THE QUEZMAIERaIf giTArd.

The specific legatees and annuitents under die 'till
of the late Duke of Queensberry, having petitioned
the LORD CHANCELLOH. tor the apprupriation of their
several leg.icies and annuities, and that 'the lime
should be set apart in stock, out of the funds staililinw
in the name of the Accountant-GenerA, being up-
wards of X 1,200,000 stock, subject to the future or.'
ders of the Court,• and Sir ARTHUR Prim and 'Mr.'
Rouent. having been heard on a former day; in sup.
port of the petition—
Mr. HART and Mr. TROIA/TR, on behalf of the
residuary legatees, opposed the application, on the
ground of the Petition being calculated to deprive
their clients of the great advantage u hich would even-
tually result to them from the vast accumul won of
interest, and to which they contended the practice of
the Court entitled them, whatever the hardship of the
case might be on the Petitioners; and Mr. FON-
BLANQUE also urged that the Petition was ent.Tely
novel, and a departure from the principles which ...id
hitherto governed the Court ; and although t'iis wa;
a particular case, in which perhaps justice demanded
the relief prayed by the Petitioners, yet, the Court
would be very reluctant to create a precedent which
might extend itself to other cases and its Consequences
be most prejudicial. In tact, the Scotch cietlit. rs
might apply for similar relief.

two four-oared cutters of well-acquired c.:l-thrity,
plied, fora tvager ot twenty guineas. Imp West-
monster-Bridge to Kew. The crews are young men
who row for amusement. They started at nine
o'clock from the centre arch of Westmingter:thidge
in excellent style against tide. The Fox being nrAreb!
the Westminster side,* pulled in-shore first, and by
that means got a-head of the Cleopatra, and on
waterman-like manner maintained their ativantal.o:
all the way to Kew-Bridge, and consetrieraly %you
the wager.
At six o'clock in the evening there was another
contest between four watermen belonging to the
Surrey stairs of Westminster-Bridge. T. ;:e match
was far a guppyr and grog. They pulled in excellent
order from Westminster-Bridge to Vauxhall awl
bark, and the wager was won by a very short d-stamer.
