Thcir Structure md Natural HlstOry-Lecture
by Professor A. j. EbelI.
lecture was delivered last evening at the Cooper
Institute by Professor EDell on the above subject,
being OF the free course OF scientific lectures
under the auspices OF the Cooper Union. There
was large attendance The Professor commenced
by observing that the kingdom was made with refer.
ence to certain ends and designs, showing that
the great Creator had particular object
In view He then proceeded to describe
the structure OF the bird, dlla!ing chiefly
on It's Dony and muscular organism. The bony
structure was composed OF great amount OF
mineral material, and was one OF the best ex-
mechanism that could be found. He outlined
the chain OF vertebrg, showing the structure
from the head to the tall. The system was
composed with special reference to power,
strength and lighness with the least amount OF ma
teria. The arrangements Of the muscular system OF
the bird were most distinctly and clearly outlined
AdveTting to the organs OF sense he explained tnat
taste was wanting In the Bird as might be observed
from the manner in which 1t gobbled It's food down
Whole-and.he would ada That the people OF the
American nation were In great measure following
the example OF the bird in that respect on account
OF the extreme haste in which they bOlted their
food making but little OF their mouths In REFER
enCe to taste and masticatOn. The Of hearing
in the bird was less developed Than that OF
sight, which was the most powerful, while the
sense or touch was most largely developed In the
beak and foot. The bird had breathing system all
over the body. After alludnG to the Immense grind
power OF the gizZard the lecturer proceeded 10
refer to the development OF the egg, and subse-
quenty to the method OF motion IN various small IN
sccts, and particularly the means Of ocomotlon em.
plOyed by shes showing that the tail was the chief
OrGan while large numoer depended on their nns,
which acted as balancing power.
Tbelecturer was listened to with deep attention.

Appeal rom the circuit court for the Southern
District Of Ne,o Y0rk.-This was case OF collision
which occurred between the schooner A. v. Bedell
and the steamer Potomac the night OF the 7th Of
July, 1S5s in the Chesapeake bay Dear the mouth Of
the Rappahannock river. The schooner was head
ing about north, going up the bay, sailing by the
wind, which was about w. N. W. On deck
were tho captain, one man at the wheel
and one forward, stationed az lookout
The steamer was bound down the bay
ana was sailing due south. having the required
lights burning in their proper places. The lookout
Of the steamer reported vessel on the starboard
bow. The mate ordered the helm TO be starboarded
two points and steadled; but soon discovering that
the schooner was nearing the steamer he again Or
dered the helm to be starboarded. The captain
then came into the pilot house, rang the bell and
stopped the engine, but the schooner was struck on
the arb0ard SIDE Just abaf her fore rigging by the
bow OF the steamer, and cutting deeply into and i'm.
medlatey sinking her, resulting In total loss. The
evidence satisfied the District Court below that the
steamer was at ault and the decree was for the libel
liant; but upon appeal to the Circuit the decree
OF the District Court was reversed and the
libel dismissed, that court holding that as it
was plain the schooner changed her course to
the eastward by porting her helm, the steamer
could not be charged with the collision. III the
schooner had Kept her course 1t would have been
the duty OF the steamer to take of her. the
change OF course by tue schooner brought her
the track Of the ste8mer and caused the collision.
the libeliant brings the here contending tnat
the decree OF the Circuit should be reversed and
that OF the District Court affirmed, and the evi-
dence is set out and discussed at great length to
