CRICIET.-(THIS DAY.)

THE OVAL.
IRTRIZT T. NOTTS.

The great event of the 1868 season at the Oval
was commenced this day at 20 minutes past 12, when
Surrey, having won the toss, commenced the batting with
Humphrey and Jupp, bowled at by J. C. Shaw and M.
M'lntyre. 2 to 1 were laid on Nottingham in
some quarter.. There was considerably above
an average attendance at the commencement of
pl, and the wickets were good, but of course
sower" than of late, owing to the copious
rains of the last eight-and-forty hour.. J. C. Shaw com-
menced with sending down five maiden overs in suocee-
sion, and only 20 were totalled in the first half hour. Up to
the time of our despatch leaving he had delivered ten
overs for a single run off the bat, and for these he was
repeatedly cheered. At 22 Wootton went on vice Win-
tyro, and the first 4 in the match was made off his over.
TIIRIZ O'CLOCK.

Run-getting off such fine bowling, especially that of
J. C. Shaw, was awfully slow work, and when 36 were
scored, Humphrey had to retire, his off stump being
bowled by J. C. Shaw. The Surrey wicket keeper, who
followed, gave a " hot chance," by hitting one back to
the bowler before he had scored, which was not held, so
he hit away afterwards bravely. Jupp was sent
to the rightabout after playing • fine defensive
innings of 21, which occupied nearly one hour and
a half. Shaw's bowling continued first-rate, and Wootton
found his way to Stephenson's stumps. Mortlock shortly
after was run out through a fine bit of fielding on the
part of Daft and Biddulph. Griffith was much cheered
on re-appearing after recovery from his late sprain—he
made a fins straight drive for 6, and then lost
his partner at " his own game," Biddulph stump-
ing him exceedingly well. Bristow, just after
was caught off his glove from a ball which popped up.
Griffith was badly missed by J. Oecreft, and in the same
over Mr. Calvert was run out. The next wicket to goVas
that of Griffith, whom J. C. Shaw bowled " slick" after
making 16. Southerton's middle stump was taken out by
Wootton in the following over. Street, after making a
good drive for S off Wootton, was clean bowled, and
exactly at 3 o'clock the innings closed for 114.

ORANGE RIOTS AT BLACKBURN.

SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.

On Saturday afternoon an Orange demonstra-
tion, in which about 6,000 persons took part, was held in
Blackburn. In the afternoon a procession was formed by
Orangemen, and theywalked through the streets of the town-
A counter-demon.strationwoui got up by theradicalsandtke
Boman catholic*, and when the Orange procession was
pairing dawn Astley-gate, the Irish broke through
their ranks and • general riot took place.
Bludgeons were freely used, and before the police could be
got together several persons were streaming witk blood,
and one woman was stabbed very seriously. Her
assailant was, however, captured and locked up.
Several Orangemen had their heads split open.
By the timely arrival of the mayor and a large posse of the
police the riot was stopped only to be renewed again in
Penny-street, a quarter occupied by the Irish. Stones
were thrown, sticks and pokers were used, and the police
had to charge the mob and drive them away. The police
patrolled the streets and prevented further disturbances.

Tux WEATTEER.—There has at length been a
break in the continuous run of dry weather which has
lasted so long, and which threatened to prove of serious
injury to the crops. In London on Saturday night there
was a thunderstorm less violent than that of the 29th of
May, but accompanied by some welcome rain, which fell
heavily for some time. In the course of yesterday occa-
sional showers fell, and shortly after midnight a second
thunderstorm burst over the metropolis. The peals were
louder and the lightning more vivid than on Saturday
night, and rain once more fell heavily.
The wheat crop iu the south of England will, it
is expected, be one of the finest ever known, on account
the quantity of sunlight to which it has been exposed.
A COSTLY COMMISSION. —From a return pub-
lished this morning, it appears that the expenses of the
Irish Railway Commission amounted to no less than
22,6061. lls. 3d. Of this sum the remuneration of three
of the commissioners and the secretary was 3,2231., the
Ace expenses, printing and incidental. 2,2981. 6s. id.,

Thesosupply of beasts is not so large as on Monday last,
and qualities are scarcer. Choicest kinds comae-

and there is a somewhat better demand, yet trade is by
no means brisk, and it is only in choicest
qualities that prices are better. lambs continue
to be a bad trade. There is no alteration in trade for
calves. Our foreign supply consists of 1,772 beasts, 8,440
sheep, 297 calves, and 40 pigs. From Scotland there are
16 beasts ; Norfolk and Suffolk, 230 ; and 2,823 from the

Messrs. Pattenden and Smith report a continued steady
demand fer consumption for both Engliah and foreign, at
late prices. Stocks are in a very reduced state. The re-
ports from the Continent are less favourable; and the
result of their crops will fall much short of last year's.
The amounts from the home districts continue very
favourable, and the late rains are all that were required.

ONE O'CLOCK.

In the Stock Exchange to-day there is not muoh
business apart from that connected with the fort-
nightly settlement, which has just com-
menced. The tono of the markets, ou tho
whole, is dull, the anticipated introduction
at an early date of several fresh foreign loans
tending to cause a preponderance of sales.
Consols have decking 1-16 per cent. for money,
but are without variation for the ac-
count. The changes in foreign bonds are
nearly all in an adverse direction. Egyptian of
1864 and Italian of 1881 have been sold to a con-
siderable extent, at lower prices, it being expected
that these countries will be the first to apply here
for financial assistance. Railway stocks are slightly
firmer in some cases.

The demand for money is moderate, and the
supply very large. The rate for the best paper is
1; to 11 per cent.
Consols are quoted 944 to 1, ex div., for
money, and 941 to 1, ex div., for the account

of prices is unfavourable. Egyptian of 1884 and
Italian of 1861 have declined 1 per cent., and
Mexican and Peruvian of 1863$ Ito ; bat the
Orel Vitebsk Railway Loan has improved 1.
Subjoined are the prices :—Braxilian of 1867,
