CRICKET.

The match between Woolwich and Sandhurst was
brought to a conclusion at Lord's yesterday, Sandhurst
winning by four runs only, a result that was mainly attri-
butable to the fine bowling of Mr. London.

The business at the Liverpool poli?,e-court, on Mon-
day was unusually great. No fewer than 307 prisoners
were booked ; 258 for being drunk. The Liverpool
Mercury states that only eighty-seven of these had money
upon them. The inference is that the remainder had
spent their last penny in drink.
Mr. Tillet has informed the deputation from the
Norwich Liberal representative meeting that he will come
forward as a candidate for the city only on condition of
receiving promises of support from the leading Whigs,
who intend to meet on Thursday to consider the present
position of the party. Mr. Edward Warner has refused
to become a candidate unless requested to do so by the
United Liberal party. No Conservative has up to this
time entered the field.

tions of the Committee, assured the members that on en•
tering the Cabinet, no opinion as to the necessity of arini
reduction, or of the amount thereof, had been imposed
upon him—the alternative being open to him, howe/er'
of choosing between the financial and the militant
considerations involved in that question, he could not
hu
decide for the former, believing that the solution of Ole
financial difficulty would contribute in due time to re'
establish the standard force of the army.
The Minister reviewed the history of the. Italian arm/ 0
reorganization, and remarked that Austria had given
example of the necessity of re-establishing the finance° at
the proper time, adding that the reduction of the militila
budget, which he had very reluctantly accepted, Wen
largely assist in the restoration of a sound financial cn.
dition, which was the paramount desire of the nation.
In conclusion, the Minister declared his acquiescence °
