POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

Dr: John Ryan, the chemical lecturer to this institu-
tion, Is at present delivering a course of lectures on the
philosophy of heat and cold. These lectures are admi-
rably adapted for this season of the year, as the learned
Doctor, instead of merely confining himself to the usual
routine of writers and lecturers on this important sub-
nt, treated principally of the matter in connexion with
meteorology and the economy of clothing. After in-
troducing the subject by treating of the various sources
of heat, Dr. Ryan proceeded to consider the change of
condition produced by this imponderable in every de-
scription of matter. His illustrations in this departinent
of his lectures were most happy and numerous, com-
prising a condensed description of thermometers and
pyrometers ; under this head, also, he explained very
simply and beautifully the theory of ventilation, the
cause of the trade-winds, land, and sea breezes. The
lecturer then proceeded to consider the communication
of heat ; first, by conduction and convertion ; secondly, by
absorption and radiation Under the latter head, Dr.
Ran explained most concisely and satisfactorily the
theory of dew, and the cause of its deposition ou some
surfaces and not upon others. The Doctor showed by
numerous well-appointed experiments that those bodies
which absorb heat rapidly have also the power of radi-
ating caloric with great rapidity, and, therefore, they
cool more quickly than mere reflectory surfaces.
Thus while the earth and the grass absorb heat in the
day more rapidly than the smooth-gravel walk, yet
after the sun-set the process of radiation on the
dark surfaces continue to cool by radiation until the
moisture of the contingent air is condensed into dew.
Lastly, the talented gentleman explained the sensible
and latent conditions of heat, showing the cause of the
changes in the temperature of the bodies, produced by
the passage of matter from the solid to the liquid, or
from the liquid to the aeriform state ; or vice versa.
We are sorry that our space will not allow us to report
more fully the latter portion of this excellent and truly
philosophical lecture. In conclusion, Dr. Ryan showed
that by co-operation he could easily freeze water. In
fact, he quite astonished his auditors by forming a large
mass of ice in a metallic vessel, at a red heat. We un-
derstand that he intends to continue the subject a week
or two longer.

ENTERTAINMENT TO IBRAHIM

PACHA.

Yesterday evening the members of the Reform Club en-
tertained Ibrahim Pacha and his suite at a magnificent ban-
quet at the Club House, Pall-mall.
His Highness, attended by Sami Pacha, Colonel Bonfort,
M. Nubar' and Major C. Dickson, arrived at the Club-
house, in Pall-mall, precisely at ten minutes after seven
o'clock, and was received by Viscount Palmerston, Sir Charles
Napier, Mr. Bannerman, Mr. Bond, the secretary, &c. The
saloon was crowded by the members of the club when the
Pacha reached the club-house, and the gallery surrounding
that splendid apartment was thronged by elegantly-dressed
ladies. The band of the Scots' Fusilier Guards welcomed
the presence of his Highness Ay playing the Sultan's
march.
Sir Charles Napier conducted the illustrious Pacha to
the grand dining-room, followed by Viscount Palmerston
and the leading members of the club, and the suite of his
Highness.
Edib Effendi, the Turakish Chargé d'Affaires, came
afterwards, and was ushered to the drawing-room, where the
Pacha had already arrived.
In the meantime every necessary arrangement had been
completed for the banquet, and it is scarcely necessary to
say, the entertainment was served up in a style of consum-
mate splendour. The banquet took place in the spacious
dining-room, covers being laid for 154 guests. The table pre-
sented a splendid ensemble, and was principally illuminated
from silver candelabra arranged along the centre, alternating
with vases of the choioPst flowers. The repast was most
sumptuous, and did infinite credit to that celebrated chef de
cuisine, M. Soyer.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

Dr. John Ryan, the chemical lecturer to this institu-
tion, i s at present delivering a course of lectures on the
philosophy of heat and cold. These lectures are admi-
rably adapted for this season of the year, as the learned
Doctor, instead of merely confining himself to the usual
routine of writers and lecturers on this important sub-
ject, treated principally of the matter in connexion with
meteorology and the economy of clothing. After in-
troducing the subject by treating of the various sources
of heat, Dr. Ryan proceeded to consider the change of
condition produced by this imponderable in every de-
scription of matter. His illustrations in this department
of his lectures were most happy and numerous, com-
prising a condensed description of thermometers and
pyrometers ; under this head, also, he explained very
simply and beautifully the theory of ventilation, the
cause of the trade-winds, land, and sea breezes. The
lecturer then proceedel to consider the communication
of heat ; first, by conduction and convection ; secondly, by
absorption and radiation Under the latter head, 1)r.
Ryan explained most concisely and satisfactorily the
theory of dew, and the cause of its deposition on some
surfaces and not upon others. The Doctor showed by
numerous well-appointed experiments that those bodies
which absorb heat rapidly have also the power of radi-
ating caloric with great rapidity, and, therefore, they
cool more quickly than mere reflectory surfaces.
Thus while the earth and the grass absorb heat in the
day more rapidly than the smooth-gravel walk, yet
after the sun-set the process of radiation on the
dark surfaces continue to cool by radiation until the
moisture of the contingent air is condensed into dew.
Lastly, the talented gentleman explained the sensible
and latent conditions of heat, showing the cause of the
changes in the temperature of the bodies, produced by
the passage of matter from the solid to the liquid, or
from the liquid to the aeriform state ; or vice versa.
We are sorry that our space will not allow us to report
more fully the latter portion of this excellent and truly
philosophical lecture. In conclusion, Dr. Ryan showed
that by co-operation he could easily freeze water. In
fact, he quite astonished his auditors by forming a large
mass of ice in a metallic vessel, at a red heat. We un-
derstand that he intends to continue the subject a week
or two longer,
