FOOTBALL.-ETON AND HARROW V. TILE WORLD.

—This match, which had been anticipated, with consider-
able interest by lovers of the exciting game, and about th 0
Jesuit of which more speculation existed, was to have
been played on Tuesday at Battamea-park, but in conse-
quence of tho extremely unfavourable state of the weather
and the sloppiness of the ground it did not take place.

VALUABLE PRIZE.—On Tuesday morning the
fishing smacks Edwin, Captain Poward, of Hull,
and the May Queen, of Grimsby, brought to West Hartle-
pool a derelict barque, laden with oats. It appears that on
Thursday last the Edwin crow saw the barque about 200
miles off the east coast, near the Dogger-bank. Het sails
and yards being loose, the crow of the Edwin made up to
her, supposing her to be deserted. On boarding her they
found that the ship had been stripped of nearly everything
that was moveable. Her cabin was a scene of disorder, the
closets were all emptied out, and boxes and various articles
thrown about the floor as though some parties had been
aboard plundering the vessel. Everything was destroyed
or
/taken away that might lead to the name of the vessel,
and the name on the stern had been painted over. Most
of the sails had been unbent and carried away, also warps
were missing and the long boat. The vessel was a little
canted, but there was little or no water in her, and it was
soon pumped out. One of the men discovered on going
below that what water was in the vessel was coming in at
the side through a skylight which had been smashed. He
hoard the water falling, and after cutting away some can-
vas, which covered from view the skylight, he found the
breakage, which to him appea-ed to have been wilfully
done, as the glass was of very great thickness. The hole
was stopped up, and no further leakage existed. They
took the derelict in tow, but at night a gale sprung up,
and they were obliged to part from her, but they kept her
in view. The following day they got hold of her again,
and whilst iu tow fell in with the smack May Queen,
which agreed to assist them in taking the prize to some
ea
port. On Saturday night they were again obliged to
separate
fogrnao lmemstouhnbedsaibdyer barque,
afternoon,, uo' t ohwer in severe
iagreedngtoweather,
tow and wheirl,st butoa
aftea steamer to
tow their valuable prize to West Hartlepool. The ship
was got safely into the Jackson Dock, and her cargo does
not appear to be damaged. It is estimated that the value
of the ship and cargo is about £6,000. The vessel is sup-
posed to be the Ellerslie, Captain Bolt, from Helsingborg
to London, as the crew of that barque, which was laden
with oats, were landed at Shields a few days ago, having
abandoned their vessel about the same place where this
was discovered, in consequence of the cargo having shifted
and the pumps being choked.
