ne - RUGBY SenooL V. WELLEsnounNE Cm:tn.—The
no : match between these parties was played on. the Rugby
ry ground on Thursday last, when the school eleven won in.

4. I mainly attributable to the fine slow bowling .of Mr.
, i Eippingall.
WORCESTERSHIRE v. SuitorsuißE.--Theselvicoun-
ties tilayed their " return match" on the Skreiftbusy
ground, on Wednesday and Thursday last.. The " Sas-
opians" won by 61 runs, and having been the victors in.
i 1
_ e first match, have thus placed themselves in the
1.,' t Imphant position of conquerors of the year.- To en-
' iris them, however, to maintain this rank, let us advise
th4'.'m
to be early and actively in the field next season,
for ssr: htive heard that their opponents will not only be
brit are likely to gain an accession of strength.
5.C•1'l 'HE NORTHAMPTON WIND-UP MATCH.—There are
fer„ sounties or towns in the United Kingdom, wherein
the di, =position to support the game of cricket has been
manires, '
ed, during the present season, so strongly and
so eil•ecti. rely as in that of Northampton. It affords us,
therefore, ,'lore than ordinary gratification to find that
i the occasion s.
of their " Nind-up" match for 1844 was so
tier
well attended, a.
-id that the dill went off so admirably.
The latter was not. only parts tier. of by the players, with
the Hon. Captain Spe..-icer (the I..srs,:her of Earl Spencer),
as the president of the club, at the,." ;lead, but the event
was honoured by the presence of the Iv. fisfor, and upwards
of fifty of the leading gentry of the nei' -fsbourhotxl. The
spirited manner, indeed, in which the I\fpor.'iiii.Mpton Club
got up the grand match between the 4. n'ertbern and
southern counties," demands the admires:.on of all
cricketers, and the thanks of the inhabitants of-,the sur-
rounding districts. Such fineness of play, and such a
display and il!ustration of the science of the game, had
never been seen in that part or the kingdom. It reio.4ces
'is, therefore, to learn that that match has had the s fit -ct
o.
' giving an impulse to this English pastime through It
this portion of her Majesty's dominions. To the ext., -
tions of the lion. Captain Spencer, 0. Nethercote, Esq,

FLEE NEAR RED. LION-SQUARE.--Yesterday morn-
ing a fire was discoverexi by police-constable E 126 upon
the premises belonging to Mr. F. Taylor, wholesale
candle manufacturer, carry :'ng on business at No. 3,
Orange-street, Red Lion-squeve. When first seen the
flames were raging furiously in one of the storehouses on-
the basement floor. The intelligeOce was promptly for-
warded to the engine stations, ani shortly after five
engines of the London Brigade were ,at the scene, as
well as the West of England one. An ins.tant supply of
water was procured, and the firemen set to work most
vigorously, and soon extinguished the flames ; oot, how-
ever, until considerable damage was done, the oreater
part of the stock in that part of the building whexel the
fire originated being destroyed, and the remaimier
seriously injured. The origin of the fire is not known:.
One fortunate circumstance was the early discovery of
the fire ; had it been a little later, to say the least, a
most perfect and destructive conflagration must have
been the result. Mr. Taylor is insured in the Union
and Hand-in-Hand offices. The same premises were
consumed by fire about four years since.
DEATH OF MR. Ross, THE COMEDIAN.—It IS
with sincere regret we announce the death of this little
favourite. A little before the Christmas of last year he.
was engaged by Mr. Webster for the Liverpool Theatre.
On his journey thither he caught a severe cold, dan-
gerous symptoms appeared, and in May he returned to
London. At his own request be was conveyed to Guy's
Hospital, where his case received every attention. He
expired about twenty minutes to seven on Friday night.
Mr. Ross for many years supported his aged father and
mother. He has left a widow to lament his loss, but no.
children. Mr. Ross was a member of the Drury-lane
Theatrical Fund, from which source we trust his widow
may obtain, if not a competence, at least assistance,. in
this her hour of trouble and deprivation.
ALLOWANCE TO INSOLVENTS UNDER THE NEW-
ACT.—On Saturday, in the Court of Bankruptcy, Mr.
Sturgeon applied, in the case of an insolvent named
Sheppard, for an allowance out of his estate, to obtain
his final order. The insolvent was a prisoner in Bury
St. Edmund's gaol, and now appeared on his interim
order, to which no opposition had been made, and the
final order was appointed. Mr. sturgeon said there was
241. in Court, and he asked for a small sum for the ex -
penses to be incurred, and for the support of the insol-
vent's family. The Court found that on a final order an
allowance could be made, and the official assignee might
consider whether the fees could be advanced to the man.
At present he made no order.
ANTI-CORN-LAW TRACTS.—Mr. William Grice, of
Ulverstone, has been employed for several days past in
distributing extensively in Ulverstone, and the surround-
ing neighbourhood, a variety of tracts and papers pub-
lished by the League ; and while so engaged at Dalton,
was accosted by an individual well known for his mono-
polist opinions, who asked what he had got, to which
Grice replied, " Anti-Corn-law tracts;" and said " will
you have one?" " Yes," was the reply ; and imme-
diately on receiving it the person above-mentioned tore
it in pieces, saying Grice ought to be beaten out of the
town with a stick. Grice civilly said he thought no one
would venture to do that, and then coolly turned his:
back en this specimen of vulgarity and impertinence.
This incident shows in some degree the limited amount
of intelligence possessed by many of the pro-corn-law
men in this district. A repetition of such-like occurrences
will tend, however, more to arouse attention ; and
despite every effort to suppress facts, they will show
themselves with a bold front, and each and all exist-
ing " protection " fallacies must and will ere long ex
plod e.—Lancaster Guardian.
Bishop Phillpotts, at the Christian Knowledge So-
ciety, the other day, reported that lie bath a brother who,
although an officer of Artillery at Ceylon, is yet such a.
trernendJus" Christian, that he loves him more for that
than his consanguinity. As a proof of his Christian feeling,
he wrote to inform his bishop-brother that there were a
touplc of bishops wanted for that island alone.— Western

Tittles.
The Episclpal Free Church will be opened in this
city on Thursday next, by the Rev. H. B. Bulteel, formerly
Fellow and Tutor of Exeter College, Oxford. The
exent excites much interest. Mr. Bulteel is reported to
be an admirable and eloquent preacher.— Western Times.
FIRST IMPORTATION OF WEST INDIAN SUGAR: A.
large and fine West Indianian, the Codrington, belong-
ing to the firm of Liggins and Co., arrived from the
West Indies, and entered the Southampton docks on
Monday morning, to discharge her cargo of sugar. This
is the first arrival in our docks of a West Indiaman
homeward, and we hail it as the commencement of a new
and extensive branch of trade at our port. Its superio-
rity as a port of departure fur emigrants has already
been fully acknowledged, and acted upon, by that public
spirited gentleman, Mr. John Marshall ; and we have
no doubt that many London houses will soon follow the
example now set by Mr. Liggins. We understand that
several vessels are expected speedily to follow the Co-
drington.—Hampshere Independent.
DEATH FROM FlGHTlNG.—Yesterday morning, $
little before eight o'clock, a man named George Benson,
a labourer, 22 years of age, was killed in a fight which
took place by appointment, between him and a man
named Henry Jones, aged 21, also a labourer, at a place
much used for similar encounters on a Sunday morning,
situate on the east side of the Kensington-canal. The
spot is a hollow screened from observation of the neighbour-
ing houses by banks of earth. Jones stated, on being
taken into custody by the police, that on the previous
night he and deceased, with others, were at the Welles-
ley Arms public-house, Robert-street, Chelsea, when a
dispute arose concerning some work upon which they
were all engaged, in the course of which he and de-
ceased came to blows. After having two or three rounds
they were parted ; and they then agreed to meet in the
morning near the Canal-basin, to decide which was the
better man. They met accordingly, and fought for
about a quarter of an hour, during which three or four
knock-down blows were given. It was stated that a
man named Hele was second to Jones, and a brother of
the deceased seconded him, and that in the last round
Jones struck deceased a violent blow under the left ear,
when deceased fell to the ground partly on his head.
He was immediately lifted up, and placed on his second's
knee, when he said, " I shall have no more of it ; I am
done for," and instantly fell down dead. Jones and his
second. and the deceased's second, with two other per-
sons who were)t

A CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA.—The following is
given in the Politique as a fact, but we may be permitted
to doubt it:—" A valuable sporting dog belonging to a
gentleman named D—, having been bitten by a mad
dog, and sickened, its owner determined to destroy it by
administering a large quantity of arsenic in the form of
a bolus. The poison, however, instead of producing
death, produced a radical cure."
THE EIGHTON MURDER.—On Friday last, the in-
quiry into the death of Thomas Robson, the unfortunate
pitman who was shot dead by some person unknown, on
the 10th ult., was resumed before Mr. J. M. Fayell, the
coroner, at the Red Robin Inn, Wrekenton. Some wit-
nesses were examined, but their testimony did not tend
to implicate any individual parties in the dark transac-
tion. After a tedious investigation, the jury withdrew
about half-past eight in the evening to consider the evi-
dence, and at ten minutes to eleven returned a verdict of
" Wilful murder against some person or persons un-
known."—Carlisle Journal.
We understand that the attention of scientific men
is directed to what is expected to prove a new method 'oE
generating steam, viz., by a galvanic flame directed .with
such force as to cause water to boil. Experiments are
being made, and, if successful to the full extent, they
must be of the highest importance in furthering steauz
navigation to the most distant parts of the globe.
