This want enc seais provmeu a eentlomen in whoBe hands the arrangements Tneother rrmntimi is a similar absence of all the requisite conveniences required tZ renrescntatives of the public press, whose duties are sufficiently irLnmp without tho additional inconveniences arising from the want of the uua7 courtesies so very generally extended to them. The elub is Samelv indebted to the journals of this city for the publicity given this match all the benefit accrues to them, and from tho appearance of the "rounds yesterday, we should say the speculation will pay handsomely. With these prominent exceptions everything appeared to have been well attended to, and as the whole week will probably bo occupied in playing on the ground, we trust to see an improvement in the matter alluded t0At 1 V35, the English playera having won the to3s, and decided that the Twenty-two should go in, took their respective positions on the field, Messrs. Lang and Waller taking their stand at the wickets against the bowling of Parr slow underhand and Jaekson very swift round-arm. Lang opened the play by a out for a single off Parr's third ball, and followed it up with a hit to leg off Jackson's first; two more singles followed, one giving a chance to Jaokson, which waB not taken, when Lang lost his partuer, Waller, from being run out by Parr, the ball being finely fielded by Grundy first wicket, for 1.

Sharp was next, but he had not been in ten minutes, scoring a single, when, in playing forward to a short-pitched ball from Jackson, he was stumped in Lockyer's best style. This was a truly fine piece of wicket keeping, and elicited loud applause. It was Boon seen that the Twenty-two had a hard road to travel" to obtain runs, and they began to evince a degree of timidity we little dreamed of seeing from such old players as the majority are. Hammond played well for his six, a fine leg hit for 3 being conspicuous. He took Lang's place, who let Parr get in on his stumps, his score being only an average one, and all singles, well obtained, however, by good, close running.

He also was missed by CfBsar at long field. Gibbs went out the first over. Jackson gave him tho ball, touching his pad, the fourth wicket falling weight for 8. Scarlet showed some good play for half an hour, scoring 6, a cut for 2 being prominent. He placed his leg in the way of a straight ball from Parr, Marsh doing the same for Jaokson.

Wilby and Senior followed them, but they only added 3. each to the score before they had to retire. Senior was driven back on his wicket ny one of Parr's best, and Wilby gave the same masterly bowler a chance at nis off stump. Harry Wright gave Loekyer an opportunity of showing the crowd what a fine catch at wicket was, and Higham went out for a singular score, Jackson getting in on his stumps. Head, Morgan, Crossley, Comery, Barclay, and Halhs did not trouble the scorers with any runs, Newhall being the only one to make any i 3how at all after Senior.

Bage got a fluke for 3 to the on field off Parr, and Walker a couple of singles. Sammy Wright just lifted his foot 00 his ground or a moment, but that was all that such a wicket keeper as Loekyer required, and Sammy retired for a single. The last wicket fell for the tremendous score of 38, made by what was generally understood to be the "strongest twenty-two in countrj. It was a mediocre display of batting, even when we take into consideration the admirable display of bowling, fielding, and genera ship opposed to them. Bat one bye was scored, and that was the result of the ball bounding over the long stop's head.

Diver fielded beaut.Mly this position. Hayward's fielding at leg was perfection, as was Caffyn 8 at the positions he occupied. The latter covers a great space of ground. It is a light to see Loekyer keep wicket; indeed, it is a treat to see each and all of the Eleven play, so near perfection is their display of cricketing. A highly respectable and most orderly assemblage were collected on the srouud, their conduct being such as to draw forth the most favourable com-ments from our transatlantic brethren, when contrasting it with that which usually characterizes the subjects of her Majesty Queen Victoria.

A truly respectable American assemblage needs very little aid from the police to keep order on such occasions. The scene, about an hour previous to tho drawing of Btumns, was one very attractive and picturesque, and the strains of Dods worth's fine band added much to the general effect. After an hour's intermission for dinner, the Eleven sent in their representatives to the wickets, Carpenter and Hayward going into the bowling of S. Wright and Crossley. For an hour and a half did these fine batsmen defy all attempts to break up their admirable defenco of their stumps, and' it was not long before they had almost doubled the score of their opponents.

At last, after running tho Bcore up to 60, Carpenter gave a chance to Senior at short leg, and retired amid the applauBO of tho assemblage for the splendid score of 26, four threes leg hits being a prominent portion of it. Wisden succeeded him, but he had only scored 3, and had given a fine chance to Lilly white at square-leg for a catch, when he was run out by Hayward from attempting to get a third run from a fine hit to leg, tho loose fielding tempting Hayward to run incautiously. The great batsman Parr succeeded him, and had already given evidence of his great ability, when the time arrived for the drawing of stumps, the telegraph showing a total score of 83, 32 of which Hayward is credited for, 14 being byes and wides. On Tuesday morning. Parr and Hayward resumed their batB, against the bowling of Messrs.

Quabtbr on A Nile Hahdioap, A pedestrian contest ofetbis kind was commenced on Monday at Hyde-park. The caterer on thia occasion was Mr Peat, of the Tankard and Punchbowl, Broad-street, Sheffield-park, who first essayed at handicapping. The event was a failure, both in respect to sport and speculation; and on Tuesday a disgraceful scene, which it is almost impossible to describe, occurred. All parties who have the slightest pretension to see fair play must have been thoroughly disgusted with the conduct of many persons who called themselves men. Appended we subjoin a report of each day's proceedings.

On Monday the results were asunder: Lot 1: C. Norton, Sheffield (75 yards' start), first J. Wright, Sheffield, (78), second. J. Blackburn, Doncaster (65), and W.

Shaw, Sheffield (82), also ran. Won cleverly by a foot Lot 2 C. Dyson, Sheffield (78 yards' start), first; H. Stones, Staveley (58), Becond. J.

Kevitt, Barnsley (68), and B. Patrick, Doncaster (67), also ran. Won by three yards, a similar distance dividing Dooley and Kevitt. Lot 6 J. Lyons, Salford (58 yards' start), first; P.

Stapleton, Staleybridge (62), second D. Moody, Sheffield (76), third and B. Wood, WorBbro'-common (63), fourth. Won by two yards, half-a-dozen yards between second and third. Lot 7: W.

The successful competitors in the above event on Monday were gathered togather on Tuesday to contest the deciding heats, but owing to tho disgraceful conduct of some of the layers of oddE, the race did not terminate.

It appeared that some of the bookmakers had taken liberties with the favourite. Innwood, they alleging that that pedestrian had himself expressed that he was not going to try." Finding, however, that such was not the case, in order to save their money, they employed a number of roughs," who very unceremoniously broke through the barriers into the running ground, used Innwood shamefully, and prevented him winning. The consequence was the postponement of the deciding heat. In the first heat there was no opposition, the heat being easily won by G. Kent, Wooden Box (17 yards' start), who defeated W.

Berry, Sheffield (68), and J. Lyons, Salford (68). The favourite, E. Innwood (65 yards' start), and T. Brooke, Underbank (63), appeared on tho ground to contest the second lot, the absentee being J.

Bower, Sheffield (68). Prior to the race, and whilst the men were arranging their toilet in the stripping room, an angry altercation ensued between a sporting character and Inwood, the former of whom struck the pedestrian. Whilst the heat waa being run, the rails which enclose the pedestrian course were broken down, a number of hired men pushed against Innwood, whose chance of success was consequently impeded. A scene which baffles description immediately ensued, and notwithstanding the exertions of the representatives of Mrs Heathcote, the proprietress of the ground, Innwood was roughly injured, and several other parties slightly damaged by being hit with stones, which were resorted to, and directed with force from both sides. After the above disgraceful conduct had Martially subsided, the WHITE.

The members of this elub assembled very strongly on Monday sight last at the Caledonian Hotel, Adelphi-terracc, on the occasion of their monthly meeting. The worthy Vice-Commodore, TLomas Broadwood, preBided, the much-respected Commodore, Andrew Arcedeckne, having left this country on a visit to the United States.

The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, several gentlemen were balloted for and duly elected, otherB beiDg proposed as members. Tho Vice-Commodore proposed that Captain M'Clintook, B.N., Captain Hobson, B.N., and Captain Allen Young, the naval gentlemen engaged in the successful search after Sir John Franklin, be elected honorary members, in consideration of their intrepid conduct. The gentlemen were immediately elected by acclamation. Bowing at the Crystal Palace. Our aquatic readers may remember that Mr Strange, the head of the provision department at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, gave a grandee three weeks since, in tho course of which two rowing matches, in six heats, took place on the great lake (lately considerably enlarged), under the able direction ol Mr Wentzell (of Lambeth), the proprietor of the boats on the lake.

So suceesaful was tho fete, owing materially, there is no doubt, to the novelty of a rowing match there, that Mr Strange was tempted to repeat it last Tuesday, and we believe this enterprising gentleman was as successful as before, for crowds were all day flocking into the Palace and grounds, although the weather was by no means inviting. As before, the races were in pair-oared and sculling boats, for silver prizes, and Mr Wentzell was again the aquatic manager, The rowing, which was extremely good, was followed by other aquatic entertainments.

Matches last Monday. Despite the lateness of the season rowing seems to continue certainly much diminished in quantity, but the quality is good. It was only on Thursday week that there were two fine races detailed in the columns of The Eba last Sunday, and on Monday last there were two more equally good.

The clubs contending on this occasion were the Prince of Wales Aquatio Club, and the Arundel Alliance Bowing Club. Both were fonr-oared races, and all the boats had prizes, varying in value. Tho distance had been fixed to be from.Battersea Old-bridge to Lambeth-pier, but those having the control of that sort of thing in the clubs appear to have forgotten that it is now dark at six o'clock, and that the tide did not turn till about that time at Battersea. Finding it, however, impracticable to row the course fixed, both olubB, when they met at Lambeth to procure their boats from Mr Wyld (who supplied all except a losing one from Cootes's), agreed to reverse the distance, starting from Lambeth-pier and rowing up Battersea Old-bridge. Thia was accordingly done, the Prince of Wales Aquatic Club starting on a fine tide at about four o'clock, just before the other club PRINCE OF WALES AQUATIC CLUB.

The crews in this race were only two, but they supplied by good rowing the deficiency in the number of boats. The following were the crews Bed Messrs. F. Payne, C. Eyles, H.

Dobson, F. Fricker, stroke J. Burton, steerer. Blue Messrs. W.

Dineen, J. Dineen, C. Scott, J. M'Quire, stroke J. Hayes, steerer.

They started level, at a fine pace, and kej)t stem and stem till they reached the lower end of the Penitentiary. Hayes's crew then began to lead, and drew away so rapidly that at Millbank-pier they led by half a clear length, and at Vauxhall-bridge by a length. Here Burton's crew overhauled them as rapidly as Hayes's party had previously gone ahead, and a very fine race followed past Pimlico-pier, when Hayes's crew a second time led, and eventually won by three or four lengths. ARUNDEL ALLIANCE ROWINS CLUB. There were three crews entered and started for this race as under Bed Messrs, J.

They weroclosely pressed all the way by both the other crews, who rowed an exceedingly fine raco. They went away together, and kept so to Vauxhall-bridge, when Knightley's crew began to lead, and were nearly a length ahead 'at Piralico pier.

Here May's crew picked them up considerably, and eollarintr them at the New-bridge Knightley's crew shut up. Gamjs played between MesBrs. Evelyn and Boden. White (Mr B.l Black (Mr White (Mr Black (Mr E.l to 4th Kt to 3d Kt to 6th takes Kt, PtoQB3d to 4th (a) takes 1. to 4th 2.

(b) This move, a favourite one with Labourdonnais at this stage of the Giuoco Piano, is inferior, in our opinion, to 7 Kt to 3d. The advance of the Queen's Pawn is premature, and, if properly met by Black, should lead to a perfectly even game. (e) The correct play is 7 Kt to 2d. (d) This allows White, by playing his Queen to King's Bishop'6 3d, to double the Black Pawns upon the King's Bishop's file, and to gain an opening upon the adverse King but, however, Black had played, White would still have had a slightly superior game. (e) 18 to 2d, with the view of playing the Queen's Book to King's Knight's Square, would have been far preferable.

Althnnrh hut little known -at liirmioaham. a fair proportion of spectators Another Soldier Flogged. Oil Monday morning, in accordance with garrison orders the troops at Chatham belonging to the depots attached to three battalions of infantry were marched soon after daylight to the Spur Battery, for the purpose of witnessing the infliction of punishment of the lash on a private belonging to the 88th Connaught Rangers, named Norton, who has recently returned home wounded from India, and was stationed at St. Mary's Invalid Depot awaiting his discharge.

The crime for which the prisoner was tried a few days since by "court-martial, and of which he was found guilty, was that of having struck a non-commissioned officer whilst in the execution of his duty. The prisoner served in tho Crimea during the whole of the Russian campaign, and is decorated with the Crimea medal with three clasps. He subsequently served in India against the rebels until he was invalided home a few weeks ago, having received two wounds. During a disturbance in one of the streets of Broinptou Sergeant Gavin, 31st Regiment, one of the garrison military police, was in the act of ordering a soldier to the guardroom, when the prisoner, who had been drinking, walked up to the non-commissioned officer and struck him a sudden blow iu the face with his fist.
