The Emperor of Austria had ordered, until the more formal institution of a Polytechnic School in Vienna, that a public course of lectures should be delivered, explaining the application of Chemistry to the Arts, its importance to the purposes of artists, manufacturers, &c. This is to be continued on every Sunday in the year. Το carry this plan into execution; invitation has been given to the heads of dif ferent professions, who may be willing to afford assistance. 1. To form a fund by means of voluntary donations.-2, To select a man fit for the purpose of conducting the proposed establishment.-S. To fix his salary, and the general expences.-4. To present a plan for the lectures intended. In consequence of this application, from authority, the masters have replied.-1. That these lectures should be perfectly clear and popular.-2. That their principal object should be, to explain to the laborious workmen the chemical combinations and processes in use, separately from the mechanic operations, and to induce them to work according to fixed rules, founded on established chemical principles.-3.That General Chemistry should be taught in such a manner, as to shew the application of its principles to arts and trades, and to explain this to pupils and apprentices by experiments.-4. That at the end of each course of lectures, a few sittings should be held, destined to explain more particularly the marks of goodness and fitness in materials employed, with the means of detecting falsification. M. Joseph Prechtl, Professor in the University of Vienna, is proposed to fill the highest chair of instruction, with a salary of five hundred florins; to which is added the sum of three hundred florins for an assistant. The sum allotted to experiments is fixed at four hundred florins per annum. The voluntary contributions towards forwarding this plan of instruction, amounted, two years ago, to the sum of 295,972 florins; which has proved sufficient to form a permanent fund, the interest of which has hitherto covered all expences. DENMARK. Northern Literature. The learned at Copenhagen have been very much engaged, lately, in attention to the ancient literature of the North, and in publishing the result of their researches. VOL. IV. No. 22. Lit Pan, N. S. July 1. The principal works which have appeared since the year 1813, are the following 1. Lexicon Islandico-Latino-Danicum by Bivern Halforden. 2. The last volume of the Kiaempevisen, or War Songs; which also contains the Musical Melodies. The whole is now complete in two volumes. 3. The second volume of the Edda Saemundi. This volume contains the songs of the heroes which have any reference to the ancient History of Germany, to the Song of the Niebelungen, and to the Book of Heroes. 4. A memoir on the importance of the study of the Icelandic language, by Profes sor Müller, in Danish. The impression of the Supplement to Ihre's Glossary is not yet begun. Professor Rasch who has distinguished himself by his writings on the Icelandic language, is returned to that island for the advantage of further acquisitions in that Study. At the Scandinavian Society, of Copen hagen, April 5, Professor Hornemann read a Memoir, written by Lieut. Wormskiold, on the Geographical Situation of 'Ancient Greenland. New Mill: rewarded. In the sitting of the Society of Sciences of Copenhagen, March 31, the Society awarded a gratification of seventy-five crowns to M. Oestrup, for the invention of a mill for grinding Tobacco, of which he presented a model. In the same sitting Bishop Münter read a memoir on the religion of the Carthaginians. Counsellor Classen has given the sum of 2,000 crowns towards the expenses of printing the great Danish Dictionary, pub. lished by the Society. Almanacks, Improvement of. The central administration of the Patriotic Society of Sleswick Holstein has propo sed a prize of twelve ducats on a subject that is certainly of considerable importance to the lower ranks of society. It is-To furnish a collection of popular memoirs proper to appear in the Yearly Almanacks, comprising observations suited to the capacity of the inferior classes, on subjects interesting to the country at large. The intention of this proposal is evident; it is to banish the nonsense which from generation to generation has descended in these vehicles of popular instruction.

Roses and Lilies. The Work on Lillies, by M. Redouté, which has been some years in a course of publication, is at length concluded in Eighty numbers, forming eight volumes in folio: the price is 3,200 fr. ( £150) subscription price. This seems to be a sufficient homage paid to a single flower, which however, presents among the curious, a great variety of species, each marked by its proper form, manners, and beauties. M. Redouté, whose work on Lillies is now closed, proposes to direct his attention to a similar work on Roses. He observes, very justly, that the culture of the Rose is of late become a subject of study among a great number of naturalists and amateurs: -that most gardens of any magnitude, contain collections of roses, more or less extensive; while this beautiful flower, by its form, its fragrance, and its colours, has established its reputation, as an object of fashion, and, in short, may be deemed popular. When the Rose was less in request, a small number of varieties was all that was known; and these were placed in gardens without much consideration or display; but, now, the number of beautiful species is increased, and these are more sought after and preferred. The Author proposes to treat the Rose as he has already treated the Lilly; that is to say, to furnish an exact representation of each species, drawn from nature, with a summary description; the whole coloured, &c. with strict fidelity. The subscription price for each number, containing six plates, is about sixteen shillings. Dr. Montucci occupies himself incessantly in advancing his Dictionary of the Chinese Language. About the end of the The principal French Journals, at present, in a course of publication, are, Magazin Encyclopedique, or Journal of Sciences, Letters, and Arts; by the Chevalier Millin.

The fertility of the German writers is astonishing, says an author; if any body doubts it, let him examine the Bibliotheque of Belles Lettres, or Catalogue of the best works which have appeared in Germany, in the department of novels, poems, theatrical pieces, collections, theoretical works, and translations, printed at Berlin. The whole exceeds eighty pages in octavo. Liberal Donations: encouragement. The Elector of Hesse has assigned a sum of 4,000 rix-dollars, for the revival and encouragement of several establishments appertaining to the University of Marburgh; such as the library, the botanic 613] garden, the institution of midwifery, the che Learned Societies resumed. After a long interruption the Society of Natural History at Halle has resumed its sittings.

The Botanical Society at Ratisbon, has resumed the publication of its Transactions in a new series, of which one (or two) volumes is published, in large quarto.-tical This work, with many others, had been interrupted by public circumstances; it will now, we trust, proceed without inter missiou. The first Memoir describes the present state of Botanical Studies, and urges the necessity of facilitating the acquisition of them. Other papers relate to various plants, &c. Society of Sciences at Gottingen. In the sitting of Nov. 9, 1814, was read a Report on a new Method of unrolling the MSS. found at Herculaneum. The author, M. Sickler, requested the Society to name a Committee to examine his method; with this the Society complied; they give their opinion that the method has succeeded very well, with certain papers and cards, partially burnt, of which specimens were shewn; but whether it would succeed with the Herculaneum MSS. themselves, in their different states of carbonization, could only be determined by experiments made on the MSS.
