I ZINGARI v. BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
On Saturday this return match was played at Lord's,
where there was an immense aremblsge ot amateurs and
patrons of the game. It was the most brilliant cricket event
of the year. The ring of carriages, three or four feet deep
in some parts, extended for more than half the distance
round the ground. An enormous marquee was erected along
one aide of the ground, in which th, re was a cold cAlatien
spread out for too ladies. A. military band played the most
popular music of the day from two until hat-put seven
o'clock in the evening, whilst there were nearly fifty flags
of various colours flutiag around the scene of action.
The 'Say was of a high class. It will, however, be found
that the Gipsies proved to he the more powerful team of the
two, seeing that upon the first innings they had the advan-
tage by 26 runs. Taking the double scores into especial
notice, we find that Mr. Morse made 18 by a five, a four, a
three, end six singles in his first hand, and 28 in his second,
which number war thus composed—three fours, oaelthree,
two, end a string of ones. Then came Mr. Spencer White-
head with 37 and 49—these amounts consisted respectively of
two fives, a four, three threes, three twos, and eight singles
in the former case, and in the latter live, five fours, three
threes, three twos, and a batch of ones made up the total.
Mr. Taswell in his second innings, two fours, a three, a two,
and three ones comprised a 16; next came Mr. Broughton
with 23 and 8, the earlier number being made op of a six,
two threes, a couple of twos, and a balance of singles, and
' the latter total by a three, a two, and three singles. Mr.
Hartopp contributed 18 in his second hand, namely, a five,
two fours, a three, and a brace of ones. The gross total,
were 122 and 141, with four wickets down.
The scores on the part of the members of the two houses
were obtained by Lord Burghley, 25, by means of two threes,
a pair of two., and a lengthened list of singles; by Lord
Guernsey 10, namely, two threes and two twos, and Diver,
who supplied the place of the Eat of I) ernley (absent with-
out leave), made an offering of 21. in which were four tours,
a couple of twos, and a single. When " time was called
the score stood thus :

DEATH Or
THI EIrrOIIOLOOIST. —WO
regret to
M.A., rector of Barham, Suffolk, at that place, where he
had resided 68 years, on Thursday, July 4, in the 91st year
of his age. Mr. Kirby was Honorary President of the
Entomological Society of London, President of the Ipswich
Museum, and Fellow of the Royal, Linnean, Zoological, and
Geological Societies, besides being honorary member of seve-
ral foreign societies, and has left behind him an imperishable
name as one of the first entomologists of this or any age.
This title he would have assured to himself had he written
no other work than his " Monographia Avulse Anglia'," pub-
lished in 1801, in two volumes, Svo, in which. from mate-
rials almost wholly collected by himself, and the plates
of which were mostly etched by his own band (having
taken lessons in the art for this express purpose), he de-
scribed upwards of 200 of the wild bees of this country,
' with a largeness and correctness of view as to their
family (or as they
are now considered, generic) divisions,
that excited the warmest admiration of British and foreign
entomologists. But when to this great work we add his
other entomologioa labours—his numerous and valuable
papers in the " Transactions of the Linneau Society
Introduction to Entomology," written in conjunction with
Mr. Spence; the tntornological portion of his Bridgewater
Treatise "On the History, Habits, and Instincts of
Aninsah;" and his description (occupying a quarto volume),
of the insects of the " Fauna Boreali•Americana" of Sir
John Richardson; it will be evident how largely and sue-
easefully he has contributed to the extension of his favourite
science; and all this without encroaching in the slightest
degree on his professional or social duties, tor, whi‘e ranking
so high as an entomologist, he was during Milos Uf
exemplary and active clersjman, beloved b '
ks
of all ran, and one of the warmest o f floc
