as it gave us no reason to fear that the excellent game would yet lose that high rank which it has held for ages in the estimation of Englishmen On Tuesday last an interesting match of cricket was played between eleven married and eleven unmarried at Bildeston By permission of Air AVhite the wickets were pitched in the park belonging to the late AVilson Esq The party afterwards adjourned to the

CATASTROPHE THREE CHILDREN DROWNED A most distressing event occurred on Wednesday evening last in the parish of St Decuman near Watchet Somersetshire Mr Cape was busy harvesting his corn and the evening being unusually clear serene and beautiful Airs Cape said she would go to the beach and bathe the children and accordingly took six of the children and the servant with her leaving the eldest boy to assist his father: this was about six in the evening About half-past nine Air Cape having come into his house from the yard and not finding his wife and family returned became alarmed for their safety and sent to a neighbouring farmhouse to see if they were there but not hearing anything of them he proceeded with two or three others to the beach in search of them continually calling out to his wife by name but receiving no answer The tide had now receded some way At length he heard a sound near the cliff and on coming nearer he found his wife and servant with three children Airs Cape on recognising her husband exclaimed Joseph I hope you will forgive me I have lost three of your children The moon had now-risen to some height and the calmness and serenity of the evening were remarkable The distressingly weakened state of Arrs Cape her children and the servant and the agonised feelings of the father are only to be conceived from the appalling nature of this distressing calamity It appears that Mrs Cape on reaching the beach and selecting the intended place for bathing acted from the idea that the tide was ebbing After having bathed and dressed her children still thinking the tide was ebbing she went up to one part of the cliff and sat down unconscious of her danger to look at the interesting scenery that surrounded her After staying with her children some time she observed that the water was washing the two points that formed the extremity of the bay she had selected for bathing and immediately becoming alarmed went to the point nearest to her but found she could not get round it and instantly returned to that part farthest from the water thinking that the tide would presently recede The water however still continued rising ami the waves rose successively until at last the stone on which they stood was under water when one of her children a little boy about five years of age requested his mother to put him into a hole in the cliff just above them as he said he was sure that all of them would be drowned His mother with some difficulty complied with his request and in a few minutes a tremendous swell of the tide washed them all from the stone Mrs Cape the servant and two of the children regained the place they were washed from but three of the younger ones sunk to rise no more The servant had a child in her arms about 18 months old and in an endeavour to save another it was washed away from her and lost She however succeeded in saving one by holding its clothes in her teeth The eldest that was lost was a girl about eight years of age and the next a boy about six and the infant 18 months old Had there been any sea in the channel all must have inevitably perished but it was extremely calm to which circumstance the survivors owe their safety The eldest girl who is lost said to her mother mother let us pray for we shall all be she then repeated the Lord's prayer and just ns she concluded the fatal swell came which washed them from their footing Neither of the bodies save the girl has yet been found and all hope of their recovery is now given up The boy who was put into the hole of the cliff when taken out was fast asleep Tiie servant when found was quite black in the face Tydeman Musgrave Hobart ct Man Squirrel run out Scaff Gosling 0 Peacock Musgrave 6 Peacock not out 0 Baldwin Musgrave 10 Bull Do 3

and Sams with the murder of a pensioner ofthc45th regiment named William Bennett ata place calledTewen a short distance from the town of Hertford lias been taken into custody Air Duncan the inspector of police at Hertford received information which ultimately led to the apprehension at Exeter and lie was brought to Hertford and after a preliminary investigation lie was sent to Hertford gaol As it is nearly twelve months since the murder was committed it may be as well to state briefly the circumstances under which it was committed On the afternoon of the 25th of October Mr Bennett had come to Hertford to receive his pension and he left the town about five It was subsequently remarked that he was followed by four men and the next morning he was found dead by the road side and his watch and all his money had been taken from him Roach Fletcher and Sams were subsequently apprehended and suspicion fell upon Taylor who absconded immediately after the murder was committed Sergeant Knight of the Hertford police traced him to a beer shop in Hoddesden where it appeared he had called for some beer but some persons ho were in the house happened to mention the subject of the murder when he left the house abruptly without drinking any of the beer he had called for He subsequently traced him to Huntingdon where he lost all clue to him and it appears that immediately after this lie enlisted as lias been stated and probably hut for the fact of his having written to his relations at Hertford lie would have eluded the pursuit of justice Soon after Roach and Fletcher had been taken into custody and placed in separate cells they each made a confession admitting that they had in company with Taylor and Sams planned to rob the deceased hut denying that they intended to kill him and stated also that after they had got the old money and had gone away from him Taylor came after them and said The old said he knew me hut I have given him a kick under the ear that will keep him Nothing more was heard of Taylor after this and Roach Fletcher and Sams were tried at the Alarch assizes and the two former were convicted and subsequently executed Sams was acquitted When Taylor was apprehended as above-stated he was taken to the station-house at Hertford where Sergeant Knight told him that lie was close behind him when he left Hertford and asked him whether lie had not been to the places he mentioned Taylor replied that he had and after he had called for the beer in the beer shop the people then began talking about the and lie could not stand it and cut without drinking his He appeared quite unconcerned and whistled and sang during the whole time lie was in the station-house and his awful situation did not appear to affect him in the least The fact of the apprehension having been immediately made known to Air Al Carter the gentleman who committed the other parties and who exerted himself in every manner possible to bring the foul deed to light on Saturday morning the prisoner was taken to Air office where a person named Banks also attended His evidence was most material The statement made by him was to the following effect He stated that he was acquainted with Taylor the man charged with being concerned in the murder and on the Thursday after it occurred he was at a beer-shop drinking with him and hi attention was attracted by seeing that Taylor appeared to have a great deal of silver when he knew that a day or two before he was without money He had heard of the murder and he remarked to Taylor that he ltoped lie was not in the job at Hertford Taylor at first denied that lie knew anything about it but at length he said that he would tell him the truth He tiien went on to say that lie and three others had agreed to rob the old man and they all met at a beer-shop in Hertford and watched him out of the town and followed him till they got near Tewen where they went into a wood and exchanged clothes in order that they might not be known that as they were going along he was frightened and wished to go hack hut Roach said Oh come on the old has got some money and we will have They then followed him through Tewen where they attacked the old man and got him down and he and another held him while the other two rifled liis pockets He said also that while they were doing this the old man looked at him and said Mind 1 know He added that he went away and Roach afterwards gave him a sovereign for his share of the plunder He immediately left the others and went to Hertford where he changed the sovereign at another beer-shop and got half-a-pint of beer Banks added that Taylor cautioned him not to tell any one of what he had told him This statement is confirmed in a very material point by the keeper of the heer-shop referred to who states that on the night in question and within a very short time of the period when the murder was committed the prisoner Taylor did actually come to his house for a half pint of beer and paid for it with a sovereign and received the change As the grand jury had returned a true bill for murder against Taylor it was unnecessary that any further examination should be gone into Lord Denman having upon the finding of the jury issued a warrant for his commitment The prisoner was accordingly fully committed to Hertford gaol and Mr Dennan received directions to subpoena the necessary witnesses to give evidence upon the trial which will not take place till Alarch is are a on and 131 SINGLE MEN Istinns 2nd inns Edwards is Do 3 17 0 6 5 10 3 3 Do Do Tyderaan run out run out EdwardR Tydeman Baker

On Thursday last the household goods and effects of an old man who died in Kendal a few weeks ago were put into the hands of the auctioneer Amongst other tilings offered for sale was an old knapsack which had belonged to the deceased when he was in the AVest-moreland Militia The knight of the hammer hearing something rattle in the knapsack put in his hand and brought out two pieces of white paper neatly folded up and a piece of blue paper which on being opened contained two sovereigns this led to the examination of the two pieces of white paper and they proved to he bank checks for the sum of

infant when he was overpowered by the foul air it contained a short time after the hells not having chimed for morning service as usual search was made when he was discovered at the bottom of the grave dead An alarm was instantly given and several persons hastened to the spot amongst whom was the deceased Edward Luddit who instantly volunteered liis services to descend hut no sooner had he reached the bottom and was about to raise the body than he also was overpowered and fell a victim to his noble and humane attempt to save a fellow -creature Each of the deceased has left a wife together with three children two of them under five years of age totally destitute The Tories of Manchester are so bitterly hostile to a representative municipal corporation from knowing that in that body they will have a very small minority that they have actually sent up a case to Sir William Foilett and Sir Frederick Bollock to try to set aside the charter granted by her Privy Council?

Negroes AVe sat at our evening meal in the bed of the small river and a strange discussion took place between old Chubid Henrick Buys about the difference of colour in the human race the difference of language the creation of man Ac Of this last some of the Namaquas entertain this that the Deity having created a white man the devil became envious seeing what a wonderful and handsome creature had been formed and he also tried liis hand at making a man but he could notmakehimotherwise than black like himself so in a rage lie struck his man a blow on the face which flattened his nose and hence the negro colour and feature Africa Repaying Oxford Street with Wood On Saturday at the Alarylebone the subject of paving Oxford-street was again brought under consideration in consequence of a memorial presented by a large number of the inhabitants praying that the would allow part of the 'Street to be paved with wood by way of experiment Mr Joseph moved the offer of the memorialists to pave a part of Oxford-street with wood be accepted on the condition that the inhabitants give the a suffi-rien guarantee that they will not avail themselves of the delay to get an Act of Parliament for taking the street out of the hands of the Mr Glazier seconded the motion which was put and carried by a large majority The consequence will be that a part of Oxford-street will be forthwith paved with wood by way of experiment It thought that six months will he sufficient to test the efficacy of this mode of paving Unmarried A Royal decree has lately been issued at Naples authorising fathers

Tuesday last between eleven of the Prittle-well Union and eleven of the Chelmsford Union Clubs The game was played with the best possible good feeling although the Prittlewell gentlemen in their first innings scored only 15 and in their second innings obtained only one run and one an instance we should say never before recorded which was solely attributed to the superior bowling of Alessrs II Gladwin and Kirkham which showed itself to great advantage The Chelmsford players went in first Edwards and Alurrell commenced the batting Edwards acting very cautiously aDd after scoring nine runs was bowled out by Hart and Alurrell had not marked single ran when he was obliged to retire Ellis seemed determined to strike at almost every ball and was going on well having scored 25 runs when he was bowled out by Salmon The following is the score CHELMSFORD The Seventh Annual General Meeting of this excellent Institution was hehl at ickham Market on I hurs-day last and the day being particularly fine the attendance was even larger than that of former years not less than 700 persons having been admitted into the shew field on payment of one shilling each at the door observed on the ground the Earl of Stradbroke Lord Rendlesham the Hon Capt Rous Sir Yere Sir Gooch Sir Middleton Sir Robert Harlnnd Thomas Gibson Esq AY Long Esq the Hon and Rev Ilotham Colonel C'hatterton Major Pytches Corrance Esq Moseley Esq Major Moor Godfrey Esq Arcedeekne Esq AY AA'ilson Esq See and all the principal gentry and yeomanry of East Suffolk The shew of stock took place in a large meadow at the back of the AYhite Hart Inn and as regarded all descriptions of cattle greatly exceeded in quality and numbers any exhibition of former years indeed it was the remark that the rams and fat beasts would bear comparison with any that could be shown at the great Smithfield shew or at any other agricultural shew in the kingdom There were nearly 100 horses and mares and foals at foot of the true Suffolk breed upon the ground but the shew of cart fillies was small and thse principally of an ordinary description Mr Freeman of Henham shewed his celebrated cart horse 7 years old which was greatly admired for possessing all the qualities of the genuine Suffolk Stock and to which the judges awarded the first prize Mr Edwards of Sutton shewed his cart horse six years old which likewise attracted gene-rat attention Achesnut cart colt by 3 years old was regarded as an extraordinary animal for symmetry and bone A Gelding years old by Mr (Qtley) Boxer the property of Shawe Esq was much admired as was also a 2-year old filly the property of Mosely Esq and an active cart horse of the true Suffolk breed the property of Mr Crisp Plant A Suffolk mare and foal the property of Mr Moses Crisp an entire horse belonging to Mr Spink of Eye a mare shewn by Mr Catling and an entire 3-year old colt the property of Mr Keer of Ravdon to all of which prizes were awarded were pronounced by competent judges to be very clever animals and were greatly admired There was a fair shew of Suffolk bulls and the two which attracted the greatest share of attention were one belonging to Mr Thomas Crisp a red and white Durham short-horn 3-years-old which obtained the prize: the other belonged to Mr Edwards of Sutton a red and white short-horn 3-years old this certainly for size and svm metry appeared to the unpractised eye to be the finer animal of the two but the defect which it was understood lost him the prize was coarseness of horn Mr Easter of Benhall also shewed a fine animal which was admired There was also a very good show of Suffolk cows and Durham short-horns much superior to those exhibited last year as well as a large shew of neat stock Mr John Cook or Martlesham shewed a running calf of the shorthorn breed 12 months old supposed to weigh about 30 stone and Mr AY Girling of Peasenhall shewed a half-bred Hereford and Suffolk calf 6 months old and supposed to weigh 28 stone Both were remarkable for symmetry and aptitude to fatten There was also a very excellent exhibition of Rams Mr Thomas Crisp shewed a shearing Down tup remarkable for purity of blood and fineness of wool It was considered to be an extremely fine animal and was valued by the owner at 100 guineas Mr Moses Crisp also showed a shearling Down tup which was greatly-admired by competent judges Two shearling Down tups the property of Sir Harland Bart attracted much attention as did also two shearling Down rams the property of Mr Arcedeekne and some rams of the same description the property of Mr Edwards of Sutton Mr Arcedeekne and Air John Cordy each shewed a pen of five Southdown shearling ewes which were greatly admired particularly the Glevering Hall stock The shew of oxen was of the rarest description and numerous beyond all former precedent The finest animals which obtained the prize were two short-horn bullocks 5 years old the property of Alexander Esq of the Goldrood Ipswich They were purchased at Melton fair by the owner in October last and had been fed on oil cake and bean meal Each was estimated to weigh 100 stone The next animals which attracted the greatest share of attention were two Galloway-Scots belonging to Air Thomas AA'alker of Hacheston 5 years old and each supposed to weigh between 80 and 90 stone These were also purchased at Melton fair in October last and had been fattened upon mangel wurzel turnips and oil cake with a small quantity of corn Air AVm Girling of Peasenhall shewed a home-bred bullock 3 years and 6 months old supposed to weigh about 90 stone It was remarkable for small bone and symmetry as was also a white short horn bullock 4 years old supposed to weigh nearly 100 stone fed upon oil cake beans and oat-meal the property of John Newman Esq of Glemham There Oxen were during the day constantly surrounded by a great number of spectators and it was stated by competent judges as they- kneaded w-ith their knuckles the ample sides of these stupendous animals that finer stock could hardly be produced The shew- of swine was large and like the other stock of a very superior description Air Edwards of Sutton shewed a boar which was much admired and obtained the prize and Air Crisp of Glevering shewed a boar and nine pigs and Air AValler of Eyke a sow and six pigs all of which claimed considerable attention But the most remarkable animals were three pigs of the Suffolk breed which as they rolled over in their styes appeared to be so many masses of fat having been literally fed until they- were blind the tips of the snouts and the tails only being visible to denote that they- were of the swinish genus The first belonged to Mr AY Daniel of Bucklesham was 10 months old and estimated to weigh 30 stone The second which belonged to Mr Gooding of Campsey Ash was 12 months old weight 32 stone The third 15 months old and weighed 35 stone was the property of Air Aloses Crisp of Letheringham Each was distinguished for smallness of bone and the reader may imagine the appearance they presented when informed that they severally measured nearly- a yard across the back Such extraordinary animals were never before exhibited in Suffolk The prize was awarded to Air Daniel the judges giving the preference to his animal on the ground of early- maturity It is unnecessary to state that the shew afforded unqualified satisfaction to all present Mr Lewin of AVickham Alarket shewed some extraordinary fine specimens of Eclipse wheat for seed admitted to be the finest ever produced The straw of the present growth was as stout and as strong as reed and from 6 feet to 6 feet 6 inches in length the ears were stout strong and long in proportion and Mr Lewin exhibited two ears containing 221 grains He also showed some specimens of the improved Golden Drop wheat re markable also for superior brightness colour weight strength and quantity of produce Some fine samples of mangel wurzel likewise attracted attention At four 300 gentlemen partook of an elegant entertainment provided by Mr Tyce of the Hart in a large building which had been fitted up for the purpose but which proved inadequate no less than fifty gentlemen being unable to gain admittance were compelled therefore to dine at the Inn The Right Hon the Earl of Stradbroke presided at the dinner and after the usual toasts had been drunk Mr AYelton

promenader of Oxford-street must know the crossing that leads from Rathbonc-ptacc to Soho-square and every admirer of clean walking wet weather it is presumed has benefited by the labour of the broom on that particular spot A prodigious pucker has however been created in the region of this locality owing to the fact of rival candidates for the honour of sweeping the crossing having recently made their appearance The old sweeper a short time ago died of the gin fever leaving his broom to his widow with the right in perpetuity of the emoluments wet and dry of the crossing The disconsolate dame mourued three wliclc days and would not be except by that sort of consuiation wtiieh was drawn from the gin-shop During this interval a sturdy young rascal bliud of one eye humpbacked and bandylegged bought a broom) and sans ceremonie inducted himself into the vacant office In confirmation of the old adage that a new broom sweeps the new sweeper set himself so industriously to work extending his labours even to the shop doors of the tradesmen on both sides that lie soon created a party in his favour and this good feeling was still further increased when it was known that he dubbed himself Principal Sweeper to the from the circumstance of having swept a crossing near Kensing ton-gardens over which her Majesty herself had condescended to pass On Thursday last the widow in mob-cap new broom and weepers the picture of woe came to resume her labours on the crossing She found her rights invaded her situation occu pied and her rival for coppers with as much activity as a pair of bandy legs could evince At first she mildly remonstrated and begged him to drop liis tool in some other quarter but as this course was ol no avail she opened the flood-gates of her oratory upon him and a regular row was the consequence The widow finding she could gain no ground this way pumped up a flood of gin tears and ttirew herself 011 the compassion of the by-stanriers This step brought to the scene some of the tradesmen one portion of whom warmly espoused the cause of the widow while the other with no less vigour backed her bandy-legged rival The hubbub became so great that the police were obliged to interfere by walking off both the belligerents to the Marlborough Police-office I cannot suffer you to make a disturbance in the street this way said Mr Dyer before whom the cause was brought I think however that the woman has the best right to sweep the crossing Widow (wiping her I ony axes for my natral rights been my poor deceased dead property ever since lie vos a cripple vich

right to it You ought not however to attend one day and neglect it the next The widow went off in triumph vowing she would stick to her sweeping as long as she had an inch of birch to her broom CORN

Saxilby on the 1st of September was much alarmed by hearing a voice cry aloud I am shot I am shot I am dead dead d-d-dead On appoaching a little nearer to the field whence these awful exclamations were heard to his surprise he found that a worthy divine who lives within 50 miles of Broxholme had sallied out bent upon destruction bagging every tiling that came in his way but by mistake seeing something which it is supposed he took for either a Hare or an Otter he let fly with a double Alanton bang-bang and awful to relate hit the landlord of the Arms inn Lincoln on the stern quarter Fortunately the parties were at a pretty good distance asunder otherwise the accident might have keen serious are happy to say that medical attendance was called in in time and most of the shot extracted and that mine bore the operation with admirable fortitude and is doing well Lincoln Gazette What has been Done I will tell you what has been done AVe have kept the Tories out and I am happy to inform you that it is very probable they will be kept out And I understand that the Conservatives of Lancashire are so sensible that their sun is set that they have no chance of occupying that they have seen the absolute necessity of having no Conservative dinner at Newton this year Therefore you may see there are good grounds for hope that their that of the will not again he exercised But I may be allowed to ask those who ask AVhat have you why have you not done more It is quite evident that it has been the policy of the Tories by every means in their power to prevent measures being accomplished that are for the benefit of the people They say If we cannot displace the present if we cannot turn them out of office and get ourselves in we can so embarrass them as to prevent them doing anything useful any thing that will cause their supporters to be satisfied with And thus the Tories hope to obtain a chance of succeeding to their places This seems to have been their policy To be sure I am not one of those who suppose that nothing lias been done useful to the country It is certain that there lias been one hundred and three public hills passed and one hundred and thirty or forty local bills and 1 think every one of you will acknowledge that amongst them there have been some useful and good Mr Brotherton to his constituents Calamity from On Thursday Hannah Howortli the
