TASMANIA.
The match between the All England Eleven and twentytwo of Tasmania, resulted in the former winning with lour wickets to go down. E. Stephenson made the tine score of CO; while on the other side one of the players, named VVhitesides, was not got rid of till he had placed 50 on the scoring paper, nearly twice as much its has ever been obtained, out of England, by any one batsman, against the English eleveu. A gentlemen just returned from Sydney informs us that he had it on imdeniable authority that Messrs. Spiers and Pond, the gentlemen who have so successfully speculated in the introduction of the All-England Crieketer3, have in contemplation another enterprise. Humour had it that the new enterprise was the charter of the Great Eastern for a trip to Australia as a show vessel. The real novelty, however, appears to be the engagement of the world-renowned Blondin, who, it is said, will wheel his barrow from the South to the North Head of Port Jackson, and perform other feats there, and across Hobsons's Bay, that will astonish the natives. Mi\ Pond, who accompanies the cricketers to England, is charged with the completion of the preliminaries necessary for bringing Blondin before the public of the Australia*. — 11 dart r Jown Adccrtbicr, March '28.
