gratin( V. St-ewe -Play In this peat county match was re-
loomed Yesterday, es the HnseswidtGround, Hove, near Brighton.
There was again a considerable fall of rain during the night and
in the early morning, but the warm sun and drying southwest
wind which succeeded soon got rid of the superfluous moisture,
and the wickets played well throughout the day. There was a
fair muster of spectators when play began, and in the afternoon
there was nearly a thousand winners present, including man
ladies. When "time" was called on Monday, gouty, or rather
Humphrey, had made 7 runs, and with Jupp was ' not out."
Accordtogly at an manes pest %vein they resumed their
Mates as the TooleKelve wickets, to repel the Week el the
bowlers, Southerton and young ILUlywhite. 7fe lest
ball of the lattees lest over Humphrey drove for 3, to the
onaide. Jupp also drove him to the off for 4. In Me
third over Humphrey made an of drive for 4. Southerlies
started with three maidens. At this rate It took but a abort
time to wipe off the balance. Humphrey was in very One hit-
tin Wm, and Jupp, as usual, careful. With the owe at 31,
ilia Id was called up to bowl at Lillywhite's end. Law 14
was again infringed. Humphrey cut Stubbereeld for 3, and
drove tioutherton down to the entrance gate for 6. Stubberfield
In his eighth over put down one which completely heat Hum-
phrey, bowling his of! stump. His 37 Included one five, two
fours, four threes, four twee, : a pretty good indication of the
fine hitting form In which he was. Griffith came unit, and the .
over was Southerton's, whose very first delivery placed Jupp
" hors de combat," sad thus the troublesome pair were got rid
of in two consecutive balls, to the peat delight of the " now
divieion." Jupp had made 12 only, but his defence was "as per
usual"-1 and 2 for 50. Mortlock and Griffith were the mew
allies, and the former began at once with an on drive
for 3 off Southern°, and then he " °ticked"
SoriLer-
ton for 2, Grifilth's Out item was an off drive
for 3. lentheetos bowled en over of his pecallars,
which bothered Mortlock amazingly, end off the first ball of
StribberOeld's next over theta wee caught by Millis* at raid-off
-from a bad tdt-3 for 68. Stephenson joined Mortlock, who
bit Southerton twice to long-on only, and then was cleats bowled
by Southerton with a bailer, after making 10. The Surrey wicket
keeper, who followed, was deepttched forthwith, with a "curly"
' one of Boutherton4-4 and 5 for e 3 ; and Mr. Noble OWN in, at
a time when Surrey's were anything but " my "-nye
wickets down, and on 38'• on." A " stand " was now made.
and "Inglis were for some time the "order," the exceptions
being a drive for s by Stephenson, and a leg hit
for 2 by 31r. Noble. After the latter had put on 4,
Southertoa took off his bails with a good one-6 for 75.
Mr. Collier was no more with Sostherton than were
his predecessors, but Stephenson " played" him better.
he made a brace of two. and a single off one over, and all on
the maids. With the score at 93 James LllVwhlte was rein-
stated, and put down an over of good once to Stephenson. At
tlir. Collyer was beaten by Ohall of Southertue's, which
it his middle-7 for 95. Sewell came next, and cracked
Southerton to the printing Win for 2, and then cut him for
ditto. Here dinner occurred, mid afterwards both batsmen
were busy as before. Sewell played a ball, lost his peniendi-
cane, and before he could recover Sills put down his wicket-
-3 for 111. Mr. Dowaon was nest in, and was linseed off Lilly-
white at point ; but before he had scored Sosithertou induced
him to forget his allegiance, and Ellis stumped him, Mr. Howson
having perfected the coveted honour of bagging a brace- 9 for
115. Street '• whipped is" the Surrey team, and "stacked"
Soutberion for 1. Lillywhlte here bowled el. overs for two nuts.
He finished up by bowling Street clean ; and thus, at exactly
four o'clock, the Seeley Innings collapsed for Me or 07 cm
Stephenson carried out his bat for U-en innings payed quite
In his old form. The Sussex fieldintjrhespocially that of Mr.
Smith at his usual place, mid-off, was I: commendable, sad
Eines wicket keeping was quite eq to that of his most
palmy days. The bowling was as follows :-Lillywhtte if oven,
16 maidens, for 27 runs and a widest; Suutherton. fit oven, 25
maidens, for th runs and six wickets; fitubberfield, 25 oven,
12 maidens, for II runs and two wicket'. Sussex began their
wend Innings at half-peat four, with Mr. smith and Charles
Payne, the latter taking the fink bell from GOMMh at the north
end. Throe runs were made of the ant over. Tire first note-
worthy hit was a three to leg by Mr. Sniith off Mortlock, and
Payne gut • two le the same dinsdku, and very soon 20 went up.
Of the slows there had been quantum sulficit, r, dl unsphrey had
a try at Moetleck's sod. but the last ball of the over Mr. Smith
cat tor three. Griffith bowled four meideus following, and off
the last ball of the fifth over Mr. Smith made an on drive for
two, bringing 30 on to the tablet. Humphrey also bowled well :
for example--miceoven foe Owruns. Mr. With *ex{ got
Humphrey to leg ice three, Par the tavern, and In his next over
placed • three well to the off. ,Applause.; At 39Grifeth changed
ends, and this time bowled slows, and Street went or at the
other wicket. The former bowled tight maidens of underhand
slows, so the Sussex batsmen did out get much change out of
him; but Street got punished. when 5o were up Sewell
began bowling, and the hitting continuing, sod Surrey being at
their wits' end, Stephenson had a try at 63, but both Sir. Smith
and Payne were in such umnistakably flue form that the Sur-
rey bowline was hit all over the plan. They continued to raise
the score till issi were posted, and then a Sussex cheer was heard.
Mr. Smith cut Stephenson very late for 3, and Payne drove
Sewell finely forward for 4, cioleleg the scorers to assume the
perpendicular. Mr. Smith then made the winning hit by dis-
pose.: of Stephenson's pest ball to short leg, which Me Noble
pocketed, cud thus at 13 minutes to S Sussex became the wie-
ners by ten wickets, Mr. smith being not out 44, awl Payne 52,
neither having give' a ghost of a chasm. The bowling was as
under :-Mortlock, 7 over, SI maidens, 9 ryas ; Griffith. 28 over%
17 maidens, 20 runs ; Sewell, 20 oven, 11 ma/delis, 511 runs
Humphrey. 11 oven, 6 maidens, 12 rums ; and stepheissoiL 15

nations. Mr. Cave assured the deputation (who
stated that they represented companies having up-

THE MI.J;DER AT WOOLVERTON. —Yesterday

the lgth inst. He was committed for trial at the next
assizes at Wells on the charge of wilful murder.
THE SUPPLY OF ICE.—An undertaking has been
entered upon to supply the towns in the south and centre
of France with ice from what may be termed thv immense
open quarries of that article which nature has plac.4 en
the sides of the Savoy Alps. The production in question
is as pure as that from the North American lakes, which.
as is known is exported even so far as to India. The
principal glaciers alluded to are those of the M.r de Glace
and of the Mesons. They descend to the level of the
valley of Chantounix, and are the most easily accessible of
any in the whole Alpine chain. The ice. transparent as
crystal, may be loaded at the foot of tl.e glacier, upon
vehicles drawn by oxen, and so conveyed to the Geneva
railway station—thanks to the road which the department
of the HautoSavoie, aided by imperial munificence, has
carried forward, since I StiO, from the baths of Mt. Gervais
as far as to Chamounix, and which enables travellers to
reach that valley by ommbua instead of the inconvenient
mode of being conveyed on the backs of mules. The Seder
Putdie of Lyons observes the promoters of this undertaking
ate not very strong in geography, since their aderrtiae-
lona% have the fol.owing words, ••• Old* du Mont Blanc,
Valais (Sulam)." The famous mountain just earned, that
journal observes, is situated on French tenitoty.
