GRAND BILLIARD MATCH FOR £2OO.

A grand billiard match was played last evening
at Saville House, Leicester-square, between Charles
Hughes and William Dutton. The match arose out
of the late Grand Billiard Handicap. in which
Dufton became the winner of the cup. Dutton being
put in the handicap at 25 points in 200, Hughes
was not satisfied with the result, and hence the
match last evening, in which Dufton received 200
points in 1,000. The stakes were £lOO a-side. Mr.
Roberts had a new table fitted up expressly by
Yeman and Cox, of St. Michael's-place, Brompton-
,quare, which was, especially as to the playing part,
a very beautiful board. Fred. Morris was the
marker, and performed his duty with great care and
uccuracv. Hughes won the break and £5 to £4
was laid on him to money. Hughes took the lead,
and was soon 35 to 216; but Dufton regained his
points without Hughes scoring further. They con-
tinued even up to 60. When the fitst 100
had been played, Dutton had increased the
points given by 14. They went on playing
the next 100 with varied scores till Morris
announced Hughes 189, Dufton 407 ; £7 to £4
being laid on Dutton, and freely taken. They
proceeded, each scoring average breaks, till, at
Hughes 260, Dufton 493, £2O to £lO was laid on
the last-named. At the third 100 Hughes reduced
the points given by making some goof breaks, and
brought the score to Hughes 406, Dufton 537, and
Hughes was backed at £5 even. Just then, how-
ever, Dufton got a break, and pulled up 30, and
then 33, while his ativersarl only scored 18, so that
the fourth 100 showed Hughes 424, Dufton 600.
He (Dutton) went on with another break to 633
and then 655, Hughes making his lot 434. Hughes
then got up a fine 47, but his antagonist scored
steadily. The game was shortly called, Hughes
506, Dutton, 701. Hughes then made 40, but still
Dufton played on and justified the confidence of his
friends by keeping still ahead all his points and
more, and got up to his sixth hundred. After along
break of 60 (t ne break of the evening), Morris called
the score—Hughes 607, Dufton 853. From that
point, although Hughes pulled up once or twice, it
was of no avail, as when the game was called,
Hughes 836, Dutton 974, the last named player
got in and made the game off the balls, winning
easily by 164 points. The courtesy and attentionof Mr. Roberts, the,champioe, was as usual uni-
formly bestowed, and after the game Dufton and

It will probably be in the recollection of our
readers that when the Royal Mail steamer Avon
was wrecked at Colon last November, during a terrific gale,
the United States brig-of-war Bainbridge narrowly escaped
a similar fate, and that Mr. Milne, fifth engineer of the
Avon, with four other persons belonging to her, put off to
the brig in a boat, and rescued her crew at great personal
sacrifice. Mr. Milne has just received from President Lin-
coln a very handsome gold watch, on which is inscribed—
" To John Milne, from the President of the United States,
for honour, courage, and humanity." The watch was for-
warded through the American minister in London, and on
Thursday last Mr. Robert Ritchie, the company's
superin-
tending engineer, had the gratifying task of handing it to
Mr. Milne.

THE CHANCELLOR'S BUDGET.

This morning au extraordinary scene was pre-
sented in the approaches of the House of Commons,
showing the great interest the announcement to be
made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer has ex-
cited. For many days the Sergeant-at-Arms, Lord
Charles Russell, has been overwhelmed with appli-
cations for orders for the gallery this evening, and
every member has been solicited for his
order also. As it is more than possible
that each of 650 odd members have given
their order of admission to the Strangers' Gallery,
and as the said locality will only accommodate at
the most about 150 or 200 persons, the number of
persons doomed to disappointment will be some-
what considerable. It is the rule of the Sergeant-
at•Arms that applicants for admission to the
Strangers' Gallery with member's orders should
have the right of entree according to the
order in which they arrive ; and it may be
imagined that some of the more enthusiastic poli-
ticians and those interested in taxable commodities
likely to be effected, arrived very early this morn-
ing. Some were in attendance as soon as eight
o'clock, bringing with them bread, meat, cheese,
and beer, in order to sustain themselves during
their weary stay. By 10 o'clock there were
more persons waiting than the gallery
would accommodate, and those that arrived after
that time would have little chance of gaining ad-
mission. Amongst the parties " well up" were
numbers of peculiar looking individuals, just the
sort of persons who would feel no interest in the
statement one way or the other, and after inquiry
it was discovered that those parties had been
engaged by several gentlemen, at fees varying
from half-a•sovereign to half-a-crown, "to keep
the seats warm," which they had secured
early in the morning, whilst they transacted their
business during the day ; the possessors of the
orders engaging to return and relieve the sitters
before four o'clock. Made up of such materials, it is
not to be wondered at that the proceedings of the
day were not of an entirely intellectual character.
By direction of the Sergeant-at-Arms, the gallery
is to be opened at an hour earlier than usual, so as
to afford as much accommodation as possible to the
public.

THE T

rREECE,

A letier from Athens of the 3d inst. gives the
following details of the proceedings of the Senate in
respect to the adoption of the Prince of Denmark as
King of Greece :

" ATHENS, April 3.

" In the sitting of the 30th of March the Senate unani-
mously proclaimed Prince William of Denmark King of
Greece. The text of the decree voted by the Assemb'y is
as follows : _ _ _

" Art. 1. Prince Christian William Ferdinand Adolphus
George, second son of Prince Christian of Denmark, is
proclaimed Constitutional King of the Greeks, under the
name of George 1., King of the Greeks.
" ' Art. 2. His legitimate successors shall profess the or-
thodox law of the East.

' Art. 3. A commission of three members, selected by
he National Assembly, sha I proceed to Copenhagen to offer
the Crown to the Prince in the name of the Greek nation.'

" Immediately afterwards the members of the Assembly
proceeded in a body to the Cathedral, where a solemn Te
Deum was chanted, and 101 guns announced the cere-
mony, presided over by the Archbishop of Athens, sur-
rounded by his clergy. The members of the Provisional
Government, the holy synod, the archbishops present at
Athens, and all the high dignitaries and officers of the
Government attended.
" Whea the Te Deum was over, the President and the
representatives, as also all the members of the Provisional
Government, proceeded to the square in front of the Palace,
where a review of the troops was held, to the shouts of
Long live George 1., King of the Greeks ?
" At night the city was illuminated.
" Another decree rendered by the National Assembly
refers to the cession of the lonian Islands. It is couched
as follows :

" ‘ The Second National Assembly of the Greeks at

Athens--

" ' Taking into consideration the declaration made in the
speech of 11.31, the Queen of Great Britain, pronounced on
the opening of the British Parliament, concerning the ces-
sation of the protectorate of England over the lonian
Islands, as also the communications on the same subject
made to the Provisional Government by the Envoy Extra-
ordinary of the said Power, a benefactor of Greece ;
"' Making it.elt, after the election which has just taken
place of the King of the Greeks, the interpreter of the
wishes of the nation, decrees :
"' 1. The Greek nation expresses its ardent wish to see
the Greek State cf the lonian Islands united as soon as
possible under the constitutional sceptre of George 1.,
King of the Greeks, to Greece, which is now free.
" ' 2. Thanks are offered to her Majesty the Queen of
Great Britain by the Greek nation, for the benevolent in-
tention she has already mani'ested as regards the accom-
plishment of the ardent wish of the Greek nation.
".' 2. The Executive Power is caarged to communicate
this decree to the proper quarter.' "

SURREY THEATRE.

The success predicted for the " sensation "
drama " Jessie Ashton, or London by Day and
Night," is now being verified nightly, and an ample
return will be the reward of the great exertions of
Mr. Shepherd, the sole lessee of this favourite
place of amusement. As a specimen of stage
"mounting," the drama is a perfect masterpiece,
as nearly every other scene is one of the most
elaborate description. The "cellar in the old house"
is a very striking and original picture, and the
next that equals it is the exterior of the same build-
ing. In this scene we have one of the most telling
situations of the drama, viz., the first escape of
Jessie Ashton, and the bravery with which Miss
par coeffotrhtedescends tohueser, to the river is perfectlyope from the uppermost

Space precludes us from entering into

which the "fire at the Golden Tankard" is arranged,
and the extreme truthfulness and beauty with which
the last scene—" New Westminster-bridge, the
River, and the Houses of Parliament by moonlight"
—is painted. As a scenic illusion it is one of the
most remarkable ever seen, and of itself will be con
sidered quite sufficient to repay a visit.

It is rumoured that the late director of Her
Majesty's Theatre is preparing for publication s
" History of the Opera" during the period of his connection
with that theatre. Such a work cannot fail to possess great
interest for the musical and artistic world, since the mate-
rials for its composition must be of extraordinary value, in-
cluding personal anecdote, correspondence, and other de-
tails of varied character.

Although the supply of beasts on offer in to-day's mar-
ket was only limited, the demand for all kinds ruled very
inactive, at Monday's decline in the quotations. Sheep, the
show of which was only moderate, met a dull inquiry. In
prices, however, no further change took place. The best

Houses for drying the seed of forest trees and
nurseries have been established by the French Go-
vernment to satisfy the demands of the planters. The Go-
vernment have now six drying-houses, and it is calculated
that these establishments can supply annually from 15,000
to 20,000 kilogrammes of seed—a quantity sufficient to sow
5,000 acres; 473 nurseries were established in 1861, and
359 were added to them in 1862, capable of produeiag
40,000,000 plants. These nurseries are spread over the
immense surface which it is proposed to plant. Many of
them situated near the large towns are so admirably ma-
naged that they may compete with the most celebrated
private establishments. Nothing, in fact, has been
neglected to encourage the planting of the waste moun-
tain lands, and annual conferences havo been organised
for this purpose among all the agents appointed by the
Government.

THE FRAUDS BY AN ASSISTANT INCOME TAX
COLLECTOR, AT LEEDS.—Yesterday, at the Leeds
borough sessions, a young man named Stephen Ounsworth
collectoYr
was indicted for uttering counterfeit coin under the follow-
duties. On the 10thof

Ounsworth's father•in-law, called for the balance of sivr;
Harris's account, the latter gentleman showed him the.
medal. Mr. Thompson took it from Mr. Harris, gave him
a good sovereign for it, and threw it on the fire. On the
16th February the prisoner visited Mr. Moses Atkinson, to
obtain £3 158. Mr. Atkinson paid him the money, but
whilst he was turning to get a pen and ink for the receipt the
prisoner said that two of the coins were "flying horse"
medals, upon which Mr. Atkinson exchanged them for two
sovereigns. In the latter case it was conclusively shown
that Mr. Atkinson had received the four sovereigns and
two £5 notes a day or two previously, from Mr. Briggs,
cloth merchant, Leeds ; that he had wrapped up the gold
in the notes and had not touched them afterwards
until Ounsworth called. Mr. Briggs and Mr. Atkin-
son both declared their belief in the goodness of the coins
which the latter gentleman had thus paid to Ounsworth.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced
to twelve months' imprisonment.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Although the supply of beasts on off-r in to-day's mar-
ket was only limited, the demand for all kinds ruled very
inactive at Monday's decline in the quotations. Sheep, the
show of which was only moderate, met a dull inquiry. In
prices, however, no further change took place. The best
Downs in the wool sold at 5s 8d pet 81134. We have to re-
port a steady inquiry for lambs at extreme r..tes, viz , 6s 4d
to 7s 6d pf.r Sibs. The supply of calves being on the in-
crease, the veal trade was heavy at 2d per 81bs. less money.

Execution at Hereford.

Yesterday morning William Hope, who was sen-
tenced to death at the last Herefordshire assizes for
the murder of Mary Corbett, at Ullingswick, was
hanged in front of the Hereford county gaol, and
no public execution having taken place there for
more than a quarter of a century, the event was
entirely an exceptional one, as was the cause which
led to it.

,liebPurtis°heorr:l
It may be remembered that Hope had been proved
to have been drinking at a beer-house in Ullinga-
wick (a retired agricultural village about eight
miles from Hereford) when the ill-fated deceased,
Mary Corbett, a young girl of 16, came to the house
on an errand for her mistress. The prisoner ac-
costed her, and a few words passed between them,
asked her to

soner with the murder. The ground was soft,
and had received the impression of a person kneel-
ing down, the knee -mark having been made
by a person wearing peculiarly ribbed and patched
trousers, and exactly corresponding with
those worn by the prisoner. There was also
blood upon his linen and trousers, and a basket
which he had in his possession on the night of the
murder was found near where the struggle took.

stuffed into the hollow trunk of a tree. Altoget!der
the chain of evidence was complete against hirii,and
the fact that he was a ticket-of-Itave man, and had
been several times convicted, was also against him.
There was a great crowd of persons in front of
the gaol, but their behaviour was orderly. The
wretched murderer confessed his crime.

Cantab led at a good pace, followed by Oliver Twist, The
Flat, with Mytton, Wellington, and Princess Dagmar well
up. Before half a mile had been covered the Cineas geld-
ing, Gehazi, and Nancy were beaten off, and the riders of
the two first mentioned finding it hopeless to pursue the
chase, wisely pulled up their horses as soon as the water-
jump had been cleared. Oliver Twist waited upon Cantab
until reaching the f. nee jumping on to the race ground,
where Cantab fell. The Flat and Oliver Twist, side by
aide, raced from this point to within 100 yards of the judge's
box,
when Oliver came away and won easily by half a
length. The Flat beat Mytton a length, and Wellington
was a bad fourth ; Cantab walked to the enclosure, but did
pass the post.

THE CHANCELLOR'S BUDGET.

This morning au extraordinary scene was pre-
sented in the approaches of the House of Commons,
showing the great interest the announcement to be
made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer has ex-
cited. For many days the Sergeant-at-Arms, Lord
Charles Russell, has been overwhelmed with appli-
cations for orders for the gallery this evening, and
every member has been solicited for his
order also. As it is more than possible
that each of 650 odd members have given
their order of admission to the Strangers' Gallery,
and as the said locality will only accommodate at
the most about 150 or 200 persons, the number of
persons doomed to disappointment will be some-
what considerable. It is the rule of the Sergeant-
at•Arms that applicants for admission to the
Strangers' Gallery with member's orders should
have the right of entree according to the
order in which they arrive ; and it may be
imagined that some of the more enthusiastic poli•
ticians and those interested in taxable commodities
likely to be effected, arrived very early this morn-
ing. Some were in attendance as soon as eight
o'clock, bringing with them bread, meat, cheese,
and beer, in order to sustain themselves during
their weary stay. By 10 o'clock there were
more persons waiting than the gallery
would accommodate, and those that arrived after
that time would have little chance of gaining ad-
mission. Amongst the parties " well up" were
numbers of peculiar looking individuals, just the
sort of persons who would feel no interest in the
statement one way or the other, and after inquiry
it was discovered that those parties had been
engaged by several gentlemen, at fees varying
from half-a-sovereign to half-a-crown, " to keep
the seats warm," which they had secured
early in the morning, whilst they transacted their
business during the day ; the possessors of the
orders engaging to return and relieve the sitters
before four o'clock. Made up of such materials, it is
not to be wondered at that the proceedings of the
day were not of au entirely intellectual character.
By direction of the Sergeant-at-Arms, the gallery
is to be opened at an hour earlier than usual, so as
to afford as much accommodation as possible to the
public.
