CRICKET MATCH—FRANCE V ENGLAND.-On Monday
and Tuesday last a grand match at cricket was played at
the sweet little village of River, near this place, between
11 cricketers from Calais and 11 in the neighbourhood,
when the men of River, after a severely contested field,
were triumphant, they having seven wickets to go down.
The return match is to be played at Calais Downs shortly.
Much interest was excited by the match, and not fewer
than 3,000 persons were on the ground on the first day.
The hand of the 90th enlivened the scene by playing some
favourite airs, and the accommodation Mr. Knott, of the
" Dublin Man-of War," had provided for the visitors,
added much zest to the pleasures of the occasion.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HIPPODROME RACES-FRIDAY.

The racing commenced yesterday a little after three o'clock
and, in consequence of a dispute as to the qualifications of the
proposed gentlemen jockeys for the Scurry and Open Stakes, and
hich ended in there being none at all for the former, did not
terminate until past seven. The attendance included some of
the fashionables present on Wednesday, but was not so name-
roes as the prolific character of the list had led the proprietor to
anticipate. The falling off is doubtless to be attributed to the
excited state of the public mind as to the recent attempt on
her 3lajesty's life. The following are particulars of the sport :
