CRICKETING JEXTRAORDINAILY.—Tuesday a cricket
match of an extraordinary nature, took place upon the public
ground, which is set apart for the King's scholars at Westminster
school. Several of the inhabitant householder,' of Tothill
who still regret the abolition of their annual fairs. concerted thin
entertainment in order to supply their vacuum of recreation. There
were twenty-two cricketers, eleven of which belonged to St. Mar.
gam's, and eleven to St. John's, Weatniit ger, and the match was
for 110 sovereigns. The wickets were pitched at twelve o'clock, at
which time marquees were also set with, a profusion of refresh.
merits of every kind Mr. Watts, the landlord of the Plough, in
Rochester-row, took a leading part in the entertainment of the day.
and, in fact, the licensed victuallers in the neighbourhood were
more or less engaged in the general plan. After a considerahle
trial of strength, the wager was decided is favour of the cricketers
of St. Margaret's. in which Mr. George Hawkins. of Peter-street.
Westminsier. took a leading part. The first nnings of St. Mar-
garet's were 103, which the two innings of St. John • were unable
to cover, so that St. 313rgaret's had no occasion to go in *gaits
All the cricketers were handsomely dressed in new striped nowayn
and jackets, and the match was not decided until fire in the
afternoon.
FlRE.—Between four and five o'clock yesterday after-
noon a tire broke out in the work-shop of Mr. Ahlett, the carpenter
No. 17, llollen-street, Wardour-street, Oxford-road, which, frost
the nature of the material'', and the situation of the premises,
threatened the most scrim's consequences to most valuable property
surrounding it in every direction. Fortun ttelr, however, from the
activity of the firemen and insurance office engines, with a pientr
ful supply of water, the principal damage was confined to do
work-shop of Mr. Ablett, which is reduced to ruins—to ha
dwelling-house and the two adjoining ones, which are much O
jured. The whole of Holden-street is densely inhabited by lodgers
and such was the alarm occasioned, that they began moving the:
furniture in every direction, and their property was greatly re'
served by a strong party of the ROW-Strati patrol who were on the
spot, and who prevented any depredations from being committed.
The property was natured.
