TA UICHALL GARDENS.
Tbid delightful place of public amusement was last night
crowded to excess. Long before the commencement of the
evettlog'sam userrien t, numerous groupsof fashionable visiters
were seen in all directions, with minds unbent, and features
thatheapoire the absence of all care, seemingly desirous only
of rinsing a few hours in uninterrupted enjoyment. The
gala-night—se it is denominated to distinguish it gar creel-
lence from the• many other gala-nights of the season_
which commemorates the birth-day of our gracious Sore-
reign. has been always, from choice as well as duty, the
occasion on which every effort of tht Proprietors of these Gardens Ins been called' forth, and is therefore int•ariahly
the most agreeable orthe period, which the wind and the
rain of winter only limits. Last evening all was done that
could be done to render tbe scale attractive, anti to pay
homage to the patron of the whole. The loyal and national
Anthem," God save the King," and the Carmen Triura= composed for the occasion, were sung with consi-
derable (lie by an increased orcheitra ; the various insig-
nia of Royalty, in variegate! lamps, were scattered over
the gardens, and the words, The king, oar Patron",,
natal day," forming the half of a very good couplet, were
displayed to very great advantage, in letters, as it were, of
liquid fire, surrounded by a brilliant wreath of laurel, and
surmounted by the
.crown and star. Many of ..the trees
were beautifully illuminated, and the addition of several
thousand lamps gave to the scene a more than usual degree of splendour. In the Rotunda the arms of the Royal I)4t-ei
and the principal Nobility of the kingdom were exhibited
on painted banners. The entertainments- were very nu-
merous, and conducted with great spirit. Mr. Wilson
performed upon • the tight rope, and danced with much
grace mad agility, We should imagine there were not less
than MOM persons in the gardens : among the other per
sons of rank we noticed the Marquis of Hertford, the F
of Westmorland, the Earl of Chesterfield, the Er
Charlsmnpt, the Lords Montfort and Colville,
Ludolf, &e.

YURI RACE'S—Al7Ctrsr MEETIXG.
(BY EXPRESS.)
The betting at the new Betting Room, In the York
Toren), has beets very extensive since our last, on the St.
Leger. and, as we pirdicted, has thrown Altisidora back,
the odds having irnmediately reached 33 to 1. The St.
L'lrft betting becomes every hour of greater importance,
the horses continually chabging places, some of them with
little appearance of reason; Cleveland, in particular, is
continually altering, and those who affect to he wise on it,
attribute it to his being a roarer, a report which we will
not vouch for; is a very fine colt, but many say that he
is too large. A. south country horse of Mr. Wyndham's,
brother to Mays, who it will be recollected was beaten by
Enamel, at Newmarket, has got up surprisingly lately, and
is much bucks?, as well in the north as the south ; and
from the favour in which he is held by the Yorkshire
people, great things are augured of him. Barataria's
wianing the T. Y. 0. on Tuesday, brought Trinculo for-
ward; but we do not think he will remain long a great fa•
voarite. Eacape's victory yesterday was a surprise to the
sporting world, for as yet he has been known as a general
loser; it will be seen below that be has been beat to-day.
which leaves his chance very poor for the St. Leger, and
will. very probably, prevent Altisidora running for that'
;takes. The following is the betting this morning:_

CIVIL SIDE.
Before Mr. Justice Pante.
~ 'nets r. GREEN AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought by the plaintiffas principal againiti
the defendants es his ship agents, to recover a sum of ',NA', ere.
ceived by them •on his ntcount.
Mr. Ctartiex stated the case to the jure.
The plaintiff' was an extensive merchant, alt preterit recidinx
abroad, and owner of the ship Sally. The defendants were also '
Merchants, living in London, anti acted as ship agents to the plain '
tiff. Previous to the ship Sally tearing this country. the defend-,
eats, no such agents; effected a policy of insurance on het. Where
the ship arrived in the Rio de la Plata, which was in Os,
direct course of her voyage, a storm arcer, and She. and het
cargo were lost. The defendants had teemed from the under.:
writers of the stun of 1,7001. in virtue of the policy; but, although;
repeated applications had been made to them by the plaintiff to have
the money paid over to him, they at frequently refund m pay it,
alleging, that he was ndt entitled to receive the Money. al hte in:.
tercet in the ship was not of such a nature as to give him a keret
claim to it. They also intended to show that there Were other
persons whose right was paramout to that of the plalritilli He
should, however, establish very satiefatecitilje not only the pleititilre
titich but that as the defendants had acted solely as agents for hens
in of cting the policy, they were not justified in witholding the
money received by them under that policy from his diet t, whateirer
might be the interests of other persons in the ship in question.
Those interests he did not intend to inquire into; they were wholly
distinct from the present question—which was, were the delimitate
authorised to retain the money received by them as agents foe the
plaintiror not? The policy had been elected by thrift ih his
name. the money hail been received by them in hie name, and he.
therefore, contended; that the right of the plaintiff to ret
money was eonclusitre and irresistible. ort!' the
Witnesses were then called to prove the polity of ifisurithhe,. be
the name of the plaintiff, anti the receipt of the money by the
defendants under it.
Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN, as Counsel fbr the defendants, did rob
deny having received the money ; nor was it their wish to withhohl
It from the person to whom It legally belonged; but as the bad
strong reasons for believing that there were other peteoni
olio had
a better right to the mone thate the plaintiff's, they very nsterady

true, in the name of the pleietiff; but the ship in revert of whistle
