daylight, the general appearance of this amazing

compared to a long track of ploughed ground, mov-
ing and smoking along, raised on banks from fifteen
to forty feet high. The end of it, however, presented
a bold front of vivid fire, about fifteen or sixteen feet
high, and eighty paces in extent. While it moved
forward in a body, the loose stones and cinders pre-
senting less resistance to the stream behind, impelled
in a continual succession from the top, relied crack-
ing down its rough sloping sides and front, advanc-
ing before the main body, and burning the grass, the
weeds, and the grape vines, like light troops skir-
mishing on the front and flanks of an army marching

COURT •F CHANCERY, OCTOBER 30.

The Lotto CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall,
and heard many motions, the most interesting was
that of

EGERTON V. PLOWDEN, Esq.
_ _

Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY moved for an injunction against
Francis Plowden, Esq. restraining him from publishing
a book, of which he is the author ; this motion was
founded on an affidavit, stating, that Mr. Egerton bad
advanced to Mr. Plowden £454 on a moiert:otlithe
copyright of a book, called The History of Irtlakef,
work in three volumes in quarto, published by Mr.
Egerton, and sold for Xt. That afterwards Mr.
Plowden published, by another bookseller, a work
containing much of the substance of the former, and,
of coarse, injurious to its sale, for the latter wa‘; in two
volumes octavo, and sold at 4s. The motion was
granted upon this statement of facts.

I never saw a painting which gave any thing like
a correct idea of lava, yet it appears no difficult task.
I could discern nothing of the fluid part of the stream;
yet, until somewhat cooled, by flowing several
it must be liquid immediately underneath the thin

light crusted surface. Just after issuing from the
crater, I should think it flowed at the rate of four
