LORD CHEDWORTH's WILL.

Mr. RICHARDS moved the 'LORD CHANCELLOR
that his , Lordship would be pleased to -dire& an
issue, for the purpose of having the cause tried:
over again, on the subje& of the Will of the late
Lord Chedworth, on the question of the Testator's
Sanity at the time of executing, his Will, the former
trial having taken place before Lord Eu.ststs °ROUGH
and a'Special Jury, in Westminster-Hall; at the last
Sittings there; when a verdiet was found for Mr.
Wilson and another, who were the Plaintiffs, and'
which was in favour of the Will. This Motion'
was made on behalf •of the Heir, at Law of that
Noble Lord, who resisted•the Will.
The Loan CHANCELLOR observed, that, he had
the honour of knowing the late LOrd hedworth as
well as any of the Noble Lords who had been ex-
aminzd as Witnesses in the Cause in the Cuurt of
Law. It would be indecorous in him, as he teas
sitting judicially in this case, to give testimony in
it, but if he bad been examined as a Witness, his
evidence would have been of an import similar to
that of the other Noble Lords who had been ex-
amined. However his Lordship directed this Mo-
tion to stand over for a fortnight, to afford the party
an opportunity of producing a fuller affidavit that)
the present one in support of the application.

The Plans and Models of the new intended Har-
bour at Brighton have been laid before the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty by Mr. DODD, the
Engineer.
,It
.tis fortunate for the Country having
men to its naval department who pay so much
attention to its nautical improvements.
A melancholy accident occurred at. Ramsgate Ott
Monday last :—An OEficer of the'Royal Perth Mi-
litia (Captain BARCLAY), walking up High-street, •
holding the hand of his nephew, a fine boy of eight
years pf age, the child unfortunately let go his
slipped off the kirb-stone, and fell into the carriage-
road"; at the instant Mrs. Townley's coach passing,
rail over his chest, and killed him on the-spot. •
Joseph Edge, a man in the 6lst,year of
,his. age,
undertook; for,a considerable wager, to walk from '
the. Angel Inn, at Macclesfield, to ,the Swan Inn,^
Lad-lane;.'London (168 miles), in fifty successive
hours: • He set out from. Macclesfield at o'clocki
on Monday night, and walked. to Kagworth, Lei-
cestershire (5 t miles), in eleven hours ; he thenl
took some refreshment, and drank a pint of beer, ,!
which is, supposed to have disagreed with him ; afterH
walking a, short distance, he, became very ill : 11e!
still exerted himself,•.but.at length fe:l down unable..
to prosecute his journey thrther.. .

The Water rose, so, high in the lower parts
Of the City; as ..to rill the kitchens and cellars of
the houses • and in some Aiarts of the Borough
bridges of licks were constructed for the! foot-
passengers.
At the hotti,e. of Messrs.. HODSOLL and Snialtio,
Ilankei; in -the Strand, two servants were dashed
from a front window to the opposite side of the
room. Their hair was singed, but they received no
Materialinjdry. the roasts of several Ships in the
River were shivered from top to bottom, and, we
dergtaird, that at Islington one or two licirse4 were
linocked down.- • 'The'effeas of the storm have been
molt seriously felt in the environs. of the Metropolis,
where the gardens, &e. have been completely inun,
dated and deStrdyed.
AbOuse in Flint-street, near 'the King's-Bench,
was considerably damaged by the lightning the
chimney; was thrown down, the roof destroyed, and
the windows forced, out, happily '(vithout any one
sitstaining the leist •injUry.' • An apartment in the
house whieh suffered most taught fix?, but was
extinguished.. . , . . ,
We may expe& to hear of many fatal events pro-
&lced by this dreadful con flirt of the elements: the
rain poured dOWn in torrents, and'in many parts of
the Metropolis the streets exhibited appearances that
seemed, in the apprehension of timid minds,. to
threaten another Deluge.

General Lord HEATHFIELD is appointed to at as
Gold Stick, during the absence cif Lords CATheART
and HARRINGTON the former of whom takes the
command 'of the Troops in Scotland, and the latter
those in Ireland.
