GEoLoGY.--Mr Lawrence, in a lecture on
theology, at Louisville, Kentucky, in speaking
OF changes IN the earth's surface. said that
q" Inc Mississippi river within the last two
hundred years has advanced thirty miles into
the Gulf of MEXICO. And observation proves
that the Gulf Of Mexico formerly extended high
er up Than where the mouth of the Ohio is now.
All those most boundess bottoms extending
from the southern part of Illinois, once we've oc.
cnpled by an arm Of the sea. AL this filling up
has been done at the expense of the country
watered by those rivers. But much the largest
portion of the mineral matter carried down bv
the river IS conveyed to a great distance into the
ocean. There it is distributed in layers upon
us bed. LAYER after LAYER is thus formed, which,
IN process of time, by pressure. by chemical at.
ilnity, aud by other causes, gradually becomes
consolidated INTO the hardness of ordinary rock.
TINS is the history of all the rocks in the west.
Every part Of this vast country has, a, some PEI
Rod, formed a part of the bed of the ocean,
which then received contributions from other
lands, from which all our present rocks have
been formed, and has subsequently been raised
/ to ITS present elevation, above il. This is like
wise demonstrated by the abundance of organic
remains found in all our rocks, all of which are
OF marine origin. Another cause of change is
the VIC ring action of rivers, all uf which in the
west have ted the whole of their channels
through which they now flow. When they CON-
meaced running, their beds were higher than
the highest point along their shores now are
for these must have suffered some abrasion -
hence all the hills in the west have been produ-
ced by the action of the waters, instead Of hav-
ing been elevated, and are from this circum.
stance termed hills Of degradation. 1t was shown
that the sea and land gradually change places,
that portions Of tie earth are gradually rising
and encroaching upon the sea, while others are
as gradually sinking and are encroached upon
by the sea. A recent elevation of the country
through which the Missouri flows was supposed
to be the cause Of the rapidly and muddiness Of
its current"
