[ A scientific friend has favoured us with the following interesting paper , containmg the introductory part of Mr . Dibdin ' s JLectiire at the Royal Institution , London , on Wednesday , January jjth ,. It gives a full and correct account of Mr . Davy ' s late discovery in Chemistry . JPor this discovery it will be remembered that the National
Institute of France adjudged to Mr , Davy the premium of 1 , 000 livres , which the . Emperor Napoleon- had promised to the best memoir on Galvanism , within a given period . Thjis scientific honour some of our wise and patriotic public prints have advised Mr . Davy to hurl pack on Gaul with disdain . Ed . J
u Before I solicit your attention to the opening of those lectures , Which I shall have the honour of delivering in the course of the season , permit me to trespass upon it for a few minute 3 , by stating the peculiar circumstances under "which this Institution is now again

The effects of those experiments recently made in illustration of his late splendid discovery , added to consequent bodily weakness , brought on a fever so violent * as to threaten the extinction of life .
Over him it might emphatically be said , in the language of our immortal Mikon , that . . . , , - „ , t Death his dart Shook , but delayed to strike .
If it had pleased Providence to deprive the world of allfurther benefit from his original talents and intense application * there has certainly been sufficient already effected by him , to entitle htm to be classed among the brightest scientific luminaries of his country * That thi »
may not appear to be unfounded eulogium , I shall proceed , at the particular request of the Managers tp give you an outline of the splendid discovery just alluded to— - . and I do it with the greater p leasure , as that outline ^ has been drawn wi a very masterly manner , by a gemie * man , of all ^ others , perhaps , the bust qualified to do it eflfectualiy .
