run into large shallow pans, where the fluid is evapo-
rated, after which the solid part is calcined. That this
process extricates a large quantity of sulphurated hy.

of supporting combustion, and, consequently, unfitted

of two miles, and in general for halt a mile. Sir Sa-
muel then quoted two cases of nuisance in which the
Chancery had been applied to, in one of which the
Chancellor had refused to interfere, not deeming the
the nuisance a public one ; and in the other Lord
Loughborough had ordered the nuisance to be re-
moved.

THE LATE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.—.His Grace had
been confined to his town residence, in Piccadilly, in
a fluctuating state of health, for several weeks. The
fist attacks were spasms in the chest, which were I
succeeded by a difficulty of respiration. They con- t
tinued more or less violent until his death. During
the last week he could not rest in bed ; for five nights
he sat up in a chair, which becoming irksome, a
chair-bed was provided. During the Sunday preced-
ing his demise, his Grace was considerably better ;
Ile was enabled to walk upon the terrace in front of
Devonshire House for at least an hour, and after-
wards to eat a hearty dinner. The first indications
of extreme danger were repeated vomitings, about
three o'clock oil Monday afternoon. The whole of
the medical attendants were then called in. About
five o'clock, his Grace, being relieved in some de-
gree, but much exhausted by the convulsed state of
his frame, laid himself down on the chair-bed ; but
after remaining 20 minutes, he exclaimed to his apo-
thecary who was in attendance, " I cannot stay in
bed !" His extremities were then getting cold. The
difficulty of breathing increased about nine o'clock.
A few minutes before ten his arm was bound up, for
the purpose of opening a vein. Just as the surgeon
was preparing the lancet, the head of the patient fell
back, and he expired in the arms of the Duchess.—
A consultation among the Members of the Faculty
present, afterwards was held, on the subject of the
disease which caused his Grace's death ; when they
appeared to be unanimously of opinion, that it was
water on the chest which had communicated to the
heart. There were present at the last moments of
the late Duke, the Countess of Besborough and Mr.
\\'iiliam Spencer. Expresses were sent off to all the
different branches of the family who were in the coun-
try.—Lord and Lady Morpeth were overtaken, on
their way to Castle Howard, the seat of the Earl and
Countess of Carlisle ; they arrived in town yesterday
morning. His Grace was a very respectable No-
blunan, but though one of the chief props of the
Whig Party in this country, never distinguished
himself as a politician. He was of a grave turn
in private life, yet not insensible of humour, and
of a very hospitable temper. He was fond of the
:society of men of wit and distinguished talents ;
and the company whom he assembled at his magnifi-
cent seat at Chatsworth, as well as at Chiswick and
town, would have been conspicuous in any age for
parts and information. He died in the sixty-third
year of his age, having been born, Dec. 4, 1748.

SOURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 20.
KUCKBR V. ATKINS.
This was an insurance from New York to any port
in the Baltic. The vessel was captured by a boat
from shore as she was hovering near her port of dis-
charge. The loss was known in December, 1810,
but the assured did not abandon until the month of
April.
Lord Et.t.wszonouon held this too late, and that
the assured must abandon, within a reasonable time,
to entitle him to claim for a total loss. 1-lis Lordship
however told the Jury, that in making up their esti-
mate of a partial loss, the only thing to deduct from
the total loss was the chance of recovering the cargo,
and the Jury would consider how much they thought
that chance worth.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damage on ave-
rage loss 80 per cent.
