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 tile Liverpool police-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

The American papers state that Captain Corn-
merell, of her Majesty's ship Monarch, has written a
letter to the Secretary of the United States navy to
express thanks and acknowledgments in behalf of the
Queen and the British navy for the attention which the
officers of his vessel received while in America.

Lord St. Leonards has caused to be placed in the
window of one of the principal shops in the borough of
which he is the High Steward (Kingston-on-Thames) two
of the forged letters which have been written in such
numbers to his lordship's annoyance. The exhibition of
the documents (a local correspondent says) attracts much
attention.

The arrival of the Camperdown, one of the large
ships engaged in the Calcutta jute trade, has caused much
rejoicing at Dundee. The vessel left Calcutta on the Ist
of December last, and was, therefare, 173 days at sea.
For the past two months grave fears for her safety had
been felt in Dundee, from which town the crew of the
Camperdown had chiefly been selected.
It is stated that Boulton, one of the men in
women's clothes, is a son of a northern country squire.
Park, his friend and accomplice, is the son of a gentleman
holding a high position in one of our Common Law
Courts. Cumming is a student at Oriel College, Oxford.
Thomas, another of the party; is or was at Christ
Church.

The division list touching the University Tests
Bill shews that the Conservatives were not especially
enthusiastic in opposing the measure. The 66 who voted
against it are composed almost entirely of the leaders and
a few followers of the Charley and Newdegate class. The
bulk of the party seems to have felt no interest In the
matter.

The Spanish Order of Noble Ladies, which has
just been conferred on Madame 01Eyler, carries with it
the title of " excellency," and confers a rank equivalent
to that of Grandee. The cordon consists of a violet ribbon
and white stripes, to which a medal is attached. There
are at present in France ten other ladies who have the
right to wear it.

iThe Leeds Mercury of yesterday prints a petition
which it says has been numerously and influentially
signed, both by clergymen of the Church of England and
ministers of Nonconformist bodies, as affording the basis
of a compromise on the religious difficulty. The exclu-
sion of religious teaching from schools is deemed unde-
sirable; but it is allowed that in rate-supported schools
no distinct formulary should be taught.

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.

Earl Russell will bring forward the following
motion in the House of Lords after Whitsuntide :—" That
an humble address be presented to her Majesty, stating
that this House has seen with great satisfaction the spon-
taneous expressions of loyalty and attachment to the
British Crown which have lately emanated from many of
the colonies. That this House humbly prays her Majesty
to appoint a commission to inquire into the means best
fitted to guarantee the security of every part of her
Majesty's dominions."...
