WEDDED LOVE.

BY THE LATE W. BAYLEY, ESQ.
Not published in His Works.
Ye powers, who taught my artless sighs
A kindred heart to gain,
Teach me that blessing still to prize,
And as I prize, maintain.
Let kind attention, pleasing care,
O'er all my thoughts preside ;
Let love in ev'ry glance appear,
And ev'ry action guide !
If e'er a cloud of peevish spleen,
Our brighter hours o'ercast,
Let fancy quickly shift the scene
To fond endearments past :
O'er ev'ry joy our breasts have felt,,
Let faithful memory rove,
And teach the hard'ning heart to melt
At recollected love !
Thus ev'ry flow'r that forpfd the wreath
Of Hymen's festive chain
Uninjur'd fragrance still shall, breathe,
And ev'ry charm retain :
Thus while our hearts delighted prove

Our envied bliss secure,—
We'll boast the joys of wedded love,
As perthanent as pure !

CRICKET MATCH FOR 1,000 SOVEREIGNS.
The Return Match between the Hampshire and Sussex
Clubs commenced on Monday in Bramshill Park, in the pre-
sence of a very great assemblage of visitors. Several of the
players have been changed, and the play has in consequence
been inferior to that in the first game. J. Broadbridge's bat-
ting and bowling is greatly missed by the Sussex gentlemen,
Whose scoring: it will be seen has fallen short of the match in
Petworth Park. The following is a statement of the first
innings, which was played on Monday. The second was begun
in the evening, but could not be concluded.

GREENWICH ROWING MATCH.

This Match was made between six watermen belonging to
Greenwich, to row for prizes given by subscription of thein-
habitants f Greenwich and its neighbourhood. The first man
was to be entitled to a new wherry valued at 231., the second
was to receive in cash 51., the third 21. 10s., the fourth 21., the
fifth-11. 10s., and the last 1/. The names of the watermen ap-
pointed were as follow :

• FIRST HEAT. SECOND HEAT.
C. Warner - - Pink W. Brown - - Green
J. Field - - Dark Blue S. Weeks - Orange
G. Petrie Yellow T. Everson - Sky Blue
For the third heat the second and third men of the two former ,
heats rowed against each other, and the two best of those-four
rowed with the victors in the first and second heat, to settle
which two should be-entitled to the last grand heat. The dis-
tance was the whole length of Greenwich and back again, mak-
ing in all about two miles and a half. At about half after 11,
the. Pink, Dark Blue, and Yellow, started for the first heat,
and with very little trouble it was won by Yellow, who kept
a-head the whole way. In the second heat Orange was equally
victorious, and of the third heat, Pink and Green coming in
first became entitled to be placed with Yellow and Orange for
the fourth heat. They were not, however, able to advantage
themselves any thing by this fresh chance, for the two latter
distanced them en the whole way by some boats length, which
brought the match to the final heat; and this was, perhaps, the
best contest of the whole. Both boats kept pretty close to one-
another nearly the whole way, though it was evident that
Yellow's surerior strength . was enough to enable him at any
time to bear away the belle; or in this instance, the boat from
his antagonist. The match was not over till 7 o'clock, and
the order in which the boats were entered for the prizes, was—
Yellow, 1; Orange, 2; Green, 3; Pink, 4; Sky Blue, 5;
Dark Blue, 6. -
