" This match, which excited so much curiosity. and upon which so much money was betted, ter minated very unexpededly this afternoon, soon after two o'clock, very much to the disappointment of all the spedtators. C-plain Barclay and Wood started at the appointed time. and both appeared to b • •n high health and spirits. Wood se: off wth c.sii siderable velocity, which he kept up the whole of the first hour, during which time he went exactly eight miles. In the two succeeding houra_ he slackened his pace a little. going only as the rate tit seven miles an hour; consequently at the end of three hours he had gone 2i miles. " Capt. B ircuy Set off at a much slower pace than Wood, but lie kept it with the greatest exact ness ; he went almost to a minute six miles au hour. At the end of the first three hours, therefore, he had gone 18 miles, and Wood had gained four miles. About this time, the bets began to turn nuns in favour of Wood. At srattiog. they were three to one in favour of the Captain, and as there w.sa a kind of geueral whisper that be was certairity to win, very few people would even take the odus. But when Wood had gained four miles upon his adversary in three hours, the odds against hi.n fell from 3tolt'7 to 4. But during the remainder or she race, Wood's speed and boct•.m seemed com p.etely to fail him. It was necessary, in order to bring up the 20 miles whien he had given Capt. Barclay. teat he should gain lb miles upon him in the remaining ,20 hours ; but instead of gaining upon the Caput . wring t.te second three hours, he did not even seep pace with him. He stopped twice to test, and appeared considerably distressed ; the second time he stopped, he pulled off his shoos and ran without, by ..hicn means he cut his feet. At length, having gone 40 miles in six hours and 2u minutes, he declined the contest, and appeared .so weak,. that there was no probability of his gaining it. it he had continued it. " When Woo I gave in, Capt. Barclay bad re duced the lour miles advantage, which Wood gained upon hi.n io the first three hours, to abou. three miles, and to decide bets, he continued run ning until tie had brought up that distance. " Capt. Barclay went durist the whole time ex.. aely ix miles an hoer, and at the co.iclusion ap peared fresh and strong. After he had gone 98 miles, he stopped and eat heartily. This very un espied:Led termination of the match has created raises: dissatisfaction, at least sarong the losers, and some of them have refused to pay the bets. But the ge ueral opinion seemed to be that the match was pet feel, fair, and that Wood really gave up twin real fatigue, though upon a former occasion he had gone 4J miles in much less time." We understand that all the bets will stand void till the derision of the Joekily Club. Letters were received in town yesterday from Newmarket, cau tioning several persons interested in the event, not to set le their bets for the present. The I'-'nee of Watts generously left a benefa • tion td 501. each to the lnfirinary and parochial poor of Worcester ; and till Duke of Sesssx gave 401. to each. l'heir Royal Highnesses also gave 140 guineas to a deputation of the Corporation of Coventry, to be distributed among the several cha rities of that place. Viscount CASTLIRIAGM came to town, yesterday, at twelve o'clleek, from Es tsheen, Sorry, and a.- tended at bisollicie in Downing-street ; in the even ing his Lordsnip joined Lard AuLoaava's dinner party, at his house in the Admiralty From the Floe Arts being now so universally cultivated, Drawing and Painting become, in some degree, a necessary part of education to both sexes To young females of exalted rank, it is a sourt.e of elegant and rational amusement : and by qual't)- ing those who move in a more humble sphere to in steel others, it is eminently useful to them.

It is much to be lamented, that she late convic tion of Mr Bullock, wine -merchant, for defrauding his creditors, has not operated as a caution to others, who get Involved in debt, from such destructive practices, tout the extravagance cf the age leads to ad evils. On the 18th of last August, William Teeker, the younger, a serge manufaCturer and banker, of Exet-r, and likewise of Cornhill, London, nev,letted to appear to a Commission, ender the Great Seal, making him a Bankrupt, and having due notice thereof, for 35,0001. did not surrender or submit to be examined on the ahove day, in conse. quence of which be was proclaimed an outlaw It being very essential that he should be appro. hended, Mr. Sere', the Solicitor. of Surrev-street, Strand, for the Bankruptcy, engaged Adkins to trace not a-1(1 apprehend him. The officer, in his inquiries, learnt that the Bankrupt's father had been a bankrupt, and was gone to America, and be was going to follow. Adkins accordingly went in pursuit of him to several sea ports, without effect ; he at length learnt that he went by the name of Bottomley, and cohabited with a woman of the name of Crouch, and lodged at Mrs. Churchill's, en May's-hill, Greenwich; he went to Mrs Church. ill's house on Monday evening, but there being ' five roads by which he could make his escape, in the' dark, it he had jumped out ore window, he did not think It prudent to fosse his search after him, but 1 went yesterJay morning, between the hours of sit' and seven, accompanied by S..lmnn, one of the . ? patriile, whom he stationed 'on the cu-side of the ' house, to prevent any person escaping ; and Adkins " having found his way into the house, and to the -4 bedroom door, where Mr. W. Tucker was sup. ' posed to he in bed, after surmounting many diffi. culties, he demanded admittance, and was answered by a female, who inquired who he was, and re quested to know what he wante,l ? After a consi derable altercation, the female agreed to open the door, if he WI uIJ Wilt till she put some clothes on ; which he weed to, provided she was not many minute' ; but she exceeding the time, the Officer renewed his application for the door to be opened, when the female answered, she would not open it, unless he stated his business ; upon which the Oth:er nrol.e the door open, and found Mr. W. Tucker eon- ealea in the curtains of the bed. Mr. Tuekel asked the Officer, if it was not very serious business he was cam upon ? he answered it was. Mn. Tucker inquired what reward he was to have for apprehending him? Adkins replica, that was nothing to him. Mr. 'locker observed. whet ever it .va., he would reward him with a sum con. siderably greater, if he would let him escape ; Ad kins replied, like a good officer, that he knew his duty ton well to be influenced br any sum of money he could offer him, to induce him to permit him to escape. and ordered him to dress himself with out oelay to go with him ; which he accordingly did, and the Officers brought him before Mr. Rase for exarninatien ; when Mr. Page, a Messenger be. longing to the Commissioners of Bankrupts, at. tended, and identified the Prisoner's person, and proved VW Al: the proper forms had been gone through for outlawing the Prisoner. The Prisoner was committed for another exami. nation, when the Assignees and other persons from Exeter will attend.
