THE OVAL.
SURREY AND 1508811 V. ENGLAND.

The weather this morning was • vast improvement upon
that of yesterday, although heavy clouds were looming
about. The wickets, after the soaking rain of last
night, were of necessity less lively than during
the Counties' innings. When the bell rang for
clearing the ground, at • quarter to 12, there were
as yesterday upwards of a thousand spectators present,
which number steadily increased throughout themorning.
Amongst the visitors yesterday was the venerable Dr.
Bottomley, of Croydon, who brought Lockyer into the
world on the Ist of November, 1828. Mr. Johnson, the
respected hon. secretary of the Nottingham County Club,
forwarded as a souvenir • 51. note to Lookyer,
yesterday morning. " Big Ben" had just druek twelve
when the umpire called play" Dr. Grace (not oat)
17, and Ricketts (not out) 4, resuming their places at
the respective wickets. The two Sussex men went
on with the bowling, Lillywhite commencing with
three maiden oven. When the score was advanced to 31
Southerton succeeded in destroying the symmetry of the
Lancastrian's wicket after he had added • couple of
singles to his overnight's score. Emmett, who is •
severe left-handed hitter, followed, and hit two
or three balls to leg, which were well fielded
by Charlwood ; after making three singles and a negatived
appeal as to • " stump out," made to John Lillywhite,
he was off Southerton's next ball caught cleverly
at the wicket-2 for 35. Mr. W. G. Grace now
joined his brother, and • batting treat was andel-
cipated by the spectators, but the fraternal union was
not • protracted one, for after Mr. W. G. Grace had
made a dozen by a three, three twos, Sic., James
Lillywhite sent him down a ball, which he touched,
and which, after striking the wicket-keeper, glanced
into Southerton's bands at slip-3 for 56. Tom
Hearne, who followed, was attended with his usual
1867 luck, and after playing • few balls was
finely stumped before be had made a run-4 for 57. Mr.
I. D. Walker was next in and out, he made • fine off-drive
from Southerton for two, who in the same over clean
bowled him-5 for 63. Dr. Grace's next partner was Mr.
V. E. Walker, and when our despatch left at 1 o'clock, the
score was as follows :

Lord and Lady Fitzwilliant, remarks a correspon-
dent of the Times, set an excellent example to other pro-
prietors in Ireland by visiting their estates annually and
residing for some time in the midst of their tenantry.
Their presence gives confidence and pleasure to the people,
who are grateful for the attention bestowed upon them,
and the fact that their landlord can make personal in-
quiries respecting any causes of complaint, sad judge for
himself as to the condition of the farms and the improve-
ments which may be required, cannot fail to have a bene-
ficial effect. Coollatin Park, at which the family are now
staying, I. a centre of gaiety and rejoicing in honour of
the marriage of Lord Milton. Amos( the entertainment.
which have been given to celebrate the event, not the least
interesting was on Friday, when 600 children belonging to
the several 'shoots on the estate were hospitably received
in the park, and the most liberal arrangements made for
their enjoyment.

addition to which fuel, light, and provisions will be issued
to the wife and family at the public expease.—dlaidstone

13171 MEN DEATH OP AN OPPTCLit.—On Thursday
night last Lieutenant-Colonel Hill, of Tickhill Castle, died
very suddenly while in the midst of his family. Colonel
Hill, who was brother•in-law to the present Earl of Scar-
borough, had dined at Tickhill Castle with Lady Frances,
his wife, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry fore Booth, the latter
of whom was his daughter, but very recently married to
Mr. Gore Rooth. The deceased gentleman was apparently
in his usual health—at the best not very robust—when be
suddenly expired in his chair. Colonel Hill was in his 70th
year, and his health had been such for several years that
his medical men advised his family that he might die ►t
any moment. An inquest was held at the Carpenters'
Arms, Tiokhill, on Saturday evening, before Dr. Grey,
county coroner, and a respectable jury, when a verdict was
returned to the effect that the deceased had died from
natural causes. _ _

CONFERENCE OF MORMONS TN BIRMINGHAM.
The annual conference of the Mormon brotherhood re-
siding in and around Birmingham was held in that town
on Sunday. There were several elders present from Salt
Lake City. Elder Moses Thatcher presided. It was stated
by the travelling elders that Mormonism is making nume-
rous converts in England. It was denied by Elder Dr.
Richard', who is one of the twelve apostles, that there
has been any split in the camp at Utah. Elders Orson
Hide, Orson Pratt. and Amasser Lyman. who are next to
John Smith in rank, had not seceded. The brethren were
living in perfect unity and peace, and the people of this
land of ignorance and superstition could not conceive the
happiness that reigned in the Zion across the waters. A
reeolution was unanimously passed acknowling Brigham
Young as prophet and John Smith as patriarch.

under this bead in yesterday's Itzpress it was mid,
