CRICKET.—THEIUNIVERSITY OF OXFORD V. THE
GENTLEMEN OP ENGLAND.—O wing to the rain yesterday
morning it was past 2 o'clock before this match was com-
menced at Lord's ground. England first took possession 1
of the wickets, and Mr. R. D. Walker and Mr. Daubeny
started bowling. The Hon. S. Ponsonby marked a three
and a single, and retired ; one wicket and seven runs. Mr.
Benthall next became the partner of tho Hon. T. De Grey,
but the former did not stay long; he marked eight, com•
prising a four and a two ; two wickets and 25 runs. Mr.
Wingfield was the next, and the batting became more
lively, causing a change of bowling, Mr. Mitchell taking
the ball from Mr. Daubeny. The score ran up to 53, when
Mr. Wingfield gave a chance to Mr. Reade, who had re-
lieved Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Wingfield played in a very free
style and scored 16, comprising two fours, a three, and a
two. No other stand was made till Mr. Plowden appeared,
after the retirement of the Hon. T. De Grey, who had con-
tributed 23, in which were four threes and two twos. Mr.
Plowden took his bat out with 13, comprising a fine drive
for five and two threes. The fourth wicket fell for 60,
fifth for 61, sixth for 63, seventh for 67, eighth for 71, ninth
for 83, tenth for 95. Oxford fielded very well, and Mr. R.
B. Walker bowled throughout. Oxford lost two wickets
for 51 runs, when rain put a stop to the play for the day.
THE POPE AND THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR.—A
letter from Rome, of July 1, in Bailie? s Correspondence,
says It is confirmed that M. de Lavalette has made
proposals to the Pope to secure him a pecuniary indemnity
in consideration of his agreeing to the status quo. The
Pope replied in these terms,--' I have no right to exchange
forthe
many
even countless millions so much as a single village of
of which I have been robbed within the last three
years. Besides, the King of Piedmont, as you well know,
proclaims that he must have Rome for his capital. The
arrangement you propose would not suit him, it would not
not suit the Emperor,
no more about it; " and it does not suit me. Let us say

HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA.

FIRST DAY.
The list of sport for yesterday was the fullest that we
have seen for many years past at this great annual meeting
of gentlemen amateurs, and the rowing was exceedingly
fine. The programme was a series of features of interest,
and was much diversified. The weather was wet in the
morning, but the railway trains which had been specially
put on conveyed a. great number of persons to the races, and
the weather was somewhat finer in the afternoon. The
stewards had, as usual, made every provision for the ac-
commodation of visitors.
The sport commenced at 3 o'clock with the

In the contest for the Grand Challenge Cup, it will be
seen that there were besides the above the Oxford Univer-
sity and Trinity College Boat Clubs, and the division was a
very satisfactory one. The London crew, who were at
Henley on Tuesday, and have been practising hard upon
the course ever since, were the favourites; they had taken
much pains with themselves, and were in very fine condi-
tion. The Oxford University boat was the next for choice,
and in some instances were preferred.

There was no advantage in the choice of station, the
wind being dead down the river. The Kingston made a
famous start, and obtained a lead of a quarter of a length,
but directly their opponents got well to work, they came
up with them, and at Remenham just showed their nose in
front. After this, although the Kingston men rowed very
gallantly, the Londoners increased their lead, were a length
clear at the Poplars, and won by three lengths.

The crews were both started very evenly, and they rowed
together for two hundred yards, when the Mersey crew
drew a little in edvance at Remenharn, after which Brase-
nose drew up, and although the Mersey men rowed hard/
they began to fal astern, No. 3 in the boat catching a crab,
and the steerage being bad, Oxford won as they liked at the
finish. The Mersey men were much distressed.

Trinity took the lead for a few strokes, when University
came up. Trinity has held its own at the head of the river
for some tin, and University, who has made five or six
bumps during the term, had now come into the broadwater
to try an abjeast race with them. When University came
up in the ra.:e as just described, they could not retain their
position, aid Trinity inch by inch went away and were
three-quarters of a length a head at the finish.

First Heat.
Cambridge—Messrs. Hawkshaw and Chambers.. 1
London—Messrs. Brickwood and Brickwood .... 0

They were started levelly, but the wind was blowing
gustily, as a prelude to a heavy shower. They rowed very
evenly to Remenham, when the Brickwoods, one of whom
had afterwards to row in the scull's race, left off rowing, the
labour being exceedingly severe for a light man. The win-
ners then finished as they liked.

Cambridge C. H. W. Pinall

They were all three together for a 'short time, and then
Woodgate and Cox went in front. Mr. Forrest then came
up, and in the heat of the race he and Cox fouled, before
they had proceeded fa" from the starting place. Mr. Cox
went up to Woodgate and then took a slight lead, and while
in that position rowed wildly into the shore, but retrieving
himself followed Mr. Woodgate, who only came in two
lengths ahead and mitth distressed.

This, like many events in the regatta, was a race in
itself, and one creafng very lively interest. The Eton
crew of rowers, exclusive of the coxswains, were about five
stone the heavier met, but their coxswain was three stone
heavier than the Eadey. Betting was 6t04 on Eton, and
in some cases much nore. There was a great splashing of
the water on the Radby getting away, owing to their haste;
they were only together for about a furlong, and then Eton
put on a spurt, and drew themselves clear before they
reached Remenham. Radley rowed very gallantly, but
were overmatched, the Etonian continuing the lead, and
winning by three loughs.

the Iced on nearing the Poplars by a length. Won by a

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—A large full-
length portrait of his late Highness Mahommed Ali, father
of the present Viceroy of Egypt, has just been placed in a
conspicuous position under the western dome. This picture
was painted at Cairo by Mr. Thomas Brigstocke for the
Oriental Club, from whose members Mr. Brigstocke was
the bearer of an address to his highness. It was exhibited
some years ago at the Royal AcaAcademy, and subsequently at
the Manchester Exhibition. Besides its merits as a painting
it is remarkable as being: the only portrait for which the
great Pasha gave sittings to
a British painter, save for a
small one by Sir David Wilkie, now in the possession of the
Marquis of Lansdowne. It has been kindly lent by the
Oriental Club, at the request of the present Viceroy's dip-
lomatic agent, Mr. Lancing,
