CRICK ET.
THE ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. TWENTY-TWO
OF LEAMINGTON.
On Saturday this match was resumed, and carried
on until the approach of darkness bade the drawing of
the wickets. At this period it would appear that the
second innings of the Twenty-two had not been con-
cluded, and therefore, as the Eleven were engaged to
appear at Chelmsford yesterday morning, we presume
the game was drawn. The score stood as follows:—
Leamington, first innings, 107 ; second innings, 59.
England (with three wickets to go down), first in-
nings), 126.

MEER SHAHAMUT ALI.
MANCHESTER, SEPT. 23.—0 n Friday night, Meer
Shahamut Ali, Persian Secretary to the residency at
Indore, arrived in this city, on a visit to the manu-
facturing districts, and took up his temporary resi-
dence at the Palatine Hotel. This morning he
waited upon the Mayor, at the Town Hall, and pre-
sented to his Worship a letter, of which the following
is a copy :
" Office of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade,

Whitehall, Sept. 14, 1848.
" Sir,—The Lords of the Committee of Privy
Council for Trade have directed me to communicate
to you the intention of Meer Shahamut Ali, Persian
Secretary to the residency at Indore, to visit the
town of Manchester, and of his desire to be furnished
with the means of inttoduction to some of the manu-
facturing establishments for which the town is cele-
brated, and their Lordships being anxious that his
object should be gratified, have directed me to assure
you that they will be thankful to you for any facili-
ties which you may be enabled to afford him for effect-
ing the purposes of his visit.—l am, sir, your obedient
servant,
" DENIS LE MARCRANT."
Immediately afterwards the Mayor took the dis-
tinguished stranger and suite (who were conducted
to the Town-hall by Mr. Ydlibi, the Vice-consul for
Turkey, resident in Manchester), to his extensive
spinning and weaving establishment at Pendleton,
which they were shown over. After taking re-
freshments at the residence of the Mayor, the party
proceeded to the small-ware factory of Messrs.
Wood and Westhead, which they examined with
minuteness. On Monday they will visit the great
locomotive engine manufactory of Messrs. Sharpe
Brothers and Co., and some of our extensive mills and
manufactories.

MEDICAL REFORAL—The new Council of the
National Institute of Medicine, Surgery, and Midwifery,
held its first meeting on Wednesday, the 13th instant.
It was very numerously attended, and much satisfaction
was expressed at the prospect afforded of an early set-
tlement of the question of medical reform, by the general
agreement coma to at the recent conference at the Col-
lege of Physicians, by the delegates from the various
medical corporations of Great Britain and Ireland, and
the National Institute. A report containing the im-
portant documents recently issued by the Conference
Committee, has just been published by the Council, and
will doubtless be read with much interest by all classes
of medical men.
The Bishop of Manchester has appointed the Rev.
John Hull, M.A., vicar of Poulton-le-Fylde, near Pres-
ton, Lancashire, to be his Lordship's chaplain,
