CRICKE TING IN WAVERTREE-PARK

TO TIM ' EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

togett ier with your cot, tapundentin Monday'spaper, was
surprised at the order for putting a stop to cricket in Wavertree-
park. If it is • aecessary that such should be done, it only shows
the necessity fo r larger parks, and more of them—because I con-
ceive that a larf :e and wealthy town like Liverpool should afford to
itsinhabitants i places where they can spend a portion of their time
in•such healthy active games as this;: aud' I hope, some day, Par-
liament-street fields will be obtained for the purpose. By the way,
I ecnsider it IT ither ungracious Of the Earl of Sefton that he will
not allow the use of them even for money. However, I do not
think the ordc 2r at all necessary. I hopee the committee will give
the subject a reconsideration. 'ln place of being an objection,
cricket is an a .dditional attraction to the Park, and for those who
avih to keep out of the way of it, there-is plenty of room for them
to do so, as tb .e room we take up is by,no means large, nor much
required for , ither purposes.—l remain, yours very respecttully,

There was a meeting of the Union Bank of Aus-
tralia held to-day. The report was satisfactory as
to general state of business in the colony, but shewed
a falling off in the profit of the last year. The
directors declared out of the nett balance a distri-
bution at the rate of 2/. per cent. for the half year,
and the report was adopted, and there was no discus-
sion of importance.

The Exchange at Calcutta appears to be rather
more favourable, but the telegrams are somewhat
obscure.

It would appear that, although the change of
Ministry has involved some delays, the present
Cabinet, like their predecessors in office, contemplate
laying down the telegraphic cable of 1,100 nautical
miles, from Falmouth to Gibraltar, as a Government
undertaking, upon the basis originally proposed.
Tenders for the construction of the cable have not yet
been invited, Lut the Gutta Percha Company, as al-
ready mentioned, are engaged, pursuant to instructions
from Government, in manufacturing the gutta percha
covering for the wire. It is anticipated that before
the Falmouth-Gibraltar cable is laid down instruc-
tions will be given for the manufacture of another
section of 900 miles in length, from Gibraltar to
Malta. The actual submersion of the wire, however,
can scarcely be effected before next spring. Pro•
bably, upon the subsequent completion of the final
section between Malta and Egypt,-the entire line,
tire property of the state, may be leased to
the Red Sea and India Telegraph • Company,
which may thus ultimately be entrusted with
the management of one unbroken line of telegraph
from Falmouth to India. Parliament, however, will
surely claim some voice in these important arrange-
ments, which involves a large outlay of public money.
Amongst the notices of dissolution of partnership
in Friday night's Gazette is the following :—" A.
Mocatta, F. D. Goldsmid, and F. D. Mocatta, King's-
arms-yard, City, bullion brokers, so far as regards
A. Mocatta."

The Great Eastern has been getting on wonder-
fully during the last few weeks, and it is expected
that within a month her steam will be up, and she
will be on her way across the Atlantic. The three
iron masts rise 122 feet above the upper deck, and
have a diameter of 3 feet 6 inches for a height of
seventy feet, when they decrease gradually to
2 feet 6 inches at the cap. The three wooden masts,
which are also in their places, are not built masts,
but are single " sticks." The fore and mizen
masts are 140 feet in height, and they
are 34 inches in diameter at the deck ; the
jiggermast is 122 feet in height, and of the same
diameter. The trees which formed these masts were
.New Zealand pines. The ship is built in water-tight
compartments ; and so completely water-tight are
they, that a few days since the foremost one was filled
with six thousand tons of water pumped in from the
river, and not a drop escaped into any adjoining por-
tion. The object in pumping this mass of water into
the fore part of the ship was to bring her down at the
bows, and raise the stern while they fixed the screw.
This weight brought her down till, said one of the
men, " her nose touched the water." She went down
eleven feet forward, and was raised seven feet
aft ; a portion of her keel was, in fact, raised out
of the water ; and yet so strongly and so rigidly
is she built, that under this enormous
strain the ship did not deflect an inch. The
engines for working the paddles, it is said, may be
completed in a week. Everything is in its place,
cylinders, and pistons, and governors. The engine
for working the screw is in the same state of
forwardness, and on Thursday the steam was got up
for the first time in the boilers of the screw engines.
The sums which had been expended on the ship up
to the time of its memorable launch amounted to
£640,000. The whole expenditure on the ship up to
the time of its going to sea will be £970,000, and
probably some incidental charges and contingencies
will bring the whole up to the round sum of
£1,000,000.

The Funds are still rising. The immense rebound
that took place yesterday in all the Continental
Stock Markets received a favourable effect to-day.
Consols closed it, per cent. higher than yesterday.
In most of the other departments of the Stock
Exchange a fresh advance was established. In
Lombard-street to-day the demand for money was
languid. At the Bank there were very few applica-
tions. There were no bullion operations, at the
Bank to-day. The importations of the precious
metals this week have been very considerable. The
value of these arrivals is about £423,000, of which
nearly the whole has been sent abroad.—Daily
News City Article, Saturday Evening.
The rise of nearly 2 per cent, yesterday, from the
news of the truce, was well maintained, and before
the close a further improvement took place. The
City of Washington, from New York, has brought
£10,400, and the Pera, from the Mediterranean,
£10,000.--Times City Article, Monday Evening.
