MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,700 American were taken f or export an d on speculation. The market continued tame, but closed steadily. 13 weds, at 6d. t o 6gd ., were i n requ est, and the Saies were large. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 280 Perham and Maranbam at 60. to 7id., 200 Bahia at 6gd. to 6id., 500 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., 300 Surat at 4d. to 4gd., and 70 Sea Island at Is. 9d. to 2s. 7d. per lb. Railway shares were dull, and heavy at the lower prices. The following report upon the silk trade is fur nished by Mr. H. W. Eaton : " The deliveries of China are again very large. In this silk, the activity then reported, has continued un abated, the trade buying freely, in addition to several parcels being taken on speculation. The advance established may be considered as at least is. per lb., best first sorts selling from 19s. 6d. to 205., and best seconds at 19s• per lb. The letters from Shanghai delivered this week, dated the 28th of March, have rather t ended to strengthen prices, though they do b afford any i n f orma ti on su ffi c i en tly de finite to form an opinion as to the effect of the insurrection on trade, beyond confirming the gene ral suspension of business, and the extreme scarcit y h yalo ney, with the e xc h ange ver y muc h aga i ns t shippers. ey also s t a t e, t h at even on the spot the true pos i t i on of affair s in the disturbed districts can hardly be accu rately ascertained, and a good deal of anxiety was na turally felt in regard to silk, as the operations for secu ring the first crop of the new silk must be carried out %ring the following two months. Italian silk has been r'ing More currently, at rather easier rates. In engals there is no new feature, but the last accounts f rcani India report prices high, as compared with this market." ,„. 'Lessrs. Houghton and Levy write from Liver- Pool concerning the fruit trade, as under : The t ra d e b uy w i th great caut i on, an d th ere is little or no speculation, as the accounts of the ensuing C ops are still of an indecisive character ; our advices a ny to th e 10th inst. speak of the disease having clearly 6 n° wn itself, and by the last mail this is partially con f " l ed, but still the full developement thereof requires urther authentication. However, we ourselves cannot thinly there is a doubt as to the disease being in the i pla nt, and as in no former instance where it has shown elf, has it rema i ned for a s i ng l e year , b u t w ith f:eater malignity appeared in the second, which th.g en erally supposed will be the case this season, oh " want of d ue f a ith on the part of buyers t h° above tidings is in a great measure the cause of the present inactivity, and accordingly they itinverely orate for their actual wants.. The market for .. 4 d escriptions of raisins has received a severe check duty was not to take place; but good hopes are still en tertained, from the result of the interview between the cue appointed by the trade and the Chancellor of e ° Exchequer, that his original proposition may yet be o r ie l into effect. In the meantime, the clearances are a. most contracted nature, and the article remains ne glected.

The Government a'ently has not to thank the bank much for its in thus ac ti ng di rec tl y a d verse • and, although the demand f or money i s undoubtedly large, this has arisen from peculiar circumstances. e applications for discounts and for loans upon b leuequer Bills have been so numerous that the -uank considers it may take advantage of the _cir cumstance to enhance the charge, and this it has accordingly done.

AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY JUNE 1. The American steam-yacht North Star arrived here this morning, after a passage of 10 days, 8 hours, and 40 minutes, from New York, which port she left early in the morning of the 21st ult. The North Star is a beautiful new steam-yacht of over 2,000 tons burden, belonging to Commo dore Vanderbill, of New York, the pioneer of the various lines of mail-steamers between that city and the Pacific. This steamer has been constructed specially for the private use of that gentleman, and the present is her first voyage. She was built by Mr. Simonson, of New York, and her dimensions are—length of keel, 260 feet ; length of spar-deck, 270 feet • beam 38 feet. Th e engines are from the Allaire Works, the cylinders being 60 inches dia meter, with 10 feet stroke, and the paddle-wheels 34 feet in diameter. The steam is generated in four boilers, each 24 feet long and 10 feet diameter, with single return flues. A steam-yacht of such gigantic proportions as these is likely to excite great interest in this coun try. Her cabins and interior arrangements are of the most commodious and elegant description, and fitted up entirely for the convenienee of the family of the owner, by whom he is accompanied. The North Star will shortly proceed to St. Petersburg, and thence to the Mediterranean, touching at se veral European ports, merely on a visit of plasure. Some idea of her size may be formed when we state that the North Star is of larger tonnage and greater power than the Victoria and Albert Royal yacht. She cost $500,000, and her weekly expenses are about 3501., exclusive of fuel. The crew consists of nearly 100 men, including officers, seamen, en gineers, firemen, dm. The vessel, after coaling, will be thrown open to the public, and her stay is expected to occupy ten or twelve days. The rapid voyage of this vessel from New York to Southampton is an evidence of her great speed, particularly when the newness of her machinery is taken into account. During one 24 hours the log of the North Star shows that she ran 344 miles. Her consumption of coals has been 500 tons. By this steamer we have accounts from New York to the 20th ult. inclusive, but no political news of importance. The Africa arrived out from Liverpool on the 19th ult. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MAY 20. CorroN.—Prior to the receipt this morning of the Africa's advices of the 6th inst. from Liverpool, 900 bales were sold at the full rates yesterday. After receipt we heard of no transactions. The advices are fully as favourable as anticipated, no later accounts having been received from this side since the sailing of the Atlantic on the 4th inst. THE FRENCH EMPIRE. The Paris journals of yesterday continue to be unanimous in expressing a belief that the peace of Europe will not be broken by the complications of the Turkish question. It may appear strange that with this unanimity of journals, some of which are the organs of parties whose chance of recovering the influence that they have lost would probably be improved by a war, there should be so much un easiness manifested by the public, and the Bourse should exhibit a sort of panic. This may, however, be accounted for by the fact that a certain number of clays must elapse before any news of the decision of the Emperor of Russia can be received, and although the general opinion may be that it will be favourable to the maintenance of peace, the interval will be attended with precautions on the part of France and England, which will give the appearance of preparations for war, and thus afford an opportunity to 'the speculators for a fall in the funds to work upon the minds of the timid holders of stock. Many large holders may also sell under the impression that they will be able during that interval to buy again at a lower rate, and the public at large looking only at the sales, and not inquiring into the motives, may prolong the panic. It is to be hoped that this will not be the case, and that for once the public will be influenced by the arguments of the public press. The Pays has a long article in the course of which it shows the danger that would arise to the cause of order from a war, and the interest that governments, including that of Russia, have in preventing another out break of the elements of revolution. The _Mats of yesterday gives a resume of the facts connected with the mission of Prince Men schikoff, which fills nearly the whole of its first page. The greater portion of what is stated is, however, already known to our readers from the different accounts which have been published in the English and French journals. The Presse persists in regarding a war as im possible, but, in order to tranquillise as to the result those persons who imagine that it is possible, details the means of resistance which Turkey would make against Russia. . The Journal de Franefort states that Austria and Prussia are not only engaged on the Turkish question, but also that of Switzerland, and that the Prussian Government, taking advantage of the present state of things, is about to address a new and very energetic note to the Swiss Federal Council, demanding that it shall - use its influence to cause Neufchatel to return under the domina tion of its lawful sovereign. A letter from Lille states that the judicial au- thorities of that place had proceeded to the frontier in consequence of an imp or t an t seizure of seditious writings having been mad e by the police at Tour coing. It is said that several persons residing at Roubaix, who are compromised in the affair, have been arrested and brought to Lille. The Emperor has just granted a remission of the remainder of their punishment to three political offenders now at Belle-Isle, named Beridot, rilhac, and Juillot. Business at the Bourse yesterday underwent a favourable change, all descriptions of government securities having recovered from the panic caused by the unfavourable position of affairs in the East, with a tendency towards still further improvement. At the termination of business the Three per Cents. for the account rose If. 50c., and for cash, 80c., whilst the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. improved 50c. in the quotation for money, and 25c. in that for the end of the month. Ba nk of France shares declined 7f. Closing prices :—For cash : Thr ee per Cents., 79f. 10c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 102 f. For the account : Thr ee p er Ce nts. , 79 f. 50 c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 101 f. 75c. Bank Stock, 2,685 f. 50c. In the railway share market, also, a favourable change took place, prices gene rally being well supported. In Paris and Orleans shares there was an advance of 40f. ; in P ar i s an d Strasbourgs of 35f. ; and in Northerns of 20f. The final quotations were :—Northerns, 900 f. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,085 f. Paris and Strasbourgs, 915 f. TURKEY. The Constitittionnel publishes a letter from Con stantinople of the 19th. It states that the rejec tion of the ultimatum was deteimined on at a Council extraordinary held on the 17th and 18th, to which Hosrew, Izzet, Riza, and Safette, Pachas; Fund Effendi, all th e ex-Ministers, all the most important functiona ries of the State, and a consi dainys, the answer pre viouslyresolved that consi derable number of ule mas had been sum moned.

M. de Ozeroff had been left by Prince Menschi koff at Constantinople, but was to follow him some days afterwards. Lord Stratford de Radcliffe had assured the Porte of the support of England, but has expressed a wish that something should be done to ameliorate the position of the Christians, by placing them under the guarantee of all the great Powers. The Porte has acceded. The Debats publishes an account of the negotia tions since the commencement, and comes to the conclusion that war cannot ensue. Prince Menschikoff took away with him the personnel of the legation, and left the management of the affairs concerning the protection of the Rus sian subjects to the Austrian legation. However, PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MAY 31. The festivals in honour of the marriage of Princess Anna terminated by a grand gala ball and supper, given by their Majesties, in the White Hall and adjacent splendid suite of apartments. Upwards of 1,000 invitations were issued by Count Keller, first marshal and lord steward of the household, and the whole were commodiously seated at small tables for ten covers each, and served with the most mar vellous precision and order. The ball, which was attended by the whole diplomatic corps, eclipsed, if possible, all others given by their Majesties, and was kept up until about half-past one this morning, when their Majesties and the royal family withdrew. Berlin will now fall into its wonted summer tranquillity, as the Court will migrate immediately to Potsdam ; several of the Ministers will proceed to their country seats, or to this or that brunnen ; and as many of the diplo matic corps as can obtain leave will follow their example. Marienbad seems to be the place in favour with the generality, although some will proceed to treeless, barren, and not over sweet Ostend. Be this as it may, Berlin in the course of a week will be deserted by all who can possibly escape from its dust and bad odours. Tile mania for establishing banks, or, more strictly speaking, for speculations in bank shares, appears to be extending all over Germany. No sooner was the Darmstadt affair terminated than a similar project was started atßrunswick, with a pro spectus purporting to limit the capital to 3,000,000 rix dollars. The projectors, patronised by the Government, intended, and still intend, to create a bona fide and substantial establishment ; but the project was scarcely announced ere it was converted into a medium for the wildest agiotage, and in less than a fortnight the demands for shares amounted to the enormous sum of more than two hundred millions of rix dollars, and the 100 rix dollar shares were done at a premium of 17 to 20. This is a proof, on the one hand, of the mass of capital lying dormant in the country, albeit the public funds return 3i, and the substantial railway shares 4 per cent. But, on the other hand, it is to be feared that the rage for speculation will lead to most disastrous consequences, seeing that in al most every instance the great Jewish moneyed houses, which aro behind the curtain, run up prices to a height from which they must inevitably recede at least 10 to 15 per cent., and then get rid of their shares whilst the fever is at its climax. Meanwhile the great money-dealers are reaping large profits, and projecting other speculations of a similar kind. The united Coburg-Gotha Chamber has assented to the Government proposition for according an an ticipatory assent to all conventions, treaties, and changes of tariffs which may be concluded by the Sovereign, in so far as regards the Zollverein. The Prince of Noer (says the Weser Zeitung) has sent a private envoy (privatgerandten) to Copenha gen to back up his previous protest against the Russian succession. Meantime, it appears that his elder brother, the Duke of Augustenburg, is on the eve of concluding his purchase of Count Renard's estates in Silesia for three millions. Among the English strangers invited to assist at the Court festivals were Lord Worsley and Captain Bathurst. Both wore the uniform and their re spective militia regiments, and this in a very smart and soldierlike manner, so that they did credit to our young and useful force. The journals assert that Baron Von Usedom, Prussian envoy to the Holy See, is about to resign his functions, and devote himself to parliamentary and literary pursuits ; and further, that M. Alfred Von Reumont, now Prussian Chargé d'AlAires at Florence, is to succeed M. d'Usedorn at Rome. If the latter report be true, it will be a further proof that merit and talent, and not aristocracy of birth alone, aro the mediums for attaining high and con fidential appointments. M. de Reumont, like the Chevalier Bunsen, is the sole artificer of his own advancement ; and as he is a steadfast Roman Catholic in faith, his nomination to Rome is the greatest compliment that can be paid by a Pro testant Sovereign to integrity and unflinching impartiality. BELGIUM. The Independanee states that a project of law, for augmenting the dotation of the Prince Royal, will shortly be submitted to the Chambers. A project of law has been presented for the esta blishment of regular communication by steam be tween Antwerp and New York. SPAIN. Thursday last, being the day of Corpus Christi, was observed with great solemnity in Madrid, and all the printing-offices being closed, none of the Madrid journals appeared on the following day (the 27th ult.). We have letters of that date, but they mention nothing of political interest. M. Salamanca is said to have appealed against the decision of the Royal Council, referring the con cession of the Northern Railroad to the Cortes. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

ALARMING FIRE IN LAMBETH.--Yesterday morning, shortly before one o'clock, information was received at the fire stations that a fire had broken out in Kenning ton-lane. The engines of the West of England, Lon don Brigade, Messrs. Hodges' distillery, and Price's candleworks attended, when the firemen found that the outbreak had taken place in the premises of Mr. Smith, an oilman, No. 1, South-place, Kennington lane. An abundance of water having been obtained from the Lambeth Company's mains, the firemen went to work, and soon subdued the flames. The police, it should be stated, kept the doors closed, and even held up the shutters when nearly burnt through, which kept the draught out, and thereby much property was saved from destruction. The Royal Society's escape and Mr. Baddeley arrived, but happily the inmates were enabled ' to escape without assistance. Mr. Smith was insured in the Royal Exchange Office. FIRE AT PIMLICO.—This morning, between 12 and 1 o'clock, a destructive fire broke out on the premises of Mr. John Langham, a grocer, at No. 81, Ponsonby's, place, Vauxhall-bridge-road, Pimlico. The building, which was of great extent, formed the angle of two tho roughfares, viz., Prospect-place and Ponsonby-place. With as little delay as possible the engines of the Lon don Brigade and West of England office, with Mr. Staples and Mr. Connorton, were soon on the spot, as well as the Royal Society's escapes. Unfortunately, for some time a great lack of water was experienced, and owing to the flames being unrestrained they continued to progress fearfully. At length a plentiful supply of water was procured from which the engines were set to work, but in spite of the torrents of water thrown upon the fire it continued to spread, and eventually the entire structure presented one immense sheet of flame. The firemen, to save the adjoining houses, had to mount the roofs, and by that expedient the fire was principally con fined to the premises in which it began, but it is to be regretted that they were totally destroyed, and several lodgers in the house have lost the whole of their pro perty. DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.—During Tuesday night the inhabitants of Queen's Head-lane, Lower-road, Islington, were aroused from their slumbers and greatly terrified, in consequence of some person or persons going from house to house and breaking the whole of the windows. Out of the whole row of houses in the place not one has I escaped, and several panes of glass were likewise de molished in the Queens Head Tavern. The only object the parties could have had in view, it is thought, was to deteriorate the value of the houses, the occupants being poor but industrious persons. RESTORATION OF DONCASTER CHURCH.—The site of the ruins of Doncaster parish church, which was burned down on the 28th of February last, is now nearly cleared of the debris. The money already subscribed towards , the rebuilding of the church amounts to upwards of 20,0001., but nearly 10,0001. more will be required to leffect a complete restoration of the late edifice. A letter from Berlin of the 28th ult. says— " The King of Prussia, during his stay at. Vienna, paid a visit to i Prince Metternich. It is said that when the King and the Prince had been talking of possible eventualities in Europe, the latter declared that the maintenan ce o f ! peace was a matter of necessity, even at the price of certain sacrifices. This visit of the King, who was accompanied by two aides-de-camp, is the subject of 1 general conversation." 'Zit tr''‘i jllition PARLIAMENT iRY DIVISIONS. - -- -- -- -.ea..-- .

The twenty-fifth annual dinner of the supporters of this institution took place yesterday, at the Highbury Barn Tavern, and was more numerously attended than on any previous occasion ; Charles Charrington, Esq., of the firm of Charrington, Head, and Co., was in th e chair, supported by numbers of the most influential members of the trade. The Secretary read a report, which gave a very favourable account of the progress of the institution, although complaint was made that of the 10,000 licensed victuallers of the metropolis only 3,000 contributed to its funds. The subscriptions of the past year had amounted to a sum of 2,7831., an amount far beyond the receipts of any previous year. There had also been a clear profit of 2551. from the last annual ball, being also a greater amount than had ever before been received from that source. The report contained a strong expression of thanks to the chairman and the firm with which he was con nected, who, besides being most liberal contributors to the charity, had that day by their exertions added no less than 30 subscribers to their list, whose subscriptions exceeded 132 guineas. During the quarter of a century that the society had existed, there had been 336 inmates in the asylum.iof whom 188 had died, and 143 were now participating in the benefits of the institution. There were now five vacant dwellings in the asylum, which would be filled up this year. Besides affording abodes to the destitute, the society supplied to them coals, medicine, and medical assistance, besides a money allowance per week. The endowment, however, was not sufficient to enable them to put all the inmates on weekly allowances, while to those who had it, the amount was too small to afford the relief which was desired. The source of these allowances was at present uncertain, and the board of management was anxious to get a permanent capital for that purpose. A list of subscriptions was announced. The whole sum sub scribed was about 2,500/. ET CO N.—Two resignati ons h ave arrived from the t Provost of King's C o ll ege , C am b r i dge, to the Pro a% ofv Eton College, whi c h w ill b e filled up by Lam- K.S., the present captain, and Shurley, K.S., leaving Marillier, K.S., the new captain, The vacancies at King's College were occas i oned by the resignation of the Rev.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. IYesterday was fixed upon for the second match of this distinguished club since the commencement of the present season, and the result was one of the finest and closest contests ever witnessed. This match had ex cited unusual interest amongst aquatic circles, and it may be considered as the first trial which has taken place between vessels of a large class since the success of the America in 1851 created such a furor amongst yachtsmen, and gave a new turn to the skill and science of our naval architects, who had been previously labour ing under the pleasing delusion that their yachts were perfection, and that it was absurd to suppose that those of any other country could successfully compete with them. However that might be, a long course of success had been attended with its usual results, so that a few defeats were calculated to produce a most salutary effect. True it is, however, that many are still to be found whe affect to depreciate "mere sailing machines" like the America, where comfort and accommodation are ruthlessly sacrificed to speed. If we may judge from the result of yesterday's race, a most happy combination of the two has been successfully realised in the Rosalind, a new vessel built by Inman, of Lymington, for Lord Alfred Paget, whose capabilities, it will be seen, more than realised the expectations which had been enter tained of them. The Meteor steam-vessel was chartered for the accom modation of the members of the club and their visitors, and at an early hour it left London-bridge with a nu merous assemblage on board, including a far greater number of ladies than usual. The course appointed for the match was from Graves end to sail round the Mouse Light vessel and back. The following vessels were entered : Name. Tons. Port. Owner. 1 Vestal 74 50uth......... Mr. B. G. Rowles. 2 Rosalind l9O London ...... Lord A. Paget, M.P. 3 May Fly lOO COIVOS .... Mr. T . M.P. 4 Svorige 2BO London.,_, .. .. Mr. T. Bartlett. 5 Violet 6O Plymouth ...Capt. FreestuLl, R.N. 6 Sappho lOl Portsmouth. Mr. G. P. Naylor. No time allowed for tonnage. The Sverige was decidedly the favourite, although some of the others had their respective admirers, but these were very limited in number. This vessel excited great attention, and her merits were variously criticised as she lay at anchor, being very conspicuous from her size and power amongst her smaller competitors. She Caine from Sweden too late last season to be entered for any great match ; but her fame rests upon a report of a very mysterious match, in which she is said to have per formed great exploits against the celebrated America. She is somewhat similar to the latter vessel in many points, but apparantly with more internal accommo dation, and, as she proved herself yesterday under several disadvantages, of very great speed. Her sails did not seem large enough for her, and evidently required several alterations, which, as she had been hastily fitted out for this match, it may be presumed will be forthwith executed ; she then will prove a most for midable competitor wherever she appears. The Rosa lind is also fashioned somewhat on the American model —a powerful, full-bodied vessel, with a long bow, sitting well upon the water ; and although no great sacrifices have apparently been made to speed only, she proved herself a vessel of no ordinary capabilities, considering the much greater size and power of her Swedish antago nist. The Sappho is another new boat this season, built by Camper, of Gosport. The Vestal was launched last year from the yard of Messrs. Inman of Lyinington. The other vessels are a season or two older than the above, and if the race yesterday is to be considered ally criterion, some progress has evidently been made in yacht building since 1851. The race may be described in a very few words. The Commodore fired a gun as the signal for weighing anchor at seven minutes to twelve o'clock. The Rosalind was by far the smartest in setting sail, and took a command ing lead in gallant style. The Sverige was the last off, having got her broadside on to the tide, and as it was some time before her sails filled, she was left consider ably behind. The Mayfly had a very narrow escape of fouling a large brig. They then stood out to sea in the following order :---The Rosalind, Sappho, Mayfly, Vio let, Vestal, and Sverige last of all. Nothing calling for special notice took place, except that the Sverige gra dually overhauled the others, and off South-end took the second place, the Rosalind at the time having a lead of nearly two miles. About halfway between the Bligh and Chapman Head, the Violet and the Sverige being both on the same tack, had to put about to clear a brig, and it was alleged that in so doing the latter fouled the former, who immediately hoisted a signal of protest against the Swede. A variety of conflicting accounts were given of this untoward occurrence, which mate rially marred the subsequent interest of the race, as the Sverige forfeits all claim to the prize should the protest be established. The Sverige, after this, slowly gained on the Rosalind. They passed the Mouse in the following order : Rosalind.. Sverige 2 25 22 Vestal 2 34 20 The Sappho and Mayfly passed in succession very quickly after the Vestal. The steamer having got too far astern, the run home was not very clearly seen. On coming up with the yachts, the Sverige had made up her ground, and for the last half•a-dozen miles a most exciting race ensued between them—first one and then the other, appearing from the steamer, to have the advantage. The excitement was increased by the Sverige, about two miles from the winning post, carrying away Ler foretopmast, just as she was taking a decided lead. So close were the two, that as they neared the flag-ship it was thought the Rosalind, being to windward, would be able to slip round before her opponent. The latter, however, was just enough a-head to prevent this manceuvre ; and the Rosalind, in her endeavour to avoid a foul, snapped her bowsprit. They rounded the flag as follows : Sverige 4h. 50 min. 49 sec. Rosalind Vestal Sappho 5 19 10 Mayfly 5 21 50 The Violet having long before retired from the contest. There was a very fair wind—a regular soldier's breeze— and the match was consequently sailed at a very great pace, the time being a few minutes under five hours. This is, we believe, the shortest time in which the course, 66 nautical miles in length, has ever been accomplished. In consequence of the protest the prize was not awarded, the point in dispute having been referred to the sailing committee, whose decision will be made known next Wednesday. The prize is a piece of plate, value 1001., representing Minerva as the patron deity of science, that of navigation included, presenting the first sail to the mythic hero Jason, to complete the equip ment of the Argo, previous to his celebrated expedition in search of the golden fleece. CRICKET. ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. TWENTY-TWO OF LIVERPOOL. This was, as may be said, the first match for the pre sent season of the All England Eleven, and was com menced in Prince's Pai k, Liverpool, on Monday. The earlier portion of the day was very far from favourable for cricket, and much delay was the consequence. Not withstanding this discouraging circumstance, there was not only a respectable but a very numerous attendance of spectators. The toss was won by The Eleven, who sent in Arnold and Caesar, who were opposed by the bowling of Cross land and Armitage. When the last wicket fell, the total score of the side stood at 127 ; of this number Caesar contributed 44, Anderson 26, Parr 18, Caffyn 11. Liverpool then commenced their innings, and at the close of the day had lost two wickets only for 17 runs. The score stood thus : ALL ENGLAND. Arnold, c Armitage, b Crossland...
