A match has Just cnme off between the best plsycr, Mr Stanley, aa English gentleman well known in our own circle, and the leading Philadelphia amateur. Twenty-one games in all were pUttd, of which our gallant countryman won eleven, lost seven, and drew three. We shoold be glad to receive the game*. The second New York I it is M Scbulnu. We place him second, becsuso he lost so decidedly with Mr Stanley, though the dlffc-enct* between them miy be but nominal. U Schulten ha* been stopping some time in Paris, and will probably visit Londsn, in his way home to America. In Paris, he played twenty-four games with St Amant, winning ona-fourth. but receiving no odds. M Schulten la a player of great vivacity and brilliancy of style, and his return to the New York Club is ardently looked tor. The best player in Suutn America is M Rousseau, who recently passed through London in his way home to New Orleans. Msny persons, indeed, place him higher than either Mr Stanley or M Schulten. M Rousseau played three game* in our metropolia, two with the hoo. secretary of the London Ciao, each winning one; and the third at the St George’s Club with Mr G. Walker, which, after a fight of four or five hours, terminated in a draw. M Rousseau is decidedly weaker, however, than either of these two 11 Britishers.” .Chess in Paris.—We regret to learn that General GuIngret, th« respected president of the Paris Club, is dangerously ill.
