The bill for increasing the salary of the
governor has passed the House of Repre-
sentatives by handsome maiority.-W
presume it has arisen from an erroneous opin-
ion of the feelings of the great body of the
people in this Commonwealth, that since The
days of Gov Hancock, the compensation for
the arduous and responsible services of The
chief magistrate, has been suffered to remain
so low.--It is restored by the present bill, TO
the original sum of 100 pounds or 5000 dol
lars.--IVeeklg Messenger.

IN FOUR VOLUMES OCTAVE.


TSHE preceding edition of DIR. Thorn
sons Chemistry, had acquired SC
much reputation both in England and up.
or the continent Of Europe, that new
edition, comprising the new facts with
which the science had been enriched,
and the new views Of the subject which
extended knowledge had suggested as
indispensable, was eagerly looked for
BY the scientific world. A new edition
has accordingly appeared, wherein the
former edition Of five Volumes has been
condensed into four.
All the new discoveries, and all the
new theories of Chemical Phenomena,
have been considered and embraced in
the present improved edition SO that it
is indispensable to the chemical student,
as presenting the only condensed view
Of the changes and alterations In chemi-
cal doctrine, which the discoveries Of the
"a It ten years have suggested. No apol-
ogy therefore can be necessary tor re-
printing such book in this country; for
the press does not fsrnish a substitute
for It. But, there is SO much theoretical
su ygeston-so much abstruse calculation
so much fact OF dubious authority--and
80 much dubious validity-that notes and
illustrations are absolutely necessary,
not merely to render the book more use.
full, but more ineligible.
Under these Impressions, l thought lit
70 write notes in illustration land some
times in contradiction OF the work itself,
rather than to make any abridgement OF
il. Those who wish to know the modern
views Of chemical science, mrst peruse
it +; and to very many who will be anxious
to study it, calculation will be necessary.
[ have endeavoured to supply these, to
the best of my ability regardless whe
Their my own opinions are in dissonance
or coincidence with those OF my author /;
leaving to the reader to decide between
US.
The work will be published, with notes
and illustrations, in four volumes svo.
