CRIcKET-A very excellent and interesting match
IT cricket, which attracted during the day host of
fashionable vsiters to witness the play, took place
on Thursday last, upon the lawn in front OF the ca

WEST INDIA STEAMERs.-A report prevails that
there Is an intention on the part OF the West India
Steam-packet Company to apply to Government for
leave to run one packet only in each month, and
retain the terms originally settled of f24O,OOO per
annnm; or, if they continue to run two pack
cts monthly, to increase the remuneration to E4OO,
900 per annum. So grand an experiment in steam
navigation is certanly entitled to every indulgence,
looking at the prospective benefits anticipated, but
the signal failure of all the early arrangements has
spread universal discomfort among the merchants,
traders, and others, connected either with the West
Indies or the adjoining continents, and II the old
cost of the sailingpackets on that line did not ex-
