A late number of the Westminster Rerie1c in no.
ticing poSthumoUs collection of lectures on geolo
gy written by Hugh Miller, makes some startling
statements relative to the probable existence Of
human beings on earth before the time of the ac-
credited head of the present race of men. 1t is
founded on the discovery of certain implements
similar to those in among rude nations in those
geological deposits which science has proved were
made many thousands of years snce-long before
the beginning of the six thousand wears which
Scripture chronology assigns as the age of the pre-
sent race of men. These discoveries were the find
ing by NJ. De Perthes of fnts obviously fashioned
by the hand of man, in gravel pits on hills two
hundred feet high, near Abbevie, France, and
also under the floor of cave in DevonShire Eng
land; the gravel bed being overlaid with thick
beds OF sand and loans containing the delicate
shells OF fresh-water mollusks. These were exam
ined by two capable geologists, and from their
Investigations the inferenCes according to the Vest
minister seem irresistible that these implements
originally imbedded in the gravel with the remains
OF animals which are known to have tenanted
Europe during the period of its formation; and the
only reasonable doubt that can present itself as to
mans cotemporaneity with them, arises out of the
question, whether these fints We're really fashioned
by the art of man, or whether they NAV have de-
rived their peculiar cOnfguraton from natural
causes. The latter however, is asserted to be clear
ly impossible.

SCARCITY OF PAPER IN ENGLAND.-The Englsl
papers report that, in consequence of the unprece
dentcdly brisk state of the publishing trade, the
ally disproportioned to the supply, and the manu-
facturers have consequently been compelled to
make a considerable advance in price. The Criti
says:
This will materially affect the cheap press
whose requirements for paper are very large, ant
whose profit is brought to the lowest possible ebt
by the pernicious influence of the paper duty
is thought in the trade that consequence of the
rise III the price Of paper will be- that those of th
cheap press which use superior quality must ethel
increase their selling price or use an inferior kline
of paper. With the cheaper kind Of publication
the Inconvenience will be very serious, some 0
