landing the rest also on the Ju5 limestone: Inc
opposite the sle Of Chloe the arm of the sea 10 70
miles wide between Chloe and Chill the glaciers
come down with masses Of the Andes rocks to the
sea; here iceberg. are formed, which carry these
rocks across TO the isle of Chlve and strand them at
various heights, after dropping of them to the
bottom OF the sea. Now we have only TO suppose
an upheaval OF the Andes to the height OF the Ber-
nese OF Alps and of the isle of Chloe to the height
OF the uIa, and The intervening arm Of the sea.
which is about 1000 feet deep, laid dry, we should
have precisely the same puxzng appearances, that
We nave now upon the Jufa, as 10 how these blocks
OF granite and senlte were dispersed on the Chilean
chain Of hills.
Mr.. LyELL finished the course Of lectures bv a
slight reference TO Long Island, which he said was
almost entirely made up of the boulder formation ;
the blocks at this end of the island were from the
pallsades ihoSe IN the centre Of the island were evil
IDENTITY from the valley Ct the Connecticut; and those
on the island opposite New Haven. were of the trap
rock class, similar to that rock stu al New Haven
All these rocks might have been carried thiher by
icebergs when Long Island was submerged, or by
drifting coast ice afterwards This drifting coast
ice frequently carries the blocks tina. fall down from
hills on the coast to distance Of seven hundred
miles To Judge Of the weight of rock these ice-
bergs will carry, we mast remember that icebergs
are often two hundred feet high, and many miles in
circumference and that Tor every cubic foot of ice
above water there are eight cubic feet below water.
And in the North Seas, whole masses of coast have
been formed by the rocks brought by this drifting
coast ice; some of which is sufficient TO msve all
the buildings in the city Of New York
In taking his leave, Mr.. LYELL said this was the
last lecture he should deliver in the United States
ne should now resume his geological tour west
and north and the welcome and kindness he had
met from Lake Erie to the Savannah River, had
made him forget that he was in a foreign land.

TIE SENATE are neglecting the interest of the
country. The army and navy returns for promotions
are not acted upon, notwithstanding the CRYING
wants OF the public service, and especially in the
navy. disappointment and discomfort, added to
the troubles incident to want Of pay, is enough to
disgust all officers connected with The public de.
fence. The people see it, and are chagrined and
vexed. From one end of the country to the other
everywhere we see evidence OF Indignation in the
lure.

The ElectiOn-Grcat RevolutiOn-Thc World
upside down.

We live in wonderful age. Alexander the
Great was boy, and Julius Cesar suckling babe
to the chaps of these days. New York is won
derfu cty-her people are wcnderul-her women
wonderful-her politicians still more wonderful. -
Here we are on the verge of an election, with five
parties in the field-and. the last begotten the most
curious of all. There's the democrats-here the
whgs-the indie pendeHts-the aboliti onists, and,
though last not least, "them Patriots" with Captain
Monroe for their Candidate.
In Washington Captain Tyler has headed off
Harry Clay, and sent him home TO raise rutabaga at
Ashland-and in New York up comes the Patriots,
through broken chairs and chandeliers, nominating
Captain James Monroe, who will head off Mr.. Nor
ris, and Mr. PhGnlx and Mr.. Field, the famous
Irish chefain. Thomas OConnor, King of Con
naught, has already fed from the field frighted for
his " childer' to the very death. Captain Monroe
has accepted the chiefainshp oil the Patriots in
one of the most original, curious, and Shakspearean
documents OF the day. 1t is model of brevity, viz
tue, independence, sarcasm, wisdom and states
manship. We shall publish in satin and gold
as soon as the election shall have been completed.
We live truly in great age. In the confusion
Of parties-and in the midst of shocking scenes o
Generalization, the spirit Of reform has been infus
ed into the sons of men, and all at oi.ce a new
movements GREAT AND GRAND PATRIOT
MOVEMENT-or originates, and all the scoundrels Of
the age-all the sinners of the day repent, and will
soon be forgiven. II is equal TO the temperance
movement al least.
This birth of new party, like every new revo-
luton in geology as Professor Lyell tells US, is
marked with an eruption-an upheaval of the raw
materials OF the world. The parurition of the pa.
tros in Washington Hall was signalised by the !up
heaval OF four chairs and table-ihe subsidenc,
of beautiful chandelier-the breaking of any guam
tty of noses-besides an overflow of a decent guam
tty ofrespectable blood and thunder. These events
were enough to give eciat TO the birth Of any party
but when we couple with that the general state
soclety-the want Of some great noyelty-the
temper of the tlmes-nothing would seem TO pre-
vent the Patriots from becoming one OF the mes
prominent people of the day Let it not be for
gotten, therefore, that the second
