'CdURT OP CHANCERY, lawcomes
EATualum, Jour 11.

A WRIT NEetZEAT NEGRO.
Mr. HART..." I have an application to make to
your Lordship, which I was requested to do in your
private room ; but if your Lurdvhip would coot
your eye over the Petition it would prevent those
Soho 1 see from cateltiog the 'vogue—for if tlwy did,
it would frustiate the Affect of the opplicstino."
The Lotto CLIANCELLOR" I think you have
'said too much already, Mr. Hart."
His Lordship then looked over the Petition, and
appeared to doubt.
Mr. lIRRT—" We have been told at the Council
Office that a similar process has been islgged."
The LORD CHANCILLOR-41 This Court has
nothing to do with the mode of transacting 'nisi-
mess in the Council Office. You may hike the
process of this Court as far as it is prayed tor. and
'wake what use of it you can."

INJUNCTION.
ir/HITAIRSII V. PERRYMAN.
Sir SAMOBL ROMILLY moved for un isijunction
to restrain the Defendant from collecting the part-
bership debts of the Plaintiff u►d the Defendant,
and from disposing of any of the partnership pro.
prey, under the following cirCutnstances:—The
Plaintiff and Defendant entered into pismire-ship
as chemists and druggists, in the year 1813, for
the te►m of twelve years. Tlwre was a clause in the
deed of partnership, that if tither of the partners
issued negotiable pape► for any other porpose than
of the conceru, that the other was at liberty to dm-
'oolve the partnership. The bu•iuess was carried on
by the Defendant as the maiiager of bosh parties.
The Plaintiff had found oat that the Defendant
had given an accommodation bill, in the name of
the firm, to a third person, for the sum of 300/.
and that he had received several sumo of 'floury on
account of the concern which be had appl:ed to his
own use, in direct violation of the articles of parUier-
►hip. The Plaintiff had in consequence served him
with notice of the dissolution of partnership on the
bib of the present month. Under these considera-
tions he (she Learned Counsel) had uo doubt but
his Lordship would grant the motion.
fir. Batton?, Counsel fur the Defendant, said,
it was impossible for him to oppose the injuuctiou ;
at the same time, he was certain that his client
could pot in a full answer to the Plaintiff's bill,
which would be done in a few slays, sod in the mean
time he trusted that his Learned Friend (Sir Sio-
inuel) would be satisfied with an undertaking that
sio waste would be committed, which would snake
the appointing of the receiver unnecessary.
The LORD GMANCELLOR—" You cannot say a
word against the injunction. I must grant the
'ion as prayed for. You say the answer will be put
in in a few days; then you UM Witte to 4111401 We the
isijasict" . Although the receiver is granted, lie
cannot be appointed before the time you have men-
-IMtied. In which case, if your instructions are cor-
rect, yonr client commit be injured."
Motion grouted.

ACCOUNT OF THE INVENTION OF
DR. BKEWSTKIt'S KALEIDOSCOPE.

As this instilment lass excited great attention, we have
no doubt that our readers will be gratified with a short
history of the inveation. In 11114, whets Dr. Brewster wits re-
gard in a scrim of experiments on the polarisation of light
by successive reflections between plates of glass, which
were published in the Philosophical Troosortioss for
1813, suit !immortal by the Royal Society of Lunduo with the
Copley Medal, ilbe reflectors were In some cases imbued to
each other, and he had occasion to remark the cia cider ar-
Lingeinest of the images of a medic rounds centre, or the
multiplication of dor sectors formed by the extremities of
the glass plates. In repeatiug at a subsequent permit, the
experiments of M. Blot, on the action of fluids upon light,
Dr Brewster placed the fluids in • trough funned by two
plates of glass cemented lugeder at an angle. The eye la.-
ing 01PCM&Iily placed at une end, some of the cc meal which
hail been pressed through between the plates appeared to he
waned into a regular figure. The symmetry of this figure
being very remarkable, Dr Brewster set himself to int estigate
the caper bribe planionseison, and in Mollie this he discovered
the leading principles of the Kaleidoscope. Ile tumid that
in order to produce a perfectly beautiful mid cynietrical
L run, three mediation were necessary.
1. That (he reflectors should be placed at as angle, which
was an eras or as odd aliquot part of a circle, when the
object was refill*/ ; or the area aliquot part of a circle when
the object was annular.
t That out of as inlitaite Number of positions for die ob-
ject both within sad without the freemen, there was may
use position where perfect symmetry could be obtained,
namely, by placiug the object in coutaet with the cads of
the stilettoes.
3. That out of an infinite number of positions of the eye,
there was only ewe where the symmetry was perfect, namely,
as near as possible to the tingslar point, so that the circular
field could be distinctly sees ; and that this point was the
kap owe oil of as Meade number at Ishii ls the iluiformity
of the light of the circular field was • minimum.
Upon these principles, Dr. B. constructed an instrument,
in which he fixed perimeoessily serum the rods of the re-
flectors, rimers of cialoared glass, aid ether irregular ob-
jects, and be *hewed it is this state to 1001111 r Members of the
Royal Society of Edinburgh, who were south shuck with
the beauty of the forms. In this rase, however, the forum
were warty primmest, and • slight sedation was pi educed
by varying the position of the instrossent, with respect
to die light. The great step, however, towards the comple-
tion of Ilse iustrusseat, remained yet to be made, sad it was
Tait till some time afterwards that the idea occurred to
lk. B. of giving Notion to objmes, inch as iiiecis of en.
?wired plus:, 4-r. adock mere either
.d.sed or placed loosely
to a cell of the end of the instrummet. When this step ems
made, the kaleidoscope in its simple fortis was completed.
In this state, laiwri, r, lIIC kaleidoscope could not be CON-
siderr.l as a general philosophical lusts unient of universal
application; Cur It was Meapaide of producing beautiful
forms useless the object wee wetly its perfect contact with
*hero(' of the reAreturs.
The local, and by far the meal important step of the in-
veil I ton, was therefore to remove this limits* ion by unpile) ism
a draw tube and lens, by means of which beautiful forms
(owlet be created from objects of all sows, and at all distances
from the car . Its this way the power of the kaleido-
scope was indefinitely extended, and every object in nature
conlil be intioductd into the picture, is the same niamiei as
lf these of had pees reduced in sixe,sad actually placed
at the end of the relleetors.
The few who are capable of understanding, the erinciples
and construction of Dr. Breubter's patriot instrument,
eiusot fur a maw, doubt, nut only that this 1111SiNU-
uncut produces effects which caucus pessitily be produced
liy any cussbinatioo• of mirrors that bare Intlei itu been
described, and Which Miasmata mid than potable
who have invaded the patent, have been aims tttt • in
tt.utr own defeuee to consider as ■nuripatiots of the
kalen-
iloacupe but that the very principlis of its construct-
Con. and the determination of syrainetty, were silver before
Investigated by any optical author.

CURIOUS MECHANICAL INVENTIONS.

Mod realer% have heard of John Sp. nee, the inzettinas
individual at Linlithgow, who hari applied the ma:melee
power to the modnetinn of a perpeluel motion. We are
etaahled to give a short skrteh of his history and inv •ntioa.
He was, in early life, put by his parent. an apprentice to
a shoemaker, but the natural brut of his genius leaned to.
wards mechanics, ism! he
says that wheels and laveis occupied hi. mind (loin his
ea►liest segollection, and (list lie wits happy only when be
nu ioviratiug ar etnistriteting what lie had invented.
A. soon as his appreist.ces.ltip was expired, he left his
fishier town and went to GI isgimr, not with the view of fol-
lowing, out the trade of a whoesiteker, heat in the hope of get-
ting into sit eimiloyinent *bids 110111‘1 plaee bun near some
of the magnificent machines used by the massufacturess of
that ell?. Uniti-its ailed as an !MIS!, however, and utterly
ignorant of apiuniii4 sod weaving, it was difficult for him
to tied a sainatiuu aboutt a manufactory which be snit anxi-
ous to

At last he thottilhi himself qualified fur the humble silos.
t. of the keeper of au en;itose, and accordingly engaged
himself in that cap wily. For two years his daily (occults-

. . .

The invention of the long sought-for p.,pcittri/ wotkut
appeared to him a spleuthil tnici Kite, i ibe diffi-
culty which attended it, and it matted his ambition by the
very obstacle. which it pi melded tic dir.cied Ilia itizenuity
to that object, and at lemoh he produced the piece of
in. thallium which we me wow to until:C._ -

The madame which he at preseut chew■ is the lost he
ccesedrisciell. It is made of timber, and fachioneel by his
own bands; of coar►e, it is rather a practical develupciuteit
of the principle, than nu application of it to ally purpose' f

there can be uu doubt, fur it is sit idler more our Ivies th:in
