ADDRESS

At the commencement of their second year, the Proprietors
beg leave to invite the attention of the Public towards this Jour-
nal, which was commenced the Ist January, 1821, on a new and
very improved plan ; the Original Papers being printed in a
manner similar to those In the Quarterly and Edinburgh Reviews,
and the Miscellaneous Departments so arranged as to form a dis-
tinct volume ; thus combining in the same Work, the several
characters of a AlaoAusx, a Review, and an Attract. Reuters&
They also feel railed upon to express their obligations to their
numerous Subscribers for the very distinguished favour with
which their efforts have already been honoulltd, and which has
afforded the most incontrovertible proof, that the plan they
adopted was in strict unison with the liberality of the age, and
its present widely-extended literary taste. Thus encouraged,
they are authorised to state, that the utmost efforts of the Editor
will continue to be directed to the general amusement and In-
formation, aided by his extensive circle of contributors, within
which may be ranked names of the first celebrity In the Itepub-
lic of Letters.

ute, Kdisburgh ; and John Cumming, Dublin.

Dr. Granville, in the last :slumber of the Medical and Physi-
cal Journal, intrOduces the following high enlogium on this v.-
luable and generally-approved volume :—" We wish to recom-
mend to the attention of the Junior Students in Chemistry, a
work of much merit, entitled One Thousand Experiments in Che-
mistry, which contains more valuable and practical facts, in spe-
culative matters, the arts, and the manufactures of this country,
as well as copious illustrations of the principal theorems of che-
mical science, than are to be met with in many resent chemical
works of superior pretensions."
Similar opinions of the merits of the Work haire been excripe
by disinterested and enlightened chemists throughout
and America.

EMIGRA2'I(IN.

The following Memorandum is official :
s' Inquiries and applications having been addressed to the Cos
lonial Department, respecting emigration to his Majesty's fo-
reign possessions, it has been doomed ainvembent, with a vim
to the information and guidance of individuals interested in tide
subject, to state that—
" istly, Persons are not provided with passages at the public
I expense to any of Ms Majesty's settlensento
" 2dll, Persons proceeding at their own expense to North
1 America, and to the Cape of Good Hope, and desirous of set-
tling there, require no previous autkerky from his Majeuy's Se-
cretary of State to enable them to obtain grants of land, the Go-
vernors of those settlements being fully empowered to assign
lands to applicants, proportioned to the means which they actu.
ally possess for bringing them into a state of cultivation. The
extent of those grants must depend upon their quality, dons
and other circumstances which can only be ascertained ascerta the
Colony.

" 3dly, Persons desirous of settllut in New South Wales, cr
Van Dieman's Land, must be provided with the unction of his
Majesty's Secretary of &ate ; and this can only be obtained upon
written application, accompanied by references to two or more
respectable persons, as to the character of the applicant, and the
extent of his capital, which must amount to £5OO at the least.
Colonial Department, London, January, 1822."

Among the many peculiarities of the last year has
been the extreme depression of the mercurial column
in the barometer, which has fallen lower than has ever
been remarked by the author of this report, it having
sunk on the 24th of December to 2810, and again
on the 28th to 28-15. The nearest approach to this
within his observation was on the Bth of December,
1817, when it fell to 28-50. It may be curious to
some readers to be informed, by way of estimating
the levity of such an unusual state of the air, that a
pressure of about 20001bs. weight was removed from
their bodies; and that to the inhabitants of the upper
parts of Bath, the air was as light as on the top of
Skiddaw, when the barometer, at the level of the sea,
stands at what on the scale is marked fair, or SO inches.
The state of the public health, in such a year, might
be expected to be influenced by its anomalies, and
the prevalent diseases to partake of the inversion of
the seasons; and accordingly the catarrh and rheu•
matism of February and Witch made their several
visits in May and June; and cholera, the peculiar
disease of August, has appeared even down to De-
cember; the last case of this kind which occurred in
the practice of the writer of these remarks having
been on the 30th of that month. But in no instance
which has come within his knowledge has it proved
fatal. The protracted prevalence of this disease, suf-
ficiently explained by the unusually high temperature,
combined with moistures, which as far as our northerly
climate will admit, is perfectly the same state of at-
mosphere, modified by local caws, which has en,
gendered the mortal fever of Spain. Typhus, and
remitting forms of fever, arising from the same causes
as those producing the cholera already mentioned,
have been reported from the towns in the nei
hood, as well as from more distant parts; bi
both these species of disease, especially the
Bath has been comparatively free. The wi
these observations is more and aim e convinced

nuine typhus is a very rare disease in that city
which are popularly called typhus, have nothinj
typhus about them; being for the most part -
medical language is called Synochus, that is,
nued fever of a mixed and much milder kind,
though protracted, is rarely fatat. They ma,.
commodate them to a general term, be called typhoied,
or inclined to typhus; butare positively not the
mutt and too often fatal disease, properly so Called.
