LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, APRIL 24. EX-PARTE THE TRINITY-HOUSE AGAINST G. BURGE. The AT.TORNEY-.GENERAL said, that he had to apply to the Court for a special injunction on behalf of the Trinity House, against George Burge, one of the contractors of the St. Katharine Dock Company. By a charter granted to the Trinity House Corpo ration, in the reign of Elizabeth, the exclusive right of supplying ballast to the shipping in the river Thames was vested in that body. His Honour might not be judicially informed, although it was a fact of public notoriety, that a very large excavation had been made at the St. Katharine Dock. With the rubbish thus excavated, the contractors were in the habit of supplying ballast to vessels in the Thames. The Trinity House feeling that their right was infringed upon, gave notice to the con tractors, in February last, to discontinue supplying vessels with ballast; but in defiance of this notice, they still pursued their practice, in consequence of which the Trinity House were obliged to file the present bill to restrain the defendant from infringing on their charter. To show that this proceeding was not got up on slight grounds, or through cap tious motives, it might be as well to state, that since notice had been served on the defendant, in 'Fe bruary last, no less a quantity than 2,500 tons of rubbish had been disposed of as ballast out of the excavation at St. Katharine Dock. It appeared that chalk, dung, and compost were excepted by the charter; but 'he (the Attorney-General) was not aware that the defendants intended to plead in jus tification that the rubbish in question contained any portions of the description of ballast so excepted. Under these circumstances, the Learned Counsel prayed for a special injunction to restrain the de fendant from infringing on the exclusive right of the. Trinity House Corporation. The VICE-CHANCELLOR having ascertained that this was an ex-parte application, granted the in junction. ARTISTS' GENERAL BENEVOLENT IN- STITUTION. Yesterday the anniversary dinner of the above society took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, Lord Farnborough in the chair. The usual toasts to the members of the Royal Family having been disposed of, Earl GOWER proposed the health of the Chair man, which was drank with much applause. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compli ment, lamented the absence of the Earl of Liverpool, who had filled the chair last year. lie might be allowed to say, that the Noble Earl was one of the most upright Ministers who had ever directed the affairs of this country. He was the friend of ev ery benevolent institution, and a liberal patron of the arts. His Lordship concluded by proposing the "health of the Earl of Liverpool," w:iich was drank with great applause. Sir Thomas Lawrence's health was then drank, with the utmost enthusiasm, and he returned thanks in an appropriate speech. Amongst the other toasts were the following : " The Marquis of Stafford," " The Royal Academy," " The Earl of Aberdeen and the British Institu tion ;" and (we should have mentioned it first) " The Artists' General Benevolent Institution." Earl Gower, Lord Grantham, Mr. Watson Taylor, Sir A. Hume, and many other persons of distinction, were present on the occasion. P ÜBLIC SALES OF PROPERTY.-APRIL 24. Br MR.

It is said that he met Captain Clapperton at Timbuctoo, and that they were both supposed to be on their way to Tripoli ; so that we may fairly,encourage the expectation of hearing shortly the most gratify ing accounts of them. It will be recollected that Captain Clapperton landed in the Bight of Benin ; the meeting of these persevering tra vellers will, therefore, complete an uninterrupted route accomplished across the vast continent of Africa, from the shores of the Mediterranean to the great Atlantic."

THE OFFICE OF CHANCELLOR. The title of Chancellor originated with the Ro mans. It was adopted by the Church, and became a half ecclesiastical and half lay office. The Chan cellor was intrusted with all public instruments which were authenticated; and when seals came into use, the custody of them was confided to that officer. The mere delivery of the King's great seal, or the taking it away, is all the ceremony that is used in creating or unmaking a Chancellor, the Of ficer of the greatest weight and power subsisting in the kingdom. The first Chancellor in England was appointed in the reign of William the Conqueror, and with only one exception, it was enjoyed by ecclesiastics until the time of Elizabeth, when such Officers were called Keepers of the Great Seal.— From the time of Sir Thomas More's appointment, which took place in the reign just mentioned, there is only one instance of a clergyman having been ele vated to the effice--namely, Dr. Williams, Dean of Westminster, in the time of James I. The Chancellor is a Privy Councillor by office, and Speaker of the House of Lords by prescription. To him belongs the appointment of all Justices of the Peace throughout the kingdom. When the Chancellor was an ecclesiastic, he became Keeper of the King's Conscience, and remainea 80, He is also visitor of all hospitals and colleges of the King's foundation. He is patron of all livings under 201. per annum, in the King's book. He is the general guardian of all infants, idiots, and lunatics, and has the superintendence of all charitable institutions in the kingdom. He takes precedence of every tem poral Lord, except the Royal Family, and of all others, except the Archbishop of Canterbury. It is declared treason by statute of Edward HI. to slay the Chancellor in his house, and doing his office. In the year 1689, there were Commissioners ap pointed for executing the office of Lord Chancellor. ANECDOTES OF WASHINGTON IRVING, JEFFRAY, SIR W. SCOTT, AND DAVID WILLISON. " Mrs. Ibbottson made her appearance amongst us last evening, and, I regret to say, for the last time. She entered the drawing-room about nine, with a sheet of paper in her hand : Mrs. Bradbury, I be lieve you collect autographs ;—here is one of Washington Irving ; he writes the best English of any man I know—Hall, of Leicester, ex cepted—and a most entertaining creature he is.' He is a friend of yours ?" No, I cannot boast even of his personal acquaintance ; but I have met him more than once in general society; and when you can succeed in drawing him out, I know not a more delightful companion." Come, describe him to us,' said Barbara. I'd attempt it. He is a very well-dressed, good-humoured looking man ; if not handsome, at least very prepossessing in appear ance, though his countenance has not that intellec tual expression which his writings would lead one to expect. The most remarkable feature is his eye; it is large and full, with a very soft dreamy expression —a look of indolent repose in it, which strikes one at first sight very forcibly. I scanned it, and fancieti that Mr. Irving could never be accused of early ris ing; and I half suspected that he admired Gray', description of Paradise, to lie on a sofa and reac new novels.' But with all this, he possesses a keen' perception of the ludicrous; and if any object or Phrase presents itself which excites this feeling, his eye lights up with astonishing brilliancy; the dreamy, dozing look gives way to an expression of wit and humour, of talent and irresistible mirth,—it is not ill-natured enough for satire,—which make!, one ready to laugh with him. Of this I had an op portunity of judging for myself the very last evening I had the good fortune to meet him. It was at a friend's house. Among the party was Mr. Martin —Belshazzar Martin, I call him—you've seen, of course, the splendid picture which entitles him ti the epithet ; a Mr. Hudson, a young miniature painter of very promising talents, a nephew of Mrs. Laurie, of Lincoln; and a Miss—l won't give her name—a most delightful old maid. I call her de lightful, because her dress, manner, topics, style of conversation, and mode of proceeding, were be yond measure droll and diverting. She was attired in a pea-green silk frock, with a flaming orange tur ban, in which waved to and fro, in a most lugubrious manner, a single white ostrich feather; her shoes were a light crimson, and her sash Waterloo blue.— Her eyes were black, and rolled about with a very roguish leer; her figure that of a scarecrow. She looked as if, in her youth, all the world had turned up her nose at her, and now, as if she turned up het nose at all the world ; she could not, for her life, sound an r or a w, so she said, she wang the bell fou times,' and asked quat as that ?' Before she made her appearance, Mr. Irving seemed dreamy and stupid, but the moment he caught a glimpse of this delicious creature, his eye flashed, not ire, but fun. He seemed actually to devour her. I think I overheard him ask Martin if he could, with a pencil and card, make a little sketch of her : she was a gem of the purest water,' and I fancy Martin slyly did so. She, meanwhile, was prodigal of her smiles and antics, flattering herself she made a con quest, and by no means insensible to the eclat of having captivated the author of the Sketch Book —while his eyes, carefully attendant to all her move ments, twinkled with a degree of mirth that was quite infectious. I see how the game goes,' said I to Mr. Hudson ; that unfortunate Miss --, Irving is sketching her off from life!" Sketching her, Madam ? He has taken her away piecemeal— limb by limb—and he'll show up the first opportu nity !" He writes a wretched hand, however,' said the lofty Mrs. Floyer. 6 Admirable, you mean?— ' Pray did you ever see Jeffrey's scrawl, or the pot hooks of Dr. Chalmers, of Glasgow ?' Never.'— ` Then you are no judge of the beauties or varieties of human writing. I've had a note from the latter lying by me these three years, and I've never been able to decipher it yet, nor have I ever met with a being who could. I shewed it to Professoe Lee, as Arabic, written to me by the celebrated Mirza Seid Moorshedabad, of Ispahan ! He said at once, I can make neither head nor tail of it. But pray, Madam, preserve it ; it's a very great curiosity.' As to little Jeffray's calligraphy, you shall hear what Mr. Willison, of Edinburgh, said to me respect ing it. But stop—l must tell the story in my own way. I was at Modern Athens in the Autumn of 1818, and being known to Mr. Con stable, was asked more than once to his house. In particular, I remember meeting, at a dinner, in Park place, a number of literary men, and among the rest Professor Leslie and Francis Jeffrey. Of the Pro fessor, I am ashamed to say, I did not think much. He might be an adept in natural philosophy, old I dare say he was, and conversant with science in general, but most assuredly the only science with which he betrayed any acquaintance on that occasion was the science of good eating! He laughed, and crammed, and seemed particularly intent on getting his own share of the dainties before him ; but not one single observation did he drop which might not have been uttered by the most common-place turtle eating Alderman. As to Jeffray, I never heard a man talk so fast, or woman ei her; the rapidity with which, after dinner, one idea followed another, (he said little before, and looked fagged and jaded,) was to me, who then saw him for the first time, matter of pure amazement. But though he talks ably and fluently, he does not talk pleasantly; there is a dash of conceit and arrogance in his manner—a bitterness and sarcasm in his tone of feeling—which will not stand the test of reflection; there is not an atom of *. • repose about him. In pertiorgle .is thitt spare, acute-looking man, wrtttpt ,frog, _eye, ,And, take -it altogether, a ameluip nance. One listens - to his etinveraigipdatia , topic*, at his saturnine complexion, and fancilik that-there is redundancy of bile both in his morel and physical constitution; and feels_ persuaded' that a few more grains of self-knowledge would be'as' beneficial to the one, as six weeks' residence at Cheltenham would be to the other. The most extraordinary thing about him is the rapidity with - which he catches, comprehends, and answers your ideas; long before I had finished my sentence, and often when a few words only had escaped me, he had anticipated my reply, and had advanced half way in his rejoinder! This happened again and again, and I was comforted by observing, to others us well as to myself. Yet after all, gifted as lie is, his powers, great as they are, do not leave a pleasing impression on the mind. The head may be all wisdom, the heart all gall ! The compass and versatility of his attainments—the point and power of his conversation—the brilliancy of his sallies—and the bitterness of his invective— all fail to disguise the melancholy.truth that Jeffrey is a disappointed man. True, his sneer is . withering —his sarcasm cutting—let him pride himself on both; there is no peace or harmony within ! A day or two afterwards, I met, in a smaller circle, at Park place, old Mr. David Willison, father-in-law to Con stable, and printer of the -Edinburgh Review from its commencement. He was one 0 the most in, telligent, amusing old men . I ~evor met . with. Strange that the plinterat ihe. Edinburgh Re view should be a staunch tory ! Ah,' says he, I've pre - served my principles. I've pionecrt d all their abominations through the press ; but my politics are my own ! I say nothing agen their lucubrations on science and belles letters; but the Lord preserve me from their opinions on religion and politics ! Eh, sirs, they are blind guides.' I turned the conversation on Jeffrey. Jeffrey ! he's worse than them all put thegither., Many and mony's the time I thought that mon would have driven me daft. Oh, I know him weel. Ire had more to do with him than was ever agreeable to me ! Did yon ever see his writing ? Of all the pothooks—Lord save us, a cook-maid could have written better with a skewer ! He's often sent me sheets which were actually illegible—a mass of mere up and down strokes—l could have wept to look at them ! Per , haps I could make out the first letter—say it was a p—well, then, all the rest was a matter of guess work; and whether it was particular, or praise. worthy, or professional, or party spirit, or periwinkle, I had to conjecture from the context. Surely never man made such ag, 1, and p, as he does ! And then the cantrips which his highness would occasionally play up ! Often when 1 had got a whole number in type, he would come down, cancel three 'or four articles, and leave me as many fresh ones in their place. And times beyond number he has presented himself to me, seen the proof of a long and diffi cult article, and altered and remodelled every line of it! And then if we made a mistake or two more than ordinary, he would fume, and rage, and fret, and talk of his time and our stupidity, as if his writing was copperplate ! • l've often said to Mr. Constable, Jeffrey will drive me demented at last ; and if ever I'm put into a madhouse, see that he pays the charge o't. But wby didn't Constable inter fere ?" Constable interfere ! Save ye : where's the human being that Jeffrey would bear a word from ? Constable has less influence with him than you or any creature would suppose. Often and often, when he would willingly have had a particular work re viewed, or an article upon some passing topic, he could not for his life and soul get it. He once asked Jef "l-ay, point blank, to oblige him in this way ; but lie never repeated the experiment. The case was this : Constable had given Walter .Scott a very consider 'ble sum for his edition of Swift's works. It sold ;lowly ; and my son-in-law intimated an urgent wish o Jeffray that an article should appear in the next Number of the Edinburgh. Jeffrey n:inself reviewed it ; and in such a strain of unexampled severity, that he nearly damned the affair altogether. Swift's character,—personal, literary, political,—he made mince-meat of it Again : when Matnrin's novel of Women, or Pour et Contre, canke.out.. Walter Si ott, \laturin's private and particular friend, wrote a very favourable review of it. As written by Scott, Jef fray gladly admitted it into the Review; its tone was highly favourable; but when it appeared in print, such was the cutting and maiming to which it had seen subjected, that Mr. Scott could hardly teceg lise his own article ! Scott's a noble fellow,' said the old printer : he's one of the most generous, TenThearted men that ever breathed. Ay, lie's on the right side, too'—and he sipped his Mrs. Ibbottson, by your leave, we'll drink his very good health.' Good, excellent old man, -I never sew him again.' Mrs. Ibbottson,' said four or five in a breath, ' did you hear any thing as to the author of Waverley—it is Scott ?' I can only tell you this -that there appeared to me to be more cordiality, more unreserved frankness, greater intimacy, and a better understanding existing between Mr Scott and \lr. Constable than between him and any other (iterateur whom I saw in Park-place. And his wel come—(though Con Stable was always most hospit able, and to men of letters liberal even to muni icence)—l thought—or fancied—was warmer.' Did you ever mention the subject to Mr. Consta ble?' Yes; once I asked him, what were the cir cumstances which led to-the publication of the first of the Waverley novels ; as till that time he had not introduced to the world many prose works of fiction ? lie said, No, I had not ; but I read it, and so sure was I that it would sell, that I offered the author :even hundred and fifty pounds for the copyright. This he—viewing it in the light of an experiment, and diffident as to its success,-said was too. much ; and for the present, at least, would only take part of it.' This, if my memory is not ! platially treacher ous, is the sum and substance of all that I could learn from Mr. C. respectitigit.'"-= - Living and Dead. The number of cases which remain undecided in the Court otChancery, is said to be 350 ; of which it is conjectured the Ex-Chancellor will pronounce judgment in about 120. The ma jority of these, however, are bankrupt and lunatic petitions. BRITISH SAILORS AND PORTUGUESE NO- I LE.—There are three British ships of the line in the river Tagus at present, and no frigates:— The health of the crews is in the best state pos sible, owing to the fineness of the climate, and the regulations adopted by the Admiral. They a re never allowed to go on shore, except on duty, and consequently have no opportunity of indulging in wine, or quarrelling with the inha bitants. Any quarrels that have arisen may be attributed in a great measure to the rough man ners, and perhaps contemptuous conduct of our countrymen. The British people in general are not famous for their suavity of manner; the Bri? tish sailor still less so ; and in this scorching clime, when the blood is so hot, ever and anon at the boiling point, when the people are so sen sible to trifles, a threat or contemptuous look would be often sufficient to drive these sons of the south to madness, and make them risk not ' only the life of an antagonist, but evet their own lives, to satiate revenge. 1 have heard of no sanguinary quarrels, such as took place at Lis bon, since the army went into the interior, and am co nvinced, that if the natives had not been unnecessarily provoked and insulted, few or no fatal affrays would have occurred. As far as I have had an opportunity of judging, the people, with all their faults, are sensible of kindness, and ever ready to return any little attention or civi lity. All the marines still remain ashore at Be lem, or the neighbourhood. No other reasons have been assigned for their landing than the advantage of exercise, and the benefit which the sailors may derive from having more room on board the ships.
