CRICKET.

THREE OF ALL ENGLAND v. THREE OF SHEFFIELD.
This match was got up after the termination of the
Eleven of all England v. Sixteen of Sheffield contest had
been brought to a conclusion, and was played on the
Hyde-park ground, on Thursday and Friday last. It
could not, however, be played out, in consequence of the
Eleven being compelled to start for Bradford, at which
place they will commence operations this morning in op-
position to twenty of that place and district.
As the respective sides were at.first arranged for this
single- wicket match, England was to have been repre-
sented by Mr. Mynn, Parr, and W. Pilch, but the second
party having been injured by a blow from the ball, his
vacancy was supplied by Mr. C. 11. Hoare. England
having won the toss took the bat in the first instance.

THE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v. THE
AUBERIES, WITH WISDEN.
The annual match between these two celebrated clubs
was played last week, at the Auberies, the beautiful seat
of Mr. C. Alexander_ The,.,Marylebo.ne, Club unlisted
Hillyer, Diver, and Lilly.white; whilst the Auberies
played but one player, Wisden, whtim he has bad in his
service during the season. Still the latter gentleman's
club eventually proved victorious. They gained the toss
at the outset, and went to the wicket first, commencing
with Mr. Layton and little Wisden. The small man of
Sussex ran a long career, notwithstanding Hillyer and
Lilly white did their best to displace him. He was not
removed from his wicket until be had obtained 38, in
which there were one four, two threes, seven twos, and a
prolonged string of singles. The score of Mr. Layton
amounted to five. The Hon. E. Grimston, who will be
recollected to have been one of the finest bats Lord's has
ever possessed, followed, but was bowled before he could
make even a single. This gentleman was succeeded by
his brother, the Hon. F. Grimston, by
whom eight runs
were scored by a four, a three, and'a single. The Rev.
F. French then came, who having made two singles and
a four from Hillyer, was sent to the right about by Lilly-
white. Then came Mr. Hammersley, who, after dinner,
placed a four and two twos on the paper, and retired at
the bidding of White. Mr. E. Walton was then got rid
of for 2, when the wicket was protected by the Rev. H.
Pickering, whose efforts resulted in 4 only. Mr. Jones
Nash amalgamated the like number (not out), but the
" donor of• the feast" made 7, whilst his brother was
stumped without any addition to the general score. This
innings amounted to 83.
The Marylebone then went in and opened with the
Hon. R. Grimston and Mr. Hartropp. The former made
8, the latter 2, the one being bowled by Wisden, the
other falling a victim to the slow.bowling of Mr. Jones
Nash. Mr. Harence and Diver were the next to handle
the bats, and between them there was some very good
play. By the one 14 were told up, by means of a three,
two twos, and a balance of ones. Diver obtained 17, in
which were one three, two twos, and the rest singles.
Mr. Kynaston told up 9, but the Hon. E. Bligh was re-
moved without any score. The Hon. F. Ponsonby fol-
lowed, and in the end, as he has often done before,
carried out his bat with a score of 19 attached to his
name. Hillyer made 7, and Mr.- Vigne, who was the
next, contributed 11. The Earl Darnley did nothing,
and Lillywhite but 4. This hands in its total was 99, or
16 above that of their adversaries.
The Auberies then, on the following day, opened
their second innings, but their efforts did not realize more
than 64 runs, of which the only two-figured scores were
those of the Rev. F. French 19, and Mr. Jones Nasy 10.
The result of this total was to cause Marylebone to go in
for 48 to tie or 49 to win. Neither of these ends did the
Marylebone eleven achieve, for when their last wicket ,
fell eight runs were yet required to enable them to as-
sume the position of tyers. By that number, as the ac-
companying score will demonstrate, they were vanquished.
The Auberies— First innings, 83 second innings, 64.
Marylebone—First innings, 99; second innings, 40.

A FOOT-RACE.—On Mandarmorning, information
having reached the County Police-office, in Edinburgh,
that a foot-race was to come off hat day in the
neighbourhood of Corstorphine, between Billy Jordan,
of Manchester, and John Willcocks, of Edin,
burgh, two well-known sporting, characters, the super-
intendent dispatched Sergeant Fraser and a body of
police to see that no breach of the peace was com-
mitted. About a quarter past three o'clock in the
afternoon, the competitors made their appearance at a
placeeablly twenty carriages,

diately accosted Jordan, and informed him that
the race would not be allowed to come off on the
highway ; and that if ho and Willocks would attempt
to obstruct the passage in any way, they would be
prosecuted under the Turnpike Act. Jordan re-
plied that ho was not aware they were infringing
any of the statutes; and, after consulting some time to-
gether, the whole party moved off in the direction of the
county of Linlithgow, where, they said, the police would
not interfere with them. On their arrival at Gogar-
