TEA AND SUGAR PRESENTS.—On the coming down
of the writ for an election to Lewes, it is usual for
the parties to present a gift, in the name of a lady, of
one pound of tea, to all the wives of the electors who
choose to accept it, and add some sugar to sweeten it.
This costs either party about 1301. each.—(lso6.)

STATED PRICES.--Mr. James Coppock, in giving
evidence respecting the elections in this borough,
stated that the bribery was done quite openly, and
that there were no contrivances for concealment; the
price being as well known among the electors as any
circumstance of the day.

CRICKET MATCHES.
KENT v. ENGLAND.

The match of cricket playing at Canterbury—Kent
and All England--is likely to extend to at least four
days play, the first innings of Kent and two wickets of
England having occupied the whole of Monday and
Tuesday. Kent, on resuming the play on Tuesday, lost
Pilch without his having added to his previous day's
score of 98. Mr. A. Mynn added 11 to his previous 16;
Wenman did not score ; Dorrington made 15 ; Messrs,
Whittaker and W. Baker 3 each ; and Mr. E. Bayley 5,
not out. Their whole score amounted to 278—the precise
number once made by that celebrated player, Mr.
Ward, from off his bat. England with the loss of
Fenner and Box, had scored 121, -Alen the game ceased
last night with Barker and Guy at the wickets ; the
former had fetched 53 runs, and the latter 36. Box had
a score of 22 when caught by A. Mynn ; and Fenner
scored one whon he lost his wicket by Hyllyer.
The game, though still much in favour of Kent, is yet
to be won by England, judging from the great score made
at the price of two wickets only.
The ground was on Monday well attended, and yes-
terday upwards of 2,500 persons were present.
The following is the score up to its close last night:—

MATCHES BETWEEN THE STUDENTS OF THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AT LORD'S.—The matches which are played
annually at Lord's between the young gentlemen of
Eton, Harrow, and Winchester schools, have at length
concluded, after six days' play, in the course of which
the main points of this fine, manly, and athletic game,
that of batting, bowling, and fielding were scientifically
illustrated by these young aspirants for cricketing fame.
We may here remark that these contests always occa-
sion much stir and bustle at Lords', and invariably excite
considerable interest of a speculative nature among the
aristocratic members of the Marylebone and other
fashionable Clubs, and also those noblemen and gentle-
men who join in the varied diversions at this renowned
sporting establishment, doubtless in consequence of most
of them having been prepared for the Universities at
these celebrated public schools, and also from their
having played when students in these matches. The
Wykehamites, last season, proved themselves the best
players, beating the Etonians and Harrowians, the
Etonians coming off second best, by defeating the Har-
rowians, but this year the result has been very different,
the Harrowians having achieved a great triumph, by
winning both these matches with the Wykehamites and
Etonians, the former also being defeated by the latter.
The play, in consequence of the unpropitious state of
the weather at the commencement of the games, has
been somewhat protracted, the matches seldom occupy-
ing more than four days. The students of the three
schools have this year good reason to be proud of their
representatives, each eleven including some first-rate
players, while others are most promising cricketers ;
and the improvement in their play since the last time
they appeared at Lord's, is very apparent, particularly
the Harrowians, who, on this occasion, had to contend
with opponents much their superior in point of height,
Weight, and physical power. The Etonians and Wyke-
hamites were well matched.
The first game played was between the Wykehamites
and Harrowians. The latter went in first, and scored
69, out of which the Hon. C. Agar (c. by Mr. G.
Bright) marked 13, with a four, two twos, and five
ones ; Mr. J. Marshall (c. by Mr. P. Williams) 13, with
a five, a four, a two, and two single runs ; Mr. A. Hay-
garth (c. by Mr. Williams) 9 ; and Mr. H. Gathorne
(not out) 5. Byes, 10 ; wide balls, 7.
The Wykehamites, in their first innings, made 126 ;
Mr. Williams (not out), 28, with two fours, three threes,
two twos, and seven single hits ; Mr. 0. W. Holloway
(c. by the Hon. C. Agar), 24, with a five, a four, a three,
two twos, and eight ones ; Mr. V. C. Smith (e. by Mr.
W. Nicholson), 21, with a four, five, three, a two, and
three single runs ; Mr. J. Freeling (run out), 13, with a
fbur, a three, a two, and four ones ; Mr. H. Ray (c. by
Mr. Nicholson), also scored 13 ; the Hon. C. B. Lyon
(b. by Mr. Gathorne) 4 ; and Mr. W. G. Tupper (b. by
the Hon. Agar), 4. Byes, 8 ; wide balls, 2.
The Harrowians in their second innings scored 15.
Mr. Nicholson (b. by Mr. Williams), 52; with four fours,
four threes, two twos, and the remainder by single runs ;
the Hon. H. Agar (b. by Mr. Tupper); 26, with two
threes, three twos, and fourteen ones ; Mr. Haygarth
(b. by Mr. Gaythorne), 12, with a three, a two and seven
ones. Byes 12 ; wide balls, 16.
The Wykehamites, in their second innings, obtained
68. Mr. Ray (run out) 15; Mr. W. F. Wickham (b. by
Mr. Gathorne), 12; the Hon. C. B. Lyon (c. by the
Hon. C. B. Agar), 8 ; and Mr. G. Bright (b. by Mr.
Agar), 7. In this innings there was only one bye and
two wide balls. The Harrowians thus won the match
by 28 runs. In the course of this game some very beau-
tiful and scientific play was exhibed. Of the Harrowians,
who particularly distinguished themselves, may be
mentioned Mr. Gaythorne, whose bowling was of the
first order. He lowered, in the two innings, seven
wickets. Mr. Nicholson, the Hon. H. Agar, the Hon.
C. Agar, Mr. Haygarth, and Mr. Marshall, batted very
effectively. Of the Wykehamites the bowling of Messrs.
Wickham and Williams was much admired, also the bat-
ting of the latter and Mr. Smith (a substitute), Mr. Hol-
loway, and Mr. Ray. Both elevens fielded uncommonly
well.

The next match was between the Etonians and Har.
rowians, the latter obtaining in their first innings 141.
Mr. W. A. Commerell (run out) 33, with a four, three
threes, a two, and eighteen single runs. The Hon. C.
Agar (run out), 16, with two fours, a three, and five ones.
Mr. Haygarth (b.lby Mr. T. Alarcon), 14, with a four, a
three, and eight ones. Byes, 38; wide balls, 15.
The Etonians in their first innings made 79. Mr. S.
Randolph (b. by Mr. Gathorne) 20, including two threes
and two twos. Mr. H. Fellowes (b. by Mr. Gathorne)
17, with a five, two fours, and two ones. Mr. H. Garth
(b. by the Hon. A. Agar) 11, with a four, a three, a two,
and two ones. Byes, 2; wide balls, 5.
The Harrowians in their second innings cleared 121.
Mr. Commerell (c. by Mr. Marriott) 37, with a four,
three threes, four twos, and fourteen single hits. Mr.
Haygarth (c. by Alarcon) 11. Byes, 28; wide balls, 4.
The Etonians in their second innings got 118. Mr.
Alarcon (not out), 155, with a six, a five, a four, eight
threes,three twos, and ten single hits ; Mr. M. Ainslie
(c. by Mr. Conmerell),, 11 ; and Mr. Marriott (c. by Mr.
Nicholson), 11. Byes, 7 ; wide balls, 19. There was
some fine play exhibited during this match ; that of Mr.
Nicholson and Mr. Commerell (Harrowians), and Mr.
Marcon. Mr. Randolph, and Mr. Fellowes (Etonians),
being frequently applauded by the spectators. The bowl-
ing of Mr. Marcon and Air. Fellowes did great execu-
tion. The Harrowians won the match by five runs.
The concluding match between the Wykehawites and
Etonians was well contested throughout. The Wyke-
hamites went in first, and marked 106 ; Mr. Freeling
(b. by Mr. Fellowes), 36. The Hon. C. B. Lyon (run
out), 22 ; Mr. R. Wynne (not out), 14. Byes, 14 ;

Mr. Holloway, (b. by Mr. Ainslie), 38 ; Mr. Hughes
(not out), 32 ; the Hon. C. B. Lyons (run out), 21.
Byes, 34, wide balls, 5.

-The Etonians in their second innings scored 74, with
only thrae wickets down, thus winning the match.
The ground each day was most numerously and
fashionably attended.

MASS FOR THE DUKE OF ORLEANS.—Yesterday
the last solemn mass was performed at the French Catholic
Chapel, Portland-place, fur his late Royal Highness the Duke
of Orleans. The service was attended by the French Ambas-
sador and his suite, and a great number of persons, amongst
whom were several distinguished foreigners. A mass was also
performed in the French Catholic Chapel, Somers' Town.
Yesterday morning about a quarter to two o'clock, a
fire broke out at Mr. Kitchener's, grocer, No. 10, Bowling-
green-lane, Clerkenwell, which might have been attended with
fatal consequences, but for the timely arrival of the parish en-
gines, which did not, however, succeed in extinguishing it
until nearly the whole of the shop had been destroyed. Happily
no lives were lost.

THAMES ROYAL YACHT CLUB.
The closing sailing match of the season amongst yachts be-
longing to this distinguished Club was on Tuesday decided. They
started at eleven on Monday, and after drifting to Erith, in the
space of five hours, were obliged to turn back, their captain
feeling that it would be impossible, against the tide, to ar-
rive at the distance buoy at Coalhouse Point, before five o'clock,
as required by the articles of the Club. It was then determined
that, in accordance with the rules, the match should be re-
sailed on the following day ( Tuesday). The owners were at
their pouts early, as the morning indicated but little more air
than on the previous day ; and as there had been no opportunity
whatever of going through the necessary preparations for a
steam-boat excursion, the Commodore, W. Harrison' Esq.,
took his place in the Fortuna to witness the contest. At ten
o'clock the boats were at their stations, the wind having fresh-
ened, and blowing from the east with a little of the south in it.
The signal was given at a quartet-past ten, and Messrs. Mee-
som's Gnome, of 24 tons, and Mr. Gunston's Champion, of 25
tons started, the distance being to Coalhouse Point, and back
to Greenwich. The Champion took the lead, and held it, ar-
riving first at the distance buoy at three o'clock, the Gnome
being eighteen minutes later. The Champion retained the
lead, run up in gallant style, and arrived at Greenwich, front-
ing the Hospital, at a quarter to six, and the Gnome at six
o'clock. The Club then assembled et the Royal Yacht Tavern,
when, after an excellent dinner, the handsome service of plate
was presented to Mr. Gnnston by the Commodore.
SHADWELL REGATTA.

The annual wager amongst the watermen plying in the
vicinity for a skiff and other prizes, subscribed for by the ladies
and gentlemen of St. Paul's, Shadwell, took place on Tues-
day, and appeared to afford a great degree of amusement to
the " natives." It was a scullers' wager by six free watermen,
in five heats, upon the very old fashioned principle that the
first man of the first heat and first of the second should lay by,
and the four worst contend for the third heat; the two best of
them, with the two who had lain by, for the fourth ; and the
two first of.these for the fifth heat. At one o'clock, William
Dove, Shadwell-deck-stairs, red ; Robert Skinner, King
James's-stairs, }ellow ; and Horatio Nelson, ditto; pink, started
for the first heat, which was won by red. Direetiv.after the
conclusion of this, William Lane, of-Cole-stairs, white; John
Barnes, Bell-wharf, green ; and James Mickerson, blue, rowed
the second heat, which was decided in favour of white. The
four unsuccessful men then . started for. the third heat, which
was won by yellow and pink, and the fourth heat by red and
yellow. At a little after seven, the two last-named went away
for the grand heat, the distance extending, as in the former
heats, from Shadwell-dock, and row three times round, the
whole way from Bell-wharf to New Crane. After a sharp heat
red came in first, winning the boat.

S PAIN.

ST. SEBASTIAN, JULY 28.—The following manifesto
addressed to the men and officers of the Army of the
North, by General San Miguel, immediately on his
arrival in Vittoria, has just been published here :
" TO THE CHIEFS, OFFICERS, AND MEN COMPOSING THE

ARMY OF THE 12TH MILITARY DISTRICT.
" Companions in Arms and Fellow Soldiers,—Placed
at your head by the order of his Highness the Regent of
the kingdom, I do hereby announce to you, that it is my
fixed determination to employ my best energies in order
to render myself deserving of the confidence thus reposed
in me.

" Our duties as soldiers are simple. To defend with
courage and loyalty the independence of the nation
against external enemies • to protect the laws and public
order against the internal foes and traitors who may at-
tempt to disturb them. Such are the duties and obliga-
tions which our country imposes on us. On all occasions
you have proved to the world that you are animated by
the desire to perform so glorious a task ; and such are
the titles which have given you a claim to the esteem
and affection of all,good citizens.
" That portion of the country which is included in the
12th military district is distinguished for love of labour
and the industrious character of its inhabitants. Its first
necessity is the preservation of peace and of public order,
under the influence of which it can alone attain to prospe-
rity and happiness. If, then, any individual, whatever
be the mask he may assume, shall dare to promote dis-
order, or to disturb the laws and the political system by
which we are at present governed, you will, I trust, be
ready to repress his audacity with the valour and pa-
triotism which always distinguish Spanish soldiers.
Should the moment of danger arrive, you will see me,
who am a veteran in the cause of Spanish liberty and
independence, more than ever ready to lead you on in the
good cause.

" Companions in arm ! the first Alag,istrate of the na-
tion is at the same time its first soldier, and this noble
character is his best title to glory. No one better knows
the necessities of the valiant Spanish army, no one la-
bours more for its well-being, and no one makes greater
efforts in order that merit and good service shall meet
with their due recompense.
" But, above all, do not forget that subordination is
the soul of military service ; and that without the strict
observance of the principles of good discipline, armies
cannot exist.

" Long live the Constitution of 1837, the Queen Donna
Isabella 11., and the Regent, the Duke of Victory and
ltorilla ! " EVARISTO SAN MIGUEL.
" Vittoria, July 25."
The General is expected to arrive here this evening ;
he was to have slept last night at Tolosa.
The 4th of next month is the day now confidently
named for the arrival of Don Francisco Paulo with his
family at San Sebastian.
