EXTRAORDINARY CRICKET MATCH.--A great
number of extraordinary elevens have at one time or another
been made up to play the nati,nal game of cricket—married
men and bachelors—old and young—maids and wives—
fathers and sons against a parish - blind against the lame—
all these and many other odd assortments have we at one
robcyess a youth named
changed her
time or other recorded, but we have now a match to relate
which out-herods llcrud. There formerly lived at Hnnton a
worthy yeoman, named Nash, wino had two comely
dwauhgyhmtaerns:anOdntehwe aosh‘e'rwboycead asinmdiwinorif;
name to Tucker. So numerous are their descendants that,
on Saturday last, a match at cricket was payed at Hunton,
in which both the "elevens," the scorers, umpires, and all
engaged were furnished by them ; in short, the whole party
were' either Whymans or Tuckers, besides twice as many of
the same lineage, who acted the part of " lookers on," A
finer or more athletic race could seldom be met with, and
when all we:e assembled with their wives, sons, and daugh-
ters, a more interesting scene could scarcely be imagined ;
they could not have numbered, including the second and
third generations, less than a hundred. No fewer than
forty of the males of the family sat down to supper. Alter
supper a vocal performance of no slight merit took place,
the performers all belonging exclusively to the family. The
game was played by the Tuckers against the W hvmans
and the former were victorious in one innings.—.lthlidston;

EMIGRATION.—On Friday morning upwards of fifty
persons from the county Fermanagh, consisting of farmers
and their families, all Protestants, with scarcely an exception,
proceeded from this city by the early train to Belfast, on
their way to " the land of' the west." They were all in high
spirits, and expressed the greatest satisfaction at exchanging
a country where they are already looked upon as aliens, for
one in which they will not be 1. owned upon on account of

CBIsWEL COVE, WEST-BAY,

FORTLAND.

There are frf fluently during north-easterly gales
from twenty to thirty sail at anchor here bound to
the eastward. ThiA shows the necessity of the Port-
land 13reali water in the East-bay. It is to be observed,
in the West-bay Admiral Christian's fleet of transports
were wrecked in a south-west gale, on their voyage
to the West Indies, in November, 1795, when 1;500
perished. _

Captain Joseph Bennett, late senior commander of
her Majesty's packet service on this station (after
being seventy years at ses), remarks to Mr. John
Harvey, Nov. 20, 1834, in regard to Chiswel Cove,
as follows:

" Vessels anchoring in Chiswel Core during N.E.
gales reed keep a sharp look out in the event of a shift
of wind, for if it should suddenly veer round to the
southward and westward whilst there, the consequences
ate fa's!, and almost inevitable, as an east( rly wind is a
dry wind, end as soon as moisture is observable in the
atmosphere, although the wind may be still • asturly,
Chiswel Cove must be avoided, and vessels must get
undt r weigh from thui.ce insturth'y, a sudden shift of
the wind from the S.W. is most certain ; and ha it fur-
ther observed, for the benefit of mariners, that should a
vessel remain too long under these circumstances, even
if the master has a thorough knowledge of the locality
at Chisevul.Cove, viz., that there are nine hours strong
outset of the tide towards the Bill of Portland, and only
three hours inst t from the Bill towards CAP% el C,TC,
she will inevitably be drawn into the Rase of Portland,
uuless the master has sufficit nt confidence to stand with
her head towards the Rocks of Portland, in doing which
with a sufficient breeze, the tide will take her (by keep.
ing its force upon the larboard bow) clear of the Race,
and in the proper channel between the Race and the
Bill of Portland.

•' If a calm ensues after an easterly gale, the vessel
mu,t be got under wt.igh immediately; and should the
calm coniii.ue hut for a short period, the tide will cer-
tainly take her through the Race, where there is a great
chance of foundering."
