THE BRITISH LEGION AND ITS GENERAL. (From. the Manehexter Courier.) In the House of Commons, on Tuesday evening, Sir O.,De Lacy. Evans brought on one of those melancholy exhibitions of himself, which, if induced by any one else, would be considered an act of loathsome malice, and hatred, proceeding - front a depraved and vicious heart. In mercy .to himself, he ought to have waited until some opponent had brought the matter before the house. It is perfectly true. that he has brought upon hirnself a greater weight of .public censure than most men could hear, and it is quite reasonable that he should feet. some anxiety to get rid of at least a portion of it ; but if the climate of Spain has not dried up the energies of his mind, and closed it against conviction, he must liave seen that the course which he adopted on Tuesday night was not one either to improve his reputation, or to lessen the blame which a discriminating people have cast upon him. The only apology which he can advance for the length and, folly of his speech, is that it. concerned - himself. It was the effort of a conscience sitting in judgment on itself, and as such, it could only inflict pain . on, and excite pity t owar d s i ts owner. Wh en a man claims for himself great skill and judgment, a suspicion mast necessarily arise that he is perfOrmi ng an.office which has never occurred to his friends as being neces sary, or, on the other hand, one from which they have instinctively shrunk. In just. such kposition stood Sir G. Evans when he introduced the, subject of his Spani s h campaign" on Tuesday. It is true, some friends followed him, but their approbation is merely the echo of such vain- glorious expressions as the following :—" As to the attacks upon himself, on the ground of want of skill or defects of judgment, he felt that every 'rpan occupying a ptiblic station m us t a bid e b y the general opinion, and take his chance of what might be the decision upon his merits. /n some cases a small measure of justice might be dealt : out, ,while.in others a greater share of approba tion might be awarded than was justly due." It would he most spiteful to demand from Sir George the meaning of the last sentence, for the explanation would directl; involve personal application, and, then, if his querist happened to be a man whose.love of truth was superior to his.spirit of civility and conciliation, he might stop the personal application of the sentence midway, by in quiring how it fell out that 250 officers left his leaion in disgust ;—how it happened that his sick soldiers were allow,ed to tie through filth and famine ;—and lastly he might: nquire how it happened that he- permitted his of ficers- suntmarily t o con d emn hi s men to severe, and in many eases undeserved floggings. If Sir G eorge E vans had,been a man of any note, : his speeches might -have been the subject of criticism of this complexion. If his achievements-on the hustings of Westminster had been rendered: 'insignificant by the lustre of his exploits in Spain, his friends might have granted him the 'favour of remaining silent on Tuesday night; but unfortunately, nature played the niggard towards-him at his-birth, and the only course now left open - to him is ,to cheat better men of their laurelS, and place them on his own brow. Lord Palmerston's defence of the conduct of General Evans, ,Was as unfortunate for his friend as it was ‘v.eak in 'argument ; and if his lordship's future efforts are ex clusively devoted to the care of his own reputation, he will only do an act of common justice to, his friends at, large. In short,, every circumstance connected with :the war, in Spain, must of necessity bring disgrace upon the government, and they ought to know that the only way to escape censure is to preserve silence. MR. COLLIER.'S LECTURES ON THE EDUCATION OF THE DEAF AND DUMB, AND BLIND. On,,Thursday evening M r. Collier, who is generally known for his,exertionson behalf of the deaf and dumb, and the blind, in endeavouring to excite a feeling, by his lectures in various parts of theeountcy, to raise establishments forahe primer tuition of these objects of our compassionate • sympathy, delivered the first of a course of two lectures: on the tuition of the deaf and dumb, at the Medical Institution, Hope -street. 'l' he lecture wallesspectably attended. In commencing hie lecture, Mr. Collier weet, : into the statistics of the deaf and dumb, whom he stated to fortis a 1500 sh part of the popu l ation of the world. In some countries this proportion was less and in othets'more. In Switz erland, deaf persons existed in the great proportion of - I to 500. In Pelginni.the proportion was Ito 3000. In the United States of America the proportion was Ito 2000. In England, France, and Germany the proportion was as low as 1 in 30t)0; but taking the whisk world It_was .1. in 1500. Surely, then ; with so great a proportion of deaf and dumb persons, they would not he snf fared taliye neglected.. ..B.had been ascertained that at the pre sent moment there were 8000-little children deaf and dumb in England .ready. to be placed under instruction; and the whole of our noble institutions . raised for the purpose of tea c hi ng t h em would nett centaiu so. many hundreds. It reflected dishonour on an age distinguished by the progress of intellect that these be reft.mortals should be so much neglected. Liverpool, Manches teroind a few other towns had made efforts on their behalf, and were e:settapt from. this censure. Had other towns taken up the subject it) ; thesame manner, his appeal would not then have been needed, This ueelect was not for the want of any charitable feelings towards the deaf and dumb; it was because of the mul titude of other benexolent institutions that the poor little mutes were forgotten. He could . not but mention the readiness of the gendlernewinthe different towns in which he had lectured, to re medy this evil when brought before their notice. One reason why, the deaf were not more thought of was because parents were very loth, to believe that their children were in this bereaved state,s4P4.their unwillingness to part with them. Each mother wrappn4. herself up in the idea that the deafness would pass away, and that it was perhaps but the result of some cold in infancy. Whena deaf boy went first to school he saw others juyvms around him, and when be attempted to enter inn) their gambols he found he could net make himself understood, nor understand theni, and he consequently became irritable and suspicious. If others laughed or looked grave in his company he fancied they laughed at him or that he had offended them. But proper in struction did away with this, and enabled him to communicate with his fellows; and it did more, it prepared him for that eter nity which awaited him. Mr. Collier then introduced a Young man of very intelligent appearance, whom he said he hail acci-. dently heard of, and whose name it afterwards appeared was James Carlene, and who is employed as a moulder in Messrs. Fawcett and. Preston's foundry. In answer to questions put to him with the fingers by Mr. Collier, he wrote on the slate that he was born at a village in Perthshire, in Scotland, that he was twenty-five. years of age, and came to England t wo years ago. A number of questions were put to him in this way, the answers to which he wrote with the greatest readiness, and in a good band, with chalk, on the slate We were much struck with his immediate answer to one question, " What is Grid ?" "God is a spirit, unchangeable, and eternal ; infinite in his holiness, goodness,. and truth:" He stated that he had been educated in the deaf and dumb school at Glasgow. When a child was first introduced-into a deaf and dumb institution he was allowed a few days,to. bet:nine acquainted with the pupils, and with their signs and mode of intercoerse. His attention was then directed to some picture, and he was made to understand that there was a resemblance between it and. the object which it was made to represent between a hat, for instance, and the piinting of one., This ,he was soon taught to know. The next thing was to reprecant objects by written words, the instructor writ ing the. word ".hat" upon a board, and pointing alternately to the bat and to the word,. The 'pupil felt at first rather puzzled to know what resemblance there could be beta een a hat and these signs on the board, and it required sometime to reconcile him -to these words as the proper representatives of things. The .signs made by the mutes were in the first instance fre quently very laughable, and one of the first objects of an insti tution was to refine those gestures. For instance if a person had a sore lip or finger, these imperfections would be the . sign for the, , individual ever afterwards. Or if a person was distinguished- by some p.ominrmt feature, as a large nose, a mote would ever after notice this when describing him. Mr. ,Collier then by means of the young man before al luiled,to exhibited .the way in which education was begun. by writing on the board "ass, horse, row, dog, goose, tiger, and thehasking the mute to describe what they were, and' he immediately described by gesture something characteristic and definite to each. animal. When they were-perfect in this lesson and able to write the namem.iif the animals on the board at the dictation of the teacher, the pupil was next taught the qualities of objects, or adjectives., Il e was taug h t fi rst such adjectives as " LOP "s hort," "Frown," " narrow ;" and objeOts brought before them having these iespective qualities to teach them. After, Practising in this way for sonic time, the,ptipil was taught to cenneet adjectives and substantives together, as " good i•nr' ,, ," Ste. It would be well if some of the systems of tho .eghly grounding in teaching adopted in the deaf and dumb • schools were adopted in other schools. It was true it was a very circuitous mode, but the foundation was-sure. - The must irra tional systems were pursued in some schools. He had seen little children who could repeat whole pages by rote, without knowing anything about the meaning; the reason of this was, because the mod , - by which they were taught was not sufficiently circuitous: their young minds were hurried through te.ks, too rapidly. Slow and gra d ua l nteaus were. .taken with Site meat' and dumb pupils; they had to build ou a sure feon ilatiou, otherwise their future teaching would be valuelevs. When a pupil had acquired the names of objects, he bad proceeded very far. The attainment of this knowledge was a very slow process, as they frequently forgot the words snit their characters, having nothing but the .eye, unassisted by sound by which to remember. We were accustomed to remember • things by sound, dependiug on the ear, but not on the eye. If we read " Liverpool is a fine town," it was easily remembered because the sound of the words was associated with them; but if we struck out the vowels in those words and endeavoured to remember their character from the eye ; we should then perceive the difficulty.— The next point was to teach tha pupils the prepositions, in which there was some difficulty; this was taught them ,by showing them the relation of objects and their connection. Mr. Collier then read several productions of deaf and dumb children, to Show the simple and unconnected style in which they wrote. These productions betrayed generally much simplicity of thought. The deaf and dumb could not only be_ taught to cor respond by signs, but could he taught to articulate; this was a great triumph of eductition, and h4d first been attempted at the institution in London. -The very intelligent mute prevent was made to understand by signs several questions, putt() him, and gave artietilate and correct answers; and when we consider that he had nu ear to direct the sounds which he tittered, this was truly extraordniary. He gave his name, and said he was truly grate ful to Mr. Watson for teaching him this, as he could make himself understood by speaking. He then. being requested, by signs, repeated the Lord's prayer with great correctness. the audience being capable of understanding -easily evert( word he said. There way Ho deaf mute but could make a noisa, he could shout and laugh and mutter some unmeaning words. On these sounds articulation was to be raised. Laughing and shouting embodied the sounds of vowels, and by much patient teaching they were taught to repeat these sounds, and attach them to signs They were then tatteht to pronounce the consonants, Which was a work of great difficulty, the pupil frequently having to feel the teacher's threat as tie was learning, to he assisted by the vibration and by the toock in the attainment of. the proper sound.• They were then taught to combine the vowels and the consonants. They were also taught several of the sciences by a greatly simplified method. Mr. Collier delivered his second lecture on .Friday evening. The subject was the tangible modes of teaching persons born blind. The inventions display much ingenuity, and excited great curiosity. Some very amusing anecdotes connected with the instru c ti on o f bli n d c hi l d ren were re l ated, wh i ch tended to prove the great benefits. of affording them a literary and religi— ons education. Our space . does not enable us to give_ any full report of this ititereAing lecture: but as Mr. Oollierappoonced his intention of givinga concluding lecture on Tuesday, (this evening.) we may advert to the subject again. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON GEOLOGY. On Saturday evening, John Scouter, Esq., M.D., Professor of Geology t o the . Royal Dublin Society, commenced a course. of lectures upon this mysterious scienect. Judging from the first lecture, it promises to be the most profound course which has yet been delivered upon the . subject in this town. The ape cimens of minerals, fossils, &c. were abundant and valuable, so that the student In geology is readily enabled to store up, from actual observation, such'knowledge as will be important to him in , his pursuit of the science, and render him much assistance in his invextie,ations of nature. The natural history of the earth may be considered in a two fold point of view, as forming an object of study for the astro nomer and geologist. The astronomer studies its configuration, diameter, specific gravity, position with respect to the other heavenly bodies. and its distance from the sun and planets. In short, he considers the earth as a body existing in space, and nut susceptible of renovation and decay. On the other hand, we may investigate the interior structure of our planet, and. from the remains of extinct animals and plants, which we find included in the solid reek, as welt as from the order of superpo sition of the different stony masses, which comprise. the crust of our globe, we learn, that the earth has passed through nuttier ousphases of change. To explain the nature ofthese changes, and to consider them as successive, is the business of the geolo gist, who considers the earth as existing in time, and hence his science may he considered as the physical chronology of the globe. The revolutions which have affected the surface of our globe have produced two series of phenomena which, although they have existed contemporaneously, have acted and reacted on each other, and are so intitnately related, that the one may be considered as the measure of the other, are exceedingly differ ent in their nature, and belong to such widely remote sciences, that, until geology hail brought then' into contact, they were supposed to have no common bond of union. 'l' he'oneseries of changes are entirely chemical and mechanical, and relate to, the mutations of the inorganic world, which have repeatedly transferred : the materials of the loftiest , mountains•to, the chan nel of the ocean, and again elevated the bottom of the sea, and all its marine pr o d uc ti ons t o th e l o fty reg i ons o f the Andes or Himalaya. The other series of changes are of a purely physio lugicai nature, and consist of the repeated destructions and re newals of animal and vegetable life, so that the secondary strata Of our globe may be considered as the catacombs of tamer crea tions of whose existence the fossil skeletons are the only evi dences which remain. If we examine the most superficial parts of the earth's surface, we shall find that even at the present moment it is undergoing a silent change, which, though interceptihle, when viewed front day to day, will attain a vast amount when measured by.centu ries. We find that the loftiest mountains are subject to inces sant decay,—rain enters into their pores, which in winter being converted into ice, expands and tears them asunder. These dis• integrated portions are washed down ,by the heavy rains of the spring into rivers, and by this means carried to the ocean. The amount of these changes can be ascertitiated with very great ease with respect to those ancient countries, of which we have historical re - cords. Thus the Po and other rivers which flow into the Adriatic have, during the last twenty centuries, pro duced an extent of new land amounting td 11)0 miles in length, and from 2 .. t0 20 miles in breadth, by depositions of .the earthy materials which they have brought down from the.Appenines and other Italian rocks. • We have additional evidence of the most distinct and clear nature afforded us of these depositions in the instance of the town olltavenna, which, during the time of A.ligustus. was one of the havens of the Romanfleet, hut now is an inland town, far from the sea. Spina, which was formerly on .the coast of the Adriatic, is now 21) miles from it. If we ex tend our observatienn, we find in various quarters of the work' great masses of level country which owes their existence to this' process of disintegration, and which is at present as active an agent of change as it has been since it has•been observed by man. In Otis-manner the extensive alluvial plains of Bengal have been formed by the detritits of thellimalayas, and the deltas , of the Nile. and various• other large rivers trace their existen c e to the same originating cause. If we now examine. the older strata we shall find that they abound - threughout•ityrriarine shells, which show that they were likewise formed under water. We find still inure striking evi• dence of their. marine formation in the rounded .rabbles which exist in these rocks. These are commonly met with . iu con (glomerate, which is composed of antunber of different &scrip_ lion of pebbles worn round by.the attrition caused in the.water which . are eaeglutinated together. Therefore these rocks althom!tt met with thousands of miles Fiona she sea, and thou sands of .feet above it, were obviously farmed .under water, for nothing, but the action of the, water could have produced the rounded forms ef the pepples which we tied ,in them. These strata have, of course, been regularly deposited in horizontal layers in the water, but the, peaceful changes whit h preemie(' them have been interrupted by convulsions of a• very different nature, by which they have beeu elevated cud turned upon their edges, or upheaved at great angles. The elevation of the .different rocks. has taken place at different periods. But not only, have the solid portions of the globe been trans ported into the . sea, and the sea, been converted into dry land. More astonishing changes than these have taken place; no less than that of the Hying inhaltitaPts of our globe. We find that different species of animals and plants have. successively ap peared and disappeared from the globe, leaving only their fossil remains to mark their. existence. . We cannot examine the most superficial deposits without meeting, with the remains or species .of the Irish elk, elephant, and mastoden,.which are. no longer to be met with in the world. There is no doubt that if they did still exist, their magnitude would. have.revealed them to travellers. B e yo n d th e newest d epos i ts these pninnis . pear, lint in their place we find the peleot berium and other ani mals, equally extinct at the present period. Passing tbroneli the Various fortnatiens, we in this manner find in fossil chrono logy the:same evidence of successive change. Geology is as science which is interesting from the beauty of its established principles, and f rom th e sp l en d our .o f its epecu• lative inquiries. It is not, however, a mere idle amusement, offering only occupation for ingenious and fanciful minds; it is also a science of great and increasing practical importance.. lit agriculture the excellence of the soil ; depends greatly upon the proper mixture of the earths, which, in their unmixed state, would be unable to 'support vegetation. Thus the clayey soils of Essex have very much improved by .being mixed with chalk, which by loosening its tenacity renders it less damp and cold.. In like manner the sandy soils of Norfolk and Suffolk have been. so improved by the admixture with the clays of Essexeas• to hear good crops of wheat, barley end turnips. New in these cases it is obvious that a knowledge of stratification is of great use, as we find at a small depth beneath our own land the clay or, sand which we should otherwise have to travel many miles in quest of. In road-makina mere hardness is not the o nly quality required in the materials; elasticity is aiso an essential, requisite. Flints have no elasticity, and, in consequence, soon become, worn to a powder. Lime stone is .soft and soon be- cognes converted into mud. Green stone is the be s t material we know of for that. purpose, and it is better to bring it from a distance than to use inferior matters which are more accessible. In a county in Ireland, the material used. in road making was lime stone, wnich required continual renovation. Now along the whole line of the roads there were masses of green stone in every direction, and vet it was only within the last ten years, that this material has been empl o yed upO n these roads. Geo logy is also useful in enabling us to select those stones. most suitable for building purposes. Some sand stones are exceed ingly, porous,. in co nsequence of which th e y absorb w a t er. When winter comes the, water freezes, and the stone is speedily decayed If. on the other hand, sand stones are ferruginous ' they are equally ohjection a hl e , be.canse by ex posure to the at mospherethe 'iron rusts. and causes pp; tines of the, stone to chifroff in the- form of scales. .Even granites are of different qualities, som,e being exceedingly liable to decomposi, lien. whilst others are almost perennial, as they never decay.. Nothing is easier than to choose hetween.agoqd. and a ha t granite. Those granites whi r l, co,ntain_a grea t portion oftnica soon decay, whilst those containing hornblende are less liable to decay., The science of gimlogy, is of infinite. use to miners. For want of its knowledge, the important inineralonanganese, was fortnerlyemployed in Perbyshire in road-inaking, as well as a Ilst.uable ore of zinc. In Cornwatl a profit of Many thousands of pounds has been obtained within, a short period, hy extract ing silver from the refuse matter which had accumulated during a long series of years. The thickness of the crust of the glob e with which we are ac quainted heals but a small proportion to its diameter. The greatest depth to which we have penetrated from the surface of the,earth does not. exceed. 3000 feet. Thus our knowledge of the crust of .the earth is very limited indeed. Still, however, as rocks are not disposed in horizontal beds, hat are inclined at angles, we can obtain a considerable insight into the. construc— tion of the earth. The total thickness of the British strata may be considered .to exceed 60,W0 feet. According to Playfair, we have the composition of the earth revealed to us for sixty one ; miles in depth, or one sixty-fifth of the radius of the. globe 1 his is .probably an extreme case, but our knowledge is still more.complete than is generally imagined. Now, if we examine the nature of the materials of which these rocks are composed, we shall find that. all the rocks consist of a very small number of minerals, i❑ which respect geology affords a very great contrast to zoology and botany: the speci mensof which differ materially in different quarters of the globe. Rocks are, however, combined in nearly the same proportions, and exhiLit also the same forms wherever they ere met with. Thus-the granite of the North t'ote differs very little Irmo that of the Clpe of Good Hope or Sohth America. The reason of this is very plain. Chemists have male known upwards of 50 different elementary substances which they cannot further de compose. In!general, however, only eight of these substances enter into the compositi.in of the vast amount of reeks cumpos ing the crust of the globe, and iiiese are magnesium, iron, cal cium, carbon, silica. sulphur, ox gen ant: oydregen. Very few substailves occur in name iu,a pure stale, beiug in general highly combined with oxygen. Oxygen ferias 50 per cent of the matter of the globe. Some geelogists believe twit toe crust of the earth was oxydieed by combination with oxygen when the mass of matter composing it was in a molten state. At this stage o f our prpceeding,s, it will be well. to notice the most common of the minerals Of which toe earth is cotopeseil. The fist and most important of these is siiiva. Quartz is chiefly composed of it. Silica is universally diffused through nature, and exists in two. conditions, either in, the state of au acid to form silicates, or as a simpl e m i nera l t o form compound rocks or entire strata. The reason why lime forms so durable and hard . ? when mixed with 'sand, is, because the silica oldie sand combines with the lime to form silicate of lime. When silica occurs in the simple state it is ealled quartz. .Quartz possesses a vitreous lustre, and is harder than most minerals. 'lt gives out sparks when struck with steel, and is infusible with the blow pipe. Its most curious form' is that of a sic sided prisM, although it is met with of a great variety of forms. Sometimes it occurs covered over with the rust of iron, and at others mixed with carboniferous inagers.and of a black hue. In this state it occurs very abundantly in nature, forming one third part of granite and the same of gneiss. The sand stones which we meet with are nattily , else than grains of quartz or silica agglutinated together. 'Opal, is a compound of quartz and water. If subjected to . the blow pipe, opal gives our its water. Flint is also a Mass of silica. Some very curious dis coveries have been recently made with respect to this sub stance. We find that a great portion of siliceous matters have been the production of animals. if a piece of animal matter be left to macerate in water, a number of little animalculm will - make their appearance, and move through the water with great rapidity. A celebrated German naturalist, found that these animalculie, many of them only ..1-300th of an inch in length, possessed little skeletons. Bv.colouring the wather with indigo and vermillion, he was able to discover their internal Structide. The skeletons of these animalcular are not like those of muscles,' formed of carbonate of lime, : but of silica. _There are in Hungary three strata of. silica, Composed entirely of the skeletons of these animalculea. This silica is used b`y, the seloiers of the l'rusi. , ian army, for the purpose of polishing. their arms. What is equally remarkable is the fact, that gun flints are composed of the skeletons of such little creatures. The secoutl mineral of extreme frequency is the substance called felspar. It is distinguished from quartz by .being softer,. and it can be melted. by the blow-pipe into glass or enamel. It is a silicate of alumina and potash. It enters largely into basalt, : granite, and trap rocks in general. It ; presents a great variety of forms and colours, the predominant of which are green . and white. It is expos e d to a great variety of changes, and decom poses on exposure to the atmospheric.air, and leaves a substance which is used as putter's clay. .In the neighbourhood of volca noes it often happeris that the . silica is wash:d away, end that sulphur combines with the alumiva and .potassium. Another va riety of felspar, called albite is a composition of alumina and soda.• The vitreous felspar found in the nighbourlmod of volca, noes is a compnund of lime . and alumina. ; ,Th e L a b ra d or, a. beautiful black mineral, is. oftenconfounded with felspar,, item, which it, however, differs in comp.ositipn. It occurs iu many green stones, amid in, the lavas of volcanoes. Pyroxene and hornblende are. silicates ofiron. They occur in the lavas of Etna and Vesuvius, in the Giant's Cau s eway, and, Stain. They are composed of lime, magnesium, silica, and. iron. The first can be firmed artificially. It is found in the slag of furnaces. If we take the materials of which it is composed, it can be formed by exposing it to a great heat in a crucible. This experiment is ioteresting, inasmuch as these minerals, being only produced, in lavas, - we are,able, to produce ip °aria briroplies what nature produces in her great furnaces. The hornblende we cannot form by any process of art; -on the con, trary,if we jut it into a crucible we find that pyroxene is formed Hence we find tbat..pyroxene is formed infavas which have, cooled. with great rapidi t y, b ut th at h pru bl en dewas formed front the process Of cooling having been slow and under great pres sure Hvpersthene occurs in Cumberland and Greenland. It is a silicate of iron and magnesium. Mica occurs very frequently in nature in pieces of great size. It is distinguished from talc by being elastic. In Russia it is used in the catiin windows of ships instead Ott . glass, as it is not so liable to be broken. It occurs of different colours. It is an almost essentially component part of granite. It is easily distin guished by its elasticity, besides which, it is easily scratched With a needle. ! Talc, which resembles mica in its general chararters,differs from it in total want.of elasticity. It is soft, unctuous to the touch, and infusible. It is a silicate of magnesium. Iron pyrites are Composed of sulphur and iron. They are found in the form of a cube, but they exist in crystals of other forms. In some cases, a portion of the pyrites is converted into oxide of iron, - and we get copperas or sulphate of iron from the remaining portion. There are caves in au Irish county which are exciting some attention, in consequence of the variety of curious metamorphoses which the iron pyrites undergo in them. In some cases, the cave is covered .with gypsum or sulphate of lime, which is no donht owing to the decomposition of the sul phate of iron, and the combination of its sulphuric acid with the lime. Carbonate of lime is a substance which.is easily recognisable. Calcareous spar is easily recognised by scratching it with.the knife, or by pouring a drop of any acid upon it, when efferves cence takes place: Next to siiica, carbonate of. lime is by far the most abundant mineral in nature, and forms the greater . - portion of the second ar y roc k s of England. It has been, men.- tioued, that silica is formed by anitnal,culaa, but what, takes place in an ext reme l y limited degree, .with respect to silica, takes place t., a very great extent with cabonaceous minerals; and if we trace them through every portion of the globe we may, invariably attribute them to animal origin. Even when the skeletons of the animals composing it are not visible, we can easily detect their detritus, or the wearing down of their skeletons.. The forms of the different rocks ate. very remarkable, aad give to certain countries highly picturesque appearances. Thus for instance if we look at what are called the primary moun tains, composed of granite, we find them to present spiral ,ridges intersected with very deep ravines, with exceedingly sharp angles and peaks. The rocks called Quartz, which occur very comnusonly in nature, 'exercise a very remarkable eff e ct upon the scenery of countri e s. If they occur upon their edges as they sometimes do, and there are frequently beds of clay oc curring between their strata, the clay, in process of time, is . washed away,,whilst the Quartz I - et:rains. Thus in some por tions of central India there are lines nt mountain chains coin posed entirely of Quartz. The Quartz does not exist . in perpen dicular but in horizontal strata, presenting a conical outline, so that a person acquainted with geol,rgy could tell at 20 miles •distance the formation of the rocks: Anyone who has entered the bay of Dublin roust have noticed the two mountains which go by th e n a me of the greater and lesser sugar loaf. These are Quartz rocks. The Jour mountains in Scotland are instances of the same kind. Not only is the picturesque character of a country thus constituted, but in some measure the vegetation. Of a country is modified by the nature of the rocks of which it is cotniisvd. There arc a satiety of plants which maybe con sidered geological plants, Weranse they only occur upon particu lar rocks or minerals. Thus the lichens afford a very striking, instance of this tact. Numerous other examples were cited in suppiet of this fact, which is of great importance to the agricul turist, because it shows that every kind of mineral soil has its owsn - kind of plants adapted to it. To-morrow evening Mr. Scouler delivers his second lecture, in which he will enter upon a detail of the structure of rocks. rHE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SECOND EDIT/ON. Standard Office, Three o'Clock.

The custom is universal; common labourers, fishermen, private soldiers, salute each other with a bow, and do not merely touch the hat,•but take it off. This is carefully taught to the children, and even the Schoolboys bow to each other in the streets. Such a custom is not to he laughed at : it has a humanizing effect. The exterior form of good-will, although but a form, in troduces a pause before any expression of or passion can be indulged. * • There is something good even in the forms o f goodness ; and •it is not unimportant, that, though only e mechanical, thy should be Omer% ed by the very lowest class in heir ordinary lute: course.—L a i n y' s N orway . • . .
