CRICKET.

mARVLEBONE CLUB V. THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.
This return match, which has excited such interest in the
sporting world, and particularly among the members of the
Universities, was on Tuesday decided in favour of the Mary-
lebone gentlemen, by their winning the match in one
innings, and with forty-three runs to spare, after two days'
beautiful and scientific play. The inclosure on Monday, as
well as on Tuesday, was crowded with amateurs of this
popular game. Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen on the
ground, we noticed the Earl of March (President of the
Nlarylebone Club), the Earl of Verularn, Lord F. Beauclerk,
Lord W. Beresford, Lord Gardner, Sir J. Bayley, Sir Hume
Campbell, the Hon. S. Montague, the Hon. R. Grimstone,
the Hon. S. Ponsonby, and the Hon. F. Ponsonby. It will
be seen that both elevens differ from the list of players we
published en Monday, Hillyer, a professional, being substi-
tuted on the Marylebone side fur Sir Frederick Bathurst,
whose absence was unavoidable, and Nicholson, Egg.,
and Massey, Esq., for the Earl of Aboyne, and G. F.
Bentinek, Esq. In the University eleven, H. Vivian.
Esq., NV. Trevelvan'Esq.,
Esq., and R. Barker, were re-
presented by W. Dc St. Croix, Esq., Hartopp, Esq., and
Druce, Esq. The Marylebone side went in first, and the
betting, in consequence of their previous success, was all in their
favour. They cleared, as will be seen from the subjoined score,
no less than two hundred and six runs, out of which Mr. Bailey
made fifty, including two fives, three fours, and three threes;
Mr. Taylor thirty-eight, comprising a six, seven twos, and a
three; and Mr. K)naston thirty-six, scoring among other fine
hits, two threes, two fours, and four twos. The batting of the e
gentlemen was much admired; indeed they are three of the best
wickets of the club. The Cantabs, in their first innings, ob-
tained only 50 runs, the batting and fielding of their adversaries
being very effective. Mr. Taylor and Hillyer, by their style
of bowling, lowered the wickets of the Cantabs in rapid suc-
cession. Mr. French, however, batted well, likewise Mr.
Pickering, the former clearing thirty-two in his first innings,
including a four, and six threes, and the latter, in his second
innings; of seventeen, out of which he got two fours and a
three. The batting of Messrs. De St. Croix and Dewing was
also of a superior order. In consequence of the innings of the
Cantabs being 100 runs less than those of the Marylebone gen •
tlemen, they were, according to the laws of the game, Cc/M-
-r:Red to go in fur their second innings, which they did, and
only exceeded their former score by three runs.

THE UNEMPLOYED.—During the last week there
have been several large meetings of a portion of the unern-
oloyed in the Green, where the causes of their present dis-
tress, and the best mode of alleviating it, have been amply dis-
cussed. At a meeting of this kind on Thursday, it was resolved
that, on the following day, they should proceed en masse to the
city, for the purpose of soliciting charity. On Friday fore
, -
noon accordingly, several hundreds of them assembled at the
Royal Exchange, with the view, it appears, of commencing
their tour of mendicancy through the city, by soliciting
assistance from the gentlemen who attend the room.
A benevolent gentleman, whose sympathies were excited
by the appearance of so many of his fellow-creatures
4erking bread, resolved on spending a sum of money for
the purchase of loaves, and proceeded, accompanied by the
greater portion of the unemployed, to a baker's shop in Argle-
treet, where he bought a number of loaves, and handed them

but, through the exertions of the Committee, it is hoped that
additional work will be speedily provided fur the greater

KENDAL, THURSDAY.—The crops of grain in this
neigbOurhood are of the most promising description. In po-
tatoes, the flat reds, of which there have been, as usual, many
planted hereabouts, have proved a failure, not one in twenty of
the sets having made their appearance. In such cases the
ground is being re-set. with those of other descriptions.
The most agreeable of all companions is a simple,
frank man, without any high pretensions to an oppressive
greatness; one who loves life, and understands the use of it;`
obliging, alike at all hours; above all, of a golden temper, and'
steadfast as an anchor. For such a one we gladly exchange;,
the greatest genius, the most brilliant wit, the profoundest:
