MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND V. COUNTY OF
SUSSEX.—This affair—for it proved to be no match—
was brought to its inglorious conclusion at Brighton on
Tuesday. The final state of the score was as follows:
Marylebone, first innings 51; second ditto 67. Sus.ez,
first innings 132. The Marylebone Club were therefore
beaten in ono innings by 14 runs.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Yesterday, at St.
Peter's, Eaton-square, the Hon. Hayes St. Leger, only son
and heir of Viscount Doneraile, led to the hymeneal altar
the beautiful daughter of Mr. Lenox Conyngham. The
bridal party arrived at the church shortly after eleven
o'clock, the bride being attended by a train of youthful
bridesmaids, among whom were the Lady Elizabeth Butler,
Miss Elliott, Miss Greville, and Miss Burnaby. The bride
was given away by her father, and at the conclusion of the
ceremony the party repaired to the residence of the bride's
father in Eaton-place, where a handsome eltyeuner was served
to a select party of friends of both families. Early in the
afternoon the newly-wedded pair left town for Salt-bill,
whence they go to Doneraile•house, county Cork, to pass
the honeymoon.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, a most excellent remedy for Abscesses and Old Wounds.
—Thomas Edwards, a labourer in Portsmouth Dockyard, re-
ceived a severe hurt in his thigh, about four years back, by a
piece of timber falling on him. An abscess formed in conse-
quence of the injury, which defied the most eminent surgeons
to heal, and he was consequently pronounced incurable, and
put on the superannuated list with a pension. Being now at
liberty to try other remedies, he commenced using Holloway's
Ointment and Pills, which have so effectually cured him that
he enjoys good health, and is as well able to work as any man.

BRITISH ARCHAOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. On
Monday evening the eighth annual meeting of this associa-
tion commenced at Derby, and was tolerably well attended.
Among those present, besides Sir Oswald Mosley, the presi-
dent for the year, were the Mayor of Derby, James Heywood,
Esq., M.P., Dr. John Lee, Rear-Admiral Sir W. H. Dillon,
K.C.H., Sir Fortunatns Dwarris, T. J. Pettigrew, Esq., H.
Stevens, Esq., &c. The president, in his inaugural address,
after some introductory observations on the interesting nature
of archmological pursuits, related some curious circumstances
regarding Derbyshire, from the time of the ancient Britons,
when it formed part of an immense forest, to modern times,
when it was the scene of the establishment of silk manufac-
ture, in 1717, by the ingenious but ill-fated
:mechanic John
Lombe—of the desperate invasion of England by Charles
Edward, in 1745 (the house in which he took up his head-
quarters remains to this day, in much the same state as it
then was)—and, finally, of the first idea of the Crystal
Palace, " conceived by the mind of Paxton, and executed
by the hand of Fox." The speech was well received, and
called forth a cordial vote of thanks from the meeting. The
treasurer (Mr. Pettigrew) then read a paper entitled "Cur-
sory Remarks on Antiquities ;" and the proceedings closed
with several interesting lectures—one delivered by Mr.
Planche on the "Armorial Bearings of the Earls de Ferrers ;"
another "On the Local Laws, Courts, and Customs of
Derbyshire," by Sir Fortunatns Dwarris; and the last dis-
course consisted of " Extracts from Church Registers, and
same Municipal Notices of Derby," prepared by Mr. 'l. S.
Reed.

THE HERRING FISHERY IN TU NORTH.—The
Wick herring fishery has not been so prosperous last week,
the rough weather having seriously retarded its progress; 30
cargoes have, however, been shipped for Stettin. At Dunbar
the tiihing is still continuing very successful, and the prices
are now such that the home curers have made' a beginnirg.
Indeed the take is such that it would be nearly impossible to
get the whole sent away in a green state. It is calculated
that there are sixty merchants purchasing for immediate
use. Selling price, 9s. to 10s. a cran.
THE STEAM NAVIGATION AND PASSENGERS ACTS.
—The Commissioners of Customs have issued directions to
the collectors and comptrollers at the several ports of the

General a return of the expenses incurred at their respective

100; and 11 and 12 Viet., cap. 81 ; and the Passengers Acts,

The second annual meeting was held last evening
at the Parthenium-rooms, St. Martin's- lane ; P. E.
Barnes, Esq., in the chair. A letter was read from
George Thompson, Esq., M.P. (one of the trustees),
regretting his inability to attend. Mr. G. Iluggett,
the secretary, read the annual report of the committee,
of which the following is an extract :
" The committee submit to the members a report
of the society, and in so doing they hove much plea-
sure in being again enabled to present a favourable
account of its condition. I, s progress is best marked
by the increase of its members. The number of shares
now held is 1,340, inclusive of those taken up on the
Moulsey estate, and the total receipts of the society
since its form4rion amount to 7,9681. ls. 6d. Itn-
pressed with the magnitude of the interests committed
to their care the committee have persevered in the
Course which received the approbation of the mem-
bers at their first annual meeting, they ,have ac-
cordingly bent their efforts, not to merely. enume-
reins and rapid purchases of estates, but to the
acquisition of unquestionable gocd ones, such
as bhould sustain the credit of the society,
by the undoubted value cf each of the particular
allotments. Of the many offers made, the committee
have thought it expedient to accept only one, namely,
for the purchase of 24 acres at Reigate (rehere there
are a large number of members), at the price of
3,6001. This estate will be allotted in the course of
the present autumn. Your committee are now in
treaty for an estate in Middlesex, in a locality suited
to the requirements of many of their members. .As
to the estate at East Moulsey, the committee have to
report that the division of it has been completed in
the most satisfactory manner, and several houses are
in course of erection, the restrictions which they in-
troduced into the conveyances have met with entire
approbation, and have most materially enhanced the
value of the property, and the committee have the
gratification cf pointing to this purchase as an ample
testimony of the correctness of the principles adopted
by the society. The land was bought for the sum 0f4,7c)51., and it has been distributed to the allottees
at 5,5821., or about 17 per cent., inclusive of all
expenses, while in some other societies the increase
on the original cost had been nearly 100 per cent.,
or at the same rate at which estates of such other so-
cieties had been allotted. The Moulsey property
instead
of have cost the allottees nearly 12,0001.,
of 5,8001. No charge has,been made to the mortgag-
ing members for interest on the money
.advanced to
them, except the very trifling amount of interest on
any sum temporarily borrowed to complete a pur-
chase, while being put into immediate possession of
their allotments they are placed in a position of reap-
ing the earliest advantages of which their freeholds
are capable. The committee feel it incumbent to re-
cord their deep sense of the invaluable services ren-
dered to the society by the Land Committee, to
whose practical experience may be attributed the
advantageous purchases already made, and
their acknowleagments are specially due to
Messrs. Vine and Pemberton, the purchasers on be-
half of the society, for the gratuitous superin-
tendence and indefatigable attention given by them
to the society ; and through their aid the expense of
allotting the Moulsey estate is less by some 2001. than
it would otherwise have been. With regard to the
constitutional and political results of the East Moul-
sey and Reigate estates, the committee may observe
that 140 additional freeholders will have votes for the
western division, and about 130 for the eastern divi-
sion. Already the names of 50 new freeholders ap•
pear on the list of voters for the former electoral dis-
trict, and the Reigate purchase, in addition to its
being one of the most eligible building sites in the
county, is within the boundary cf the borough, which
comprises exalt 200 votes, occupying houses chiefly
in the hands of one landlord, while the occupiers of
the allotments of the members will be independent
of similar influence. The committee recommend
the following alteration in the rules—' That of
the number of allotments in every future purchase, a
portion, not exceeding one-half, shall be offered to
members (according to seniority of membership) who
shall agree to pay up the whole cost of their allot-
ments, together with a charge of five per cent. on the
amount of such cost to be applied towards the defrayal
of the general expenses of this society ; and the re-
maining allotments shall be exclusively. devoted to the
other members in rotation, all parties jointly balloting
for priority of choice.'—The effect of this alteration
will be to enable the society to purchase whenever a
desirable opportunity offers, and consequently to expe-
dite the subscribing members obtaining their allotment.
In advising this step the committee have sought to
&void what they conceive to be a most objection-
able element, namely, the practice of ballotting for
allotments, the tendency of which is to induce re-
liance upon chance and not upon the prudence and
forethought of the members. The committee cannot
conclude their report without adding their own
testimony to that already borne by the members in
their re-election of the solicitor and the secretary at
the last meeting to the untiring zeal and very great
ability with which Mr. G. E. Dennes and Mr. G.
Iluggett, the gentlemen who respectively fill these
offices, have discharged their highly important
duties."

The report was unanimously adopted, the altera-
tion in the rules agreed to, and a vote of thanks tv
the chairman closed the proceedings.

THE AMERICAN PRINTEE,--" I pity the printeri"
said my uncle, Toby. "He's a poor creature," rejoined
Trim. "How so?" said my uncle. "Because, in the first
place," continued the corporal, looking full upon my uncle,
"he must endeavour to please everybody. In the negli-
gence of a moment, perhaps, a small paragraph pops upon
him. He hastily throws it to the compositor; it is inserted, and
he is ruined to all intents and purposes." " Too much
the case Trim," said my uncle, with a deep sigh ; " too much
the case." " And please your honour," continued Trim,
elevating his voice, and striking into an imploring attitude,
" this is not the whole." "Go on, Trim," said my uncle,
feelingly. "The printer sometimes," pursued the corpor-
ral, "hits upon a piece that pleases mightily, and he
thinks that it cannot but go down with his subscribers.
But, alas ! Sir, who can calculate the human mind? He .
inserts it, and it is all over with him. They forgive others,
but they cannot forgive a printer. I-Te has a host to print
for, and every one sets up for a critic. The pretty Miss
exclaims, Why don't he give us more poetry. marriages,
and boa taets?—away with these stale pieces.' The poli-
tician claps his specs on nose, and reads it ever in search
of a violent invective; he finds none, takes his specs off,
folds them, sticks them in his pocket, declaring the paper
good for nothing but to burn. So it goes. Every oue
thinks it ought to be printed expressly for him as a sub-
scriber ; and yet. after all this complaining, would you be-
lieve it, Sir," said the corporal, clasping his hands beseech-
ingly, " would you believe it, Sir, there are some sub-
scribers who do not hesitate to cheat the printer out of his
pay ?" A nierican Paper.
