KENT V. SURREY.--This great match was resumed
yesterday at the Oval, where again a large number of
spectators assembled to see what was done by the an-
tagonistic parties. Mr. Norton and Hinkly, who carried
out their bats on Monday evening, again went to the
wickets, and before the former was removed he had in-
creased his score from 3 to 15, whilst the latter did the
like from 2 to 13, and shouldered his bat upon his col-
league being caught. The total of the Kent innings
was thus 83, or 9 less only than that of their opponents
—a close match. Surrey then entered upon their second
innings, and occupied the remainder of the day ; but
during that time there was a beautiful display of cricket.
The score at the close of the day stood thus :—Surrey—
First innings, 92 ; second innings, 109. Kent, 83.

THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX V. NOTTINGUAIII.—This match
was opened at Brighton on Monday. We subjoin the
result of the day's play :—Sussex, first innings, 68 ;
Nottingham, 83. The match was resumed yesterday.
KINGSTON V. REGENT'S-PARE.—This was the return
match, and was played yesterday on Mr. Mitchellson's
ground, Cricketers, Kingston. Nothing more than the
score tells is needful to remark, if we except the singular
circumstance that, in the first innings of Kingston.
Bentley secured 3 wickets in 3 successive balls, and that
in that of the Regent's-park, Grossmith secured 8 wickets
from his own bowling. On both sides the fielding was
excellent. The match was won by Kingston by 61 on
the first innings. At the conclusion of the match, Mr.
Crouch presented the Kingston Club with two of Calde-
court's best bats, a set of stumps, and two of Dark's
balls, as a testimony of his approval of their general
good conduct, and judicious management of the matches
played during the season. The result of the day's play
was as follows :—Regent's-park—First innings, 25.
Kingston—First innings, 92 second innings, 101.
NORTH FINSBURY CLUB V. BRIXTON HAND-IN-HAND.
—The return match between eleven gentlemen of the
North Finsbury Club and eleven gentlemen of the Hand-
in-Hand Club, Brixton-hill, was played on the ground
adjoining the Northampton Arms, Lower-road, Isling-
ton, on Monday. The result was thus :—Finsbury—
First innings, 20 ; second innings, 60. Brixton-hill—
First innings, 30_; second innings, 55.
SYDENHAM V. ST. JOHN'S, WESTMINSTER.—This was
a match played at Vincent-square, for the benefit of
Charles Bentley, the bowler, and the appeal was most
liberally responded to, upwards of 500 persons being
present, and the play being of such a nature as to meet
with the warmest approval. We subjoin the score :
St. John's—First innings, 45 ; second innings, 47.
Sydenham—First innings, 38.

DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR CHAS.
JAMES NAPIER.

(From, the Times.)

That the British army has lost in Sir Charles
Napier one of its best and most distinguished
soldiers, is what none would deny and few require
to be told. To services of extraordinary severity
and duration he added a character without a mili-
tary blemish. For sixty years, and in all quarters
of the globe, he was a good officer or a successful
commander ; nor would it be easy, even in his nu-
merous campaigns, to discover an instance in which
his professional duties were either ill-discharged or
unfortunately conducted. His reputation had
commenced before the Peninsular war began, while,
so recent were his latest services, that they are
still the subject of current discussion. Through-
