At the second heat they started from Westminster-bridge, went round a boat which was moored off Battersea-bridge, and down the Mid dlesex shore- to the New Ranelagh Gardens. The weather being fine, the banks of the river were lined with numerous spectators, many of whom appeared Persons of respectability, while the number of pleasure boats, cutters, &c. which appeared on the margin of the Thames, rendered the scene in a high degree in teresting.—The following were the competitors that started for the prize : No. I.—Abraham Craves, 131acktriars, and James' Broockson, Bankside - - - No. 2,—Thomas Johnson, Vauxha ll , and William' Mead, Bankside - • - - No. 3.—Daniel Morton, Blackfriars, and Daniel Mallets, a pers-Bridge - - No. 4.—Charles Westss ood, Vauxhall, and George' Coif, Horse-ferry - s.—James Taylor, Stangate, and Joseph Eas ton, Strand-lane - - - - No. 6.—Edward Burch, Pepper-alley, and William Prizeman, Blackfriars • - - No. 7.—Chrictopber Hall, Paul's Wharf, and James Fuller, Blackfriars - - - Green..

The boat was de livered to the winner at the New Ranelagh Gardens; on which occasion there was a grand display of fire works, and a numerous assemblage of company. Yellow. LAW INTBLLIOBNCE. COURT Or CHANCERY, AUGUST it In a case bilking. Cox, his Lordship deferred mak ing a decree, as he wished to pen it with his own hand. In this case, one of the assignees was a banker ' • the amount of the bankrupt's effects had been ordered to be paid into the bank of this assignee, and the ques tion that made the case peculiar was, whether the banker ought not to pay interest for the money so lodged in his hands ? His Lordship's opinion was, that be ought not to pay interest, unless the money was detained obviously for a loager time than was necessary; in that case, interest ought to be required from the assignee. EX-PARTII ROWTON AND MORRALL IN Tilt MATTER OF BRICKWOOD AND CO. The Lotto CHANCELLOR had fixed to give judgment in this case today. It was an application by Petition to his Lordship, by which the assignees of the bankrupt estate were called on to deliver to the petitioners, who are the proprietors of the Shrewsbury and Chester banks, a quantity of short bills to the amount of upwards of £21,000, their property, but which were in the hands of Messrs. Brickwood and Co. at the time of their failure. When the application was originally before the Court it was not resisted by the assignees, who only alledged, that they did not feel themselves entitled, of their own accord, to undertake the re sponsibility of giving up the bills, a writ of Extent having been taken out by the Crown, which covered these short bills as well as the whole other property in the possession of the bankrupts. They, however, expressed their feeling for the hardship of the peti. tioners' case, and their readiness to yield obedience to any order made by his Lordship. His Lordship , on this ordered the case to lie over till the consents of the different parties interested should be obtained, his Lordship doubting as to his having any jurisdic tion, unless by consent. When the case again came on, on Saturday last, the consent of the Attorney- General, on the part of the Crown to the paying over of the short bills in question to the petitioners, was produced. The assignees for Brickwood and Co. then refused to consent to any order being made, un less the Extents were entirely withdrawn. Mr. MONTAGU, in such circumstances, claimed the protection of the Court in behalf of the petitioners, and in a forcible and energetic speech (a report of which was given_in our paper of Monday), asserted the right of the Court—where his clients, the peti tioners, who were the only strangers to the Court, undertook to be bound by his Lordship's decision— to interfere in the exercise of its equitable jurisdiction, so as to save the petitioners from ruin. His Lord ship, on hearing this argument, ordered a statement in figures to be laid before him, for the purpose of enabling his Lordship to ascertain, how far the peti tioners were or were not creditors of the bankrupts, on the supposition that these short bills should be de livered up to the petitioners. The LORD CHANCELLOR, to-day, called on Mr. Montagu to explain some items in the statement, I which his Lordship did not entirely comprehend. His Lordship alluded particularly to the £26,000 stand ing on the bankrupts' side of the account, and, on which alone, independently of the short bills, the ba lance for or against the petitioners must arise. Mr. Mummy explained, that of this sum A*21,00 were in bills drawn by the petitioners, accepted by the bankrupts, and made payable to the Commissioners of Excise, while the remaining sum of £4,980, also drawn by the petitioners, and accepted by the bank rupts, were made payable to third parties, some of these litter class of bills being for a valuable consi deration, while others of them were accepted without any valuable consideration. Of these bills, amount ing to £4,980, the petitioners had already taken up to the amount of £4,128, leaving of the whole of this sum outstanding only to the amount of £852. In this way, after deducting the sum to the extent of which the petitioners confess that the assignees have a lies on the short bills, the balance due to the peti sioners amounts at this moment to £329, and will I ultimately amount to an additional sum of £852.175. making together £l,lBl odds, all of which will ulti mately fall to be proved under Messrs. Brickwoods' commission. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked Mr. Leach, who was with Mr. Montagu in this case, If he agreed in this as an exact statement of the account between the parties ? Mr. LEACH answered, that he had never heard a word on the subject till this moment. Mr. TROWER, for the assignees of Messrs. Brick wood and Co. gave a similar answer. Mr. LEACH, however, immediately afterwards men tioned that he had no doubt the statement of Mr. Montagu was completely correct. He had mentioned to his Lordship on Saturday that X 2,800 had been paid by, the petitioners on account of the dishonour of the acceptances of the bankrupt, since the period of their bankruptcy ; and he was now informed by Mr. Rowland, the solicitor for his client, on whose state ment he could depend, that the payments thus made up to the present date amounted to £4,128, thereby occasioning a balance, after extinguishing the lien on the short bills, to the extent of £3OO, proveable by the petitioners under the commission against Messrs. Brickwood and Co. Mr. Rowland (the Solicitor for the petitioners) sta ted, that the petitioners had regularly taken up the bills as they became due. The LORD CHANCELLOR had no doubt on earth, if the petitioners had a debt to prove against the bankrupts, that he was fully entitled to decide in this case. Mr. LEACH again stated his. complete conviction that there was here a debt, proveable against the estate of the bankrupts, due to the petitioners. This debt had arisen since the presenting of the present petition, and this circumstance must account for his (Mr. Leach's) ignorance of the existence of such a LORD CHANCELLOR--" Can you file an affidavit to this effect, that there is at present a debt due to the petitioners which they are entitled to prove under Messrs. Brickwoods' commission ?" Mr. MONTAGU- 44 Certainly. There is i 5300 now due to the petitioners independently of the short bills. In the course of to-morrow, bills to the amount of £l6O more become due, and the sum for which the petitioners will ultimately be entitled to prove, in dependently of these short bills, will be upwards of £llOO. The petitioners will undertake to file an Mr. TROWER said, Ms information on the subject of her late son whit is the plaintiff, John was completely p to le th tely s exte nt, diifren 1 before him there would ultimately be a balance of 1 the mortgage-money and interest which . £5OOO due to the bankrupts.

The next question was, how and dwelt upon the aggravated circumstances did the law stand on this point ? Of this hi s Lord. which the seduction had been effected. ship presumed there could be no doubt; and if the The Jury, after a few Moments deliberation, assignees did not meet his Lordship with the plea that sessed the damages at £5OO. he had no jurisdiction over the case, they, he was sa tisfied, could have nothing to state.—The Crown had a right to exercise their privilege of choosing between the two securities which presented themselves; and the creditors of the bankrupts were not entitled to complain of the exercise of this right. The present question came before his Lordship in bankruptcy, but he did not see any reason to induce him, in such a case as the present, to turn the petitioners round, and to put them to the trouble of amending their bill, which could only have the effect of postponing till the day after to-morrow what his Lordship could with equal safety order to-day. On further consi deration of the case, his Lordship was of opinion, that he had this jurisdiction even without any such amendment. The petitioners, who were the only strangers to the Court, had submitted themselves to its jurisdiction, and the assignees were already amenable to the orders of the Court as to the distribution and 'disposal of the assets of the bankrupts. His Lord ship accordingly ordered that the 021,000 worth of short bills should be delivered up by Messrs. Brick wood and Co.'s assignees to the petitioners. IN THE MATTER OF EMDEN, A BANKRUPT. The LORD CHANCELLOR--" I hold in my hand the petition and six affidavits in this cause, the latter of which charges the Bankrupt with wilfully concealing his property from his assignees : .I have read them over three distinct times since I was last in Court; and however much I should wish to divest my mind of the Bankrupt's being guilty of concealment, my most studious investigation of these affidavits has not been able to remove that impression.

Since his decease, there have been a great number of claimants as his next of kin, generally persons in the lower spheres of life. The LORD CHANCELLOR this day made the follow ing order :-46 That the several claimants should go before the Master, and be examined by interrogatories; and the expense of the examination to be paid eut of the estate of the deceased ; as, from the poverty of the several claimants, the next of kin would never come into possession without this kind of interference of the Court, which was distributing equity against herself ; for if the next of kin was not ascertained, the Court being in possession, would be entitled to hold the estate ; and whoever was the heir at law could not complain, as the order enabled him to prove his tide.
