CRICKET.

THE Finnic SCHOOLS' MATCHEIZ—The first of these in-
teresting and exciting contests commenced at Lord's on Wed-
nesday, but the stormy state of the weather prevented any
great progress being made. This match was
HARROW v. WINCHESTER.—The vast contrast between
the contending elevens created an additional interest,
which it will readily be conceived was greatly increased
towards the latter part of the match, because, whilst
the Winchester gentlemen were all young men and
grown in proportion, those of Harrow, with the exceptions of
Currer and Blayds, were particularly small, and in fact were
much. younger than their opponents. It will, notwithstand-
ing this disproportion of age and stature, be found that the
" little ones" had very nearly run off with the laurels of the
day, for although they were put in for their second innings
with a score of 190 against them, they manfully took the bull
by the horns, and played one of the best " up hill" games
that has been seen upon this ground for many years.

How TO GET FREE QUARTERS IN LONDON.—Why
the deuce don't you make yourself useful to the commonwealth by
calculating a gradient, laying down a curve, or preparing a table of
traffic in order to obtain the proper qualification for a railway wit.
mess ? Nothing in this world is easier. You hare only to sit at
your window for a given amount of hours once a week, and note
down the number of cabs and carts which jingle along the Brownie-
law ; and, it you like that better, to ascertain the quality of the
soil three feet beneath your own winecellar, and you are booked for a
month's residence in London, free quarters in a first-rate hotel, five
guineas a day, and all expenses paid.—Blachwood's Magazine.

committee, arid transacting the usual business of the society. The
Rev. George Greaves, M.A., in the chair. The Rev. J. Glanvitly,

making a total of 64 who have been upon the foundation during
the year. Of that number, 19 have been sent to respectable situa-
tions, 9 reconciled and restored to their friends, 1 left the asylum,
and 1 died in the house ; leaving at present 33 upon the establish.
ment. The debt of the society has been reduced during the past
year from 454/. Ss. 2d. to 471. Is. Bd. The income amounted to
1,6271. 12s. I 1 d., and the expenditure to 1,442/. 145., leaving a
balance in the bankers' hands of 1741. lie. 11d. Zhe report was
unan►mously adopted, and the meeting broke up.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, July 31.
- - -

GREAT WESTERN (DUBLIN AND GALWAY)

RAILWAY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had not read
the evidence, and as it would be difficult to prosecute
the witness on the whole of the evidence he had given,
perhaps the Noble Earl would point out those passages
with respect to which he considered he ought to be
prosecuted.—(The Noble Earl conferred with the Lord
Chancellor, and pointed out the particular parts of the
evidence.)
The Earl of BESBOROUGII then said the part of
the evidence to which he wished particularly to call the
attention of their Lordships, with a view to his prosecu-
tion, was that part in which Stinton denied that he knew
Baldwin, and in which he afterwards, on being con-
fronted with Mrs. (bolding, admitted that he did. A
person named Stanley was called in, who iden-
tified him as a person who hail signed the con-
tract-deed ; that he left the room, and, after an
absence of half an hour, returned and signed the
deed in another name ; that he went out a se-
cond time, and again returned in about half an hour,
and signed under another name.—(liear, hear.) Hart,
the clerk, could nut undeitake to say that he signed in
more than one name—in any other name than the one
in which he received the script. Ilis motion was that
the Attorney-General be directed to prosecute this
person.

Lord CAMPBELL said, from his experience of pro-
secutions by order of the House, which frequently were
unattended with the results which were expected, he
should strongly advise the House to well consider the
case before they came to the resolution of prosecuting.
The person acknowledged that he had signed the deed
in other names than his own, and had consequently
acknowledged his guilt, and havinr, thus been guilty of
gross impropriety, he ought to have been reported to the
House. In such a case, the judge who tried it would tell
the jury that he had not committed perjury. lie was, no
doubt, guilty of great prevarication ; but, as he had said,
he did not think that a charge of perjury could is main-
taineds gaiust him.
Lord COTTENIIAIi said from what he had heard of,
the evidence and of the way in which the witness ex-
plained himself, he apprehended that there would be
great difficulty in prosecuting him for perjury. But
where a witness grossly misconducted himself, as in this
case, it should be referred to the Attorney-General,
who should prosecute him if he thought fit, and, there-
,ore, the House should direct that officer to prosecute
him. He apprehended that there was no danger of a
person escaping, unless the Attorney-General should
happen to a come to a wrong decision.
Lord CAMPBELL said the Attorney-General had no
jurisdiction without the direction of the House, whose
servant he was, and whose injunctions he was bound to
obey. In the great case of Stockdale the Attorney-
General was ordered to prosecute by the House.
The Earl of WicKLQW said that if the Committee

about to commit perjury, and if you do so, aft-er this in.
timation, you are amenable to judgment, and they
will be obligedln take cognizance of it." - .

Lord MONTEAGLE said that their L,rdAiips could
not well avoid taking notice of the matter, , had they
not already exhibited very great incon.istency in not
proceeding in the case ; for the individuai had had it in
his power to have put himself out of the reach of their
Lordships. The whole case exhibited a system of fraud
and trickery: which might be provided against by their
Lordships' House.
After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR,
who supported the suggestion of Lord Montesgle,
Lord BESBOROUGFI moved that the case be re-
ferred to a Select Committee of the House for.. investi-
gation. .. •• •
Lord CO FTENHAM did not see that the House
could proceed against the individual John Stinton for an
offence, if the offence were not committed against the
House.

The Earl of DEVON suppinied the motion of the.
Noble Lord (Lord B..sborough).—Agreed to.
Lord REDESDALE presented petitions from. Weste
winster, and the City of London, praying for the po-t-
-ponement of the Lunacy Bill.
The House then resolved itself into Commiltee on
the Bill for the protection of Seamen entering Merchant
Ships.

The Bill then went through Committee, pro forma.
The House resumed.

TITHES. •
Lord CAMPBELL presented two petitions, praying
a rectification of the statute respect rig the commutation
of tithes. The Noble Lord added that legislation on the
subject was absolutely necessary. But for that Act, the
commutation of tithes would have lung since taken place
all over the kingdom.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said different construc-
tions had been put upon Lord Tt nterden's Act on this
subject, and he agreed with the Noble Lord in thinking
that legislation on the suhjoct t' as tuts. beck). tite(s.ary.
He would, next session, bring in a the.subjtet.
