DEATH FROM INJURIES AT CRICKET.—On Mon-
day evening a youth, named Barker, .19 years of
age, employed in a cotton-broker's office in Liverpool, vritS
playing cricket at Now Brighton, near Liverpool, when )10
was struck on the temple by the ball, and died shortly
afterwards from the effects of the blow.

LADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIowpy's pills aro the most gentle
yet most effective aperients, and therefore better calculated
for a family medicine than any ,other drug. They always
set the stomach right, rouse the liver, stimulate the kid-
neys, and thoroughly cleanse the whole system. Hollo-
way's pills are most useful in chronic weakness of the
stomach, induced by luxurious living, sedentary habits, of
other causes. They have restored the emaciated to health
after every other means had failed. While they are puriff-
ing they aro strengthening ; while regulating they are
in-
creasing nervous and muscular power. These pills do not
excite any violent action in the body, hence.they are spe-
cially suited to the young and feeble, whose constitutions
may be irretrievably injured by more poWerful medicines.

Davis's Correspondence.

The Boston Advertiser of the Ist instant contains
the following :

It was announced some time ago by telegraph that some
of the personal baggage of Jefferson Davis had been cap-
tured by our troops under General Vodges in Florida, and
that in the trunks taken were many letters and papers
which might prove of value to our Government and of in-
terest to the public. We have received copies of several
of these captured letters, the authenticity of which cannot
be doubted, and find in them much readable matter.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in a letter to her husband, dated
March, 1868, at Montgomery, gives an odd glimpse at an
incident commonplace enough in a slaveholding commu-
nity, and reproves herself very naively for a bit of incon-
sistent humanity:—
" The poor girl I thought of buying appealed to me as
the wife of the President to take her out of the tavern, and
looking so weary, said, lam so tired of being bought by
first one negro trader and then another. If you have a
little girl, as they say you have, I will wait upon her till I
die, if she will only be good to me.' It was an extravagant
kind of sympathy, which I felt self-reproved for afterwards
though upon inquiry her character proved unexceptionable,
I have found Jeffie D. a very good boy, (tc."
In the same letter Mrs. Davis photographs with feminine
accuracy and feminine impatience the state of Southern
feeling in Central Alabama. She is writing, it should. be
remembered, ()Lille " first families" of Montgomery :
"I never saw such stupified people as they seem out
hero. They never seem to think of any army but that of
the West, and not to feel much interest in that. I asked
the news the other day, and was answered nothing ;,,
and upon seeing the paper found there had been an en-
gagement and victory at Vicksburg. They feel the war
but little hero, and everybody seems to be speculating.
Colonel Powell is in trouble here, and I fear his having,
from a very moderate means, raised the money for three
plantations since he took contracts from the Government,
looks very bad. I have felt so unhappy about the reported
attack on Richmond, and every time a paper comes feel
faint at the first note of danger. From your letter I think
you feel depressed. Is it so ? "

The two letters from General Lee, bearing date last De-
cember, are rather stiffly worded, as a soldier's military
missives are permitted to be. He says he thinks Grant is
preparing to make a movement against his lines, and re-
marks, perhaps sarcastically, " All we want to resist them
is men."

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
tion of A ItTIFICIAL TEE I' Ii filed wit hoot springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly re,emble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teethi ever before used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastioa-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

phalanx will not have the field to themselves as
they so confidently predicted at the outset of the
struggle, nor even find the good " working ma-
jority" such a saving clause as they imagine. It
may fairly be asked, What is this wonderful working
majority wanted for ? The term has a respectable
sound, and is always employed to keep up appear-
ances, and come to the rescue in cases of decided
defeat and doubtful successes ; but it is quite
a falling off in the present instance, when
we had been told of the overwhelming numbers that
would be sure to flock to the standard of the
Premier. Whether the majority is small or large,
it appears to do very much the same if it is headed
by the chiefs of the Whigs and Liberal party, for
they are so divided and cut up into sects and fac-
tions, that to propose a decisive scheme and carry
it out is a feat simply impossible for them to
achieve. It is to be questioned if the country at
large would not benefit more, and if there would
not be more gain to the community, if the Conser-
vatives were in power. They are, at all events,
united, and if they considered this or that change
necessary, they could propose it, but Lord PAL-
MERSTON is so afraid of going too far, and
so anxious that his doubtful allies should
not think he has not gone far enough, that he con-
siders it the wisest thing to do is to stand still.
Except by the most enthusiastic and zealous partisan
of the Government it can hardly be alleged that any
decisive result has followed on the change of parties
since 1859. Circumstances have been propitious in
some respects, but more material advantages are
not all that are required to make a powerful people
contented with their position, or to render a great
country worthy of her mission. Looking at events,
irrespective of party consideration, it may fairly be
said that the present Government thrust themselves
into positions of responsibility for which they were
not fitted; and when we compare their promises
with their performances, we Must admit that the
time which has elapsed since the last general elec-
tion has tried them in the balance and found them

wanting.

Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands hon-
oured the Bishop of London and Mrs. Tait -by
visiting them yesterday afternoon at Fulham Palace.
The Queen, attended by Count Randwjk, Baroness
de Pabst, and Baroness de Dedem, arrived shortly
after 2 o'clock, and in driving up to the entrance
in the courtyard was received by the right rev.
prelate. Immediately after the Queen's arrival
luncheon was announced, There were present to
meet her Majesty—Baron Bentinck (the Nether-
lands Minister), the Bishop of Gloucester And Bristol
and Mrs. Ellicott, the Earl of March, Lord and
Lady Lyvedon, the Right Hon. Sir Thomas and
Lady Fremantle, the Dean of Canterbury, the

In this range the Earl of Aberdeen made the ex-

for Scotland, making altogether 57 points ; Mr.

It would be scarcely necessary to go through the '
different scores at this point in detail, as they will
be found below, but at 900 yards the Scotch party
made a small increase to their majority of 6, the
respective numbers being at this range—Scotlandl
339 ; England, 333 ; and Ireland, 298—giving
Scotland a majority of 6. The next range of 1,000
yards then became the object of the greatest inte-
rest, in which every shot was watched from the re-
spective firing points with the utmost anxiety. The
shooting of Captain Heaton was scarcely equal to
what it has been on former occasions, and the same
remark will apply to Colonel Halford, who was evi-
dently suffering from ill-health, and his physical
condition showed that the steady aim for which he
has been so long celebrated has been seriously
impaired. In the 1,000 yards range he missed
the target three times, and the other points he made
were but a faint representation of his prowess of
former times. It is to be hoped that time and care
will soon restore him to his former condition. Mr.
Fletcher, a most careful shot, contributed 48 ; and
Lieut. Purchas, 49 ; the total number of marks for
the 15 shots each being 343. The Scotch were
most ably represented by Captain Ross and his
sons, Edward and Colin, and nothing could exceed
the splendid shooting of the Earl of Aberdeen, who
made bull's-eyes in such succession that with him it
ceased to be a novelty, and when that honourable
score was not made, it proved rather the exception
than the rule. After one of the most spirited con-
tests ever witnessed at these meetings, the palm of
victory was awarded to England, the total score of
the three ranges being as follows :

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A STRANGE DELUSION.—Mrs. Elizabeth Williamson, an
old Scotch monthly nurse, probably the most incorrigible
drunkard in London, having been charged at this court,
Bow-street, Marylebone, and Westminster above three
hundred times with being drunk, and who has for many
years been a source of much trouble to the police, and
often puzzled the magistrates to know how to do deal with
her, was brought before Mr. Knox, by the parish officers
of St. Martin's, that an order for her admission to Hanwell
Lunatic Asylum might be signed. It appears that for
some time past Mrs. Williamson has been labouring under
.I.le delusion that she had been appointed laundress to the
prinet: of Wales, and on several occasions she has gone to
Marlborough House and caused so much annoyance that
the police have .
had to remove her. Another of her delu-
sions is that the ki::nce of Wales has settled a thousand a
year upon her. These t:.'lusions have at length had such
an effect upon her mind that, it has been found expedient
to place her under restraint.

LITERATURE.

Sketches from Cambridge. By a Don. One Vol.
pp. 144. Macmillan and Co.

This is another and a very agreeable reprint from
the pages of our youthful and sprightly contemporary,
the Pall-Mall Gazette. Quite a companion volume, it
is, to Mr. Anthony Trollope's Hunting Sketches—
clad in similar livery of a bright scarlet, running
pretty nearly to the same length, as light, easy, and
sparkling in the manner of it as those pleasant
chapters on dogs, and horses, and huntsmen,
dashed off helter-skelter, hap-hazard, anyhow by
that most voluble of modern story-tellers. " The
Rowing Man " is here sketched with a pencil
equally rapid and vivacious, and that, moreover,
to the very life by the anonymous Don of the Pall
Mall Gazette—who has an eye as keen afterwards
for the very opposite genus, that of "Reading Men,"
pure and simple. " College Tutors" and " Heads of.
Houses" are persons whom he has no less graphically.
delineated. Thefamous "Union," again—that train-
ing hall of oratory for so many of our Great De-
baters—The Union whence came such orators as
Macaulay., as Bulwer, and as Cockburn—that like-
wise is here very honourably commemorated. " Ath-
letic Sports" generally—" Tuition," good, bad, and
indifferent—" Dons" themselves (as viewed by one
of themselves)—" Mathematics," and what not—
furnish the writer, also, turn by turn, with congenial
themes upon which to expatiate, after a manner
very delightful in its way, because of its being
throughout to wholely unaffected and conversa-
tional,

COLONIAL.

TEA.—Business has remained inactive since the con-
clusion of the public sales, and prices have undergone no
material alteration.

SUGAR.—There has been a fair inquiry for West India,
and fully late rates are maintained. In the refined market
also business continues moderately active at steady prices.
COFFEE.—The demand for colonial descriptions has re-
mained moderate, and plantation Ceylon of superior
qualities have slightly advanced. Native Ceylon and other
descriptions remain at about previous rates.
RICE.—A fair amount of business has been done at full
prices.

EADVERTISEIVIENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Experience beforo Authority.--For nearly tho third of a
century have these remedies stood in the foremost rank for
overcoming ulcers, sores, swellings, rashes, and all descrip-
tions of skin diseases. At first the faculty denounced these
medicaments, but the experience of sufferers soon over-
threw all interested opposition. Those whom Holloway's
medicines had cured told other invalids the benefit they
had derived from their use ; those in their turn tried them,
found equally satisfactory results, and thus are these ad-
mirable curatives used and prized throughout the habitable
globe. Tho ointment has always been applied with the
most marked success in erysipelas, varicose veins, swelled
ankles, and numberless other infirmities by which thou-
sands around us aro sorelyoppressed. •

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The supply both of Kent and Essex produce on sale at
Mark-lane to-day was very moderate. Nearly the whole
came to hand in good condition, yet the trade was slow.
As compared with Monday, however, no quotable change
took place in prices.
About the average supply of foreign wheat was on offer.
American produce was firm in price. Otherwise, the
foreign wheat was quiet, but without alteration in prices
from Monday.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand at late
rates.

Scarcely any English barley was on sale, and prices
ruled nominal. Foreign barley moved off slowly at
previous quotations.

Malt was in moderate request at late rates.
The market was well supplied with oats,
was dull at fully the late decline in prices.
Beans and peas commanded but little attention, and the
quotations were rather drooping.
Flour was in but moderate request at late rates.

GREECE.
ATHENS, JULY 13.

The Chamber has just terminated its verification
of the elections, and is consequently now definitively
constituted. The elections have all been confirmed,
some of them after long and violeUt debates, but
the discUssions and depositions made before the sec-
tions of the Chamber by the persons interested have
only tended to confirm the fact that the elections
have everywhere passed off very satisfactorily, and
that the Government has employed no reprehensible
means to influence the electors. Certain unimpor-
tant illegalities, and a few isolated acts of violence,
which are, moreover, inevitable during elections,
have been the only facts which have transpired.
Nevertheless the contest has been very severe in
certain districts, but this is only to be attributed
to violent passions, and the irritation of the various
parties. These parties are not yet clearly defined,
but the Ministry now appear certain of a majority
of 30 votes, which • may still be increased after the
Ministerial changes which will take place upon the
King's return. The Ministers of the Interior and
Marine have failed to be re-elected, and the Minister
of War did not even solicit the suffrages of the
electors. Constitutionally speaking, however, his
presence in the Cabinet is useless, because it forms
no addition to the Parliamentary strength of the
Ministry. It is therefore more than probable that

the portfolios entrusted to these three Ministers
will shortly become vaoAnt ; and it is already stated
that negotiations have been opened by the President
of the Council with the view of inducing some mem-
bers of the Opposition Coalition, which would thus
be considerably weakened, to enter the Ministry.
An understanding is also spoken of between the
Ministry and that fraction of the Bulgarish party
which was unwilling to adhere to the famous coali-
tion with the adherents of Otho. Numerous signs
of a want of concord between the fractions of the
Opposition have already been manifested during the
verification of the elections.

The people are much disturbed at the daily ex-
tension of the cholera in Turkey. The ravages
made by this malady in Greece in 1854 and 1855
are still within the memory of all. The Govern-
ment have hastened to take every precaution
rendered necessary by the circumstances. All
arrivals from Turkey are submitted to a vigorous
quarantine.

tion of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay. and will
be fbun 1 superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

The Wimbledon Meeting.

WIMBLEDON-COMMON, Thursday Evening.

The absorbing topic of this day's proceedings was
the great contest between eight each of the picked
men of England, Scotland, and Ireland, the latter
competing for the first time, for the honorary pos-
session of the Elcho Shield. The change which had
taken place to admit eight members who were na-
tives of Ireland into the competition naturally in-
vested the contest with more than ordinary interest,
and after tie almost impromptu team which had
been got up, and the manner in which they acquitted
themselves for the possession of the International
Enfield Trcphy, there was a general hope that they
might become the possessors of the prize, although
the realisation of that hope was almost something
more than doubtful. The Irish volunteers, since
they have teen encamped this year on the common,
by their kindly nature, their sparkling wit, and their
truly genial and cordial welcome, have gained the
good opinions of all who have had the happiness to
meet with them ; and it is generally admitted that
Major Leech and Captain O'Connor have done a
great deal to raise the London Irish Volunteers to
a position -which it never before occupied since it
was raised. Next year that feeling will receive a
further extension, when the splendid prize given by
Irishmen resident in London, and at the head of
the subscription list is the Marquis of Donegan,
will be thrown open at this meeting to all English
competitors, as an earnest of the good-will of Irish-
men to the volunteer movement of this country ;
and the only hope that remains is, which will doubt-
less be realised, that there will be entries of such a
number as shall reflect honour upon the donors and
those who may be fortunate enough for the first time
to have their names inscribed on the Challenge
Plate of Ireland. The Scotch and English have
already been honoured with the possession of the
Elcho Shield, twice by England and once by Scot-,
land, but it is one of the pleasing characteristics of
the volunteer movement bhat in the various congests
which take place, whether the side be winning or
losing, there is no angry or jealous feeling, but
solely one that the best team may win. The con-
test was divided into three ranges of 800, 900, and
1,000 yards, 15 shots each at these different ranges.
As a natural consequence the three countries fired
from separate points, and the business of the day
egan at half-past nine o'clock, at 800 yards.
