SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE.

ROYAL SOCIETY, JU,NX 8.
The papers on Electricity, &c, which were briefly
read at the last Meeting, and of which we promised
some further account, were communicated by "W.
Snow Harris, Esq.
The leading point investigated was the conducting
powers of different metals in a gaseous medium. It
had been previously ascertained- that in passing an
electric discharge along a metallic rod, a certain de-
gree of heat is produced, which accumulates in a
greater degree in proportion as the conducting power
of the metal is less; of this power, therefore, the heat
affords a measure, supposing due precautions taken
to secure the constancy of the other conditions ;
such as the capacity of the surrounding medium,
the radiating; power of the metal, and the intensity
of the electric discharge. A great variety of expen-
ments were detailed.

At the present meeting there was read the Bakerian
Lecture by Sir H. Davy, Pres. R. 8.; and a paper by
J. South, Esq. F.R.S. was announced, containing
astronomical observations on certain irregularities in
the Sun's motion ;. together with a description of his
new transit instrument.

Of the former highly important. and interesting com-
municatioii, relative to the chemical.and electrical rela-
tions and .affections of matter, our present limits will
not allow us to give any adequate account; we shall
ret at to the Subject at a future opportunity.

FAO![ THE rkINCH OF )t. RICONAULT nF CHAOURCE.
AT tea years old, a maiden
Thinks she's s woman gtown,
At fourteen she turns coquette,
At twenty, she's your own.
At twenty-five a haughty queen,
She leads you in her chain,
At thirty ye,ars she buries you,
And then—alat weds again.
