cesses as well as the most refined arts of life. New laws 

 cannot be discovered in it without increasing our admira- 

 tion of the beauty and order of the system of the universe — 

 no new substances brought to light without being, sooner 

 or later, applicable to some purposes of utility. The per- 

 fection of chemical philosophy is connected, said the Pro- 

 fessor, not only with our national riches but with our 

 national alory. All new knowledge leads to new power, 

 and physical and moral science aie ultimately connected. 

 An accurate acquaintance with the laws of nature leads to 

 a deeper feeling of the power and wisdom of the Author of 

 nature, and philosophy thus becomes the exalted instru- 

 ment for connectiuir faith and reason.

Constant, an eminent French chemist, has arrived 

 from Paris, to exhibit a much abbreviated process for mak- 

 ing and baking loaf sugar. In one day, he is able to make 

 as much of this article as can be done in eight by the pro- 

 cess now in use ; ?,-id his process has this advantage, thai 

 as no animal matter whatever is used, no noxious fumes 

 arise, and the operation may be eflected in a common sit- 

 ting-room. — M. Constant has repeatedly exhibited his pro- 

 cess before numerous parties of scientific gentlemen and 

 sugar refiners, all of whom have declared iheniselves per- 

 fectly satisfied as to its practicability and utility ; and by 

 their advice he is about to secure his interest in the disco- 

 very by a patent. 



Mr. Bonnycastle, Professor of Mathematics in the 

 Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, has in the press a 

 new work, which will speedily be published, under the 

 title of *' A Treatise on Algebra, in Practice and Theory, 

 methodically arranged in two Parts, and adapted to the pre- 

 sent State of the Science ; together with Notes and Illustra- 

 tions, containing a great Varictv of Particulars relating to 

 the Discoveries and Improvements that have been made in 

 this Branch of Analysis." 



The work will be printed in two moderate sized octavo 

 volumes, and is designed to iorni the second and third 

 parts of the author's inteiidcd general course of mathema- 

 tics, of which several of the succeeding branches are neatly 

 ready for publication, and will be sent to press as soon as 

 they are finished.
