ELECTRaGALVANISM. -4".-- CARMISTRY. I L. Neer and 'arresting Experiments of Professor Damelrma, of Jena. These Exiterirvents were first annonnced in this coun vy in the follms ing Notice by M. FARADAY, which aP reared in the 31.. t Number of the Quarterly Journal: A most extraordinary experiment has been mide by M. Dcebereiner. It was communiAted to me by ilarchette, and having verified it, I think every chemist will be glad to hear its nature. It consists in passing a stream of hydrogen against the finely-divided platina obtained by heating the muriate of ammonia and pla ti=.a. In consequence of the contact, the hydrogen in flames. Even when the hydrogen does not inflame, it ignites the platina in places; and I find that when the' hydrogen is pas ed over the platinum in a tube, no air bein = admitted, still the , ladnum heats in the same manner. What the change can be in these circumstances, M: Dceiereiner has, no doubt, fully investigated; and the Nevific world will be anxious to hear his account of th;s emu kable experiment and the consequences it leads F." In the last Number of the Asenales de Chiwie, there appears the follow/in& Note by MM. Dutono and Tax- NA En, 1 ehting to this subject, which was read at the Acad..mv of Sciences on the 15th of September: " M DceNereiner, Professor of the University of Jena, has just liscovered one of the most curious phenomena , which the physical sciences can present. We are ac quainted with the researches which he has made on tbis subject, only by the announcement which appeared in the Journal des Debats of the 24th of August last, and which is scarcely adapted to give an exact idea of it ; and by a letter from M. Kastner to Dr. Liebig, which this gentleman, now at Paris, has had the goodness to communicate to us. It thence appears that M. Dcebe reiner has observed that platinum in the spongy state, causes. at the ordinary temperature, the combination of hydrogen with oxygen, a n d t h a t the developement of heat resulting from this action renders the metal inean. descent. We hastened to verify a fact so surprising. We have found it yet y exact; and as the experiment can be made with the greatest ease, we are about to perform it in the presence ..1 the Academy*. " Having no knowledge of the researches which the author of this beautiful experiment has no doubt under taken in orJer to discover its theory,i. we could not resist the desire of ourselves making some attempts directed towards this ol,ject ; and although we have not yet at tained. it, we think that the results of the observations which wt: have hitherto made arenot unworthy of the attention of ;.:te Academy. " In ii t experiment which we have been making, the spongy platinum becomes incandescent at the time when iris placed it the spot where the hydrogen which issues from the rose: voir is become intimately mixed with the. air. From this it was evident, that a small quantity of this platinum being plunged in a mixture of two parts of hydrogen and r .e part nf oxygen, there ought to be a detonation; which the experiment confirmed. If the proportior,s of ti t gaseous mixture deviate much from those of water, or if there be pt csent a gas foreign to the combination, as for example, azote, the combination goes on slowly, the temperature rises little, and water soon appears co:idensing on the vessel. Platinum in the spongy state strongly calcined, loses the property of be cornini incandescent; but in this case it causes the com bination of the two gases slowly and without a very sett , title t Rising of the temperature. The finely-divided pliaitia obtained by a well•known chemical process, has no action, not even the slowest, at the ordinary tempe rature. The result with wires or lamina; is the same. 'the comparison of these observations might give rise to the idea that the porousness of the metal was an es sential condition of the phenomenon: but the following facts destroy this conjecture. " We caused some platinum to be reduced into leaves a$ thin as the malleability of this metal admits of. In this state platinum acts, at the ordinary temperature, on the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, and with a rapidity proportioned to the tenuity of the leaf. We obtained some that caused detonation after some mo ments. But what renders this action still more extraor dinary, is the physical state indispensable for its deve lopment. A very thin leaf of platinum, rolled round a cylinder of glass or suspended freely in a detonating mixture, produced no sensible effect at the end of seve ral days. The s tme leaf crumpled like the wadding of a gun, acted instantly, and made the mixture detonate. " Leaves prepared as we have just mentioned, and which ate then without effect at an ordinary tempera ture, wires, powder, and thick plates of platinum, whose action is always null, in the same circumstance, act slowly and without producing explosion at a temperature of from 400 to 572 deg. F. according to their thickness. " We have observed that some other metals possess the same property as platinum. the very remarkable fact which Sir H. Davy discovered in the course of his researches on the safety-lamp, namely, that wires of platinum and palladium heated to a dull red become incandescent when plunged in a detonating miatum, baying appeared to us referable to the same cause with the phenomenon in question, we were immediately led to try palladium. " The piece which we employed had been given to one of us by Dr. Wollaston ; it must have been fro* from alloy ; we were not able, however, to obtain very, thin leaves from it; it shattered under the hammer of the beater. To this circumstance we attribute its inac tion at the temperature or the atmosphere : however, it acts at least as well as platinum, of the same thickness, at an elevated temperature. Rhodium, being brittle, could not be subjected to the same operation ; but it caused the formation of water at a temperature of about VA' deg. F, " Gold and silver-in thin leaves act only at hi*h tem peratures, but always under that of the ebullition of mercury. Silver is less efficacious than gold. A thick lamina of the latter does indeed act, though with more difficulty than the leaves ; and a thick lamina of silver has an action so weak as to be doubtful. " We have also tried if other combinations could be effected by the same means. Carbonic oxide and oxy .4 • The hydrogen gas lamp improved by ?4. Gay-Lussac is very convenient for making this experiment. The electrophorus id raised, or the conductors merely are detached • a very slight morsel of pla tinum in the spongy state is placed at th e db,tance of about two centi metres From the opening by which the gas escapes, and as the cock is tamed the stream of hydrogen gas falls mixed with air on the surface of the platinum. This becomes forthwith incandeecent, and the by-. drogen gas, once inflamed, keeps burning as it flows out, as If it had been lit by the spark. " In default of a lamp, the common apparatus may be employed which is used in laboratories for obtaining hydrogen gas. It is only necessary to take care that the gas be let out by a very small open ing, in order that it may mix more completely with the air. t The Author's Paper on this subject was published in *Usk. gees Nara JOUPPIaI fur Mini.; and shall be given la our am, or as nos as we as lad room. gee combine, and nitrous gas is decomposed 11 hydro gen at the common temperature by contact with plati num in the spongy state. The fine leaves of the same metal do not produce the combustion of the first-men tioned gas; except at a temperature above 5/2 deg. F. Gold leaf causes it also at a degree near the boiling of mercury. h Finally, olefiant gas mixed with a suitable quantity of oxygen, is completely transformed into water and carbonic acid by platinum in the spongy state, but only at a temperature of more than 572 deg. F. " We would call to mind on the subject of the pre ceding experiments, that one of us shewed, long since, that iron, copper, gold, silver, and platinum, had the property of decomposing ammonia at a certain tempe rature, without absorbing either of the principles of that alkali I and that this property appeared inexhausti- 1 ble. Iron possesses it in a higher degree than copper, and copper more than silver, gold, and platinum, in proportion to the surfaces. " Ten grammes of iron wire are sufficient for decom posing/within a few hundredths, a current of ammo niacal gas rather rapid, and kept up for eight or ten hours, without the temperature passing the limit at niiich the ammonia completely resists decomposition. Thrice that quantity of platinum wire of the same thickness, doei not produce nearly a like effect even at a higher temperature. " The remarkable results of this experiment depend, perhaps, on the same causes as those which snake gold and silver effect the combination of hydrogen my, ozy gen at 6,2 deg. F. solid platinum at 518 deg. r. and spongy platinum at the ordinary temperature. " Now, if we observe that iron, which so well decom poses Ammonia, does not effect, or but with difficulty, the combination of hydrogen with oxygen, and that platinum, which is so effective for this latter combina tion, produces but with difficulty the decomposition of ammonia, we are led to believe that among the gases some have a, tendency to unite under the influence of the metals, while others have a tendency to separate; and that this property varies according to the nature of each. Those of the metals which would best produce the one effect would not produce the other, or but in a less degree. " We shall abstain from offering some further con jectures to which these singular phenomena give rise in our minds, until we shall have terminated the uperi ments which we have undertakenin order to verify them. " —Philosophical Mag. MILLBANIiE PENITEWriARY. !ROM VIZ LONDON MEDICAL RitPOSITORY. We have just now received the Report from the Se lect Committee on the State of the Penitentiary at Millbank, with the Minutes of Evidence given before the Committee of the House of Commons, and at pre sent we would merely direct attention to the various points of interest which it presents. The first object which will engage the attention of the medical reader is the nature of the disease which appeared amongst the prisoners confined in that place. Whatever difference of opinion existed amongst those whose eviclence,ap pears in the Report, we think that there canistot be much amongst those who will take a comprehensive and an unprejudiced view of the subject. We pray re- , gret that the opposing opinions of men of eminence in the Profession should go abroad in the community in a manner u hich cannot tend to elevate the medical cha-' i racter, or to impress the Public generally with any fa'-, vourable idea of our science or of our professional ethics. We are sorry that a most able and deserving individual, who has served his country for many years in one of the most responsible offices attached to his profession, and who, moreover, has had extensive experience kit the dis-, ease which prevailed in the Penitentiary, should have been deprived, from the commencement of its preva lence, of any management of the disorder, and subse. quently of his office, particularly as the treatment ' which he recommended appears, from' the evidence of the most experienced witnesses, to have been the best which could have been adopted in the disease. We Cannot, indeed, refrain from concluding, from the evi dence contained in the Report, that Mr. Hutchison has been very, and most undeservedly, ill-treated by the leading members of the Committee of the Penitentiary. He has not, and indeed cannot, as far as this business is concerned, suffer in the eyes of the Profession: on the contrary, we think that, as an eminent and deserving brother, who has unjustly suffered, he will find protec tion there. ANECDOTE OF LOUIS XVI. TROUT THE LITERARY GAZETTE. The following anecdote of Louis XVI. is in the second volume of Barbier's Dictionary of Publications, which have been either anonymous, or to which fictitious names have been prefixed : The third literary undertaking of Louis XVI. was a translation of Gibbon's Decline awl Fall of the Roman Empire. After having completed five volumes, the DAtiphin (which he then wu), not wishing to be known, enjoined M. le Clerc de Sept-Chenes, his private reader, to get them printed in his own name. M. le (3erc de Sept-Chutes having requested M. le Garde-des.sceaux to ap point a censor for the work, it was sent to the Abbe Aubert, who readied it with marked and distinguished approval. About two years,afterwirds, M. le Comte de Vergennes, the Minister for Fo reign Affairs, inquired for the censor of the work. The Abbe Au bert accordingly waited on the Minister, who, presenting him with a copy bound in red morocco and gilt en the edges, said—" I atn, desired by the translator to give you this copy, and to thank you for the trouble which you took in examining his translation, and for the approbation which you bestowed upon it." On the center's observing that M. le Clete de Sept-Chenes might have dispensed with so magnificent a binding, M. de Vergennes added—" It is the, Dauphin who is the real translator, and who commissioned me to make you this present."'—Of various anagrams contained in the above-mentioned publication, one on Voltaire is curious, and calm. lated to produce much difference of opinion-r" 0 elle sir."

At a General Court Martial held at Corfu on the 27th May, 1823, and continued by adjournments to the 31st of the same month, Quartermaster REYNOLDS, of the 28th Regiment was arraignid upon the undermentioned charge: viz. • For conduct derogatory to the character of an °dicer, highly kregular in his responsible situation of Quartermaster, and injurious to the interests of the Service, in having procured from different tradesmen, soldiers' necessaries : and other articles to the amount of 1645 lei. ld. er thereabouts • and in not having liquidated the debts thus contracted, or settled with the respective tradesmen for the articles furnished him, although he the said Quartermaster Rey nolds has long disposed of the greater part of th e articles se pro cured by him." Upon which charges the Court came to the following decision : "'The Court, after the most attentive consideration of the whole of the proceedings on this Trial, is of opinion, that the prisoner, Quartermaster Reynolds, Stith Regiment, is guilty of the Charge on which he has been arraigned, in breach of the Articles of War, and does therefore sentence him to be dismissed his Majesty's service. —But it does appear by these proceedings that Quartermaster Reynolds bas suffered considerable losses, and hap been grossly de ceived by a person to whom he entrusted several sums of money, which, had be not so lost, might have enabled him to have liqui dated a great part of the claims against him ; in consideration of this, and further, of his services of forty-six years, and a wife and. family depending on him for subsistence, the Court does moat hum bly recommend him to the gracious consideration of his Majesty." His MAJESTY has been pleased to approve and con firm the finding and sentence of the Court. But in consequence of the very strong recommendation of the prisoner, his Mugs?: has been induced so far to ez tend his gracious clemency to the prisoner, as to-coin. mand that he, Quartermaster RzyunLos,shall be placed upon Half-pay: Hine Guards, Oct. 10. At a General Court Martial, held in Dublin on the 13th of August, 1823, and continued by adjournments to the 15th of the same month, Paymaster WILLIAM PHILLIPS, of the 40th Regiment, was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges ; viz. " Ist. For having erabeszled or fraudulently misapplied monies entrysted him for the Public service, by withholding k and detaining in his hands the sum or balance of 2595 16s. ll id. or thereabouts, appearing to be due by him on the foot of his accounts, as Pay manor of the 40th Regiment, with the Commissioners of Military Accounts, from a period commenting on the 1.5 t& of November, 1820, and ending en the 94th March, 1822." " 2d. For having embezzled or fraudulently misapplied several sums of money entrusted to him for the public service, as Pay mager of the 40th Regiment, from a period commencing on the 25th December, 1821, and ending on the 24th April, 1822, leaving at that time an unsettled balance on the foot of his accounts with Messrs. Armit, Borough, and Co. Agents to the 40th Regiment, amounting to the sum of 21,489 10s. 411. or thereabouts." Upon which charges the Court came to the follow ing decision " The Court having deliberately considered the evidence pro duced clothe part of the prosecution, as alio the plea of confession put in by the prisoner to each of the chargei exhibited against him, is of opinion that the prisoner, Paymaster Phillips, of the 40th Re giment, is guilty of the first charge. " With respect to the second charge, the Court is of opinipn, that the prisoner is guilty of having embezzled, or fraudulently misap plied several sums of money, entrusted to him for the public service as Paymaster of the 40th Regiment, from a period commencing on the 35th December, 1821, and ending on the 2401 April, 1822, leav ing at that time an unsettled balance on the foot of his accounts With Messrs. Arndt, Borough, and Co. Arms to the 40th Regi ment, amounting to the suns of £1404. Os. 51d. " The Court having thus found the prisoner guilty on both charges preferred agidnst him, do sentence and adjudge him, the said prisouer, Paymaster Phillips, of the 40th Regiment, to be dis missed his Majesty's service, and rendered incapable of ever serv ing his Majesty again in any capacity, civil or military, and that he do snake good the sum of public money so embezzled and fraudu lently misapplied by him, amounting to the sum of 21,997. 17e...1.1." His MAJIIBTY has been pleased to approve the find ing and sentence of 'the Court, but in consideration oil the facts disclosed tei the Court in a statement made by the prisoner, as to his former services, and tending to shew that the defalcation in his accounts was caused in some measure by untoward circumstances, and that he was not chargeable with wilful and gross neglect, much less with malversation in his of f ice of Paymaster ; and also in consideration of the opinion which appears to have been entertained of him by some distinguished Officers in his Majesty's service, his MAJESTY has been further pleased so far to extend his gracious clemency to the pi isoner, as to direct, that he Paymaster WILLIAM PHILLIPS shall be placed upon half-pay.
