QUARANTINE STATION, Oct. lo.-The United States
mail steamship Bienvie, Capt Bnlloch, from
New York via Havana, has arrived at this point.
Of political news there is nothing whatever of
interest. The health of both the city and harbor
of Havana continued excellent.
sugar.-The market is quiet, and holders claim
42 for No. u. The exports of the past week
added up 10000 boxes and $40 hhds. The stock
on hand between Havana and Mantanzas amounted
to $4,000 boxes against lOs,o00 at the cores
ponding period of last year.

The match was for the ball, as usual in these
friendly contests, and it was handed over by Mr..
Wright captain of the Pelicans, to Mr.. Blackburne,
captain of the Crescents, with courteous ceremo-
nial. Pleasant things were said and pleasant
things were done, for there was popping of the
corks of bottles holding the "pale best wine of
the Gallo grape,n and a learned contemporary of
the Camp street press delectated and instructed
the assemblage with profound but genial disquisi-
ton touching the history the mystery, and the
subtle art of the polite game of cricket played
by ye ancientes and perpetuated by ye mod
erns, with anecdotical "reminiscences of shrewd
and notable events in its practice, as within the
sphere of his past personal experience. The Pe
cans, in liberal retaliation for past treatment ofthe
kind at the hands of their adversares assumed the
responsibility of the commissary department on
this occasion.
| We should mention that the field was rendered
more interesting and attractive to the eye Of the
spectator by the fact that many of the members OF
the club attired in the very neat and tasteful
cricket dress got up for them by Norris, Maull &
Co., of the City Hotel clothing store. The dress
| of the Crescents was white cloth trimmed with
| blue and that of the Pecans white with red trim
mings, both having belts and buckles to match
their attire. 1t would be pleasant sight to see q
whole field at the game in these uniform trap
pings. The same dealers, we would remark G.,
i pdssant, have got up admirable dresses for the
members of base ball clubs. Altogether, the even

of the crcketers with eotat They will play nc

/ STOLEN SILvERwARE FouND.-A large quantity
of silverware, amounting to about s400 worth, wa
found on Tuesday afternoon, tied in a napkin, ant
covered with grass and weeds in vacant lot
the corner of Miro and Carondelet Canal. TIL,
discovery was made by q slave boy belonging tt
Mr.. Levassenr, who Immediately advised Lieut.
Crevon of it. The Lieutenant and Officer Boul
losa recovered the silYerware, and proceeded Il
inquire into who might be the owner. From th
initials upon the spoons it was supposed that the
must belong to Mr.. Ii. Harris, whose house, o.
Bourbon street, was robbed some time ago of
large amount Of silyerware. Officer Boullosa as
certained the fact and had the pleasure of return
ing to Mr.. Harris the valuable bundle which cor
tanned the stolen articles. There were sixty-fou
pieces stolen all table ware, and every one of th
sixty -four pieces was found in the bundle. 1t
rarely that such valuable property is so entrel
recovered after being stolen. The honest negr
who found the bundle and told about it, is, we ar
glad to hear, to be properly rewarded.

LIVELY ENCOUNTER BETWEEN TWO BosToS MER-
cHANTs.-The Boston Atlas reports a rencontre
which occurred on State street on Tuesday. The
parties were Stephen Cabot merchant, and Gar
chased a quantity of goods from Turell, which the
latter, on change, refused to deliver few plain
words followed, when Cabot proceeded to give his
opinion of Tarell as commission merchant, which
was more emphatic than complimentary. Iurells
blood at once went up to blood heat, and then to
something warmer, at which point he proceeded
to assault Cabot who returned the compliment
with interest. He soon had Tnrell's head under
his arm, when the merchants on change interfered
and separated them. It is Mr.. Cabots opinion that
but for this interference his opponent would have
presented an appearance similar to one who has
lust emerged from tmill.h
