The aforth Literary and Sci— entific Society. . --.On Wednesday night, the Um- -inst., ,Ut tr - inst., th.e Seafgrth Literary and S ei- entitic Society held their . second mei. ting, at which them was a fd it attendance. Dr. Vereoe, who was appointed to read a paper on the Darwinian . Origin of . Species, not having his niaut script prepared, -in • ctinsequeace cf his time having been occupied with . unforseen duties,: to which it was_ necessary for him to ;attend, was etotupelled to rlel.irei his ideas on tide: subject extempore. Foe this, we in one - respect -regret, eeisrce- from !the Doctor's .intiaratii;,k'nottTl- •edge with the subject, and the great array y of facts he had at cont;ma id, the =discourse would .have been ex- •ceeclingly' interesting rand inssrilet- ive if it had been re+lraced to that' -logical method for which mane script is so well • adapted. , 1e, proceed, however, ta- gather awl arrange tate learned. Doctor's observations on'the subject-, which, under the circutn- stances alluded to,_ :he so oreditibly handled. The doctor observed in the course of his `aitress? that on looking over the -var'ied e enomena of nature we are apt•to suppose from our ignorance of natural laws and fi•orn our previous 'lm1rits of thought, that the physical -order -of the uni- verse is in the sante immutable con- dition it was in, 'when it . first pi c- caecded. from the elands Of creative fiat—that every ;physical object •of inanimated nature retained the sam e forms and co tela tionsuip to each other which bad been impartec*l to them on the ,in.orri ug of. creatiou. BUt how had-soienoe-stepped in and dispelled the illusion? . Astronomy has come to ,thin us that the.stars that twinkleiin the purple bosom of night, andi.the Solar Systeni,•includ- ing the earth itself, were but', in a stage of progressive development frotn( the 'vapor , neb'.ilae that , stud the i great ocean o_f space, just as when the boatman being is passing throe gh the 's arious stages from in- fancy to manhood. Geoogy has dis-. closed to us the fact tht t the hills,, the. valleys, ; rand the rooky crt4st 9f1 the earth on which we tread, with its seas, lakes .and streams have not the Same permanent forms and are not in, the same permanent relation- ship to each other :which they held when the material. universe *as fit-st ushered into being ,• but that the crust of our globe is like' an extcin= .sive block% of masonety that has i been built up by the silent opera - .tion of natural law, and that the :same law has lifted the mountain tops into the atmosphere, drawn the -streams into their channels and poi f- •ed the seas into their basins. If • the gradual operation of natural la,v through successive ages ot time is; appealed to as the cause of the ' es- •ent and pest' condition -of ian'irr at •ed, nature, where .was the Wgic, the doctor argued, in excluding animat- ed ed beings from the dominion of the same lav 7 Nay,. sioce it Avr4 now .even admitted,.still, argued the docL tor, that the 'nim:al ;and vegetable worlds, .•as regarded their ph ysologi- (cal and menta phenomena and the •exter,' al conditions which surroun'1- ,ed there, were strictly under• the do- ,minior of natural law, where was the logic in exclriding the advent - and. e.letinction . and the co -relation- ship of species of animal and vege •table life from the realm of the sante ;laws 7' ' If natural ' laws was' the ipowere which had bound together -the-great -volune of , the rocks and sta raped on its - pages the history of • living being , • we surely. were not transgressing -- the -requirements of • strict logical= inch ction. in assigning - the slate natural law as the cause which had linked those beings in the chain of existence._ If the mi- raculous efforts of creative fiat were to be resorued too, as a satisfactory ; explanation of : every phenomenon whose natural cause was removed beyond our -immediate knowledge,. thele was an end of all F;cientific re- search.. Now, what are the pheno- mena. which the two great king- doms of animated nature presented to our observation'? Tt was that -the -different divisions and species of ani- mal and vegetable life were so inter-_ linked in the form of function of their parts that the different cata- gorier under which naturalists have ranged them, are purely convential.- al. - The classification framed by one naturalist have been obliterated oy the discoveries of his successor; -and when the gaps in the chain of orga- nized existence have been so great as to set aside for a time the idea of natural relationship, subsequent di..-; coveries of geologists have gone to re-establish the lost links. • Nowt then arises the question r. flow has the • advent and the extinction of species and their interlinking ;with ' each other in the form and functions of their parts to be explained) on the supposition of an exercise of separ- ative create fiats for every individu- al species ? - Such. an idea Trould imply an incessant exercise of creature power in contradistinction to natural -law in order to have pro- duced or caped into being out of the rude elements of nature, the infinite) • links in the chain of organized exist - '1, ence.
