THE HARTMAN ORATION. The annual ora-
tion, in honour of the great discoverer of the circulation of
the blood, was delivered ou Saturday, at the Royal Col-
lege of Physicians, Pall-Mall, by Dr Spurgin, in presence
of Dr. Paris, the president of the c01ic?,.., end a number of
the fellows. Mr. Justice Coleridge and Sir It. 11. Inglis,
M.l'., w: r. also present with other distinguished visitors.
' The oration, whrth was as usual iteliversl in latin, was
chiefly of a scientific and professional eharatter. Atter
describing the nature of truth and characteristics, the
craving for which, he said, was insatiable in the human
mind, he proceeded to a consideration of tho two-fold
method of its Inv, stigation, namely the synt..etic and
analytic methods. Ile then proceeded to give a sketch of
the life of liarvey and his scientific researches, which were
well calculated to servo as a model to all who were engaged
in the investigation of the secrets of nature. The memorable
discovery of the circulation of the'lilood, by which the name
of Harvey has become immortal, was one of those happy de-
ductions of genius which alter the fire of Faience, nuil be-
come the pregnant sourer of ii,w acquisitions in the regions of
truth, for the promotion of human happiness, and the alleN ia-
tion of human suffering. 1)r. Spnrgin went on at some
length to show the great influence which the discovery of
Harvey had exercised over the direction of medical science,
and concluded by some happy allusions to the groat topic of
the day—" The Crystal Palace." The exhibition, with its
I accumulated treasures of art and industry, he regarded as
the, glory of our more peaceful era, and as the most
striking pledge, of the future progress of mankind.
ItIGIIT'S POCKET STOVE.—A select party of gentle-
men assembled at resale's Coffee-house, Fleet-street, on
Saturday, to witness a series of experiments with au inge-
nious little stove invented by Mr. Rigby. The stove,which
resembles in form an exaggerated chess "castle," is ouly
about 6 inches in height by 41 inches in diameter, and does
not weigh more than 2 lbs. Its principal peculiarity is a con-
trivance by which spirits arc consumed, the amount of heat
thus generated being placed under the perfect control of the
operator by means of a Email screw. Whether economy or
speed be taken as the test of its capabilities, it certainly
appeared to be, the
the successful portab _ . . has
yet appeared before the public. ~... •.:',....--,_,_, .! '1.4
