"DOLTS" OF ENGLAND.

This match for the testing of the cricket talent
of the " colts" of England (ea selected) against the Mande-
boos Club and Ground, was oommeaced yesterday at Lord's
Ground. At about a quarter•put 12 o'clock, just as "play"
was called, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, at-
tended by Colonel Teesdale, rode on to the ground, and was
received at the pavilion by some of the members of the
M.C.C., with whom he entered freely into conversation,
especially with Mr. Hope Grant. The attendance was very
thin at the time his royal highttem arrived, but he made
a stay of upwards of an hour, when numerous spectators
began to muster. Before his departure a cricket ball
of Mr. Dark's manufacture was presented to him, which
he was graciously pleased to accept. Much pales laud
evidently been bestowed on the ground to oWiin good
wicket., and they proved to be eo. The M.C.C. went
in fret, but so great merge were made, the total being He
On the part of the "Colts" there was a "rot" throughout,

among his hits were live threes and three twos. The
"Cole" pulled well together this time; the bowling of
Rawlinson and Smith (Nottingham) was really good through-
out, and was much awhinded. Ausoombe showed he could
keep wicket well, and the general outteldisg was good, in-

LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 2

FRANCE is not dead after all. Paris has not
been bribed to silence or lulled to sleep. En-
couraged by the frequent promises of the EXPKILOR,
the electors of the French capital have resolved to
enter bodily the edifice which he has undertaken
one day to crown with liberty. The voting yes-
terday and on Sunday was almost universal, and
the result is the return of independent members
of sufficient importance in numbers and talent
to make the Corps Ligislatif something like a
real Parliament. It was, perhaps, a small
thing that M. TRIRRB should defeat M.
DEVINCR in the second arrondissement, but M. Ds
Paasioirr, by his injudicious Circulars, gives his
triumph the air of a victory of the House of
Canaan" over that of the BONAPARTIZI. We do
not think the electors meant this, but the EYPEROIL
will now probably see the necessity of controlling
the political action of his too zealous servant. In
the third arrondissement the eloquent M. Erma
Ousvica received nearly twice as many votes, and
in the fourth arrondissement M. PICARD more than
twice as many votes as the Government candidate.
It was in the fifth arrondissement, however, that
the opposition candidates achieved their greatest
success, M. Juan FAVRE having gained 18,000,
and the Government candidate only 8,000 votes.
If the ENSIIROR is the wise politician that many
believe him to be, he will be able to draw advan-
tages from the readiness which the French
liberals have thus shown to accept his institutions,
and make the best of them.

Tns discussion raised by Lord F.BUIVB motion
in the House of Lords respecting the indiscrimi-
nate use of the Burial Service of the Church of
Eastland proved of unexpected importance. The
House entertained the subject under a proper sense
of its own responsibilities, a considerable number of
Peers of weight took part in the debate, the Bishops
gave their opinions freely, and the end was that
the Archbishop of CANTERBURY undertook, in the
name of his brethren, to prepare a mode of dealinu
with the question. The matter was presented to
the Hones as a practical grievance of the
clergy, though in reality it concerns everybody
who desires to see religion maintained in
honour. It often happens that the minister
of a parish is called upon to bury the body
of a person who has lived and died in scandalous
immorality. As the Church, however, is practi-
cally without discipline, in ninety-nine cams out of
a hundred it happens that such a person is not
excommunicated, and the law will hold that be
died in the communion of the Church. It is,
therefore, the duty of the clergyman to bury him,
if required to do so, with words which express the
strongest assurance of his blessedness in another
state of existence. This state of the law often
places a minister in • situation of what we must
call great hardship. It is his daily business
to teach that this life is a prepara-
tion for an everlasting existence, and he may
have at any moment to appear at a grave and in
effect declare to hearers in a most susceptible state
of mind that the man of gross and unclean life
and he who tears GOD will rise alike to everlasting
happiness. There is something very wrong here.
Thousands of the clergy, many of them men
of distinction, have petitioned to be relieved of
this obligation, which is so oppressive that the
Archbishop of CANTRESURY was induced to say
last night in his place in Parliament that he would
brave any penalties of the law rather than read
the appointed service over • person who had died
in wilful and cherished sin. This strong de-
claration appears to have somewhat shocked the
LORD CHANCBLLON rightly jes/ous for the honour of
the law. If we were disposed to mete to the Most
Reverend Prelate with the measure which he and
his right reverend brethren use to some others, we
might represent the obligation of the clergy aa simply
one of contract, and call on them in the name of
common honesty to fulfil their bargain by obeying
the law as it stands. But in this case the essen-
tial immorality of such an appeal would be appa-
rent. Far from reproaching the Archbishop with
his warmth, we believe that moat persons will be
of opinion that it is very honourable, and well be-
coming his sacred character.

But then it must be confessed that the appli.
cation of • remedy is a work of much difficulty.
Various euggestions have been made, some of
which would be attended with inconveniences
greater than the existing eviL Such we may
safely my would be the course recommended
by the Bishop of LLANDA7F, who thinks that
the difficulty might be met by prefixing an expla-
nation to the service, Mating that its language is
not used with an individual application. This
would be making matters much worse. There
Ale already too many explanations and non-
