic structures. The vi le kingdom is gov: ed by @ set of regular laws. @ leaves develope on th stem of a plant io ovedience to fixed and organic laws. Hi tod showed how the that each should have ture and sunlight, q ‘og analogy existed between the distribution of leaves on trees and the movements of the bodies in our solar system.

One of the professors in a most reepectable university, bad carried all the specitoens in hia college home in adie box. the pioneers soon bean to clear the Lat ua in this y. piace stop to re member some ceparted men. Dr. Bruce of New York was one; he had edited the first useful scientific journal in the country. Dr Mitchell of New York, bad also been & successtul cultivator of science. [rof. Cleveland of Maine, was the author of the first work of any conse- quence on the miner: and geo oer, ot the country. Seibert of Philadelphia, from Friburg, had distin guished bimee { by bis scientific investigations. Colonel Gibbs of New York, was then abroad making the collec- tion which he afterwards so nobly bequeathe! to the trustees of Yale College. Of these, all were bat Dr, Cleveland. There was another name younger-than these, but worthy of being ranked with them—the joved and honored Protessor of Yale, (Prof Silli- man,) under whom he had begun’ his course of stndy, and whose voice be bad hoped to have heard this evening. He was truly the cmeriiue professor Yale. Fifty years ago that professor was returning home from a tour in Europe, freighted with knowie ardor for science, and with a mind well stored with geo. ‘ai facts. Within five yeara afterwards the noble ction of G'bbe was placed at Yale. Then he began to study without books and without teachers. Forty sears ago, a strange but stroog minded man—Dr. Reid— announced that he would deliver a course of lectures on all the branches of scence: the whole course only occ pied a few days. After practimung law for some yoars, he went to Yale to receive scientific instrnction, and from thence be went forth ingle handed, and exercised the ost remarkable (piluence over the public mind in Massa. chusetts and this State. The first set of pioneers was followed to the grave by a eecood set, many of whom * bere assembled today. Twenty years from that time a new set bad epread over the land, these were far wiser than their teachers.

Did any body know how many kinds of fossils been discovered in the State? When the first volume of Palwontology appeared, 370 species were the utmoss limit; the second volume disclosed 340 more; and 1,009 more would be contained in the three vol ——. altogether 1,742 separate sj modals of creation spread over the au: Erastus i of the State. . Benenict then introduced Presideat Hrras- cock, who made some remarks on the history of the sur- vey of New York, and furnished several statistical data for the history of grcicgion) surveys in the United States. Prof, A. D. Bacus, who, in reply to a remark of Prosi. dent Hitchcock's, said he was ready to unde: surveys ip connection with that of the coast, then intre- duced Sir Wa. BE. Locan, of Canada. He said:— Lavirs ANP GRNTLMKN—I regret that I have been called ‘upon on this oceasion, because | am totally unprepared.

When I went to the great exhibition at Paris, 1 was delighted to hear the great goologist, De- vernell, use the words Trenton and Niagara as household words; and I was charmed with the impatience with which that’other great geologist, Barante, asked when the third volume of the Palwontology of NewYork would be out.

(Great applause.) Mr. Thos. W. Olcott would introduce a native of Ale bapy, Professor Hkyry, of the Smithsonian. Profeasor Henry was informed that the Local Committee had em- gaged one statesman to addreaa this meeting, and thas ‘on his failing them they replaced him by seven nfta of acience. what process they arrived at this com- clusion he knew not. But be could notsubscribe to, Profesgor Agassiz aloue was a counterpoise to any states- mab ; not to speak of the other gentlemen who bad fo- lowed bim. He was satisfied, therefore, that he was not needed as a make weight, and would therefore only de- liver the introduction to the remarks he had prepared. Professor Henry spoke for some moments in a humorous strain. He said that the Dutch were very slow to but when they did move their force was prodigious. ‘was, as mathematicians would 1 not the product of the momentura and the velocity, but as the square of the velocity,—so tbat when a Dutchman walked three times as fast, he moved with nine times the force.

There was a sympathy betweea branches of acience. He paid compliments to Mr. Bverets and Mr. Bancroft, and eaid that he offered taem bis haad —as brothers they were one. (During this discourse Mr. Bincroft seemed very uneasy Prot.

Dr Cox, ot New York, who was drawn forward trom the rear, declared that he was a pebulosity just extracted from the galaxy bebind him. On secona thought, how- ever, as he noticed the ladies, he was not sure but the milky way was in frout of him, not behind. He regret- ted “that the Committee sheuld have reversed the order of the miracie of Cana in Galilee, and kept the poorest wine for the last. However, he woutd trouble his friend. Prof Dewey, to keep his wate in his band, and wind him up (Dr. Cox, not the watch) when the ten minutes bad expired. The iirst of Dr. Cox's remarks was to show that he did not believe revelation was at all !nconsistent with science. it was inters; with bumorous sayings that were received with roars of laughter. When he was in England, eaid the dostor, he was talking to a baronet who observed—* We sometimes forget you Americans’’—to which the doctor Incontinently repled that be thought that very likely, as the Ameri- cans had a Way of forgetting the Hoglish.’ To some fur- ther impertinent remark of the baronet, the doctor aa- swered, “It your little tsiand were a steam! we could furnish a lake to float her,” which seemed to have settled the baronet, poor fellow. Dr. Cox spoke at great length, but was well received.
