Sir Humphry Davy took the chair as President , in the sitting of Dec , 7 , &nd delivered an able and elegant discourse on the objects of tl * e Society , and its relation to other scientific institutions , which he concluded by expressing his confidence that the Fellows of the Royal
Society , in all their future researches ., would be guided " by that spirit of philosophy , awakened by our great masters , Bacon and Newton ; that sober and cautious method of inductive reasoning , which is the germ of truth an 4 of permanency in all the sciences , I trust , " he
said , " that those among 3 t us who are so fortunate as to kindle the light of new ili&eo varies , will use theaa , not for the purpose of da £ z ] ip& the organs of our intellectual vision , but rather to enlighten u « by shewing objects in their true forma and coiourcL That our philosopher ^ will attach no importance to hypotjieaeft , « x *

Ireland . An unusual calra has prevailed far some time , in this country , so lojag agitated with fierce storms and destructive tempests . To what is , tjiis owing ? In part , we believe * to the . wisdaoi and liberality of the government , aad especially
to the temper and conduct of the Right Hem , Ch * kj « ss Grant , Secretary to the Lord lieutenant , and the acting minister for Ireland . This gemtlejn&n is the object pf virulent abuse to the High-Church party in that country , and a Letter has been addressed to him by a , writer under the signature of Anglo ^ rUbernus ,
aviaiguiug him of the hijjfi crime , of associating with the open or msidipua enemies of the Established Church , of ej ^ cauraging ail the institutions of tbe sectaries ,, and of stretching o . ut the h < md of patronage to the Ucutuia Catholics and their priests . Tbie revUings of this Letter , which are eagerly repeated by the Aptija ^ ebitt
Review , are in the highest degree honourable to Mr . Grant . But for them , the attention of the English public woula not perhaps bave been drawn t . hie enlightened , liberal ppli £ y . In proportion as
bigots hate and traduce , candid and impartial meet wUl re&pect and honour blm , and we feel ouratilve * doing uifcty an aet of ji » stio 6 in challenging the gratitude &f our cadets on his hchaif , as «* nft of the bec ^ faetard of Ireland . ^•^ WWHi ^ 'WB ^
