ELEVEN OF ENGLAND V. TWENTYTWO OF CANADA.

Montreal, September 26, 1859. " The cricket mutch commenced on Saturday "at noon, with the Canai-ians at the wickets From the fast- bowling they continued making runs, until Parr went on the 16th wicket and made sad havoc with his slows. The last wicket fell for 85 runs, leaving the Cuun.dians rather nervous from their sad prospect of .success. "At 5-15 p.m., England sent Wisden and Grundy to the wickets, and after some pretty play, Hardinge found his way to Grmirly's stumps. ETayward was then sent in, and played steadily with Wisden till sundown, when the score stood seven for one wicket. "On Monday at 11*30 a.m., they be^an to play, and at 3 o'clock the last wicket fell. V Tlie Canadians again faced the bowling, but when time had been called 17 wickets had fallen for 43 runs, Parr bowling splendidly, having taken six good wickets in half an hour. T!ie nervousness of the first innings had taken strong- hold, the slows finding their way faster to the wickets than the fast bowling. The urame was stopped at twilight, the sun shining in the faces of ihe batssnen, with four wickets to fall on the side of the Canadians. "The twenty-two are laughed at by their friends, who bet two to one on the twenty-two of the St. George's Club. The English eleven play splendidly, and it is a perfect picture to see them, but they will finj their equals in the twenty-two at Hobokeu. There were 6,000 people on the ground, and the military fcand played some fine selections. There were many ladies, military officers, and heads" of. departments witnesses to the nintch. The followi !g is the score : — TWENTY-TWO OF CANADA. FIRST INNINGS. / SECOND INNINGS.
