Professor HUXLEY, the eminent Eng

Professor HUXLEY, the eminent Eng
lish naturalist, is furnishing stimulat-
ing Intellectual treat to the intellectual
people Of New York in series OF lee
lures. The Introductory discourse was
given on the 19'h instant. We give a
brief eytrac, from the report of the New
York Herald:
The present strata Of the earth are
known 70 he exactly Of the same nature
as those being now formed under known
conditions at the surface of tho earth.
The cretaceons formations found on the
TANKS of mountain ranges. being ldenti'
cal with what was being now formed at
the bottom OF the Atlantic. were adduced
in proof. The crusts thus formed be-
come "A measure of time, the youngest
being uppeImost. the Oldest undermost,
and being also measure OF the time at
which the events tran PRED in the pro
cess Of their formation. They are full
of the remains Of countless plants anc
animals inst as they are being Imbedded
now. The most superficial observation
shows that these plants and animals have
oniv had n temporary duration. Going
back in these strata we see different ones,
and still further back different ones still,
until at last We lose trace of them alto
ne.her. Thus circumstantial evidence
absolutely negatives the eternity Of the
present condition of things. HE third
hypothesis is that founded Gpon the his
tory of the earth i'll the stra,ified rocks.
The various strata represent perloas OF
time SO great that human chronology
hardly affords US a unit Of measure for
them. We lind that al! that Is now dry
band was once ut the bottom OF the water
and II is certain that in the cretaceous
period no one of the great features OF the

are to. day. The Rocky Mountains, the
Himalayas, the Fyrenees, the Alps, dlti
not exist, as ne find masses Of cretaceous
rocks upon their TANKS, and they must
have been uplieaved. Going back we
meet with alterations Of sea and land.
