CRICKET IN THE PHCE'NIX PARK.

A grand Cricket Match was on Friday played in the
Phoenix Park, between the Garrison of Dublin and the
Ballinasloe Cricket Club, i❑ which the latter were victo-
rious, winning the match in one innings, with 13 runs to
spare. The innings were as follows :—Dublin, first
innings, 23 runs; Ballinasloe, OS runs. Dublin, second
innings, 62 runs. The weather was very unfavourable,
and occasioned frequent interruptions of the game. It is
understood that a return match will shortly be played on
the Ballinasloe ground at Garbally, the seat of the Earl of
Clancarty. The Garrison eleven was the same that made
so good a match a short time since with the Kilkenny
Club, the latter only winning by one run and one wicket.

TIIE LATE DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON
THE RIVER.-After considerable exertion, the Brilliant,
which went down off Purfleet, on Sunday, with all bands,
only two of whom were saved, six being drowned, was cot
up without much apparent injury, and yesterday tnwed to
London, by the Friendship, of Lambeth. It was expected
the bodies of some of the unfortunate sufferers would have
been discovered on board, but we understand that as yet
not one has been found.

ALL FOR LOVE. —A double suicide bus
just occurred at Marseilles. A young wotnm, remark-
able for her beauty, had formed a connection with a cabinet
maker, whose parents objected to their union. On the
14th inst. they were found clasped in each other's arms,
quite dead, having been suffocated by a quantity of burning
charcoal which they had procured for the purpose. They
were both dressed in the most elegant manner, and must
have consumed many hours at their toilet, preparing for
their last adieu.

On Monday morning last the family of a
highly respectable East India merchant, residing in the
neighbourhood of Shooter's-hill, was thrown into the
deepest grief, by the unexpected disappearance of one of
the daughters, a fine girl about 18 years of age. Inquiries
were immediately set on foot after her, but no trace what-
ever could be had till about 9 o'clock the same night, when
the young lady was traced to Norwood, where she and a
young gentleman, a clerk in the Navy Pay-oflice (we be-
lieve), stopped at the house of a friend of his for about an
hour, and then drove off to London in a horse and chaise.
They were next heard of at the Elephant and Cistle,
where they stopped and partook of a glass of brandy and
water, but from that time to the present no clue can be
obtained of the fugitives. The parties are, it is said, in
possession of a plentiful supply of money, and it is believed
they have set off for Gretna.
MR. THOS. TaNIPKINS, THE BARRISTER,
DROWNED.—Yesterday, an inquest was held at the Work-
house at Battersea, on the body of Turmas TOMPKINS,
Esq., barrister-at-law, late of Lincoln's Inn-fields. The
deceased, who was unmarried, and about 45, was very
fond of excursions on the water. On Thursday evening
be was returning from Richmond in a boat with a gentle-
man named WADDELOW, when, feeling unwell, he laid
down. His friend, on getting past Vauxhall-bridge,
pulled the boat suddenly on one side to prevent a collision
with a barge, at which moment the deceased unfortu-
nately got up. His rising made the boat unsteady, and,
unable to preserve his balance, he fell overboard and im-
mediately sunk. His body was not found till Monday
morning, when it was taken up by a poor fisherman,
named KENNETT, neattthe Red House. In the pockets
of the deceased were found a handsome gold watch, value
50 guineas, upwards of 751. in money, and a cheque for
251., the whole of which was safely restored. The fisherman
was rewarded with Si. Verdict—Accidental Death.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.— About twelve
o'clock on Sunday, a person called at the cottage of a
labourer, in the parish of Margaretting, and having pur-
chased some gingerbread and lighted his pipe, he left the
house. In about an hour he returned, and requested the
favour of pen and ink; whilst the cottager was gone to
procure them, he asked his niece to allow him to light his
pipe, and immediately going to the fire, he placed the
muzzle of a pistol to his left side, lighted a piece of paper,
and applying it to the touch-hole, it went off, and he fell
lifeless on the floor. The instrument with which he de-
stroyed himself proved to be the barrel of an old pistol,
without either stock or lock, and had been wrapped up in
a blue cotton handkerchief. Messrs. BUTLER, of Ingate-
stone attended, and, upon examination, these gentlemen
found that the ball had penetrated just below the heart,
and had passed entirely through the body. A fragment of
paper, with which it is supposed he fired the pistol, was
found near him; it contained a few words only, the ter-
mination of four lines, written in a very free hand, but,
from its mutilated state, no name could be discovered ;
all that could be understood from it was to the effect that
he had been or was going to London to see a relative, and
that the writer was in distress. He bore the appearance
of a respectable mechanic ; seemed about 25 years of age ;
was five feet six inches in height, of slender make, sallow
complexion, with straight black hair ; was dressed in a
decent suit of mourning ; his shirt marked H. K., No. 1.
No other papers or marks of identity were found upon his
person.—Essex Herald.

REPRIEVE OF WOOLLEY.—In consequence
of some very suspicious circumstances which have trans-
pired since the trial of GEORGE WOOLLEY, who was left
for execution this day (Saturday,) on a charge of rape on
the body of CAROLINE GREEN, a child under"ten, dreprieve
has been obtained. Several witnesses have deposed before
the Rev. J. CLARE, magistrate of Wolverhampton, that
they have the strongest reason to believe that CAROLINE
GREEN is not the daughter of SARA II GREEN who swore
she was her child. A suspicion of this fact arose from a false
account given by the mother of the baptism of her daugh-
ter at Reading, which was proved so by a letter from a
clergyman of that place, and the GREENS, knowing that a
letter of inquiry was sent, instantly left the place, and have
not since been heard of. A respectable witness swore
she remembered seeing CAROLINE GREEN at Hereford
two years ago, where her brother, whose ❑ame was NUTT,
was buried ; that she has lived since that time near them,
and that she has frequently told her her name was NUTT,
and that she believes her to be between eleven and twelve.
This was also confirmed by another witness, who lived
neighbour to the GREENS, to whom CAROLINE has fre-
quently said her name was Nuxr. On the representation
of these facts, Baron GURNEY has most humanely granted
a reprieve, and we trust that the future life of this unfor-
tunate man, thus rescued from an untimely end, will be
passed in a manner worthy of the humane attention and
compassionate mercy displayed in his behalf. JAMES
BAYLEY, who was convicted of the murder at Lane
Delph, and whose execution was respited until the 22d
inst., has not been reprieved. He still persists in assert-
ing his innocence. Should no reprieve arrive, the unfor-
tunate man will be executed on Wednesday.--Stafford-
shirt Advertiser.
