CRICKET.

One of the finest Cricket Matches ever played in that part
of the kingdom, took place at Teignbridge on Tuesday. Two
elevens were selected from the Teignbridge, Exeter, and Sid-
mouth Clubs, with two officers of the Tenth Ilussars. The
play commenced at eleven, but the second innings were not
half concluded before night put an end to the sport. It is
highly pleasing to find the noble, manly game of cricket making
such progress in the West of England.
On Friday last the return match of cricket between the Bury
and Newmarket Clubs was played, and decided as follows:
Bury, Ist innings - 188
Newmarket, Ist innings 55 ; second ditto, 37 112-76
On Monday last the return match at cricket was played on
Midsummer-common, between 11 gentlemen of the Biggles-
wade Club, and 11 of the Union Club, in Cambridge, and won
by the latter by a majority of 24 runs.
A match between the Wakefield and Huddersfield New
Clubs was decided as follows :-
Ist Innings. 2d Innings.
Wakefield - 107 . 115—_227
Huddersfield - 21 - - 15-- 36
A match last Friday, between the Harewood and Leeds Old
Clubs, v .•.s won by Leeds, with five wickets to go do down.

FOOT RACE.
The running match, for 25 sov. aside, 'l5O yards, between
Goodman and English, the pugilists, took place yesterday
afternoon at Stock Well. ootlinan took the lead, kept it, and
won in good style by two or three yards, English not having a
chance.

Among the wonders of the present day is an extraordinary
lady, who has chosen to walk from Scotland to London, bare-
foot. She is very lady-like in her manners and dress, and is
endowed with all the comforts of life, as to fortune at least.
When she arrives at an inn, she changes her walking-dress for
fashionable silks and satins.

The Buenos Ayres Mail gives an account of
the safe arrival in the River Plate of the ship
Norval, from Glasgow, with nearly 200 settlers
on board, for Mr. litanca BEAUAIONT'S land, on
the River Plate ; they all appeared in excellent
health and spirits.

ADULTERATED PROVISIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six—The just. indignatiou, which, in com
mon with the public, you have expressed co'
the cruel. and abominable practice of Adulterat

inf.; Provisions, induces me to ask you, or any of
your legal correspondents or readers, how the
wretches are to be punished who are, or may be,
detected in the, infernal practice, now the Pu.-
Loa Y is laid aside ?

The statute, 51st of Henry 111. sec. 6, and
the ordinance for bakers, cap. 7, were enacted
to prevent the sale of such provisions—" Cor-
rupted wine—contagious or unwholesome flesh—
or flesh that is bought of a Jew, under pain of
amercement for the first offence, Pir.holly for
the second, fine and imprisonment for the third,
' and banishment fromthe town for the fourth!—
. Oh, for the PILLORY again, that some of the
worthy Alderman's farmers and rotten sheep
caterers for the poor of London, might get
twine and a taste of rotten eggs at Covent-Gar-
den Market ; and, like tl►e filthy brutes of old
times, leave their ears behind them, after their
hour's turning in the Pillory !
Oh, for the days of good Queen Elizabeth
again, the times of no mawkish (mistaken) hu-
n►ane sentiments, in whose golden reign 38,000
vagabonds, who were not half so criminal as the
Alderman's rotten sheep farmers, had their
necks stretched in England, while thousands
of pairs of ears graced the Pillory in Smithfield.
Oh, for the Pillory again !—Good STATEsstEx,
send us the Pillory again, else we shall all have
the sheep rot—worse than the King's Evil !
The Pillory, the Pillory ! or rotteu mutton ! and
all sorts of disease.

I am, Mr. Editor, yours truly,
A MUTTON EATER IN DISTRESS.
Temple, August 25.

[Our Friend, " A MUTTON EATER tY DIS.
TaLss," need only refer to the 51 Geo. 3, and he
will there find that crimes theretofore punished
by the p;1Iory, ate now to be punished by fine
and imprisonment, or imprisonment and hard
labour, in the discretion of the Judge before
whom the party is tried. We speak from me-
mory, and therefore refer our Correspondent to
Tyitwnivr and TYNDALE'S Digest of the Sta-
tutes title PILLORY, where he will find the whole
law properly digested.]

By the Rinaldo packet from Jamaica, letters
and papers have been received to the 12th of
July, but they contain no news. The packet
has brought home dispatches from Admiral HAL.
sTED, on the Jamaica station. Miss RowcROFT,
(laughter of tl►e late Consul General for Peru,
has arrived passenger by this packet.

MISS PATON.—It may be fairly said of this
popular favourite that she would make a distin-
guished figure on the Stage, as a comic actress,
even if she did not possess such pre-thinent
musical powers. The Daily Prints, we are glad
to find, cease to persecute her on a subject
which, after all, is nothing to the public, but
which, we are persuaded, will in due time be
developed to her credit. As a proof of the esti-
mation in which she is held by the theatrical
community, we have only to look at the prepa-
rations for her benefit night, where we find that
BRAIIAM, COOPER, BROADHURST, THORNE,
BARTLEY, Miss HAMILTON, Miss GOWARD, and
that admirable ac:ress Miss KELLY, are all in
amicable array to give attraction and eclat to the
occasion.

Mr. KEAN made his appearance at Manchester
last Saturday evening in the part of King Richard
the Second, in the play, and Baron Willinghurst,
in the farce of Of Age To•morrote.--This was
his farewel performance previous to his depar-
ture for America. lie is to leave Liverpool in a
few days for the United States. Being called
for by the party in his favour, after he had re-
tired, he returned to the Stage, and made a very
long speech in defence of his conduct, in the
course of which he was not sparing in his stric-
tures upon Statesmen, Bishops, and even the
Throne itself. This rhapsody, however, was re-
ceived with great applause, and he retired
amidst the shouts of his admirers.

T. P. CooKE, the hero of Melo Drame, and
REEVES, the comic actor, are engaged by TERRY
and YATES to perform at the Adeiphia Theatre.
We are extremely sorry to announce the death
of FRANCIS JONES, Esq. of Brunswick-square, a
solicitor of considerable practice, which took
place at eleven o'clock yesterday morning,in con-
sequence of the great injuries which he sustained
in the New Road, near St. Pancras New Church,
by his chaise coming in contact with a coal-wag-
gon ; the violence of the shock threw him out of
the chaise, and the wheels passed over him. lie
was conveyed to Messrs. Bagster and Pretty's,
Mabledon-place, surgeon, in almost a lifeless
state, where ho was treated with the greatest
kindness.

COMBINATION AMONG THE SHEARERS.—An im-
mense concourse of shearers assembled yesterday morning in the
Grassmarket, and two shillings and sixpence were generally
offered early in the day, as wages, at which rate many were
hired. These perstms were proceeding, in carts, to their re-
spective destinations, when about half a dozen of stout fel-
lows, Irishmen, interfered, and would not permit any to leave
the market, who were not to receive one pound per week, or
three shillings and fourpence per day, with victuals. This caus-
ed considerable confusion, and prevented those who were Will-
ing to work, at the wages offered, from leaving the market. One
fellow, who seemed particularly active, and who upset a cart,
and assaulted the driver, was brought to the police-office, and
fined ten shillings and sixpence by the Sitting Magistrate. The
fine was paid by one of his companions, and the party re-
turned to the market, but did not proceed to further acts
of violence. A strong body of police were by this time,
(twelve o'clock), perambulating the Grassmarket. •The great
body of the shearers were then hired at two shillings per day.--
The wages generally given to shearers yesterday, at Linton and
Tranent, were two shillings. Very few were hired, the harvest
being nearly over in East Lothian.—(Edinburgh Observer,
Aug;. 30.)
CAPTURE OF JOrINSON TIIE HORSESTEALER.—
This man, against whom so many charges are
made of stealing horses, arrived in town this
morning in the custody of the officers.
AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.—An
elderly gentleman, in the act of passing down
Oxford-street, about eleven o'clock this morn-
ing, suddenly fell down and expired. From a
note found in his pocket, his name appears to be
W ilson.
