CRICKET MATCHES.

We notice with much satisfaction the revival
of this manly end national sport, and we hope to
see it encouraged throughout the Empire. We
have often felt regret, that the amusements of ,the
Lower Orders of Society are overlooked ; for
if they were countenanced by the Gentry of the
Country, it would produce a most beneficial ef-
fect : it would revive the spirit of former days, and
draw the attention of the industrious classes from
the study of subjects not calculated to promote
their interests or contribute to the happiness of
their families. It would revive the natural and
legitimate influence of -the Landed Interest,.and
give-Ahem that weight and consequence, which
from the means they possess of doing good, they
should always obtain. For ourselves, it will give
us pleasure to notice` in our Journal these exhi-
bitions of the RURAL SPORTS of the Country—for
we- remember with much' gratification the feats
which were exhibited by old 5m.11.1., LumPLY,
and other celebrated cricketters in our early days,
than whom none since have shewn more skill•and
science in the game.

MARY7.EI3ONE.—a remarkable page was placed
on Monday in the annals of this game. A match began to be
played at Maryletrune between the county of Norfolk, with H.
Budd, Ladbroke, and —Brown, Esqrs. against the Maryle-
bone Club. The latter went in first. Altho tke Norfolk men
frequently obtained praise for their fielding, and though they
were assisted by the good and indefatigable bowling of Mr.
Budd, the Club left off, on Monday night, with .280 runs,and
five wickets of their first innings to go doWn, of which num-
ber William Ward, Esq. won 190. This latter number ex-
ceeds all the betting previously known in England. Lambert
once got 170 runs.

Sussux.---On Monday sennight Goodwood
Park was a scene of great iiilarity.—A vast concourse of
spectators was assembled, to witness a match of cricket, _be-
tween the Goodwood- and Chichester Clubs, which, from
the various fluctuations of the betting,' became a I'm)), inter-
esting game, notwithstanding it yet remains uniiecided. At
starting, 2 and 3 to 1 were betted in favour of Goodwood, but
at the close of their respective first innings.,GoodwoOd, lead-
ing by only 4, they getting 6G runs, and Chichester ht,-the
betting became free at even.- After d‘nner, when Goodwood
commenced their second innings, it Was under most unfavour-
able auspices; they lost six wickets.. for an inconsiderable
number of -runs, and 5-to 1 was laid on Chichester_; but
Mills and Millard remaining in till they had got 70 runs, 're-'
trieved their game,' and restored the odds once more in favour
of their own party. .Chichester went in against 100 inns, of
which number they obtained but 48, losing seven wickets.—
The match will- be played out in a few days, and S to 1- is bet-
ted against the city Club.—A great quantity of money chang-
ed hands, and label) more is depending on the result.

• HANTS.—Lymington, July 29.—The 'admirers
of the manly game of Cricket were highly gratified on Mon-
day last by a. match which was.; played on Pennington Corn--
Jr-len, between this town and Milford'. So great an assem-
blage of company was never remembered, and the Common
bore the appearance of a pleasure fair. Betting, at the on-
set, was 5 to 3 on Milford, which varied after the second in-
suing; of the Lymington Club to even, and afterwards, from
the Milford having 15 runs to get and 4 wickets to go down,
sto I was freely uttered throughout the field. Lymington
was victorious by G runs.

• The return Match -of Cricket between eleven
of En►sworth, and eleven of, Petersfield and seven adjoin-
ing parishes, was played on Friday and Saturday last, on
Petersfield Heath, and decided in favour of 'Einswortb, with

guage not only the most imprudent and unbecom
ing, but of so inflammatory a nature, that were it
uttered by any ordinary individual, it Would justly
become thesubject of a criminal information by the Attorney-General. Instead of expressing plea-
sure at the opportunity that is afforded her of
proving her innocence of the foul and heavy crimes
alleged against her, and glorying in the-proverbial
purity of British J ustice, she is made to appeal only
to the basest passions of the mob, .and
_ridiculously
to declare (as will be seen by her answer to the
Sunderland •Radicals)• that the public welfare is
identified iu her cause.. Most-unwarrantably.and
reprehensibly insinuating that the prosecution
against her is the commencement .of general ty-
ranny, the infamous wretches by whom she is
thus lamentably misled, dare to call the regular
process of the highest, most dignified and ho-
nourable Tribunal in the universe, assisted as
it will be by the. whole of the Learned Judges
of the Land," an Act of arbitrary Power,. which
will
_shake the Constitutional Liberty of the
-Kin4dom to its verp;Pase," render " the Rights
of the Nation only a scattered wreck," and " the
.people, like the meanest of slaves, submissive to
the lash of an insolent domination." We know
not whether this language is most to be charac-
terized for its gross ignorance, its` wilful false-
hood, or its atrocious infamy ; but certain we are
that it is not the language which an upright and
ingenuous mind could put into the mouth of in-
jured innocence. No man, .we are bold to say,
could lead the unfortunate Queen into so mischie-
vous a course, who did not meditate the de-
struction of our Laws, which are the admiration of
the universe, the overthrow of our Constitutional
system, which is the envy of all Foreign Nations,
and the subversion of all that rational and
beautiful order of things which has hitherto been
at once the peculiar boast and blessing of the
British People. So openly avowed, indeed; have
the objects of our Radical Revolutionists become
of late, that good and loyal pen are now intent
only upon-the necessary -means of self protection;
and we are rejoiced to find that the system of
patriotic association, which we early recommend-
likelyAo be universally adopted.

"fooling Chronicle.]

It was yesterday currently 'reported that Go-
vernment were about sending a squadron of ships
to the Mediterranean, and the surmise was, that
this determination had some connection with the
movements of Austrian troops ,in Italy. We
confess we do not credit the fact, for we cannot
conceive, in the present state of affairs at home,
that Ministers would seek to embroil themselves
abroad, though it is impossible to tell by what
Continental leagues they are bound. The Al-
gerines begin to evince symptoms of restlessness,
and possibly have already forgotten Lord Ex-
mouth's late visit among them, and this spirit
may, in all probability, induce Government to
send a squadron of observation to watch their
conduct.
