CRICKET.—The most exciting match of this season that between "the Gentlemen of England" and " the Players of England," was commenced at Lord's on Monday, in the lifeW Persons, of all stations in society ; t season ha s rare ly, if ever, been wit nessedground. Th e li s t s o f th e res p ec ti ve s id es notthe play in i p n r d e e s e e nd on e e o na f eci nearly ei c hkt 7t yesterday;‘ Messrs. rGN. but lum epßarton,rr e h e e wl d p h eons not t wtash broughte Il able pon t t e h e e intel appeared ligence r town; ctoh whilst the s h matches last week. Mr. Kynaston, the secretary of the Marylebone Cl u b, was t h ere f ore com -• pelled to send off expresses to various gent l emen w h o are consequence-• of an injury he r tl e i e e e i g v r e o d u i n a d, o m ne u rf fine players, and who were in the country, requesting that they would have the kindness to hasten up to London to supply the vacancies which had been created by these defec tions. Fortunately the players were " put in" first, and time was therefore gained, so .as to enable hini to fill up his eleven by the substitution of Mr. E. Pickering, who came off from Eton, Mr. Dolignan, and Mr. Campbell. As was stated in our paper of Monday, the betting was five to three on the Players, and the difficulty which had fallen upon the secretary, ere the game had commenced; caused those odds to be increased rather than diminished. The Players went in the first, and after the exhibition of some very beautiful hitting scored 130 runs. The Gentlemen then took the bat, and when " time" was called had made 80 runs with the loss of seven wickets. The play of Mr. Spencer, Mr. Taylor, Mr. A. Myfin, Mr. Pickering, and Mr. Kynasten, elicited, re peated demonstrations of applause, as, indeed, did that of. Wenmau, Dorrington, Sewell, and Bushby. The hitting by these parties was as brilliant as any we remember to have seen. The match was resumed yesterday. PAUL'S. WHARF REGATTA.—The public were on Monday entertained with the novelty of a four -oared cutter match, introduced to their notice under the ordinary regula tions of a stair's wager, the competitors, however, being landsmen instead of watermen. The contest was for a boat and other prizes, g iven by the inhabitants o f Paul's. Wharf, . Thames-street, and its vicinity. The race was with six boats, in three heats, -the distance being from Blackfriars bridge to a boat moored off the Tenrple, down round the boat moored off Allhallows'-stairs, up again to the. Temple, and back to Paul's Wharf. In the grand heat White took the lead, Red being second, and Yellow third, in th e i ns i de place. In rowing up Red touched Green on their quarter and turned them round ; and almost immediately afterwards Yellow also passed Green, without fouling. In rounding the upper fiag boat off the Temple, Red were in advance, and Yellow slightly fouled them ; Red, however, were more assisted than other wise by the-foul; 'and Yellow getting too near the station boat, the warp by which she was anchored caught Yellow under the rudder, and held them while the other boats passed. Red won by about six boats' lengths ; Green was second: White third. PITMEN'S STRIICE.—Wre regret to state that the strike still continues without any material change, for though on the one hand, we hear of additional numbers going to work, on the other the general spirit of the strike seems as unbroken as ever, and the determination to hold out, on the part of the great body of the men, as unlike giving way as it was three months ago. This distressing state of affairs can not, however lait mirchilonger—it must, as a matter of ne cessity, be brought to a close shortly by one means or another, and the longer that is delayed the greater will be tht suffer , ing and bad consequences resultin from Chronicle. .

The following speech was delivered by Mr. B. Webster, at the Haymarket Theatre, on Saturday night, on the occasion of the presentation of an elegant epergne to the above-named gentleman : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—l am not much addicted to speaking in the situation of a public man, except as an actor, for there are certain events in, auman's life that language cannot express. In that situation I am now placed by your kindness.—(Applause.) If anything on earth could enhance the value of this memorial of my humble exertions, it is that you have selected as the organ of your gift the mother of the stage, the most ac complished actress that ever adorned the profession in this country—Mrs. Glover.—(Cheers.) In my boyhood, I looked on her with reverence, and in my more mature years I look on her with delight to find that added years only shed more lustre on her talent. I have, and I own it with pride, endeavoured to make the little theatre in the Haymarket a home for English actors and authors. Your zealous co-operation has enabled me to do so successfully ; and while I live to conduct it, it shall be an English thea tre to the backbone. My excellent friend, Mrs. Glover, among other kind expressions, spoke of my dear children. (Mr. Webster here paused for a time, ap parently overcome by his feelings). They shall not be left with a bad name—(Cheers) —they shall be able to look at this token of their father's exertions with honest pride, or your valued present shall never be bequeathed to them. I stated at the commencement, Ladies and Gentlemen—my family I might say with more propriety —(Applause)—that I was unable to do justice to my feelings. I now repeat it. This is an era in my lite that must ever be held in my . most grateful recollection, and I can only say in conclusion, Ladies and Gentlemen, friends, and brother and sister artists—thank you, thank you, and God bless you all." Mr. Webster, at the conclusion of his address, was greeted with loud applause ; and Mr. Strickland, Mr. Buckstone, and Mrs. Glover, shook him warmly by the hand, and some laughter was excited by the manner in which Mr. Webster, in returning the compliment, saluted the lady. Mr. Webster then proposed the health of his estimable friend Mr. Carter, the treasurer, in a feeling speech, which was responded to with great enthusiasm. lex T t h g e iv h e e n a , l a th nd o , f , s ' u ' c A c i e r s s s . t l o V t e h b e st u er a y and r - k c e h t i l w r e a s n ' d ' . r u w n a k s with acclamation.

At home every day till Three, and from Five till Eight, THE FRENCH• xIIT OTAHEITE. TO TILE - Enrroit OF THE TIMES. Papeete, March 6, 1844. Silt,—The denouement is hurrying so rapidly to a dote that, not foreseeing what it may be, I think it the better plan to apprise my countrymen, through the co lumns of your paper, of the strange acts which have been enacted here of late. Bearing her Majesty's com mission, and enclosing you my name and rank, I pledge you that which is most sacred to a British officer—his honour—to each fact I assert. Long ere this can be received, the public, will be in possession of the under hand and ungentlemanly manner in which Admiral Du= petit Thouais forced the Protectorate on Queen Pomare ; a demand of 10,000 dollars being made on a nation who were unable to pay the former one of 2,000. The paper prewnted to the Queen was worded in such a Jesuitical manner as to deceive Europe into thelielief that it was a voluntary act of the Queen ; whereas the alternative was the French guns opening' on her people, and laying her towns in ashes. The trivial pre text seized on with such avidity, of the Queen *tieing a crown set round with cocoa-nut leaves, and: not inserting some device to please the French in her pril;ate flag, istoo flimsy to blind any one not wilfully so Some ex cuse was wanted to haul down her flag. This answered, for want of a better. Four hundred marines were landed in presence of two of the Queen's chiefs ; her.flag was violently taken down, and the French colours thinhoistM ; they are still flying. The Queen, being apprised that it was the intention to seize her, and place her eldest son (a boy about seven years old) on a nominal throne, go verned by a French regency, fled to her -Majesty's ketch the Basilisk. She was received by LieUtenant Hunt, who gave up his accommodation to her Majesty, her husband, and three children, with some other persons of rank. She has resided for several weeks oh board this little vessel, not being permitted ,to land; SOme time ago, hearilig that her subjects had fled from their homes, had assenibled in the mountains,. and were in a state of great exatement., of her own accord she dispatched a letter; which Was-seized by the .French Governor. It has been construed, into`treason against the majesty of France. .4:append an authenticated e . opy, and mark it N o . 1. .*oxiie! other chiefs were invited iri-and seized—one of theni loaded With irons. They are all Still confined on board the frigate Ambacade. A proclamation was published ten days ago ; it is also appended, and marked 2. These .1 chiefs merely fled, dreading the punishment their friends had received. On Sunday week soldiers came to a house where the Queen's female attendants resided ; they threw their things and the Queen's furniture about. turnerti - to.rn ‘4.lt uuuse into a inizue. 1116 poor people, having no shelter, have since then resided in the British chapol. The French Governor has strained every nerve to put this place into a fit state of defence ; he boasts that if two months more be given him, he would defy any ship to enter. The small island in front of the harbour is having an earthen embankment of twelve feet raised on it : fifteen 32-pounders are to be mounted, also barracks built for the gunners. Commanding the entrance to the harbour barracks are built, and a battery being erected, to be armed with fourteen 8-pounders. Other works are being constructed behind the town on the rise of the hill. The French war-steamer went with the proclamation to prevent the natives passing on the isthmus. Some of them, returning to their homes, have been stopped ; several have lost their money and other property. The Go'. ernor has gone with 400 soldiers to erect a fort and hem the people in ; an Englishman went with him as a pilot to take the frigate and steamer as far as water would permit. The acting Governor has issued a pro clamation, which I also inclose and mark 3, de claring this place in a state of siege. All English officers are obliged to be on board at eight o'clock, P.M. Last night parties were found destroying all English boats hauled up on the beach : a few renegades who are a disgrace to their country have had their property spared. An owner of a vessel, who has just sold it to the French Government, not being able to procure any English house, is residing with his wife, and has young children, in a native one ; he wrote mentioning that his wife is ill, daily expecting her confinement, and requesting he might be permitted to keep a light, but has been re fused. He called on the acting Governor, informed him of the dangerous state of his wife—the same apa thetic reply was given, that no exception could be made in his favour. Now, Sir, I am coming to a fact which will astonish you. A French officer, high in employ, no less a person than the Commissary-General, the day before yesterday publiely stated in presence of some Englishmen, that if the natives rise and are joined by any Englishmen, he would go, and with a pistol be the first man to shoot Mr. Pritchard. What must be the state of the vulgar crew when their chief people speak in this assassin-like man ner ? A gentleman is thus spoken of who is a minister of peace. Mr. Pritchard was for many years a mission ary out here. For ten years he has served his country as British Consul ; he is beloved by the Queen, respected and looked up to by the people, devoting many hours to their spiritual good : he is universally well spoken of by the commanders of English vessels ; this has rendered him obnoxious. The French have placed themselves in a sad degraded state when they thus war against those, all the world over respected by belligerents—the clergy and women. Did I pause here, I think I should have given you sufficient ; but where has England suffered an outrage equal to that which was ton her last evening Mr. Pritchard left his house to go on board her Majesty's steamer Cormorant to see some of the officers ; he had only a few yards to walk from his gate to the jetty. The commandant of police, who had been observed all day prowling about, ran out of the guard-house (it is the one from which the Queen's attendants have been expelled, and only a few yards off), without his hat, seized Mr. Pritchard, and hurried him off, followed by some soldiers. Immediately on hearing it the com mander of the Basilisk and myself went off to the acting Governor, M. d'Aubigny ; he refused to tell where Mr. Pritchard was confined. After some demur he gave a paper to Lieutenant Hunt, which he also read aloud. It was of such an atrocious nature that we agreed not to mention the contents, fearing the extra alarm it would throw Mr. Pritchard's family into, and the excitement it would cause amongst the population in general. Judge of my surprise to hear this morning that it was placarded in French, English, and Tahitian on the different public places. I herewith append copies in both the former languages, and mark them 4. A British subject, and he our Consul and the representative of the Majesty of England, treated as a common convict, seized in open day, in the presence of his family, hurried like a vile malefactor along the streets, jeered at by French sol diers as he was dragged in front of the barracks. Is England thus low that she will not call down for ven geance on the dastards' heads who thus dare insult the person to whose keeping she had confided her honour ? It is not yet forgotten that the persecuted Queen Pomare has been ever the firm friend to Englishmen. Her father and grandfather sheltered and protected them. There is no security for life or property. Many are sending their money and papers on board the vessels in the harbour, and, unfortunately we have only a war steamer carrying six guns, and a ketch of 200 tons here. Was an English man-of-war here, the French autho rities would not dare to have gone to such insane lengths. By the subjoined document, you will perceive that Mr. Pritchard is kept a close prisoner, no one allowed access to him; not even a friendly eye to see him. The document brought- by the soldier would not be left; but this translation was taken as it was and loudly read. The prison is a wretched wood hut behind the French Governor's house, who, si nce th e ex il e o f t h e Q ueen, h as occupied her habitation. Every act of the French Go vernment in this island shows the animus against the Queen. I could swell your columns, did I mention the daily acts of oppression which are being committed. The above I vouch for as A BRITISH OFFICER. No. 1. POMARE'S LETTER TO THE CHIEFS. Health to you all.

JOHN BARLOW, silk throwster, Coniston, Cheshire, ROYAL SEA-1A THING IN FIRM.AR Y. On Monday the subscribers to this Institution, which is situate at Margate, and is supported by voluntary subscrip tions, for the purpose of affording sea-bathing to the poorer classes, in cases of illness requiring it, held their annual meeting, at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., took the chair, supported by a great number of the donors and subscribers to the Institution. Alderman Gibbs, the treasurer, read the annual statement of accounts, winch stated that the life subscriptions for the past year had been 251/. 10s., and subscriptions and donations to 229/. ss. 9d.; the collections at four chapels to more than 4007.; cash received from parishes and patients, 949/. 15s. 5d.; and the total - "receipts to 3,462/. 18s. The disbursements for the year had been, for building and repairs, 830/. 14S. lid.; and the balance in hand was found t o be 349r95. Bd. he accounts were passed, with an assurance from the Visiting Committee that the Institution was going on prosperously—that the facilities afforded to poor patients were greater than rich patients could obtain at the same place—and that not one farthing of debt was owing by the Institution. A resolution was passed suggesting the necessity of taking some measures to procure a more regular income for the use of the Institution than has hitherto been obtained, and recommending an appeal to the Life Governors to c o nt r ib u t e an annua l subscription, which, if successful, might greatly relieve the amount of patients' board, which the directors were now obliged to charge in order to make use of every Ward in the Infirmary. It was also agreed that an appeal be made to the London Hospitals to tak beds for the use of such of the hospital patients as required sea-bathing. The main point of the day was the passing a most unanimous and cordial vote of thanks to Al derman Gibbs as treasurer. Mr. D. W. Wire rose to move a resolution of thanks to a much-maligned and undeservedly abused individual, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, for the assiduous at tention and unwearied exertion he had shown in attending the meetings of the Institution, collecting subscriptions for it, and generally attending to its interests. Ile (Mr. W.) was one of those who knew Ald. Gibbs, and lie also kne*hith to be incapa ble of those acts which had been charged upon him hyineetings packed and secret, from which reporters from t 114; public press were excluded, and garbled, incorrect, artilainfair re-- ports sent out to suit those who were his enenlieS. - He (Mr. Wire) considered that the greatest faults of Mr. Alderman Gibbs had' been That he had too low -, left uncontradicted mid uninterfered with the abominable and untrue tales Which had been circulated to his prejudice ; but 'a thne *ould come when he would be able, as candidate for the highest office in the City, to prove his character and honesty. In the meantime the votes of thanks passed to him by the bodies of charitable and Civic institutions would best prove th© estimation he was held in by those who best knew hint lie then moved his reselytion, which was extremely comph4qos. rientary to Alderman Gibbs, Mr. Eddison seconded the mo- • tion, which was carried unanimously. Alderman Gibbs ab- • stained in reply from any observation apart from the meeting itself. He left his character to a future occasion, and a more fitting and public place. lie had been treasurer of this society since 1811, and he hoped to be spared to render it farther assistance. The meeting then separated. THE ROBBERY AT THE )31R MINGHAM BANK. BInMINGIIASI, MONDAY EVENING.—As was to be an tiicipated from. the very prompt measures taken byrtr. Stephens, Superintendent of Police, the young man • earner, who . ran off on Thursday last from the above bank, with twelve hundred pound notes, has been appre hended. He was taken into custody on Saturday even- -* nig, in Chester, in a state'of drunken insensibility, and • conveyed this morning to our police-office. He arrived iii care of Mr. Hill and Mr. Mitchell, constables, and was placed in the dock, before J. Bolton and T. lklby, }:sqs., borough magistrates. Mr. Ingleby, solicitor, appeared for the Banking COm inissioners, and Mr. John Suckling for the prisoner. George Mitchell, constable, of C hester, deposed that on Skturday evening, about eight o'clock, as he was walking through Watergate•street, in the above town, he saw the prisoner furiously driving a horse and gig, and evidently iirapable of guiding the a.nimal. Seeing that he was in danger of doing mischief he went up to him, and endea voured to persuade him to come down out of the gig, but he would not consent, and resisted him very much. He (witness) however insisted upon him giving up the con trol of the horse, and he conveyed the prisoner to the Yacht Hotel, and asked the landlord to take carer of him Until he became sober. . Thelandlord said be would, and he, Mitchell, then deemed it right to search him, in order -- to secure any money he might have, previous to his going up stairs to bed.' He then searched his•right hand trousers pocket, and found in it nine sovereigns and 14s. 6d., and some copper money. He then found bUndle of papers, containing twelve 51. notes of the bank of Wolverhampton, and in another roll of paper be found eleven 1001. note S..

The Magistrates remanded the prisoner till Thursda, RICHARD DADD, the PARRICIDE. ROCHESTER, JULY, 29.—This morning, d ur i ng t h e sitting of a full bench of county magistrates at the police-office of Messrs. Essell, Hayward, and Essell, College-green, in this city, an announcement was made to them of the arrival of Richard Dadd. the supposed murderer, in the custody of Mr. May, of the K division of police, with Sergeant Shaw, of the A division, who were dispatched by the Secretary of State, Sir James C raham, to France, to claim his person from the French authoTities. The prisoner was confined in a lunatic asylum at Clermont, about 30 miles distance from Beau vais, to the right of Paris, which place they left on Fri day morning. The prisoner, who was pinioned by the arnis, and wore a large military blue cloak, alighted with the officers from a carriage. He wore rather a lengthened beard, and hair over his upper bp. On his entering the office, he with a firm step entered the dock. There was a visible wildness of expression in his face, and his eyes wandered over the whole court. Mr. Hayward, the clerk, having prepared an infor mation against the prisoner, exhibited by Thomas Cooper Bines, a constable of Chatham, charging the prisoner with the murder of Robert Dadd, the prisoner's father, in Cobham .park, the seat of the Earl of Darnley, on the evening of the 23d of August, 1843. Bines, the officer, prayed for a remand, to enable him to procure the several witnesses to establish the case of the murder against the prisoner. The information was read over to the prisoner, who, with an expression of wildness, said, " You say I am the murderer, you b—y villain." The Rev. George Davies, Chairman, observed, the in formation having been read over, have you anything to say, prisoner, why you should not stand remanded ? Prisonor.—No, nothing. The Magistrates then remanded the prisoner for one week, and to be brought up again next Monday. On the prisoner leaving the office, he turned to the Court, and said, " It is true, and I have got the money." The prisoner was again placed in the carriage, and conveyed away in custody of Mr. May and Sergeant Shaw for Maidstone gaol. The arrival of this unfortu nate young man in his native place has caused the great est sensation, as the whole of his family was well known and much respected. INFANTICIDE.—Monday morning a very long in quiry was held before Mr. Carter, Coroner for Surrey, at the Lambeth workhouse, touching the death of a newly-born female child, the illegitimate offspring of Faith Bowerman, who resided with her brother and sister, at 3S, Belvidere road, Lambeth. Some particulars have appeared. The in quest was postponed principally to allow time for the reco very of the young woman. She had been taken before the, Magistrate at Union-hall Police-court, and was fully com mitted to the Central Criminal Court to take her trial on the capital charge of murder. Upon the re-assembling of the jury yesterday, the Coroner inquired whether the accused was present to hear the evidence, and he was told that she was in Horsemonger-lane gaol, awaiting the approaching Old Bailey trials. The Coroner replied that so far from the ad journment having a beneficial effect, it had worked exactly :Inefarohrertlaie;:eeaad repe titions thathmadeorshort opposite to what he intended. He thought it nothing but nT r h c : ei e p e e w N r j v l au y o sr u ‘l l ,l i right that, the accused should have an opportunity of bear ingse the wished evidence,toleave the had e i, h .o e r k li h e o e u n isciee p , out a summons and placed it in the hands of the constable. Attlw o f i nlqvuheastt previously viMoounsid3a.y appeared.the eN consultation, returned a verdict of " Wilful )Murder against Faith Bowerman." On Sunday last the Rev. Mr. Brasbie read his pub lic recantation from the errors of Popery, in Dingle Church. The fact of a priest abjuring Popery caused great excitement, and the magistrates havjng got full notice that the mob were determined to execute Lynch law on the priest on his road to the church, they took full precautions to preserve the peace. Before service commenced the townspeople were astonished to see the Hon. Captain Plunket, of her Majesty's steamer Stromboli, march into town from Ventry, with a force of about one hundred men, including the Marine artillery and marines, with drums and colours. This fine body of men, armed to the teeth, having joined the seamen and marines of her Majesty's brigantine the Lynx, under the command of Captain Nott, presented such an imposing appearance that we need scarcely say everything passed off very quietly. The coast guards from the surrounding stations were marched to church fully armed and conveyed the Rev. Gentleman to the house of the Rev. Mr. Gayer, where he at present remains. Mr. Gilman, our active sub-inspector, had all his police ready to turn out at a moment's notice. Dingle, for the last twenty years, never presented such a force.—Kerry Evening Post. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—On Monday, by direction of the Commissioners of the Woods and Yorests, workmen were employed in making the excavations for the new sewer, which is to pass down the centre of the street that is to connect Holborn with' Oxford-street, and which will be about 2,000 feet in length, the new street being about 1,800 feet long. It is expected that this will take about six weeks to complete ; and when finished, the new roadway will be carried out as fast as possible, as water and gas-pipes will have to be laid down. The cellars on the south side, from Oxford-street to Charlotte-street, have all been removed, so that there. is now an open thoroughfare from Oxford-street to Bedford Chapel. In various other - parts the cellars are also formed, and the street throughout is exhibiting the intended line. In a few days, on the houses in Holborn being removed, there will be a clear view of Ox ford-street from Holborn. - _ r eet f o f Oce .100 6 ie 4 P— n ds liche` rcIV 'OD" o3t" 40 1, f
