CRICKET. - - WEST SURREY V. COBHAM, WITH WORDS.—Tbis match was distinguished by some very fine play on the part of each side. It came off at Cobham on Thursday, and was won by the West Surrey, by 45 runs upon the first hands. SOUTH HANTS V. WINCHESTER.—This match, which was a " day's play," was played on Day's ground, South ampton, on Wednesday last, and was won by the South Hants club. The wetness of the weather, however, voided the game. lircß7 SCHOOL 7. WELLESBOURNE CLUB.—The match between these parties was played on the Rugby ground on Thursday last, when the school eleven won in one innings, with 46 runs to spare ; a result which is mainly attributable to the fine slow bowling of Mr. Rippingall. WORCESTERSHIRE v. SmtoesnreE.—These two coun ties played their " return match" on the Shrewsbury ground, on Wednesday and Thursday last. The " Sa lopians" won by 61 runs, and having been the victors in the first match, have thus placed themselves in the triumphant position of conquerors of the year. To en able them, however, to maintain this rank, let us advi,e them to be early and actively in the field next season. for we have heard that their opponents will not only be so, but are likely to gain an accession of strength. THE NORTHAMPTON, WIND-UP MATCH.—There are few counties or towns in the United Kingdom, wherein the disposition to support the game of cricket has been manifested, during the present season, so strongly and so effectively as in that of Northampton. It affords us, therefore, more than ordinary gratification to find that the occasion of their " wind-up" match for 1844 was to well attended, and that the dinner went off so admirably. The latter was not only partaken of by the players, with the Hon. Captain Spencer (the brother of Earl Spencer), as ttie president of the club, at their head,, but the event was honoured by the presence of the Mayor, and upwards of fifty of the leading gentry of the neighbourhood. The spirited manner, indeed, in which the Northampton Club got up the grand match between the " northern and southern counties," demands the admiration of all cricketers, and the thanks of the inhabitants of the sur rounding districts. Such fineness of play, and such a display and illustration of the science of the game, had never been seen in that part of the kingdom. It rejoices us, therefore, to learn that that match has had the effect of gising an impulse to this English pastime throughout this portion of her Majesty's dominions. To the ext r tions of the Hon. Captain Spencer, 0. Nethercote, Esq., backed by the very able and efficient efforts and arrange ments for the management of the club, made by Messrs. Ileitis and Ellis, of Northampton, is attributable the great success and prosperity of the game in the county of Northampton. The " wind-up" match was a contest between the " married and single," the latter winning, with six wickets to go down. FIRE NEAR RED LION -SQUARE.—Sunday morn ing a fire was discovered by police constable E 126 upon the premises belonging to Mr. F. Taylor, wholesale candle manufacturer, carrying on business at No. 3, Orange -street, Red Lion-square. When first seen the flames were raging furiously in one of the storehouses on the basement floor. The intelligence was promptly for warded to the engine stations, and shortly after five engines of the London Brigade were at the scene, as well as the West of England one. An instant supply of water pees procured, and the firemen set to work most -vigorously, and soon extinguished the flames ; not, how ' seer, until considerable damage was done, the greater part of the stock in that part of the building where the fire originated being destroyed, and the remainder seriously injured. The origin of the fire is not known. One fortunate circuii'atance was the early discovery of the fire.; had it been a little later, to say the least, a most perfect and destructive conflagration must have been the result. Mr. Taylor is insured in the Union and Hand-in Hand offices. The same premises were consumed by fire about four years since. DEATH ' OF Mn. ROSS, THE COMEDIAN.—It is with sincere regret we announce the death of this little favourite. A little before the Christmas of last year he was megaged by illr. Webster for the Liverpool Theatre. On his journey thither he caught a severe cold, dan gerous symptoms appeared, - and in May he returned to London. At his own request': be was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, Wee:o his case received every attention. He *expired about twenty minutes to seven on Friday night. .t‘lr. Rees for many years supported his aged father and ntether. He has left a widow to lament his loss, but no children. Mr. Ross was a member of the Drury-lane 'Theatrical Fund, from which source we trust his widow mey obtain, if not a competence, at least assistance, in this I:er hour of trouble and deprivation. ALLOWANCE TO INSOLVENTS UNDER THE NEW Acr.—On Seturday, in the Court of Bankruptcy, Mr. Sturgeon applied, in the case of an insolvent named he ppard, for an allowance out of his estate, to obtain his final order. The insolvent was a prisoner in Bury Sr. Edmund's gaol, and now appeared on his interim order, to which no opposition had been made, and the final order was appointed. Mr. Sturgeon said there was • :24/. in Court. and he asked for a small sum for the ex • wises to be incurred, and for the support of the insol vent'e family. The Court found that on a final order an allowaece could be made, and the official assignee might consider whether the fees could be advanced to the man. At present he made no order. ANTI-COILS-LAW TRACTS.—Mr. William Grice, of Uiverstone, has been employed for several days past in distributing extensively- in Illverstone, and the surround ing neighbourhood, a variety of tracts and papers i.eib lished by the _League ; and while so engaged at Dalton, was accosted by an individual well known for his mono polist opinions, who asked what he had got, to which Grice repheel. " Anti-Corn-law tracts;" and said " will you have one?" " Yes," was the reply ; and imme diately on receiving it the person abode-mentioned tore it in pieces, saying Grice ought to be beaten out of the town with a stick. Grice civilly said he thought no one woelei venture to do that, and then coolly turned his back on this specimen of vulgarity and impertinence. This incident shows in some degree the limited amount of intelligenee possessed by many of the pro-corn-Jaw men in this district. A repetition of such-like occurrences will . tend, how ever , more to arouse attention ; and aespxte every effort to suppress facts, they will show themselves with a bold front, and each and all exist ing -' protection " fallacies must and will ere long ex plole.—Lancaster Guardian. Bishop Philipotts, at the Christian Knowledge So ciety,.the other day, reported that he bath a brother who, although an officer of Artillery at Ceylon, is yet such a tremend•Ais Christian, that he loves him more for that than his consanguinity. Asa proofof his Christian feeling, he wrote to inform his bishop-brother that there were a entitle of bishoi s wanted for that island alone.— Western TirUes. The Epiac opal Free Church will be opened in this elty on Thursday next, by the Rev. H. B. Bolteel, formerly Fellow and Tutor of Exeter College, Oxford. The intent excites much interest. Mr. Bulteel is reported to• be an admirable and eloquent preacher.— Western Times. FIRST IMPORTATION OF WEST INDIAN SUGAR.—A large and line West Indianian, the Codrington, belong ing to the grin of Lioeins and Co., arrived from the West Indies, and entered the Southampton docks on Monday morning, to discharge her cargo ofsugar. This is the first nrrivel in our docks of a West Indiaman homeward, and we hail it as the commencement of a new and extensive branch of trade at our port. Its superio rity as a port of departure for emigrants has already been fully acknowledged, and acted upon, by that pubhe spirited gentleman, Mr. John Marshall ; and we have zo doubt that many London houses will soon follow the example now Tot by Mr. Liggins.

DRATII FROM FIGHTING —On Sunday morning, a • littie bjore eight o'clock, a man named George Benson, a labour.-r, 22 years of age, was killed in a fight which took . place by appointment, between him and a man marned Henry Jones, aged 21, also a labourer, at a place much used for similar encounters on a Sunday morning, situate on the east side of the Kensington -canal. The spot is a hollow screened from observation of the neighbour inis houses by banks of earth. Jones stated, on being Isken into mist sly by the police, that on the previous night he and deceased, with others, were at the Welles iey ArmS pubic-house, Robert-street, Chelsea, when a dispute arose concerning some work upon which they were all engaged, in the course of which he and de ceased can to blocs. After having two or three rounds they were parted ; and they then agreed to meet in the morning near the Canal-basin, to decide which was the better man. They met accordingly, and fought for about a quarter of an hour, during which three or four Itnock•deven flows were given. It was stated that a e:an named Hele was second to Jones, and a brother of the deceased seconded him, and that in the last round Jones struck deceased a violent blow under the left ear, when deceased fell to the ground partly on his head. Ile was immediately lifted up, and placed on his second's knee, when he ; said, " I shall have no more of it ; I am done for," and initantly fell down dead. Jones and his aecond, and the deceased's second, with two other per sons who ware present aiding and abetting at the fight, aye itt, easiody of the police. Jones is represented to tare been by two stones heavier than the deceased. In the course of yesterday hundreds of persons visited the hollow in which the fight took place.

THE MOUTON MURDER.—OH Friday last, the in quiry into the death of Thomas Robson, the unfortunate pitman who was shot dead b.r some person unknown, on the Wthmlr., was resumed before Mr. J. M. Fayell, the coroner, at the Red Robin Inn, Wrekenton. Some wit nesses we-e examined, but their testimony did not tend to implicate any individual parties in the dark transac tion.

THOMAS FROGGATT. —Railway Chronicle. CURIOUS FACTS REGARDING FILTRATION. (From the Chester Chronicle.) We believe that to our noble neighbour, the Mar quis of Westminster, is indirectly owing the existence of the system of filtering large bodies of water, which our neighbours, the manufacturers of Lancashire, are adopting. The Noble Marquis gave notice, about four years ago, that he should revive the Committee for inquiring into the supply of water for London. This notice was seen in St. Petershurgh by a young engineer, born in Tartary, of English parents, who having been deeply injured b y t h e corrupt and arbi trary conduct of the Russian Government, panted to get away to the land of his ancestors. His father and brother had built the greater part of the Russian navy, and the latter had been ennobled by the Em-. peror Alexander for his great services. A new reign, that of the present Emperor, produced men " who knew not Joseph" or his family. The author of the modern system of filtration, the late W. H. Stuckey, civil engineer, invented it in Russia, and offered a plan for providing St. Petersburgh with pure water. The Governor, Count Essen, highly ap proved of this plan and granted his permission. A large building was erected and pipes laid down. A contract was entered into which it was thought by a relation of one of the Ministers would be very profit able. As everything goes by favour or bribery in Russia, there was little difficulty in obtaining an order to supersede the original contractor; poor Stuckey was commanded to take down the building which he had erected. Stuckey refused until a reason could be assigned—" you have no right to ask imper tinent questions but to obey" was the reply, and the order was repeated with threats—he still refused; 200 men of the Fire Brigade were then directed to take the building down , by force i n th e d ea d o f th e night. The next morning not a stone was standing. The foundation of the disease of which Stuckey died was the result. He recovered—came to England— offered his invention to Parliament—exhibited his filter at work—Lord Brougham saw it in opera tion, and spoke of it twice in the House of Peers, strongly counselling the Government to adopt it for the benefit of the nation at large. Lord Radnor did the same, and preented Stuckey's petition to the Lords. Sir F. Trench and Mr. Mackin non presented similar petitions to the House of Commons. All was of no avail. The invention was merely for the public good, and did not con tribute to any party object, for which cause it was clearly unreasonable to expect that public money should be expended upon it. Poor Stuckey, after dancing attendance for a whole session, found the only result to be, attempts to discover his secret. Con trary to his intention, he was obliged to take out a patent. Fortified with a letter of recommendation from Lord Brougham to the celebrated Arago, he also obtained a patent i n Fi a n ce , an d anot h er in flolland. All these were matters of difficulty, but they were ac complished. This year the Emperor of Russia ar rived, and the Marquis of Northampton, as President of the Royal Society, called upon the English nation to treat the Autocrat with kindness on the ground of the encouragement given by the Russian Govern ment to Englishmen of science. Poor Stuckey had petitioned that very Government seventeen times for redress, and could not even get an answer. He was. much excited—his father-in law, Mr. Northhouse, (he having married in Eagland) addressed a large body in London, stating the foregoing circumstances, which appeared in a prpular London newspaper of the ensuing Sunday, on which day the Emperor suddenly and unexp,c tedly left our shores. Intensity of feeling had how ever secured its victim—Stuckey died at the early age of 35, just in time to behold the voluntary appli cation of his system of filtration by several of the leading manufacturers of Lancashire to their works, and also by the engineer of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests in making the fountain in Tra falgar-square, and the Aid-de-Camp of King Louis Phillippe and his partners, to the fountains o f P ar i s.

(In continua tion of Parliamentary Paper, No. 239, Sept. 1841.) This paper shows a very remarkable decrease in an important trade of export within the above period. It appears that the total export of this refined sugar from the United Kingdom to all parts of the world, was (in the year, ending January 31, 1842), 311,727' cwt., exclusive of 1,117 cwt. shipped as stores. Year ending Jan. 5, 1843, 274,708 cwt. (and 8,868 cwt. as stores). Year ending Jan. 5, 1844, 259,879 cwt. (and 10,239 cwt. as stores). Half-year ending July 5, 1844, 112,242 cwt. (and 4,853 cwt. as stores). REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS (IRELAND). We cannot better illustrate the importance of these returns than by giving at length the terms in which they were severally moved for. They are 1. A return of the total number of Parliamentary electors appearing, by the lists or books of the clerks of the peace, registered for each county, city, town, and borough in Ireland, on the Ist day of February in each of the following years, viz., 1835, 1837, and 1844 ; including in the return for 1844 those only who had been registered subsequently to the Ist day of February, 1836 ; distinguishing in separate columns the numbers registered under different qualifications ; and showing the increase or decrease exhibited by the numbers as appearing registered on the Ist day of February, 1844, compared with those appearing re gistered at each of the said previous periods. 2. A return of the electors for counties in Ireland now entitled to vote, with the names of the baronies from which each elector registers. Similar return of the electors registered after the passing of the Irish Reform Act. 3. Returns of the number of registered electors in the counties, cities, and boroughs of Ireland, from the Ist day of February, 1843, to the Ist day of February, 1844 ; also, of the total number of registered electors for each county, city, and borough of Ireland, on the Ist day of February, 1844. It will be seen that the return to the order, on Sir Robert Ferguson's motion, combines the most im portant particulars-nam e ly, those connected with the relative increase or decrease of registered voters at given periods. Thus, the general abstract of th e total number of Parliamentary electors in Ireland re_ gistered at each of the abovementioned periods shows the increase and decrease thereof, Feb.l, 1844' compared with each of the previous periods. We give the totals, for counties, cities, and counties of towns, and boroughs (the aggregate returns for each being separately stated in the Parliamentary Paper itself) :- Registered to Feb. 1, 1835 96,051 Registered from Feb. 1, 1836, to Feb. 1, 1844, inclusive Increase, Feb. 1, 1844, compared with Feb. 1, 1835 Decrease, Feb. 1, 1844, compared with Feb. 1, 1835 Registered to Feb. 1, 1837 Registered from Feb. 1, 1836, to Feb. 1, 1844, inclusive Increase, Feb. 1, 1F44, compared with Feb. 1, 1837 Decrease, Feb. 1, 1844, compared with Feb. 1, 1837 From various tables of the " Number and Qualifi cation of Parliamentary Electors registered on Feb. 1, 1835, and Feb. 1, 1837, for each county in Ireland," it results that the totals for all counties were as follows, viz.:- 1835-Of 50/. freeholders, 10,992 ; of 201. free holders, 6,968 ; of 20/. leaseholders, 1,035 ; of 101. freeholders, 39,963 ; of 101. leaseholders, 4,507 ; of rent-chargers, 724-grand total, 64,189. 1837-Of 50/. freeholders, 13,198 ; of 20/. free holders, 7,961; of 201. leaseholders, 1,386 ; of 101. freeholders, 45,320 ; of 10/. leaseholders, 5,613 ; of rent-chargers, 1,003-grand total, 74,481. From Feb. 1, 1836, to Feb. 1, 1844, there were registered for all counties of Ireland, of 50/. free holders, 11,728; of 20/. freeholders, 4,886; of 201. leaseholders, 1,435 ; of 10/. f ree h o ld ers , 34,187 ; o f 10/. leaseholders, 4,612 ; of rent-chargers, 1,133-- grand total, 57,981. The results of the next table are curious. It is entitled, " An Abstract of the total number and quali fication of Parliamentary Electors appearing re gistered for the several counties in Ireland, on the Ist February in each of the following years, viz., 1835, 1837, and 1844; including in 1844 those only who had been registered subsequently to Ist February, 1836 ; and showing the increase and decrease ex hibited by the numbers as appearing registered on the Ist February, 1844, compared with those appearing registered at each cf the said previous periods." The general sum of the figures here given (under heads similar to the preceding ones) indicates that th,-re was an increase on Feb. 1, 1844, as compared with Feb. 1, 1837, of only 179 registered votes (i. e , 49 leaseholders of 20/., and 130 rent-chargers), whereas the total decrease on the Ist February, 1844, as compared with the Ist February, 1837, was no less than 16,679, i. e., .1,470 50/. freeholders, 3,075 20/. freeholders, 11,133 101. freeholders, 1,100 10/. lease- I holders. The grand total of registered electors for cities and counties of towns in Irelacd, of all qualifications, stood on Ist February, 1837, ct 26,693 ; on Ist Fe bruary, 1835, it had been 20,286. Between Feb. 1, 1837, and Feb. 1, 1844, there was an cocrease of 101. householders, 1,839; of rent-chargers, 2 ; ,Nf freemen, 1,632. In same interval the increase was, of .") .. .2 1 - free holders, 25; of 20/. freeholders, 450; of 20/. loose holders, 29 ; of 10/. freeholders, 130 ; of 10/. holders, 370: of 40s. freeholders, 1,025. Registered electors for boroughs in Ireland, of all qualifications, on Feb. 1, 1835, were 11,576 ; on Feb. 1, 1837, 15,355. Grand total registered between Feb. 1, 1836, and Feb. 1, 1844, inclusive, 15,078. Total decrease of electors registered between Feb. 1, 1837, and Feb. 1, 1844, 277. By another table it is shown that the total number of electors now entitled td vote for all the counties of Ireland is 57,169 ; and that there have been registered since passing of the Reform Act, 65,437. A like table as to cities and boroughs, shows tha. from Feb. 1, 1843, to Feb. 1,, 1844, the number of electors registered was 2,660. Total number of electors registered on Feb. 1, 1844, 50,312. Grand total of registered electors for counties, cities, and boroughs of Ireland, on Feb. 1, 1844, 117,448. AN EXPEDITION TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. The St. Louis Missourian contains the following particulars of Lieutenant Fremont's expedition, which has just returned to that city from the far west : " The party, it will be remembered, left this city on the 23d of May, 1843 —very nearly fifteen months ago—and the latter part of that month they had passed the western boundary of Missouri, and launched out into the Prairies. Leaving the frontier in the be ginning of June, and travelling along the line of the Kansas River, the party reached the Rocky Moun tains early in July, and occupied that month in ex ploring the heads of the Arkansas. At the close of the month they crossed the mountains, and continuing their way to the westward, had reached the Great Salt Lake in . the beginning of September. No human being had ever before visited the island of the cele . braced lake ; and a few weeks were spent in exploring its unknown waters, and in surveying the adjacent country. The latter part of this month found them at Fort Hall, where the winter set in early with a ie vere storm on the 19th. Pursuing their way on the Oregon road, they reached the Falls of the Columbia early in the month of November. Leaving his party here, Mr. Fremont proceeded by water to Fort Van couvre, at which place he arrived at the commence ment of the rainy season. On the 25th of November, in a snow-storm, they left the 'Falls' on their home ward route, intending to return by way of the Klamet and Mary's Lake. No interruption in the form of difficulties occurred to impede their march until they bad passed the Klamet Lake, in the middle of De cember, when their course to the southward and eastward was barred by parallel ranges of snow and volcanic mountains, in the valleys of which they were forced constantly to the southward, making little or no easting. They travelled this way along the eastern base of the great California Mountains, whose peaks rise 17,000 feet above the sea, encountering many bands of Indians of a very wild character, and some of whom had never before seen a white man. Towards the end of January, their animals' feet had become so much worn by the ice and rocks, that they were scarcely able to travel; and provision had begun to fail, as the country had been found destitute of game —the Indians subsisting on fish, or roots and seeds. They were now between the 38th and the 39th de gree of parallel, immediately under the snowy range of California. Mr. Freinont determined to attempt to cross this, and to force a way to the settlement on the Bay of San Francisco. The mountain is here 150 miles broad, and on its upper regions the snow was from sto 20 feet deep. They were occupied nearly a month in crossing it, but finally succeeded, and early in March exchanged the snow of mid-winter for the verdure of perpetual spring, in the valley of the river Sacramenta. The party were cordially rece:ved and hospitably entertained at his residence near the Bay :If San Francisco, by Mr. J. A. Sutter, Prefect of the frontier of California. Here they remained some time to recruit, and at the end of March resumed their homeward journey. They proceeded several degrees to the southward to recross the mountains, and passing over the California deserts by the Spa nish Trace, reached Bent's Fort, by way of the head waters of the Arkansas, on the Ist day of July, and the frontier of Missouri on the last of the same month?, 5,145 The Revision Courts for the county have, so far as they have gone, decided in favour of the free traders. In one quarter the decision has been that an objection to a voter, whose qualification requires correction by the bar rister, is ni,t frivolous and vexatious, and that costs, therefore, cannot be demanded. In another quarter it has been decided that costs should be given in such cases, and an appeal has been entered against the decision. We look quietly to the result of the general revision, convinced, by what has taken place, that a monopolit t has no chance of success at next election.—Manchester Times. THE SUN, LONDON ) TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1844. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) GUILDHALL. A young woman, named Elizabeth Morris was placid before Sir P. Laurie by o ne o f th e beadles oiSt. Bartho lomew's Hospital, on a charge of having taken a quan tity of laudanum, with a view of putting a period to her own existence. The beadle stated that the prisoner was brought into the hospital on Wednesday night, she having taken poison, and it was with great difficulty that she was recovered by the surgeon, life having been very nearly extinct. From inquiries made, it appeared that she had been seduced by a married man, who had found her a lodging in a brothel. The officers of the hospital endeavoured to persuade her to retire from that house into the Mag dalen Asylum, and she consented to do so ; hut after wards abruptly left the hospital, stating that it was a prison, and she would remain in it no longer. For her own protection, the steward ordered her to be taken into custody. Sir PETER LAURIE said he should send her to the Old Bailey for attempted suicide. It was a fit case for trial, and he had no doubt she would be transported. He had put an end to persons attempting to drown them selves ; he would now try the same cure for attempted poisoning. He had no doubt that those who took poison did not do so for the purpose of self-destruction, but for the purpose of exciting sympathy ; and such morbid charity was more calculated to do injury than anything else. The girl, at the conclusion of the Alderman's remarks, fell back, fainting, and exclaiming " Mercy, oh, mercy." She was carried into the cells. asd Sir PETER LAURIE ordered that she should be taken to the Giltspur-street Compter, and when perfectly recovered, to be brought back, when he would decide what should be done to her. FRAGMENTS OF A CHINESE ELEGY. In the fourth moon, at the season called Mang tchong. the air is pure, the sun shines in all its splen dour. How many ungrateful husbands give them selves up to pleasure, and forget her whom they have lost. The husband and wife are like two birds in one forest. When the fatal time comes they fly off each its own way. This so accomplished beauty, this ten derness without bounds, they have vanished in a morning. Why, alas, two spouses so closely united, why should not they have lived . and grown old .toge ther? I am like a man whom an enchanting dream has cradled in a skeet delusion. When he awakes he seeks the young immortal who charmed his ears and his eyes; and he finds around him void, solitude, silence. On the fifteenth day of the eighth moon, when the disk shines in all her splendour, they offer to the gods melons and cakes, of a form round as the lamp of night. Men and women go two and two, to walk in the country, and enjoy the sweet clearness of the moon. But the round disk would but recal to me the wife whom I have lost. Sometimes, to dissipate my grief, I pour into my cup generous wine; some times I take my guitar, but it scarcely gives out a sound under my languishin g h an d . M y relat i ons and friends come in turn to invite me; but my heart, filled with bitterness, refuses to partake of their plea- sures. In the ninth moon, at the time called Tchong-yang, the chrysanthemums open their cups of gold, and all the gardens give out a fragrant odour. I would wish to cull a nosegay of newly -opened flowers if I had a wife with whose hair to adorn them. My eyes moisten with tears; my hands contract with grief, and strike my fleshless bosom. Igo once more into the shining chamber which my wife inhabited. My two children follow me, and come in sorrow to em brace my knees. They draw me by the hand, and call me in a stifled voice. They ask me of their mo ther, by their tears, their gestures, and their sobs.— From an" Elegy on the Death of a Wife," in Capt. Pidding's Chinese Olio and Tea Talk, No. 21.

The condi tions wiil be, in the main, the same as those agreed to for the former match ; there are, however, one or two points which are at present under consideration, and which may be modified. One of those is a proposition of Mr. Staunton's to play the king's pawn t w o squares by both players, whether for attack or defence, at the commence ment of each party I another point proposed by the gen tleman is to limit the match to thirteen games in place of twenty-one—the winner of the first seven games being the conqueror. The object of this latter change is to lessen the time which the match will cause him to re main in Paris. As there is no doubt from the tenour of the two champions' letters that these matters will be arranged, the match may be looked on as settled. WAR STEAMERS.—During the early part of the week, a naval officer, from the Admiralty, was down here, inspecting the different steamers belonging to the port, in reference to their capacity as war steamers, in the event of hostilities requiring a resort to such means of defence. Ire found sixty-one steamers fully compe tent to carry 148 large guns, several smaller ones, and a competent number of men, He expressed his admira tion of their strength and capacity, and seemed pleased to think that they could, with wonderful facility, be made to give a warm reception to the Prince de Join ville, should he ever approach our shores in a spirit dif ferent from that which now secures his royal father an hospitable reception. The river steam-boats, tug boats, &c., he pronounced capable of being converted into gun boats of a most formidable description. It is gratifying to know of our warlike capacity. but we hope to remain fang strangers to p rac ti ca l knowledge of the fact.— Liverpool Journal ESCAPE FROM SLAVERY.—On Thursday last , ar , rived in Falmouth h ar b our the Lor d B ruce brig, Captain Poole, with a c argo of Sugar, f rom Pernambuco.

John Stokes, a traveller was brought up before Mr. Hall, charged with assaulting Thomas Buckeridge, whereby his life has been placed in danger. Mr. Robinson appeared for the defendant. The prosecutor did not appear. A surgeon's certifi cate was put in which stated that the young man was suffering from a concussion of the brain, and that he was quite unable to leave his bed, • Mr. Wm. Pearce, jeweller, of Durham-street, Strand, stated that on Saturday evening about nine o'clock he was in the parlour of the Salisbury Arms. He heard a scuffle outside the house ; he WCllt, out, and there saw the prisoner seize a young man by the collar of his coat. He dragged him a short distance, and lifted him and then threw him on the ground. It was a tremendous fall. The young man fell with his head on a step, and the prisoner fell upon him. The young man was taken up insensible. Mr. HALL said this was a case which, of course, must be investigated ; and, as the young man could not ap pear, he would remand the prisoner for a week, but he would take bail for . his appearance, himself in 401., and two sureties of 201. each.—The bail was procured. MARLBORO UGH-STILE ET. Louisa Storey, Maria Williams, and Mary Barrel', well-dressed, good-looking young women, were charged with robbing Mr. Robert Frost, of 49, Gloucester -street, Queen-square, of from 255. to 30s. in silver. The prose cutor was returning home from Putney, last night, when on passing along Piccadilly the prisoners stopped and pressed against him, and he immediately discovered that he had been robbed, and gave the prisoners into cos tody. Money to the amount was not found on them. Inspector Aggs, of the C division, said that the pro secutor was so stupidly drunk he did not know what he was about. Mr. MALTBY asked what the prisoners were ? A constable said they were " gay women." The prisoners did not delay the impeachment. Mr. MALTBY said that, under all the circumstances, he should discharge them, but he hoped it would be a caution to them. CLERKEIV WELL, Charles Browne, a stone-mason, was charged nith as saulting and threatening to murder Police-constable Churchyard, 174 G. - - At a quarter before one on Sunday morning the po liceman was on duty in Charlotte-street, Bagnigge-wells road, when the prisoner's wife came to him and said she had been cruelly ill-used by her husband. The pri soner came up and accused him with having carried on an illicit correspondence with his wife. This the con stable indignantly denied, whereupon the prisoner at tacked him, and it required the combined exertions of several constables to remove him to the station-house. The next morning, the prisoner having had time for re flection, when he saw Churchyard passing through the cell-yard swore he would murder him. COMBE decided upon obliging the prisoner to find good bail to keep the peace, and recording the recogni sauces which entails costs. UNION-HALL. Amelia M'Donnel, a respectable-looking woman, was charged on the police sheet with being drubk, having in her possession at the time the large sum of 3801. in 101. notes. A policeman of the M division stated, that while on duty in the Kent-road the preceding night he observed a lady in appearance enter a public-house. He went in soon afterwards ana saw her at the bar and the land lord informed him th a t s h e h a d a considerable sum of money in her bosom, which she exhibited and which was seen by some strargers who happened to be there at the time. The policeman, aware of the risk she ran of being robbed, spoke to her, and as she seemed very much intoxicated, he took her to the station-house, where it was found she had 3801. in Bank of England notes, wrapped up carelessly in her bosom. In the course of the night, her friends being apprised of her situation, attended at the station-house, and the %as bailed out. This morning a gentleman attended, and begged that it would not be considered necessary to compel the - lady's attendance. Mr. COTTINGHAN, 110Weter, said that he could make ' no distinction, and that she was bound to appear to be dealt with the same as any other person in an inferior situation of life. The defendant was accordingly sent for to appear. NEW REAPING MACHINE. The following account of a new machine for cu ng, or rather gathering wheat, which has just been .vented in Australia, is very curious, and the results of the invention may be most important. It is com municated by Governor Grey, of South Australia, to the Royal Society of England, under the date of December 13, 1843. He says : " The colony continues to prosper; and the only event which has created any sensation is the complete success which has attended the operations of a newly-invented reaping machine, invented in this colony. This machine reaps, thrashes, and win nows, all at the same time, and this at the rate of nearly an acre an hour; the machine requiring to be attended by two men, and to be pushed by two horses. The corn is at once taken from the machine (which is stopped for the purpose when it is filled), and put into bags for exportation. The total sum charged for this operation is 10s. per acre ; the sowing, saving of corn, time, and labour, and consequently of expense, is very great. The inventor of the machine antici pates that, next year, the whole of these operations will cost much less than 10s. an acre. I have seen this machine at work, and was quite satisfied as to its success. You will say, ' But we shall soon make such a machine in England, when the principle is known.' It is, however, based upon a peculiarity in this climate, and could, I think, only succeed in a similar very dry climate. I must now give you a description of this invention. It is something like a cart pushed forward lsy two horses, instead of being drawn. In front of the machine is a very large steel comb, which is pushed forward and seizes the straw of the wheat, as an ordinary comb seizes hair. As the machine is moved forward, the straw s are by the motion drawn through the comb, and dragged upwards towards the mouth of the machine. From the peculiar dryness of the climate, the wheat sheds very easily—that is, the corn or grain falls very readily out of the husk ; indeed, so much so, that wheat cannot be reaped here in the usual manner without considerable loss from shedding. As soon,therefore,as the head of the wheatis caught in the comb, the grain is, as it were, combed out, and falls down the comb to the mouth of the machine. That part of the head of the wheat which does not go through (which is too fine to admit it, until the grain has fallen out), is ultimately dragged up to the mouth of the machine, where it is knocked off by an appara tus like that of the ordinary thrashing machine, and the wheat is then thrashed in the same manner as in other thrashing machin ' s; whilst the rapid advance of the machine creates a strong draft, by aid of which the corn is winnowed. The straw is left standing. So much of it as is required for manure, &c., is mown, and the remainder is burnt." PUBLIC WALKS- AND PARKS.—A subscription has come of 2001. from the Phoenix Fire-office, of London, which, we understand, w as qu i te unsolicited. The do nation was accompanied with the following letter, the terms of which much enhance the value of the gift; and, as nearly every fire-office in the kingdom is under equal obligations, we hope the example will not be lost on them :—" The benevolent measure entertained by the leading merch an t s an d manufacturers of your town. for the promotion of the health and comfort of its indus trious population, by the establishment of public walks ard gardens, has to day come under the notice of our Board ; and the Beard feeling that, during its long and extensive connexion with the trade of Manchester, the Phoenix Company his had frequent experience of the good disposition of the labounng classes, when their personal services have been required, in cases of fire, are desirous to avail themselves of the opportunity which the measure alluded to presents, of adding their assistance towards the success of a measure so well calculated to effect the ()Wet contemplated. I am, therefore, in structed to request that the name of the 1 - 1,n4 Com pany may be added to the list of contributors for the sum of 2001 ." —Manchester Guardian, PRESTON.-ELECTION TRICK.— Immediately after the a4Thayncement of a vacancy in the representation of North' Laicashirß, cp agent of the Conservative party purchased from the CleiltS of Coe jipa .c e every dispo sa bl e copy of the regist e r f or thi s division, which, in ease of a would hav e ver y muc h inconvenienced oppo nent, leaving him almost without the means of knowing who were the " free and independent electors" to whom he had to pay his respects.

MARKET NEWS._ (YESTERDAY CORN-EXCHANGE. , The returns for the past week show a very large ar. rival of English Wheat, or of upwards of 11,000 quarters, whilst that of most other kinds of Grain of home pro duce was on the increase, particularly Barley. Of Foreign Corn the imports were less than for some time past. Fresh up the receipts of Wheat, coastwise as well as by land-carriage and sample, were very limited, yet the show of samples were good, though chiefly com posed of those left over from last week. Owing to the -large attendance of millers, most of whom appeared to be short of stock, the demand for the finest qualities of both red and white English Wheat was active, and in some few instances, a trifle more money was obtained. In all other kinds, a fair amount of business was doing at full prices. By accounts received from the north of England, we learn that nearly the whole of the crops have been secured. The supply of fine foreign Wheat was by no means exten sive. For the best qualities the sale was steady at full currencies, but in other kinds very little was doing. Corn, under lock, was a dull sale, and almost nominal in value. The arrivals of Barley both English and Foreign having been good, that article was in a very sluggish state, and we have to report a decline in its value of is per quarter. Duty has been paid on about 4,000 quarters in the course of the week. Of Malt the show was tolerably good. The trade was, however, extremely inactive, and the currencies gave way is per quarter, and a large portion of the , supply was left over for Wed nesday. The total supplies of Oats, arising principally from an increase in those from Ireland, were good. Fine qualities were steady, other kinds dull at previous quota tions. Thesupply of beans was seasonably good, yet the de mand was steady, at last week's prices. In Peas only a limited business was doing, yet previous rates were sup ported. The Flour trade was rather inactive, yet the quotations obtained were about stationary ones. In the ' Seed market comparatively little was doing, if we except Linseed Cakes, which were held at a trifle more money. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Compared with that exhibited on Monday last, the supply of Beasts here was but moderate, though, for the time of year it proved seasonably good. As to the qua lity of the s:ock, it was by no means first-rate, yet there were some well made-up beasts amongst it. The weather being somewhat favourable to slaughtering, the attend ance of both town and country buyers good, and the dead markets being well cleared of their last week's sup plies, caused the Beef trade this morning to rule some what acti%e at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81b, the best Scots readily producing 4s—in some instance more--per 81e, and at which the whole found pur chasers. Several cases of disease were noticed amongst the beasts, but they were not of a serious character. During the past week the imports of stock into London and the various out ports have been good, and of some what improved quality. The numbers have amounted to sixty beasts from Rotterdam, and thirty ditto from Hamburgh. These importations, added to those previ ously advised this year, show the following supplies : London, 1,230 ; Liverpool, 86 ; Hull, 480 ; South ampton, 2 160 • Deronport, 30 ; t o t a l, 1 , 98 6 head of bea is. In addition to the above about 30 Sheep have been re ceived into London, and 180 at the out-ports, ex elusive of 40 Calves. To-day the supply of fo reign stock was confined to 22 Oxen and Cows from Rotterdam in fair condition, and for which rather higher prices were obtained by the speculators. The northern droves of beasts consisted of about 1,000 short horns. Those from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, were compose d of 400 Scots and home breds; those from the western and midland counties, of 350 Hereford, Devon, Herts, &c. From other parts of England, 350 of various breeds; while, from Scotland, we received 150 Scots, and, from Ireland, 30 beasts. The supply of Sheep was smaller than that exhibited last week; nevertheless, it was fully adequate to meet the wants of the butchers. The Mutton trade was very steady, and previous rates were firmly supported. The number of Lambs were rather limited, yet the Lamb trade was inactive, at our quotations. In Calves, the number of which was small, very little was doing, at late rates. The Pork trade was tolerably steady, and last week's currencies were supported.
