(iIIZAT CAMILA? ]Lases, AND DaaADTIIL ACCIIYANT, AT DAT-
Nai.,;--The great Cricket* Match between 55 Sheffield and II
Nottingham players, for which great preparations have latterly
been making on the new ground at Darrel. near this place, com-
menced yesterday forenoon. The contest having excited a pe-
culiar interest in and around the town, the concourse of specta-
tors was proportionately great; never, perhaps, pn any occasion,
was witnessed an assemblage at once so numerous and respect-
able. Sheffield seemed almost to pour out the principal part of
its population, the road being literally covered all the morning
with crowds astening to the scene of the expected enjoyment.
I Litt* was it then inspected that before the expiration of the
day the pleasure of it was to be dashed by one of the most af-
ileting accidents that we have had to record for some time back.
The playing commenced; the weather, with the exception of
One • shower,. was highly favourable, and all went on weU till
about four b Clock, when a large extent of scaffolding, which
hadbeen fitted up oti the ground, near the road side, foe.the
accommodation of several thousands of spectators, having Dine
tier of seats, and being nearly 40 yardi long, suddenly gave way,
and precipitated its unfortunate tenants one over the other on the
ground. Shrieks, screams, and groans rent the air on all sides,
and the scene of enaction which ensued wao indescribably sides
fecting. Every hand was instantly engaged in extricating tike
sufferers; every possible accommodation was offered, and every
vehicle put in requisition to convey them away to their respec-
tive homes. It is with painful feelings that we have to add that
two persons were killed upon the spot, and between 40 and 50
more or less maimed. We dare not vouch for our correctoess,,
although we have endeavoured to gain the best information we
were able; but amidst so much distressing confusion, the extent
of the mischief cannot'svith accuracy be 'yet ascertained, and
even the names of the parties we could not procure. Late last
night 23 cages had been admitted into the Infirmary, four or live
of which were pronounced very dangerous.—mod Advertiser,
August 27.

Last night, notwithstanding the very unfavourable
state of the weather, a numerous company was at-
tracted to these delightful Gardens, to enjoy the
splendid Gala prepared by the Proprietors, for the
last night of a season the most successful of any ex..'
perienced within the last ten years. The brilliancy
and number of the lamps last night exceeded any
thing ever witnessed. In the centre at the Gardens
was the following appropriate motto, in amber-
coloured lamps, ornamented with laurel:
WE RESPECTFULLY SAY--FAREWELL."
At the commencement of the Second Aet of the
Concert, Mr. C. TAvr,oe delivered from the .Or-
chestra the following Address, which was received
with tumultuous applause: .
"1 Lavans nee Goruarantar--The period Miring arrived. when
these Gardoes dose for the Season, I am deputed by the Pro-
prietors is endeavour to express to you the deep.sense they es-
te:vain of the distinguished patronage and libiSafity with which
you have honoured this Establishment.
" Oinntenanoed, as they have been, by the Gracious Sanc-
tion of his Majesty's Name, and the great resort of the Nobility,
and. Putalbc at lane, they carrot but feel the warmest gratitude
for Inch favours; and I an apprehensive that, in attempting us
ewes their deep Most a( obligation, I shall fail in doing jade,
to tkeir feelings.
" The Proprietors have ascertained, with *awe and_with
pride, that the English Nation takes a peculi.o interest ia the
preservation and continuance of these favourite Gardens, wipe
elated as they are m teasembraoce with years of maim* and.
lively anoscusent ; and to cherish and deserve this regard will
ever be their stady and delight.
They have great pleasure in alluding to a new feature of
attraction, they have this Season given to the Gardens—the its.
conk Fde, which excited such universal satisfaction, that a re-
petition of it has been much desired, seen during tke present Sea-
son. k will be annually continued, at the swat convenient period
gke laidiOr•
" Lit the Vocal and Instrumental Department, both novelty
*ad variety have been introduced ; and the assiduous endeavours
of the Propiletors will be directed to give such a character to
thlsitraisch of their amusements as shall be worthy of the Mu-
sical Time of the country.
" In the Mechanical, Scenic, and Pyrotechnic Departments—
In the Deamaduns and Illuminations—they have already intro-
duced awl piece novelties- and still further improvements are
niedita•,-.1, which they trust will equal any expectation that may
be excited in the Public, by this announcement of their design.
With regard to the Amusements generally, the Gardens came
into the hands of the present Proprietors but a very short period
before the conaniencement of the Season now terminating ; but,
as far as that limited time would admit of their efforts no ex-
pense or exertion has been spared to render them worthy of the
high popularity which they have attained.
" The Proprietors are most happy to find, that the Quality
and Price of the Wines and Refreshments have given the highest
satisfaction, and created a demand far beyond their anticipation.
" The Proprietors feel highly gratified in being able to state,
that only one or two instances of irregularity, which were im-
mediately suppressed, and not one of depredation has occurred
throughout the whole Season ; and you may be assured, Ladies
and (kink men-, that to maintain the order, decorum, and re-
putation of theie Gardens, the same care will be unremittingly
employed; and there tan be no doubt employed with the same
Success.
" I ant desired, Ladies and Gentlemen, to add, that the Pro-
prietors pledge themselves that their past exertions to please
you dull be exceeded by the future. During the recess their
efforts will be incessant to merit a continuance of the encourage-
ment they have received ; and to redeem their pledge, no per-
limal trouble nor pecuniary considerations will deter them front
selecting and introducing every novelty that is adapted to this
place of Amusement, and worthy of the taste and judgment of a
British Public. •
" For the Proprietors, and every Member of this Establish-
ment, permit me to return their grateful acknowledgments: and
assuring you, that to merit the continuance of your approbation
will be their highest pleasure and proudest boast, in the words
of the Motto of the Evening—

" WE RESPECTFULLY SAY-,FAREWELL."

The amusements of the • evening consisted of a
combination of every novelty produced in the course
of the season, and, from the darkness of the night,
the unrivalled display of Fire-works never appeared
to greater advantage.
The company lingered till a late hour, as if un-
willing, on their parts, to say—" Farewell!"

The late Marquis of LONDONDERRY Was, in all per.
sonal pecuniary transactions, most generous and
• high-minded. Before his father's death, his private
fortune was necessarily slender, the patrimonial estate
being comparatively small, and his- father's family
numerous. But this was no bar to his Lordship's li-
berality. At the conclusion of the war, his brother,
now elevated to the Marquisate, was, among several
other distinguished Officers, raised to the Peerage,
by the title of Lord STEWART, a pension of 2,0001.
per annum being allowed to those creations, and their
successors, for the two nest generations. Lord CAB..
TLERZACH would not permit his brother to accept
any part of the pension, but, in lieu of it, settled
2,0001. a year upon him out of his private income.
