His Lordship, the late Premier, has just issued an address to the electors of London, urging his claims upon them as a candidate at the forthcoming elec tion, which, coming from such a man, is worthy a consideration which, on other grounds, it would not receive. Lord JOHN enters into a long review, first of the "proposals" put forth by the MEL BOURNE administration, which, he says, "bore the character of a marked, but gradual advance to Free Trade "These proposals," he adds, "were vir rejected ; and the administration of Lord t ually MELBOURNE was at an end." His Lordship, how ever, forgets to remind us that there were certain other " proposals" of Lord MELBOURNE'S govern ment, which materially contributed to the downfall of that government—the Irish appropriation clause, for example; and that during his own subsequent tenure of office he has afforded ample warranty of the rea sonableness of the Conservative opposition to those particular proposals, by carefully avoiding their re introduction to Parliament. His Lordship next traces the policy of Sir ROBT. PEEL'S government, from 1842 to June, 1846 ; and his own measures, following up that policy to the cpening of the present session, enumerating, at the same time, those which he had himself intro- duced to reduce the burthens more particularly pressing upon the agricultural and the shipping interests. In summing up the results of the past ten years of our legislation, he concludes as follows : "The produce of Customs, Excise, Stamps, and Taxes, was, in 1842, £18,000,000 ; in 1851, £46,600,000. Thus the relief to the country has been £12,200,000 ; the loss to the revenue only £1,400,000." Nymv, 11tlIPL ),At -.01 . ,, AeR ~, 1 1 1 ,1, p r ,..," rIia,L,ONWAY-STRFET.

His Lordship, in the frenzy of his re awakening from his recent torpor, has even forgot ten to consider as a drawbrack to his alleged " relief to the country" of £12,200,000, that we have had to submit to an Income Tax of between five and six millions sterling. Turning and tossing uneasily in his bed, in some back apartment of Chesham House, the mortified ex-premier doubtless " Heard a voice we cannot hear",— bewailing the fact of the free trade bubble bursting, and the fingers of the RussEL LS being no longer per mitted to dip into the Treasury purse every quarter day; and, thus roused, he rushed into the field, ex claiming " I can have no hesitation in accepting the challenge to decide finally, completely, and conclu t4ti. ~ k t tt lii i ktsp Ai orroN„ o t ; 81 4 4 ,1 7 114L1D FURNITURE, OIL PAINTINGS I trade."

THE ARBITRARY POWER OF THE GO VERNMENT OFFICERS UNDER THE PASSENGERS' ACT. WE have remarked, in previous publications, upon the danger of the increased powers proposed to be given, by the Passengers' Act at present before parliament, being exercised with such stringency as to become intolerable to the respectable parties at present engaged in this important and increasing business. Already they are sufficiently uncon trolled to allow of serious annoyance being practised upon individuals, where the officers to whom they are entrusted, or their subordinates, are men of a crotchetty or tyrannical disposition. A case, re ported in another part of our paper, which recently occurred in Greenock, bears out most strikingly the correctness of our opinion. A commander in the Royal Navy, Captain MARCUS FREEMAN BROWNRIGG, it appears, is the emigration officer for the ports of Glasgow and Greenock ; and, as such, summoned Mr. T. 0. HUNTER, a merchant and licensed passenger agent in the latter port, for an alleged breach of the Passengers Act, first in not having a list of the names and addresses of the persons holding his written authority to act as his agents ; and secondly " in not having transmitted a certified list of such persons, as aforesaid, to the emigration office nearest to his place of business." In reply, it was shown by the defendant that he had, at the time, no such recognised agents, except his own clerk, whose case, he contended, the Act of Parliament did not contemplate ; and it was alleged, upon very strong grounds, that the emigration officer enter tained an animus against the owner of the vessel, of which Mr. HUNTER was the agent, arising out of a transaction which had occurred on a previous voyage. An actual threat was proved that he would " make an example" of that vessel ; and it was shown that, the sheriff's substitute having decided a plaint, brought by a passenger against the owners of the vessel in question, in their favour, the officer had encouraged the plaintiff to carry the case to the Court of Session, by appeal, such plaintiff suing in forma pauperis—and thus, whatever might be the decision, entailing certain expense upon the owners. Other arbitrary and crotchetty proceedings by the emigration officer were alleged, for a perusal of which, in extenso, we refer our readers to the report itself ; and, as the result, it will he seen that gentleman was placed in the very undignified position for a representative of the government, of having to pay the costs incurred by the party against whom he had manifested his absurd and tyrannical animosity. The whole case is worthy of attentive perusal, as showing bow far annoyance may be practised upon communities, over whom gentlemen of crooked tempers, possessed with inflated notions of their own importance, and confident in the absence of all efficient control over their actions, may be placed. At all events it ought to settle the question, now pending between the emigration trade and the pro moters of the bill at present before parliament, as to the necessity of an appeal being allowed against some of the proceedings of the emigration officers. If these parties are to be absolute and irresponsible, we may look forward to a gradual transfer of the business of emigration from British to European ports. It can no longer be carried on here by respectable men, or persons of independent mind. COLLIERY ACCIDENTS SOME of the ablest engineers that the country has produced are those which have been connected with mines, for every difficulty which is encountered on the surface is met with in an exaggerated degree in the operations under ground. Also, some of the most appalling accidents with which the feelings of humanity are excited have taken place in mines, for danger is multiplied also. We rarely hear of so many lives being lost in a mine as in the wreck of a steam-ship : accidents of the former kind come with greater suddenness and with greater frequency. Even those who escape, escape often only with the life; the record of the occurrence is written in the mutilated limbs which make the sufferers pensioners for life on public charity. But a few days have passed since a fearful acci dent occurred in Carmarthensbire at a coal-mine, where by the sudden irruption of water no fewer than twenty-six human beings lost their lives. In the dead of night the roar of water was heard, a sound more terrible than that of breakers is to mariners; and of all the poor fellows who struggled for life, one can say like Job's messengers, " I only am escaped alone to tell thee." The public had not recovered from the surprise and sorrow into which they had been thrown by this melancholy accident, when another accident still more fearful and fatal occurred in our own neighbourhood, at ' the Arley coal-mine near Wigan. The general result may be stated at thirty-three dead and five dying. Thus sixty-four human beings, the greater proportion of them married men with families dependent on them, have been hurried into eternity whilst engaged in the pursuits of their honest in dustry. It is not expected that in the former case the bodies can be recovered from the shroud of mud and water in which they are enveloped, and in the latter those which have been recovered are so mutilated as to be hardly recognizable. It is an astonishing fact that men who are sur- rounded with danger are proverbially incautious ; THE IRISH EXILES. MR. SMITH O'BRIEN and his fellow-labourers in the work of rebellion are destined to herd sheep and mend roads in Australia for some time to come. A memorial, which contained a great array in the way of signatures, was presented to the Earl of EGLINTOUN on Monday; but his Excellency returned to it a prompt and distinct refusal. It is only an act of kindness to the parties interested to speak plainly on such occasions ; and as for the prayer of the memorial, it is difficult to imagine what other reply could be returned. One of the silliest insurrections which is anywhere recorded in history was characteristically got up by the silliest set of men ; some of the leaders in which regretted that they had not assassinated the only man who gave respectability to the movement, and whose high sense of right and wrong would not allow them to plunder the quiet people in whose names they fought. When caught and convicted, they affected to despise the Royal clemency ; and they refused to seek the mercy which they did not merit, knowing that it would be extended to them never theless. And after all the empty vaunting respecting their power and importance, the numbers that they could command at an hour's notice, and the multi tudes who were ready to die by their sides in fighting against England and Protestantism, it is pleaded that they are insignificant, that they could do no injury, that the anger of a great nation should be appeased, and so on. All this is literally true, but it is not the whole truth. The very nature of an apology, especially such as theirs ought to be, is prospective rather than retrospective. The past is cared for ; and, thanks to the strong arm of the law, the union flag still floats from the battlements of Dublin Castle. Their impotence has been demonstrated ; but the only sorrow that they have yet shown is sorrow that their schemes did not succeed. Some have escaped ; others have tried to do so ; and the sympathisers on this side of the ocean have shown the greatest joy at vague rumours, even though these involved a breach of parole. Until, at least, a verbal promise is made for the future, we believe that the well-meaning, but not very clear-headed, people who signed the memorial cannot come into court ; though there could be no danger in the Government " of its own mere motion" giving the exiles the whole range of the colonies of the southern hemisphere. They might then associate with Frenchmen at the Mauritius. join the Caffres at the Waterkloof, dig for nuggets in Victoria land, or become farmers in New Zealand. VISIT OF THE CANDIDATES TO LIVER POOL.—MR. CARDWELL'S IRISH ALLIES ORGANISING FOR "THE STRUGGLE." MR. FORBES MACKENZIE will arrive in Liver pool on Saturday next, and will probably remain here the greater portion of the following week, and during his stay address his friends in such places as may be determined upon. Mr. MACKENZIE, we understand, will be the guest of Mr. JOHN Moss,, of Otterspool, during his stay. Mr. CARDWELL'S arrival is fixed for this day week, the Ist of'June, when, no doubt, he will take similar opportunities of addressing the electors. We have much pleasure in informing our Conser vative friends that the canvass progresses favourably for the good old cause; and that the return of Messrs. MACKENZIE and TURNER is assured, if energy and perseverance are used by their friends. Last night two important meetings were held; one of the body of sail makers, and another of the free men of Vauxhall and Scotland Wards, in the Car penters' Hall. Both meetings were very nume rously attended; and the proceedings were most enthusiastic. With respect to Mesrs. CARDWELL and EWART, a searching enquiry will have to be made of them, when they make their appearance before the elec tors, respecting a most disgraceful fact which trans pired at the freemen's meeting last night. On our reporter proceeding towards Bond-street, he observed the Irish population in the neighbourhood of Mary bone and the low streets surrounding " Holy Cross" --as the Romanists have christened their new chapel—in an unusual ferment ; and in Bispham street, opposite the School-house, an expectant mob was gathered, reading a green placard, the most conspicuous line in which was " the strug gle." It was announced in the Carpenters'-hall that a young man was to be introduced by the Rev. Father NOBLE to the audience of Irish Roman Catholics assembled in the school-room in question, to lecture upon the subject of " the struggle" in behalf of Rome. This young man, up to a week previous, had had the teaching of a hundred Protestant children belonging to the congregation of one of the most faithful Protestant ministers of this town ! He now boasts that, whilst Jesuitically feigning to be Protestant, he had become acquainted with the organization of the Conservative party, and was prepared to do good service for the Roman Catholic candidates, Messrs. Cardwell and Ewart. Are these gentlemen aware of the degradation which they are drawing down upon themselves by an alliance with a party capable of such despicable proceedings, and evidently willing to enlist the fiercest passions of their blinded followers in their support? We ask of Messrs. CARDWELL and EWART this question ; and we trust that their and the fact is only to be explained on the principle of undue familiarity with it. Every one who is acquainted with mining knows how difficult it is to persuade the men to make use of the Davy or Safety Lamp ; and those familiar with the sea know the deeds of reckless daring performed by sailors, very few of whom ever learn to swim. In cases of the former kind, Government should step in with some stringent regulations to protect the many from the carelessness or recklessness of the few. Where one man can destroy his own life, the law says it will not permit suicide ; and where one can destroy a score along with his own, it is highly proper and absolutely necessary that stringent precautions should be used. Casualties will, of course, occur, against which no human foresight could guard ; but when we see the comparative safety which is ensured by extreme caution at gunpowder factories, we have strong hopes that something might he done to diminish the risk with miners. INTOLERANCE OF THE CHURCH OF ROME. FERDINAND the Catholic was called by Spanish writers " Gov's scourge upon the Moors ;" and there are a few Protestant champions in our own day who are equally unwearied in their assaults upon the errors of the Romish system. Dr. M'NEILE is one of these, in our own locality ; he shows!his regard for the persons of his reli gious opponents by his efforts to expose and purify their principles. A lecture is announced to be delivered by him on the 7th of June, in the Amphitheatre, in which he proposes to demonstrate that intolerance is inherent ential to, the whole system. There are many easy-minded Protestants who fraternise with the slippery Mr. CARDWELL and his party, from a coincidence in the principle of what is called " Free Trade in, and es But the respectable supporters will insist upon an answer. SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES, LONDON. THE Society of Antiquaries, which had a sort of existence since 1572, and which was revived in 1707, was incorpo rated by Royal Charter in 1751. It is the only chartered body of Antiquaries in the United Kingdom ; as the Royal Irish Academy is of a mixed character, and the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, though now seventy years old, has never been incorporated. That the Society of Antiquaries in England has done much to preserve our national monuments, and to promote the study of Anti quity, is unquestionable, during a continuous existence of nearly a century and a half ; but it has done little indeed compared with its responsibility and means. It has al ways been the first of the Literary Societies, as the Royal Society has always been the first of the Scientific ones ; it has invariably comprehended the foremost men of the age, both in England and on the Continent ; and its transactions, " The Archseologia," form a complete body of historical materials. In 1807 the annual payment of each of its fellows was raised from £2 2s. to £4 4s. ; while it was not till nearly twenty years after that the Royal Society raised its annual payments from two gui neas and a half to four pounds. The Antiquaries' Society, therefore, has exacted the largest payments, and for the longest period of time ; yet the sleepy manner in which it was conducted till lately was matter of universal remark. Of two Secretaries, who were both paid high salaries, it used to be said that the one could not read, and the other could not write ; and the sum of £3OO was repeatedly voted to one of the Secretaries, for making out an Index, which any active man would have done for ten guineas. The known inefficiency of the Society, with all these pay ments, led to the formation of several smaller Societies to do its work, and especially of the Archaeological Institute and Association, the joint subscriptions to which amount to £l5OO per annum. In 1847 the Auditors drew attention to the state of the finances, :lad latterly it has been apparent that the junior Societies ran away not only with the members and funds, but with the intellect on which the Society calculated ; so that the President and Council have proposed to the So ciety a thorough meas ure of reform, to be decided on Thursday evening next. They propose that the Society forget that there are religious as well as pies bound up in the contest; and it is therefore very desirable that they should be present to hear what will be advanced for their especial benefit. Let the arguments political princi- receive the weight to which they are entitled, no more ; this is all we ask. Dr. M'NEILE proposes to prove that those who abet the designs of Rome under the plausible but deceptive plea of " Religious Liberty," are acting either in " ignorance or hypocrisy." revert to its former rate of subscription, viz., £2 25., and that the entrance fee be reduced from eight to five gui neas ; giving to any former Fellow, who may have resigned, the option of rejoining the Society without entrance fee. Mr. Pettigrew announces an amendment, which is prac tically that matters remain in static quo ; but it is to be ;turn to ake of literature, that the recomme e carried - - The unhappy divisions which have arise Association and the Institute would then be both being merged in the maternal Society ; and those who have been contending on behalf of Archie- GRAND CRICKET MATCH, YESTERDAY. ology, some of them with great spirit, but often in small and isolated associations, would then present one united front in struggling for the cause of literature and anti quity. From this town alone, between £3O and £4O per annum is paid to Antiquarian Societies in the metropolis, the half of which, judiciously spent, would produce more benefit than the whole does MEETING OF FREEMEN IN THE CARPENTERS' HALL LAST NIGHT. A numerous meeting of the freemen of Vauxhall and Scotland wards was held last night at the Carpenters'- hall, Bond-street, Mr. Alderman Parker in the chair. On the platform we observed Mr. Peacock, Mr. R. Clay. Mr. J. Burroughs, Mr. H. Kirby, Mr. Wells, Mr. Taylor, Mr. R. Blundell, &c. Mr. Alderman PARKER said that, having been called upon by a deputation of the freemen of Liverpool, he had gladly agreed to take the chair on this occasion, confident the freemen were impressed with the same feelings of that loyalty which he himself held, and that they were never more determined to return two men holding their own principles than on this occasion. Their opponents and the Manchester school had raised the cry of the big loaf; and from this it might be supposed that they were the friends of the poor ; yet at this moment the children of the poor were compelled to be placed under the care of Government officers to prevent their being oppressed by these Manchester men. From what he himself knew of the canvass, he was satisfied that their candidates would be placed at the head of the poll. He concluded by announcing that next week Mr. Forbes Mackenzie would be amongst them. (Cheers.) Mr. CLARKE moved the resolution, " That Wm. F. Mackenzie and Charles Turner, Esqs., are entitled to our support, that we will give them our votes, and best exer tions, and we call upon our brother freemen in other wards to assist in returning representatives who will de fend the rights of freemen, and support the best interests of our native land." The speaker energetically called upon the meeting to support the present Government, as the true friends by whom the working men, who requir. d labour and money, would be supported ; and exposed the selfishness of the wealthy manufacturer, who sought only for cheap labour and cheapness for himself. The speaker quoted several declarations from the Free-traders, urging that cheap bread should be had at any cost, and contrasted these with the opinion of Mr. Huskisson, that cheap bread was only a good when drawn from British sol. If Adam Smith in favour of the home trade, as more valu. able than foreign trade ' • & Dr. Chalmers on the subject of Free-trade; and contended that every Protestant elector ought to respect the opinion of that respected man, now dead. The speaker continued an eloonent address, by calling upon the Freemen of Liverpool to support with a united effort the Conservative candidates, Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner. (Loud and long-continued cheers.) He proceeded to mention a fact, which he de plored in shame, that, because they bad this and some other meetings to-night, the Roman Catholics were holding one in another part of the town, which they called " The Strug gle," and that meeting was to be addressed by ayoung man, brought there by Mr. Noble, the priest, who, up to within the past week was the teacher of a hundred Sunday school children belonging to one of our Protestant churches. (Murmurs and sensation.) This was the mode in which Mr. Cardwell and Mr. Ewart were organising the Papists to procure their return. (Loud cheers.) Mr. WATSON seconded the resolution in a brief but forcible and most appropriate speech, which we regret that our space and the late hour prevents us from reporting. Mr. ROLSTON moved the second resolution, condemning the policy of the repeal of the Navigation-laws. Mr. WATSON seconded the resolution. A vote of thanks was moved to the Chairman, who briefly returned thanks, and the meeting separated. BANKRUPTCY COI,TRT, YESTERDAY. IN RE JOSEPH HULL.—This bankrupt came up for his last examination, before Mr. Commissioner Perry. Mr. Simon appeared for the assignees and Mr. J. Yates, jun. for the bankrupt, who was examined at very great length as to the state of his affairs. It appeared that his liabilities were £3844 14s. 2d., and his assets £192 15s. 6d., but of the latter, with the exception of £l3, all was ex. pectations from his late father's estate. The examination was adjourned for a week to give the bankrupt an oppor tunity of explaining an account between himself and Messrs. Gardner and Co. of Preston, for work done to his mill. " Who shall say that the days of chivalry are gone by? If we have not, as of old, gay tournaments, in which re nowned knights- errant tilted each other to theirhearts' con tent, for the promotion of true prowess, and the edification of assembled multitudes, still we have the renowned "feats of arms," (aye; and of legs, too !) in out more peaceful contests, now-a-days. If we have not our knights of the White Feather, or knights of the Sable Plume, as in the days of the seven champions, we have still as mighty champions in another line, and who, instead of ar mour, encase themselves in leather, who carry for their weapons, not lances, but cricket bats, and who perform deeds as incredible and astonishing as the valorous heroes of old l" Such were the thoughts, expressed aloud, of a romantic friend of ours, whom we found wending • his way to the Prince's-park, at an early hour yesterday forenoon; but as they were, doubtless, not intended for the public ear, we forbear to mention his name. However, as Sairey Gamp, or Betsey Prig, or some other worthy female, whom we cannot call to mind just at present, used to say—" Them's our sentiments, all over," and expressed so much more poetically than we could have done it ourselves, that we immediately took notes of them as they fell from the speaker's lips, and here present the rapsody in full, for our readers' benefit. The cause of our friend's journey, and, very probably, also of his ejacu lation, was that eleven cricketers of All England were going to try their skill in this matchless game against double that number selected from the clubs of Liver pool, including two professional bowlers given from those who are known as All England-m en' to aid the Liverpudlians in their contest against the picked Inert of the country. It is now about four years since the All England-men visited this town, on which occasion the whole of the necessarily great expense attending their coming had to he borne by the " Liverpool Club" alone. It happened to be wet weather on the days selected for playing,—the attendance was scanty, and the match had to be left unfinished, which so disheartened the lovers of cricket here, that there was not sufficient spirit left among them to raise fundsenough to bring " theeleven" here again —at least, forsome time after. Since then, however, cricket has progressed more rapidly in this part of the country; LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT. many new clubs have been 'formed, the members have became more proficient players of the game year another attempt to get up a similar match was made systematic arrangements were entered into, general sub scriptions collected, and, as a natural consequence, the desired object has been Iltchieved with every mark of success. The days appointed for the match to be played upon were, the 24th, 25th, and 26th of this month, of which yesterday (Monday) was the first. The ground chosen was that occupied by the Olympus Club, in the Prince's Park, and the Liverpool players were selected principally from that club and two others— the Roscoe and the Liver. Their names appear in the return of the score, which will be found below; and we may here mention, that the two professional men given in were Messrs. A. Crossland and John Berry, who l a a m r o e bs , itt s p, e c t r u i Thecrieksecit e ug r e s , u w s nc o ed u n l ei d sr y situate saoyf, ‘‘ t. hTaimsw among n gn lads eis aohm t b l eo i aut ofr hood, b o o toi w dl and is the same spot on which the Great Fancy Fair was held two or three years ago. Yesterday, the weather was beautifully fine, and the place being ornamented with flags, marquees, &c., it presented quite as attractive a scent% as on that occasion, ever memorable in the annals which record the destruction of ladies' silk dresses. The match was under the patronage of our worthy mayor, Thomas Liittledale, Esq., and the parlia mentary members of the borough. The fineness of the weather, and the interest which the game excited, attracted upwards of two thousand spectators, fully one half of whom were of the fair sex, and we noticed numerous pretty damsels who watched with anxious hopes and fears the exploits of their loving swains in the eyes of that little world. For the accommodation of all these people there were suitable platforms erected, a small charge for admission being made to help to defray the expenses. And, as mortals cannot exist upon air, tents were pitched in which refreshments might be purchased. That nothing should be wanting, the aid of sweet melody was called that° lend a charm to theproceed ings, in the persons of the renowned Peter Stubbs and his Royal Harmonic Band. Immortal Peter! His fame must be as boundless as the universe, and far more transcendent than that of the celebrated musicians who charmed with their dulcet strains the willing ear of that lord of merri ment, " Old King Cole." If our townsmen win, we shall certainly impute it in a great measure to the enlivening strains of that unapproachable band ! But now to our account of the first day's play. About eleven o'clock the proceedings commenced by the Liverpool side taking the first innings, Crossland and Fairclough occupying the wickets. After Cross' md had scored a single run, he was unfortunately " run out," and had to retire. His place was taken by Mather, who made 2, and had the ill luck to receive " one for his nob" in the shape not of " a flea," but a ball " in his ear," from Brickley's bowling, which proved so serious a hurt that he could not continue in the game. This was the only thing during the day to mar the pleasure of those present, and was to be regretted, as Mr. Mather is consi dered a very fair local player. Fairclough left his wicket for a score of 5, having been overcome by the " slow" bowling of " the veteran," Clarke, which was very destructive throughout the innings. Robertson, one of the first" bats" of the Olympus, was unfortunately run out, without having troubled to write down anything be yond his name. Berry, who was at the other wicket, made a splendid leg hit, for which he obtained 4, and ran up a score of 18 before his career was terminated by Felix, who caught him out from Bickley's bowling. Swann, who took Robertson's place, was " displaced," without having added anything to the score, by the " slow" man. Clare, of the Olympus, followed, and was in for two hours and a half, in which time be displayed some excellent batting, without giving his opponents a chance to oust him, until he was at last tempted out of his ground to meet one of Clarke's " easy-going" balls, when, having " raised his arm," that sharpest of all sharp wicket keepers, Box, felt himself in duty bound to " stump" him out, as a warning for the future, which he accordingly did, but not before Clare had added 18 to the sum total of the innings, which, with the exception of Berry, who made the same number, was a larger score than any other obtained during the day. Ellis followed, and, after making 3, was caught at " point" by Parr, off Bickley's bowl ing. Kirkby went out for the same number, being bowled by Bickley. Collins followed, but his fate was soon sealed by a splendid ball from Bickley, who thus prevented him from troubling the scorers. Comber (engaged professionally by the Olympus Club this season, and much esteemed among his associates for his corteous behaviour and attention to his duties) came next, and managed by careful batting to score ten, being bowled by Clarke. Williams shared the same fate after making two. He was followed by Hooper, who scored four, and then had his wickets levelled by Bickley. After him came Lead, who did not prove to be very " weighty" metal after all, for he made but one, and then had to go out for putting a " leg," as well as a bat, " before wicket," to stop a ball from Bickley. Wilcox, who made two fine "off hits," for which he was loudly cheered, was put out by "the veteran," having made three. Tickle was caught at " point," not having troubled the scorers. Lewis made some good " leg hits" off the "slow" bowling, and had the misfortune to be run out, after making nine. Greig was put out for " leg before wicket," after making a single run. Killick was caught at " point," for " nothing at all." Martin made a " forward hit" from Clarke's bowling, for which he obtained three, and, after notching another, was caught by Clasen Houldsworth (a promi sing young player) had the misfortune to be "run out," after making three. The " last man" in was Knowles, who scored four, and the " sundries" comprised only a couple of " leg byes," which made the total of the first innings amount to 93—a very creditable score, The " All England" men then went in, Mynn and Caesar taking the wickets, to the bowling of Crossland and Comber. Julius Caesar (not the Roman Emperor, by-the bye) went out without notching any, after a pretty catch by Comber at " slip." He was followed by Caffyn, who, after scoring 15 in his usual effective style, was magnifi cently " caught" at " draw leg," from Comber's bowling, by Wilcox, who had to run a considerable distance for the ball. Caffyn's place was taken by G. Parr, (the England " Pet,") who, along with Mynn, was declared " not out," when the stumps were drawn. The latter has already scored 17, and the former has commenced his career with a " single" run. So the game at present stands, the " All England" having scored 33, with two wickets gone down. The result is therefore at present uncertain, and the bet ting has no very decided tendency on either side. At half-past two o'clock the game was stopped for a short time, when from forty to fifty sat down to a collation furnished by Mr. Peake, of Richmond-row. The rendes vouz of " The Eleven" is at the American Hotel, in Great George-street. As an evidence of the interest taken in the match by many persons who are un able to attend, we may state that there was quite a throng round the notice-board, which hangs outside Mr. George Richardson's shop in Lord-street, of persons anxious to obtain a peep at the cards which were posted there at intervals during the afternoon, showing the pro gress of the game. The play will be resumed at eleven o'clock, prompt, this day (Tuesday) ; and shohld the weather again prove propitious, no doubt a vast number will be in attendance. In conclusion, we may add, that the ground was said to be in excellent order by those who played upon it yes terday. 'IRST INNINGS . 0 . 18 . 0 . 18 YESTERDAY. POCKET PICKING.—Four persons were charged with at tempting to pick pockets in the neighbourhood of St. James's Market on Saturday last. Their movements were watched by Police-constable Russell, who apprehended them before they had succeeded in obtaining any booty. Their names were Joha Roberts, John Allen, John King, and John Clarke. Roberts, not being known to the police, was discharged ; the others, being old offenders, were sent to hard labour for three months. SHOPLIFTING. — Jane Robinson was brought before Mr. Mansfield, charged with breaking the windows of Miss Griffiths, in Scotland-place, and stealing from her shop several shawls. She was pursued by the shopman, and taken into custody. Committed for trial. GAMBLING.—John Brown was yesterday committed for fourteen days for gambling, and Thomas Sargeant was fined ss. and costs, for playing at pitch and toss on Sun day. SMUGGLING.—WiIIiam Todas was fined 10s. for having llb of foreign manufactured tobacco in his chest on the dock quay. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Saturday night, as Mr. James Wilcock was passing along Hall-lane, Edge-hill, he was accosted by a female named Ann Robinson, who thrust her hand into his pocket and attempted to rob him of its contents—(l9s. 6d.) He called out, and imme diately a man named Ellis came to her assistance, and knocked Mr. Wilcock down. They then made off, but the attention of a police-officer near being called to the circumstance, they were followed and apprehended. Yes terday they were brought up at the police-court and committed for trial. STEALING A WATCII,—James 111'Garry was brought up on a charge of stealing a watch belonging to William Gaskin, living in No. 2 Court, Crosshall-street. The door of the house had been left unlocked on Saturday night, and on the complainant getting up next morning, he found the prisoner in his father's bed-room. He also discovered his watch had been taken from his own bed room, and on giving him into custody, the prisoner gave up the watch to the constable. Committed for trial. ROBBING A CELLAR.—A young girl was charged with stealing a pair of boots and 6lbs. of flour from a cellar. Committed for one month. STEALING CLOTHES.—A foreigner named Charles de Rogan was charged with stealing ss. and some clothes belonging to three sailors at present in port. The com plainants were also foreigners. On the person of the Prisoner was found a pair of drawers and a pair of trowsers belonging to one of the sailors, and also some money. Committed for twenty-one days. HISTORIC SOCIETY.—The council of this society have resolved to hold another day meeting, on the 10th of June, at which the country members and ladies may be able to attend. It will be the last meeting of the session, and two or three interesting papers will be read. EFFECT OF DRUNKENNESS.—On Sunday morning, a young child, daughter of Ellen Parry, who resides in a Cellar in Prince William-street, Park, was found dead in bed, having been overlain by its mother, who was drunk. An inquest will be held on the body this day. A GENTLEMAN IN WORCESTER, signing himself Woof, is a descendant of the family of Wolf, who assisted in the escape of Charles 11. He still claims the arms and aug mentation granted by the merry monarch, indentical with those engraved on the tankerd now in the possession of Mr. Wm. Rathbone. A RADICAL'S OPINION OF FREE TRADE.—In the Bankruptcy Court, yesterday, Mr. John Yates, jun., appeared as solicitor for a bankrupt named Hull, and in reply to Mr. Simon, who urged the small amount of assets, amongst other matters, against the bankrupt passing his examination, Mr. Yates said—" The trade of a miller has for the last eighteen months been all but ruined by the introduction of foreign corn." THE GREAT EXHIBITION. — The Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 have just presented their first report to the Home Secretary. The balance in hand on the 29th of February, invested in Exchequer bills, and to the credit of the Commissioners at the Bank of England and the bank of Messrs. Coutts, amounted to £213,305, but there are expenses to be paid out of it. They are unable to say what the actual surplus of the Exhibition funds will be until after all the liabilities have been discharged, and the accounts finally wound up ; " but they have no reason to suppose that the net surplus will be less than the sum estimated by them in their report to her Majesty of the 6th November last, viz., £150,000." LtIMLEY v. WAGNER.—In the Court of Chancery, on Saturday, Mr. Bethell, on behalf of the defendant, Mad'lle Johanna Wagner, applied to his lordship that the order for an injunction, granted by Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Parker. restraining her from performing or singing at the Royal Italian Opera-house, Covent-garden, or elsewhere, without the permission of the plaintiff, (Mr. Lumley,) might he discharged, The whole of the day was occupied in hearing the case, and at its rising the court was ad journed to Wednesday ; but the nature of the decision may be inferred from the following observation of the Lord Chancellor: I can only come to the conclusion that the evidence is the strongest or. the part of the plaintiff. This is very evident, that the parties have been swearing against each other in the most wilful manner; one side or the other must have committed perjury, and I must en deavour to find out the truth as well as I can. It appears to me that the Wagners were endeavouring to get rid of the contract for the sake of entering into a better engagement.
