THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE CRICKET

MATCH.

The cricket match between Oxford and Cambridge
began yesterday at Lord's Ground. The following are the
sides :
Oxford--Messrs. /3. Pauncefote (captain), C. F.
Francis, E.F.S. Tylecote, T. H. Belcher, A. T. Fortescue,
W. Townshend, S. E. Battey, W. H. Hadow, C. J.
Ottaway, F. H. Hill, and W. A. Stewart.
Cambridge—Messrs. W. B. Money, J. W. Dale, C. J.
Thornton, W. Yardley, F. G. R. Fryer, A. T. Scott,
F. B. Cobden, F. A. Mackinnon, A. A.Browne,F. Tobin,
and E. E. Ward.
Cambridge having won the toss, Dale and Tobin were
the pair selected to commence defensive operations.
Francis bowled the first over from the Pavilion wicket,
and Dale got a 2 to Square-leg off his second ball. Bel-
cher shared the attack with Francis, and Dale got the
first cheer for a 4 to the Tavern off his third over.
Most of the hitting was done by Dale, who was in
fine form, as, when Francis bowled him in his
tenth over, he had made 15 out of the 20 then re-
corded. Money was first wicket down, and began by
driving Francis forward for 2. The score being exactly
doubled, Tobin was sent back by Francis, having made 13
by very steady play, Yardley in. Here Money was un-
lucky enou,gh to play a ball on. Yardley only scored one ;
but when Scott came in the hitting became more brisk,
and the century was completed in precisely two hours.
The score, as received by telegraph, stands thus : Can-
terbury, 147 ; Oxford, 175.
Play will be continued to-day at 11.30.

The Bombay Government is said to have pre-
sented a splendid collection of objects of art and industry
of this presidency to the Imperial Museum at Vienna.
During the months of March and April the bodies
of those who fell at Solferino and San Martino were ex-
humed. According to the terms of the law it was neces-
sary to wait for ten years before the ceremony of exhuma-
iton took place. The corpses of 7,300 French, and 2,000
Piedmontese troops were discovered.

THE LATE DANIEL MACLISE, R.A.—The second
day's sale of the remaining works of this distinguished
artist took place on Saturday at the rooms of Messrs.
Christie, Manson, and Woods, in King-street, St. James's.
The great attractions were the following :—" The Witches
in Macbeth," and " Prospero and Miranda "—(two
examples)-128gs. " Duncan's Last Sleep," a splendid
picture-191gs. " The Earls of Desmond and Ormonde,"
the grand work now being exhibited at the Royal
Academy. " Desmond, wounded, and taken prisoner,
was borne from the field by some of Ormonde's men, who
made a litter for the purpose, which they slung across
their shoulders :

" ' Where now,' asked the victor, ' this is the great Earl
of Desmond?'
" In his proper place,' retorted Geraldine, witty as he
was wild—' on the necks of the Butlers."
500 gs. The picture will be delivered to the purchase,(Mr.
M`Lean) at the close of the exhibition of the Royal Aca-
demy. The grand cartoon of the meeting of Wellington
and Blucher, designed for the Royal Academy, was
knocked-down at the price of 300 gs. Great applause fol-
lowed the adjudication, when Mr. Woods, from the ros-
trum, announced that this grand cartoon was secured for
the Royal Academy. The grand gallery picture, by Mr.
Maclise, of " Merry Christmas in the Baron's Hall," for-
merly the property of the late Mr. Benjamin Gibbons, of
Athol House, Edgbaston, was the last picture submitted,
by order of the Court of Chancery. It was knocked down
at 200g5., but not sold. A fine bust of Mr. Maclise, by
John Thomas, executed in 1859, closed the sale ; it went
for 21gs. Of the copies from old masters, the principal
example was the " Blue Boy," after Gainsborough. This
was sold to the Earl of Normanton for 26gs.

FIRE IN LAMBETH.—On Sunday night, a few
minutes before twelve o'clock, a destructive fire broke out
on the premises of Mr. Rogers, oil and colourman, 149,
Kennington-lane, Lambeth. Owing to the inflammable
nature of the contents of the premises in less than five
minutes they were on fire from top to bottom. The fire-
escape at Kennington-cross was brought up to the spot at
once and planted against the adjoining house, and at the
same moment Mr. Rogers, his wife and chiid were rescued,
just as they were sinking exhausted from the intense heat
and smoke in which they were enveloped. The stock,
furniture, and everything in Mr. Roger's house were
destroyed, the rapidity of the flames rendering it impossi-
ble to save anything. It is stated that Mr. Rogers was
not insured. The cause of the fire is unknown.

RESTORATION OF WORCESTER CATHEDRAL.—
The appeal by Lord Lyttleton and Sir John Pakington
for subscriptions towards the £15,000 still required to
complete the restoration of Worcester Cathedral is
evoking a liberal response. The Earl of Dudley has
given the munificent donation of £5,000, with-
out any condition as to the cathedral being
used for the musical festivals ; the Dean and
Chapter have promised £2,000 ; and additional
donations amounting to £3,335 have already been re-
ceived, including £SOO from Lord Lyttleton, £IOO from
Lady Lyttleton, £SOO from Messrs. Bernard and Co.,
£250 from Sir John Pakington, £SO from Lady Paking-
ton, £2lO from Mr. A. C. Sheriff, M.P., £IOO from Mr.
P. Amphlett, M.P., and £IOO from the High Sheriff.
Thus no less than £10,335 has already been guaranteed
towards the £15,000 required for the completion of the
work-
LADvEnnsEMENT.—Holloway's Pills.—Mistakes ren-
dered Impossible.—Each box of these admirable pills is
enveloped in a sheet of printed directions, so plain, and
comprehensible that every one who reads must understand
them. Nothing injurious to the human system enters
into the composition of these pills, which never weaken
the feeblest frame. They never can be taken at a wrong
time, nor can they ever cause mischief in any stage of a
disease, Public favour has placed beyond dispute their
merits in curing most disorders, and has bestowed com-
mensurate success on the inventor. Holloway's pills can-
not be surpassed for their safe and curative power in
diseases of the stomach, liver, lungs, heart, head, and
kidneys ; in fact they regulate every corporeal function,

Despite the fall in the value of wheat, and the gene-
rally improved aspect of agricultural affairs, the tone of
the Stock Exchange markets to-day has been depressed,
and the fluctuations have been mostly unfavourable. At
the same time, however, the fall has in no case been im-
portant+ Consols have been flat, at a relapse of per

North Western 1, or to 1291; and North Eastern 1, or to

shews a rise of /, whilst South Eastern is I better, the
quotation being 771.
For Indian railway stocks there has been but littfe in-
quiry, and the movements have been unimportant. Cana-
dian shares have been flat, and Grand Trunk have been
1 lower. In foreign shares no transactions of importance
have been reported.
The market for foreign bonds has been quiet. The
principal feature has been the inquiry for Mexican,
resulting in an advance of 1. the price being 162. Peru-
vian have fallen 1, or to 911; Egyptian (1868), 1, or to
822 ; Spanish (1869), 1-16th, or to 31 1-16th. Turkish

wards in value.

The traffic returns of the London, Brighton, and South
Coast Railway shews an increase of £1,457 over the cor-
responding week of last year.

with capital. The demand for accommodation has not
been active, and three months paper has continued to

At a meeting of the Assam Company the directors,
report was adopted, and a dividend of 31 per cent.,
making, with previous payments, 6 per cent. for the
year, was declared. A balance of £12,112 was carried
forward.

The report of the Buenos Ayres Great Southern Rail-
way, to be presented on the Ist of July, recommends the
creation of additional capital to the extent of £700,000, of
which £160,000 will be first issued, in order to extend the
line to Azul, and eventually to Tandil, a distannce
of
about 17 miles. The work can be executed for about
£4,000 per mile, and the prosperity of the existing line,
which cost £ll,OOO per mile, is considered to afford con-
clusive desirableness of the measure.
The Liverpool Journal of Commerce states :
" The commercial advices from A merica are of a very
discouraging nature. From New York the failure is re-
ported of Messrs. Werner Brothers, engaged as jobbers in
woollens and cloakings, with liabilities estimated to
amount to $220,000, and assets $172,500. The stoppage
is also reported of Messrs. Jones, jun., and Co., wool
dealers, Boston, with liabilities variously estimated at
from $300,000 to' $500,000. Several firms in Philadelphia
are involved by this suspension. The Lawrence Worsted
Company, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, has also stopped
payment."
