SHATING ISTILLICIENCE ZXTRAOIDIOARY. BRENTFORD RACES. The match between the Moinevaring Cat, and Parson Tooke's famous horse Citizen, was de . cided on Thursday at the Brensford course. The cele brated match between Diamond and ILmbktonson did not excite one twentieth part of the interest in the sporting world. At an early hour the reads leading to the course in all dirt ions, were crowded with carriages of every class, horsemen, and pcdes- Diane of all tanks, ages, and descriptions. l'he road from London was in a manner covered with a so lid mass, the crowd being so great, as frequently to render it impossible io move. The race was fif teen rounds of the Brentford Course ; the horses to start from the Stand-house, commonly called the Hustings, down Kiss•book Hill, across the Devil's Ditch, and so round again to the Stand-house. On Tuesday morning the hour of starting was announc ed by the sound of marrow-bones and cleavers, hurdy gurdy music grinding mills, and other me 'odious instruments. A good deal of time was spent in weighing the jockeys. Old Mob rode Cit.- men, was full of porter and gin, and in high spirits. The Colt's rider was many pounds too light, but Alderman C—, Mr. M—, &c. threw in some abut, and made up the deficiency. The jockeys then mounted, and rode to the starting post. The Colt was rode by Attie/rate, in light sky blue; Old Mob rode in purple and orange. Never did two horses appear so unequal, as they stood at the start ing r -s.. The Cat was in low condition, rough in the coat, and did not skew much blood or bone : Citi:rit, on the con , rary, was as sleek as a mouse, stood nea- a hand higher than the Colt, and was in excellent condition ; but he was a good deal ptiffid, and was supgx.sed to have been very much strained in the -bes#, in his late match with the Colt's sire. estirsen, who has been for some time the crack-horse uf Brentford . wasthe farcurite ; and the odds. b-fore start - ing, were, at the lowest, 10 to 1 upon him. Exa3ly at nine o'clock the signal was given, and both horses went off ar full speed. The result of the first round w..s not calculated to change the opinion previously entertained of Citizeh's superinrity. He took the lead, and kept it all the v ry. The second rrpved the Coll to be of VW',/,' bot tom. He went off in a spirited style, lay close to and jos: passed him within abort twenty yards of the post. The odds, however, contin nearly the same, it being di general opinion, that lay by to snake play. 'I he 3d heat gave quite a new turn in favour of the Colt. It now appeared that his rider had held hits in the two first heats, as ha ow ate and went fF with extraordinary velocity, leaving Cif zn nearly a dis:ance behind. The f urth, fifth, and sixth beats, were contested much in dr. , : same way, the Colt proving u.,iformly viaorioiis, displaying fine action, and peat bottom. Dining all this time the poiiulace *hewed ev,ident in vks of chagrin and disappointment. They hooted And hissed the Code wherever he appeared, and, at times, threalencd to break is u; on the course. The 7th i.cat now c;imc on, and the event put them ;n Trod humour. Cd:zeis took the lead, and nevi r suffiTed the Colt to come alongside of him. His appearance, however, was by no means flatter ing. He was h;osi;. , r, and Iris wind so much touched, ho made a noise like a Tourer. The Cell, on the contrary, though hardly pressed, had never turned a her. The Bth heat, both horse; put forth all their stiength. The j"ckeys gave them whip and spur from :he starting post, and they went neck and neck all round, Crtrz , n only winning by a nose. The 9th hert was contested with equal obstinacy, but was won by the Coh, jtist by a single length. 3zts now began to vary considerably; the odds, which, at the ix ginning, were ten and twelve to one, now dropped to three to two, aad font to three. Indeed, atope moment, the bets were even. Great di..r:ontrott now began to manifest itself among the sporting Gentlemen who backed Cistern. They swore he was badly lode; that Old Slob was bribed ; that he was chunk, and did not know what he was doing. Still, however, they had the greatest con fidence in their favourite, knowing him to be a horse of sound bottom. f La 10th and 11th beats ended in favour of the Co.'t. but he was hardly pressed in both, by CaiwKir, who ran him 4ad and girth into the post. Both horses now arp,:ated greatly distressed, and were eat from shoulder to flank. The twelfth heat did not produce much sport. The ('alt lay by. and Citizen came in first without an apparent struggle. Tae thirts-eath heat, however, wisp of a very dif ferent complexion ; Citizea took the lead and ran in a style that threatened to distance his adversary. The course being deep, and much cut by the crowds of ca•Tiages, kc. in the preceding days, ritiXra threw such mmense quantities of mod and diet in.a she face of h.s adversary.'as almost to blind him The consequence was, he eamo in almost a distance, amidst the shouts of the populace. Old Mob now seemed confident of success, cracked hi, whip, and, to those who had charged bim with being drunk, boasted that's spar is the hold was worth tw in the heel. The hope of Citizen's friends Was now almost raised to certainty ; 100 to I were ()Tem' and re fused ; and some even went so far as t!. s;ty, that the Cott was drawn ; but this sentiment was of short duration. Ci 'inert hat lain by in the beginning of the 14th heat, relying upon his superior bottom ; but he under-rated his opponent, and was not able to make up his lost ground. The vit'itory was accordingly declared in favour of the Colt, who won eight out of fifteen he.tts, in tie course of which, he astonished all the knlwing ones by his capital performance. The match, however, cannot be considered as finally decided, as the friends of Citizen complain of mtsi and jotting, and much other foul play, and mean to refer it to the Jockey Club. PRIVATE CuRRESPuNDENCE. MARGATE, ♦VOCST 9. I thank you for the black silk domiao. It arrived safe; but, I am sorry to say, is little the worse of the wear since it came. Your town masquerades at the Pantheon, at the . Opera House, and even those of Mrs. Walker, I was taught to considar as mere bum-drums, compared with what I might expea here, at Bettison's Rooms. To the Masquerade, at Bettison's Rooms, I accordin3ly went, full of the promised pleasure ; but such a masquerade I never witnessed. It was a mere skeleton of one, and only wanted flesh, blood, Mulled, and beauty, to be a real body. There were a few :al ders and sailor: looking as dismal as if they had just escaped the wreck of the boasted inva sion; and myself and others, in our sables, were so many priests, officiating at their interment. But, . I, ing apart, and laying Benison's masquerade out of the q 'ruins, believe me, this is a very pleasant place. Some times, to be sure, we have a little whistling wind, and a ship in, distress; but as to Cie one, it is not half so frightful as your LondOn fires, with which yaw newspapers alarm us ; and as to shipwreck, the vessel must be sinking fast in deed. that is past the case of our sea-doaors. mean, those brave, intrepid Margate tailors, ever read), at the imminent ;mil of their lives, to rescue their fellow-creatures from destruaion. As to the invasion, I find, from your putting all the cart; and carriages into requisiti.in, that you seriously appre hend it. This makes a part of a problem, which I am unable to resolve. I canon conceive how you, who are so much more remote from the danger, should be afraid, while we, who are so much nearer, have not the slightest fear. For my own part, I think Bonaparte must put off the invasion until winter. His troops certainlycould not be accommodated here, for there is not a single bed to spare ; and, I am told, they are equally full at Ramsgate, Broadstairs, and other parts of the coast. The last packet brought 200 passengers: they could not be all ac commo. rated below, and some were glad to stand on the deck during the whole voyage. DEFENCE OF TILE COUNTRY• Yesterday, pursuant to advertisement, a meeting of r,speftable Farmers, Hotse-dealers, Waggon nia.ters, Stable-keepers, and Master-carmen, was held at the Globe Tavern, Fleet -street, for the pur. pose of affording a prompt supply of horses, car. rmges, and other necessary assistance to govern ment, for the conveyance of troops in the event of aft nal invasion. About twcuty.four respellable persons of the above description attended, the great , ' number of ullom described the carts, hones, &c. they were enabLA to offer, and the propositions of criikh were thankfully received by the Chairman. The busi ness lasted but a short time ; several very liberal proffers were, however, made, and the meeting ad journed, after resolving that the number of wag gons, horses, carts, &c. which had been subscribed, should be inserted in the Newspapers, *ith the day of their neat meeting. Thursday night a man, having the appearance of s foreign sailor, went to the Lodge of the Queen's !louse, and sail he wanted to see the King and the Queen, when Ow Porter advised him to go away, which he did, lilt ilurned again in ahoue a quar• ter an hour; co width the Porter ordered the sen tinels to take him to the Guard-house, where be was kept in custody, till yesterday evening, when he was cremined before Mr. Boren and Sir Wi LI.IA M PA 'SONS at Bow-street. He stated himself to be a Prussian sailor, and that he had lately come to this country in a corn smack, from Embdca, for the purpose of getting a ship for the West Indies, cer America; bat from his strange behaviour, and incoherent discourse, seemed to wish himself to be considered as a lunatic. Great doubt, however, being entertained by the Magistrates, as to the faA, he was ordered to de committed to prison, till the pri.p.:r ihquiry can be made respell ing Yesterday a Coronor's Inquest wa-, lield on t'te lx4si of G.

TM! was a Petition iir the Matter of HornhY, o:in and another, bankrupts. praying drat the Petitioner might claim, prove, and restive dividend out of the separate estates of the batik. • sorts. Mr. Rout ry stated, that the Petiticiner had • aken the joint securities of tire hankritists, to a very considerable amount, and had come in and proved under the Commission against the joint estate of the • bankrupts. The question then before the Court was, merely, whether the Petitioners, having already dammed and proved a debt against the joint estate s • - could now come in and claim against the sevesui• seperate estates? He contended, that the Petitioner was fully entitled, and had a right to take against the separate estates, notwithstanding the chums of the other joint, as well a< separate creditors. Learned Counsel went into a very long argummn in support a! his proposition, and quoted several:caws, 'decided by Lord' Chancellarttardtricke,and others*. Mr. Rion an os, en' the other hand, contended' that the Petitioner had no right to take against the 'sepat ate estaPe of the bankrupts, having made his el•tetion, and claimed against the joint estate tno • case, L, observed, had been decided on the sullied. The question came to this, whether a man, having eleded to take against the joint estate, can after wards make a further eledion, or take against Alta separate estate, to the prejudice of all the other joint creditors ? It was a new case, in whi.:h much • matter of importance was involved. Mr. Roams said, that unless there Ives a Mr.' plus, over and above, of the hankrupes estate, the Petitioner could not be deprived of his remedy against the separate estates. lie relied chiefly upon the orders formerly made by Lord Hardtsicke in this matter. The LORD Cnaaczttos observed, that it was necessary to take time to look into the Lauguage of those orders, before this case could be decided. There certainly were some judicial preced,.ots, which, he had no doubt. would tlucidato thi, matter. Those, and the several cases mentioned, be would carefully examine. He could not see how a cie. ditrr, taking a joint eeeuril, could be debarred from rcsoctiv to the separate egates of the panics. He always thought that a eredi-or should have the benefit of taking against both estates, nor could be see in what manner the other joint creditors would be prejudiced thereby. However, he observed it would be a little too hazardous to alecide the ques• tion, without reading the orders areal) , made, and looking into the several cases Imam ills point, the names of which be direttesl might be fuenished him. Er Ark t en IN TON MATTIS Or IL•Nt. This was a petition, praying that certain prawns, representatives of Joint Tyson. sh.cl., he res:rained • from proceeding in several actions ai , and that • they may also be restrained from briagi; any 112 1 11 f action. against the Petitione. n ; and that the nuns of 10,2001. and 10001- be ex; z.. , ,d from theoofs of debts upon the Si, in this nsA errs The ATTORNEY GRINER AL stated, 'that ..lar astl John Spar had proved a debt of opte:::.1. le further sum of 10001. under .she Conan issi..ll of Bankruptcy in this case. upon eleven hale of En change, chums by Tya a upon Mess:'. i.a..e and Frazcr, pay.wie par apon which a dividend had been made, and the consideration given for those bills were others upon equal terms, the one as sisting the other in this way. Alter the dividends had been made. the Petitioners discovered that Sears had received, in the year 179 , two bi Is front Ty o•n, ti. en resit!' ng at St. Kitt's, amounting to 2! as Id. ; and also a consigiunent of sugars, ah ountirg to 19191. 9s. 7d. which considerably reduced the net balance. This was to be carried to the a-cohni of Tyson, to the credit of - the bankrupts. The fad ionen contended, that those bills foe!. 71. cis Id. and the consignment of sugars, were onIT refaatla to the bills proved under the Commit. ton; whle the opposite party insisted, they were to go in dis charge of other bills, which had been negociaced between those parties. The Learned Counwl• served, that it was but reasonable, the matter shhted be enquired into, and that it should be ante: tanned, whether the bills and consignment ware retetabk to the one or the other. and to which account they ought to he applied. Mr. Haar, on the part of the Respondents, ob served, that the Petitioners bad been defending • those anions which the Attorney General sought se 0 restrain for upwards of tea year'. He stated, thit 3 1' a variety of truncations had taken place between those parties. That Lane and Freon had drawn bills on Spar, payable to Tyson, to the amount of 23,400 L and to meet those bills, Spar drew on Lane and Fraser to the like amount. Spar had paid all his acceptances, and Lane and Fraser con tinued to pay Ifs for some time, till February 1791, when they were returned. Spar was dead, and 'Tyson was in toe West Indies, so chat no atidavit could be procured as to these fads, which. *Cr eleven years lying by, they now try to restrain the anions. He then read several letters between these part'''. which all explained the tranmaions, and ap peaked very satisfadory to the Court. The AT roaiseir GENERA I. observed,he had never seat those letters, and therefore could not say any thing about them. Thetoao Cm tamest. toe declared, that it struck him that Mt. Hart had made a very strong case for his client. These letters west a rest way in clear ing up the matter. and the better way would be for the ATTORNEY C 'LSE'S A L to be furnished with the letters, and that the busineis might be again men tioned to -morrow ; the mean time he would take Mr. Hart's brief, which cont.hud copies of thbse letters, and read them over carefully.
