A New Theory. —Dr. S.M. Metcalf has just published a work in which he endeavors to show, that terrestrial magnetism and electricity are the same; and that “most striking analogies of caloric and electricity shew that they are radically the same subtle, imponderable, and all pervading element; that its unequal distribution thro’-out nature, is the cause of all the various attractions of ponderable matter.”— N.Y. Bap. Reg.
