CRICKET.

OREYTOWN V MABTBBIOK. ! A match between the above, drioket! j Clubs was played at i day last, and resulted in : a fwiii .for the; home team by 18 runs after a well conr: i tested game.. The pitch was in very (food ! condition, hut tlie rain of the previous day ■ had somewhiiV softened it, and : made it ;: favorable for batting, The fielding ground Was very rough,.rendering the movements of the ball at time's rather doubtful. The j wickets were pitched at 10.30. when the sun commenced to' break through [ho 1 threatning clouds, and with the exoeption 1 of a slight shower, the weather ; was delightful throughout the day. There 9 was not such'a large attendance of visitor* 1 as is usual at a Greytown match, the fair • sei being -particularly conspibuousby 1 their absence,vwhether (from-the reputiv >• tioe hrouitht with thera) .-they. • expeoted their champions 10 be beaten or 1 not, it is-'difficult : to 'say,- but'the'raatch ' was rdbbed of charm, through 1 thoir abseflfle,' and perhaps ths small;BCor- ' ing on both sides can be attributed ito the < same cause! - Mr 1 Cuff won the ton 3 from Harrison, and elected to'.'Jake 1 the dead wicket, Hawke and ' 'TTdy facihg the bowling of D'Aroy and Perry.

As regarded the Catholics, he contended' that the law of education in New-Zea-land assailed- their pockets 'and . and- that the effect it produced on Catholics was precisely the same as wowld be produced-if Parliament enacted a lawexcluding themfrom the-schoolrooms, for what was the difference between a law, so far as its effects were concerned, whichdirectlyexcluded them from a schoolroom, and a 'law which ! iri its administration ''enwifli such conditions that it was impossible for them, as honest and Binceve Catholics to comply with these 'conditions. The aotion on the part of the ture in making such a law, in. spite of protests and petitions,, was a ; {»K80Uting aot, which Catholics, as men, were bound to rise up and protest against.
