The noise was like a continual fP i ng, or th e wor king of a great pump. The th e l e n g lip of th e f orm s also occasioned a noise, like 4er • Burford, of blocks.

SCARLETT then addressed the Jury for the defendant. He admitted that if the Jurv . believed that the plaintiff was disturbed and annoyed by a noise, whether it was a rumblin g or thumping noise, he Was entitled to a verdict. No matter how beau tiful the operation Of this engine might be, or how us eful to t h e public, if it had been productiv e of se rious injury to the plaintiff, he was entitled to da 'Sages. H e h o ped,however,to be able to convince the h art, that every thing which it was possible to d o d been done by the defendant, and that the present a k et t i , °ll Was one of a very vexatious character. Two t4 3 , n is ' had been previously brought, and he admit tio '" a h t from the period when the last of those ac- Cl ha d : ad been brought, until the period when Mr. bad ni- "t set about altering his engine, the nuisance re„exieted. Previous to the last action Mr. Cle ebrt Conceived conscientiously, that no reason able man livin g in the Strand, a part of the town, r e ason coache s passed every hour of the night, could e rnt e b bly find fault with the inconvenience arising et r : - te engine.

Sir John Copley was at Henbury on Friday week, on a visit to Alderman Brooke, of Bristol, when the commands of his Majesty reached him, calling him to take possession of the Seals. So unexpected was the honour conferred upon him, that he had a few hours prior to the receipt of the communication expressed an opinion that he should remain Master of the Rolls for years to come.—Plymouth Jou7nal.

Died early on the morning of the 16th inst., at his Lordship's house, ifaeberry Lodge, Southampton, the Right Hon. Sholto Henry M'Clellan, Lord Kirkcudbright, Baron of Bombie. His Lordship had been travelling for the last two years in the care of a servant for the benefit of his health, and was brought home in a state of extreme debility only on th e F r id a y pre ceding his dissolution by Mr. Clement Sharpe, of Romsey. His Lordship was married, but has left no issue. plaintiff; he said, you must remove your vgine— it will be a great expence, but no matter, it must be removed ! In compliance with this suggestion, Mr. Clement had actually removed . the engine at an expense of several hundred pounds. Whilst this was being effected, the defendant could not of course give up his property, which was the source of a large income to him, but the alteration was effected with as much haste as could be reason ably expected; even this, however, did not satisfy the plaintiff, and he proposed to assign the lease of his house to Mr. Clement for 14 years, at a rent of 180/. a-year. Mr. Clement acceded to this proposi tion, great as the rent was, and Mr. Watson then came forward with a new demand. He asked for a fine of 8001. and a rent of ISO/. a year for a 14 years' lease. The object of the plaintiff clearly was, by bringing frequent actions to compel Mr. Clement to come to any terms, or else to give up the whole of his valuable property. He (Mr. Scarlettl trusted that the Jury would not aid the - i'n;ritiff in such an ob ject. A new engine had been substituted for that which had annoyed the plaintiff, and no reasonable cause of complaint now existed. Until the new engine was constructed he admitted that the nuisance had existed, and therefore that a verdict must pass for the plaintiff; but under all the circumstances he thought the Jury must be of opinion that nominal damages would be sufficient. Mr: John Lloyd is an engineer; made the engine which is erected at the Morning Chronicle, in the Strand; it is an engine of two horse power; the pressure of such an engine is necessarily small; the engine is in p feet order; the new engine was put up last year, and the old engine entirely taken away. The new engine is situated about 18 feet from the spot where the old engine stood; it is situated in a coal cellar, and has no connection with the party wall. Witness has used his best endeavours to prevent the engine now erected from making a noise and does not think it could annoy the persons living in the next house. Cross-examined—Witness gave the same opinion as to the oli engine; had said that if it was at work in the Court while a cause was going on, his Lord ship would not desire to have it stopped. John Macey was the mason employed to do, the brick-work necessal y for the election of the new engine; the object was to prevent any shaking or any noise that could be avoided. Witness has been paid above .50/. for his share of the work, and does not think there can be any vibration felt now in the next house, or any noise that would be seriously alarming. J. Harrison, an engineer, corroborated the evi dence of, the two former witnesses. Witness was paid over 50/. _ . _ Several other tradesmen, who assisted in erecting the new engine, deposed to the same effect. The new engine commenced working in October last. The person employed by plaintiff to superintend the engine, proved that he heard Mr. Watson tell Mr. Clement that I.e would be satisfied if the engine was removed. It was the air pump of the old engine which used to make the noise, but that had been removed when the new engine was erected. Mr. Clement, the Surveyor of the parish of St. Clement Danes, was acquainted with both the parties, and asked the plaintiff to come to some terms with Mr. Clement, and the plaintiff said he would be glad to get rid of the premises on and• terms, and that if Mr. Clement could give him 180/. a year he would give up the house altogether, and assign the lease. Witness mentioned this circumstance to Mr. Clement, who agreed to the proposal, but upon mentioning the subject again to plaintiff, he said that he would not take 1801. per year, but that he would take 140/. a year and a fine of SOO/. Other witnesses were also examined, who con curred in stating, that in their opinion no serious annoyance could result from the working of the de fendant's engine as it was now erected. Mr. GURNEY replied at some length. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up ; and the Jury, after consulting for about half an hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff generally. Damages—Two Hundred Pounds. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. PAYNE AND OTHERS V. GAGG. This was an action for the recovery of two pro missory notes, dated in May, 1816, granted by the defendant and another person to the plaintiffs, who were bankers, and as the defendant kept an account with them, the notes were placed to his when due. Mr. Hope, one of the plaintiffs, placed several sums to the defendants' credit by way of loan, and in consequence of this the balance appeared on the plaintiffs' books in the defendants' favour ; but it was contended by them that he was not entitled to claim credit for the sums transferred by Mr. Hope ; to which it was answered, that Mr. Hope, as an in dividual, ought to sustain that loss, and that the house had no right to avail themselves of it. The Jury found for the defendants. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. There are short arrivals of all kinds of English Grain this week, and the supply of Foreign Oats is moderate.

The greater part of the business transacted in the course of the afternoon was on t.,e Derby, and it was of a singular character. At one period Espagnolle went back several points---16 or 17 to 1 could have been got, but he speedily recovered, and left off at 10 to 1. We cannot assign a cause for this freak. Tatler was next thrown back, and that quite as suddenly, but more effectually; 20 to 1 went begging at first; this, however, was reduced to 17 to 1 before the close. Something was said about his having broken down, but that we fancy was a ruse. The betting on the Oaks and St. Leger was very limited.

The Court was crowded to an overflow, and the muster of amateurs more respectable than we have witnessed for some time ; the sparring, too, was excellent, and the highest satisfaction was expressed. Among the exhibitors were—Young Dutch Sam and the Sailor-boy; Murphy and the Bristol Baker ; Stock man and Raines ; Young Spring and Oliver Burns ; fill Savage and Ike Dodd ; Harry Harmer and Tom Oliver ; Pick and Charley Jones ; Reuben Marten and Gybletts ; and, as a closer, Tom Belcher and Jem Ward. The lat ter set-to was a finished specimen of science, both did their best---and the stops and returns were of the most admirable description. If any thing, Belcher had rather the beat of Jem, although so much swor,n. The loudest applause marked the pleasure which so rare a display of merit afforded. Jem Burns, at the close of the sports, mounted the stage and returned his warm thanks for the liberal manner in which he had been supported. He has nearly got rid of the effects of his contest, and only bears a black eye as a badge of honour. Baldwin " chewed," and exhibited a marked contrast to Jem—his face was still dreadfully swollen, although greatly reduced by bleeding. On mounting the stage, he ex pressed his sorrow at having lost the fight —more for his friends' sake, who had lost their money, than for himself. He was free to confess that he had made too light of his antagonist, and received such heavy hits or: the outset of the battle, that he scarce know what follovred. He an nounced that he should take a benefit on Tuesday week, when he would be ready to make a fresh match with Jem, and tight him in a fortnight if be were so disposed. Big Brown was expected, but did not attend, having de puted Cribb to make his match with Jem Ward. Tom Oliver who was to have fought Uncle Ben on Wed nesday next, has forfeited the deposit money. The stakes for Jem Burns' fight with Baldwin, will be delivered to him this evening, in due form, at the Castle Tavern, Holborn, and a strong muster of his friends is ex pected to " crack a bottle" to his good fortune. EFFECTS OF MOONLIGHT ON THE EYES. —The effect of the moonlight on the eyes in Egypt is singularly injurious ; the natives tell you, as I found afterwards they also did in Arabia, to cover your eyes when you sleep in the open air. The moon in Egypt strikes and affects the sight, when you sleep exposed to it, much more than the sun ; a fact of which I had a very unpleasant proof one night, and took care to guard against it afterwards ; indeed, the sight of a person who should sleep with his face exposed at night would soon be utterly impaired or destroyed.-Carne's Letters from the East. , 2 if - FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

The appointment to th© Mastership of the Rolls lies, it is now said, between Mr. Haft and Mr. Shadwell ; the former having the patronage of Lord Lyndhurst, the latter that of Mr. Robin son.—Morning Paper. Mr. P. Robinson, who had superintended the Emigration from Ireland to Upper Canada since the year 182 S, arrived yesterday morning at the Colonial Office, with dispatches from Major- General Sir P. Maitland, K.C.8., at Canada. We understand that Admiral the Earl of Northesk, G.C.8., will assume the command at this Port, on the 7th of May.—Plymouth Journal. At the sale of the Rev. Theodore 'Williams' Library yesterday, the Hon. George Agar Ellis purchased " Lutheri (Mart.) Opera Omnia," (Colbert's private copy) 7 vols. folio—Wite berga, 1552-62—for 521. 10s.; an extremely fine copy, and excessively - rare. A great struggle took place respecting the purchase of this work, between Dr. Burney, Mr. Beckford, (as we heard) and the Bishop of Durham. Trifles, says Voltaire, produce often great effects: a glove, dropped by Queen Anne, and picked up by Mrs. Masham, drove the Whigs, headed by the Duke of Marlborough, out of office. THE IRISH CHANCELLORSHIP.—There is not time to arrange matters satisfactorily relative to the Irish Chancellorship, and Lord Manners is to remain as he is for some time longer.-- Dublin Morning Register. On Sunday last, the Worshipful the Sheriff of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Alfred Hall, Esq., entertained the Members of the Corporate Body of that Town, and a large party of friends, to Dinner, at Dodsworth's, the Queen's Head Inn. The repast, which indeed amounted to a ban quet, was in the wonted style of the well-known liberality of the worthy Sheriff. The tables were amply supplied with fine West India turtle, salmon, lamb, and all the delicacies of the season ; and the wines, which included the rich sparkling champaigne, were of the choicest quality, and could not fail to gratify the palate of the most fastidious connoisseurs. The number that sat down to dinner was fifty. Epsom Races, for the present year, will com mence on Tuesday, May 29. Mr. Mullinex had a concert last night at the Argyll-rooms. It was fully attended. Madame Cornega, in an air from Pucitta, and in Mozart's " 0 duke conento," exhibited powers which place her in the first rank of concert singers. Miss Paton was very happy in Mozart's " Voi the sapete ;" but the greatest share of approba tion was lavished, or, we should rather say, justly bestowed, on her simple ballad of " Jock o' Hazleclean." In furtherance of improvements beyond Hyde Park-corner and St. George's Hospital, many houses have just been sold by auction for the purpose of being pulled clown ; and amongst others now in progress is the dilapidation of the late residence of Mr. Liston, the comedian, facing Hyde Park. On the side of these houses a row of large houses is to be built, to be called " Piccadilly West." St. George's Hospital, it ismentioned, i s to b e r ebuilt on its presentground. In the parish of Stoke Abbott, a hen, which had performed the office of incubation nearly the usual tim e , suddenly deserted her nest ; on search being made for her, she was found, in a place below, covering three young kittens.— Plymouth Journal. POTTERY TRADE.—The extensive potteries at Portobello and Preston Pans, arc feeling less of the general dullness than the greater part of trades. Within these eighteen months, the de mand has fallen off only about a fourth. There has been no reduction in the prices of the dishes. The workmen are employed about five days in the week, and their prices have been greatly re duced. Excellent tradesmen who, in brisk times, earned from 30s. to 355. are now working for from 16s. to 20s. a week. Prior to the present dullness, the greater part of the purchases were on credit, but the proprietors sustained such numerous and heavy losses, that they found it necessary to change their mode of conducting business. The trap -:actions are now nearly all cash, and they trust only those customers whose payment they consider perfectly safe.—Scotsman. WALLACE. SCENES FROM AN UNPUBLISHED TRAGEDY.

Glou.--And splendour too, which some will weep to see. Hereford—When is the King expected? Gloucester—Every moment ; His couriers sound the note of preparation, And Edward seldom wants the start of time. Surrey—Never, if Scotland is the match between them, For there his heart is set with love's first wish. Hereford—Possession? Surrey—Ay, unrivalled sweet possession. Hereford—But then the lady seems not of his mind,-•. A thing unusual when a Monarch woos. Enter a Messenger. Messenger—My Lords,his Majesty is just arrived. (Exit.)

He must pay homage, Ere Scotland's crown is moulded to his brow ; Else he may shape it for himself without us.

Edward—Collect thy force— We speed to glory on the wings of conquest. (Bruce slowly retires in deep thought.) Glo.—Now the proud Scot puts spurs to Edward's heels.

Edward—This is no time to talk of grievaasea, When war knocks at the gate, nor waits our coming, But bursts the lock and rudely rushes in. When peace returns, I will look to your claims : T pass my word. Hereford—So did your Majesty Before last war : and gentle peace returned, Without your acquiescence. Edward—But events Squared not with expectation. Hereford—Nor, my liege, Has fortune ever fill'd ambition's measure. Edward—Faith, so it seems! Hereford—And may be so hereafter. Then, please you, out of magnanimity, Now to redeem your promise in this matter. Edward—What! would you dictate how your King should act ?

A very ready and elegant mode of procuring curds, and also a pleasant acidulous whey, is, by adding to a glass-full of milk a little solution of citric acid, taking care not to add too much ; an e7periment or two will readily show the quantity necessary to effect the purpose. THE NORTHERN SURVEY.—DEPTFORD, APRIL 25.—Yesterday, at about one o'clock, his Majesty's brig the Investigator, attended by the Woodlark cutter, left their moorings, op posite the Royal Dock-yard, Deptford, and sailed with a favourable wind, to resume the sur vey of the Northern Coast. During the last summer, they were principally employed off the Scottish shores, and among the Orkney and Shetland Islands. It is presumed that this sea son will finish their labours, which, under the direction of the Master, Mr. Thomas, have been already very successful, and led to the correc tion of several errors in the old Charts. The survey has been undertaken by the express com mand of the Admiralty. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock. tROM THIS NIGHT'S GAZETTE. Whitehall, April 24, 1827.

THE KING'S PRIVY COUNOILLORS.—The following particulars relative to the King's Privy Council, extracted principally from Blackstone, may be generally interesting at this time :—The principal Council belonging to the King is his Privy Council, which is generally called, by way of eminence, The Council: and this, according to Sir Edward Coke's description of it, is a noble, honourable, and revered assembly of the King, and such as he wilis to be of his Privy Council in the King's Court or Palace. The King's will is the sole constituent of a Privy Councillor, and this also regulates their number —which of ancient time was twelve, or there abouts ; afterwards it increased to so large a number, that it was found inconvenient for sccresy and dispatch, and, therefore, King Charles IL, in 1679, limited it to thirty, whereof fifteen were to be the principal Officers of State, and those to be Counsellors, virtute officii, and the other fifteen were com posed of ten Lords and five Commoners, of the King's choosing. But, since thet time, the number has been much augmented, and now continues indefinite. No inconvenience, how ever, observes Mr. Christian, in his note, arise• from this extension of their numbers, as those only attend who are specially summoned for that particular occasion, upon which their advice end assistance are required. The Cabinet Council, as it is called, consists of those Members of State who are more immediately honoured with his Majes ty's confidence, and who are summoned to con sult upon the important and arduous discharge of the Executive Authority. Their number and selection depend only upon the King's pleasure, and each Member ,of that Council receives a summons or message for every attendance. Privy Councillors are made by the King's nomination, without either patent or grant ; and on taking the necessary oaths, they immediately become Privy Councillors during the life of the King that chooses them, but subject to removal at his discretion. The duty of a Privy Councillor appears from the oath of office, which consists of seven articles. Ist. To advise di.... King accord ing to the best of his cunning and discretion. 2d. To advise for the King's honour, and good of the public, without partiality, throug,l; affec ion, love, 'need, doubt, or dread. 3d. To keep die King's counsel secret. 4th. To avoid cor ruption. sth. To ' , ell) and strengthen tl.e exe cution of what shall be there resolved. 6:h. To withstand all persons who would attempt the contrary ; and, lastly, in general to observe, keep, and do all that a good and true Cou: cillor ought to do to his Sovereign Lord. Thy• dis solution of the Privy Council depends upo t the King's pleasure, and he may, whenever he thinks proper, discharge any particular Member, or Cle whole of it, and appoint another, " ' /ifOrtrt -4(att
