KENT V. ALL ENGLAND.—This match sirs renewed and
concluded on Wednes,tay, at Canterbury. A finer display of
scientific bowling and hitting has not been withessetlthrough-
out the season than has been exhibited during this contest,
and the result has again proved that the slow bowling is net
only not to be laughed at, but that it can and has won
another match, even when brought in opposition to the best
hitters the kinguom will allbrd.
The match terminated in favoui of England, as will be seen
by the score, by a majority of 31 runs.,

STATIONERS AND PAPER-MANUFACTURERS' PRO.
VIDENT SOCIETY.—The annual dinner of the Stationers' and
Paper-manufacturers' Provident Society took place at Love-
grove's West India Dock Tavern, on Wednesday last. The
chair was taken by Mr. E Wigeins, who was :,upported by
Mr. Dickenson. Mr. G. Yertat.b-s, Mr. Hollingsworth, Mr.
Towgood, Mr. Wilmont, Mr. Tyler, Mr. Gaussvn, Mr. Wal-
ter, and about. 90 other members of the trade. After the ustud

loyal toasts were drank, Mr. E. Co iper, the Honorary
Secretary, read a report of the proceedings of the Society
during he past year, from which it appeared that the balance
in hand last year was 4,7071., and that there had been since
received the sum of 7711. 18,. 6d., making 5,478/. 184. 6d.,
and, upon deduction of the expenses of the S,,eiety during the
year, a balance was left in favour of the Society of
3►+l. 12s 6d, making a total of 5.4401. 6s. 6d., of which
there was invested with the Commissio,,ers of the Na-
tional Debt, at interest, 5,2951. 7s. Id. The report alluded to

the benefit derived by the Society from the interest allowed by
the Commissioners, which being added each half-year, by way
of compoued interest, was rapidly increasing the funds; and
whilst the expenses of the Society were kept at their resent
moderate scale, the ultiinate attainment of the objects of the
Society was rendered a matter of eertakty. The toast of
" Prosperity to the Charity " followed the report, and was
succeeded by the " Health of the President, Sir James Wil-
liams," who was prevented by illness from attending the meet-
ing. Mr. Dickenson then proposed the '4 Health of the Chair-
man," which toast was succeeded by that of " Mr. Gaussen," and
the " other Vice-Presidents and officers of the charity." Mr.
Gaussen, in returning thanks, urged most forcibly the strong
claims of the Institution upon the trade at large, arri hoped
that, as the report was so favourable, the meeting would not
separate until they should make up the funds to 6,0001., to-
wards which he begged to contribute fifty guineas.—( Cheers.)
The liberal example thus set was followed by other contr.: u
tions, and the sum of 250!. was speedily added to the former
sum. The whole of the proceedings gave the utmost satis •
faction.
