CRICEET.-(THIS DAY.)

V. PLAYERS.

It was a quarter past twelve this morning when the
field was set, and the first pair of gentlemen took their
places at the wickets, opposed to the bowling of the
ground men. Wootton and Grundy. The gentlemen had
what on ordinarily good wickets would have been an easy
task, viz., 54 runs to win the match, but so fine
was the bowling, aided by the ground, that it
was Vmost difficult to combat and getting the
balls away was out of the question. Wootton began the
bowling from the Pavilion end, and, with the first ball of
his second over, he bowled down Mr. J. D. Watkin's leg
stump, with a shooter. This let in Mr. Lubbock, who
appeared in fine form. He soon lost his companion, who
played one of Wootton's on to his wicket. Gnindy's bowling
was first-class ; he began with five maidens, and delivered
eight oven for four runs. Mr. Lubbock's finest item
was a single, then an on drive for 2, and
then a fine of drive from Wootton for 3. Mr. Grace's
first hit was for • single to square leg, an over or two after
he got bold of one of Wootton's to leg, which be sent to
the Tennis Court for 3. Messrs. Lubbock and Grace now
got hold, and it was nearly 1 o'clock when 20 were tele-
graphed. Hume got • well-merited cheer for a fine bit of
fielding at point. The cricket displayed this morning was
of a very high order. At I o'clock, when our despatch
left Lord's Ground, the score stood as under:

THE REPRESENTATION OF FINSBURY. Last
evening a meeting was held on Clerkenwell.green " to de-
mand adequate representation " for the borough of Fins-
bury ; Mr. J. Coffey in the chair. There was a pretty
good attendance, the majority of those present being mem.
hers of the local branches of the Reform League. The
borough members had been invited to attend, but they
were unable to take part in the proceedings owing to the
pressure of their parliamentary duties. Mr. Torrens,
M.P., in a letter apologising for his absence, said he fully
concurred in the justice of the demand for increased re-
presentation of the metropolis, and he should have urged
arguments in favour of it upon the attention of the House
of Commons, but from the feeling that during the present
session it would be useless to do so, and that his first duty
was to abstain from everything that might risk by delay
or otherwise the passing of the Reform Bill. He believed
that with the attainment of household suffrage all else
that was right and just would become attainable. The
chairman said that the lodger franchise would increase
the electors of the borough from 2i,000 to double that
number, and it was therefore necessary th►t they should
have further representation. If they did not get addi-
tional members, he did not see the use of an in-
crease in the constituency. Some of the large provincial
cities would get increased representation, and he wished
to know on what principle London, with rateable property
immensely greater than that of all those places together,
was denied the same advantage. Mr. Upshall moved the '
first resolution, which was to the effect, "That owing to
the inadequate representation granted by parliament to
the borough of Finsbury, being a disgrace and an insult to
its labouring population, it was the intention at the
earliest opportunity of the constituents to put forward
candidates as additional members for the borough, those
candidates being taken from the ranks of the working
men." The resolution was carried unanimously. The fol-
lowing resolution was also carried :—" That in the opi-
nion of this meeting of the linen of Finsbury the Reform
Bill now before the House of Commons is thoroughly
inadequate to the political requirements of the people of
England, notwithstanding that many importing additions
have been made to it in consequence of the demands made
by the people, and the sincerity and energy of such
liberal members of parliament as Mr. Gladstone, Mr.
Bright, and Mr. Mill. We, therefore, once more pledge
ourselves never to cease agitation in behalf of political
enfranchisement until the whole manhood of the nation
is equitably represented in the House of Commons."
THE ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION OF MAN-
PHENTER.—The Trades Unionist Political Association and
the council of the Reform League met in Manchester on
Saturday afternoon, to consider the course of action in
view of the Reform Bill becoming law. Amongst the re-
solutions accepted was one recommending the adoption of
such arrangements as would ensure the enrolment of
working men in the lists of voters throughout Lancashire
and Yorkshire, and by another, passed unanimously, Mr.
Ernest Jones was selected "as the most fitting man to
represent the city of Manchester as its third member in
the House of Commons."—Mandieske Exastiaer.

THE SHEFFIELD OCTRAGEE. —A monster meet-
ing of the working men of Sheffield was held in Paradise-
square, Sheffield, yesterday evening, for the purpose of
expressing indignation at numerous trade outrages which
have been the subject of inquiry by the commission.
Addresses were delivered by the Rev. R. StAinton and
other gentlemen, by whom the following resolution was
drawn up :—" That this meeting of thousands of the
working men of Sheffield most emphatically declares that
it views with the deepest shame and abhorrence the
systematic crimes which have disgraced the trades of the
town ; yet it rejoices that the source of the evil has now
be n unequivocably revealed ; and it earnestly calls upon
all members of trades unions so to watch the management
of their affairs and the use of their funds that the money
of honest men, contributed for lawful purposes, may never
again be perverted to the employment of assassins and in-
cendiaries, whose deeds are an outrage to humanity."
