CRICKET.—The match between the gentlemen of
England and the gentlemen of Kent was one of the most.
astonishing in the annals of cricket. It commenced on Mon—
day at " Lord's" in the presence of one of the most distin—
guished assemblages we ever remember to have seen upon at
similar occasion. The brilliancy of the scene, too, was very
considerably enhanced by some extremely large marquee ,3
which have been erected for the fancy fair and promenolde,
which is to take place on Thursday for the benefit of, ith
shipwrecked mariners. The gentlemen of Kent went ira ft rat,
and after some very fine play, scored in the first innivlge:ll6
runs, in their second 82, making a total of 198. Of ejtese
Felix made 22 and 18 ; Mr. A. Mynn, 32 and 0 ; D'Ar. Swaaan,
24 and 4 ; Mr. W. Wynn, 4 and 17 ; Mr. Fredericks, 8 and 0 ;
Mr. E. Bayley, 1 and 19 ; Mr. C. Harenc, 9 anet 2, Sic. The
gentlemen of England scored bxt 63 in their first hands,
being thus 53 fewer than their opponents. At the com-
mencement of the match the betting, of which there was a
great deal throughout the contest, was 6 and 7to 4 in favour
of Kent ; but as soon as the wicket of Mr. Felix had been
lowered, the odds diminished to even. They, however, as-
sumed their original position as soon as Kent had terminated
their second hands; and when England had lost their first
wicket in their second innings, the betting went up. until
as much as 7 to 1 were laid with some freedom._ But

the result of the game proved how little certainty of calcula-
tion there is in the play. They began their second innings
with a majority of 135 runs staring them in the face. They
went, nevertheless, to work with great spirit; but Mr.
Craven and the Hon. R. Grimston were got down for two
and three runs respectively. Mr. Haygarth was the . first
who made any stand against the terrific bowling of Mr.. IL
Blynn and the awkward balls of Mr. Fredericka. He,-sob-
tainedl9 in excellent style. Mr. C. Taylor hit awa3, with
his usual freedom, and in a very short space of time contri-
buted 18 to the score. The match, however, was in reality
won by the steady play of Mr. Gordon, and the resolute
hitting of Mr. Kynastou, the former scoring, ebilst he scads
30 in his first, 32 (not out) in the second hands, awl the
latter 3 and 35 not out. There were 17 byes aid 12 ',Nide&
The new rule relative to " wide balls" was brought; into
operation only once during the match, and then two were
run for a wide from Mr. Fredericks. This gentleman. also
gave one other wide, whilst Mr. Mynn bowled four singles,
and Mr. Hareuc five. England thus won by six wk kets,

A RETORT.—" Are you prepared to pay me that
bill?" said the landlord of an American hotel to a guest of
his, who seemed to evince a decided and practical preference
for the 'credit system." " Certainly, I will pay was
the reply, "as soon as 1 get a remittance from the worth.
But why so uneasy? Am I not putting up with y our'
" yes," said the landlord, " you seem glad enough to put up
with me, bu iyou'll find I shan't put up with you if you don't
pay me..,

dens.—The South London Floricultural Soci,,,ty held their
first exhibition of flowers and fruits for the season yesterday
at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The, weather was re-
markably fine, the flowers were exceedingly beautiful, and
the gardens were crowded by persons who seemed to enjoy
the delightful exhibition. In the evening there was sigvsuict
fête in the gardens, which continued to be crowded up to the
conclusion of the fete. The conflagration of Old London,
which took place at dusk, was very grand, and the general
conduct of the entertainments of the evening reflected the
highest credit on Mr. Tyler, who has, by 11'..s management
hitherto, shown himself a most judicious, caterer rpr the
public.
