CRICKET.-(THIS DAY.)

LORD'S GROUND.

MARTLEBONE CLUB AND UROUND V. CHELTENHAM COLLEGE.

This, another of the series of matches pro-
moted by the M.C.C. for the purpose of developing the
amateur cricket talent of the youth training in our public
schools, commenced this day at Lord's Ground at 12
o'clock. The college won the toss, the weather
being fine but dull, and the company tolerably numerous,
considering the counter attraction at Islington. At
1 o'clock the score stood thus :

CHELTENIIA M.—First innings.

ISLINGTON.
lIIDOLVILI T. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.

This morning, at seven minutes past 12, the
weather being similar to that of the previous day, and
company again numerous, play in this match was resumed.
Last night, when time was called, Nottinghamshire had
lost four wickets for 95 runs, Daft being not out with 14,
and Paling, not out, 12. To-day they again occupied the
wickets and Mr. R. D. Walker delivered the first ball to
Paling, who got a single off it. Mantle opened the
attack
,at the other end, and very well he
bowled. Paling hit Mr. R. 1). Walker heavily,
beginning with a very fine off drive for 5, sub-
sequently he was let off three times, viz., at point, deep
mid-off, and aftewards escaping a run out. He then drove
Mantle for 4. Daft acted mainly on the defensive, and
together the pair raised the score to 121, when Paling in an
attempt to drive a ball of Mr. R. D. Walker, got under it
and it fell into the hands of Mr. V. E. Walker at point.
This young player's 26 was a useful contribution, and was
made by some very fair hitting. Grundy followed, and
runs came steadily, the pace of one per minute not being
maintained. At 1 o'clock the score stood thus :

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—III connexion

with the approaching meeting of this society at Bury St.
Edmund's, it may be stated that convenient arrangements
have been made by the Great Eastern Railway Company.
The accommodation for the goods tragic is nearly com-
pleted, and is of a vary ample character. A platform, 300
feet in length, has been constructed in the immediate
neighbourhood of the show-yard, and close by are four
sidings of considerable length, extending eastwards. A
carriage dock has also been made for the unloading of ma-
chines, which will travel thence to the show-yard on their
own wheels. The company will commence the delivery of
goods on the Let of July, and nearly everything will be on
the ground by the 9th of July. The entire arrangements
of the show-ground have beendevieed by Mr. Hunt, of Eve-
sham, Worcestershire, the society's surveyor. The con-
tractor (Mr. Penny, of Taunton) has employed upwards of
700 loads of timber in the construction of the shedding.
The show-Geld is about 40 scree in extent. Mr. Brandreth
Gibbs, to whom the general arrangements of the show are
entrusted, has visited Bury St. Edmund's this week, and
in company with Mr. Hunt bas minutely inspected the
works on hand.

Br. PAUL'S ficaooL.—The old Pauline dinner
will be held on Tuesday, the 2nd of July, at Willis'.
Rooms, Bt. James's, at 6.30 p.m., when the chair will be
taken by Mr. J. G. Arnold, the well•known Westminster
police magistrate.
THE ARCHDUCHESS MATHILDR.—The grievous
death of the Archduchess Mathilde has produced a pro-
found impression in Vienna. The medical journals give
the following details :—The great revive caused by the
burns, and the consequent destruction of large surfaces
of the body, produced mental exhaustion. In her last
days the patient was constantly in a bath, which
contributed !neatly to lessen her VircZUL Yes.
terday morning, at 5 o'clock, the e Albert
approached the patient, who addressed her father
in these words in a voice hardly intelligible : " How
are you? Have you slept well?" The father, bowed
down with grief, replied only by addressing the same
question to his daughter. She said, " I have been
very quiet all night, and feel myself very weak."
A moment after she gave a deep ugh and
breathed her last. Dr. Schmeriing was the only
witness of this moving scene. The countenance of the
princess was in no way changed by death, sad bore no
marks of the agony of the struggle ; it retained its love-
liness—no burn had disfigured it. In themorniag Dr.
Rokitsnaky performed the autopsy, and embalmed the
body. The two arms presented extensive burns from the
shoulder to the elbow ; the left arm was almost completely
burnt ,• the back of the neck was only slightly burnt, but
from the back to the hip was one extensive wound. The
ankles were also burnt. The Archduchies Matbilde, a
beautiful blonde, was born on January 29, 1846.—Britisk
Medical Journal.

EXTRAORDINARY DEMONSTRATION AT ANTWERP.
—The late murder of N. Lenslet, station-master at Ant-
werp, and the suicide of the nun Schutz, by whom the
crime was committed, have given rise to • singular mani-
festation of feeliagameng the working classes of that city.
M. Lenglet appears to have been considered of • tyrannical
and unjust disposition towards the servants of the com-
pany under him, as be is accused of having procured
the dismiaml of Schutz, who bad lost an eye in the
discharge of his duties, and whose conduct Is said to
have been at all times regular. Great sympathy for
&shuts is consequently felt among the workmen of
Antwerp, who look upon him rather as • victim than a
murderer, and 3,000 of their number resolved to organise
• grand funeral ceremony on the occasion of his interment.
The mayor of Antwerp, to prevent this manifestation,
ordered the body to be buried secretly during the night,
and on the procession arriving the follmnng day with •
funeral car, the interment wee found to have already
taken place. The disappointment of the people was so
great that the police had considerable difaculty
_in pre-
venting a serious riot. In the sbeenee el the body, the
people covered the hearse in which it wee to be placed
