TON CLUB AND GROUND.

There was again a numerous assemblage of the patrons of
the game at Lord's yesterday morning, to watch the progreee
of this match, which in the end proved to be a very gored
one, seeing that the difference between the sides was only
eleven ; but that majority was in favour of the Leamington
Club. The final score was as follows:

LEAMINGTON.

NOVEL CRICKET MATCH.—A match at cricket came off at
Sutton-in -Ashfield on Tuesday last, which caused much
amusement. The competitors were two females, one mar-
ried and the other single, and the single beat, having scored
one notch, and the married none.—Nottingham Guardian.
CRICKET MAT,m.—The return match between the" crack
clubs of Scotland," Grange (Edinburgh), and Perth, is to
come off on the North Inch on Tuesday, the 23d current.
It has been observed that the Perth Club, in many of the it
late matches with the Grange, have hardly had fair play, in-
asmuch as among the latter there have always been found
two or three superior players from England. We hope the
forthcoming match will be such as to afford a fair trial of
strength.—Perthshire Courier.

EXPERIMENTS IN THE MARSHES.
WOOLIViciL JULY 12.—Major-General J. B. Parker,
C.B. ; Atej,pr-General J. J. Lacy, Director-General of
Artillery, Colonel H. W. Gordon, Colonel Cruttendext,
Lieutenant Colonel Chalmer (Assistant Director-Gene-
ral or Artillery), Lieutenant-Colonel Bell (Royal Horse
Artillery), Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, Lieutenant-
C,lonel Williams, Captain Wingfield (Riding-house
troop), Captain Bonn, Captain Mitchel), Captain Law-
rence, end Captain Anderson (Royal Artillery), assem-
bled in the Marshes to-lay to witness experiments with
a fuzee on the concussion principle, submitted by Sir
William Morrison, a general officer in the Bengal branch
of the Indian service. Mr. W. A. Gordon assisted Sir
William Morrison in fixing the fuz64s and the sticks and
wires which were to insure a direction to the shells which
would cause them to strike the ground, or any object
they might be aimed at, with the fuzi3 uppermost, that
end being desirable, as when the fuzee strikes the
ground first the bursting powder often falls out with-
out bursting the shell. The first shell, with a stick
about one inch in diameter, and two feet long, was
fired from an eight-inch morter, at an elevation of 75
degrees, but before it reached its highest altitude the
stick fell out, and the fuzee did not explode when it fell
to the ground. The second.shell was also fired with a
stick and fell to the ground on its side without exploding
the fuz63. Both shells were only charged with two
ounces of bursting powder, as it was not intended to
burst the shell, but to test the certainty of the futh
acting effectively, and the latter shell was fired at an
eleirati,n of 45 degrees. The third shell had two
pieces of copper wire each, about two feet in length,
and when fired at an elevation of 45 degrees it ignited
the bursting powder on striking the ground. The
fourth and filth shells charged with the same quantity
of powder and fired with copper wires attached both
ignited the bursting powder on striking the ground. At
the conclusion of the experiments Sir William Morrison
explained the plan he had adopted to the members of
the select committee who were present. The concussion
composition is contained in a small tube sustained in a
brass tune: by a piece of wire and a screw to cover the
other end. The whole appears complicated, and the
small screws and other parts would be liable to disarrange-
ment or to he lost in the hurry of actual warfare.

TEMPORARY BRIDGE AT WEST-

MINbTER.
10 THE EDITOR OF THE TINES.

Sir,--The inquiry wade through your columns, as to
the peculiar character of the intended temporary bridge
at Westminster (in favour of which the standing orders
of the House of Commons were suspended) was an-
swered with so much openness that apprehension was set
at rest; but to-day, upon going to the Committee-room
on the first day of the sitting of the Select Committee
appointed to inquire into the proposed measure, .Iwas
stopped
oppedaith the
at thedour,
Committee
and after(although somlteinuqguhi on h
inquiry, was politely
list
informed of
" Public Committees") was deemed private, and that no
one but the witness called by the Committee was allowed
to be in the room. Residing as Ido within a few yards
of the bridge, and affected as my property or my com-
fort must be by the results of the inquiry, it does not
appear to me that such Committee should sit with closed
doors, and still less so when the immense traffic over and
under this bridge is to be affected by the same inquiry,
and when avowedly there are not funds sufficient for the
erection of a proper and durable structure without ap-
plying to the pockets of the public. Probably the pub-
lication of this secresy may lead those who have the
power to prevent it to see the unreasonableness of snob
procedure.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
July 12. A RATE-PAYER 07 WESTMINSTER.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A MAGIS-
TRATE.—The Clare Journal of Thursday contains the follow-
ing :—" We regret to learn that a most serious charge is at
present pending against Mr. Smith, of Castlefergus, a magis-
trate of this county. Informations having been sworn
against that gentleman for originating and planning a con-
spiracy to shcot his own mother, a warrant was issued for
his arrest, and placed in the hands of J. W. Kelly, Esq., 5.1.,
who accordingly took him into custody, and brought him
yesterday before James Molony, Esq., of Kiltannon, D.L.,
and Mr. O'Brien, R.M., at Tulle, who were engaged for some
time in investigating the charge, but did not some to any
definite conclusion on the subject. The investigation is to
be resumed on Satarday, until which time Mr. Smith has
been placed in the custody of Mr. Kelly, who, we understand,
has allowed him to remain in his own house, on which a
guard of the constabulary has been placed. We may ob-
serve, that it is two years since the conspiracy is alleged to
have been entered into."
