The first barometer that was invented was the MERCURY barometer. a mercury barometer consists of a glass tube open at the bottom end and partially filled with mercury. (:
One statement to accurately describe a difference between a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer is that a mercury barometer is a closed tube containing mercury. An aneroid barometer is a closed, flexible container of gas.

A Mercury barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure.
An increase in air pressure will cause the mercury in a barometer to rise, indicating higher atmospheric pressure. This typically indicates fair weather conditions.
Maybe you mean what does a mercury barometer measure. In which case the answer is atmospheric pressure.
Good question.Look at it like this if you had two barometers side by side, one a mercury barometer and the other a barometer that reacted to changes in air pressure using some bellows and a spring.Then, as the pressure changed you marked the second barometer positions and noted on the dial the inches reading from the mercury barometer, the second barometer measurement scale would mimic the real mercury barometer even though it did not actually use any mercury.
To measure the local pressure of the Earth's atmosphere, Torricelli invented the first Mercury Barometer.
