CRICKET.
KENT v. ENGLAND.

With this return match the grand cricket week com-
menced at Canterbury on Monday, there being an im-
mense assemblage of visitors from London, Dover, Rama-
gate, Margate, Herne Bay, and indeed from all other
parts of Kent. Nearly the whole of the leading families
of the county were present. During the dinner hour
the band of the Rifles played the fashionable music of
the day, the company promenading along the upper side
of the ground, which thus presented a very brilliant ap-
pearance.
Kent went in first, and having scored 112, England
entered upon their innings. At the conclusion of the
day the score stood as follows:

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
COWES, TUESDAY EVENING. - The Royal Yacht
Squadron, as the parent institution of the kingdom, has
ever maintained a pre-eminent position and importance
over the other more recent but flourishing branches, and
the opening of the present regatta gives an earnest that,
notwithstanding the closeness of one event upon an-
other, it will prove as brilliant a meeting as on any
andoth
former occasion. The beautiful waters of the Solent are
now,
the diespdlay with
of
theeir m
thickly dotted
iminfleet ridingdistinguishing a
colours,t
with the dressing of many of them in their holiday
bunting, gives an animation to the scene, which,
country,
it with the beauty of the surrounding
it would be difficult to equal in any other pa courntol
England. The regatta has also received additional im-
portance from the proximity to the royal residence of
Osborne, being under the immediate patronage of her
Most Gracious Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, wbo almost invariably honour it with their
presence. Whether the present regatta will be any
exception to the general rule will have to be seen, but
there appears to be a very general opinion here that her
Majesty will return to Osborne House from her marine
excursion in time sufficient to see the contest for Prince
Albert's Cup, if not for that of her own royal gift. The
weather was most auspicious, and presented a singu-
larly-marked contrast to that of yesterday, for in the
place of a darkened sky and a thick drizzling rain we
had a fine and clear atmosphere, with a warm and bril-
liant sunshine, with just sufficient wind to make a sail-
ing-match interesting. The town is now very full of
company, and the beach was crowded at different parts
of the day with a great number of fashionables, who ap-
peared highly to relish the display of sailing skill pro-
vided for their amusement.
The yachts at present in the Solent and the Medina
are very numerous, but even the present large number
would have been considerably increased but for the bois-
terous gales experienced of late, which has prevented
many of them from coming up from the westward and
other ports. It was stated that the Coquette, on her
way from Plymouth to this place, had sunk, but this
rumour has turned out, happily, to be without founda-
tion, as information has lately been received that, being
overtaken by a storm, she put into Weymouth, and has
escaped with but slight damage.
Amongst the fleet of yachts now present are :—The
Xarifa, the Earl of Wilton (Commodore of the Royal
Yacht Squadron) ; the Capricorn, C. R. M. Talbot,
