ROYAL INSTITUTION.

Yesterday, Dr. Tyndall delivered his third lecture to'
on Magnetism, in which he considered more particularly 20
some of the Feculiar and more recently discovered proper- :
ties of magnetic force. flaying, in the first instance, re-
peated the experiment of magnetising a thin bar of steel,
and then breaking it into pieces, to show that

_ .
polarity resides in every separate particle, he Is!-:‘
contrasted the action of steel with that of soft
iron, in which the magnetism is instantaneously induced, 13
and as quickly departs when the inducing force is removed. :I
This property of becoming magnetic is, however, limiest 10
to a certain temperature ; and Dr. Tyndall exhibited several It'
experiments to illustrate the interesting relation that ap-
pears to subsist between magnetism and heat. Having 180
heated a poker red hot, he brought it near to a sus- se
pcnded magnetic needle, on which it appeared to posses. 31.•

no influence, but when the poker was cooled gt.,
the magnetic action was immediately restored. The St
magnetic property of soft iron is not, however, entirely dia. St"
sipated by heat, though it has been ascertained by Mat at
-
teuchi that the magnetism of a red het bar is about fifteen
million times less than that of cold iron. The eff..ct of heat so'
in diminishing magnetism does not take place gradually, :I:
but at a certain temperature the bested iron suddenly gt.
changes its magnet.c character. This was shown by e
one ingeniously arranged experiment, in which a red het g.
iron ball was suspended to a scale beam immediately over NI
a magnet. At first, and whilst it remained of a bright red 1.1.
heat, the ball swung about slowly, with a regular pendulum 10
action, not affected by the attraction of the magnet beneath, eft
but on a sudden its oscillations became more rapid, evi et
-
dently showing that its susceptibility to magnetism had been
restored. Another effect of the induced magnetism in soft 191

iron, in variance with the action of permanent magnetism
in steel, was shown in the geometrical increase of attractive

force by adding to the strength of the magnet. To prove tit.
this, an ghetto-magnet was excited in different measured 1:1
degrees, by regulating the current of electricity that passed 10
through the surrounding wire coils, and the amount of ese
attraction excited towards &small mass of soft iron was de- et.
termined by a weighted beam. When the sirength of the I,fi!
magnet was doubled, the weight it lifted was quadrupled. ;
This curious result was explained to be owing to the induc- 141
lion in the soft iron of an amount of msguitism equal to 43
that in the magnet, and they thus reacted on each other 10
with • double force, producing • quadruple power. Tbe same St.
effect would not be produced by the attraction of a piece of It,
steel, because its attraction towards the magnet remains con- In
scent, and is increased by increase of poser only directly mop
in proportion to the strength of the magnet. Towards the at.
concluaion of his lecture, Dr. Tyndall directed attention to so
dia-magnetic phenomena, observing that whilst only iron, 10
steel, nickel, and a few other bodies are magnetic, nearly
every body in nature possesses the peculiar property disci-
vered by Professor Faraaay, in 1846, of beingw bat is termed
dia-magnetic, that is, of bring repelled by magnetic poles at
right angles to their ordinary lines of attraction. On the so
lecture table there was collected a great variety of articles,
.ncluding gold, silver, bismuth, wax, wood, tallow, putt. IX.
toes, cabbage, tub, and beef steak, all which, if suspended
between the poles of two magnets, would place themselves "'"
in a position across the two poles. Several experiments were pt.
exhibited to show the peculiar action ; and Dr. Tyndall ex-
pressed his opinion that further research into these interest 24
log phenomena will lead to important discoveries respecting so
the nature of magnetic force. 25

ROTAL FREE ROVITAL, GRAT'S INN-ROAD.—
Yesterday, the annual meeting of the governors of this in-
stitution was held is the board-room of the hospital; the
Right Hen. the Lord Mayor in the chair. Mr. Fenn, the
secretary, read the annual report, from which it appears
that, during the oast year, 41,835 patients have been re-
lieve!, being 5,621 more than in the preceding year, and
mating a total, since the liundation of the hospital in 1828, ,
of 481,602. Daring the late visitation of the cholera the
hovital was open day and night, and 5,621 persons then
relieved. Money and clothes were given to destitute
patients, and the officers of the hospital had been the means
of a number of unfortunate females being restored to their
homes and friends. The income of the institution during ,
the past year amounted to 4,6191. 18s. Bd. ; and, in come-
queue° of the increased amount of relief, the expenditure
had exceeded the receipts; and the committee in their report,
ationgly appealed to the governors and the public generally
for their aid to place the hospital (tee from debt, and in a
position of increased efficiency. It wa. further stated, in
answer to a question, that the debt of the Institution
amounted to nearly 5,0001. On the motion of the Lord
Mayor, the report was received and adopted ; and, after the
mat routine business, the proceedings terminated.
