CRICKET.

SURREY CLUB AND GROUND v. CLAPTON CLUD.—This
match—and one of the extraordinary matches of the
season it proved—was played at the Oval on Monday
and yesterday. The weather, however, not only spoilt
the contest as far as much of the play was concerned,
but as had reference to the attendence of spectators.
The ground on Monday was wretchedly heavy ; and
that fact, supported by some instances of indifferent
fielding by the Surrey, and excellent batting on the part
of the Clapton, tended to the result that the former were
beaten in one innings by 81.

White and pink started with a slight lead; but the
superiority of Cook (who has frequently distinguished
himself as a crack sculler) and partner was soon mani-
fested. They won by five lengths.

SUICIDE IN A LOFT.—Monday morning con-
siderable alarm was created among the inhabitants of
Broadwall, Blackfriars-road, in consequence of a man,
named George Evans, aged nineteen, committing suicide
under the following circumstances :—lt appears that the
deceased was a carpenter, and occupied a small shop ina
Broadwall, Blackiriars-road. For some time past he,
had been in a low and desponding state of mind, owing
to matters of a pecuniary nature. At an early hour
yesterday he was discovered suspended by a rope to a
beau in a carpenter's loft, apparently dead. He was
cut down, and promptly seen by a surgeon, but all
efforts to restore life were useless Information was for-
warded to Mr. Carter, the coroner, who will hold an in.
quest on the body.
