Yesterday, the load-expected match between the Earl of D AIL iNoros's famous horse Par,lion, and tiro MaLLl , res no less famous horse Setwho, was de rided upon Lewes Race Ground. the distance was tour miles, equal weight, each horse carrying eight stone seven pour jf No match has taken place for a long time,thar etir 7 ied so ninth interest. The people of Brighton, Worthing. and all the other neighbouring towns and villagei, at an early hour began to put 1 , themselves in motion. About 12 o'clock the coin pa-,y upon the ground amounted to about 1000 ; hit in less than an hour they exceeded 3000. and many bets were made. Saacho had been.always the favourite, and for some days past the odds were 7 to 4 in his favour. .On Wednesday, however, they varied a little, and came down to 5 to 4; but yesterday morning public opinion declared in favour of Noiton, the odds completely changed sides, and 6 to 4 were frequently laid upon 'ins. This revolution was produced by a report that Soothe was not well. At a quarter to two, his Royal Highness the Prince of Walls arrived upon the ground, in his barouche and six beautiful greys. His Royal Highness sat upon the barouche seat, and was driven by Sir Jostle Lane. The company in , side were the ffarl of DaILLISOTON. Mr. SMITH, and three other Gentlemen. The barouche drove up towards the judge's box, and took its station at a distance of about twenty yards from it. Mr. Mecum, the owner of Seneho, drove up soon Sher, in his harouche and four beautiful greys with the Countess of BAIRYMODIC, and dam other Ladies inside. At two o'clock, the two horses came upon the ground. Poriliort was the first. He was walked the length of the railing, and was surrounded by the company, who were greatly pleased with his fine appearance. Great aCtivity was now used to clear the course, no person being su ff ered inside the railsag . In this business Mr. - Metkont shewed great anxiety, and exerted himself very much. At five minutes past two the horses were saddled, and Mr. Mekusit went up to Scosche, and led him about ten yards before the start. !Incase rode Sa*e4e, in a whit, jacket and crimson sleeves. Periling, was rode by young Cris rate, in a light orange jacket, with gold lace stripes. Expeßation was now raised to its extreme height. The moment of trial at length arrived, and the Intact started at ten minutes past two. Pavillon took the lead, and kept it about four lengths for the first two miles. Straciite now began to fetch up his distance, and gained about a length in the third mile. Five minutes had now elapsed, and the two horses had turned the pest. Peathes• maintaining his last mentioned distance a-head of Sancho. the 'WS now ran two to one upon Position. Just in the flat, at the commencement of the last mile, the grand straggle and display of speed and jockeyship commenced. In running home this last mile, Sam, 'NI felt himself upon the ground where he usually made his pushes against the hill. and Boccie now pursued the same system. S,ncht ran in a fine style up to Pavilion. passed him, and for a moment vittory appeared doubtful. This ars duous sal anxious struggle lasted until the horses came up to the distance-post, when, to the great tor. row and disappointment of every one who did not gain by the event. Suiche suddenly bloke com pletely down. Pavilion ran home, and woo easy. It was in his near fore foot that San. ho failed. He was so lame, it was with difficulty he caaried his weight to the winning post. Just at the moment Saserhe broke down, the odds had changed greatly in leis favour, and .5 .o I was betted upon him. lkerslita did not appear in she least distressed. Mr. Mexttaw, it is said, had lint,oool. depending upon this match, including the 2,0001. f..r which the match was made. He will also be obliged to forfeit half of the two matches, which Semehe was to run ; that is, a main at Brighton. ler the same sum, between the same horses; and the match for 10001. against Ili. Royal Highness the Prince of Watts's famous horse Hip &zee/. Xoteisi will never be able to tun again. The complaint is in the fetlock.

Mr. Pestcrvai., on behalf of the Defendants, osls kerved, 'hat they had demurred to the Plaintiff's bill; and he begged the indulgence - of the Costa to hear the arguments on an early day.. f! , ..- LORD Cfl A NCIEL LOR replied, that he had no ol)jeslion to bear the arguments at any tittle, but he still was of opinion, that this case could not be re moved from that of Bathurst and Kearsley, which w,ot . completely along with it in every parti cular, except that there the Duchess Of liingnon had appointed her own short-hand writer. The question, he said, ought to be decided in a Court of Law. Mr. PERCIVAL answered, that by the present m )de of proceeding, they were precluded from go ing into a Court of litw. The Ca A liCtt. LOU then said, he would give the parties every opportunity to bring the question fairly before the Court, but at present he felt little diffi- Culty upon the subject. The Souci roa-Gcnseat suggested, that the cause might as well come on, upon an order for a re-hearing. Mt. Fos stattque replied, that they had consi dered a demurrer was the most respectful way of bringing the question before the Court. TheCliancet.t.oe remarked, that he should not feel it tae slightest disrespect to him, let it come on is what shape it would, he was ever ready and wil hog to bear it.

Mr Owen, for the Petitioner, stated frem his affidavit, that the Petitioner was oat of the king dom when the Commission was issued against him ; that the time for his surrender bad been enlarged; but he had been in Rotterdam, endeavouring to re recover a large sum of money which was due to him, and he ..as much delayed on his journey and voy..Re, so that he could not possibly return within the time the Learned Counsel observed, that al though the Court could nit purge him of the fe lony, yet in all case+ similar to the present, hie Lordship had tne power to m..ke such order. e LORD Csisercsttaa ob.erved, that a simi lar applicatioa baci been made to him not long ago, on the past of one inhn , trm, a bankrupt; spa which occasion he was honoured with a correspond. enee with Eari at. Vincent ; from which it ap peared, that the man was engaged in a very im portant and meritorious service. He, in that ca• granted the order ; but as he could not also purge him from the felony, be had his pardon prepared under the Great Seal.

This was a question upon the constraiiso of the late Lord Clive's will; and the A rrosecy-Gine. aAL applied to put of therhearing to a %tom dry, in consequence of the absence of Mr. Wingfield, who was particularly interested on behalf of the minor, and was obliged to attend Circuit.
