The horses kept well together till about a distance from home,
when Blue Bonnet and Mr. Sowerby's looked so well that it was
difficult to say which was tel Wino" Immediately after, how-
ever, the winner, who had laid well up, came out, and gaining
ground in every stride, carried off the stakes in clever style, win-
ning by three-quarters of a length ; rode by Robinson, Bine Bon-
net by J. Day, Credulity by Boyce, Surprise by Conolly, Mr.

Some other lots were put up, but bad no bidders.
The attendance at the rooms to-night was even thinner than on
either of the other nights, the private dinner panics having again
attracted nearly all the members of the Club; Lord Sefton's and
Lord Kietcr's were upon an unusually extensive scale.
The races conclude to-morrow with four or five races, two of
which are likely to be heavy betting ones--Cadiand and Lamp-
lighter having numerous parties for the King's Plate, and Varna
and Pauline being backed against each other, at even, to consider-
able amounts.
Mr. Payne's stud will be sold in the Houghton Meeting; there
will be 27 lots, several of which are deeply engaged.

ROWING MATCH FOR .e2O.
Yesterday a match took place trOM Putney Bridge- to West-
minster Bridge, against tide, between Messrs. T. Hunt, of Vaux-
hall, and V. Green, of Lambeth, both boat-builders. The interest
the match excited along the whole line of the river was consider-
able, and a number of galleys' and other descriptions of toms pulled
up to Putney, and accompanied the mated down.. At three o'clock
they stated, when Green took the lead, but his antagonist, after
shouting across the water, came alongside at Battersea Church,
and, at the conclusion of some fouling, went a-head. At the
bridge at Battersea, Green's right hand became disabled, and he
gave up the contest.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Oct. 1.

Before the Chief Commissioner RavuoLos.
Catherine Eleanor Cary, a young woman, appeared on
her petition to be discharged. She was opposed by Mr. Nienotts,
on behalf of several creditors, among whom was Mr. Goss, the
proprietor of the Steyne Hotel, Brighton.
The insolvent examined by Mr. Nicholls—l was discharged by
this Court in INS. I have not been before the. Court since that
time. In 1819 I was again
ed, when my petition was dis-
missed. I arranged the settlement of my debts on that occasion
with my creditors. In 1821 I went to prison again, and also in
1823 and 1824. I have been harrassed by continued arrests, and
have spent between 3001. and 4001. in law expenses, but none of
my attorneys have brought it to a conclusion.
Mr.Nicholls—Did not you reside io the New Kent-road in 1021 ?
Insolvent—Not in 1821, but in 1826.
Mr. Nicholls here submitted to the Court, that this address not
appearing in the petition, the description of the insolvent was in-
complete, as required by the Act of Parliament. He had also
several other instances of the same kind. He was instructed to
show that the insolvent had resided at the Steyne Hotel, Brighton,
and contracted debts there ; also at No. 34, Surrey-street, Strand ;
but the Only addresses in the schedule were No. 2, Scotland-yard,
No. 23, Oxenden-street, and No. 3, Pall-mall East.
The CHIEF CONAIIISSIONICA inquired if the insolvent's Attorney
was in Court?
A Clerk replied. No.
Mr. Commissioner Rzesnena—This is the third time I have re-
ceived a similar answer. Let him be immediately sent fur.
Some time elapsed, and no attorney had arrived.
The Came Commusionss, addressing the insolvent, said, I fear
you have enttusted your case to a person who is too negligent or
indolent to attend. The Court is not now inquiring into anything
in your schedule personal to you, but the Act of Parliament re-
quires, first that the place of residence of an insolvent at the time
of the arrest should be distinctly stated, as well as every
residence where any debt named in the schedule was contracted.
This your attorney should have done. Your. schedule, I ob-
serve, commences in 1814, and exceeds over a period of fifteen
years. It is impossible, in consequence of the above defects, that
the Court can adjudicate your case to-day, and I muse remand
you, until you file a new petition, amend your schedule, and give
tea days' notice to your creditors of your next appearance before
the Court ; but, continued the Learned Commis ioners if I firs*
that this remand bah been prodoced by the neiligence of your at-
torney, the Court.will have no hesitation in drdrtiot !Xi to pa/ all
the expeseesinemeini laennsequence of it.
