Five o'clock was the hour appointed for starting, but it was sevens before the boats made weigh from the principal,arches of.Blackfri4r's Bridge. At the first offset; and until they got. off Hungerford, they were nearly on a par ; but the next tack, of the Atalanta filled her mainsheet in . a moment, and carried her through the centre arch of Westminster- Bridge, leaving her antagonists off Cotton Garden. A favourable breeze springing up, the Mercury and the Caroline made way considerably ;, but the others did not get through the Bridge before the Atalanta . was off Lambeth Palace. On weathering the point off the White-house, the wind flattened into a'. calm, and then the • Caroline and Mercto), gained upon the Atalanta. Bets were laid on board the Boats which attended, in favour of the Mercury (Mr. A3TLEY'S), of two to one. A fresh breeze springing, up, the Ata/anta's sails filled, and she skudded rapidly before the wind. It was half after eight o'clock, before the Atalanta got round the boat stationed at Putney-bridge. The Mer cury and the Caroline were then a quarter o f a , mile and the others above a mile. At ten o'clock, the Atalanta came in for the Prize, it be ing stationed in a boat off Vauxhall Stairs. Th e Caroline and MerCuty were distanced about two miles, .and the others gave up the chace before they' arrived at Putney Bridge. The value of the Cup is. 20 guineas. From a Newspaper printed at Gibraltar, entitled the Gibraltar Chronicle, we extraa the following intelligence: " Gibraltar, 2114 2§. f 4 The Bombay Army, commanded by Lieutenant General CRAIG .' consisting of ten thousand men, Britiii•and Sepoys, - the finest Troops in the world for that Country), had landed at Suez, whither they had been conduEted by a powerful Naval force 'tinder Admiral BLANXETT. • • April, " The 22d o f tt JOHNBORLASR WARREN had effeled his junction with Lord KEITH, who, being also reinforced by the CAPTAIN PACHA with four Sail of the Line, had altogether Seventeen Line of Battle Ships with him before Alexandria, and one in Aboukir Bay. Sir SYDN E Y SMITH had proceeded up the Nile with a number of Albanians, and the English gun-boats. The French gun-boats had re treated before them to Grand Cairo. " The whole French force is supposed to amount eight thousand men, who are very much dissa sfied. " The British Army are most plentiftilly supplied with all kinds of provisions.; and the wounded Ge neral Officers are recovering fast, except General MOORE, whose wound in the leg continued so troublesome, that it was apprehended he must go to Malta till he gets well. " On Monday last 68 prisoners of war,- belong ing to various English Privateers which had been - captured and carried into Spanish pOrts, arrived in the Garrison. , They bring us the following in_ formation, the truth of which has since been con . firmed On the 7th inst. His Majesty's Brig of War - Speedy, commanded . by Lord - Co cak AN E, fall in with some Spanish vessels, under convoy of His Catholic Majesty's xebec, El Game, of 258 men, and 36 guns. The Speedy captured nine ships of the convoy ; and, after having sent men on board each of the prizes, there remained only twenty-five men out of seventy, her original complement : she carries fourteen four-Tounders, In this situa tion she was" chaced by the xebec, which gained upon her rapidly, until at last the Speedy found it impossible to escape but her' brave ComMander was resolved she ghoul,' not be a cheap conquest. Accordingly a warn) aftion commenced, which how ever did not last long, as the xebec, after having lost some of her .hands, surrendered to the Speedy, and was taken by her, aloog with the other ptiies :lad prisoners, into Mahan hartione," i tRV _M'PORI": COURT OF KING's .13ENtH, JULY 3.. 'rut MASTER, WARDEN, AND COMPANY OF TAE TRINITY HOUSE, v. WHITE'. Mr. GAliltOW on the part of the . Prosecution, said, he was Counsel in this Case for the PrOseeti_ tioa, which was instituted by the Corporation of the Trinity House. He was extremely - sorry that this ill-judging Defendant bad given the Prosecu tors the trouble of coming with this Case to the Court. The Prosecutors had the management of a concern of great importance,to the Public, and a trou blesome one it was to them, for they bad to controul a very 'troublesome body of men, of whom the be fendant was a member ; they were called Ballast heavers, and if they were allowed to judge of their own conduft, and none else were to judge of it,, there would be wild work. There were certain departments set apart for different uses at the. Office which the COrporation had the direction of; it was at the Trinity House.—Proper distindions were observed for distind classes-,there wa r s a room for the Captains of Ships—rooins for others—there was a place for Coal heavers also. The Defendant dis regarding these distindions, and disregarding the rules of good manners ton, went into another room, and when ordered to withdraw, , refused it, and created a very great disturbance and. behaved out rageously, in consequeuce of which they were ob liged to use force-to turn him out, and he was pro iecuted for his misbehaviour, .and here the Case. came to be tried in a Civil Adion, the ()bled of which was to teach Coal-heavers their ciiity. But . .the Defendant had the good fortune.to be, advised by Mr. ADAM : the result was, that asverdid was now consented to for col. and if the Defendant coil, duded himself as he ought to do, care would be .taken that he should not eventually be a sufferer by this proCeeding. VerdiEt for the Plaintiffs, damages to!, NICHOLS AND ANOTHER 2". COWDERY. This was an Action by the Plaintiffs, Mr. Ni chols a Surgeon, and Mr. Darby, an Iron- - monger, at Bath, Patentees of a certain oven, against the Defendant for having infringed their Patent. But it did not, appear that the subjeE of the Patent had sufficient claims to the merit of an invention, to be protected under the Statute of JAMES upon Mono poly, Sz - c: and therefore the Plaintiffs were nonsuited. CLEVELAND KEPPLE. This AC - lion was brought to recover damages for a false distress. A Miss Mackie had taken a house in Welbeck-street from the Defendant, who is a heuse,broker. This she lett out in lodgings, and one of her lodgers was M rs . Cleveland, the Plain tiff. It so happened, that Miss Mackie was con siderably in arrear to her landlord for rent, and being a good deal importuned by him, she took French leave of his premises. Mrs. Cleve land, alarmed for her property, began to remove it but while there was still a considerable number of things remaining behind, Mr. Kepple sent a servant with his compliments to the lodgers, and desiring them not to be at all uneasy, as their eirefts should all be safe. Next day, however, he Caine him self and distrained them. Mis.:Cleveland was very anxious to get possession of her papers; and' seeing a seal. in the drawer of her cabinet;' wished to take it with her. Mr. Kepple ordered lier to lay it down ; she persisted in seizing it ; he tried to wrest it from her hand ; she succeeded inputting it into her pocket, a n d t h en f e ll into fits. He then went away, and she sent for the Earl of Kinnoul, who provided her with other lodgings. The witness who principally spoke to these farts, was Miss ,Douglas, .a niece of Sir John Douglas. This Lady submitted with great reluetance to the interrogations of Lord KE NY ON And the Gentlemen at the Bar. Lord KENYON, upon consulting the Aa of Par liament, was of opinion, that the Defendant's 'condu was probably sanaioned by Law, and upon his re commendation a juror was withdrawn. Mr. .GARROW opened a Case of a Schoolmaster who, walking towards Greenwich, and from the road being out of repair, had fallen and bruised himself so severely that he was long obliged to keep his bed. The Aetion was brought against the Tenant of the adjoining land, but it did not appear that the De fendant was obliged to keep the road in repair, and the Plaintiff was nonsuited.

Thomas Thomas and Mary his wife, for having feloniously forged and counterfeited a certain Five Pound Bank Note, with intent to defraud the Go vernor and' Company of the Bank of England, and for feloniously uttering the same knowing it to have be;:n forged, with intent to defraud Robert Giascot. The colsideration of this Case, on account of the number and nature of some of the Witnesses, as_ well as the great length to which thei r e xam i nat i ons ran, occupied the attention of the .Court a consider able time. ,The details of the evide nc e i nc l u d e d a variety of matter, more or less conneled with the general charge against the Priso n er, t h at o f utter ing a number of counterfeit Bank . Notes, but the particular Case on which the Prisoner was tried, was briefly to the following effeet. It appeared thaton . the ii th of May last, the Prisoner Mary Thomas, and one of the Witnesses, a young woman of the name of Egginton, came to the shop of Robert Glascot, a Grocer, at Hampton ; that they agreed for such a quantity of tea and sugar as came to u9s, for which Mary Thomas. tendered a Five Pound Note.

The -proceedings at Hamptonwere also fully stated by Mary Non Egginton, as well as in stances of passing off notes in other places.
