The MAYOR said the uutice of Mr. Mope, given for the 9th of

Couticiiior-JoaDAN presented a petition which had been
delivered to his care and winch was very numerously ,igned,
praying -that there might be atcommadation for sieumets at
the south end of the town. He begged that it might be referred
by the council to the consideration of the Dock DueS Com-
mittee.
Mr. Alderman F.vaNs said there was that accommodation

Mr. Councillor JoaDAN begged•his pardon.
Mr. Aldernian BnowN said this neuter had undergone a very
.deep consideration before. It was thought that the ,nuisance of
these steamers to that part of the town—the •tanger to fife was
•
such that they had better remain where they were.
Mr, Alderman LNATHOM said the business of the Dock Com-
mittee was arranged into different divisions, a sub-cononittee
being apptiiuted to investigate into each branch. Thist,Uh-
ject weutd be taken into full and mature .consideration. "he.

There formerly had been accommodation on the east sole of the
Biuoswick Duck for steamers; they cull.), wanted encourae-

and of so lance itineirtauce as that of -chemical ettraetian ; or;
as it is more generally culled now, Of chemical affinity. In
almost every process whictris not sti jetty Mechanical, niee be
traced the important agency of. the alHoity between dissimilar
bodies and the product, new properties and characters in the
substances acted upon. In acquiring a knowledge of themietty
the attention of the student should tir:'t tie .threetei towards this
important pert of it; for he will require its aid iii every step of
his progress. By this we leant what bodies combine with Unser
bodies, and the nature of the resetting' compeend. By the su-
perior atHaity iif one substance fir. another, we are enabled to •
separate pioxunate or ultimate elements from eaeh Otto, and
ascertaiu the nature or compotteuts of any substance submitted
to examination. By lime sante power we.unite bodies, and thus
create in the compound a substance passessing valuable and
useful properties,. which none of its elements possessed in their
separate elate. to considering this branch of the subject it be•
comes necessary to knew not only what bodies are eepable of
chemical combination, but alsti, under what ciri.ultistances they
combine, and what causes wlll prOtliOtf., 1110dify, or prevent
their combination. The art of the. chemist !nay create in dif-
ferent bodies Rowers of energetic affinity which the y do ilot
naturally posass. Saud and pearl ash and red teed have no
tendency to unite, nor will they form any other than a mechani-
cal mixture, if no other than mechanical means are to be- em-
ployed, but when we subject them •to the chemiCal process of
long continued fusion, they unite together and tseene that coin.
pound and valuable metiriel calle7i glase. lii like manner,
grease avid water do not unite together, but each of them basalt
affinity for a caustic alkali, and if this be. added-to either, or to
both of them, the three bodies unite peimatiently Lind-form the
important and useful matertal called snap. ']lie detergent pro-
pesty of the soap exists in the alkali, but the "alkali alone -would
be corrosive and injurious to our elethitsg, or person, The dyer
acts ou similar principles in most of his operations, fur the co-
louring matter of the dye writ seldom .unite direeitly with the titre
of the article to be dyed. A medium ivhichhas, an affinity both
for the dye and for the fibre is employed-, and Ly the agency of
the mordant, as it is called, the colour is .permanently tixi:d
wherever it is required, and only there.
It will, doubtless, be enquired what is the, cause of certain
bodies conibining chemically with souse sunstamices while ti.ey
will not with othets. A cause there must be, but that cause', e-
main. at present-unknown. The prutiability is, that the itiffea.
ent states of electricity of bodies capable ut uniting, causes them
to unite, and that by their 'union electrleal. equiittniion is re-
stored. It seems already manifest that cleettleity.ie developed
CI every case of cheittit-sal action. It was usual to itivide the
elementary bodies into tNU classes-, electsiieitsitiM••e and nega-
tive, but this mode oldistiectioh is eshislary .'tall auseieutitic.
Electro-positive betties combine, and um decomposiag tnem,- we
tied that one is negative with respect to the other. The same
will apply to electru-negative bodies. latited, the cause body is
sometimes positive and sometimes negative; suleisere for ex-
ample, will combine with oxygen and hydiogen ; in these eases
the sulphur is negative to the hydrogen and pesitive to the uev-
gen. Its our present state of letetwledge it is safer to adopt the
_general statement of Sir Isaac Newton, who said that bodies
cumbined togethtir chemicalay because they had an affinity fur
each other, and that they aid not, because such ail-luny %sea
wanting. If our opinions on this suliject are not satisfattory,
those of the earlier chemists were much less so, it', indeed, they
were not positively übsurd. Eveu Hooke, the illustrious com
temporary of Newton, was infected by theta. and attributed the
changes which occur by chemical union to a new mechanical
arrangetneut of the particles. There is to tiVitiellCC in favour
of this opinion, tier a single fact to justify it. With respect to
the loon or size of the atoms of elementary matter at are en- •
titely ignorant, as also of their vseight a-their relative weights
we are pretty well acquainted with, end for this important and
valuable knowledge we are indebted Chiefly to the bon: and
masterly researches of Dalton.
Mayow appears filet to have noticed the phenomena of affi-
uity with a philueopitte eye. He said it' oil of vitriol is mixed
with sett of tartar, that vitriolated tartar is produced, but car-
bonic acid escapes with effervescence. If a eolution of eutpitate
of iron be poured into a solution of salt of tartar viiriolic.tartar
is produced, but without effervescence, the carbonic acid ulta-
ine with the iron, and forming carbouine of iron. The highest
praise which can be bestowed on May ow is, that
,:..3ir Isaac New•
ton adopted his views and opinions almost in his own Wulde.
Pursuing this subject, Sir Isaac Newton, with his usual saga-
city, writes, that if we expose common salt and saltpetre to. the
air they do not liquify, but salt of tartar does. Newton says
that the reason of this is, that salt of tartar attracts water from
the atmosphere, whilst the others doeuit. Newton made VariOUS
other experiments, and one of these was vet v remarkable. if,
said he, you dissolve silver in aqual•ortis the silver ntay be sepe-
rated by means of mercury, in like mantierthe mei eury may be
separated by means of copper, ant the copper by iron. Dues
not this show that the acid particles are mote strongly attracted
by the mercury than by the silver, by the copper titan by the
mercury, and by the iris strongest of all.- la .these two in-
stances his exposition was exceedingly beautiful, but here was,
perhaps, one circumstance unknown to Neaten by which we
Inuit explain the nature of the combination. We sal for cou-
venience teat the metal is dissolved by the acid, but the steles
mein, nevertheless, is untrue. for we must convert the metal
into up oxide before the acid will dissolve it. We cannot dis-
solve silver, but we can dissolve the oxide of silver. When
mercury is added, the oxygen having a greater affinity fur it
than the silver, leaves the silver for it, and the silver again as-
coitus the metallic state, and subsides= in the vessel.
At ahout the same period Boyle was investigating the diffe-
rent tests or reagents for the detection of minute particles of
minter incapable of being detected- lid' the ordinary means. Blue
vegetable bodies, such as infasioniA cabbage, violet, See., were
found to .be excellent tests for the presence of atids'and alkalis,:
as a eliga portion of the former rendered them red, and of the.
latter green; butthese tests sire of very' limited use; because by
. .
adding a portion of acid to the infusion rendered gieett -by an
alkali the colour will be restored, thus indicating the presence:
of neither acid nor alkali when the contrary,is Ithe.,fact. 'Fiiis
test can therefore only he applied when the acid and alkali are
in free states. 'Models chemistry has furnished us with a va••
riety of different tests which will enable us to separate the acid
atiti alkali from. ' its combination 'in any atate • of combination,
• and enable its to say what acid or alkali was employed. It' ni-
'trate of barytes, for instance, be added to any quantity of sul-
phttric acid In •cieithination with 'ail Aber.liquid body, a white
inseltible compound is immediately formed, called sulphate. of
barytes. Papers saturated in infasiens, of littnue or turmeric
are very conitsson tests. The latter is a vese deitcate test fur
alkali, and the former for acid, as a minute portion or either
will change the colours of the papers.
The term chemical affinity is employed in speaking of the
attraction which bodies chetnically combined exert towards each
other, to distiuguish it from the different species of attraction
exerted by gravaation, electricity, magnetism, It:e. The former.
of these is the most important, as upon its agency the ex-
istence of the whole universe depends. Chemical attrac-
tion differs from it, however, in as much as it cannot take place
between masses or matter, but only between the ultimate par,
ticles of matter. It cannot take place at sensible distance.,
but at insensible distances. It cannot take place ', bet ween
matter of similar kinds, fur if ire la 11t together similar matter
we shall have a mere Mechanical Mixture. In 1781, the eider
Geoffrov coneeived the idea of arratiging lists of-certain ;Mb-,
