MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND V. CAMBRIDGE
TOWN AND COUNTY CLUB.--The return match between
these powerful clubs was opened at Cambridge on Mon-
day; the wetness of the weather, however, prevented its
commencement until the afternoon, and according to the
usual run of matches, when they have been preceded by
heavy rains, the party who went in first were those who
ultimately became the victors. Cambridge took the bat
in the first instance, and notwithstanding they were
opposed to the best bowling Lord's Ground could pro-
duce, they numbered no fewer than 222 runs 'ere they
were all displaced. Marylebone then went to the wickets,
but they could not obtain more than 81. They of course
had to follow their innings, and on Tuesday had lost
seven wickets for a score of 54 only. The total score at
this period stood as follows:—Cambridge, 222; Maryle-
bone, first innings, 81; second innings, 54. The match
was to be resumed yesterday morning.

ROYAL ADELAIDE INSTITUTE.—At a meeting of
the council of this body, held on Wednesday at the Ade-
laide Gallery, 'William Carpenter, Esq., in the chair, it
was resolved to close the present exhibition on Saturday
next. A statement of the number of visitors during the
past session was made by the secretary, and also of the
number of pictures sold, and it was unanimously re-
solved to re-open the gallery in the month of May, 1848,
but not to confine the exhibition to paintings excluded
by the Royal Academy, but to throw it open to all
artists. It was stated that several artists of celebrity
had expressed their intention of painting subjects for the
gallery, and that the strongest confidence was expressed
by the council as to the ultimate success of their under-
taking. The artists present expressed their obligations
to the several members of the council for their disin-
terested labours to advance the interests of the fine arts
and of artists; and the announcement of his Royal High-
ness Prince George of Cambridge baring become the
President of the Institute was received with much satis-
faction. In the evening a conversazione was held in the
gallery, which was attended by a large and fashionable
audience. William Carpenter, Esq., read a paper on
the difficulties an artist has to ccntend with in illus-
trating Shaksnere, being the second paper on the sub-
ject; and W. Passworth, Esq., read a paper on " High
Art." Both papers were well received, and the company,
after an address by the chairman, in which he took a
review of the past, and sketched the course which the
council had resolved to take for the future, separated.
