LECTURE ON NATURAL HISTORY.

The eminent lecturer, Mr.. Waterhouse Hawkins,
delivered the fourth, the last Of the course of
lectures TO be given In this city, at the
Cooper Institute, last evening" before O
large and appreclatlve audience. The sub
Iect selected was, "The Monkey and It's Relations
20 Man In Primitive state" The lecturer referred
TO the deep interest that had been excited BY the a
counts OF some recent travellers and African OK
plorers with regard TO the monkey, and the strange
but unfounded theory held and advanced by some hat
urasts that this animal was the original stock from
which the human family has sprung. In his pre-
yious lectures he had endeavored TO show by ana
toncal ustra tions the unity that existed between
the dTerent orders Of the animal creation, In which
man ms had no part, place or connection whateyer,
and closest study that there was not the slightest
grounds whatever for the theory that there was any
trace OF similarity between man and the monkey, no
more than there was any similarity between man and
lecturer gave very perfect illustrations OF the structure
OF different animals by drawings on a blackboard,
showing the minute points OF resemblance between
them all from the rat to the monkey. some OF the
animal species presented In their anatomical struc
ture closer resemblance to the peculiar character
isucs OF man than OF the monkey tribe. He referred
TO the bear instance Of this assertion, which, he
said, from It's anatomical structure, was much bette

The Court Uniform

MI. mira demagogues Of this land VINO
ora gathered now into the Radical party
among their many hypocritical acts merely
for party effect, passed some two winters
since resolution in effect prohibiting min
listers of the United States from appearing
officially at foreign courts in the dress
prescribed by such courts. MIR. ADAMS
our minister to England, has lately been
missed on two occasions in the brilliant
assemblies drawn together blythe reappear-
ance of Queen VICTORIA in such scenes
after her long seclusion. In the language
of the Court Journal, "the United States
envov WAS absent from unavoidable cir
cumstances!"
Anarchists are always Mortified at form.
The French reyolutionists were most
sn;teful in their malice towards ceremo-
MES and titles, and in lieu of forms intro
duced anarchy and the guillotine. Forms
NAV be carried to excess but they are
;ndisnensable in civilized and virtuous
society. The court ceremonies are essen
tial for the preservation of dignity ana
order-the main supports of authority.
The court dress is prescribed tokeep up
distinctions on State occasions, and SUD-
serves a useful purpose as we'll as adds TO
the imposing character of the courtesles
and civilities of rulers and high officials.
It is both churlish and vulgar in any 60
vernment to prohibit its representatives.
from conforming to rules prescribed Tor
such occasions by foreign sovereigns.
We don't know any people who are more
prone to fnery and pomposity than the
shoddy and other millionaires in this coun-
try, who have sprung up like mushrooms,
and who have so often caused the cheeks
of the intelligent American to burn with
shame for the vulgarity they have exhibit
ed at foreign courts. With such obtru-
siveness, bad taste, and ignorance, .as are
often displayed by these persons, it looks
strange to the rejecting European that
their Government should require its repre-
sentatives not to conform to the court
etiquette of the Governments to which
they are accredited.
