Third edition, with ad anions ;, elegantly printed in one volume, with plates. 7s. in boarcis.- We regret that we have not had an opportunity of instrting the series .of Le6tures 'which Mr. DAvt has delivered . at this place, as his discoveries areirtf. portant in themselves, - and rioriveyed in clear- and elegant language. On Saturday he gave a :wailer develupement of the agency of the:electrical energy of the Voltaic Pile. All bodies that are - differently expansible by heat art 'decomposed by its Energy._ This was shewn in a variety of experments with a series or two thousand plates. A glass.globe was filled. with suiphurated hydrogen gas, and exposed to its action ; a tuost" brilliant light was prodUced, and the' sulphur was deposited on the sides of the vessels. Iron pyrites was instantly decomposed by it, and also a variety of fluid and solid snbtances. Mr. Davy observed, that it had been lately asserted, that charcoahhad been fused and converted into dia mond; this he believed was mis..atea t - le had fused, charcoal by the Volatic Pile, and obtained . a substance so hard that it would scratch glass ; but it differed in many of its properties front a'dia mond, and remained a conductor of electricity. Two points of hard chatcoat were brought nearly into contad in a•vessel of chlorine (or oxyinuriatic) gas (which has no aEtion tapon charcoal). Mr. Davy said, when they wete acted upon by the pile, pro bably they•might be fused by it,. brut they were 'en-, tirely reduced to vapour at the end Of the experi ments. • He‘observed, that a Voltaic Pile might be constructed with plates of one metal only„ by tntei posing different fluids, for which it had .a strong chemical attraction, separating them by a cloth moistened with pure water. Tims, one plate of copper, a Cloth moistened with a solution of sul phuret of lime, then a cloth moistened by water, oh, which is to be.laid another cloth steeped in nitrous acid, and on this a second plate of co;"per, until a series 01 fifty plates is accumulated, will give a per ceptible shock. Mr. Davy observed, that his opinions. respeCting cheMical and electrical agency had sometimes been inaccurately stated he was 'ThC:iiied to. consider them as the •same power , acting on matter in the mass in one instance, and on its particles in the other. Bodies that have a strong chemical artrac.. lion for each other are in different states of elettri. city or polarity. It is found,, however, that title .powerful chemical attraCtion may be counteracted by changing the electrical polarity of different sub stances. By this means an acid May pass unchang ed through an alk time solution, and an alkaline so lution may pass equally unchanged through an acid. Mr. Davy stated Use circumstances which induced him to wake those exPerittents that led to tile dis covery of the metallic nature of alkalies and -earths. He observed, that without the discovery of the vol taic pile, chemistry must have been at a stand. It furnishes us with the Most powerful instrument of chetnical decumphiition that has ever been invented, the heat produced by it exceeding that whirar cal: be produced by any other means ; and it vtas not improbable, .he added, that in the pi - ogress wi,ich science would make,- sane Means wouht be (Eget,- ve t ed of applying. it tothe useful arts. Nor di : l he think it unreason3'&e to believe, that at t fi.i3l elec tricity on a large scale, might also be employ( d to - Many valuable put poses: Mr. Davy took a iap • view of the scient - :tie discoveries - which had served to increase the power of man ; and, he concluded with a roost eloquent and delightful anti c ip a tk n of the future advantages oe, ITI6V exiect to derive' lion] a more puled, acqqaintauce with the laws
