FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, JUNE 13.—This afternoon his Ma-
jesty and Visitors, with his Suite, left the Royal
Lodge in three pony phaetons and on horseback, for
their customary airing in the Great Park.
Last evening Prince and Princess Esterhazy, Earl
and Countess Lieven and their Daughter, Earl and
Countess and Lady Georgiana Bathurst, and Lord
Egremom, arrived at the Royal Lodge, on a visit to
ins Majesty.
This evening his Majesty will entertain his
distin-
guished visitors with a sumptuous entertainment at
the Royal Lodge. The Private Band are ordered to
be in attendance.

The Duke of York's indisposition arose from a cold,
with which he was afflicted previous to his Royal
Highness's going 'to attend the Ascot Heath Races,
where, we regret to say, it was increased, which
brought, on an oppression at the chest, and which
compelled his Royal Highneis 'to be confined to his
house on Monday and yesterday. We are, however,
happy to say, his Royal Highness was not prevented
from attending to military business, with Sir Herbert
Taylor, his Military Secretary, the greater part of both
days. His Royal Highness had appointed to hold a
levee yesterday, which was in consequence postponed.
Sir Henry Raiford attended the Royal Duke, and,
yesterday morning, on visiting his Royal Highness,
reported that he had enjoyed a good night, and was
better.
A letter from `Windsor, dated June 12, says, " His
Majesty yesterday afternoon, arrived at the Castle. and
inspected the progress made during the past week,
which occupied his attention upwards of an hour. He
then returned to the Great Park, and continued driving
about the most shady parts until near seven o'clock ;
and in the evening his Majesty had a select dinner
party.'
Lord Normanhy, who was named as likely to offer
himself for Newcastle, is in Italy; and he is about to
join the Duke of Devonshire.
" Dnblin," exclaimed a green orator in Clayton-
square, the other night, "is afloat." " Then,' said
a wag, " I suppose it will be here the next tide 1"
Albion.

The anxiety of Sir Robert Wilson and Mr. Calvert
to bring the Borough contest to a close is not quite
consistent with their avowed attachment to free discus-
lion ; but patriotism is a mighty inconvenient kind of
thing, when patriots have to pay the piper.
There are said to be no less than 500 attorneys em-
ployed in the Westmoreland contest ; of course the
candidates and constituents must witness purity and
economy to their hearts' content.
Ellen, Viscountess Strangford, whose death we an-
nounced a few days ago as having taken place at St.
Petersburgh on the 26th ult., was youngest daughter
of the late Sir Thomas Burgh, Bart. of Marble Hill,
in the County of Galway, sister to the Countess of
Clanricarde and to the Lady of Sir H. Tichbourne,
Bart., and aunt to the Marquess of Clanricarde, the
Marchioness of Sligo, and the Countesses of Howth
and Dysart. Seven children, two of them the issue of
. . _

her Ladyship's first marriage, are left to mourn the loss
of a most amiable, exemplary, and devoted mother.
In the same Court to which we alluded the day
before
_yesterday, in regard to deductions of causes
from effects, some strange phenomena were some time
ago discovered in the persons of two of its members.
One of them was a gentleman of property, with very
little to do in the way of his profession ; the other with
abundance of employment, had but little property ; on
which contrast it was observed, that one had effects
ithout causes, and the other causes without effects.

The banking pretniSes of Sir Peter Pole Bart.
Thornton, Free, and Co., were brought to the hammer.
Yesterday, by Mr. . W iintwiley, at the Auction Mart,
the great room of which place was crowded to excess
on the occasion. Among others, we noticed several
eminent monied men, who seemed to take great in-
terest in the sale. The following is a descnption of
the property, and the result :—A freehold house, No.
1, Bartholomew-lane, opposite the Bank of England,
with every convenience suitable for the business of a
banker, land4ax redeemed ; and two leasehold houses,
Nos. 1 and 2, Capel-court, adjoining, held for an un-
expired term of four years; at a rental 2101. per ann.,
and 101. 10s. for redeemed land-tax, was, after a smart
competition, knocked down for the sum of 8,9504
SALE OF THE ARDLEIGif PARK:ESTATE, ESSEX..
—The extensive freehold estate, known as Ardleigh
Park, near Colchester, comprising the Manor of Mar-
tell's Hall, with the quit-rents, perquisite's, and fines
thereof, a family residence, with attached and detached
offices, sundry farms, farm-yards, agricultural buildings,
cottages, gardens planted with fruit-trees, and nearly
902 acres of amble, pasture, wood, and plantation
land, abounding with game, producing (including quit
rents and fines, and the estimated value of land unlet)
1,523/..165. 3d., was sold. by auction yesterday, at
Gaxraway's Coffee-house, 'Change-alley, by Mr. W,
Simpson, for the sum of 33,0001,

VON WXBER'S FUNERAL..--The body of this
lamented musician will be carried to St. Paul's on
Friday next, when Mozart's Requiem will be per.
formed by most of the principal singers, assisted by a
powerful band and chorus. The seats erected for the
Charity Children's Anniversary are left for the accom-
modation of the public.

DR. Jomisox.—Such was Dr. Johnson's antipa-
thy to a democratical whig, that when one of hia par•
titular friends was extolling as a model for a Member
of Parliament, a highly popular character, since de-
ceased, Johnson burst out out into the extreme of fury
and indignation, " Sir," said he, " is a dirty
Scoundrel' like the rest of his party." In speaking of
modern leveller* one day to a friend, he said, « Sir,
they like to pull down till it comes to themselves."
Goldsmith had said very well before him, respecting
general declaimers for liberty—" They call it freedom
when theinselves are free."
MAnnirn.---On the 25th ult. at Berne, at the
residence of his Britannic Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary, by
the Bev. B. Burgess, John hints %Islam, Esq. of
Court, Herefordihi:e, to Sarah Prances, second (laughter of the
late Matthew Bell, Bay. of Woolsington, Northumberland.

ANECDOTE Of MUNDEN.,--The veteran says that
when he was a runaway 'prentice, and looked even
younger than he was, he played Old Philpot, in Vie
Citizen, at Rochester, with some applause. On tin•
following night, a gentleman of Rochester, who was at
that time his patron, introduced him to a club of the
most respectable inhabitants of that city as Mr, mun,
den. After he had taken his seat, an old gentleman
opposite, who never dreamed that the boyiih-looking

SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE.
RADIANT HEAT.
On a former occasion, in giving our report of the
proceedings of the Royal Society, we announced the
reading ok a paper before that body, by the Rev. B.
Powell, F.R.S., on the subject of Radiant Heat ; but
stated, that we would reserve any particular notice of
its contents, till we should have space to give a brief
sketch of the whole investigation, of which the paper
in question formed a part. This we now propose
to do.

Radiant heat is a term which lints been used by
some philosophers, invested with a great deal of theory
and mysticism, but we understand it as catpressing
simply that heating effect which is produced by a hot
body at any sensible distance.
This heating effect has been shown by several expe-
riments to be subject to constant laws of reflection,
&c. in a way close] l analogous to light ; but some im-
portant differenees lave been shown to exist, accord-
mg is the source of heat is luminous or not.
From non-luminous sources, the heat produces a
greater effect on bodies, in proportion to a peculiar
,fineness of tewure in their surface, without reference
to colour.

The heat from these sources is incapable of passing
through glass Screens, except the glass become heated,
when it becomes a radiating source.
On the other band, from luMinous sources, it has
been shown, that the effect is produced (more or less)
it; proportion to the darkness of colour of the surface
on which it acts; as also, that it is capable of passing
directly through glass, in part; but that a consider-
able portion, (less, as the luthinosity is more intense)
is intercepted.
The distinction of circumstances by which these
effects are defined, has, however, been involved in
great. uncertainty. It was here that Mr. Powell took
up the enquiry ; and in a series of experimpts detailed
in a paper which was published in the Phil.. Trans.
1825, examined in connexion, the relationS of radi
ant heat to the colour and texture of surfaces, and to
the interceptive power of screens. He showed that
When the source is luminous, that portion of the heat
which is transmitted through glass, is also distin-
guished by the property of affecting bodies, according
to their darkness of colour • whilst that which is stop-
ped affects them in regarti 'to the absorptive texture
of their surfaces. Hence it follows, that when a hot
body is luminous, two distinct species ("heat emanate
from it : one closely associated with the light, and,
the other simple heat, the same as that emanating fro An.
non-luminous hot bodies. 'With respect to the for-
mer kind, the same author has published some
.papers
in the Quarterly Journal of Science, and m the
Annals of Philosophy, in which he maintains the
theory that, in exact analogy with the other pheno-
mena, it may be called the latent heat of light.
With respect to the latter kind, tie general le.‘w
that it cannot radiate through glass, has been sUil7posi,ml
in some eases not to bald good. In particular one
such case is inferred by,M, De La Roche, from some
of his experiments ; in the instance of A subsequent
interception by a second glass screen, which he con-
ceives the heat to traverse freely. To examine this
point, is the object of Mr. PoWell's recent comutunica-
tton to the Royal Society. He has verified M. Dc
La Roche's result ; but finds his explanation of it
unnecessary ; and dn, in fact, it is not an exception,
to the general law, but readily accounted for in confot:,
mil}' with it.
The subject of radiant heat has also been of late
much attended to by Mr. Ritchie, A. M. Rector of
the' Academy at Tain. His papers appear in the Edin-
hurgh Philosophical Journal, Nos. 22 anti 23. One
of fiis positions is, that simple radiant can *averse
glass of great tenuity. T
his point has hien contro-
verted by 11fr„ Powellin the paper last alluded
Mr. Ritchie has also invented u highly iitioottpiible in-
strument, which, in common with Professor Leslie, he
calls a photometer (although the propriety of the term
may be, questioned), which measures the intensity of
that species of heating effect which has above been
called the latent heat of light, and which is propor-
