ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. EIGHTEEN OF BRAD•
FORD AND DISTRICT.—The representatives of All Eng-
land, it will be seen, have at length reached Bradford. in
Yorkshire, where it is much tote hoped, their visit may
have the beneficial effect of drawing the attention of cer-
tain persons in that town and its vicinity from the per-
nicious suggestions in connexion with Chartism, and of
directing their minds to the great national pastime of
the land. _ _ .

- 7- Ti;ei;lay commenced on Monday. and at its termination
on that day there were three of the England wickets down
for 90 runs. There was an immense concourse of' spec-
tatoris. England, first innings, 93. The Bradford had
only nine wickets down for 94 runs, when our account
was dispatched in
:the evening of the second day's play.
On the first day's play England obtained 90 runs whit
eight wickets lowered; The above score therefore shows
the spate of the' match up to Tuesday evening. The
match was renewed on Wednesday at Bradford, and ter-
minated is favour of Bradford by 16 wickets. The final
scores were, England, 93 and 22, or 115; Bradford, 108
t :and ,or 116, with 16 wickets untouched.

IRELAND.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL.

Dtinurt, THURSDAY.—ShortIy after eleven o'clock I
yesteiday, Lord John Russell, accompanied by his lady,
and Mr. Corry Connellan, private secretary to the Lord
Lieu enant, left the Viceregal Lodge in one of his Ex-
iv
celle ey's carriages, and drove into. town. His Lordship
and arty first visited the Royal into.
Academy, where
they ere received by the Rev. Dri. Todd, Mr. George
Petri, Mr. Ball, and other members, by whom they were
condUcted through the museum, and pointed out the
several interesting antiquarian relics therein deposited.
They remained for nearly an hour, and evinced
much interest in reference to the several mat-
ters , brought under their notice. Meanwhile,
the Ferriage and servants of the Viceroy hav-
ing attracted the notice of the passers-by, a crowd
assembled, and had greatly increased by the
time I the Premier and his lady left the building to
enters the carriage. The demeanour of the people was
thor ' ghly becoming—they were respectful to the First
Mini ter of the Crown, while, towards his lady, many
kind .
4t
and commendatory observations were used. The
carriage was then driven into the quadrangle of Trinity
Colleie, where Lord John was received by the Vice-
Provost, Dr. M'Donnell, Drs. Todd, Wall, Elrington,
Greares, Professor Stokes, and the other senior fellows,
and Members of the board, in their full academic cos-
tume 4 He was conducted to the library, and stayed for
nearly half an hour, her Ladyship remaining in the
carrisige. It was remarked as strange that not the
slightltst manifestation of feeling, one way or another,
was Made on the part of the students on the occasion.
There were even very few amongst them, perhaps
not more than a dozen, had the curiosity to come and
see die Prime Minister of England on his visiting their
alma mater, and from the very few who did there was
neith r salute, cheer, nor hiss. The party drove through
several parts of the city, and returned about three o'clock
to the Viceregal Lodge, where they were joined by the
Earl and Countess of Clarendon and suite ; and at five
o'clock the Viceregal party visited the Zoological Gar-
dens, in the Phoenix Park, where a large and fashionable
party had assembled. They were received at the en-
trance by the committee and honorary secretaries, who
condticted them over the grounds. The Lord Lieutenant
on alighting gave his arm to Lady Russell, as did Lord
John 'to the Countess of Clarendon. They were accom-
panied by the Hon. H. Ponsonby, aide-de-camp in wait-
ing ; the Hon. Gerard Ponsonby, Mr. R. W. Grey,
M.P.; secretary to the Premier ; Sir Philip Crampton,
Dr. Hatchell, physician to the household, &c.
! THE LATE CAMP AT TURTULLA.
Tilt subjoined is taken from the Limerick Chronicle of
yesterday :
" Major-General M•Donald's address to the troops on
atrikipg their tents in the county of Tipperary will be
read with interest. It gives the lie direct that any
portidn of the immortal British army would be guilty of
deserting their Queen or her banners.
" The following is a true copy of the general order
issued to the troops on the breaking up of the encamp-
ment iat Turtulla-park, county of Tipperary:—
""rhurles' Sept. 3.
" ' ilajor-General M'Donald having been directed to
hold the troops under his command in readiness to break
up their encampment and to be placed in quarters,
takes; this opportunity of returning his very warmest
thanks to the officers commanding the regiments and
detachments of which the "moveable column" has been
composed, and requests they will have the goodness to
convey the same to those under their command. He
has not failed to bring to the notice of his superiors,
nor is he himself likely to forget, the absence
of crime and the admirable discipline which has been
maintained—the zeal and cheerful alacrity with which
every' order has been executed through a continued
series, of wet and inclement weather. Although the
Major-General rejoices that cn the present occasion the
services of the troops were not required in actual colli-
sion, still their readiness and loyalty were very manifest,
and he could not wish for better men or officers should
he be called upon to meet the enemies of his Queen and
country. "‘ K. M'KENZIE, Major of Brigade.
" ' Camp, Thurles.'
"Major-General M'Donald, his Aides-de-Camp, Col.
Penn father and Captain M'Kenzie, left Thurles this
day for Kilkenny.
" Xesterday evening the 74th Highlanders arrived in
Dublin in excellent health and spirits, from several weeks'
sojourn in wind and rain at camp.
"Three companies of the 85th, under Major Black-
burn, marched on Monday, via Cashel and Clonmel, for
Water.ford; three companies yesterday, under the Hon.
Captain Thurlow, head-quarters, under Lieutenant-
Colonel Taylor, with band and bugles, will arrive on
Saturday.
"The head-quarters of the 85th, or King's Light In-
fantry, marched on Monday, the 6th inst., for Water-
ford, This crack corps is much regretted in Dublin.

"Thus will be dispersed the memorable encampment
at Tartulla-park."

[ADVERTISEMENT 1— A CHILD POISONED WITH
ARSENIC BY A DOCTOR'S ASSISTANT, AND THE CRIME
OF WILFUL MURDER LAID TO THE CHARGE OF THE
MOTHER, WHO WAS INNOCENT.—Sir,—One of the dread-
ful consequences which we predicted as resulting from
the practice of doctors prescribing or holding our deadly
poisons as medicines has come to pass. An innocent
mother has been charged with poisoning her offspring,
although it turned out that the poison had not been
given by her, but by the doctor's assistant. We of
course refer to the case of Mary Spry and Mary Anne
Dore. It appears that the Coroner's jury had actually
returned a verdict of wilful murder against these
parties, and had it not been for the grand jury at
the Old Bailey, ignoring the bill, these unfortunate
and innocent parties might have been sent to the
scaffold as wilful murderers ! We cannot conceive
a subject which requires the more prompt interference
of the Legislature; and for our part, whilst we pos-
sess a pen and the power to use it, we will never
desist from holding up to public execration the odious
practice of prescribing these deadly engines of deathay asso
medicines, through which practice the guiltym be
easily escape condign punishment and the
innocent
brought to an ignominious end. All honest men should
at once come forward in this extremity. The facts of
this horrible case appear in the Observer, of the 3d
inst. Baron Platt, who tried the case, said that
showed what might be donehby be
Coroner's jury. He
might have added, what t b done throu b oisons
being used as medicines! His. Lordship's gmannerp
of
treating the case does him immortal credit. We pre-
sented to Parliament, in the year 1847, a petition against
these deadly poisons, signed by 20,000 persons, but no-
thing has yet been done. It is a gross imposition to
say that these poisons are needed in medicine.—We
are, Sir, your obedient servants, the Members of the
British College of Health, New-road, London,
.Sept. 4,

1848. .
SCHOOLMASTERS FOR THE COLONIES.-Government
have just dispatched several members of the scholastic
profession, male and female, principally men and their
wives, to establish primary schools in the Mauritius.
Before starting they received 1201. to provide the neces-
sary outfit, and on landing in the colony, 251. to defray
immediate expenses. Their sa'aries, commencing at
801, is gradually to increase to 2001, per annum.
A fatal accident occurred last night (Thursday)
on the Eastern Counties line,. between Oakington and
Long Stanton, by which a farmer named 'Thomas
Howarth lost his life. It is supposed that he was at-
tempting to cross the line, when the 8.30 express train
passed. One of his legs was cut off, and the other much
shattered,
