THE ENGLISH CRICKETERS.

Melbouene, March 19th. The final cricket match played by the English Eleven in Victoria, came to an abrupt termination in consequence of the heavy rain which fell on the third day of the match, and after both sides had played their first innings, and the Victorians had partially completed their second, but this far with unsatisfactory results. A good deal of interest to say nothing of money, depended upon the match. Great disappointment was felt that it was not played out ; but it was greatly to the advantage of the Victorians, as., there was a probability of their being beaten, and now the match is a draw. The Victorians, in the first innings, scored 150 ; many of the best and most reliable players added little or nothing to the score. The innings occupied all one day ; and the following day the English innings terminated for 156. W. G. Grace played finely for 64 and then was bowled. Greenwood came next with 34, G. F. Grace 18, Southerton (not out) 15. The Victorian fielding allowed the Englishmen to top the scoro of their opponents, and two or three catches were missed. The same evening, the Victorian's second innings stood 10 wickets down for 55 runs. There is a good deal of ill-feeling between the professionals and the promoters : the former are dissatisfied with the treatment they have received, and wanted a first-class passage home, which the promoters refused to give. The letters which have appeared in the " Argus " have not tended to promote harmony: At the final dinner the professionals absented themselves. The team has now sailed for Adelaide, and all persons here are not sorry that they have seen the last of them — " Daily Times ."
