NEW REGULATIONS OF THE 311RYLEBONE CLUB.
At a recent meeting of the Committee of the Marylebone
Club, held in the Pavilion at Lord's, at which there were
present, the Hon. Colonel Lowther, the Hon. Frederick
Ponsonby, the Hon. Capt. Liddell, Sir John Bayley, Bart.,
Charles -larenc, Esq., and Roger Kynaston, jun., Esq., when
the following regulations were adopted:—
" The Committee will make the usual selection of gentle-
men and players for the several matches during the season ;
and being most anxious that as many of the former as possi-
ble should be chosen, they invite all members desirous of
playing to give their names to Mr. Dark, or the Hon. Secre-
tary of tt e club.
" The attendance of members on practice-days being usu-
ally very large, and complaints having been made that the
bowlers of the club are not always in the way when wanted,
more especially when a match terminates on a practice day,
the Committee have unanimously adopted the following re-
gulations, which, in future, will be strictly enforced :
" The Hon. Secretary will continue to enter the names of
the bowlers, who will attend on the four practice-days, in the
Bowlers Book,' and the same will be placed every Monday
afternoon on the table in the Pavilion.

" Leave ofabsence during the week will not be granted to
any bowler wl:o shall not have signified his wish to the Hon.
Secretary, or a member of the Committee, if on the ground,
before three o'clock on Monday.

...
"' No bowler, unless employed on the service of the club,
will be allobsed to be absent more than four practice-days
during the season ; and then efficient substitutes must be
found.

"‘At the conclusion of a match half an hour will be
granted to those buwlers who have either played, scored, or
stood umpire; and at the expiration of that time they must
take their places on the ground : the others must have the
wickets immediately pitched for practice.
"' Members are particularly requested to address all com-
plaints in wri, ing to the Hon. Secretary of the club.' "

" REMUNERATION TO BE PAID TO THE PLAYERS.

" The committee having considered the subject of the re-
muneration to the professional players for winning, can per-
ceive no reason for paying the players of their own ground
1/., and players not belonging to their ground 21., in addition
to the sum paid for their services ; and having also considered
the improved rapidity and cheapness of travelling, have
unanimously resolved that the following be the scale of
payment in future for all matches in London and the
country :

" If the player's journey to the ground shall exceed 100
miles. Si,. where it shall exceed 50, and be under 100, 4/. ;
where it shall be under 50, 3/. _ _

" Players belonging to the ground to be paid as follows :
—For a one day's match, U. ; for a match exceeding one
day, 2/.
" All players on the winning side to be paid IL in addi-
tion to the foregoing scale, except in a one dip's match at
Lord's, in which the remuneration to the players of the
ground shall nevor exceed 1/.
" Umpires and scorers at Lord's shall he pail as ;
the former 21. each, and the latter 1/. each. But in the
event of a match at Lord's lasting but one day, the umpires
and scores to be paid only half those sums. In all country
matches, except those in the immediate vicinity of London,
such as Eton, Harrow, &c., when the terms must be matter
of special agreement, the umpires and scorers shall be paid a
medium price between winners and losers on the foregoing
specified scale for professional players.' "
The Committee afterwards proceeded to the selection of
two elevens ; the first to play in the match at Oxford, to-
morrow and Friday, " The Marylebone Cricket Club, with
Hillyer and Lillywhite, v. The Undergraduates of Oxford,"
which was as follows :

TRAGICAL DEATH.

On Saturday evening an inquest was held at the Town
of Ramsgate public-house, Wapping, before Mr. Baker
on the body of a fine young woman, named Emmeline
Fullilove, aged twenty years, who was found in the
river Thames, having committed suicide on Sunday.
It appeared that the unfortunate deceased had been
married only three months to a man named Jonathan
Fullilove, a compositor at the Queen's printing-office,
who bad treated her with great inhumanity. He had
sold a room full of furniture which his wife brought him
on his marriage, had pawned her clothes, and deprived
her of the common necessaries of life. He had re-
peatedly beaten her in a most savage manner, and her
face and eyes were often discoloured and swollen from
the effects of his brutality. The bonnet, cloak, and
shawl of the deceased were found on London-bridge, to-
gether with a letter addressed to her mother, in which
she used these expressions :
" My dear Mother,—lt is with sorrow I write to you
in this strain, but my troubles are greater than I can
bear. My heart is broken ; I cannot survive it. I
would have borne with poverty, where it misfortune that
caused it ; but to know that my hard earnings are torn
from me to keep a prostitute, is more than I can bear ;
but let him know that my last dying curse was, that he
may rot and die a despised wretch as he is, and his jade
—she that persuades, and has succeeded in their vile
schemes, and made me their victim. They may now
revel in their unholiness, and I shall be no barrier be-
tween them. Judgment will some day overtake them.
They have played their cards well, and schemed to be
rid of me successfully."
The jury expressed the greatest horror and disgust at
the conduct of the husband, Fullilove, and said he was a
perfect monster. They regretted that they could not
send him to prison, and were most anxious to return a
severe verdict, expressive of their strong opinion of his
conduct. After a long discussion, how(nvor, they agreed
to a verdict suggested by the coroner " Toat Emmeline
Fullilove was found dead, with a w,i rid three inches in
length on her right temple, which wa, cans' d after death;
and that her death was apparently caused by drowning;
but the jurors, however, cannot separate without expres-
sidg their opinion and b( lief that the deceased has com-
mitted suicide from the brutal and inhuman conduct of
her husband."

At the request of the jury, Fullilove received a long
and severe lecture from the Coroner, who told him he
ought to reflect, as long as he lived, on his base and
heartless conduct to his late wife.

MRS. GORE'S NEW NOVEL, " THE DEBUTANTE."—
We are requested to state that Mr. Bentley, of New
Burlington-street, will publish this new work on Tuesday
next, the 26th instant, when it may be obtained at all the
libraries, in three volumes. Mr. Bentley has just published
Lady Blessington's new novel, " ,lemoirs of a Femme de
Chambre." and " Forest Hill ; a Tale of Social Life in 1830-
31," which may now be had at all the libraries.
LEoNTINE.—The new novel, entitled " Leontine,"
from the pen of Mrs. Moberly, the accomplished authoress
of " Emily," is to appear immediately. Conjecture has been
Itu,y as to its subject and heroine, but it would hardly be
fair prematurely to divulge a secret, which would put an
end to so many amusirg and piquant surmises as prevail in
fashionable circles in relation to the work. Thus much, how-
ever, we may state, that in " Leontine" Mrs. Maberly has
ventured on a theme entirely differing from that which
gained for her so much popularity in her former production.
MILITARY OUTRAGE.—On Wednesday morning, about
two o'clock, several privates of the 69th Regiment of Foot,
stationed at Bradford barracks, being under the influence of
liquor, went to a house ie Wapping, and demanded admit-
tance, and on being refused, broke open the door, under the
idea that it was a brothel. The occupier of the house re-
sisted their outrage 'us entrance with a poker, upon which he
was assailed and well beaten with sticks. The police were
sent for, when the offenders, with the exception of two, made
their escape. These were brought before the mag:strates on
Weduslay. Their names are Joseph Rule and William
Close. They were fined 51. each for the outrage, and sen-
tenced to the tread -mill for two months each in default of
payment.—Leeds Mercury.
CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCRIPTURE READERS' ASSOCIA-
TION.—On Friday the annual general meeting of the members and
friends of this institution, established two years since under the
auspices of the Bishop of London and the Bishop of Winchester, was
held at Willis's Rooms. The Bishop of Winchester presided, and was
supported by the Marquis of Choimondeley, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord
Sandon, M.P. ; Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P. ; the Hon. W. Cowper,
M.P. • the Rev. Sir H. R. Dukinfleld, Bart. ; Sir Thomas Dyke
Acland, Sir R. H. Inglis, &c.

THE
DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—We are informed that
the gentleman who happily prevented a serious accident happening
to the Duke of Wellington, when crossing the western entrance into
Hide Park on Wednesday, was Lieutenant Robert Thomas of the
Royal Navy, an officer of long standing, on half-pay, and who, we
are as.ured, felt a peculiar pride and satisfaction, as an old sailor, Is
having averted a calamity befalling so distinguished a character of
the sister service.

SEA. SPARROWS.—Last week on ti • Aurora leaving
the Broomielaw for Belfast, a sparrow's nest was discovered in the
rigging, but the birds did not choose to accompany their nest on that
occasion to the Green Isle. On the return of the vessel, however,
the sparrows again visited their former abode, which had not been
disturbed by the voyage, and deposited an egg in it, which attached
them so much to it, that they valorously left their native land, and
