A BULL IN THE LONDON UNIVERSITY.
OUR readers will have observed, from the advertisements which have appeared in the daily prints, that the several Professors of the London University are about to commence their labours. If it be the determination of the Council to " take the bull (not the John Bull) by the horns," they are much indebted to their Chemical Professor fbr having furnished them with a true Irish monster for their experiment. The curious reader is requested to turn to the first .chapter of Dr. TURNERS System of Chemistry, in which he will find it most satisfactorily proved, that caloric has never yet been wholly abstracted from any substance, because, if any body whatever be reduced to the lowest possible temperature, it will, on being carried into-a still colder atmosphere, suffer a farther reduc- tion! This gentleman, no doubt, will prove a valuable servant to
the Institution, and instruct their Committee how they may accom- modate any additional auditors, after their theatres are packed to the fullest extent.
