Deaths Abroad.

Of BERTRAND PELLETIER, the celebrated French chymift, whofe death we noticed in a former number, we have fince been favoured with the following particulars.

This illuftrious chymift and phyfician was born at Bayonne, in 1761, and died in Paris the 21st of July, 1797. His career was fhort, but glorious; and he has left behind him a reputation, which the flight of time - will never obliterate. Many men of natural genius have been configned to hopeless obfcurity, for want of a proper field to exercife and difplay their talents; whilst others have failed in their noble ambition to excel, for want of an able director in their early years, who could prefcribe to them the proper line to purfue, and direct the efforts of genius to their definite object. Pelletier fortunately poffeffed all these advantages. He imbibed the first elements of the fcience, in which he afterwards fo eminently excelled, under the tuition of his father; and fubfequently under the direction of Darcet, who perceiving in him a furprizing portion of fagacity, which may not unaptly be denominated the infiint of science, admitted him among the number of his pupils, belonging to the chymical elaboratory of the French college. Five years of intenfe ftudy and application, under the auspices of a mafter, formed by nature to excel, and perfected by experience, could not fail to render Pelletier diftinguished by a degree of knowledge rarely to be met with in perfons of his age. Of this he foon gave convincing proofs, by pub

lishing, at the age of 21, fome very inge
nious obfervations on the acid of arfenic.
Macquer, by mixing nitre with the oxyde of
arfenic, had difcovered a falt capable of fo-
lution in water, and of cryftallizing in the
form of prifms, to which he gave the name
of neutral falt of arfenic. He was of opinion,
that no acid could decompofe it; but Pelletier
demonftrated, that this might be effected by
a diftillation of fulphurous acid. He de
tected the true caufe, which rendered Mac-
quer's falt of arfenic incapable of decompofi-
tion in veffels properly clofed and luted, and
fhewed by what procefs the falt itself was
formed in the diftillation of nitrate of pot
afh, and white oxyde of arfenic; and lastly
he specified the distinction between this new
falt and Macquer's foie d' arfenic, (liver of ar-
fenic.) Encouraged by the fuccefs of his
firft effays, he publied his obfervations
on the crystallization of fulphur, cinnabar
and foluble falts. He undertook an ana
lyfs of zeolites, particularly the falfe zeo-
lite of Fribourg in Brifgau, which he found
to be nothing more than an ore of zinc. He
published likewife fome equally folid and in-
genious remarks concerning marine dephlo-
gifticated acid, the abforption of oxygene,
the formation of various kinds of ethers,
and efpecially of the acid ether: and wrote
feveral memoirs on the compofition of phof-
porus, its transformation into phofporic acid,
and its combination with fulphur, and the
major part of metallic fubitances. Whilst
he was engaged in making experiments on
phofporus, one of the most aftonishing pro-
ductions of the art of chymistry, he burned
himself fo dangerously, that he narrowly ef-
caped with his life. On his recovery from
this unfortunate accident, which confined
him to his bed for more than half a year, he
occupied himself with the analysis of various
lead ores found in France, Germany, Spain,
England, and America; and notwithstanding
the fame fubject had been previously treated
and difcuffed by Scheele, Pelletier found
means to give his refearches a furprizing de-
gree of intereft and novelty. His analyfis
of the properties of barytes led him to make a
feries of experiments on animals, which fully
eftablished the poisonous qualities of this
compofition, in whatever fhape it may be ad-
miniftered. The chymifts have given the
appellation of frontian to a certain fpecies of
earth recently difcovered, from the name of
the place where it was found. Pelletier
carefully analyzed this earth, and found it
to correfpond with fulphate of barytes. He
was amongst the firft, who fubftantiated the
practicability of refining and perfecting a bell-
metal, by feparating the tin.
His first ex-
periments of this kind were made at Paris,
from which place he removed in 1791, to
verify his difcoveries on a very extenfive scale
at the foundery of Romilly. The following
year he was chofen a member of the academy
of fciences at Paris, foon after which he

went

Northumberland and Durham

went with Borda and General Dabovile to Fere, to affift at experiments of a new fpecies of gunpowder. The duties of this appointment rendering it neceffary for him to pafs great part of the day expofed to the inclemencies of the atmosphere during a very cold and damp feason, his constitution, which was naturally delicate, fuftained a fenfible injury. His health was not fully re-eftablished, when he again experienced a very narrow efcape from falling a victim to the zeal with which he cultivated his favourite fcience, being nearly fuffocated by inhaling oxyanated muriatic. Á violent afthmatic complaint was the confequence of this unfortunate circumftance, which baffled

149

all the refources of art, and carried him prematurely to the grave, in the flower of his age, at the age of 36. In Pelletier fcience has loft one of her most able cultivators, and the community an ufeful member, for whom it will not be eafy to find an equal fubftitute. He poffeffed that dignified expanfion, that indefatigable activity of mind, which are indifpenfibly requifite to arrive at fuperlative" excellence. As a literary character, his reputation was unftained with reproach; and in private life, his ftrict probity, exemplary virtue, and unimpeachable morals, rendered him an object more eafily admired than imitated.

NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM.

THE bridge at the foot of Hampeth-Bank,

near Low Newton, upon the turnpikeroad leading from Cow Cawfey to Buckton Burn, in the county of Northumberland, is to be rebuilt without delay.

The Duke of Northumberland having been informed of the practical benefit derived to the community, by the inftitution of the South Shields Cork or Life Boat, by which the lives of many hundred fhip-wrecked mariners have been faved, has made a voluntary offer to the fhip-owners and merchants of North Shields, of a boat, on a fimilar conftruction, to be kept, for the fame benevolent and humane purpofe, on the north fide; and has further fubfcribed twenty pounds annually towards the other expences attending the establish

ment.

It has been determined, at a meeting of the principal gentlemen of the county of Northumberland, to erect an iron bridge over the Tweed, at Kelfo, in lieu of that lately wafhed down.

A very alarming fire broke out in Newcaftle on the 25th of last month, which for want of a timely fupply of water, nearly two hours elapfing from the first ringing of the fire bell, till any water could be procured from the pipes, did confiderable damage; and but for the unremitted exertions of the inhabitants, would probably have reduced the whole fouth-weft fide of Mosley-street to ashes. This fhameful neglect, in the conduct of those who have been inftructed to fupply the town with water, calls for the fevereft animadverfion.

A fubfcription is now open for carrying into effect the propofed Tunnel from North to South Shields. The expence of this ufeful undertaking, which will effectually benefit the purposes of navigation, and eventually fave many hundred lives, (inftances.

having occurred of eight fhips having been ftranded on the Herd Sands at a time) is calculated at 69931.

Near Newcastle, at the advanced age of 100, James Palmer, commonly known by the denomination of Doctor Palmer. For the last thirty years of his life he never went to bed fober. He ferved as a private in the royal army in the year 1715, and at the age of 73, with only five shillings in his pocket, walked from Newcastle to London, and back again, in the fhort fpace of eleven days, one of which he spent in the metropolis. The appellation of Doctor was conferred upon him, from the circumftance of his vending noftrums and quack medicines of his own preparing..

CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND." A moft alarming and deftructive fire broke out on the 30th of laft month, in the extenfive cotton manufactory of Meffrs. Wood and Bothwell, in Carlifle. The recent difafter experienced in this town, owing to the want of a fire engine, was not, it feems, fufficient to convince the inhabitants of the neceffity of this means of precaution against the ruinous ravages of fire. For want of this falutary preventive, the whole of the premifes, together with the valuable ftock in trade, was confumed in the fhort fpace of three hours. A strong wall fortunately prevented the new brewery from sharing the fame fate. A very fmall fire engine, belonging to the cattle, was all the affiftance that could be procured. What adds to the calamity, upwards of 200 people have been thrown out of employment by this terrible disaster. It gives us fatisfaction to hear, that a fubfcription is now on foo, for furnishing the town of Carlisle with two fire engines.

LANCASHIRE.

A very liberal fubfcription has been fet on foot in Liverpool, for establishing a library and reading-room in that town. Not lefs than 300 perfons have fubfcribed 10 guineas each to carry this ufeful inftitution into effect.

In confequence of a letter inferted fome time fince in the Courier, figned Philanthropos, ftating that the French prifoners of war were treated with great inhumanity, fed upon offals, and confined in dungeons, a deputation of the mayor and magiftrates have examined into the actual ftate of the prifon.

no foundation in truth.

YORKSHIRE.

Between Tadcaster and York there is a neat little cottage, contiguous to the road, and about a mile diftant from the former town: the builder and owner, Britton Abbott, is now in the 68th year of his age: he has been inured to labour in husbandry from his infancy, and, notwithstanding his age, is fo ftrong, robuft, healthy, and industrious, that he earns from 12 to 18 fhillings per week, by what is called task-work. He married, when twenty-two, a woman near his own age, who is ftill living. About 33 years ago, in confequence of the inclosure at Poppleton, he was, with fix helplefs children, and his wife ready to lie in of the feventh, under the neceflity of quitting his habitation. In the midst of his difficulties, he applied to a gentleman in the neighbourhood for a piece of wafte ground by the road fide; and his character, on enquiry, being found unimpeachable, he obtained the flip of land he now occupies; where, by the aflistance of his neighbours in the carriage of materials, he built the cottage which he inhabits. The land, though no more than a rood in extent, produces, by his care and skilful management, about 40 bushels of potatoes annually, befides other vegetables, and fruits; the fale of which brings him, on an average, four pounds per annum. Thus, by perfevering industry, is a man, who otherwife must have been a tenant in a poor-house, enabled to provide for a large family, with but the leaft affiftance from the parish.

On the 1st inftant an alarming thunder ftorm came on in the vicinity of York, ac companied with fnow and hail. The lighting was extremely awful, and one great flash in particular was inftantaneously fucceeded by the most tremendous peal of thunder ever heard by the oldest inhabitant of the town.
