BRIGHTON, MAY 25.

Thursday evening a great number of the inhabitants
were attracted to the Cliffs, at Brighton, by the amear-
ance of the sea, the surface of which seemed as if On.
minated, arising most probably from the spawn of
fish, or larva. of some of the endless variety of marine
insects.

The apple trees in the nieighbourhood of Chieheee,
are well blJwn. but little wall fruit generally. T:ie
wheats have been greatly improved by the late wa,nt
weather ; as has been the grasst by the genial yam
thoweTs of the present week. _ .

Careirr.—The first match of importance of the present seam
was played at Midburst, between the Brighton Club and the
Eastern part of Sussex, against the MiJhurst Club arid tbeWesteen
part of the said County, on Monday and Tuesday last. Midharst
took the first innings, and closed it with 92 Puns. Against that
number their opponents contended, and produced a tye. The
result of the following innings was not so favourable to the later,
and Midburst obtained the victory with eighty-three runs a
head. The final state of the match was— Midhurst, first inning',
92 runs, second ditto, 129—total 221 ' • Brighton, Irst inning.,
92 runs, second ditto, 46—total 1311. It was a fine treat to the
amateur spectators of the manly game. The odds often changed
aides, from five and six to four, and were in favour of Brighton anti
*arly fifty runs in the second innings were scored by their adver-
saries, and not a wicket lost. The play of the BROADBILIIIGES, Burr,
HOOKUP, and .htIiINSON, Esqs. was very fine, on the part of Mid.

warm excelled; the former, at the close of the sttnggle. bad carrier
away no less than nine wickets by his own shot-like balls—beyond
all question he is the hardest and the straightest bowler in the king-
dom, and he has but few superiors with the bat. The play, in fact,
on both sides, was peculiarly brilliant; it was no uncommon thing
for 50 or 60 balls to be bowled without a run.
