CRICKET.

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 to be 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.

—The play 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-
tators. England, tint 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 with
eight wickets lowered. The above score therefore shows
the state of the match up to Tuesday evening. The
match was renewed on Wednesday at Bradford, and ter-
minated in favour of Bradford by 16 wickets. The final
scores were, England, 93 and 22, or 115; Bradford, 108
and 8, or 116, with 16 wickets untouched.
ELEVEN OF THE SURREY GROUND V. THE KINGSTON
CLUB.—This match was played at Kingston on Tues-
day, when there was some good play exhibited, more
especially in respect of the bowling. The Surrey eleven
howe7er, were clearly too powerful for their opponents;
who were vanquished upon the first innings by 32 runs.

IRELAND.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY.—ShortIy after eleven o'clock
yesterday, Lord John Russell, accompanied by his lady,
and Mr. Corry Connellan, private secretary to the Lord
Lieutenant, left the Viceregal Lodge in one of his Ex-
cellency's carriages, and drove into town. His Lordship
and party first visited the Royal Irish Academy, where
they were received by the Rev. Dr. 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 carriage and servants of the Viceroy hav-
ing attracted the notice of the passers-by, a crowd
assembled, and .`had greatly increased by the
time the Premier and his lady left the building to
enter the carriage. The demeanour of the people was
thoroughly becoming—they were respectful to the First
Minister of the Crown, while, towards his lady, many
kindly and commendatory observations were used. The
carriage was then driven into the quadrangle of Trinity
College, where Lord John was received by the Vice-
Provost, Dr. M‘Donnell, Drs. Todd, Wall, Elrington,
Greaves, Professor Stokes, and the other senior fellows,
and members of the board, in their full academic cos-
tume. He was conducted to the library, and stayed for
nearly half an hour, her Ladyship remaining in the
carriage. It was remarked as strange that not the
slightest manifestation of feeling, one way or another,
was made on the part of the students on the occasion.
There were oven very few amongst them, perhaps
not more than a dozen, had the curiosity to come and
see the Prime Minister of England on his visiting their
alma mater, and from the very few who did there was
neither salute, cl r, 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 Pheenix Park, where a large and fashionable
party had assembled. They were received at the en-
trance by the committee and honorary secretaries, who
conducted 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.

The subjoined is taken from tho Limerick Chronicle of
yesterday :
"Major-General M'Donald's address to the troops on
striking their tents in the county of Tipperary will be
read with interest. It gives the lie direct that any
portion 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 at Turtulla-park, county of Tipperary :
" "rhurles, Sept. 3.

" Major-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 contiuued
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.
l'ennefather and Captain M'Kenzie, left Thurles this

day for Kilkenny.
1‘ Yesterday 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 en Monday, via Cashel and Clonmel, for
Waterford; 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 Turtulla-park."

[ADVERTISEMENT.] A CHILD POISONED WWII
ARSENIC BY A DOCTOR'S ASSISTANT, AND THE CRIME
OF WILFUL MURDER LAID TO THE CHARGE OR 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 thp-se
parties, and had it not been for the grand jury- at
