confined to three. Sister to Stafford filly underwent a few
changes. After being supported at 100 to 6, she went to

the Tradesman's Cup, 5 to 2 was freely taken about Ivan-

TEE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN AGAINST TEE
UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN.
At Lord's Ground yesterday the interest that was excited
on the previous day was, perhaps, more manifested, there
being nearly 6,000 spectators present. The game was re-
sumed at about 12 o'clock, the All England Eleven con-
tinuing their innings (three wickets being down) by sendo
rug in H. IL (Surrey) Stephenson to join Daft. From fiv
obtained on the previous evening Daft made his figures up
to 36, gained in his usual scientific manner; among thein
were three fours, four threes, &c. H. H. Stephenson con-
tinued to bat most successfully, and Bennett was called on
to bowl, so also Iddison; but still he made runs, and car-
ried out his bat with 70, gained by really good play against
good bowling; 4imong his hits were a five, five fours, two
threes, and eight twos. Anderson's score of 11 comprised
a four, a three, and a two. In Jackson's 19 runs were a
five, a four, and three threes. Atkinson, being called upon
a second time t) bowl, was most successful in taking the
last three wickets. The total of the innings was 203,being
77 majority. The United fielded well together. The
wickets fell in the following manner::—One for 19, two for
22, three for 40, four for 97, five for 105, six for 133, seven
for 148, eight for 165, nine for 177, ten for 203. A quarter of
an hour having elapsed, the United Eleven entered upon
their second innings, Mortlock and Bennett commencing
the batting against Willsher and Hayward's bowling.
Mortlock made a hit for four,and was then bowled by Will-
sher. Carpenter followed, and again ably illustrated the
art of hitting ; Bennett scored 11, by a four, three twos,
and singles. Iddison added 6, but being then disposed of
by Willsher, Griffith took his place, and he and Carcenter
kept raising the score so much as to cause a change of
bowling, Jackson taking Willsber's end. As no imme-
diate result followed, Tarrant was called on to go at Hay-
ward's end, and he in his second ball succeeded in
lowering Carpenter's stumps for a score of 39, in which were
a five, two. fours, and two twos. Caffyn came next, but
in the following over Griffith was disposed of
by Jackson, after a fast :innings, of 2.5, compri-
sing a fiVe, two threes, and four twoes. Lockyer cams
forward,--„blat Tarrant was successful in sending back
Caffyn far a singje, and John Lilywhite (who_ took his
place) for "0." lyistlen then appeared, and shortly after-
wards TAirrant again proved fortunate by_stoping Lockyer's
career,,aftes,aAively innings, of 21, comprising- four fours
and two twos. It being now 7 o'clock the stumps were
drawn for the day, the state of the score being as under :or

The annual dinner of the Royal Artillery took
place at Willis's Rooms on Monday last, his Roya
Highness the Duke of Cambridge in the chair. Up-
wards of 100 gentlemen were present, among whom
we noticed Sir G. Pollock, Sir W. Brereton, Gens.

Brooke, Sir R. Dacres, Dupuis,lloh, Wingfield,
G. Higgins, D. Grant, Arbuckle, Wylde, and Bloom-
field ; Cols. Teesdale, Bingham, S andham, Burnaby,
Crofton, St. George, D'Aguilar, Wodehouse, Ask-
with, Anderson, Brougham, Gambier, and Thomas ;
Capt. Forbes, &c. The Chairman, after proposing
" the health of her Majesty the Queen and his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales," made a
speech, in which he intimated his approval of the
recent amalgamation of the Royal Artillery regi-
ments. Sir George Pollock, in returning thanks,
pointed out the advantage that he had derived from
having had command of an army in the field, and
said that every artillery officer from his particular
professional education ought to have sufficient
knowledge of military affairs to take the command
of a division of the army. Saveral speeches fol-
lowed, especial honour being done to Capt. Forbes,
the secretary, whose health was drunk. His Royal
_ _

Highness took his departure about half past 11
His Royal Highness the Prince Carignano and
suite yesterday visited Woolwich Garrison, and
were received by General Sir Richard Dacres and
staff in full uniform. Soon after his Royal High-
ness rode up to the review ground and witnessed
the field-day evolutions of the mounted batteries of
the Royal Horse Artillery, and the field brigades
supplied with the Armstrong guns. The proceed-
ings represented an attack and defence of a position
on the slope of the hill. The Prince expressed
himself much delighted with the appearance and
evolutions of the Artillery, and admired the pre-
cision and regularity with which they galloped past
without breaking their front. During these pro•
ceedings on Woolwich common Prince Philippe of
Saxe-Coburg Gotha and suite were inspecting the
Dockyard, over which they were accompanied by
Sir Frederic Nicolson, the Commodore-Superinten-
dent. The Prince visited, with much apparent
interest, Capt. Coles's cupola on board the Trusty,
as well as the Caledonia, and other
ships under
construction in the yard, and left Woolwich in the
Commodore's.

When Normans and Saxons had become one
people in England, the Fen district presented a changed
aspect once more. The swamps and innumerable channels
the
and udbanks had, for the most part, disappeared ; and
ra
waters were gathered into lakes 'and rivers of sufficient
depth to render the intervening soil solid and dry. In the
time of Stephen and Henry 11. the beauty of the regionio l as
was
extolled. There were pastures and cornfields
r© not only
asel
lakes, and woods with lofty trees. Therewer
blossoming orchards, but no waste lands anywhere; and,
as for the settlements in the reclaimed lands, each one had
a church so beautiful that that part of our island became
famous for them. If we, in our day, are proud of the
Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire and Norfolk shurches,—
so large and noble, with their crocheted spires or flaely
proportioned steeples—what must our forefathers have been
eight centuries ago ? They gloried in their Fen -- country ;
and not without reason.—Once a Week.
