ENGLISH CRICKETERS IN PARIS.
(nod coos owa ooaaavoroar.)
PARIS, WIDINEDAY KVIII(11143.

Sir Robert Clifton's Nottingham cricketers have
beaten the Paris amateurs (all Englishmen) into
fits. The first match, played on Monday, was won
by the Nottingham men in one innings. Paris went
in first and scored only 21. Nottingham then
seared 175. Heavy beta bad been made that Paris
in its second innings would not get "more" than
30 runs ; and singularly enough 30 was the exact
score. The three last wickets were bowled down
without a single run. Yesterday was devoted to
practising. To-day the return match was played.
When I left the ground at 4 o'clock Paris had ob-
tained 24 runs in a drat inning*, and Nottingham
had scored 80, with only three wickets down.
Mr. Hoyle, who was not out, bad made 38
off his own bat. There can, therefore, not be the
slightest doubt as to the result of this day's play-
ing. The Paris Club take. its beating with perfect
good-humour, and is delighted to try its strength
with such worthy representatives of the old English
game as the Nottingham eleven are. One of the
beet players on the Paris side is Sir Henry Brom-
ley, who, although • welter weight, is particularly
active in the field and bats welL The ground is •
pretty lawn surrounded with copse wood, in that
part of the Bois de Boulogne known by the name
of Madrid. A great deal of rolling and watering,
and other painstaking, would be required
to make it • good ground. The soil is
naturally hard at all times, and particularly so in
this dry weather. A disadvantage for the Notting-
ham men is that by agreement every ball that goes
into the bruahwood, which is 'rather too near,
counts for orly two runs, whereas it is certain
that in a sufficiently large field they would fre_
quently get three and four runs against the Paris
bowling. An ornament to the ground to-day was
a very fat umpire, a rare specimen of a John
Bull, who I understand to be Mr. Ridding,
the keeper of the Trent-bridge Ground at
Nottingham. The utmost good feeling pre-
veils between the Paris cricketers and
their younger and more practised opponents. The
Nottingham men, for the most part, T believe,
artisans of the town, do great credit to their coun-
try both in appearance and conduct. They dine
every day under the auspices of Sir R. J. Clifton,
at Hill's English Tavern, on the Boulevard des
Capucines, where their wiry, agile, graceful forms,
white flannel jackets, and military-looking cape
bound with rose-coloured riband, excite no small
amount of curiosity. Nothing could be more quiet,
orderly, and dignified than their demeanour in the
midst of a capital so full of temptation, and con-
taining so much to turn the bead of a stranger un-
used to travel. I look upon their visit as a very
great event, and have no doubt that it is the pre-
cursor of many more friendly matches of the same
kind. Owing to some misunderstanding sufficient
publicity was not given to the match, and in con-
sequence the number of spectators was very
small.

The Bourse does not recover. Rents was weaker
than yesterday, and fell 15c. for account. Mobi-
lise fell 12fr. 50c.

All the reports state that when the wretched
man Le Pommerais was condemned to death he
raised his hand in the attitude used in the French
form of taking an oath, and said, " I swear I am
innocent." The Moniker adds that he left
the dock with a look of rage. A curious
question will now arise with the insurance
offices. The verdict obviously does not affect the
right of Madame Pauw's children to claim as
heirs of their mother. She bad, it may be
assumed, fraudulent views, when she allowed the
insurance to be effected, but her fraud did not
contemplate her own death by poison. It is by no
means clear that the policies are vitiated in regard
to her representatives, because she intended to
simulate illness, in order that they might be
cancelled in consideration of a life annuity. It
will be a strange thing if the neglected children of
this poor woman shall now, by reason of a crime,
come into the large fortune of 22,0001.

SUICIDE IN dntore.—A highly interesting paper
was received a few days ago by the AoarNmis de Medecine
from M. Legoyt, Director of the Office of Statistics of
France, on the number of suicides in Europe. From this
laborious work it appears that suicides increase is a more
rapid ratio than the population and mortality is general
in Bavaria, Denmark, France, Hanover, Mecklenburg,
Prussia, the kingdom of Saxony, and Sweden.
Suicides are most frequent is Northern Germany and
in the various parts of Denmark. Sweden and Norway,
though belonging to the same race, are proportionally
inferior to Denmark in that respect. Oontrary to a gene-
rally adopted opinion, England stands Dearly at the bottom
of the scale ; and so do Belgium, Austria, and Spain.
Fumes holds an intermediate position ; she would reek
with the three last-named oceetries„ were it possible to
eliminate the suicides of Paris, which are one-seventh of
the total number in France. Generally, for every 100
suicides or men there are from 29 to 10 of women. The
number of suicides increases with the age of individuals, at
least until the age of 60. The number of suicides is gene-
rally lowest in Jensen. and highest in July. As
to the causes, iosanity and physical suffering are
about as active in producing suicide among men as among
women ; as to the rest, the latter yield more to grief moa-
t sicced by moral causes than men, who are chisdy affected
by material afilictioo, such as loss of property. bankruptcy.
he. Drunkenness and debauchery only form an insigoifi-
coot item among the causes impelling women to suicide.
In Denmark, Spain. and Saxony, the only countries when
it has bees possible to obtain reliable information on the sub-
ject, married people are least subject to commit suicide, sod
widowers on the contrary are most liable to it; but suicides
occur most frequently among married people that have been
divorced or separated. In Prime' in the course of two
years, there were 153 suicide' of protestants per million, 51
of lerosilitee, and only 47 of catholic., per minims of each,
Suicides are much more numerous in capital cities than is
the country. The general result of all these investigations
shows a universal sod rapid increase of suicides. The
author is of opinion that the is attributable to unlimited
competition, to the immoderate thirst after wealth, to the
progress of public instruction which excites ambition, to
political agitation, and to speculation.

' DEATH or SIR A. MURRAY TULLOCH, 8.C.8.
' —We have to record the death of Sir Alexander Murray
Tsilech, K.C.R, who died on Monday morning after a short
illness. The gallant caber only left town this day week to
see a newly purchased property in Doruetahire. The Dews
• of his death yesterday morning at the War Department oe-
„ mimed much regret among the. persons with whom he
was associated in official matters. The late Sir Alexander
Talloch was educated at Edinburgh, and afterwards went
I to the Military College et Sandhurst, where be obtained the
highest honours in the senior department of that military
' seminary. He entered the army as ensign in the 45th rep-
meat in 1826. The late general occupied anent
important administrative offices in the War De-
' partineet. For some time be was in eharge
of the statistical breech of the War-offiee, and
was latterly Assistant Military Superintendent of Pen-
timers. He obtained the honour of a Keight Commander
of the Bath for hes civil services as Commerioser, in con-
junction with Sir Jobe M'Nedl, C.C.S., in the inquiry
sent oat to the Crimea by the government in 1855. on the
management of the British army during the campaign in
I the Eat. The care and diligence in drawing up the joint
, report is generally isonaidered due to the discretion of Sir
Alex. Tulloch ; and, as was afterwards declared in puha,
main, " he was a faithful exposer of the errors which then
brought our military orimaketion into disrepute." 1
LICT-NuED VILITALLNRS' ASYLIT3I.—The thirty-
' sixth anniversary (ultra of the subscribers to this testi-
sution was held at the Crystal Palace yesterday, when moms
, three or four hundred members of the society dined toge-
ther. Mr. Hedworth Barclay, of the firm of Barclay, Per-
kins, and Co., presided. From a printed address of the
' committee it appears that the large addition to the asylum,
which has been for some time in progress, is now completed,
sod that the thirties houses which constitute the addit,on
and make up a total of 160 separate habitations upon
the asylum grounds, have been supplied with occu-
pants. The chairman addressed the meeting at some
length, advocating the claims of the society, sod at that
' dem of hie speech Mr. Thomas Jones, the secretary, read
' a list of subscription., which included 2101. from the firm of
Barclay and Co., 6561. Is. from individual members of the
firm, and 5234 from Mr. Kemplay. Mr. Locke, the mem-
ber for Southwark, in responding to the taut of the House
of Commons, congratulated the assemblage on the sum-
mary, disposal of Mr. Semen's bill for dosing public-brews
' oe Sundays by ref magi' to grant him leave to bring it in,
and stated that he had himself voted against its Weeds°.
' tiou, an annourkemeet which we hardly need my was
loudly cheered. Mr. Kemplay, Mr. Stanton, Mr. Oran;
and several other gentlemen, also addreAsed the meeting in
support of the °ejecta of the institution.
THE MARS IN WORKHOUB/13.—The committee of
the Protestant Allianos have sent to all the curious is the
kingdom a paper (No. LXVL) entitled "Tile Boarish
Pried, and the Main is the Workhouse." Tbey state that
the Weet committee of the House of Commerce, originally
appointed in 1861 to inquire into the administration of the
laws for the relief of the poor, ix about to make its report.
Among other matters, the committee will, it is believed,
reounmeed the appointment of Boorish priests as chap-
lains, sod the celebration of maim in union workhouses.
The proposal, if adopted, would produce much evil and in-
volve a large annual expenditure, and Merriam very
seriously the burdens on ratepayers, and, at the same time,
the guardians would have no control over the persons ap-
pointed, nor eves the right of appointing the priests. The
Alliance suggests a foes of a petition against the appoint-
ment of Roman catholic chaplains and the celebration of the
mare in uoiou workhouses. The subject was brought op ►at
the meeting of the guardians of the Wert London Union,
held on Tuesday, Mr. J. W. Butterworth moved the
adoption of the petition, which was seconded by Mr. Capel,
After some discussion the oonsideration of the question was
adj2urned.
THE PARTNERSHIP LAW AMENDMENT BILL.—A
special meeting of the members of the Birmingham Cham-
ber of Commerce was held on Tuesday evening for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the amendments intro-
duced into the Partnership Low Amendment Bill, Dow
before parliament. The attendance was small, there Dot
being more than fourteen or fifteen persons present. The
discussion which took place tamed chiefly on Mr. Baring's
amendment to clause 3, which provides that the
word " registered " shall be used to distinguish
limited liability partnerships. A ribeidoticst was
moved to the effect that Mr. Sebolefield be re-
quested to make every possible effort to have the
• ameodment " on clause 3 reversed, and in the event of
hie exertions proving fruitless, that he be desired not to
proceed with the bill. This resolution, and an amendment
upon it., were both negatived, and ultimately the following ,
was adopted :—" That notwithstanding the provision of the
addition of the word "registered" to the name of the firm
in clause 3, this chamber respectfully recommends Mr.
Scholeheld to proceed with the bill." In a letter read from
the hoc. gentleman, be said he was not without hope
of being able to induce the government to bring in a
bill of their own on this subject.
