Witness thought it his duty to inquire into the matter, sod stay the Primmer, upon being asked about the bond, told witness that it was filled by a clerk in Limerick; that he paid for the filling it; that he bought the bond, and would g o w ith witness to the clerk's NNW. in Mr.Croker'scompany, but did not know the clerk's name. This witness alloyed the sale, placing keepers upon the property, till he became fully acquainted with the circum stance; Mr. Croker mounted one of witness's horses until he arrived at the avenue of his own demesne; When he disftmeated, and went to get one of his own hones, and followed witness and Prisoner to Limerick ; alter Mr. Cooker had left them the Prisoner told Intl.'s* that all be had said about fill tug up the hood by a clerk in Limerick .‘ was all a falsehood, re it was himself (Prisoner) that had filled it." This filled witness with indignation that a man respectable and in comfortable circumstances should be guilty of so foul a transaction;—witness then asked Prisoner if any one could give him any charecter ; the Prisoner declined giving an answer ; when they came to Limerick, they went to Bayer's • tiSce. -pyisioner and Mr. Croker; witness suggested to Neater to go to gaol till the following day, and :s+luch the Prisoner did voluntarily, in order to make inquiries of the witnesses who signed the bond ; wisisess had tics hand-writing to discharge the Ibri . suer from gaol ; witness then inquired as to the dealiogs that were between Prisoner and Magrath; Ise was assisted by Mr. Richard Shaughnessy and the parish Priest, and there appeared to be about 701. due to Prisoner. Magrath was formerly tenant 'to Neslon, whose interest Prisoner purchased, it hating chattel interest. Magrath then became tr uant to Prisoner; Prisoner could not find out the clerk's house in Limerick.

His Lordship said, Fitz gerald's absence wall much tote regretted. if the Prisoner was an innocent men, it was of the most serious disadvantage to his defence. He should, however, inflict a most serious line for his disre spect to the Court. His Lordship then rec-apitu lated the evidence circumstantially ; and concluded by exhorting the Jury, to give the matter their most serious investigation ; it was au awful duty imposed upon them ; if they had any doubt of the Prisoner's guilt, they would give him the full be nefit ; but, Gentlemen, you owe to society a serious obligation, and 1 trust you will discharge it; it is a most serious crime, and in this instance, never was there .• more flagrant care. Gentlemen, give it your most serious consideration, and I trust your verdict will be a fair one. The Prisoner was found Guilty, and was given to understand not to eatertoin hopes of mercy. IN THE COUNTY COURT. At two o'clock on S .toirdsy, Jeremiah Hannigan and William Connery were brought up for judge. ment, having been found guilty of forgery; also Patrick Minty and Patrick Adams were placed at the bar at the same time fur judgment, having been found guilty of taking fire-arms. liostragsa and Connery were foremost; the latter seemed extremely dejected, and appeared scarcely sufficient to sup port himself during the awful moment the Judge wss addressing. Hoursgan, oii the contrary, dis played a nerve and vigour that astonished the Court. His countenance end manner uuderwent no alters tion.—Tlie Coart was crowded, as the Prisoners were beyond the lower orders, which gave some im portance to the awful sentence oh int to be pro nouticed upon them. After being asked io the usual way, " Why sentence of death and execution should not be passed upon them ?" However said, "My Lord, I ask for a long day, to prepare myself for death, and to settle my family offairs ; and I declare in open Court, that I never put my hand to the pen which signed Magrath's twine." His Lord ship returned no reply, but addressed the prisoners: " Jeremiah Houragen and %VW. Connery, you have been found guilty of forgery, • crime, the commis sion and frequency of which, in this country, makes property insecure, and all dealings between mail and man unsafe. The law has annexed to that crime the awful punishment of death. lam sorry to say it has appeared on your trial that you are expe rienced delinquents. You, Connery, had escaped in one instance, but was found guilty In the second; end you, Hewers% also was found guilty of a sub sequent forgery. It is impossible for roe to bold out the slightest hope of mercy. Prepare, therefore, for death! Such time will be allowed you as I trust in God you will make • good use of—therefore, prepare yourselves for the awful punishment you are to undergo. Patrick Hanly and Petrick Adams, you are boil) young men, and you have been footed guilty of robbing and taking arms, and mast there fore be offered up as victims to the offended laws of the country. It has appeared that in eight parts of your Neighbourhood attacks were made for arms ; and it was proved also on your trial that they disclaimed the name of robbers, but gloried in that of White Boys. It is manif est, therefore, she object of taking anus is for u rebellious pur po.e ; some very dreadful object must be in view ; you are unfortunately deluded into the commission of these crimes by periodical attempts made on you by demagogues to ensnare the unfortunate peasantry of this county ; therefore the taking of o single gun must be for a rebellious purpose. Tire law has annexed to that crime the punish ment of death. In the hope that your exemplary said awful punishment may have a wholesome effect on the country. these are the expectations the law has in view. I cannot hold out the slight est expectations of mercy. Such time will be allowed you, as I trust in God you will make goof use of, that by penitence and prayer you will make atcuensent to your God. and draw down his mercy upon you.

After sentence was passed, Hoursgan threw open Lis hands, returned thanks to the Jury. acknow ledged the justice of his ssensenve, said implored the mercy and forg iveness of Heaver.; he appeared well dressed. and is a stout. healthy, well-looking man; the other prisoners did not utter • sentence.

LLD. PRA PRUIDENT TIC ZOTAL SOCIIITY, &C. (Fans w 78s Navy liaafkly Magazins."] • Sir Humphry Davy was born December 17, 1779, at Penance, in Cornwall. His family is assamst, and above the middle class ; his pates mil grimikinindfather had considerable landed property , in she parish of Budgwin, and his father possessed ta:paternal estate opposite St. Michael's , called Farrel, oo which he died in 1795, Baer having injured his fortune by expending con- Offerable moms in attemptiug agricultural improve vent.. Sir liumpliry received the first rudiments of his education at the grammar-schools of Pen mince and Truro ; at the former place he resided with Mr. John Tonkin, surgeon, a benevolent and intelligent man, who had been intimately connected with his maternal grandfather, and treated him with a degree of kindness little leas than parental. In 1804. he commenced his interesting course of lectures before the Board of Agriculture, which he continued for ten years. The dependance of agriculture upon chemical causer, had previously been noticed, but was first completely deinou abated in these lecture., which, at the mine time, conveyed much practical information. But so rapid were the discoveries of the smilior, the, in ',retire ing these discourses for publication • few y.urs afterwards, he was under the necessity of makilig several alterations, to adapt them to the improved state of chemical knowledge, which his own la bours had. in that short time, produced. In 1803 he was elected F.R.S., and, in 1805, a Member of the Royal Irish Academy. He had already acquired, by his talents and urbanity, the friendship of m st of the distinguished literary men and philosophers of the metropolis, and enume rated among his intimate friends the late venerable President of the Royal Society, the celebrated philosophers Cavendi-h. Hatchett, Wollaston, Bsbington, Children, Tennant, rod others equally eminent. At the same time he corresponded with the principal chemists of every part of Europe. Bring appointed in 1806 to deliver the Bakerian lecture of the Royal Society, he displayed some very interesting new agencies of electricity, by Means of the well-known galvanic approatus. Soon afterwards he made one of the most brilliant discoveries of modern time, in the decomposition of two fixed alkalies, which, in direct refutation of the hypothesis previously adopted, were found to consist of a peculiar metallic base united to a large quantity of oxygen. These alkalies were potash and sods, and the metals thus discovered were called potassium and sodium. Mr. Davy was equally successful in the application of galvanism to the decomposition of the eoliths. About this time lie became secretary of the Royal Society. lu 1808 Mr. Davy received a prize from the French Institute, as a tribute to his indisputable merit, from which even national enmity could not withhold the weed of admiration. lo mermaingr kir experivaentson the application of electricity to chemistry, and on the alkalies, phos phorus. sulphur, carbonaceous mutter, and the acids which had not been decomposed, he succeed ed in proving the simplicity of the oxyrnuriatic acid.' During the greater part of 1810 Mr. Davy I was employed on the combiostious of oxyniuriatic gas and oxygen, and their chemical rd aeons to in. flammable bodies; and his experiments were con firmed by those of several French chemists, and by Berzelius of Stockholm. But the inferences drawn by them from these experiments, differed in some instances from those deduced by Mr. Davy. The partisans of Lavoisier would not allow that oxygen is one of the principles of alkalies ; they denied the metallism of potash and soda as metallic oxides ; and maintained that they were simple bodies, which in combining with hydrogen formed hydro rent. Towards the latter end of 1810 Mr. Davy de livered a comae of lectures before the Dublin Societe, and in December received from the Provost and Senior Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, the honorary degree of LL.D. In the following year, although oe believe Mr. Davy made few discoveries of great public interest, there is reason to believe that he effected one of the greatest importance to his own happiness; and it may hilly be questioned whether the success of any of his former experiments gave him half the pleasure which he experienced on the first dawn of the hope that he had excited some interest in the bosom of his present amiable lady, then Mrs. Apreere, widow of Shuckburgh Ashby Aprerce, Esq. and daughter and heiress of the title Charles Kerr, of Kelso, Esq. By his union with this lady, in I'el2, Sir H. ucquired not may a considerable fur tune, but the inestimable treasure of an affectionate and exemplary wife, and a congenial friend and com panion, capable of appreciating his character and attainments. A few days previously to his mar riage, he received the honour of Knighthood from his Majesty. then' Piiiice Regent, being the first mammon whom he conferred that dignity. ' The researches *filch led to the invention of the safety-lamp for coal mines, which has been so viierally and successfully adopted throughout Surope, may justly be considered as the moat im portant of all Sir Ilumpliry Davy's labours, since they enabled him to provide the means of preserv log many valuable lives, and preventing horrible mutilations more dreadful .rem thou death. The frequency of such accidents, arising from the ex plosion of the fire-dsmpor inflammable gas of the coal mines, mixed with atmosplicricul sir, occasioned the formation of a Committee at Sunderland, fur the purpose of investigating the causes of these ca lamities, end of endeavouring to discover and apply a preventive. Sir fleinephry received an in. mason, in 1815, from Dr. Gray, spite of the Members of the Cionmittee ; w cons.quea.e whirls be wrist to the north of Englond, and visit ing some of the ptiocipal collieries in the neigh bourhood of Newcastle, soon roliviirced himself that no improvement could be made in the mode of ventilation, but that the tleeir.fil I,reiresitive must be sought its a new method of lighting the mime, free (rota &agar, and which, by indicuting the slate of the ass in she part of the c where infl 'mumble air was disengaged, so as to render the atmosphere explosive, should oblige the misters to retire till the workings were properly cleared. The common memo thou employed for lighting mines consisted of a steel wheel revolving in contact with flint, and afford. ing a successor's of sparks: but this apparatus ale ways reqoired 111 person to work it, mid was-not entirely free from danger. The Ere-damp was known to be light carhuretted hydrogen gas; bUt its relations to combustion had not been examined. It is chiefly produced from what are called blowers or fissures in the broken strata. near dykes. Sir Humphry made various experiments no its combus filially mid explosive nature; mid discovered that the fire damp requires a very strong heat fur its in flammation; that 'mate and carbonic acid, even in very small proportion', diminished the velocity of the inflammation ; that mixtures of the gas would not explode in metallic canals or trough., where their diameter was less than one seventh of an inch, and their depth considerable in proportion to their diameter ; and that explosions could not be made to vim through ouch c sisals, or through very floe wire sieves, or wire gauze. The consideration of the-se facts lest Sir Hurophry to adapt • lamp, in which the fl.mie, by being supplied with only a limited quantity of air, should produce such a quantity of azote and carbonic acid as to prevent the explosion of the fire-damp, and which, by the nature of its apertures for giving admittance and egress to the air, should he rendered incapable of communicating any explosion to the external air. These requisite, were found to be afforded by air. tight isiiteriis, of venous construction., supplied with air from tubes or camels of small diameter, or pla cedfrom apertures coveted wish wire gauz e , pla ced below the flame, through which explosions cannot be communicated ; and having • chimney at the upper part, for carrying of the foul air. Sir Humphry soma afterwards found that a constant flame might be kept up from the explosive mixture issuing from the apertures of • wire-gauze sieve. He introduced a very small lamp in a cylinder, made of wire-gauze. having six thousand four hundred apertures its the square inch. He closed all apertures except those of the gauze, and intro.. duced the lamp, burning brightly within the cylinder, into a large jar, containing several quarts of the most explosive mixture of gas from the distillation of coal and air; the dame of the wick immediately disappetre.l, or rather was lost, for the whole of the interior of the cylinder became filled with a feeble but steady flame of a green colour, which burnt for some minutes, till it had entirely destroyed the explosive power of the atmosphere. This discovery led to a most important improve. ment in the lamp, divested the fire-damp of all its terror., and applied its powers, formerly so dos structive, to the production of an useful light. Some minor improvement., originating in Sir Humphry'e researches into the nature of flame, were afterwards effected. Experiments of the most satisfactory nature were speedily made, and the in vention was soon generally adopted. Some attempts were made to dispute the honour of this discovery with its author, but his claims were coo. firmed by the investigations of tbe first philosophers of the age. The coal owners of the Tyne and Weer evinced their Deese of the benefits resulting from this invention, by presenting Sir Humphry with a service of plate worth two thousand pounds. In 1613, Sir Humphry was elecred a Corre sponding Member of the Institute of France, and Vice-President of the Royal Institution ; in 1817 one of the eight Associates of the Royal Academy; in 1818 created a lisremet ; and during the last ten years lie has been elected a member of most of the learned bodies of Europe. We regret that our limits preclude us from entering into the in terestiug details of Sir Humphry's travels in dil- Greta parts of Europe for scientific purposes, par ticularly to investigate the causes of volcanic phe nomena, to instruct the miners of the coal dis tricts in the application of his safety-lamp, and to examine the state of the Herculaneum manuscripts, and the remains of the chemical arts of the an cients. He analyzed the colours used in painting by the ancient Greek and Roman artists. His ex periments were chiefly made on the paintings in the baths of Titus, the ruins called the baths of Livia, arid in the remains of other palaces and baths of ancient Rome, and the ruins of Pompeii. By the kindness of pia friend Canova, who is charged with the care of the works connected with ancient art in Rome, lie was enabled to select with his own hand specimens of the different pigments that had been found in rases discovered in the excations, which had then been lately made be neath the ruins of the palace or Titus, and to com pare them with the colours fixed on the walls, or detached in fragments of stucco. His delicacy in selecting only minute portions of the colour, and from places where the loss was imperceptible, was so m o d: upproved, that Signor Nell,. proprietor of the celebrated Nozze A Idobratidini, liberally Ilef united lain to make similar experiments on the colours employed in that valuable antique painting. The results of these researches were published in the Transactions of the Royal Society fir 1815, and are highly interesting. The ams eluding observations, in which he impresses on ere tins the superior importance of permanency to brilliancy in the colours used in palming, are pare ticularly judicious, and worthy of attention. Towards the end of 1818, and in the beginning of 1819, he examined at Naples the Herculaneum manuscripts, and soon declared his opinion, that they had not been acted upon by fire so as to be completely cerbonized, but that their leaves were cemented together by • substance formed during the fermentation, and chemical change produced its a long count of years. Ile invented a composition far the diesolution of this suborner., but could not discover more than from 80 to 300 out of 1,465 manuscripts, whirls presented any pro. bability of success. On has return to England, in 1820, his respected friend, the late worthy Professor of the Royal Society, died. Many diocussious took plate amongst the members respecting. a proper sue ces.or. Several individuals of high, and even very exulted rank, were named as candidates ; but the scientific part of the Society justly considered this honour, the highest that • scientific sew rem attain in Britain, tint as • proper appendage to mere rank mid fortune, but as • reward fur scirivtific merit. Amongst the philosophers whose labours have enriched the Transactions of the Kuyul Society, two uric moat stein-rally adverted to, Sir Humphry Davy and Dr. Wollaston; but Dr. IVullostoo, whose modesty is only equalled by .his profound knowledge and extraordinary mealy, - I ' l' )1 1 :1 t '• ) of tht 1 :: :k t n l o ; , •./;;;;7 1 711 ... ...I p .• . ava r ; a...in i cwi ttim m ifi asu ;r e i d irli e:, l t e o l" ..

A trilliag opposition was made to Sir Humpbry Davy's elec tion; by some unknown persons. who propped Lord Colchesttt; but Sir Humphry was placed in the Choir bye majority of nearly 400 to 19. For this honour no man could be more completely qualified. Sir Humph►y is perfectly independent, and in circumstances which 'enable him to support liii office with dignity. He is acquainted with foreign languages, and extensively connected with fortis,' men of science. He possesses that general know ledge necessary for justly estimating all the (Jiff., - ent branches of science; and his reputation. in his own particular pursuits, is such as to place hint above all jealousy. The first President of • the Royal Society, Lord Brownlow, was a professed mathematician ; Sir Christopher Wren was a mathematician, a natural philosopher. and an architect ; of Newton, the glory of hie country and human nature, it would be difficult to say what he was not, but the strength of his genius was applied to natural philo sophy ; Sir Haus Sloane and Sir Joseph Banks were general benefactors to science, but their own portents were in natural history•. Chemistry may be considered as the science of this age. and it is but fair that it should have • representative memos the Presidents of the Royal Society ; nor can it be doubted that the dignity thus conferred on the science, in the person of its ablest Professor, will have a beneficial effect in stimulating the researches of other philosophers in this most important branch of knowledge. There is ample scope fur the most extensive genius and the most indefatigable lebours, which will never fail of obtaining their reward, though they may not succeed so entirely or so rapidly as the exertions of Sir Humphry Davy. Few of those whose fame and fortune ale their own creation, enjoy like him, in the meridian of life; the enviable consciousness of general esteem and respect, and the certainty of a distinguished place in history, among the illustrious names of their country.
