CRICKET.

ELEVEN OF ENGLAND V. TWENTY-TWO OF BRADFORD
AND DISTRICT.—This match was brought to a conclu-
sion at Bradford on Wednesday, when, to the astonish-
ment of not a few, it was found that the Eleven were
vanquished in one innings by 50 runs, the score pre-
senting the following appearance: —Bradford, first
innings, 180. The Eleven, first innings, 79; second
ditto, 60.
THE UNITED ELEVEN OF ENGLAND V. FIFTEEN 07
SHEFFIELD.—This match was resumed at Sheffield on
Wednesday, and upon being brought to its termination
gave the subjoined result, by which it will be seen the
"United Eleven" won by eight wickets. Sheffield, first
innings, 110; second ditto, 37. United Eleven, first
innings, 104; second ditto, 46. The United Eleven won
by eight wickets.

FATAL EFFECTS OF POACHING.—AEI inquest was
held on Monday, by LIZ. M. Wilson Esq., coroner, on the
body of Thomas Bungay, of Plaitford. It appeared that the
deceased, who was aged 20, went out with a lad three years
younger than himself, named John Moore, each armed with
a gun, for the purposes of poaching, on Sunday afternoon.
Having found a covey of partridges in a field in the occupa-
tion of Farmer Noble, they marked down a single bird in a
hedgerow, and both fired on the bird's rising, John Moore
lodging the contents of his gun in his companion's left side.
Bungay called out, " John, what did you shoot at me for ?"
and upon Moore's replying, " I don't know that I did,"
Bungay answered, " Yes, you did though," and after walking
two or three yards fell down and expired in a few minutes.
From the position of the wound it seemed probable that the
charge had lodged in his heart. Verdict, " Homicide by
misadventure."—Sherborne Journal.

BRIGHTON.-Our roadstead on Sunday exhibited
a lively and picturesque scene. The Rolla gun-brig, and the
Fernande, a beautiful yacht, belonging to Major Martyn,
being anchored off the town, nearly all the boats on the
beach, especially the row-boats, the sea being almost as
placid as a lake, were engaged by parties anxious to visit
her. From the shore the small boats near the brig looked
like a swarm of bees around a hive. So many boats being
engaged was attributable to the influx of excursionists. On
Tuesday another yacht, the Violet, belonging to Sir Henry
Blake arrived in our roads. She is a smaller craft than
Major Martyn's. The brig and yachts sailed westward yes-
terday morning. It is in contemplation to get (up a Regatta
Club in this town ; and to invite the members of the West-
minster Regatta Club to join them in the formation of October
matches, to take place off Brighton. The first meeting is to
be held at the Royal Sovereign this evening.—Brighton
Gazette of yesterday.

THE WEATHER AT GLASGOW.—The weather during
the last three days has been warm, drying, and sultry, and
all that could be wished for the completion of harvest
operations. An immense quantity of victual has been cut
over the entire country, and a short continuance of the
present splendid weather will enable the husbandman to
make it secure.— Glasgow Chronicle.
TERMINATION OF THE BUILDERS' STRlKE.—Yes-
terday the whole of the men, about 150 in number, who
were lately out upon strike, returned to their work—their
employers, the Messrs. Smith and Pearse, of the Camden
Town-road, having, at a meeting of the workmen, on Tues-
day, given their consent to the four o'clock movement.
Yesterday the lien held a meeting at Mr. Cheef's, the Rail-
way Tavern, Maiden-lane, King's-cross, at which it was
stated that numerous other parties were prepared and in-
tended to follow their example, if their employers refused to
comply with their demands ; viz., the concession of the four
o'clock movement. A placard was also read, from which it
appeared that the whole of the carpenters lately in the em-
ploy of the Messrs. Edwards, of the Lower-road, Islington,
in consequence of their being debarred from leaving off their
employ at four o'clock on Saturdays, had refused to work;
and it concluded by calling upon their fellow workmen to
support them while out of employ. It was stated that
nearly the whole of the large master builders of the metro-
polis and suburbs complied with the request of their work
people when it was first mentioned to them. The customary
vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.
THE LATE MR. ALLEN, THE ARTIST. We are
glad to hear that the City of London School has given fifty
guineas to the widow and family (eight children) of their
late professor of drawing, Mr. J. W. Allen, the well-known
landscape painter, whose sudden death on the 29th ult, left
them in such a state that it was found necessary to make an
appeal to his friends and the admirers of art. The head-
master, the Rev. Dr. Mortimer, has also given ten guineas,
and the other masters have made this sum up to thirty
guineas. As 1,0001. would permanently benefit the widow
and family of this gifted and truly English artist, a great
effort is being made to raise this sum; and we heartily wish
well to this proper testimonial to the artist and the man.
THE COURT.—We understand that her Majesty
and the Prince Consort were expected to attend the annual
Highland Braemar gathering, which " came off" yester-
day. The Earl of Malmesbury, who is the Minister in
attendance on the Queen, will be succeeded to-morrow, it
is expected, by the Noble Premier. The Viscountess Can-
ning, who has arrived at Fort William, Inverness, will go
into waiting on the Queen on the 27th instant. A detach-
ment of the 42d Highlanders, commanded by Captain Camp-
bell, is stationed at Ballater as a guard of honour during her
Majesty's stay. The infant Prince Arthur and the princess
Louisa remain at Osborne until the return of their illustrious
parents, in charge of Lady Caroline Barrington.
THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—The day fixed
for the opening of this railway is Friday, the 17th instant,
and not Thursday, the 16th, as has been stated by mis_
take in several journals. The directors will arrive at
Swansea, on the 15th. Great preparations are being made
for the occasion.

ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The monthly meeting
of this society was held at their rooms, 17, Old Bond-street,
on the sth instant, J. 9. Westwood, Esq., F.L.S. president'
in the chair. The ordinary donations of books, &c., were
announced, and thanks ordered to be given to the respective
donors. The specimens exhibited on this occasion were so
varied and numerous that we can find space only to mention
the most remarkable of them. Mr. F. Bond showed a box
of Coleoptera, from the Mandarra River, New South Wales,
400 miles north of Sydney, containining various new forms
including a curious cylindrical-shaped Scarites. Mr. S.
Stevens exhibited some fine specimens of the sexes of Calli-
thea Sapphira, which had been bred by Mr.. H. W. Bates
in the Brazils. The larva and pupa of this insect had also
arrived in this country. Mr. Curtis called the attention of
the members to a specimen of Sphinx Antseus, which had
been bred in the gardens of the Horticultural Society at
Chiswick from a box of plants from the Pitchlake, Trinidad,
and remarked upon the caution with which we should look
upon all extraordinary insects which have appeared in this
country at various times, as doubtless many such, like the
present, are only imported species, and alluded specially to
those which have been taken at lighthouses. Mr. Edwin
Shepherd exhibited a very fine specimen of Chilo cicatricel-
lus, new to the British lists, taken last month on the cliff
near Dover, along with two new species of Tortrices, from
the same locality.

ROYAL ORTHOYMDIC HOSPITAL, BLOOMSBURY-
sQUARE.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the committee
of this charity was held in Bloomsbury-square. It was
stated by the chairman that in consequence of the number
of severe cases on the books, waiting their turn of admission for
indoor treatment, a special appeal had been issued in behalf of
the building fund with the view of extending the accommo-
dation of the hospital. There were no less than 300 cases
too severe in their nature to admit of out-door treatment,
and as the majority were growing more difficult, if not dan-
gerous, by delay, the committee were anxious to provide for
their accommodation as soon as the funds would allow them

increase the number of beds. Her DI

A FATAL DRAUGIIT.-0" the morning of Sun-

last the wife of Mr. William Tudhope, merchant, Coat-
bridge, had occasion to use vitriol for purposes connected
with her household affairs, but by some incaution or neglect
the cup which contained the

to fall within the reach of her child, a sprightly little boy of
three years of age, who unperceived caught hold of the cup,
swallowed its contents, and was instantly seized with the
most excruciating internal pains, the effect of which on the
minds of those who witnessed the agonising cries and throes
of the child will not soon be forgotten. Medical aid was
speedily in attendance, and every effort made to relieve
the little sufferer, but prolonged existence was only that
of misery without the prospect of ultimate recov

LONDON,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Atoniteur contains a decree from the PRrs

DENT of the Republic, and countersigned by M. DE
MA-urA:, the Minister of Police, declaring the Paris
journal the Corsaire to be suspended. The decree is
dated the Bth instant, and has been issued, it is be-
lieved, in consequence of a strong Legitimist article
which the above-named journal published in its num-
ber of that day.
" According to intelligence," says the Moniteur,
"received from the Governor of Guadaloupe to the
13th of August, the sort of effervescence which had
manifested itself amongst the parties which divide the
colony had altogether subsided. The country en-
joyed perfect tranquillity."
Each of the Ministers in turn is, says the Patric,
to accompany the PRINCE PRESIDENT for a certain
distance in his journey to the south.
The Minister of Marine is to leave Paris on Sunday
next for Cherbourg to attend the launch of the ship of
the line the Austerlitz on the 15th.

The Slide has an article on the subject of the dimi-
nution of the interest on Treasury Bills and the pay-
ment of the twenty-five millions remaining due to the
Bank of France. It merely proposes to treat it as a
matter of business, nothing more. Looking, then, at
the affair in a business point of view, it observes that
the State cannot, like a private individual, come in for
a legacy or find itself enriched by a sudden stroke of
fortune. Consequently, the 700 millions floating
debt which had been ascertained and certified a couple
of months ago remains where it was ; still it is happy
to admit that taxes are more easily paid. The re-
duction of interest must then be taken as a sign of
an excellent financial position, but of one which is
tending towards a good position. If the hands of the
Treasury be so full as that it can make its own terms,
the reason, according to this paper, is that capitalists,
unwilling to engage in speculations of long date and
subject to the risks of the future, are but too glad
to invest their money in Treasury Bills, which are of
short date and easily negotiable, and in this way the
whole mystery is explained. This abundance of
money, proceeding as it does from the savings-banks'
deposits and other investments, will not relieve the
Government from the necessity of diminishing public
expenditure by bringing it down to an equality with
income, and it joins in the pretty general cry for the
reduction of the army.
The Moniteur announces that the Haitian Go-
vernment has paid 18,000 piastres (95,000 francs) to
the Consul-General of France in satisfaction of cer-
tain demands which the French Government had
made on it for losses sustained, and for indemnities
due to French citizens.

The Bulletin des Lois publishes a decree from the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, opening an extraordinary
credit of 150,000 f. to the Minister of the Interior, to
be employed in the purchase of the materiel necessary
for public fetes. This credit is granted on the ground
that the present supply is quite inadequate and unfit
for use.

The Marquis DE LAROCHEJAQUELEIN has addressed
a letter to the Assemblie Nationale, which, after de-
claring that the address of the Council-General of the
Deux- Sévres, which had been attributed to him
by that journal, was proposed by General ALLARD,
and signed by all the members present, proceeds as
follows :
" Prince Louis Napoleon, in doing me the honour to
name me President, was well aware that I would never
repudiate my principles; he was aware also that I had
protested against the coup d'etat of December 2. I had,
in fact, told him so myself. Since that period, I, like
many others of my colleagues, was enabled to appreciate
events and the situation of France; I had seen men and
political parties closely enough to be convinced that, if
the coup d'etat of December 2 had not taken place, I
certainly should not have had the satisfaction of witness-
ing the triumph of my own opinions, but that we should
have inevitably fallen into the hands of a faction, red or
blue, which would have given us a regime of which I
cannot say that I should have in the slightest degree to
acknowledge the mildness. I did not desire to see the
present Government, but it has the double merit in my
eyes, first of preventing others from appearing which I
should have infinitely less desired to see; and next, of
having its basis on the national will, of appealing to all
the men of worth, who are willing to give their loyal
and disinterested co-operation to the service of their
country, without asking for any renunciation of their
principles. Ido not think that Louis Napoleon would
think himself honoured by the support of apostates."

The Presse says—
" The household of the Prince President of the Re-
public is at present boing completed by the engagement
of numerous domestics; but they are not to commence
their service until the return from the journey to the
southern departments. All the persona whom the Prince
President employs have belonged to the corps d'aite of
the army, and especially to the carbineers."
We read in a Paris letter in a Belgian journal—
" I have before me a list of pardoned political offenders,
who owe their liberty to M. Belmontet, deputy of the
Lot-et-Garonne, under the most touching circumstances.
M. Belmontet, whose fete was on the 25th ult., as his
name is Louis, dined on that day with the Prince, whose,
oldest friend he is, and who formerly used to offer hini a
bouquet. Well, Belmontet,' said the Prince at the dessert
what can I give you this year ?" Some pardons,
Monseigneur !' answered the poet. Hum ! pardons !'
said Louis Napoleon ; but the persons whom I pardon
treat me so prettily !' I answer, Monseigneur, for
those whom I should have the honour to propose to
you.' Well, let us see your list.' Here it is, Mon-
seigneur.' The Prince read Constant, ex-avoue, of
Castel Sarazin ; Berger, clerk to an avoue of the same
place ; the brothers Delbert, tradesmen, of Moissao ;
Lambert and Courtis, workmen of the same place. But
that only makes six names !' remarked the Prince.
Oh, Monseigneur, I have others 1' and he read,
Leygne, workman, of Castel Sarazin ; Vidaloque, apo-
thecary, of Agen; Talons, maker of sabots, at Toulouse;
Floret, relative of the prefect of that name ; Manna,
advocate, of Moissao'—and four others whose names 1
forget. ' Well said the Prince, ' give that to Roguet.'
By this time fifteen proteges of M. Belmontet have been
restored to their families, without conditions and without
restrictions."
