CRICKET.-(THIS DAY.)

THE OVAL.

Or SURREY V. PLETEIIB.

This annual match commenced to-day, at twenty
minutes past noon. on a splendid pair of wioketa, at Ken-
nington Oval. The gentlemen having won the toss,
elected to act on the defensive, and were first repre-
sented by Messrs. E. M. Grace and B. B. Cooper.
Silcock (Pavilion end) and Willeher were the bowlers.
The former, with the last ball of his second
over, took out Mr. Cooper's middle stump, letting in Mr.
Gilbert Grace. The brothers' partnership was of short
duration. When the total had reached the first decade,
Dr. Grace skyed a ball of Willsher's, which was well
judged and taken by Coward at cover point. Mr. Buller
and Mr. Gilbert Grace were playing steadily when our
despatch left the ground, the score being as follows:
OaarLamax—Pert
Mr. E. M. Orace, c Coward, b Willaher

Both bowlers continued to "deliver" so accura
that run getting was somewhat slow. Mr. Grace was,
after making 19, in his usually effective style, very
finely caught at deep square leg by Coward, and
was succeeded by Mr. L 1). Walker. The score was
hit to 62, when Lillywhite took up the bowling at
Willsher's wicket. When tho score was at 98 the fourth
wicket (Mr. Buller's) went, be being caught cleanly at the
wicket for 41. Mr. H. A. Richardson was neat in. With
the score at 115, Mantle went on vice Lillywhite, but the
"change" produced no effect. Both Geatlemen were in
great form. The score at 2.45 stood as under:

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.-(THI8 DAY.)

THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT.
At a Court of Common Council holden this
morning at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor stated that some
time back Mr. C. Oppenheim called upon him,
and
hatedst that a sum of money haring come
into in reference to a public matter
in which be had been engaged, he was anxious
to employ that money on some public object, and he was
desirous of asking for his counsel as to the best means for
employing the money to which he referred. The Lord Mayor
stated that he had informed Mr. Oppenheim that at present
there was no statue or memorial of the late lamented
Prince Consort in the city of London, and that as it was
impossible to do too much honour to the memory of so
great and good a man, be suggested to Mr. Opprinheirn
whether the money might not be appropriately
I devoted to such a :purpose. He that be
subsequently received letter from Mr.
helm agreeing agreeing to the proposal, provided a suitable
site could be obtained in the City of Larnaca'
for such a purpose, and Mr. Oppealteim at the
same time said that he bad communicated with
her Majesty upon the subject, and that she had expressed
her concurrence in any cause that was likely to do
honour to the memory of her late husband.
Upon the motion of Mr. R. Cs:, seconded by Deputy
Bannister, the proposal was accepted, and the matter re-
ferred to the City Lands Committee to make the necessary
arrangement&
