A SERIES OF SWINDLING OPERATIONS.—For the last five or six years Messrs. Sloan & Co., carpet dealers, No. 655 Broadway, have been very nach ex- ercised by the knowledge gained from their balance sheet thal a very extensive leak existed somewhere in their establishment through which no inconsider- able portion of the profit accruing to thein in their business operations Was being diverted to others’ use and benefit. So cleverly, however, and with such erfect system was this peculation conducted that for # long time suspicion never — entered the mind of oh member of the firm implicating any Individual or suggesting any ian whereby the robberies of whieh they new themselves the victlius could be carried on. Some time since, having finally reached the conclu- sion that others more experienced in the ways of dishonesty and beiter posted in the matter of crimt ha! instincts than they might be able to discover ev: dences of suspicion and guilt where none existed for them, they consulted with detective Farley, of the Central office, and placed the matter in lis charge, with the understanding tbat he was to work up tie ease. Farley set about it without delay, and after prospecting around for a short time became suspl- “jous of two of thé empiosés of the firm, Charles Frieker and Johu Lougitran, whose duty it was to measure and determine the amount of carpet nevessary to fill an order given to car- pet such and such rooms, Their plan of operations, it is alleged, was to give in at the store a number of yards in excess of what was re- quired, the overplus betag the profit they made in the transaction, Having fixed ihe matter (hus to his satisfaction, detective Feriey late on Wednesday night arrested Fricker and Loughran, and snubs quently Thos. Sulkeed, wlio, he ascertained, was t receiver who had purchased this property: About two huudred yards of carpet of the value of four dollars per yard was recovered, aud more ts ex- pected io turn up. ‘The extent of the robberies chus } trated is not yet known, but is thouchi to be very hewyy.

THE NEW, CR OXYGEN, LIGHT. ‘The proprictors in America of the great chemical discovery of France, and which in avery brief pe- riod of time is destined to revolutionize our present mode of artificial lighting by oils and carburetted hydrogen extracted from coal, tar and other vege- table substances, are making unostentatious but rapid progress toward meeting in their fulness ail the exigent demands that, the light once introduced, will be made upon them, Having by the repeated experiments of Professor Doreimus, to whom the practical questions which enter into the use of the oxygen in combination with street gas Were submitted, and from whom none but the most favorable reports have been received, the gentlemen interested have organized themselves into a company, and, without opening stock, sub- scribed suiicicut capital to warrant them in erecting a large laboratory, two hundred fet in length by one huatred in breadth, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, in Forty-first street.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT IN THE KAVESINK RIVER. {From the Evening Telegram, Sept. 17.) We have the painful information from the Nave- sink Highlands that yesterday, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, the wife of Mr. W. T. Deyoo, of New York, and a daughter, were drowned iu the Navesink river, near the town, at the southern corner of the Highlands, Known as Minturn’s or Rocky Pomt. Mr. Devoo, with his family, occupy @ cottage during the summer on the opposite side of the river, which is there about half @ mile in width, and with his sailboat has been in the habit of in- duiging his wife and children, a daughter of ten and son of eigit years of age, in an afternoon or even- ing 1 on the beautiful river. He is said to be a ekful boatwan, and hence, perhaps, his temerity fo venturing out with his family in such @ heavy northwesier as prevailed yesterday afternoon. At all events, in turning the point aforesaid his boat was capsized, and himself, wife and two children were threwn into the water, For a while the wife and danghter supported themselves by the side of the boat, assisted by Mr. Devoo, but observing that the boy on the sail, Which Was under, appeared to be drowning, the father tarned for a moment to the jad’s relief, But when, with the assistance of one of the river boatmen, Captain Dion Springstein, the boy was exirica! he was found to be dead, and the father, ou turning to the other two, discovered that the mother had gone down. Her body at our last accounts this morning had not yet been recov- ered. This painful accident has cast a sad gloom over al) the vicinity, and especially so as Mr. Devoo and his family were held in much esteem by afl their bors. Only @ day or two before a lady, in crossing the river in a rowboat from Thompson's across to the narrow strip of land whieh divides the river from the sea, had a narrow escape from drowning.

CRICKET. “one The International Match—All Enginad Eleven vs. Twenty-Twe of New York Continuation of the Plays Coid and uninyiting, the morning opened inaus- pictously for the international match yesterday. A keen, piercing blast from the northwest biew strongly, entirely suggestive of great coats and mufiiers. At half-past ten o’ciock but few spectators had assembled on the ground, which looked bieak and vacant in contrast to the comparatively brilliant speciacie of the day preceding. By eleven, however, @ sudden transfermation scene appeared to have taken place, for the sun shone brilliantly and the seats began to be crowded with # large and fashion- able assemblage, while around the ropes the spec- tators gathered in rapidly increasing numbers, Before the play was actually resumed scarcely less than between three and four thousand persons could have been present, Moreover, the interest in the game, now that it was becoming to be better known, seemed to increase, and the opening was await with lively anticipa- tions, About half-past eleven the cricketers appeared in fall regalia amid some manifestations of applause. The details of the play are subjoined, but a word or two about the exhibition itself, When the Eleven Were disposed of for 175 the twenty-two went in for their first innings, and then followed a display that well earned the approbation it elicited. The field- ing of the “All England’? was a perfect masterpiece of art, There was not a single man on the field who was not thoroughly adequate to.lis position. The bowling of Willsher and Freeman was simply per- fection, almost every ball being dead on the wickets and delivered in a style which only the most determined practice and eficiency could have attained. The score speaks for itself. Pooley, as wicket keeper, kept the spectators in the best of humor, not by mere dodging but by downright excellence, and the merriment of the au- dience frequently gave way to wonder. Rowbo- tham was a splendid long stop. Indeed, every one had his peculiar merit. The most terrific hits were fielded with an ease and grace that ren- dered the exhibition quite a pleasure to behold. It is unnecessary to dilate upon the numer- ous occasions in which the sklil and science of the cricketers were exbibited. Suffice it to observe that they acquitted themselves in a manner that left but one impression of their marvellous powers. Under such circumstances, then, it 1s not surprising that the twenty-two did not run up & large 6 core; in fact, itis more so that they did so well, " At all events they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have almost doubled the score of the twenty-two who played against the English cricketers in 1859, Judging by the events of yester- day it is not likely that they will defeat their visitors on this occasion, although go far they have succeeded ly, and have undoubtedly established the fact that cricket has vastly improved within the last half dozen Pigedad That it will be promoted and fostered there is every reason to believe, and those who witnessed the game yesterday cannot fail to cherish such a hope. Beyond question the game was thoroughly enjoyed yesterday as testified by the fre- quent tokens of approbation which characterized- ae lay throughout, ‘The following are the details e play:— When the stamps were drawn on Wednesday even- ing the Eleven had obtained 127 runs for seven wickets. Play was resumed at half-past eleven, Pooley (not out 18) and Freeman (not out 3) re- sumed their positions at the wickets amid some tokens of approbation. Harry Wright led off in splendid style, his bail being received by the humor- ous Pooley, who figured like a dancing master, to the immense amusement of the spectators. He made a run on the third? bail, the next ball being ably blocked. Wright then took his over and in the second ball disposed of Pooley, to the immense regret of every one resent. He retired for 18, and the telegraph showed (39 for 8 wickets. The vacant wicket was supplied by by Chariwood, who inaugurated his innings by a tine cut for one, Subsequently Freeman made a magnifl- cent leg cut for 4, for waich he was rewarded with a round of approbation. The twenty-two were evi- dently on the alert, having learned a sound lesson from tieir display of the preceding day. After some careful batting Freeman made an excellent ran oif Norley, The next was a maiden over by Wright. In the second ball of Norley over, Freeman made another of his excelleat cuts for one. The flelding Was now decidedly good and evidenced a vast im- provement on the preceding day. Charlwood added another single to his score. Wright’ bowling was “dead ow’? and Chariwood succeeded in smashing a bat. Having returned with a fresh willow, Norley resumed his bowling, when Freeman, ap mntly destined for a long run, was nicely caught Les. Wiltster, the captain of the eleven, now fliled the va- cancy, Charkvood forcing the bowling of Norley, which resnited in nothing. Willsher is a left han ‘vat, but Wright’s bowling being directed to the in stump, and too wide for that, nothing characterizea the over except a bye. Inthe next over by Norley Willsher made a splendid cut for 3, driving the bail right among the refreshments in the tent amid’ ap- planse, Charlwood then made a drive for 2 off Nor- jey and Wulsher @ singie, weil sropped by Wright. A splendid chance was given by Charlwood, but badiy unissed, ane runs were recorded to his credit.

A ter some carefol and igen ad Lee was to bowl, but his first ball was patched to leg by Chariwood in masterly style, for which he obtained three. In the next over another chance was missed at point. The following ball was driven to the on by Willsher and beautifully caught by Harry Wright amid great cheering. ‘his brought the first inni of the Kleven to a close, Charlwood carried h pot for 18, his innings comprising two 5's, five 28 and singles, and Willsher one 5, two 2's and singles. twenty-two then took their atand and the fleld- the “All Engiand” was looked iorward to with t anxiety as well as with anticipations of plea- ‘The brightest anticipations of the spectators fully realized, for periaps @ finer sepia has been witnessed ip this country.

Engle vs. Empire. The return game between these clubs came off yes- terday afiernoon, and resulted in anotber defeat for the Empires, Unfortunately the latter club has been: compelled to appear in almost every match game minus some of the strongest players, The game of yesterday was no exception to this rule, and, of course, defeat was the result, as the Eagles, possess- ing and presenting a first rate nine, are by ho means to be trifled with. Of the playing on the occasion that of Miller, Post, Duncan and Keltsen is worthy of mention, although tire latter made some very throws, and the entire Eagle nine deserves credit, one member as much as the other, for steady and ef- fective playing.
