inuiM AC s7 a. Prof. Cont La th qualiti nMcwaarT for tb writer of a text-book en geology. II has kawldg, clearness, and bo(Jnaa. HI acquaintance with tb fact of bis profession approach th completeness ot Dana, aad add to it rood dJ of th trsaehant rigor of II alley Cop.

Although hintlf point Mt tbt kU book I not axaastlr snaaual, like tbatof Prof. Daaa, but rather a mammary tb lemnt of goology, la rdr to present whatever 1 beat end snoot interwating geological eieaoa, and although disclaim any comparison wltb that text-book, yt it not possibl to svold om paring tb two. It I a fact that too prwont toxt-book mora sketehlly written, and Imw out a groat doai of important matter that wtU bo found ia Dana's maanat bat it would hardly fair to underrate (U ralaa by dwelling tbat point, or, on tb other band, bellttl Dana's work with any hint as to lu possible dryness and want of nveeting tb requirement of tho day. Tbo trntb la, tbat Prof. La Coat represent a slightly different standpoint on th gsotogtcal qoestlon front tbat of tb geologist of Yal.

II is a nor eotspoksa bllrr la tb theory ef rotation, but is aot at all raady te challenge absolutely tb more eonserrstir attitude of his senior. Ileae bis book takes groand beside tb work of Prof. Dana, and, whll presenting- many tb new facte discovered during- th last 10 year, especially la tb United States, becomes, also, tb organ for those naturalists who wish to go maeb farther than further than Dana, bat perhaps not quite tb lengths demanded by ax ley and bis German lieu tenant IlaeekeL It Is a supplement, and a most welcome supplement, to Dana's baud book, for it not only presents another rtew ef tb larger questions of palaeontology, but supplies many fap which cannot filled rn by so complete a manual as tb latter. On tb other band, a goodly portion of what find here is also te Us Men la other works ef tb same gen-ral character. Even tb wood -cuts are familiar.

Irof. Coat has adhered eren more to the geological records of bis astir country than Prof. Dana, for has not added to tb resistor of each epoch to geology of tb same age in Euros. Ills examples at drawn almost ox-elualvaly from North Anseriea, which, as is well known, affords, th beat aerie of geological oratatiob of any portion of tb glob. Tb gradual ad ranee of tb continent from Canada southward has laid ud a tabulated record of tb peat age.

II ia also more American in bis Isrger use, mentioned a bo re. of tb results of explorations by Professors lik Harsh and Newberry, and of tb BcientlA men on tb United fctnte surreys. Coat take a comprehensive rlew of th wkol question, and dlrldo bis subject Into three grand divisions. Geology seems to him llvlslble into dynamical, structural, and historical. By dynamical understand tb effects of Tour agencies.

th agency of tb air, of water, of Ar, and of organic matter. In structural geology he sks tehee th form and structure of th earth, speaking in separate chapters of the rocks formed by deposit, (stratified or sedimentary rocks,) those formed by fir, and tho called metemorpbio, which bar been rystaUlsed by application of heat in some manner unknown. Th structure common to all rocks is treated under this bead, as well as tb abject of the wearing away of rocks by water or other means. Tbo third part is devoted to palaeontology. Her th position of Coat as an evolutionist ot sufficiently pronounced type makes Itself clearly evident.

For uses evolution as cm which to string tb aiot salient facta, such a bar been unearthed lb, host of fossils discovered during and sine th tfm of Cuvier. II explains then either frankly or by inference on theories similar or subordinate to evolution. Tb present geological era Is termed Psychosoie, (soul-animal,) or the ag of man. Tbat immediately preceding is th Ccnosoic, (recent-animal,) or ag of mammals, which Is subdivided again Into th periods called tertiary sad quaternary. A little more than half tb book is given to this third part, which sets forth the modern ideas of evolution.

It is necessarily sketchy, and moreover largely filled up with srood-cuts of tb Strang sea-shells, fish, reptiles, and mammals which are needed to support th argument. II ere we find many th "links" in th contested chain of evolution which Prof. Marsh has exhumed i from their resting places la th far West, and her, too, is th graduated series of hoofs belonging to animals of th horse or tapir variety which Huxley lately used in bis lectures in this City. But it would be a mistake to suppose that In Cont Is a dogmatic rolutionlstl It Is plain what his sentiments really are, but is not so Imprudent as to make blunt assertions. Ills book Is essentially a prod act of the popularising sfseieae now going on, and consequently Is aot framed on th old system of stating a theory and then going to work to defend It.

tooth and nelL There la no attempt to conceal his own opinion, but there is also no thrusting evolution down the throat of readers. Cont Is strongest In the first or dynamical part. There we find Mm assuming an independent stand on tb great question a to whether geological eras ages which show marked diversity in their lists of organic life were gradually and slowly shaded off on Into another, or whether th transitions between them were abrupt or eataclysmai." His argument include both theories. II sees th vi-dene of gradual change becoming at certain times greatly hurried, a that a comparatively abort period (speaking by ten thousands of years) must have sufficed to mak tremendous change la th appaarano of th earth and its vegetable and animal Ufa. Of course, this is a stand-point very distant from th old on of sudden now creations at th beginning of each era.

This must do a a warrant of what th buyer of his text-book may expect. The evolutionist will think that Prof. Coat has been singularly moderate la his views, aad th bob-evolutionist will find a strong but not bigoted pre tnuat of th question, It is an abl work sod a timely. thx roftTrouo.

K. W. Howgate's plan for th exploration of the Arctic regions, arrangements bad been mad for th reception of tb Earl of lmfferin, Governor-General of Canada, aad this led to a comparatively large attendance, considering the -very inclement nature of the weather. Lord Bwfferin was very cordially received by th audience, snd in -tb course of th yen-lug was mad aa honorary member of th society. Chief-Justice Daly presided, snd among those on the platform were William Cullen Bryant, Bayard Taylor, Gen.

George W. Cnllum, Prof. T. Sterry Hunt, Albert Bierstadt, Prof. W.

Inasmuch aa Mr. Stanley' four journey hsd been so intimately connected with the liberality and eullgMened enterprise of Mr. Jsmes Gordon Bennett, who Is Tallow of the society, a resolution was also adopted tendering the eongratnla-, tions of the society to Mr. Bennett. Chief -Justice Daly next announced ths purpose for which the meeting hsd been convened, and alluded in complimentary terms te this presence en suck sa arctic night of the Earl of Dufferin.

himself an Arctic traveler of wide experience, and the author of one of the most sprightly snd pleasant books which had been written on traveling in latitudes. In reference to Capt. Howgate's plan of Arctic exploration, ha proposed to make only a few remarks. In sa-srr to the question frequently out to him, Why should we try te reach the North Pols why send out expeditions to that Inhospitable region where they already know that the approach to it is surrounded by such formidable barriers be had only to say that there was no portiun of the earth's surface where obeervatiou relating to scientific problems nf-fecting the whole globe was so important as in the polar aasin and its vicinity. The tremendous foreee there at work were physical phenomena that it wa most important to observe and study.

In conclusion. Chief Jastiee Ialy introduced Lieut. Greeley, United States Army, who was to accompany Capt. Howgate, aad who, he said, would explain the olaa of that officer. Lieut.

Greeley explained that Cspt. Howgate bsd been detained ia Washington to meet Congressional committee, and so bad been deprived ot the pleasure of being present tbat evening. He then expounded the plan ot Caps. Howgate. which was.

ia effect, to establish a colony of hardy, resolute men at some point nesr the border of the Polar Sea, and then to push on the explorations from that point. Mr. William Cullen Bryant, who was next Introduced, spoke briefly of the advantage of polar exploration in a scientific point of view. While commerce withdrew from the field, eeienee, heenid, came forward to carry it to those, magnificent results which, in the case of science, always sprang frem small beginnings. Mr.

Bayard Taylor was the next speaker. He hsd been requested, be said, to discharge the honorable duty of calling attention to the presence of tbo Earl of Luff erin among thsm. Hs mentioned Lord luf. ferin as most distinguished traveler, spoke In complimentary term of hi writmgs concerning Ireland, and said that it was inst and fitting they should tender him such recognition as lay in their power. He therefore moved that be be elected an honorary member of the American Geographical Society.

The proposition was carried by acclamation. The Earl of Luff erin wa then Introduced by Chief-Justine Duly. In rising, he said, to sespond to the kind observations which had been made la his regard, his mind wa disturbed by conflicting considerations. On the one hand he felt that he had not the least professional right or title to intervene upon such aa occasion, but on the other hand be would be very sorry if he had not an opportunity to express how very deeply he felt the kind reception that had been extended to him. It wa very true that some year ago he hsd sailed toward the North Pole, bat his Journey bad been as fruitless ss the Journey of the eri to the gate of Paradise.

Indeed, th only feature which bis Journey had in common with the voyages i of distinguished explorers was that, like them. he hsd te turn back again. (Laughter.) Neither had tbat journey been of any use to science or of any personal advantage. All he could claim was that be had been sbls to establish tb temperature of the sea in certain portions of the Arctic ocean that had never before been explored by vessels. Ye there wss one capacity in which he had a right to claim admission to tbat hall, and that was as a member of the Geographical Society of London.

They all knew that geographers were brothers all the world over. Toe line of ethnological and political demarcation had for them ao significance; they were merely ss bad been once said of Itely-Hteographieal expressions. Tlis only heroes that they inscribed oa the roll of fame were those enterprising aad unselfish explorers who. devoting their lives te the eauae of scienes, pointed out to their el low-men ths wsy to i thoe unknown regions of th earth which God had prepared for the advantage and habitation of the human race. It wa.

theref orev a a brother geographer that he ventured to address them, and he con id assure them that in England they fully appreciated the efforts which had been made here for the advancement of geographical knowledge. They felt that if in any coon try maritims adventure should be successful, it ought to on that continent which owed its birth to tks hardihood sud enterprise, of ths greatneat navigator that ever trimmed a sail or took a bearing. la England they were not forgetful of the names 'of Hayes. Kane, snd Hall, just ss her they remembered those of and Belcher. He was glad that the two great representatives of the Anglo-Saxon raee should take such a part tn exploring the vast expanse of tb Arc lis Oceaa and tb recesses of Africa.

But it wss aot ths capacity of explorer that he was there that night. When Columbus returned from bis great discovery be brought with him in chains chiefs of the nations he had come ia contact with, as a proof of the truth of hi narrative. Their discussion that night wss soaoerning lands that lay beneath A returns, and wes lighted br the radiance of the Aurora, and his friend Chief -Jostles Italy desired to exhibit him ss a potentate whose sceptre almost touched the pole, aad who ruled over a larger area of snow than any other sovereign. Bat the prisoners of Columbus had their fetters stricken off when they were brought before the kind hearted Isabella. The fetters, however, which bound hue had been so f.rrred by the kindness, tioepitality.

EASOX i CHARGED "WTTH CRIME NOT C-- TITLED TO AX EXAMINATION BEPORE A MAGISTRATE AS A MATTER OP BIGHTS THE CASE OP NELSON 6E3NKR. The General Term of th Supremo Court rendend a decision yesterday oa th appeal by IHs-triet Attorney Phelps from th order of Jndg West brook ia th case of Nelson A. Geansr. The Utter was srrested sa Aug. 34, 1S77, oa a warrant hstacd by Police Justice Duffy, oa a charge of Gesnsr dsnisnilsd an examination and 1 before the magbttiste.

Mnce ivo adjournment were bsd untH Sept. 3. On that day Gesner was in-dieted for the alleged forgery by the Grand Jury of the General Sessions, and, following K. came bench warrant for his arrest, issued by th General Sessions. Upon this the examination before the Police magistrate was adjourned, and Cesser was brought tatu the Gourtof General Sessions aad waa eommitsed upon the indictment.

He obtained writ of bslxas corpus aad certiorari, returnable before Judge West-brook, whoi after a bearing, made an order discharging (leaner from imprieonment, under the warrant of the General Boston upon the indictment, and remanded him to custody under the nrarrant of the Police Justice, so that the latter should proceed with the examination before him. The main question involved waa whether the bringing in of nn indictment bv a Grand: Jury puts an end to the preliminary examination begun and in progress before a Police majlstrste, John firs ham, ths counsel for Gesner, insisted that by statute a poison accused of a crisi has a right to a preliminary examination, of which be cannot be deprived, except by his consent, -no matter whethOTunittdietmentiutervewesnrnoc, Chief -J astir Itovia. in writing the opinion of the court, holds that the Grand Jury ot the General Sessions had power bring in th indictment, aad whether the jury was or was not aware of the examination before a Police Justice does not impair or affect ha Jurisdiction. Again. If there were any question of irregularity the finding of the Indictment, tbat question belongs to the court where the indictment Is pending, snd cannot be pemed upon collaterally in a habeas corpus or other proceeding before any other court or officer.

Furthermore, the Legislature, in providing for the examination before a Police magistrate, intended to provide that no person should be held for trial by the arresting magistrate, excepting upon such an examination as the statute prescribes- There was no intention to' compel the magistrate to continue the examination after it main objects had been rendered nugatory by the presentment of: a Grand Jury against ths nccused for the same offense, to a higher tribunal clothed with power to try the guilt or innocence of the accused in the form prescribed by the Constitution and laws. By holding, otherwise, the Chief-Justice says it would bepoesible to prevent the finding of aa indictment for months. Such a system, he say. could bo used, snd ofbnt would operate to prevent rather than promote Jus-tire, and the action of Grand Juries would be thwarted oftener than aided by such preliminsry examinations." The proceedings are therefore reversed, snd Gesner remanded to custody under th bench warrant of the Court of General sessions. SECUEIh'G TRUST FUXDS.
