CRICKET.
BRIGHTON, MAY 81.—The match between Maur4t, with

the two Broadhridges, Saunders given, and the Club of this *re,
commenced on Ireland's Royal Ground, on Monday, with the odds
much in favour of the former, who made play, by taking their
first innings, anti were all put out after gaining forty-eight runs.
The innings; of the Home Cinb followed, and concluded . with

thirty-nine runs, keying nine runs ha favour of their adversaries,
and whose second innings, yesterday • morning, involving forty-
three runs merely, left them in advance fifty-two. The. Home
Club then gained fifty-three runs, with but five wickets down,
consequently they won the Match, and bud five wickets to spare.

LftliwLite, and Lunaway, oirthe Brighton side. in the first in-
nings, dames Broadbridge was run out, after gaining fourteen runs
--ho eommenced the second innings, sand preserved his wicket to
the last; but the excellent bowling prevented his doing much,
Saunders, in both innings, was bowled out by Lilliwhite, baying
gained seven runs in the former, and three in the latter.--,
The odds were four to one against Brighton on the second
day. The triumph on • the home side has been decisive end
eohrplete.

OTTER-HUNTI24O.—On Friday last, a party of
gentlemen from Louth met at the hospitable mention of Christo-
pher Taylor, Esq. of Tothill, for the purpose of enjoying the di-
vetion of otter-hunting. They conm►emxd operations at the Ilolt
ahOve Wither,' Mill, and pursuing- their course upwards on each
ship of the river, soon found evident traces of the recent visits of
these enemies to the finny tribe which they were in quest of; and
it was thought that, through over haste,..they missed an otter a
few fields below Claythorpe they at last succeeded in
finding and killing two about half a mile above Thoresby
one apparently about three months old, and another full grown,
weighing twenty-two pounds, whose plump and sleek condition
gave every reason to conclude that be hall robbed the strean► of
many a noble fish. The same party intend to meet at Calceby-
bridge on Friday, at nine o'clock, and it is hoped every gentle•
man who is interested in preserving and promoting the breed of
fish in the stream there will send one or two men, each furnithed
with a spade, pick-ate, or hatchet, as it is but too evident there
are many otters thereabouts. It is to be lamented that the breed
of the otter hound is become nearly extinct ; only one dog of that
sort could be procured on the occasion, and he came thins Go►il-
ceby---he is is noble animal. Every gentleman through whose
estate a front stream runs would do well to encourage the breed
of the otter hound, and every lover of angling should expect per-
mission to enjoy his favourite diversion only on condition that he.
kept a dog of that description.

He whOse eye (says a. reoont traveller) can Aeon-
guild.' the various lit.,nelies of uncultivated nature, and whose
ear is not shut to the wild sounds in the woods, will be
delighted m passing up, the river Demerara. Every now
and then the meant or tinamow sends forth one long and
plaintive whistle from the depth of the form, and then
stops; whilst the yelping of the toucan, and the Aria
voice of the bird called pi-pi-yo is heard during the inter-
val. The emptier() never hint to attract the attention of
the pastenger : at II distance of nearly three miles you
may hear this snow-white bird every four or five minute,
like the distant convent-bell. From six to nine in the
morning the forest* resound with the mingled cries and
strains of the feathered race ; after this they gradually die away.
From eleven to three all nature is hushed, as in a midnight silence,
and seams a note is heard, saving that of the catapanero and the
pi-pi-yo; it is then that, ()mimic' by the solar heat, the birds
retiro to the thickest shade, and wait for the refreshing cool of tio
evening. At eunqlown, the vumpires, butt, and goat-eneitera,
dart from their lonely retreat, and skim Meng the trees on the
river's bank. The different kinds of frogs abut* stun the
ear, with their hoarse and hollow-sounding croaking., while the
owls and goat-suckere lament anti Liman all night long. About
two hours before day-break, you will hear the red monkey moan.
ing, as though in deep distress; the houtou, a solitary bird, end
only found in the thickest recesses of the form, distinctlyerticti-
