OF the observations at Charleston harboc referred
to yesterday in the association, the action had
been observed during food az we'll as ebb tide,
and at intervals
Prof BAcHE stated that the observations 70
which be hsd referred yesterday comprised those
at different times OF tide and la various localities
on the shoals and in tie channels they are still
in progress
Mr. REDFIELD observed that the deposits at
the entrance TO our bays undoubtedly came from
the shores, and were probably carried by the sc-
tioD of the waves and tides to their places, and
probably, as supposed by Lieut. Davis, by the
food tide. The particles being more or less finely
divided and assuming position accordingly, the
very fine particles being carried to sea by the cob
tide and deposited as ooze or mud.
Prof PIERCE remarked upon the i'm portance OF
the charts presented, and the complete view
which they gave Of the facts intended to be repre-
scented, worth everything TO the navigator ia his
art and TO the engineer In his CONGRATULATIONS.
Prof. SCHAUFFER observed that Ia a survey OF
the entrance Of the Harlem river, near New York,
made by him some years since, he had observed
facts in regard 10 deposits az the entrance which
be had been unable 70 explain until he became
acquainted with the theory Of Lieut.. Davis in re-
gard to the action Of the food tide
A paper on the Gephyrea Of the Atlantic Coast
oftbe United States, by L. POurtalis, of Wash
ngton, was presented by Prof BAIRD, bat being
entirely technicsin it's character, was not read.

the Red Sandstone Rocks OF New Jersey, and the
Connecticut Valley, as shown by fossil remains,

THE LATE GEN. LOPEZ,

Narclsco Lopez, who has lost his life ig.
unanimously at Havana, was born of veal
thy parents in Venezuela. In 1900 lie was
the only son of his parents that grew to man
hood, though he had n number Of sisters
His father had commercial house in Carac-
cas-, branch Of which at Valencia, in the
interior, was placed under the charge oi
Narcisco ot an early age. During the trou.
bes of 1914, young Lopez sided with the
popular party, but Afterwards enlisted in the
Spanish army, when fortune turned in It's
favor and at the end of the civil war he was
made Colonel when only twenty.three
years Of age. ....
After the Spanish army evacuated yene.
zuela, Lopez went to Cuba where he re.
mained and established himself in life, soon
making himself conspicuous by his advoca.
cy Of liberal principles. During the first
Carlist troubles he CHANGED TO be in Madrid
on private business. Having Joined the
royaists party he was made aid de.camp TO
the commander-in-chief, Gen. Valdez, and
received several military decorations. He
was hoDored with several important Offices
by the Queen and finally was made Cover.
ncr Of Madrid. Afterwards, as Senator from
Seville, he IL suid to have made the cohdi,
ton OF Cuba his especial study, and the ex.
pulsion OF the Cuban Deputies from the
COrtes induced him to resign his Offices anC
return to the Island. There he held sever
al posts under the Captain General Valdez
Finally he undertook the re-worsing of ~
abandoned copper NINE in the Central De
parment where he is said to have employ
ed his time in nstiling liberty principles IL
the minds Of the popuIace.
In 1919, when he thought everything wa
ripe for a revolution. he came TO the Unitct
States and got up the immature and wors,
than useess attempt at an invasion. known
ms the Round Island Expedition. In May
1850. the famous invasion eud sudden eva
cuation Of CaTdenas took place. lnAugus
1851, he again landed III Cuba, at Bays
Honda. Ills followers were speedily des
troyed or captured, and he himself, fugi
tive among the mountains, was taken on th'
9th OF August. On the lst of September
1851. he suffered the ignominious death o
the Carotte, at Havana. These are tn
principal events of life, remarkable for il
Inconsistencies. Lopez's integuty as pu
THO. has been often questioned, but we ar
disposed TO discuss it now. He is said &
have died bovcly, and we are willing to re
fer his errors rather TO his head tIian hi
