In the year 1744, the attention of the public was greatly excited by a series of enquiries con cerning the virtues of Tar Water, by the cele brated Bishop Berkeley. The learned Prelate con sidered tar water as a panacea, and notices its great effects in diseases inflammatory as well as atonic. In the year 1748, Dr. Hales first observed the great difference between the tar of fir trees, as imported from the Baltic, and that which spon taneously arises from the springs in Barbadoes. Tar water made from the latter natural product, although very efficacious in a variety of cutaneous affections, yet is soft, mild, and no ways disagree• able to the taste. In the year 1750, the Rev. Griffith Hughes, Rector of St. Lucy's parish, published a volumi nous folio on the Natural History of Barbadoes, and therein describes an oily bituminous exudation issuing from some hills, and confined to two pa-' rishes. The best, he observes, is from the parish of St. Andrews, of a deep olive green, and found very beneficial in paralytic and nervous disorders, and its medicinal qualities are held in the highest repute ; and to evince its great diffusive properties, he says, when a horse has been dosed with it, and which is frequently the case, when he begins to be warm upon his journey, the rider will smell the tar very strong. In the year 1756, Mr. Warner, an eminent surgeon of Guy's Hospital, particularly noticed the superior properties of the Petroleum Barba dense, to that imported from Norway or Ame rica. He has given many interesting cases, evincing its admirable effects as an embrocation in diseases of the larger joints, as well as in'many af fections of the tendons and ligaments, and warmly recommended to practitioners the employment of the genuine Barbadoes tar. In the year 1769, Dr. Hilliary published an in teresting work on the yellow fever of Barbadoes, and particularly recommends, in tetanic and spas modic affections, the Petroleum Berbadense as an embrocation, dissolved in rum. At this period, Dr. Kirkland extensively em ployed an ammoniacal solution of the Barbadoes tar, in diseases of the hip and other joints, with the greatest success, and was equally so at Bartho lomew's Hospital and the Westminster Infirmary, and in the Medico-Chirurgical Pharmacopoeia was introduced the Linimentum Bitumin. Barbadense Ammon. A very interesting communication was made by a Mr. Pigott, in the year 1793, who par ticularly recommends the olive green oil known by the name of the Pottery. lie minutely describes its effects in a most severe leprous case, which was completely cured in <three months by its in ternal use, and of its equal success in dispersing a schirrous tumour of the breast, from its l eing ap plied with a warm hand, in the form of an embro cation, to the part affected, covering it afterwards with a piece of bladder. In the year 1806, Dr. Pinckard, who was Staff Physician at Barbadoes, particularly describes the springs from whence this valuable material arises ; and both Dr. Ainslie and Dr. Fleming have noticed the admirable effects of the rock oil, as .more efficacious than the •Cajeput Oil, in all rheumatic affections, and cases of epilepsy, hys teria, and palsy, by rubbing it on the parts more immediately affected, with the hand, in the form of a liniment. It has been found internally very beneficial in Ascarides and Tape Worm, by in jection, and in cutaneous affections, may be em ployed with the greatest advantage in the form of a bath. In consequence of the high duty imposed on the importation of Barbadoes Tar, certain large che mical establishments were induced to prepare an imitation, and they so far succeeded in the sale, that, for the last 30 years, the general supply has proceeded from these sources ; for, during that pe riod, it appears from official returns, that no im portation of this article has taken place. Hence a spurious mineral tar, greatly different in its quality, and also inferior in its medicinal properties,has been . substituted for the indigenous produce of this wind . ward island. ON THE CHEMICAL CHARACTERS OF THE MINERAL OILS OF BARBADOES. Chemists generally consider naptha as the only fluid sub ' Mom formed by a binary combination of carbon and hydro gen ; Dr. Henry says it is a combination of 6 atoms carbon, and b atoms of hydrogen—therefore its equivalent number u 41—viz. 41 lbs. of naptha are funned by the combina tion of 36 lbs of carbon, and 5 lbs of hydrogen. Dr. Thomson, with the peroxide of copper, found 3 per cent. deficiency, and which he concluded to be mote ; and Dr. Ure deduced from his analysis that oxygen constituted one portion of it. This discrepancy is considered to area from some water in the petroleum from the naptha hi distilled. With respect to its general character, the pottery more resembles naptha then any other bituminous substance ; it is xpecibeally heavier than naptha—naptha being .869, and the pottery is 94. and boils at 204—its capacity of heat (atomic moments) is so tow that even at this temperature the hoed; by immersion, will not be materially injured. A wine-glass of the' filtered solution of common tar leaves a disagreea ble greasy taste in the mouth, aid in duces • ma wk i sh sensation almost amounting to nausea f whilst the lame quantity •of the pottery solution is aro matic, no ways disagreeable to the Aare or the stomach, and the - effects rather cordial and more per ... imonia readily unite with the Barbadoes alkalies form-silk emulsion with it and ~ &CU UM.

In the distillation of the spurious and the Barbadoes tar, the latter yielded more naptha, and left a very small resi duum ; what came over did not retain the rich dark olive green which characterises the pottery ; to what cause may be attributed this peculiar colour, I have not yet satisfac torily ascertained. I have already noticed the existence of a chalybrate spring highly charged with iron, contiguous to the pottery, and hence it might be reasonably suspected that the colour arises from some ferruginous impregnation; all my examinations have not evinced any such metallic com bination. The specific gravity of naptha is 867, estimating water at 1000, petrolium 178 ; maltha varies from 1460 to 2088, and asphaltum from 8070 to 1850 the pottery tar 020. The excellent experiments of Mr. Faraday most satisfac torily demonstrate many distinctive properties between the green tar and the spurious tar, although analysts resolves the Barbadoes oil into carbon and hydrogen, yet there is sea son to suppose some other principles which elucidate she. apical investigation. From thedescription of the varieties of naptha given to us •by Wallerius, as natural productions, they are reducible to men :- 1. White naptha. 2. Red naptha. S. Green or dark naptha. 4. Petroleum mixed with earth. 5. Petroleum exuding from stones. 8. Petroleum floating on water. 7. Mineral pitch or malths. I have bad specimens of naptha ftom Penis and Italy ; I have not as yet seen any with the dark green tinge of the pottery, and with a similar corresponding flavour. In the Tines Capitia, or those scurvy eruptions of the head, more particularly observable in children, the Unguen tum Pixie,' combined with mercury, has been long em ployed. I have lately substituted an =maniacal solution of the liarbadoes Tar with the greatest advantage; and ftom the result of trials made by different practitioners in this city, we feel justified in recommending its employment in all he and impetiginous complaints. r Ainslie says, that the Tamool doctors, in the East Indies, order rock oil (which resembles Barbadoes Tar), as an external remedy in rheumatic complaints, as also in cases of epilepsy, hysteria, and palsy. It is rubbed on the part with the hand, in the fonts of a liniment; and In chronic rheumatism, Dr. Fleming declares he can, from his own experience, recommend it as an efficacious remedy. When the liarbadoes Naptha is either externally em ployed or internally taken, it is by the absorbent system quickly distributed through every part of the animal frame, as is evidenced by the odour imparted to all the secretions. From this principle of active diffusibility, the Barbadoes Naptha embrocation, and the Naptha taken internally, would be likely to pr oduce the desired effect, particularly those affections of the bronchial glands and urinary btaMer noticed by Dr. Treader and Mr. Lawrence. There are few medicines whose agency extends beyond the stomach and the alimentary canal, hence the gene rality of diseases may be considered as remedied by sym pathetic influence ; but Naptha possesses the advantage of being conveyed to every part of the human frame wherever the absorbent Teasels are present, and to this more immediate influence on the seat of affection may be attributed the admirable effects which have already been experienced. Since the printing of these sheets, Dr. Msycock, to whom I referred at the commencement of this work, has published an interesting Catalogue of Plants, indigenous, naturalised, and cultivated in Barbadoes ; to which is prefixed a concise geological description of the island. He observes, that the calcareous deposits are the results of the spoils of zoophytes, as several portions of the Madreporse, Millepone, Continuo, Alcyonia, are found, and that reliqute of humau bodies similar to those in Ouadaloupe, are found in sandstone incrustations. He remarks, that in that part of the island which has been I denominated Scotland, and below the Cliff, is the base of the clay hills, from whence the Green Mineral Oil arises, and particularly notices its beneficial effects in leprosy and tots. nus ' externally employed acting as a stimulant, and inter. ternally as an aperient, diaphoretic, and diuretic. I noticed in my chemical observations, that the Barbados, Naptha derived, probably, some of its virtues from an ins. pregnation of iron. This supposition appears now to be satisfactorily confined, by the account given by Mr. Cal. deeot, of large masses of clay, finely divided silex, and iron, in the vicinity of these springs ; and the specimens he has brought to England evince t h eir progressive formation by deposits on a Nucleus, so as to prevent a laminated ap pearance, not unlike the concentric partitions of an onion; the layers differently] tinged, some with a deep' rich red, calculated to form the basis of a valuable colour, and others of a brilliant yellow. Some interesting specimens may be seen at the Kingston Pump Room, Bath. Mr. Thomas Roscoe has prefixed to the first vo lume of his Novelist Series, a Life of Defoe, for which the nation will feel thankful to him. Defoe was one of those original thinking geniuses, who could not be endured by the common-place men, and the small thinkers of his day ; and it required the lapse of a century to arrive at such a focal dis tance as would enable mankind to view him dis tioctly. Mr. R. has done him justice, and the world yet owes him a long arrear of debt. How could Mr. R. however appeal to the feeble time serving creatures whose testimonials he has put in a string—might he not, with more effect, have quoted Rousseau, himself another Defoe, or have appealed to human nature, or even to the magical words Robinson Crusoe ? Defoe was the Cobbett of his day, and a-sort of man who never would bare been elected into the Royal Society of Litera ture, charitably supported by the Literary Fund, or countenanced by any close corporation. Yet such a man was put in Newgato, and three times in the pillory ; and we still laud Queen Anne and her Whig ministry ! We need not recommend Robin son Crusoe—but we earnestly recommend Mr. Roscoe's Life of the Author, except where he quotes stars of the fifth magnitude as authorities for the splendour of the sun ! I I Cu EMICAL SCIENCE.—AnimaI and vegetable substances may be arranged under three classes— 'acids, alkalies, and neutrals. The class of acids presents many substances of great utility, either in the arta, or for seasoning food. The alkalies con- 1 tale almost all the powerful medicines that are drawn from the vegetable kingdom. The neutral bodies are important as articles of food, and am applied, too, to many other purposes of first-rate utility. All these bodies are compos ed (chiefly, at least) of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and azota.-- substances easily procured abundantly at a cheap rate. Should chemists, in consequence of the know ledge acquired by future investigations, ever arrive at the knowledge of the mode of forming these principles from their elements at a cheap rate, the prodigious change which such a discovery would make upon the state of society must be at once evi dent. Mankind would be, in some measure, iude pendent of climate and situation ; every thing could be produced at pleasure in every part of the earth ; and the inhabitants of the warmer regions would no longer be the exclusive possessors of comforts and conveniences to which those in less favored regions of the earth are et:angers. If, however, the science advance for another century with the same rapidity that it has done during the last fifty years, it,will produce effects upon society of which the present race can form no adequate idea. Our PANORAMA has recorded at least twenty incendiary fires within the last month, and some of them of great extent. They indicate, beyond doubt, the existence of dissatisfaction, from causes which hanging and transporting do not cure.— The disease and the remedy will, we trust, come under the consideration of Parliament ; for it is an infatuation of pride to affect blindness to the evils of the cause, and the greater evils of the present Consequences. PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. COLCHESTER GA Z ETTE-J E 20. LETTER TO THE EDITOR. Mr. Editor—ln accordance with the promise I gave to se veral of my brother freeholders, I submit to their considera tion, through the medium of the publiciwints, tbe following 'tenement as to my paymeots for the aion Contest, in which Mr. Haney was engaged as my AVM. I have received no other account from lie. Harvey. To this account I request the attention of those persons who have Still outstapaiog claims against me, and I ask them if I should not be a fitter member of St. Lulus's; than of St. Stephen's, if, with such an account before me, I did other. wise than refuse payment of any demands now claimed of me, until I received an account mon in detail. I fiod, that independent of the account marked, I have furnished, in all, money to the amount of 18,0001. which has not passed through Mr. Harvey's hands, and that the total of my accounts delivered amount to 23,0001. affecting my election expenses for the year 1830. So that I think lam entitled to claim from the freehold ers of Essex the feputation of having been more prompt in my payments than most candidates for electioneering ho nours, when 1 add also that this 18,0001. was expended and paid within the fourteen days' duration of the contest. Mr. Harvey has consented, I understand, to submit his entire accounts in detail to the gentleman I have appointed to transact my business in Essex, Mr. Cutts ; when be has so done, and I haws given them a careful examination, I will provide for their total liquidation, in that spirit which I stated to Mr. Thorogood it mislay intention to adopt with out favour to any one. I have troubled the public with this detail, in order that my friends and opponentsmay have this additional testimony of my sincerity, and that they may also perceive that I did not advance to the contest OEIB3O, without having at m command sufficient fiends to meet every expenditure whi c h could ban been contemplated. Ido not think it too much to assert, that properly applied, 18,0101. aught to have paid to the full satisfaction all claimants of 23,0061. of elec tioneering bills. However, I hold myself responsible to pay to the FULL all fair claims against me now outstanding, after they shall have undergone Mr. Cutts' and my own in. niption. W. L. WELLESLEY. .

Noavrica Poltr.—A new harbour has been for some time forming at the entrance of the Lake Lothiog, below Nor wich, by means of which that salient city will become a 'seaport, On Friday, the 3d net. the Int vessel, the'Ruby yacht, of 50 tons, entered the lake through the lock, from the sea. Some of the circumstances attending the admis sion of the sea water into the lake were particularly strik ing. The salt water entered the lake with a strong under current, over which the fresh ran out to the sea. The fresh water was gradually raised to the surface, and the entire body of water in the lake was elevated above its former level. At a short distance from the lock, in the lake, there was a clearly defined line where the salt water might be taken up in one band, and the fresh in the other. The admission of the salt water proved fatal to thousands of the inhabitants of the lake, and its surface was seen covered with dead pike carp, perch, bream, roach, and dace. It is a singular fact that a pike of about 20 pounds' weight was taken up dead, in the stomach of which a herring was found entire. The population of Chelmsford is as follows: Males, 2514 Females, 292%.—Insane since last census, 446.

The property is estimated at upwards if 3,0001. and was insured in the Norwich office for 1,01101. • All accounts state, that there is no doubt that the fire was , caused by an Incendiary. On Thursday morning, between two and three o'clock, the family Mansion of St. Thomas's Hill, near Canterbury, was discovered to be on fire. The affair is involved in the greatest mystery, but there is too much reason to believe that it wu the act of an incendiary. Man, valuable Pie tures, besides furniture, were destroyed.

It may be remarked. as a curious illustration of the influ ence the Tories still retain In the public offices, that the newspapers chosen for the publication of Government adver tisements, are decided and untiring opponents of the present ministry and the reform bill, whilst those advertisements which are paid foe out of the public purse, are carefully withheld from the Journals friendly to reform. As it was cal during the late Dublin election, that the government hod an opportunity of forming any notion of the force of the enemy in its own camp, we think to throw out this suues den, in ()icier that some inquiry may be directed by Lord Anglesey, regarding the coodoct of the officer from whose department the orders for the publication of official &dyer demote are issued.

DISCOVERY OE ANCIENT Psar2.—During the last week a quantity of ancient plate has been brought up from the bed of our river by the dredging vessel which is moored off the King's Quay, at Biackrock ; the cover of a massive tea-urn, which was richly gilt; six silver forks ; and some spoons, crested with a dove bearing the olive blanch; a bilge gravy-spoon, with the crest of a band and thistle ; a cap and some salvers, on which are engraved a coat of acme—via. a lion rampart, with the O'Brien quarteringe—a *pular basin, two salts, the spoqt of a coffee-pot, two small cups, arid the handles of two knives.

This is not the only instance of the kind that has reached es; and on Sunday last the Reverend P. Fallon, P. P. of Liscannor, addressed his flock from the altar, on the ninon tendency of the late disorders, reading for them the proceedings of the late commission from the Clare Sentinel, with the remarks of the editor, which he explained to them in the Irish language, and it had such effect upon them as to elicit simultaneous acclamation from-the assembled thou sands of their abhorrence of the crimes that lately disgraced the county, and in proof of their sincerity , over 300 of the Ftedon repaired to the only two farms turned up in the , namely , the glebe lands of Archdeacon Whiny and belonging to Mr. Lyddy, and although the rain was falling in torrents, not a man left the fields until evert sod was replaced.

PRIROGATITE COURT, JUNE 18. JUDOMENTWIIZELKIL •ND NATsroau T. ALDERSON. Sir .701Ilf Ntcou. gave judgment this morning in this ex traordinary will cause. The Learned Judge went over the whole facts of the case which have been already before the public. The deceased , Mn. Morris, be was of opinion, had shewn a perfect eapadty ; she had managed her own affairs properly, and had increased her property. Though she had habituated herself to excessive drinking, which for a time induced her to totally abandon the modesty of her sex, to indulgd in strange and eccentric conduct, yet, that when so briety returned, she was capable of performing the common acts of life. The Learned Judge, at considerable length, referred to the testamentary acts of the deceased, in which she had sbewa an adherence to her original intention to benefit those from whom she had received attention. He thought the evidence on the part of Mr. Alderson, the next of kin, and opposer of the will, was wholly at v ariance with facts. The accounts of the indecent, immoral, and disgusting acts of the deceased were much exaggerated, and he attributed much of the essggerstlon to the d is appointed hopes of some of the witnesses. Under all the circumstances, be must there fore pronounce for the will, with costs. The Learned Judge tree two hours in giving judgment. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Just 18. WOOD V. PARNELL.

MANSION HOUSZ.—A CAPACIOUS BED.— Saturday, Mr. Golams brought twenty-five men before the LOYD BIATOI, charged with having, in conjunction with about two hundred others, made a bed-room of Billingsgate-mar. ket, Many of the visitors to this favourite hotel were lurk ing about the Mansion House, to ascertain by the result whether they should be obliged to shift their quarters. Mr. Goldhain stated that for some time a number of poor but honest men, who had no settled residence, had been in the habit of retiring from the streets to the market to lie down under cover, and as he knew their condition he never dia. curbed them. Abuse, however, crept in, in the persons of a couple of hundred of the greatest ruffians that could be congregated. The other sea very soon began to fancy a share in this spacious chamber, and he, finding that the burdens of the parish were likely to be increased if be permitted such a contempt of the regulations to be persevered in, resolved to put the whole assem blage to the route. He accordingly, on Friday, gave directions to the officers of the muket not to allow an eye to be closed about the shambles. The accommodations. however, were too Important to be given up without a strug. gle, and the lodgers swore they would not be deprived of a night's rest, if they were to surer death for their resistance. Mr. Goldham at first expostulated with them ; but several of them deliberately pulled out their knives, and vowed if he disturbed their repose any more he should sleep himself with a vengeance. Under these circumstances it was thought expedient to let them have their sleep out ; and, just as they were rising In the morning, the above mentioned twenty-live were apprehended and conveyed to the Comp eer. The Lord Mayor said he thought the best way of dis posing of the defendants would be to send them off, one and all, to Bridewell, where they would not only have sleep, but work to make sleep palatable. Mr. Goldham said he very much feared, although he had succeeded in reforming the habits and principles of Billinapte, he should not yet be able to reform its manners. The language which was let off at him, from both sexes, sur passed any thing he had ever heard ; but he felt it but jus tice to state, that there was not a single fishwotnan present —(Laughter.) One of the defendants said that he had never slept in the market before, and never intended to do so again, the boatmen began to make a noise at so early an hour. He bad slept In the Old Flemmarket, in the pens in Smithfield, under the arches of London Bridge, and in St. Michael's burying ground, but he never slept in so uncomfortable a bed es Mr. °Wham's ; in fact, a man had no business to go to sleep there except he got blind drunk, and no respectable man would do that—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR gave directions to the officers to ap. prebend every person (man, woman, or child) whom they should find sleeping at Billingsgate. His Lordship sent several of the defendants to Bridewell, and the rest he dis charged. M•111.110101IGN•STREET.-011 Saturday, Mr. Harrison, the pawnbroker, of Wardour-street, made further interest ing communica tions respecting the accomplished swindler. Wheatley, as he thought it important the Foreign Office should adopt measures to secure his apprehension. From a letter Mt. Harrison bad just received from M. Bonny, of the Hotel de l'Europe, Place Royale, Brussels, it appeared that the accused was still practising a series of deceptions in several of the Continental cities. At Dresden he had recently personated the Marquis of Clanricarde ; and at Brussels and other places he had assumed the title of Earl Grosvenor, a boy now returned to England passing as Viscount Belgrave, his Lordship's heir apparent The writer stated that having lately perused an account in a Morning paper of his proceedings in the shape of an application of Mr. Harrison to Sir George Farrant, lie was led to believe that he was the same person who, in the early part of February had defrauded him to a consider able amount, by representing that he was nearly milled to Earl Grosvenor, and was then on his way to Hanover. ac companied by Lord Belgrave, who he was going to place at college in that city. With so much cunning was every thing arranged that so suspicion was excited of Wheatley, inte pity, and be remained for a week at the• Hotel de 1 Europe, living in the first style. M. Bonny suggested to him, with great deference, that u Hanover was then very unsettled , in conse quence of a revolution having broken out there, It might DO! be prudent to travel. He said he would set of for Hanover.sad as he represented he was short of cask, be wash feel infinitely obliged if M. Bonny would accept a bill for 28L on Costa's house. From the ease sold eleganceof his manner, M. Bonny did not refuse, especially as he was the relative of a noble. man so distingnllssitteedd and opulent es Earl Grosvenor. Har ing received the money they departed in a caleche. It is scarcely necessary to add that the bill was returned disho noured, and M. Ronny was required to pay 21. more for ex. ponces. The swindler defrauded him of a travelling carriage, thus making five vehicles he had dishonestly obtained en the Continent; and he was therefore anxious that be might be apprehended. Mr. Harrison added, that he had comm. nicated the purport of M. Bonny's letter to Earl Grosvenor, and it was therefore possible that his Lordship would con sult with the Magistrates on the subject. Mr. DYER said he should be most happy to be honourel with his Lordship's commands, and also to render Mr. Har rison any assistance to bring the swindler to justice. QURRN 81111,11/L.-41101•ULT ON A 11•0111111• Ti On Saturday, CON/11 Stanislaw Petewski, a Polish No bleman, who has only been a abort time In this country, was charged with violently assaulting W. A. Wane, Esq one of the Magistrates of this Office. Mr. White, having been sworn, stated that ae he was passing along the Strand, about two o'clock in the afternoon. the defendant came behind him and struck him two violent blows on the back of his bead, and then ran away. It appeared that after the assault was commited Mr. White applied for a warrant in the usual way, which was en misled to Handley and Woodberry, the officers, and they swelemeded the Count at Salters Hotel, Covent Garden. aM knight him in a coach to the office. During the time Mr. 'White was giving his evidence, the prisoner conducted himself in the most violent manner, and threw his glov es in I the magistrate's face. Mr. White said Abet he had we little doubt but the prisoner was tabooing under mental de rangement. It may be recollected that a few months ago this unfortunate nobleman was brought before Mr. White. by one of the inspectors of the T. division of police, charged wick resenting a loaded pistol at one of the sentinels on duty at Knightsbridge Barracks. The prisoner, on bring asked what be bad to ass, abused the magistrates in the grossest manner, and made use of the most opprobrious epithets. The magistrates, after consulting together. di. rected the officers to saki the Count to Dr. Sutbesisses establishment in Bleckland's-lane, Chelsea, to which place he was conveyed until his friends could be informed of his situation. of The Neapolitans have three words by which to express their degree of lilies or disliking the pool of their acquaintance : sympetice, valise, autipalin; the first tern; is,acl o i nd ed to those who excite a plesaurailt sentiment ; tht to those who are viewed with Old:t -hrum t the third to those who cause a movement at kat approximating to disgust.
