MAR YLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v. ALL
ENGLAND.
This match was opened yesterday at Lord's, and
played in the presence of a large gathering of spectators,
amongst whom were a considerable number of the aris-
tocracy. The ground was in beautiful condition. The
Marylebone Club commenced operations, Mr. Ward and
Adams taking the bat. The score of this innings
amounted to 119, the highest contribution, 39, being
made by Mr. Haygarth. The representatives of All
England then went to the wicket, and a reference to the
score will show that their combined efforts were not
very productive, inasmuch as that 43 was the amount of
their score, one double number only being shown, and
that by Sherman,—viz., 21. The Marylebone Club
then essayed upon their second innings, and it will be
found that Wisden " tucked" them up, so tor as the
innings had proceeded, when "time" was called—six
wickets at this hour had been demolished for a score of
23, Wisden having bowled two, having had two caught
from him (one by himself and the other by J. Lillywhite),
whilst Adams had his stumps scattered by Tinley, and
Grundy contrived to run out. At this stage of the pro-
ceedings the ominous word of " time" was heard to issue
from the pavilion, and play ceased for the day with the
following score :

TRANSPORTATION BILL.

A bill under this title has been laid before the House
of Lords by the Lord Chancellor, "to substitute in cer-
tain cases other punishments in lieu of transportation." I
The bill, which will take effect as an act from the Ist of
September next, contains 13 clauses. The principal pro-
visions are as follows :—Sentences of transportation will
be discontinued, except for life or for fourteen years
or upwards—that is to say, in all cases excepting those
in which, under the present law, a sentence of trans-
portation for life or for fourteen years or upwards,
would have been passed. In all other cases, which are
not punished by transportation for shorter periods, sen-
tences of " penal servitude" will be passed instead. Per-
sons who may still be sentenced to transportation for 14
years or upwards, or for life, may, instead thereof, be
sentenced to penal servitude. The following are the
terms of penal servitude which are to be awarded :
Instead of transportation for 7 years or for a term
not exceeding 7 years, penal servitude for the term of
four years.

Instead of any term of transportation exceeding seven
years and not exceeding ten years, penal servitude for
any term not less than four and not exceeding six years.
Instead of any term of transportation exceeding ten
years, and not exceeding fifteen years, penal servitude
for any term not less than six and not exceeding eight
years.
_ _

Instead of any term of transportation exceeding fif-
teen years, penal servitude for any term not less than
six and not exceeding ten years.
Instead of trasportation for the term of life, penal
servitude for the term of life.

Every person sentenced to a term of penal servitude
may be confined in any prison, port, or harbour of the
United Kingdom in which convicts are by law confined,
or in any part of her Majesty's dominions beyond the
seas, under the order of a Secretary of State, and other-
wise dealt with as persons sentenced to transportation.
In Ireland the Lord Lieutenant has the powers of a
Secretary of State.

Persons convicted of larceny after a previous convic-
tion for felony, are to be sentenced to penal servitude
for not less than four, or more than ten years, instead of
transportation.
