CRICKET.

It would appear that there is to he no end to this manly
game in Sussex; for on Thursday last, after a heavy fall of
rain, a first-rate match was commenced in Brown's grounds at
Brighton—got up chiefly through the instrumentality of Lord
Vernon (a liberal subscriber) and C. Taylor, Esq. Nine
gentlemen, with Pilch and Caldecourt, were opposed to eleven
of the best selected players in Sussex. The players having
won the toss, went in first, and succeeded in scoring the extra-
ordinary number of 235 runs in their first innings—Box, tin.:
best wicket-keeper in England, having obtained 90 from his
own bat; and Napper, a young player, 46, and not out. The
gentlemen commenced their first innings at three o'clock on
Friday, and having, lost three wickets, including Caldecourt,
for a few runs, Pilch and Taylor succeeded, and on these two
players (without doubt the two finest batsmen in the kingdom)
the gentlemen rested their hopes, and neither seemed disposed
to disappoint the expectations formed of them. Both conti-
nued batting in a tirst.rate style till a quarter to five, when
Ewens, who had succeeded Lillywhite as a bowler, delivered
his second ball with considerable power, which, unfortunately,
rising suddenly, struck Mr. Taylor a severe blow on the eye,
which accident put an end to the game for the day. Mr.
Taylor was not the only one who experienced a taste of the
disasters to which cricketers are exposed. Box had received
a severe blow on the nasal organ from one of the " ploughboy's"
balls, and Milyard had one of his fingers disjointed. Pilch
and Taylor were still in ; when the stumps were struck for the
day, the former's score standing at 28, and Mr. Taylor's at 25.
The game was resumed yesterday morning, and the two latter
players began to bat in their usual splendid style, when
Brown, the fastest bowler in England, was put on, and his
first ball lowered Mr. Taylor's wicket, whose score stood at
31. Pilch played in his usual admirable manner, and made
a splendid score. The players got very good innings the
second turn. A consultation was held immediately after the
wickets were struck, when it was resolved to conclude this in-
teresting match on Monday, and the players were engaged
accordingly.

Before the game began, we are credibly informed that
Lord Vernon, with the view of showing his desire to promote
the success of this sport, promised Box and Pilch, a shilling a
run for every one they got, and the subjoined score will show
(if the above report is true, which we have no reason to doubt)
that those two excellent players have not only been most for-
tunate, but have maintained their reputation as first-rate
cricketers :

A CuuRcHwARDEN.--A medical gentleman was
lately called in to attend the dying functionary, who was not
conversant with expressions out of the vulgar tongue. " I
have a great soreness in my breast," said the warden.
" That arises," said the Doctor, from " a febrile affec-
tion in the thorax. Bat, pray lent we aik you, do you
ezpe("orate ?" " Exp2ct a rate !" the ehurel..,7arden,
" no, Sir, thank God, that parish business is settled—l made
a rate last week."

TATTERSALL' S—YESTERDd Y.
A thin attendance and no betting, the majority of the sub-
scribers havine taken wing, some to Newmarket, and others
for the preserves. We understand that the Gulnare colt was
backed at Heaton Park for the Derby, at 14 to 1.

The Newmarket First October Meeting commences this
day with a list of only average attraction. The principal
stakes are the Grand Duke Michael, St. Leger, Hopeful,
and Rutland. Grey Momu; is the favourite for the first two,
and will doubtless be backed at odds against the field, no-
thing, look'3g at the public running, having any chance except
Barcarolle, who has a few friends for the Michael Stakes.
Bulwark is in the Hopeful Stakes, upon which there has not
as yet been any betting. The fields are likely to be small.
