BLOODSTONE.—Amongst other lots, "the property of
a gentleman," advertised to he sold during the Warwick
Races, is " a chesnut colt, three yrs old, pedigree un-
known, no engagement." This colt has hitherto appeared
under the name and description of Bloodstone, by Bu-
bastes, ont of Romaike, as a two year old." We copy
the description from the sheet Calendar.

CRICKET.—CANTERBURY, AUG. 13.—This grand
match, Kent against England, was to have been com-
menced on the East Kent ground, at Canterbury, but the
wetness of the weather was such as to prevent all possi-
bility of play. The parties runained upon the ground
until nearly three o'clock, when it was determined to
postpcne the match until this morning. The match was
accordingly begun, " England" going in first. The
weather, however, was but little more favourable for the
sport than on the preceding day, far not only did the
rain compel the players to desist from their operations,
and to quit the ground, but just as their side had brought
their hands to a conclusion, the rain set in apparently
for the afternoon. Notwithstanding the inauspicious
appearance of the early part of the day, the ground was
very numerously and fashionably attended, nearly all
the leading families of that part of the county being pre-
sent. The score was 96 for England when the stumps
were raised.

JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES.—We were in error in
stating the other day that Captain O'Brien had been
appointed Principal Registrar under the provisions of
the Joint-stock Companies' Bill. Mr. O'Brien has been
appointed to the railway department of the Board of
Trade, an office which, from his business habits, he is
well qualified to fill.—Evening Paper.
RESUMPTION OF WORK BY THE SOUTH SHIELDS
COLLIERS.—The principal portion of the St. Hilda pit-
men went to work on Tuesday (yesterday) morning, and
the rest will go to work as soon as arrangements can be
made for their employment. This pleasing result has
been brought about by a portion of the inhabitants step-
ping in and acting as mediators. We hope that the
leading personages in other towns will act in the same
manner, and try to soothe down the unhappy differences
that now exist.—Tyne Mercury.
THE REV. JAcon SAMUEL.—We understand that
a summons for damages has been raised at the in-
stance of the Rev Jacob Samuel against the Rev. John
Hunter, minister of the Tron Church. Convener, and the
other members of the Committee of the Establishment
for promoting the Conversion of the Jews, con-
cluding for 1,000/ sterling as reparation to him
on account of their having failed to confirm his appoint-
ment as their principal missionary to the Jews, and for
the farther sum of 1,0001, in salut:urn " for the injury
done to his feelings and reputation" in consequence.-
-• Witness.

A TESTIMONIAL TO THE SPEAKER OF THE MUSE
OF COMMONS.—We really think, now that the session is
over, that a testimonial ought to be presented to the
Speaker of the House of Commons, as an expression of
public sympathy for his unprecedented sufferings this
year ; for if it he true, that there is nothing so
fatiguing as having nothing to do, what must it be to.,
watch six hundred people, night after night, doing
nothing for six months in the year ! We propose that
the testimonial consist of a handsome night-cap, with an
air cushion and pillow, a warming-pan, and a copy of
" Sleep at Will," to enable the Speaker to pass future
sessions in greater comfort, and repose.—Purch.
NOTTINGHAM.—A Romish cathedral," on a
larger and more magnificent scale than any built in
England since the Reformation, has been recently
erected in tl's town, and will be " opened" on Wednes- '
Catholicdatl)e g2:eBntltir.l. instant. A large number of the Roman
including- the Earl of Shrewsbury (who
has been a principal contributor), Lord Arundel, Lord
Camoys, Lord Dormer, Lord Newburgh, Viscount South-
well, the Hon. C. Clifford, the Hon. T. Stoner, Sir P.
Mostyn, Sir E. VavaSour, &c., are expected to be pre-
sent, and the solemn pontifical mass will be presided -
over
by Dr. Wiseman. The architect is Air. rtigin• .
