This morning, the weather being fine and the wind
somewhat boisterous, play in this match was resumed at
Kennington Oval at a few minutes before 12, the " not
outs," of last night, Jupp with 3 and Griffith, minus a
run, commencing the hitting, against Dr. Grace's and Mr.
K. D. Walker's bowling. Griffith was again in great force,
and made 14 by a four, three, and singles, before Jupp had
registered his mark ,• the latter then made an off drive for 3
from Mr. R. D. Walker. When the score was up to 36, Mr.
Maitland superseded Mr. G race at thcPavilion wicket,but the
first ball he delivered G riffith lifted to long-on overthe forms
near the reporter's room. The next over saw the but of
Griffith, who went in to one of Mr. Maitland's, and miss-
ing of course paid the usual penalty, Mr. Round thus far
being instrumental in disposing of all the players' wickets
(3 for 45). C. Coward next faced Jnpp, who drove Mr.
Walker well to long-on for 4, and Coward began with a 3
on-drive off Mr. Maitland. He followed suit
by an off-drive for 4 off Mr. Walker. His de-
fence and hit were so effective, that when GO
were telegraphed, Mr. It. D. Walker threw the ball to
Mr. Trail!, who bowled a maiden over to begin with.
When the total had reached 66, Jupp hit a ball of Mr.
Maitland, to Mr. J. Walker, at cover-point, Coward
started, and before he could recover his ground his wicket
was put down, just when he had become well established.
Thus the fourth wicket went to the bad for 66. Coward's
17 included one four, three threes, one two, &c. Rain
then commenced, and at ten minutes before 1 an adjourn-
ment took place. The game at this period stood as
under:

" The drainage of a portion of the Znydcr Zee,"
says the Pr,"eurseur of Antwerp, "is 'trimly contem-
plated in Holland. An eminent engineer, M. Beyerinck,
has a plan for recovering 500,000 acres from the water—
that is the whole of the part situated between the south
of Kafeldiep and the north of the Isle of Urk. The sue.
ten which has attended similar operations in the Haarlem
Lake, from which 45,000 acres of land have been recovered,
augurs favourably for the result of the work now under

The Belgian Moniteur publishes • decree per
Y. Van der Weyer, Belgian Minister at London,
to retire on a pension, while at the same time preserving
his rank in the diplomatic corps. Several changes in the
Belgian Legations are in consequence announced ; M.
Henri Solvyns is to go to London from Florence, where he
will be replaced by Baron Dujardin, whose poet at The
Hague will be filled by M. de Beaulieu, at present accre-
dited to the Courts of Southern Germany.
M. Sarcey relate• in the Epoque how M. Nisard
came to know the name of the pupil of the Normal School
accused of having drawn up the address to M. Sainte-
Heave :—" The Director of the School is at the French
Academy colleague of M. Sai•teßeuve, and sometimes
pays him a visit. Whilst talking to M. Nisard about the
recent incident in the Senate, M. Sainte•Beuve observed,
with a smile, 'Ah, here is a letter which I have just re-
«bred from your pupils.' And so saying he very inno-
Ently banded the paper to the director, who then took
note of the name placed at the bead of the list of signa-
tures."

FRB/ICEMEN IA Lornamt.—A Frenchman writing
from London addressee Le Sport with the following sketch
of high life in London :—" The English mode of living
consists of numerous repasts without much flavour, and •
turn in Hyde-park on foot, on horseback, or in a • .
The amazons and cavaliers may be seen at mid-day in t •
privileged ride ; and at 5 o'clock • crowd of carriages in
what is called the ' drive.' Sunday, however, is an ex-
ception to the ordinary nil', and the fashionable world
on that day visit the splendid Zoological-gardens in
Regent's-park ; that is to say, when • dinner at Green-
wich or Richmond has not been stringed. The matt/sea,
however, are much in nee among the English aris-
tocracy. The Marquis of Westminster, who owns the
land of no inconsiderable portion of the vast City of Lon-
don, which, on the falling in of lessee, will be worth some-
where about • milliard of pounds sterling, held • very
numerous gathering of this description before his depar-
ture for the country. Many of the most eminent politi-
cians and wealthy lords whose names are found in the
pages of English history were present, as well as the
Duchess of Cambridge. Visitors promenaded the saloons
and refreshed themselves at buffets laden with rare and
splendid fruit, pastry, ices, and the wines of France and
Spain. The admirable picture gallery, containing the
eliefe downy of Rubella, Titian, Vandyke, Murillo,
Hobbema, and Salvetor Rosa, was inspected with
the liveliest interest ; then the company sought
their carriages, after lingering • tolerably long time
among these pictorial treasures of art. We must acknow-
ledge that we failed to meet caller at this swank or in
other salmi those fine specimens of young English girls
which were so numerous • few years ago. There are still
some young beauties to be seen, but they are rare--rater
perhaps than in Paris. They are almost all of them tall
and slim, well made, and whose general expression is calm
and thoughtful. Dinners are frequent, and the more dis-
tinguished aristocracy are invited out almost every even-
ing. During the past fortnight there have been several
balls and concerto of the highest class in the fashionable
world. Snell vast numbers of persons are invited to the
balls that the women take their seats on the Asir steps,
and the men ere obliged to stand."
