What is Torricelli's vacuum?

If a one meter long glass tube opened at one end filled with mercury is put into a mercury filled container invertedly and perpendicularly due to air pressure the mercury level comes down. At a certain level it becomes steady which means a portion of tube's upper area becomes vaccum. This vaccum is known as Torricelli's vaccum.
