CRICKET.
tCLARHE AND BUTLER V. HUNT AND BALDWINSON.--
This was the return match between these patties, and
as in the instance of the preceding contest, terminatedlin
favour of the Manchester. players. Indeed the two men
of Nottingham did not stand any chance throughout: It
was played on the ground of the Manchester Club,
Moss-lane, about three miles out of the town—the self-
same spot whereon the late England and Manchester
match came off. The innings were as follows :-180
balls, 125 hits for 10 runs ; 117 balls, 74 hits for 12 ru9ll
Manchester hence won by 66 runs.
CHALLENGE TO MR. A. .Mn IN.—Whilst this gentle-
man was playing his match with Mr. Felix, at Bromley,
he received a challenge from Hunt, of Manchester, to the
effect that he would play him at single
_wicket for 501.
a-side. Mr. Mynn, however, had previously determined
not to play any more matches after that with Mr. Felix
during the present year, and consejlently forwarded a
reply to that effect, accompanied with an intimation, that
next season he should be willing to play him for any
sum from 1001. to 5901. a-side.
SURREY v. MIDDLESER.—This match was played on
Moulsey Hurst, a spot which many years since; espe-
cially in. the earlier part of Lord F. Beauclerk's career—
indeed, it was at this place that his Lordship made his
public ericketing debut—was that whereon most; of the
county of Surrey conflicts were fought ; and cope-
quently, to those who lived in those days the present
match was one of much interest. Surrey, as in days of
yore, were the victors upon the first innings, and when
night put a close to the game, they had nine wickets..to
go down for eleven runs.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT WAULOBT.—We extremely
regret to have to record this week one of _the•
most extensive conflagrations of farm property whiCh
' has taken place in the East Riding of Yorkshire for very'
many years. The sufferer is Mr. James Watson, of
Waudby, about ten miles to the west of Hull, and four
east from South Cave, a gentleman who has long been
known throughout England and on the Continent, for
the superior character' of his horned cattle and sheet).
There appears to betnot the slightest doubt that this
great destruction of property is the, work of an incen-
diary. Fourteen stacks, containing the whole of the
wheat and hay, and nearly the entire crops of an exten-
sive farm, were enveloped and surrounded by roaring
flames. The large oat stack had been removed, and the
further progress of the fire in that direction arrested. It
was between three and four o'clock when the fire might
be said to be thoroughly mastered, and the fear of its
further extension at an end, but twelve hours afterwards,
thick columns of smoke were still ascending, and the re-
mainder of the bay stack occasionally burst out into
flames, and that of the wheat was a dense mass of in-
tense red-hot fire, from which in places incessant flames
arose. It was affecting to look upon the destruction of
so much valuable food for man and provender for cattle.
The loss in money value is, we believe, about 2,0001.,
but this is far from being the total mischief.—Leeds

of various documents, decided to allow the transfer.

DOUBLE SUICIDE.—EXETEB, SATURDAY.—OOII.•
siderable sensation has been created in the vicinity of St.
Mary Ottery by a dreadful occurrence, by which the
deaths of two unfortunate factory girls were occasioned.
On Friday week the deceased females, Mary Ann Old-
ridge and Jane Smith, were visited by a man of indifferent
character, from whom Oldridge contrived to possess her-
self of half-a-crown to get some liquor with, and never
returned, the other deceased following her. The man
subsequently meeting with them, threatened to expose
them to their employer Mr. Newbety, the silk factor, in
Exeter, if they did not immediately return him bis half-
crown. Not having sufficient to make up the required
sum, the threat appeared to operate so powerfully upon
their minds, that they went to the neighbouring chemist
and purchased 3d. worth of arsenic, with which they re-
solved to destroy themselves. They then returned to
work at the factory, and on leaving at night went to a
public-house kept by a person named Taylor, where they
mixed the poison in some cider and drank it. Oldridge
died in dreadful agony on Wednesday, and Smith in
twenty-four hourti after. Yesterday an inquest was held
on the bodies Of the unfortunate women before Mr. Aberdeen, the coroner, at the Red Lion Inn, Ottery,
when the jury, after several hours' deliberation, returned
a verdict of Feb de see. Both bodies were interred late
last night in the parish churchyard.
EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY.—BEDFORD, OCT. '3.
—During the past week the greatest excitement has pre-
vailed in this town and the adjacent district, owing to the
discovery of the body of a young man, named J. Lilley,
a fishmonger, and native of Bedford, in a retired spot
called Clapham-wood, the throat being frightfully cut,
so as to sever the windpipe, with a contused wound over
the left eye, apparently the effect of a blow with some
heavy weapon. The body was in a crouching posture,
under a large tree, to which it had been attached by a
handkerchief, the corner of which was torn off, the
other end being tied to another handkerchief, which was
around the neck of the deceased, and the folds of which
were deeply embedded in the wound. Within a few
yards of the spot a hat was picked up, and a knife
stained with blued was found lying amongst the under•
wood. The body was readily identified, and informa-
tion having been given to Mr. E. Eagles, the county
coroner, a respectable jury was impannelled to inquire
into the circumstances. The Coroner, in summing up
the evidence, adverted. to the very suspicious circum-
stances of the case ; and the jury, after a short con-
sultation, returned a verdict to the effect, "That the
deceased Joseph Lilley was found dead in Clapham-
wood, with certain wounds, which the jurors are of opi-
nion were inflicted by the deceased himself, when in an
unsound state of mind."

MR. FoRBEST.—This gentleinan has returned to
New York, where he is now playing a round of cha-
racters. The journals of that city describe the night pf
his first appearance, after• his European tour, as being
one of great excitement and enthusiasm-1 roving the
extent of the estimation in which his histrionic talents
are held by his countrymen.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE W. T. D. TRENCHARD,
ESQ.—The remains of the late William Trenchard Dillon
Trenchard, Esq., of Lytchett House, in the county of
Dorset, were consigned to the family vault in the parish
church, on Thursday, the 24th Sept. The solemn pro-
cession left the family residence at twelve o'clock; in ad-
tion to his own relatives he was followed by his numerous
tenantry. His loss v% ill be deeply felt by the poor of
his neighbourhood. The deceased was the elch-st son of
the late Rev, H. Luke Dillon, formerly rector of Lytchett
Matravers, grandson of the late Lady Augusta Dillon,.
and was nearly connected with the noble families -of
Clanricarde and Clanbrook. He will be sueceed,4 in

the estates of _ Lytchett Matravers and Child Ok,ford
by his next brother, Henry Luke Smith Dillon, Esq.,
who,, in obedience to the will of the late William
Trenchard, Esq., will assume the name and quarter the
arms of Trenchard with those of Dillon.—Sherburne

works. T. Jones, one of the young men engaged
as assistant filler, while throwing a hask,t full of cinders
into the furnace, by some means or other overbalanced
himself, and fell into the funnel of this heated crucible,
and in about three minutes was entirely consumed. The
materials in the furnace were not more than five feet
below the level of the charging plate. The blast Has
immediately thrown off ; yet, notwithstanding every
effort to save the unfortunate sufferer, Lot a friigment of
the body could be found. No person can state positively
how it occurred ; but it is generally supposed that the
basket must have caught in a portion of his clothes, or
in one of the leather handcuffs, and that the sudden con-
cussion caused by throwing the basket of materials into
the furnace, jerked him in. It is very remarkable how
this family has been afflicted with accidents of a lament-
able description. The former husband of the mother
was burnt to death from an explosion of liquid iron a
one of the neighbouring works. The present husband,
or father of the deceased lost an eye, and narrowly es-
caped a similar fate from a similar cause. Some Limo
ago one of his brothers was most awfully burnt to death
on a cinder tip ; and another brother had his foot burnt.
