ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Although the weather last
week was most unfavourable, thousands congregated to
this beautiful retreat, on each of the evenings that the
numerous attractions were presented. The proprietor
has been happy in selecting a very tdlented company from
the metropolis, who have appeared in several vaudevilles
and other light pieces on the stage of the concert-hall.
The performances of the whole company were warmly
applauded. Miss Harcourt is a -first-rate artiste, and
goes through the whole of the parts assigned to her spi-
ritedly and naturally. Mr. Mulford and Mr. Wheatleigh
personate their characters admirably, and are most judi-
cious and finished actors. The singing of Miss Harcourt
was warmly applauded. Mr. Ryan is an excellent come-
dian. This week it will be seen that several new pieces
will be brought out. Tuesday is now a permanent gala
night. The gardens are in splendid order.
CRICKET MATCH.—On Saturday afternoon, a match
was played between the Stanley and Birkenhead Victoria
Cricket Clubs, on the ground of the former, near the
Cattle market, Old Swan. The stumps were drawn at a
quarter-past eight, and the match decided on the first
innings in favour of the Victoria, by a majority of 15 runs.
In the second innings of the'Victoria there was some good
batting, especially by Messrs. Evans, (who also made an
excellent " longstop" during the Liver innings.) Wood,
aad'Harding. Mr. Bromfield (Victoria) at " point" made
some clever •` catches," getting four men out ; and alto-
gether acquitted himself admirably at his trying post.
Messrs. Moore and Smith (Liver) also batted well, but
were not sustained by the rest of the players on theirside.
The following is the score so far as it was played :

"LAUNCH OF THE SCREW STEAMER CITY OF id AN-
CHESTER.—This fine steamer, built by the enterprising
firm of Tod and M'Greger, was launched on Saturday,
from their building yard.-at the mouth of the Kelvin.
Being- the largest vessel ever built on the Clyde ahe at-
tracted a great number of-spectators, who lined each side
of the river, anxious to witness the interesting ceremony.
About two o'clock, the tide being then at its height,:pre-
patations were made for seeding her off the stocks. The
ricer being dear, and all the arrangements complete, the
Ri174151) tuna nitre,

sheglided majestically into the° water, amid the firing of
cannon, and the enthusiastic cheers of the assembled mul-
titude. When she was moving off, Miss Henderson,
second daughter of George Henderson, Esq., stepped•for-
ward, and gracefully dashing the bottle over her bows,
named her the " City of Manchester." We have seldom
seen a vessel sit so beautifully on the water—hes extraor-
dinary size and beauty of mould giving her an extremely
graceful and imposing appearance. She is the property. of
the Liverpool and Philadelphia Steam-ship Company, and
is intended as a consort to the City of Glasgow, in the
Liverpool and Philadelphia trade, and in conjunction with
the now American screw steam-ships, City of Pittsburg,
and City of Philadelphia, between Liverpool and Phila-
delphia. She has been built wish a view to speed, extra
accommodation and comfort to • passengers, her internal
fittings :having been finished in a style equal to anv-of
those princely vessels that now .cross the Atlantic. She
is fitted up to carry 160 passengers in the first and second
cabins far whose comfort and acceinmodation no ex
has been spared. The folio

_wing is a note of her dimen-
sions __„th of deck, 274 feet; breadth of beam, 37
feet 9 inches ; length from spanker-bOom to jib-boom end,
339 feet; burthen, 2,125 tons. She is to be propelled by
a three-bladed screw, which will be•driven by two beam-
engines of 4400 horse power. Silelas four masts, which
will enable her to show a large surface of canvass, and
make her easier managed in stormy weather. She is,
altogether, one of the finest vessels we have seen, and will,
no doubt, add greatly to the already ,world-wide fame of
our Clyde ship-builders. When she:visits the shores of
the New World Jonathan may "calculate" that she
excels in mode', build, and finish any that has ever been
sent from the stocks of the "consarned fine builders" of the
" smartest nation in the world." She will undoubtedly
fully maintain ,that high character which her eminent

builders have akeady gained, and yield a iandsome return

to her enterprising- proprietors

She is ,e

•
, ready for sea in three-weeks, her en-
gines, boilers, it e.,:being all ready for fitting in. We ob-
serve she is advertised to leave Liverpool on or about the
