THE RAJAH OF COORG and a numerous suite visited
Vauxhall Gardens, London, on Thursday, to witness the
balloon ascent with the military band, accompanied by
Mr. Green. The ladies of the prince were 'seated in a
private carriage in the open space, from the blinds of
which the " hidden fair ones" caught a glimpse of the as-
cent. The royal party seemed to enjoy the brilliant no-
velty, and expressed very warmly the gratification they
had experienced, and their resolve to renew their visit to
he royal property.

A RUFFIANLY PRISONER.—Two men, named John
Shearman and Joseph Moss, were examined and com-
mitted at Chudleigh, Devon, on Saturday last, on the
charge of robbing a church. While a man named Cox
was giving his evidence, the prisoner Moss seized a large
stone, which was on the mantle-piece, and hurled it at the
witness, striking him on the forehead with it. The blood
flowed profusely, and a surgeon was sent for, but happily
no serious injury was occasioned by the blow.—Western

clusion of this entertaining annual match took place on
Tuesday, when, as usual, there was a vast assemblage of
spectators. The light of day having faded, the game was
drawn, the 4' One—legs" having one wicket to go down for
