SAILING MATCH.

THE Annual Silver Cup and Cover, given by
the Proprietors of Vauxhall Gardens,-was yesterday
sailed for by the following .Pleaiure-boats, viz.

Each boat WAS distinguished by a white flag, with
red spots.
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 of 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. The
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§.

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

" The 22d of 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 SYDNEY 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.

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,"

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 wars 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 Mrs. 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, and then fell 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.

OLD BAILEY. •

THIRD DAY--FILI DAY, JULY 3.

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 their examinations
ran, occupied the attention of the
.Court a consider-
able time. ,The details of the evidence included a
variety of matter, more or less conneled with the
general charge against the Prisoner, that of 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. Mr. Glascot at first hesi-
tated, having a casual sispicion of its not being
good. however, the Prisoner confidently as-
surin.g him it was, the change in, four one.pOund
notes was procured at tiles King'S Arms' a neigh-
booting 'public..house; and shortly after,, the Pri-
soner, Mary Thomas, arid the Witness, Eggintoni
were seen to go into a chaise-cart; which
.was
drove by the Prisoner, Thornaa Thomas' Who for

the NOte- -Was shortly discoVered to• be a
forged one; and the ditTercni -parties concerned in
this part of the case;. Mr. an 4 Mrs'. Qlascot, Mur-
rdy.; their,Repliel.V; a W.. who served id the.iihoi-;
and the mistress of the, King's Arins public.-house,
all confirmed the identity ,of rite Pritoner; Mar-
Thomas; and the Witness, Mary Ann Rgginton ;
and it was also pro•vcd that these women 'Yot into
the chaiSe-cati; which was driVen by the Prisoner
Mary Thonias: • •

. By another chain of Evidenee which was brought
forward to establish the guilt of those Prisoners,
the principal Witnesses, in whiCh were Mary Ann
Egginton, abovementioned,' and one Ledgerwood;
a journeyman to a Mrs: Redford, a buLher; both
of whom were to be regarded to 'a certain degree in
the light of accomplices, it appeared that. the Prix:
sorer was extensively in the habit of uttering forged
notes ; he was supplied with a considerable number
of counterfeit Bank Notes, gne Pounds and Five
Pounds, froM a certain quarter at Birmingham,
through the mediurii of Mary Ann Egginion; and
several of these he had passed off at different times;
theme the means of LedgetWoad;vho is now in co s-
tody, 'on a charge of uttering, and frOm whom the
Prisoner received money at 'different times, at the
rate of ten or eleven shillings each for the Notes;
Sic. The -proceedings at Hamptonwere also fully
stated by Mary Non Egginton, as well as in-
stances of passing off notes in other places. The
Prisoner, Thonias; it appeared; had been three
times .at on the business of tounl
terfeit Notes:, SOme of those which he got from
Mrs. Egginton, were filled; Others' blank, and., its
was proved, that he had forwarded- a One Pound`
,Bank Note in a letter to. Ledgewood from Bir
mingham, for which he afterwards received tbs..
A variety of other. -Circumstances, Strongly cor-
roborative oftheguilf of the Prisoner Thomas; also
.anpeared its, 6ridenee-. The parties were at length
taken at Gravesend, after being pUriued through
different parts of
.the County Of Surrey for. a fort;

No defence was.offered by the Prisoners, rior-did
any Witnesses appear ire their behalf.
Mr: justiee LAWRINdE; who tried the case,
summed up the evidence ,with great ability, and
pointed of the genuine merits Of therevidente.—He
described the Law,as applying to a wife in such cases,
to the eft-ea that where the woman Could be under:.
mond as having i!led_ under the influence or coer.
cion of the husband; it did not hold her personally
responsible'.

while he and his master w:.s.te settling the accciunts,
the latter perceived that a Gentleman named Ryan,
who was always very punaual, did not pay his bill,
which amounted to 169. tod: On the following day
'the Prisoner took out bread, and.did not return till
two o'clock the next morning, ,at which time he
was intoxicated, and then' neglecting the work he
