CRICKETING.
GRAND MATCH AT THE EARL OF VERULAM'S.

On Saturday last the return match between the Moor-park Club
and Lord Grimston's party, was played at Gorhambury, near St.
Albans. The Moor-park gentlemen went in first, and scored l 8•,;
Duncan Anderson, Esq., getting 87; his style of batting was'gene-
rally admired Lord Grimston s side scored 63 in their first inn-

ings ; and when the Moor-park had marked 102, with four wickets
to go down in their second innings, it was found too late to continue
the game. The ground was in excellent order, and they played ex-
ceedingly well. It is most delightfully placed near to the mansion,
surrounded by groups of trees, and forms as it we:2 an amphi-
theatre. Tents were erected on the ground, under which refresh-
ments were served; and we could not but admire the very great
liberality displayed by the noble owner of this splendid demesne,
and the hospitable manner in which the gentlemen were entertained
by his Lordship, whose urbanity of manner to all, will (from the
expressions we heard from the gentlemen) never be erased from the
minds of the members of the two clubs. To convey to our readers
the manner this match was played, we need only add that bad play
on either side was a rare arts.

BRIGHTON AND CLARENCE CLUBS.

During the whole of yesterday, in consequence of the near ap-
proach of this long-talked of match, the most lively interest was
excited amongst the numerous admirers of th's noble game. A
grand trial of skill is expected on the occasion, and both parties
appear sanguine of success. On the side of Brighton will be found
the names of Messrs. Lillywhitc, Goad, Goring, &c. ; Messrs.
Cobbett, Grinham, Hall, &c., will contend for the honour of the
Clarence. Betting 6t04 on Brighton.

SPORTING.—Mr. George Lomas, of Rothley, and a
highly respectable party had the pleasure of taking nearly a
ton weight of fish in one year (two days' sport) ►n a small
meadow above Cossington Mill, the property of T. Babington,
Esq. The first day's sport was in July, 1833, and the last on
the 21st of July, 1834 ; the fish were remarkably fine, and con-
sisted of pike, perch, carp, tench, roach, and other fish—the
pike weighed from 41b. to 141 b. each, and to enliven the sport
on the last day's fishing a very fine otter swam into one of the
trammels, and caused much diversion before he was taken.
Mr. William Simons, an old sportsman, was on the bank to
give the view " hollo." Mr. G. L. has been a Piscator nearly
40 years, he never saw such a fishery as the water Burrow Pool,
above Cossington Mill, for sport.--Leicester Journal.

FRANKFORT.—A gentleman at Wurzburg has had
a livery of good stuff made for his female servants : for work-
ing days, it is grey ; for Sundays and holidays, green ; and
they must wear it ap long as they are in his service. This is
a good hint for tli& wives of our citizens, who can scarcely
restrain the love of finery and extravagance of their maid-
servants.—Bavarian Village Gazette. -
