E Y; S FROII I S 4 I U R I JAMES TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE LONDON MEDICAL SOCIETY. Gentlemen, —ln April last your enlightened Society hmeured me by a vote of thanks for my discovery of the pro cesses for preparing and concentrating Fluid Magnesia, and separating from it Gypsum, Lime, Silicia, and other impurities, which abound in common and Calcined Magnesia. Although these processes required thirty years' attention, and immense expense, to reach perfection, yet certain retail drug gists, and others, suddenly substitute imitations of their own, without any experience or knowledge of my recent improve ments. As such substitutions are calculated to bring the name of Fluid Magnesia into disrepute, I feel it a duty to my profession and the public to sustain the merits and credit of the genuine concentrated solution. I return you thanks, Gentlemen, for assisting my efforts in establishing this elegant preparation, and I request you to name " Murray's Fluid Magnesia" in your prescriptions, and to order it from the authorized agents, to avoid the dangerous risk of adulteration. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, JAMES MURRAY, M.D. Sold by Savory and Moore, Bond-street, Regent-street ; Gifford, 104, Strand ; Wright, Gloucester -place; Woolling, 35 , Piccadilly ; Ancell and Elam, 196, Oxford-street ; Stamper, Leadenhall-street ; Sanger, 150, Oxford-street ; Johnston, 68, Cornhill ; and wholesale (only) at 33, Piccadilly, and all the wholesale houses. 96 , CHEAPSIDE, AND 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY.

At a Meeting of the Committee of this Society, held on Friday, the 30th of August, 1839. WILLIAAI ALLEN, Esq., in the Chair, It was unanimously resolved —That this Committee have heard with deep regret and alarm of the recent decisions of the Jamaica Courts appointed for the administration of justice, by which the Rev. Mr. Stanisley, a clergyman of the Church of England, Messrs. Edmund 13, Lyon and Daniel W. Kelly, Esqrs., Stipendiary Magistrates, and Mr. John Castello, the Editor of a newspaper, well known for their honest and uncom promising support of the rights of the labouring classes, have had verdicts found against them in different actions, which will involve them in great pecuniary loss if not ruin, while the Rev. W. Knibb, a Missionary, has been nonsuited in an at tempt to obtain redress against the malignant and libellous attacks of the pro-Slavery Press. These verdicts have been found by Juries composed of a class of men who have uniformly opposed the emancipation of the Slave, and evinced the bitterest feelings of hostility towards the advocates of freedom. This Committee, while they earnestly appeal to the Govern ment to take immediate steps to secure redress to the injured parties, and to prevent a repetition of similar evils by the Co lonial tribunals, notorious tor the glaring injustice of their de cisions, strongly recommend to the sympathy of the British public, these friends of the oppressed, under the severe perse cution to which they are subjected. Signed by order and on behalf of the Committee, W. ALLEN, Chairman.

Tne Education of the Hawl, for the various purposes to which writing is applied, may, with ease And certainty, be acquired in the most complete and satisfactory manner, at the STRAND INSTITUTION, FOR THE PROMOTION OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE." Mr. LEWIS, the SOLE INVENTOR of the NEW PROCESS of WRITING, engages to transform any scrawl, however bad, into a free and beautiful style (by a most inte resting and permanent operation, in a few days. So great has been the success of the Lewisian system, and so infallible are the principles on which it is founded, that if the public will but second Mr. L.'s endeavours, by a continuance of their pre sent liberal patronage, scarcely a bad hand shall, in a few years, be found in London. Those whose hands have Leen LEWIS-IZED cannot, by any possibility, relapse into their former bad habits. SHORT-HAND, as the Reporters write it.

ROBINS r es p ec tf u lly announces that he is instructed either to SELL or to EXCHANGE A FINE PROPERTY IN THE MOST : FERTILE PART OF SCOTLAND. The value approaches THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS, The Mansion is of recent creation, OF THE PURE ELIZABETHAN ORDER, adorned by plate glass windows throughout, and it will be perceived that great judgment presided over its completion. The accommo dation is fully equal to all the legitimate wants of a Nobleman or Family of pretensions, without being in the dilemma too often complained of, being inconveniently large, consequently requiring an expensive establishment. The interior is fitted up in taste, cor responding with its Elizabethan structure. Hot and cold baths, commodites, &e. It is happily placed on high ground IN THE CENTRE ON A FINELY WOODED PARK OF EIGHTY ACRES, and commanding extended and interesting scenery TERMINATED BY THE GERMAN OCEAN. In the gardens are hot and succession houses, a Lodge of pretty Design, and a Courtyard, forming a Quadrangle, is in keeping with the architectural form of the Man.•ion. THERE ARE PLENTY OF STALLS AND COACH.HOUSES, and all essential out.door appendages; in fact, throughout Scot land it would be very difficult to find a more oelightful purchase. THERE ARE ALTOGETHER FIVE HUNDRED ACRES let to a respectable tenantry. It may be sold A GREAT BARGAIN, or exchanged with an estate of equal value in Ireland. Particulars will be given to principals only, by applying to Mt George Robins, Covent.garden. 1N DEVON, APPROACHING THE MARKET TOWN OF TAVISTOCK. AN EXCELLENT MODERN RESIDENCE, WITH PRO. DUCTIVE GARDENS, ORCHARD, PLANTATIONS, AND MEADOWS, ALTOGETHER 17 ACRES. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, Lomlon, 'on THURS DAY, the 26th of September, at Twelve o'clock, AN ELEGANT AND EXCEEDINGLY COMMODIOUS MANSION of recent creation, and finished in conformity with the present style; it is of the Doric order of architecture, and the Facade is admired .or its bold proportions ; it is not too large, but full of comfort, and the offices both within and without are of a corresponding character. The Kitchen Gardens are extensive, walled round, and very pro. ductive. The Flower Gardens and Pleasure Grounds display con siderable taste, with luxuriant plantation walks, which form a belt to the whole. Connected with this enviable property are SEVENTEEN ACRES OF CAPITAL MEADOW, :he soil yielding the earliest and the richest produce for the Dairy, TAVISTOCK IS WITHIN ONE SHORT MILE, is a capital Market, with a first-rate public Library, and within a short drive of THE DUCHESS OF BEDFORD'S CHATEAU. In this little Purchase will be found the rare agremens of more of gaiety and of privacy combined (that is if it be desired) than is usually attendant on country life. The scenery is everywhere most beautiful and of great extent. This rural seat is happily placed on the borders of a quiet vale, encircled by smiling hills and adorned by luxuriant foliage, which overshadow the evergreen walks—the lawn resplendent in cedar and chesnut trees. The lofty Torrs of Dartmoor Are in view, and in the Forest will be found never-ceas ing temptation to the Angler and the Sportsman. The river Towy meanders, and forms the southern boundary to the rich meadows, with good trout-fishing. There are several Packs of Hounds hunt the neighbourhood, and ANNUAL PUBLIC RACES. contribute not a little to add gaiety to the usual quietude of this vicinity.

N DORSETSHIRE, BETWEEN WAREHAM AND POOLE A CAPITAL VILLA RESIDENCE, NEAR THE SEA, EXTENSWE GARDENS, AND A DOMAIN OF ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN ACRES AROUND IT. MR. GEORGE ROBINS will SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 26th of September, at Twelve. A FREEHOLD ESTATE of considerable pretensions; it embraces A CAPITAL VILLA EDIFICE, erected three years since of stone and white brick, and covered with Italian tiles, presenting altogether a most refreshing contrast to the new light of the modern school. Substantiality is visible within and without, and the whole is completed, in good taste, with Memel and Baltic timber. The hall and staircase are of stone and oak, the landing arched and fire-proof. The accommodation throughout the abode is perfect, including on the upper floor four large bedrooms and a smaller ditto. First floor, two excellent bedchambers, 16ft. 61n. by 15R. 6in., and 17ft. by 16ft. Sin. ; three smaller ditto, a dres sing room and commodite on the ground floor, a drawing.room, 23ft. by 16ft-; dining-room, 25ft. by 16ft.; breakfast parlour, 16ft. by I 4ft ; a library; FIRE PROOF Stone Entrance Hall, principal and se. condary staircases, store room, capital kitchen, 18ft. by 16ft. and 12ft. high ; bake and brew-houses, lobby, coal house, pantry, ser. vants' ditto, capital cellaring, courtyard, with a well of excellent water, and enclosed by folding gates. The out offices are excellent, and fully adequate (the coaeh.houses and stables not yet completed). There is a pew in the parish Church, and SALT WATER PLUNGING BATH on the Bay, 42 chains only from the House, with dressing-room and every comfort. THE AMERICAN AND PLEASURE GARDEITS are well placed, and nearly encircled by luxuriant plantations and hanging woods, with A DOMAIN EXTENDING TO ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN ACRES. The soil has a substratum of loam. Chalk is in great abundance close at hand, and the land is altogether convertible. The wheat and turnip crops of this season will best demonstrate this fact. The Corn-lands were inclosed sixteen years ago, and therefore not charged to the land.tax ; the tithes commuted at less than 51., and THE POOR.RATES ALMOST NOMINAL. The taxes, including King's, Church, and Poor.rates, are under 2s. 6d. in the pound. The seaweed is a famous auxiliary in lieu of manure, 300 loads were thrown on shore during the last month. Fresh spring water is in great abundance. The farm buildings are erected of white brick and sto.le, and covered with thatch. From this comfortable abode is presented A SPLENDID AND EXTENSIVE PANORAMIC VIEW claiming within its reach all the little lions of the county, com mencing with Lytchet and Wareham Bays, and the Channel between the bold rocky points of Rocklev and Holton. The Isle of Purbeck forming the back ground to this incomparable land scape, Lullworth and the NOBLE RUINS OF CORFE CASTLE, with villages dotted about, and the churches of St. Paul and St. James's, fill up the intermediate space. There are lots of Islands to vary and adorn the scene, and the open Channel to complete the picture. There is a post at 9 daily. Coaches to Southampton and Weymouth fuquently, and to London two or three times a. day. Poole is only 2i miles of. The sea fishing and wild-fowl shooting is excellent. There are three packs of foxhounds hunt the neighbourhood. The county of Dorset (it may be re marked) is purely agricultural ; it has no annoyance arising from manufactures or coal mines. Such is a moderate outline of this de sirable property, unadorned by the slightest colouring, and it may be immediately occupied so as to partake of the delight of the pre. sent fine season.

WzND....--The Orpheus, Capt. Bailey, one of the fastest sailing packets between Liverpool and New York, arrived on Tuesday last, having left the United States on the Ist August with the Great Western and British Queen steamers. The Independence, Capt. Nye, sailed on the 7th and reached Liverpool yesterday, the 28th. The steamers have therefore, had considerably the advantage of the sailing packets on the last trip home ward. The Great Western effected the passage in twelve days and a half ; the British Queen in fourteen days ; the Orpheus in twenty-six days ; and the independence in twenty-one days—the balance in favour of the Great Western over the Orpheus being thirteen days and a half —and over the Independence eight days and a half ; and in favour of the British Queen over the Orpheus twelve days, and over the Independence seven days. It should, however, be remembered that Liverpool is one day's sailing or half a day's steaming further from New York than Bristol.—Liverpool Mail. Too HOT TO LAST !—lt may be necessary to tell our English friends, that although the thermometer stands this day at ninety-six in the shade, it is too hot to last. In four more weeks the weather will be delightful. We met a gentleman yesterday who came out passenger in the British Queen, when the following conversation ensued :—" You have not left the city?"—" No; but I'd' like to have melted out of my skin yesterday." " When do y ou leave?"—" To-morrow." " For Canada?"— " No." " For the far springs ?"—" No." " For the far West ?"—" No." " For the South ?"—" My God no." " Where then?"—" Back to England." "So soon ?"—" Soon I Good Heavens I what would you have? I've been here but three days, and I've lost fifteen pounds by perspiration. If I stay much longer I'll fall through the left leg of my breeches." The present weather is too hot to last.—Americanpaper. One day last week a soldier of the garrison at Grenoble, having more cartridges given out to him than his cartouche-box would contain, put some of them into his shako. By some accident not satisfactorily accounted for, the temporary magazine at the top of his head caught fire, exploded, carried the shako at least 30 feet into the air, and deprived the man of his hair and whiskers, but fortunately did him no other injury (!) The Government emigrant ship Florist, which sailed from Gravesend for Sydney on the 18th of June last, with emigrants from Kent and Sussex, has been heard of in lat 11.55 north, long. 24,30, date 22d of July. She had made a prosperous passage, and the emigrants were all in excellent health and spirits. This is the first of the Government vessels of which there has been an opportunity to have any accounts since various extensive alterations in 1839 into the nature of the arrangements on board of them. r n FALLING STARS knltESLAW.)—Statement of the great fall of stars in the night of the 10th of August, 1839:—" Thu sky has been again particularly propitious for observing another fall of stars. On many days and nights preceding the 10th the heavens had been so covered that we could not observe when the uncommonly fre quent fall of stars commenced. On the 10th of August, however, our hopes of seeing the phenomena increased 4 owing to the clearness of the weather, and we were perfectly satisfied towards night time. Already as early as dusk, an extraordinary fall of stars began. It was not, however, sufficient to count the numbers that fell ; it was desirable also to measure the time of their appearance and of the continuance of their fall, according to Franzmann's instrument, which beats thirds of seconds, and, moreover, to ascertain their relative light and apparent course in the heavens, and all these observations could commence only at twenty-six minutes past nine, when all the observers, fifteen in number, were assembled, occupying six windows of the observatory. Four gentlemen took care to observe and register the time of each appearance, according to two clocks. Till fourteen minutes past three, when dawn put a stop to the observations, they noticed 1,008 falling stars, not including numbers which must have been over- Joked, because the number of observers was insufficient. Sometimes the stars succeeded so rapidly, that nothing out the time could be noted down. The courses of only 977 have therefore been marked upon the star maps, with all the circumstances relative to them. The fol lowing result is as near the exact truth as possible : Five stars appeared as bright as Venus, fourteen as Jupiter, 238 as stars of the first magnitude, 354 were noted of the second, and 257 of the third magnitude ; 101 were reckoned smaller still, and the size of eight was omitted in the hurry ; 273 exhibited themselves with tails. It is useless to mention the apparent path of the stars, inasmuch as they varied according to the places of observation ; but we may just infer from that circumstance the possibility of measuring their distance and height from the earth. We therefore should wish fur corresponding observations in foreign countries. Three of our zealous observers devoted the following night also to science, and saw 323 falling stars, whilst the sky was partly covered. In the alight of August 12 an observer counted 103 more, from ten o'clock to 45 minutes past one. Therefore the annual periodical return of an uncommon fall of stars towards the 10th of August is once more confirmed, as well as that the passage of this host of . meteors near the earth lasts several days. If it were pos sible, with the aid *f corresponding . observations, to calcu- : late the direction of their passage with reference to the movement of the earth and their rapidity, we should then be able to form a notion of the extent which these multi_ tudes of stars occupy in space. (Signed) VON BOGUS': Lows Kr. Breslow, August 14, 1839. "—Prussian State Gazette. (From Lag, - Night's Gazette.) INDIA BOARD, Are. 29.—A despatch has been received at the East India House, from the Governor in. Council of Bombay, of which the following is an extract:— We avail ourselves of the departure of the East India Company's steamer Berenice, for the Persian Gulf, to transmit to the Honoutable the Secret Committee our latest intelligence up to this date. Private letters have been received from Candahar up to the 20th of May, and the intelligence they communicate is satisfactory. His Majesty Shah Sltooja-001-Moolk was crowned on the Bth of May, and we have the honour to. inclose in this despatch copies of the three General Ord4s issued on the occasion by his Excellency Lieutenant- Gen:al Sir John Keane.- We have not obtained these oiEcially, but we have no doubt of tytir authenticity. A force under conttriand of Brigadier Sale having been detached against Gerishk, that place was occup i e d, with out opposition, err the 15th of May, the Sirdars of Can dahar having ticcampeil before the Brigadier's arrival. The troops were generally healthy, and provisions, though still scarce, were becoming more plentiful. It was ianticipated that the army would be able to commence its_ march on Cabool . about the 10th of June, its movement before the above date being delayed on account of a large convoy of treasure and supplies expected from Shikarpore. It was generally believed, in camp, that the na tive portion of the Bombay division of the Army of the Indus would remain at Candahar ; and that the European portion would proceed to Ghiznee; and that, after reaching this place, the whole of the Bengal divi sion would march on Cabool. No authentic intelligence had been obtained of the intention of Dost Mahomed ; but there is good reason to believe that he has already been deserted bymany okhis chiefs and followers. . . The intelligence of the state of affairs at Herat continues satisfactory. A mission, under the guidance of Major Todd, was about to be deputed to that place, with presents from the Right Honourable the Governor-General of India to Shah Kamran; several officers of the En gineers and Artillery are to accompany the mission, for the purpose of improving the fortifications of Herat; but we do not understand that it is considered necessary to send any portion of our army, now in Affghanistan, to that place. e ad forces-Q uar o t e f r Camp,nal and e Bombay ORDERS. H The combined assembled at Candahar, th e C omman d er- i n- Chi e f congra tulates all ranks on the triumph ant , t h oug h ar d uous marc h aothbaary, beingl ‘layw 4.n now which they have accomplished, from distant and distinct parts of India, with a regularty and discipline which is much appreciated by him, and reflects upon themselves the highest credit. The difficulties which have been surmounted have been of no ordinary nature, and the recollection of what has been overcome must hereafter be a pleasing reflection to those concerned, who have so zealously, and, in so soldier like a manner, contributed to effect them, so as to arrive at the desired end. The engineers had to make roads, and occasionally in some extraordinary steep mountain passes, over which no wheeled carriage had ever passed. This was a work requiring science and much severe labour ; but so well has it been done that the progress of the army was in no way impeded. The heavy and light ordnance were alike taken over in safety, by the exertions and good spirit of the artillery, in which they were most cheerfully and ably assisted by the troops both European and Native, and in a manner which gave the whole proceed ing the appearance that each man was working for a favourite object of his own. 2. His Excellency shares in the satisfaction which the troops must feel (after the difficult task they have accom plished, and the trying circumstances under which they have been placed, the nature of which is well known to themselves, and therefore unnecessary for him to detail) at knowing the enthusiasm with which the population of Candahar have received and welcomed the return of their lawful Sovereign, Shah Shooja-001-Moolk, to the throne of his ancestors in Affghanistan. Sir John Keane will not fail to report to the Right Hon. Lord Auckland, Governor-General of India, his admiration of the conduct and discipline of the troops, by which means it has been easy to effect and to fulfil the plans of his Lordship in the operations of the campaign hitherto. 3. The Commander-in-Chief has already, in a general order, dated the ith ultimo, expressed his acknow ledgments to Major-General Sir Willoughby Cotton, for the creditable and judicious manner in which he con ducted the Bengal column to the valley of Sbawl. His Excellency has now a pleasing;duty to perform, in request ing Major. General Wilshire, commanding the Bombay column, to accept his best thanks for his successful exer tiens in bringing the troops of that Presidency to this ground in the most efficient and soldier-like state. 4. The Commander-in-Chief entertains a confident ex pectation that the same orderly conduct which has gained for the troops the goodwill of the inhabitants of the states and countries through which they have passed, will continue to be observed by them during their, advance upon Cabool, when the proper time for the adoption of that step shall have been decided upon by his Excellency, iu concert with his Ma jesty Shah Shooja-001-Moolk, and the Envoy and Minister W. H. Macnaghten, Esq., representing British interests at the Court of the King of Affghanistan. MAT s.—On the occasion of bis Majesty Shah Shooja ool-Moolk taking possession of his Throne, and receiving the homage of his people at Candahar, the following cere monial will be observed : The whole of the troops now at head•gaarters will be formed in review order at daylight in the morning of the Bth instant, on ground which will b e pointed out to Assistant Adjutants-General of Divisions to_ morrow afternoon, at five o'clock, by the Deputy Adjutant- General of the Bengal army. The troops will take up their ground in the following order from the right Bengal—Horse artillery, cavalry brigade, camel bat tery, Ist brigade of infantry, 4th brigade of infantry. Bombay.—Horse artillery, cavalry brigade, infantry brigade. _ _ _ The 4th local horse will take up a position in front of the right flank, and the Poonah auxiliary horse in front of the left flank, for the purpose of keeping the space in advance of the troops clear of the populace. A platform will be erected for his Majesty Shah Shooja ool- Moolk in front of the centre of the line, on either flank of which detachments of his Majesty's cavalry will take post to prevent the intrusion of the populace. Captain Lloyd's battery of Bombay artillery will be sta tioned at the Edgah gate of the town, and will fire a royal salute as his Majesty passes. The troops of his Majesty, Shah Shooja will be drawn up in the street in the most convenient situation, between the gate and the British army, and will salute his Majesty as he passes. The King's artillery will be formed near the Palace, and will fire a royal salute on the departure and return of his Majesty. On his Majesty approaching the platform, a royal salute is to be fired from one of the batteries in the line ; and, on his appearing in front of the troops, he will be received with a general salute from the whole line, the colours being lowered in the manner that is usual to crowned heads, and, as soon as the infantry have shouldered arms, one hun dred and one guns are to be fired from the batteries in line, under directions of Brigadier Stevenson. The Envoy, and Ministers and officers attached to the mission, the Commander-in-Chief and his personal staff, and the officers at the heads of departments, and Affghan Sirdars, arc to be stationed on tke right of the throne, syeds and moollahs on the left, the populace on both sides and rear of the Shah, restrained by his Majesty's cavalry, 4th local horse, and. Poonah auxiliary horse. The Envoy and Commander-in- Chief will present nuz zurs, as representatives of Government. The officers of the Shah's force will also present nuz zurs, leaving their troops for that purpose after the Shah has passed, and returning to receive his Majesty. The Shah's subjects will then present nuzzurs. At the close of the ceremony the troops will march past, the ca. valry in columns of squadrons, the infantry in columns of companies, in slow time ; the columns will move up to the wheeling point in quick time : the columns having passed will continue their route towards the encampment, the 4th brigade of Bengal infantry moving on to the Ca hoot gateway, at which his Majesty will enter the city, where it will form a street, and salute his Majesty as he passes. The troops are to appear in white trousers ; the dicers of the general staff in blue trousers and gold lace. Corps will parade on the occasion as strong as possible, and the encampments will be protected by the convales cents, and by quarter and rear guards, such extra guards as may be considered essentially necessary to be placed over treasure, at the discretion of brigadiers commanding brigades. Officers commanding divisions are to be supplied with field states, showing the actual number of troops there are under arms in their respective commands, to be delivered when called for. His Majesty having expressed a wish that his Excel lency the Commander-in- Chief should be near his person during the ceremony, Major-General Sir Willoughby Cot ton will command the troops in line. MAY 7.—Owing to the indisposition of Major- General Sir Willoughby Cotton, and his inability consequently to attend to-morrow at the ceremonial on the occasion of his Majesty Shah Shooja-001-Moolk taking possession of his throne, the post assigned to the Major-General by the General Order of the sth instant, of commanding the line, will de volve on Major-General Wilshire as the next senior officer, and he is requested to meet the Deputy Adjutant and Deputy Quartermaster-General of the Bengal and Bombay troops on the ground, this afternoon at the time he may fix, to make the necessary arrangements.

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY EvEmmi.---Notwithstand• ing the advanced state of the week there was, both yes.; terday and to-day, a considerable accession of MM. hers, and the sectional rooms have been well filled, some of the most popular ones inconveniently so. Yel: terday afternoon there was a grand horticultural show in the well-regulated botanic gardens at Edgbaston, in the neighbourhood of the town, which contained the most interesting floral beauties of the season. In the even ing all the places of intellectual gratification in the town were lighted and thrown open, including the model room with its extensive collection , the Geological Mu seum of the Philosophical Society, the' Natural His tory Museum of the Royal School of Medicine, and the collection of paintings of the Royal Society of Arts, which was only opened for exhibition yesterday. These various places were well attended, and afforded an ex lent opportunity for the cultivation of congenial tastes. This arrangenient, indeed, proved much more satisfac tory than the crowded and inconvenient assemblages at other places, and will, no doabt, form a model for future proceedings. This evening, at six o'clock, the only or dinary will take place at the Town Hall, which is likely to go off with good effect. Amongst other incidental meetings held to-day was one of the delegates of the various philosophical and mechanic institutions in the country, emanating from a suggestion lately thrown out by the Society for the Diffusion of Usef u l Know. ledge. SECTION A.—MATHEMATICS AND PHY3ICS.—On Wednesday the first paper read was by Mr. Follett Osier, containing the result of a series of investigations on his ancuometer. This led to an interesting discus sion relative to the singular phenomena attending thun der storms. The most interesting phenomenon was the expansion of clouds before n storm, and the rush of air, with a large proportion of water into their opening ; the extreme coldness occasioned by the evaporation in the descent of the water produced hailstones. 2. Mr. Hopkins read a paper on the least thickness of the coat of the earth, consistent with the phenomena of preces sion and nutation, and entered into an inquiry respecting its solidity or humidity throughout. 3. Mr. Nasmyth explained a plate-glass pneumatic speculum, exhibiting a specimen of an extraordinary size, constructed upon a principle applicable to telescopes. 4. The Rev. Pro fessor Whewell read a paper on refractive indices. 5. ' Dr. 'Lire made some remarks on photometry, and the fluidity and viscidity of certain fluids. 6. Mr. Frodsham exhibited and described a new compensating pendulum. 7. Professor Powell gave a report of a new case of inter ference of light. The papers read yesterday were-1. A report of Sir John Herschel!, of the Committee appointed to repre sent to Government the recommendation of the British Association, relative to the extension of magnetic ob servations. 2. Professor Powell, on certain points in the wave theory. 3. Mr. Blackborn on certain analytic theorems. 4. Mr. Hodgkins on the temperature of the earth in the deep mines of Lancashire and Cheshire. 5. Professor Forbes, the result of two years' observations of thermometers sunk to various depths near Edin burgh. 6. Some reports from Mr. Snow Harris on me teorological observations kept at Plymouth. 7. A de scription by Professor Stevelley of a mode of filling a barometer without the aid of the air-pump, and of ob taining an invariable surface on the cistern. 8. Mr. Burke on the binonical theorem. 9. Lieutenant Mor rison, on the relation of certain gases to the spectrum. SECTION C.—GEOLOGY AND GEOGRAPHY.—The papers read were :-1. Mr. R. I. Murchison, on tha carboniferous and Devonian systems in Westphalia and Nassau. 2. Mr. J. E. Bowman, on a nondescript ve getable skeleton found in Kamsckatka. 3. G. Loyd ling, Esq., on Saurian remains of the new red sandstone. 4. J. 0. Ward, Esq., M.D., on impressions of footsteps in New Brunswick. 5. Mr. J. A. Knipe, on a trap dyke in Cumberland. 6. A. Nasmyth, Esq., F.G.S., on the structure of fossil teeth. 7. Dr. Adams, on peat moss. 8. Mr. Yates, on the estuary of the Mersey ; and Mr. Elias Hall, next exhibited a map of the central coal district. This section proceeds to-morrow on the geological excursion to Dudley. Mr. od h i,vn e vessels. These were all purely technical, with the ex ception SECTION E.—MEDICAL SCIENCE.—The papers read were :-1. Dr. Thompson on alkaline dyspepsia. 2. Mr. Nasmyth on the teeth and the epithetium of the mouth. t s o o s 3. Mr. Jeffreys on respiration. 4 . Dr. Costello on s o ase t s y o in f g er st o o r n t et i r e ec o te a d d oo byli r t t h a o in trit. 5. appearances of that of Dr. Thompson, not popularly inter esting. The latter, however, successfully established indigestion as arising from acid alkaline and neutral causes, and that by injudicious treatment one form as sumed that of the other. SECTION D.—ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY.—On Tues day, Mr. Goodsir read a paper on dentition in the ru minants, with remarks on that process in the other orders of ruminants. 2. Dr. Wilde described a new mode for the preparation of fishes, differing in some re spects from that of Mr. Lankester. He first made an incisure into the skin by the head, and continued it pa rallel with the dorsal outline to the centre of th• tail. An incision was then made in the wider side, and the fish dissected from the skin, just preserving the thin membrame to which the scales adhered. This portion was then filled with cotton ' and mounted on paper, and the eyes being carefully removed, a little bit of tinsel was put at the back, according to its colour. 3. Mr. Patterson read a description of a new species of Berve, which in the dark presented a luminous ap pearance. 4. Dr. Bellingham read a paper on some raw entozoa found in Ireland ; and 5. Messrs. Forbes and Goodsir read a report on British Ciliograda. On Wednesday the communications read were-1. Mr. Felkins on the acclimation of the silkworm in Eng land, giving some interesting particulars of experimen tal trials, but without any satisfactory or practical re sult. 2. Mr. Fox on the discovery of the bones of a whale in the Isle of Wight. 3. Mr. Dawson an the manufacture of Alpaca wool ; and, 4. Mr. Brand on botanical characteristics. SECTION G.—MECHANICS.---The first paper read to day was by Mr. Jeffreys, on warming and ventilation ; but the only material part of the principle laid down was in the introduction of the fire-place more into the room. 2. Mr. Gossage gave a description of a new rotary steam-engine, which worked more successfully than those previously constructed upon that principle. 3. Dr. Larduer gave the concluding portion of his re port upon the resistance to trains on railways. I iN e E r R o a n a o c n l e ' w . —Mr. acid, Ly S o E l cir ) L7 fa l i 3 ;1 7-- ea C d H a E n m i i n s t T e ß re Y st A in N g D l‘ pap called lodo-sulphuric Acid, which he obtained by dis tilling sulphate o f l ea d w i t h i o di ne. Th e i o di ne sup plies the place o f a thi r d atom o f oxygen i n sul phuric acid, and on account of the discovery of this acid there is opened to chemists an entire new class of acids. Professor Shepherd, of the United States, read a paper on meteoric stones, the only novelty in which consisted in the discovery of sill cure, the presence of which had never been ob served before. 3. Professor Schonbein, of Basle, read a paper on the theory of electrical chemistry and the galvanization of metals. He proved that metals put in the electro-negative state had no affinity for oxygen, and showed that when two pieces of iron were connected with each pole of a galvanic battery, each being placed in separate vessels of water, an action took place, but on connecting these - vessels with a platinum wire, the action ceased. The change in certain bodies exposed to electricity is owing to some solid compound being formed, and which, he was of opinion, was the peroxide of hydrogen. He also stated that when the two wires of a battery were connected with a platinum and iron wire, and introduced into dilute sulphuric acid, no oxidation took place, but oxygen and hydrogen were liberated. 4. Dr. Ure made some observations on fermentation, and read a paper on the application of the microscope to chemical analysis. 5. Mr. Richardson read a paper on the composition of the silicates containing the record of some very com plete analysis. The adjourned general meeting of the Committee was held this afternoon, when invitations were read from Glasgow, Devonport, York, and Manchester, for th e next place of meeting. After some discussion it was de cided for the former place, and the Marquis of Breadal bane was appointed President. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.—Sir John Miley Doyle 1 hey Doyle has, we understand, retired from the contest, act i ng ne of the mos t n on °. of human lif e an d i u m n p d Le e r r i t Ga the nut T advice st NG inventions of e 11 . of l oN r r . 1 theDui c l p l o Tr enos CONDUCTORS. —One tr s r v o ; w t i property is the new application at the lightning conductors which war and conducting this formidable fluidfrorn merchant still vessels.t the e Themast-head old m mode of the ued in many ships, is by copper s an o ci f chains made fast aloft and wtoatsehri , p descending to the water's edge; these are kept in boxes amongst the stores, until the ap pearance of the weather indicates lightning that may be soon expected ; the men are then sent up to place these if chains, there - be time for it, but often, before they can be got ready, the danger has arrived, or is past. The conductor we now describe is of a superficial kind—it consists of two lamina of sheet copper, laid one on the other, in lengths of about four feet ; they are placed so that the closed joints of one fall on the continuous portions of the other, their width is from an inch and a half to six inches, according to the size of the mast to be furnished with them, and are together 3-16ths of an inch in thickness; they are rivetted together at the points of junction, to fern, an elastic and continued line ; this is then inlaid at the afterpart of the mast, and secured by copper nails. The conducting line of metal in ti e h alt is made perfect and secured upon the keelson. The con ductor, thus constructed, will pass from the vane spindle to the keel in one unbroken line, and no damage can take place, as there is no interruption to the passage of t hi s tremendous power along the metallic line. These proper ties of Mr. Snow Harris's conductor were fully tested at the Polytechnic Institution, by Mr. Backoffer, t h e lecturer on experimental philosophy. A square-rigged vessel, afloat in the canal, was fitted with this apparatus, and the powerful electric discharge was communicated to the extreme point of the maio-top.gallant-mast. It passed along t h e c onductor and out of the vessel without injuring anyt hi ng , but continuing its course several yards, it ex ploded some gunpowder in a boat 1 d p ace on purpose to prove the actual presence and power of the electric fluid. - SAILING and STEAM VESSELS WANTED for PER FORMING the MAIL SERVICE between ABERDEEN or PETERHEAD, and LERWICK, in the SHETLAND ISLANDS, DEPARTMENT OF THE COMPTROLLER FOR VICTUALLING AND TRANSPORT SER.
