A late letter from Calcutta Pays, the Oil which
is found in the bowels of the earth, in the Burrnah
dominions, is of a very peculiar quality. To ob-
tain it, they fink wells to the depth of one hundred
cubits. The Oil is drawn pure from the wells in
the liquid Rate as tiled, without variation ; it is of
a dingy green, and odorous. One family, per-
haps, will pofefs four or five wells; the coil of
finking a new well, is about 2500 ficca rupees,
and the annual average net -tow& is about 1250
ficca rupees. It is remarkable, that no water
ever percolates through the earth in the wells, as
has been fuppofed. When a well grows dry, they
deepen it, and none are abandoned for barrennefs.
The Oil is excellent in preferving wood from de-
cay, and is likewife celebrated for its medicinal
properties. The grofs amount of all the wells, per
annum, is ellimated at 289,737 ficca rupees.
