When the head is fixed to the boiler, and the spout to the mouth of the worm, lute the joinings toge ther with a paste of foraped chalk and fine flour, equal parts, brought into the confiftence of dough with fresh water; fill the worm-tub with fea A letter to a friend, giving an account, ac- water, and light a moderate fire under the boiler; tording to the advices hitherto received, of the keep a fmall ftream running, til half the quanti Ohio defeat. 6 d.

The fire may be then increased, and the remainder of fresh water drawn off, till no more remains in the boiler than is neceffary to keep it from burning: the fame quantity of fea-water may be then poured in as before, and the diftillation repeated in the fame manner; for the fame lees will ferve four or five times; or perhaps oftener, for as long as the water comes off fresh, the ftrength of the lees remains. Neither need the head of the boiler be taken off, if a hole be made in it to receive a funnel, and this hole carefully clofed with a copper flider, when the process commences. Care must alfo be taken to keep the worm cool, either by changing the water in the tub as it grows warm, or by applying wet fwabs to the worm, kept cool, by new dipping them as often as occafion requires. One wine-quart of capital lees will weigh two pounds fix ounces Avoirdupois; lees that weigh less will not do. They must be kept in bottles ftopped with bees tax, and tied down with leather or bladder. ———To preserve fresh water sweet, put into every hundred gallons of fresh water a quarter of a pound Avoirdupois of fine white pearl afhes, and then stop the cafk. The prefent fate of the arts in England, by M. Rouquet, member of the royal academy of painting and fculpture at Paris, who refided thirty years in this kingdom. 2 s. Nourje. In this eflay M. Rouquet has confidered the arts under the following heads: Hiftory-painting, portraiture in oil, in crayons, and in enamel; painting on glafs, in miniature; painting of horfes, landfcapes, and fea-pieces; painting in water-colours; fculpture, carving in wood, filk manufacture, painted linens, ingraving in steel, printing, mezzotinto, chafing, ingraving in ftone, goldfmith's ware and toys, itcel-work, porcelane, architecture, deciaiming, theatrical declamation, mulic, cookery, phyfic, and furgery. thefe arts he conteties we have attained a very confiderable degree of excellence. It is impoffible to trace him through all the particulars; we fhall therefore only mention the principal; hittory-painting, fculpture, architecture, inufic, and phyfic. In all Of Hiftery painting, he remarks, that in England an artift has fo little opportunity of difplaying his abilities, that there is fldom more than one at a time; who, having no rival, is not urged by emulation to excel. He oblerves alfo, that our painters have one obftacle, which is not found in any other country; a set of men whofe profeffion it is to fell pictures, and who, as they cannot trade with the pictures of the li ving, efpecially of their own country, make it their whole ftudy and labour to decry them in favour of those of the dead. He acknowledges, however, that Hayman has every qualification of a great painter; and that Hogarth, whofe Analysis [xvi. 36.] he mentions with honour, has an excellence peculiar to himself. Of Sculpture, he fays but little; allowing in general, that there are many good pieces in Weftminiter abbey, though he mentions none that are not the work of foreigners; and he obferves very justly, that till within a very few years, feulture has been applied amongst us only to the de coration of tombs. Under this head he take occafion to remark, that every attitude in fculp ture, or painting, becomes difpleafing, if we look longer at it than this attitude should nat.rally have lafted; fmiling, for intance, woul be very difagreeable, if it was perpetual; and, inftead of expreffing a fudden and pleafing kab bility, it would have the appearance of folly affectation: the painter, or fculptor, therdon, who perpetuates a smile, dlfgraces at once hs -riginal and his work. With refpect to Architecture, be remarks that we have no national architecture, like othe countries, but take our models from Italy or a tiquity. St Paul's is a compilement of the fast parts of ancient architecture; and the portico St Martin's is taken, without any alteratio from that of a Grecian temple. Those who r employed to build for private perfons, have opportunity to introduce the great parts of ad tecture, nor indeed to follow their own taft: for every man is his own architect, and dire the building of his houfe by the caprice of s own fancy; though it is confeffed, that many our country-feats are built with great elegance by the most approved rules. As to Mulic, he takes notice, that we have adapted the Italian to our own accent and tathe fo much, that we have infenfibly produced kind of mufic little different from it which my be confidered as the produce of our own country; and that before this was done, we had no mu that of our old ballads being a most melancholy ditty, without variety or tafte: and yet he cor fefles we have in general fo good an ear, that a foreigner, on his first coming to London, is fr prifed at the performance of a common ballad finger. Thyfic he fays is practifed among us with all the pomp and dignity that its importance requires Our phyficians have the manrers, the talte, and the air of gentlemen; and most of them cutivate fome art or science which has no relation to medicine. One amufes himself with picures antiquities, or prints; another, with philofophy; another bottles up mostters; and another decorates a cabinet with more agreeable curiofities. Rouquet also gives it as his opinion that this avocation of our physicians to this independent of their profeffion, is fometimes of great fervice to their patients; bocavic nature takes occasion, from the inattention of the doc tor, to effect the cure in her own way.
