Taviftock, lately difcoverod, is already producing a con- 

 fiderablc quantity of copper ore, as alio are Ibme other 

 inints of not long ftamling in the neighbourhood. A new 

 mine is going on, on Wheal Crowndale lode, to the weft of 

 that concern.

 Gunnis-Lake mine (copper lode running in granite) on the 

 Cornwall banks of the Tamar, and fome fpecimeus of fcaly 

 iron ore incumbent on cryllals of ciuartz fromWheal Crown-

 in Devon. 



ANTiaUKS. 



Mr. Holland, the architeft, is in polTcffion of a fine col- 

 leftion of antique fragments purchafed for him at Rome by 

 Mr. Tatham previous to the revolution. It confifts of fome 

 of the beft fpecirnens of ornamental fculpture,. and may 

 therefore be confidered as an acquifition to the country, as 

 the ftudy of fuch models ferves in an eminent degree to form 

 a correct tafte in fludents of architefture. 



Dr. Garnett'sLeSures on Zoonomia, or the laws of animal 

 life, which commenced on Wednefday, the 20th of January, 

 have excited confidcrable attention, on account of the novelty 

 of the fubjeft. In the firft le6lure, Dr. Garnett gave a ge- 

 neral defcription of tb.e human body, confidered as a machine 

 confiding of bones and mufcles, for the purpofes of motion, 

 at the inttance of its intelligent principle. He likcwife con- 

 fidered the various theories of fcnfation and mufcular motion, 

 and concluded the leAure with fome galvanic experiment?, 

 which feemed to fhow that eleftricity has a confiderable fiiare 

 in producing thcfe phaenomena. 



In the fecond le£lure, which was delivered on Saturday 

 lad, he proceeded to confider the nature of refpi ration, and 

 the caufe of animal heat. At the requeft of feveral friends 

 in the City, he intends to deliver this courfe in Cornhill every 

 Wednefday evenine:. 



A. and C. R. Aikin will begin a courfe of evening leftures 

 on various chemical manufa£lurcs, and tlic outlines of general 

 cheniiftry, on Monday the firft of March next. 



The let-lures will be twenty-eigh.t in number, and will be 

 given every Monday and Friday, at the Alderfgate Street 

 General Difpenfary.
