 conditions. And any fpiritual perfon may take to farm to 

 himfelf or to any perfon or perfons, to his ufe, by leafe, 

 grant, words, or otherwife, for term of life or of years, or 

 at will, any mefTuage, manfion, or dweUing-houfe, with or

 CLOCK. In col. 53, 1. 18 from bottom, we have referred 

 to Pyuometer for the defcription of Troughton's new 

 inftrument, by which he tries the compenfation of his tubular 

 pendulums ; but on application both then and recently made 

 to him for permifTion to defcribe it, we were informed that 

 this inftrument has not yet been completely finifhed, and 

 confequently not defcribed by him. We can, however, now 

 give our readers fome idea of its principle and conftniftion' 

 withput a drawing. The pendulum is fufpended vertically 

 in an enclofed box of wood, made faft to a wall, and heated 

 with lamps placed within ; then a horizontal metaUic bar, 

 about thirty inches long, has one of its ends inferted through 

 the fide of the box into a hole made in the centre of ofcilla- 

 tion of the ball, wliilc the middle of it is fupported by a 

 (liort bearing-piece driven into tlie wall, and projefting a few 

 inches therefrom : on the remote end of this bar, a micro- 

 meter-fcrew is fixed, that adjufts a delicate fpirit-level, borne 

 by it ; fo4hat whenever the interior end of this horizont^ 

 bar is deprelFed by the elongation of the pendulum, the 

 bubble runs to the exterior end of its tube, and indicates the 

 quantity of elongation by its run, as meafured by the micro- 

 meter during its re-adjuftment ; and on the contrary, when 

 a contraftion takes place in the pendulum, the bubble runs 

 to the interior end ; but when it remains ftationary, on the 

 application of heat to th.e pendulum, it is confidered that the 

 compenfation is perfeftly adjufted. Two thermometers are 

 placed at a diftance from each other in the box, and are 

 viewed through flips of glafs inferted in the front of the 

 box near the top and bottom, to (hew that the heat is equally 

 diffufed ; and thus the expanfion of any fimple rod may be 

 taken, while the apparatus is removed fufRciently from the 

 heat applied within the box, while the leaft quantity of 

 expanfion may be afcertained, without danger of error, by 

 means of the micrometrical level. It is hardly neceffary to 

 remark, that when a fimple rod has its expanfion thus 

 afcertained in different degrees of temperature, its inferior 

 end muft reft on the inner end of the horizontal bar, while 

 its fuperior end muft be prefTed upwards againft a pin in the 

 wall inftead of being fufpended ; in which cafe, a counter- 

 poife muft be placed on the horizontal bar near the level, to 

 hold the vertical rod up to its bearing. The peculiar advan- 

 tage of trying the final adjuftment of a pendulum of 

 Troughton's conftniftion for compenfation after it has 

 been brought to time, is, that the fpring by which the 

 pendulum is fufpended is Included in the determination of 

 the total refult of all the contrary expanfions ; which can- 

 not be faid of any other method, except that which refults 

 from aftual experience, in obferving the variations of rate at 

 oppofite feafons of the year, which is a tedious method, 

 accomplifhed only at the expence of much obfervation and 

 lofs of time after each new adjuftment.
