ORICKET.-(THIS DAY.)
THE OVAL.
COUNTY OF SURREY V. Y.CC. AND GROUND.

The return match between these two great
metropolitan clubs began at The Oval at 20 minutes past
12. The day was overcast, and when a dozen oven; had been
bowled, the rain commenced falling, and one adjournment
took place. The Marylebone Club won the toss and took
first innings, Dr. Orace and Price representing them at
the wickets. The Surrey bowling was started by Griffith,
and Bristow delivered from the opposite wicket.

THREE O'CLOCK.

After an interval of 20 minutes play was resumed, and
very speedily M.C.C. had lost a moiety of their wickets
for less than 50 runs, 34 of which were got by Price
by admirable play. It was then that Mr. Campbell
joined Mr. Baker, and a good stand was made,
inducing several changes in the bowling, to wit,
Sewell for Griffith at 75. The latter resumed at 106, and
at 108, Hall, the colt, was tried, but Mr. Campbell made
$ off his first over. Both batted in good form. Mr. Baker
made a 6 to leg off Griffith. The score was moved up to
123, when the rain again drove all to shelter at 2.40, at
which time the score stood as under:

THE CHARITY CHILDREN AT ST. PAUL'S.
(2,11.1 S DAY.)

The anniversary meeting of the children belong-
ing to the several parochial schools in the metropolis took
place to-day under the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. The
doors were opened at 10 o'clock, when the children began
to arrive ; and notwithstanding their antiquated costume
their clean and neat appearance attracted very favourable
notice. There were about 4,000 children assembled—the
number of schools represented being 57. The Lord
Mayor, aldermen, and sheriffs were, as usual, pre.
sent, and the general company included several
persons of distinction. Divine service commenced at
twelve o'clock, the hundredth psalm being sung before
prayers. The psalms for the day were chanted by the
gentlemen of the united choirs, the children joining in
the Gloria Patri. The choral service also included are Daum
and the Jubilate Deo (by Goss), the Coronation Anthem, and
finally, the Hallelujah chorus by the choir, the children
taking part. The sermon was preached by the Right Rev.
the Lord Bishop of Ely, and at the close of the
proceedings • collection was made to meet the
expenses incurred by the society of patrons,
and to enable them to render assistance to the
necessitous charity schools. Owing to the death of the
late president. his office was filled on this occasion by Mr
Samuel Fisher and Mr. Beriah Drew, treasurers. Mr. Goss
presided at the organ.

PUBLIC BREASPAXT TO MR. BRIGHT
AND MK V. DARCOURT AT LIVERPOOL.

(n ON OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
Mr. Bright and Mr. Vernon Harcourt were
entertained at a public breakfast by the liberal party this
morning.
Mr. Bright delivered an address of more than an hour's
duration, and entered at length into the Irish church
question.
The proceedings were very enthusiastic.

HOLLOWAY WORKING MEN'S CLUB AND INSTI-
TUTE.— An appeal has been made by the committee of this
institute for funds to enable them to increase its useful-
nese and to make it self-supporting. It has been in ex-
istence nearly five years, and has been continuously suc-
cessful, notwithstanding the inoonvenience of the pre-
mises with respect both to capacity and situation.
The committee have now obtained • suitable
site upon which to build club, reading, class rooms,
and a large lecture-hall. After the first out-
lay, the building will, it is expected, not only be self-
supporting, but will yield a surplus which may be applied
to the educational purposes of the institution. The esti-
mated cost is about 1,0001. The members have shown
their interest in the scheme by contributing to the full
extent of their ability ; but as the amount thus obtained
is not sufficient for the purpose, the committee express
a hope that they may be assisted by the public in their
effort to overcome the first difficulty. The secretary of the
club is Mr. G. R. Tattersall, 301, Holloway-road.
THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN Kr/ow-
LEDOIr AND BIsDOP COLAIISO. —We learn that the pro-
ceedings at the monthly board of the above society yester-
day (Tuesday) were of • very stormy character. There
was a very full attendance, and the board sat until half-
past five. The chief discussion arose on the motion of the
Rev. It. T. West to grant 4,230/. towards the building of
churches, schools, and houses in the Natal diocese, for the
use of the clergy and laity who repudiate the authority
of Bishop Colenso. From the commencement of the dis-
cussion it was obvious that a compact body of ritualists
were present, and we learn that their unbecoming noise
was commented on by more than one speaker. The grant
was opposed, not on any ground of sympathy with Bishop
Colenso, but partly on the ground that a very large list of
applications, some of long standing, were in anew ; and
y because it was urged that the society would put
partly becaus, it was urged that tile soci.ty woulA put
Itself into antagonism with the law, and that grave
doubts are entertained of the validity of the depoidtion of
the bishop. Mr. West's motion was lost by a small majority. I
