CRICKET.

THE GENTLEMEN OF KENT v. THE GENTLE
MEN OF ENGLAND.

This match was renewed on Friday. The play on
Thursday brought the match to the end of the first Inn-
ings of England, who having made 108, headed Kent up
to that point by 12 runs. Kent now went in for their
second innings, and commenced operations with Mr.
W. Mynn and Mr. Whittaker. England took down two
slow bowlers, Mr. Denison overhand, and Mr. Jones
Nash, from Hertfordshire, underhand ; and it was the
desire of the manager of the game on the part of Eng-
land to ascertain which of the two deliveries would be
the better played by the Kent eleven. Accordingly, Mr.
Denison was put on to bowl with Mr. Fellows upon the
first day of the match. The latter was not successful on
this occasion, .and was, therefore, relieved by Captain
Lautour, whilst the former was released for three overs
by Mr. Nash—(it was during one of these overs that
Mr. Felix made the long hit alluded to in our previous
account)—in consequence of the severe pain he was suf-
fering from an accident received the day before. The
respective results of the bowling in this innings stood
thus :

Denison
Fellows
Lautour
Nash

48 overs

192 balls

96 rune.

It will thus be seen that there were fewer balls by nine
overs bowled by England than by Kent.
Well, on this (second) day, Mr. Nash went on as the
slow bowler, but ho evidently bowled under a feeling of
nervousness. His opponents were, nevertheless, much
puzzled with his bowling, and some of them played very
badly at it; whilst several chances were given from him,
only one of which was safely grasped, and that by Mr.
R. Grimston, who ran in some distance, and caught Mr.
Felix, from a bit straight back over the bowler. It was
a very good catch. Mr. Nash bowled two wickets, and
had one caught from him. Mr. Fellowes was today in
killing bowling. He levelled five wickets, and had one
caught from him. Mr. W. &lynn ran a long course of
success on this occasion, and was not displaced until he
had scored 24, by a five, a three, four twos, and ten
singles. Mr. Whittaker made 11,. in a three,
two twos, and four ones. This gentleman, in
turning round quickly to recover his wicket had the
misfortune to slip his knee out, but it was in a couple of
minutes pulled in again by Caldecourt and Martingell,
the umpires, with the assiritance of some of the gentle-
men who were engaged i.n the match. The knee having
been bound up with a 'ilandkerchief, Mr. Whittaker re-
sumed his batting, Mr. L. Bayley being his sub in the
running department. When the former had been bowled
by Mr. Fellows, the. latter took his wicket, but he was
soon bowled by Mr. Nasb, without having added to the
score. Mr. Felix then succeeded, but to our fancy did
not bat in hie. accustomed masterly manner. He was a
good deal bothered 'oy the underhand slow, and was
ultimately taught oft; it for nineteen runs, in which num-
ber were a three, four twos, and eight singles. Mr. A.
Mynn -was bowled by Mr Nash, when his score did not
exceed three ones, and Mr. Randolph shared the like
fate at tb e hands of Mr. Fellows. Mr. Deacon, of the
Eton F4lO yen, was the next to take the bat. lie played
very well, and was not got rid of till his score had
run up tro 16, consisting of a four, two threes, a two,
and fo ay; singles. He was succeeded by Mr. Taswell,
Mr. C.. .Harenc having already joined him. The former
was bow led by Mr. Fellows for a single, and Mr. A.
Harena who supplied the vacancy, was soon sent to
the ri glit about by the samo treatment. Mr. Frede-
ricks then went in, but ere he had obtained a run was
admirably caught by Mr. Nicholson off Mr. Denison,
:ivho had shortly before that eventrelieved Mr. Nash. The
inrunK?, amounted to 99, and thus England had to go in
,for 88 runs to win, an end they accomplished with the
los. f
three wickets only. Of the number the lion. R.
Grunsta n obtained 31 by four threes, and two, and
seventeen singles. The Hon. F. Grimston ran out
without r. single run, and was succeeded by Mr. Nichol-
son, wh,J, as is his wont, played well. Ile was caught at
the second or long stop for thirteen, in which were two
twos anal nine ones. Mr. E. Iloare was the next, and,

contrary to his usual custom, made twelve runs in singles
only. Captain Lautour joined him, and both played
away ■ oost excellently until the announcement was " pro-
midge ted" that the victory had been gained. The gallant
Car.tv,in told up ten by a four, a three, and three singles.
The final state of the score was as follows:
Kent-Ist innings, 96; 2d innings, 99.
England-Ist innings, 108; 2d inaings, 88.
England therefore won by seven wickets.
Frrox v. lanuow.—The score at the conclusion of the
pule was as follows:
Harrow-Ist innings, 27; 2d innings, 103.
Eton-Ist innings, 119; 2d innings, 12.
Eton won by nino wickets.

before us from the most intelligent actors and agricul-
turists, with whom an extensive correspondence during
a long period of years has brought us acquainted. They
all agree in this, that there was the prospect of a very
great crop of wheat; most of them atta ch importance to
the
_injury it has sustained from blight, rust, and maggot,
amd we think we may assert the aggregate of their im-
pressions to be that, even now, with ordinary weather
up to and during reaping time, we way fairly calculate
upon a full average yield of good us'aful wheat. Barley
presents a prospect of a great crap and fine quality.
Oats are thin On the ground, and the quantity sown less
than that of other grain. Beans and Peas have suffered
from fly and filth, in some phse es most seriously ; they
are to prove deficient, but not to the extent contemplated

more general ',nap. we imagined, we hope and believe it

_ {OPAL COMPLIMENT TO THE POET TENNYSON.—
' ft was but the other day that her Majesty and Prince
Albert evinced their contempt for the fashionable and
dissivated of fool; of Esher in a very marked manner, for
tht,b• deadness to the value of the society of a man of
high intellect and accomplished mind. Alfred Tenny-
son., the poet, had been sojourning at Esher in bad
heath. No one thought it worth his while to call on
him, or to solicit his acquaintance. The Queen and
Prince hearing of it, paid their respects to him without
dela.. No sooner was this known, than 'celln3.s(rn
, was inundated with cards and invitations. The
cards
' he returned, the invitations he declined .—Cork ork Consti-
