CItICKET MATCH. .

Monday last the admirers of the minty game of Cricket had a
rich treat in witnessing a single Cricket )latch, played in Hampton's
Cricket-growid, Walworth, between four Gentlemen of the Wal-
worth , Club, and four Gentlemen from the City. At the com-
mencement of the match the odds were six to four on the Club,
which increased after the first innings to three to one, the Club
having obtained 21 runs, and their opponents only 12; isowever,
nothing daunted, they commeneed_the second innings, and by very
superior bowling the four wickets (ell with only three runs. The
odds then fell to two to one, and the Club were booked as certain to
win; bat in this numbers were mistaken, for the City Gentlemen
obtained 13 runs, thus winning by one run, and haying a wicket to
go down.—Considerable sums were depending on the issue.

GRAND TROTTING MATCH.
This match, in which X6O to £4O were laid that a galloway,
measuring 14 hands and an loch in height, did not trot 28 mike in
two Lours successively, in harness, came of yesterday• en the rued
over Sunbury Common. This feat. eras only perforated ones be-
fore, by a horse the property de Mr. Giles, over the same ground,
and in consequalce the odds were considerably in favour of time,
six and seven to four, and even two to one, having been betted
against the galloway. Soon after four the galloway, harnessed in
the machine built for the occasion, was driven to the ground by
Mr. Frederick Smith,swhose weight is 12 non!, and who undertook
to drive for the proprietor. The machine was beautifully con-
structed. The shafts wets extremely light, and the seat, fixed On
iron rods, resting on a frame, was supported by the asle-tree. The
wheels were also light and elegant, and were about five feet two
inches in diameter ; the whole veld* weighing not more than
109 lbs. The galloway, though well act and compac.r, had anything
but the appearance of speed; and at starting, at 16 minutes past
four, the odds gradually rose to 3to 1 against, it. The judgment,
however, many experienced men was, in the result, set aside.
i• Previous to.statting, three stop-Watches sfereoet togethtr; and tit*
moment the word " Go!" was even, they were placed in the hands
of TOM Spring, who locked them- in a box'til prevent suspicion of
trick ; while three horsemen, one on each side, accompanied the
horse throughout his arduous task. The first start embraced sit
idles out, and five &ilea in; mahing.eleten miles, which was per-
formed exactly in 45 minutes; the horse fresh, and at a winning
pace. The second start, Ave Giles our and four - miles in, was ac-
complished in 38 minutes • the horse a little distressed—but still
well ;20 miles had now been accomplished, and 37 minutes re-
mained to work the last eight miles. Little 'change, however, took
place in the odds, time being still the favourite, till emodry arrivals
from the scene of action began to produce a cbangi in opinion, end
diem whd had backed time altered their note and backed the home
—a course which proved to be perfectly justifiable, for in the end
the match was won with comparative ease by the horse in two
minutes and 20 %vends under the stipulated time ; after which, to
the astonishment of all, the animal was trotted back to the Rod
Lion, at Hampton, a distance of nearly duce miles, with little ap-
pearance of fatigue.

The body of a little boy, about eight years of age,
was taken out of the Thames, off Lambeth Palace, on
Monday, by a fisherman. It proved to be the son of
Mr. Clarke, of Ashuntree•court, Bouverie-street, neet-
street, who was drowned last week whilst playing on
board a barge, lying offHammersmith•bridge. "The
body was conveyed to Lambeth workhouse.
Wednesday an accident happened at North Berwick,
a little to the east cf the town, of the most distressing
nature; About half-past one o'clock, the Rev. JAmek
Mora, tutor in the family of General DALIMIPLIE, went
into the sea to bathe, which he was in the habit ti doing,
with one of his pupils, Master JANIS HVCILING, a ward
of the General. The sea was running high, and was
breaking heavily on the shore. Mr. Mora being, how-
ever, an expert swimmer, went out beyond the serf,
arid was Sporting among the rolling waves, when sud-
denly, as if by a great effort, he seemed to start upwards
out of the water, throwing up both his arms, and call-
ing out, in a sort of faint scream, the name of his pupil,
who bad not ventured so far, and who was at the time
on the shore. He then disappeared, and his companion
goingon a rock to look for him, saw him in a sinking
state. A boat was instantly dispatched to the fatal
spot ; but by this time he had sunk, and though the men
continued their March till late at night, at the peril of
their lives, it proved unsuccessful.—Edin. Even. Coen'
The accounts from the hop plantations yesterday were
rather more favourable than for the last three days.—
The duty since last week, owinvto the prevalence of
the cold winds, fell so low its 150,00 W. The damage
done by the poles being blown down is considerable, and
the cold nights have prevented the bun from coming
on kindly. The change in the weather has caused an
advance in the duty to i50;0001. at which it was esti-
mated yesterday. The prices of hops are about 10s.
higher than last week.
