LORDS GROUND.
MITMLIMEX V. ENGLAND.

The weather wan again brilliant this morning,
and there were several hundred spectators present, when
the bell rang for the resumption of play in this great
match at Lord'sground. When the stumps were drawn last
evening at 7 o'clock, Middlesex had lost six of their
best wickets for sixty-two runs—Mr. Daniel being
not out one. lie was now mated by Mr. V. E. Walker,
but their partnership was of short duration, as the l►tter
forgot his allegiance, and of coarse Biddulph stumped him.
This made 7 wickets for 70runs. Mantle was the next in,
and began merrily by • rather lofty on drive for 4 off
Mr. Grace, then a fine leg hit for 4, hand up against the
scorer's box, and then Mr. Grace retaliated by bowling him
clean (8 for S 5). Mr. Thomas now joined Mr. Daniel who was
playing well, and when the score bad been elevated to 96, he
was caught very easily indeed by G ready at slip,after making
21 in good form. The young left-handed Middlesex pro-
fessional came last, and after Mr. Daniel bad steered one
of Wootton's to the timber-stacks for four, and he had
made a single to short leg, Wootton sent down a good one.
which carried away his leg stump, and thus the innings
terminated in a little over half an hour for 101 runs, Mid•
(Items being 160 runs in arrear, having to follow their
innings.

The next great sale of yearlings will take
place on Saturday at the East Acton Stud Farm, which
has been formed not for the purpose of breeding blood
stock only, but slao is a depot for yearlings brought up
from the country to be disposed of by Messrs. Tattersall.

"Argos," of the Post, says that at the sale at
Middle-park on Saturday the Duke of Hamilton, the Mar-
quis of Hastings, and Mr. Chaplin were the largest pur-
chasers, and "the rapid exchange of shots across the ring
was the subject of much amusement and relieved the
strictly professional details of the sale." As a lot, the
yearlings were remarkable for their evenness, and "the
value of breeding from public performers was never more
strikingly exemplified."

The shootings of the competitive breech-loading
rifles at Woolwich have been completed, o far as those
eligible for the prizes are conoerned. Upwards of a hun-
dred guns have been submitted. The report of the sub-
committee of the Ordnsnoe Select Committee, it is ex-
pected, will be made in the course of this week. A
few more rifles, not eligible for the rewards, remain to be
fired.

ton between the 6th and 10th of this month laden with
butter and eggs from France.

News was brought by the Euxine, which arrived
at Southampton yesterday with the India mail, that the
cholera had broken out at Tunis.

Fifty thousand passengers annually travel by
sea between the Atlantic ports and San Francisco, and in •
single year 27,000 teams departed from two points only on
the Missouri on their westward journey.
CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS IN AMERICA. —The
strikes in Chicago and other western towns, following on
the attempt to enforce the Eight-hour Law, are likely to
bring the principle of co-operative labour to the test in
various new quarters. A firm known as "The North.
west Manufacturing Company" have resolved to open
up their undertaking to the associated enterprise
of a certain number of skilled workmen. The company,
heretofore, have employed about 140 men, upon a paid-up
capital of 50,000 dots. By the trade which this invest-
ment has built up, they reckon the good-will of their
concern to be now worth 50,000 dols. more.
The banner., as • starting point, is to be
valued at the gross sum of 100,000 dole.
Upon this the present proprietors propose to
charge, before sharing with their workmen,
and after paying taxes of every kind, and for insurance,
bank accommodation, be., interest at the rate of ten per
cent. • year. After this allotment of receipts has been
made, the workmen, at the end of twelve months from the
date of their signing the articles of association, are to share
the balance equally with the proprietors. It is tube optional
with the men after the first division of profits to invest their
shares in the company. Independent of what may accrue to
them in the shape of dividends, the workmen are to be paid
fair wages, computing ten hours as the working day. For
extra work on week days, fifty per cent. more than the
ordinary rates is to be paid ; for Sunday work, one hundred
per cent. more. Already • large number of those em-
ployed in the company's works have signed the arti-
cles of association ; and the enterprise, on its new foot-
ing, will shortly be put to a.practical ten.
BAPTISMS AT THE EAST BNI>.-011Whit Sunday the
large number of 148 baptisms took place at Christ Church,
Watney.street, St. George's East. The district which
contains • population of 13,145 persons, nearly all of the
working classes, having been carefully visited under the
superintendence at the incumbent, the Rev. G. IL
M'Gill, was found to comprise within its limits 393 un-
baptised children. Of these the following were admitted
into the church on Sunday last :—lnfants urder 1 year—
males, 24 ; females, 25. Between 1 and 5 years—males,
:in ; females, 26. Between 5 and 14 years—males. 12 ;
females, 20. Over 14 years—males, 2; females, 3. During
the last 10 years 4,535 individuals have been baptised at
Christ Church, giving an average, somewhat exceeding
that of the birth rate of 453 per annum.
DROWNED WHILE BATHING.—A painful excite-
, went was occasioned in Newbury yesterday by the death
by drowning of a most respectable young man, named
Rolfe, shopman at the drapery eetablishment of Messrs.
Rodman and Jones, Northbrook-street. It seems that he
had intended leaving Newbury by the first train yesterday
morning to visit his relatives, and rose earlier than usual
for the purpose of bathing in the river Kennett, • short
distance from the town. He did not return, however,
when expected, and soon afterwards his lifelessbody was
discovered in the stream.
THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN LlVERPOOL.—Yeaterday
at the Liverpool police court several butchers were fined
10s. and costs each for not having complied with the order
of the Privy Council, which directed all cattle landed in
Liverpool to be slaughtered within four days after their
arrival. Mr. Spinks, one of the largest butchers in the
shipping trade in Liverpool, maid that when he purchased
his beasts he expected to have them slaughtered within
the required time. At present the orders came in slowly,
and he could not comply with the regulation. None of
the animals were disordered, and he might just as well
have driven them into the river as to have slaughtered
them in such hot weather, and he thought it better to
submit to the payment of a moderate fine than to run the
risk of • greater loss. It transpired during the proceed-
ings that the authorities in London had refused to cancel
the order. In reference to the alleged case of rinderpest
in lJllet Lane, four miles from the Liverpool Cattle
Market, there appears to be most conclusive evidence to
prove that the cow stated to have been attacked with the
plague was only affected with the simple milk fever.
THE NEW INSPECTOR OF OYSTER FISHERIES.—
Mr. Cholmondeley Pennell has been appointed inspector in
the first cases that have occurred of applications for several
fisheries under the " Oyster and Mussel Fisheries Act,
1866." By this act, as our readers are aware, powers are
given to the Board of Trade to appropriate, subject to
confirmation by parliament, portions of the foreshore and
bed of the sea round the coasts of &gland and Svitland
for the creation of private oyster-beds, and the encou-
ragement of fishery enterprise in this direction. The
powers thus given are exceedingly large, and if adminis-
tered judiciously are capable of effecting a Tut improve-
ment in our present system of oyster-culture, and in the
market supplies of oysters throughout the country gene-
roily. Al] depende,however, upon judicious administration
and upon the energy and competence of the inspector, in
whose hands the practical working of the act must, to •
greet extent, rest. We are, therefore, very pleased, in the
interests of fishery progress , to see that the government
have made so sat actory an appointment to the office in
question. The new inspector has • large practical expe-
rience of the formation and working of oyster national,
having been, until recently, chairman of two oyster com-
panies, and director and oyster-mita:Let to • third ; and
he has also a literary reputation, which is a guarantee to
the public of the ability which he will bring to the dis-
charge of his arduous, and in some respects dedicate, duties.
Mr. Pennell is the son of Sr Henry Pennell, who has ju4t
been knighted for hia services in connexion with the man-
ning of the royal navy.—Ficid (Bth June.)
