Mr. FISCHER, of Schaffhausen, has succeeded, by means of powerful heat, in obtaining regulus of manganese with great facility. This metal is whitish and harder than tempered steel; it cuts class nearly as well as diamond, and scratches rockcrystal. It takes a very fine polish, but M. Pictet, who has examined some specimens of it, doubts whether such polish would be durable, on account of the great affinity of the metal for oxygen. When put into water for twenty-four hours, it became covered with a brown oxide. It sensibly attracts the magnetic needle, and probably is not free from iron. The mean specific gravity of all these specimens is 7,467. The vitreous scoria which covers the metal in fusion is an opaque substance of a dull green colour, which, in the opinion of Mr. Fischer, may be serviceable in painting. Mr. T. FORSTER has ascertained, from numerous experiments with small air-balloons, that in general the currents of air which occupy the higher regions of the atmosphere afterwards descend and blow over the earth's surface in the same direction as they have previously blown above. In nine experiments, made during two consecutive years, each balloon met with three currents, the directions of which became successively the directions of the currents next the earth within the space of 36 hours. Mr. EDMUND DAVY, chemist and secretary to the Cork Institution, has made a series of experiments on the composition of the atmospheric air in the most infected wards of the Fever Hospital of that city. It was collected from different parts of the rooms, and in every experiment gave as a result precisely the same quantity of oxygen gas, 21 per cent, as enters into the constitution of the most exposed and free air. Fluor spar, though common in England, is very rare in Scotland. It is first mentioned as a Scottish fossil in the " Mineralogy of the Shetland Islands," as found in the island of Papa Stour. It was afterwards discovered forming a small vein in granite at Monaltree, Aberdeenshire; and Professor JAMESON has lately met with it in cavities in porphyry, near Gourock, Renfrewshire. Dr. HIBBERT, who last summer visited the Shetland Islands for the purpose of examining their mineralogy, found in them that very valuable ore, the chromate of iron, im masses of considerable size. This mineral, as is well known to the scientific reader, is rendered subservient to the formation of chromate of lead, a beautiful and mud esteemed yellow pigment. The doctor proposes to resume his investigations in this remote part of the British empire in the spring. BANKRUPTS FROM JANUARY 22, TO FEBRUARY 22, 1818, INCLUSIVE.
