TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—By the one o'clock train I received the following list
of the supposed starters for the Liverpool Cup—viz., Wine-
sour, Milton, Corranna, Lothario, Extravaganza, Egerton,
Little Hampton, Cock Robin, Irontnaster, Rowena, Duke of
Kent, Trueboy, Mickey Free, Dog Billy, Godfrey, April
Noddy, and Ambition. I shall still advise my readers to
look to Milton and Mickey Free, reserving Lothario
for a " cockboat." Trueboy's running yesterday has sent
him entirely out of the market. For the Derby Handicap
to-day Sweetmeat or Quebec will no doubt prove the winner.
The Queen's Plate to Poussin or Bretwalda.

On Friday the Liverpool St. Leger will bring the fol-
lowing ten to the post—viz., Pantasa, Vaudeville, Cini-
zelli, Pug, Ada, Wolf Dog, Ould Ireland, the Bay
filly by Sheet Anchor, and perhaps Mentor, the latter rather
doubtful. Out of these I shall expect to see Pantasa first,
The Baron, Mentor, and Ould Ireland following close. The
Grosvenor Stakes to Pluto or Sweetmeat. The Stanley Stakes
to Pug or Lord Harry, the Witch in attendance ; and the
Selling Stakes to Poussin, with Dr. Wood or Juvenal second.

CRICKET.
KENT V. ALL EKGLAND.
This match was yesterday brought to a conclusion by a
result which compelled all the backers of Kent to hand over
their bets. The county lost the match by 80 runs, scoring
but 94 in their second innings, a circumstance which may in
a great measure be attributed to the absence of Mr. Felix,
until just as the then last wicket was going in. He came
upon the ground, however, in time to take his place in front
of the stumps as the tenth instead of the fourth or fifth man,
but then when Mr. Harenc had lost his wicket there was
only Hillyer to join him. The latter kept up for some time
and scored five, during which period Mr. Felix ran up a total
of 15, most of which were obtained by some beautiful hits to
the " leg" off Lillywhite. For these he marked a four, two
threes, two twos, and a one. Hillyer having been caught by
Dean, Mr. Felix carried out his bat amid the applauses of
the numerous assemblage on the ground.
During the progress of the match there was much fine
batting and play, and much most excellent bowling, but it
was, after all, one of the " slowest" matches we remember to
have seen for many years. This was mainly occasioned by
the heaviness of the ground, which prevented any liveliness
in the ball, whilst to the same cause may be attributed the
almost total absence of any brilliant hitting. The most
lively hitting was yesterday by Martin and Mr. Felix, each
of whom made his score in a comparatively short time. The
former as well as the latter was amazingly good to the" leg."
Dorrinton, too, made some excellent but not brilliant hits,
whilst Pilch, who appeared to be labouring under indisposi-
tion, played steadily, and fetched two fours, two threes, and
a two, but there was none of that sparkling hitting which
was wont to arouse the plaudistical feelings of the spectators.
At the termination of the match the score stood thus:—

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB: The last match
for the season, for the Stewards' Cup, for boats of IS tons, and
for a piece of plate for the second.class yachts of the Club, came off
yesterday over the Club-course, from Greenwich to Coalhouse-point,
and back to Greenwich. The entries for the Stewards' Cup were three
—the Victorine, Mr. Lord owner; the Polka, Sir P. Shelly, Bart.,
owner; and the Crusader, Mr. C. T. Hyde owner. The entries
for the second-class were five—viz., the Lady Louisa, 12 tons,
Mr. J. G. Moon owner ; the Charm, I'2 tons, Messrs. Smith
owners; the Cygnet, 10 tons, Mr. C. H. Harrison owner ; the
Sea Nymph, 10 tons, Mr. C. Wheeler, jun., owner; and the Fay,
19. tons, Mr. J. T. Hewes owner. The start took place at twenty
minutes past twelve o'clock, the wind blowing gently from the
north-west, and the tide running down. At starting the Sea
Nymph led, followed by the Fay second, the Victorine third, the
Cygnet fourth, the Charm fifth, the Crusader sixth, the Polka
seventh, and the Lady Louisa last. The wind was too feeble to
fill the sails of the boats, and they drifted with the tide down the
river, showing little or no sport, and causing no excitement. At
Northfleet the Charm became the second, and the Victorine the
third boat, and here the wind mended, and the pace became
better. At Coalhouse-point the boats rounded the buoy in the
following order :—The Sea Nymph at thirty-two minutes past four,
the Lady Louisa at twenty minutes to five, the Charm within
a quarter of a minute after her, the Victorine within half
a minute, the Crusader at thirten minutes and a half
to five, the Fay a quarter of a minute after her,
the Polka at five minutes to five o'clock, and the Cygnet within ten
seconds of the Polka. It was about flood when the boats rounded,
consequently they had the tide with them on the return, the wind
freshened a little, and the match became more interesting. The
Second-class Cup was won by the Sea Nymph, which came in first
at Greenwich at seventeen minutes to nine o'clock; and the Stew.
ards' Cup by the Victorine, which came in at fifteen minutes to
nine o'clock. The Commodore, Mr. Harrison, presented the prizes
to the winners in the usual manner, amidst the cheering of several
hundreds of visitors. The company who attended the match were
conveyed down and up the river in the Red Rover steamer, on
board of which was an ample supply of things to be eaten and drunk,
and a military band, conducted by Mr. Adams.

ROY A L A RTILLERY.—Gunner Taylor, a recruit be.
longing to this corps, while employed yesterday in learning to dis-
mount the gun and carriage used for instruction, by some means
slipped, and the weight of the metal of the gun falling on his leg,
crushed it in a dreadful manner, and he was under the necessity
of being conveyed by his comrades on the limber of the gun to the
Ordnance Hospital, and it is to be feared the leg will have to be
after only a fortnight's duty, instead of one month, the usual period
at that fortress, having been placed under orders for Halifax,
Nova Scotia. It was expected the Apollo troop-ship would have
returned from America in time for the embarkation of the two
companies under orders for that quarter of the world, but it ap.
pears from yesterday's intelligence from Canada, that the Apollo
is to convey the 43d Regiment from Quebec to Halifax, and the
46th Regiment from Halifax to Quebec, and w.ll then return to
England in about a month hence, with the two companies of Royal
Artillery ordered home from Canada. The authorities at Wool.
wich have in consequence requested another ship, to convey the
two companies of artillery to Halifax.
His Royal Highness Prince Charles of Sloms
Braunfels, youngest son of Prince Frederick William, and suite,
arrived at Mivart's Hotel on Tuesday last, from America. His
Serene Highness has been in the United States and Texas since
May in last year. He will in a few days leave this country to join
his family in Germany.

STATE OF TRADE.-1 he demand for yarn conti-
nues as good as for some weeks past ; and, the quantity on the
market being exceedingly small, prices, especially of the counts
under No. 40, have still an upward tendency. I❑ the goods'
market there is a fair business doing, and purchasers have
shown more inclination to enter into contracts for future deli-
very of good shirtings and printing cloths, but lighter fabrics
are not quite so good to sell as the better qualities.—Manches-
