CRICKE7:

A some what nov.l match of cricket was played on Wednes-
day between two female parties (mar. to d and single), in a field
in the rear of a newly e,ceted public-house near Westend. '
The fineness of the we,ther and the novelty of the scene drew
togeth,r an immense concourse of sp. ctators, aho signified
their delight by repeated rounds of applau,e. 01 the whole,
there could not have been less than 3 000 persons present.
The ph,yir,g commenc,d in tight earnest at tw.,lve o'clock, the
rn,rried ladies going in fist, scoring 22 runs ; the damsels then
took the bat and seer, d 18. Tue dames then went in again
aid scored 27, making 49 ; the young ladies then went in and
got 34, thus-beating their opponents by thre-.! runs only. After
the two first inoiogs, bets, Ivo-yin!! from 2 to 1 to 5 to 2, were
freely off, ea on the d ladies, and as freely taken. The
fielding and bitting of Miss Ann Cleaver, of Bitterne, and the
Misses Caroline snd Pat lence Lee, were particularly admired;
indeed. they may be safely backed against any three boys under
18. The bowling of Mrs. Carter, on the married side, was
also very good. The peculiar manner of the ladies in stopping
arid catching, or attempting to catch, the ball was highly
amusing. When the game wao over they all sat down to a
comtortable tea provided by the landlady, and concluded the
day's sport by a dance in the evening.—Hampshire Adrertiser.

ASSIc:RTIONS OF AN ANTI-I'AG-
TESTANT LONDON CLERGYMAN."

" The Church of England is not a Protestant Nardi,
and I call upon all whom it may concern to show upon what
grounds they link the cause of the Church of England with
that of Protestantism. The term is never-used in any o'
the formularies of the Church."—" I urn speaking of mat-
ters of fact—the Church of England not a Protestant
Church, and has no connection with Protestantism. For
myself, I abhor Protestantism in all its shapes, and I regret
ex,:eedingly that n loose manner of speaking should ever
lead members of the Catholic Church of Christ in Eng6ntl
to disgrace themselves. I, for one, look upon the IL fn--
mation as an event greatly to be deplored."—" Should the
Church of England fall, I should have no hesitation in
avowing my adherence to the Church of Rome."—" Ab-
Eorrea Prntestantism."—" England and Geneva against
Rome, instead of trying to conefli3te Rolm-, and fighting
with her against Geneva_"

TO THE ED 17'0 R OF THE SUN.
SlR—Such is the notion of one of the subordinate
Clet-gy in the diocese of London, accordinsr to his ano-
nymous letter which appedrs in The Sun of Oat. 9. That
it will bear test or not, remains "to show." First, let him
refer to the rubric at the commencement of the Form of
Prayer and Titnnksgiving appointed by Act of Parliament
for the sth of November, in which it is ordcrad that that
Act of the 3d of James I. should ly, distinctly, and
p'aialy read by the -parochial minister after morning pater
or sermon on that day. Secondly, being one who has sub-
scribed to the Articles of Religion which are- imposed on
ministers of the Establishment, let him look at the 37th,
snd then, perhaps, he may perceive that Rome cannot ex-
pect the adherence of any person who has, as layman or
elerg. man, ranged himself with the opposite, or anti-Papal
cause. Again, if be be not sAisfied from the language of
the sth of November's service—whether as relating to the
Gunroom d-r Plot, or to the coming over of William, husband
of Mary ll.—he ii ould do well to consider tiro Protestant
character of a few places in the New Tot:lrma. Not to
touch on the Apocalypse, the Epistle to Titus and the2d
to the Thessalonians especially, may bc referred to wan
advantage : and until the coming of Chri4t, the brightness
whereof OA destroy the Wicked, Antichrist is consuming
away by the Spirit of the Lord's mouth, even by that word
of the Gospel which forbids PopcOotn.
