KExT r. ALL ENGLAND.—This match was renewed and
concluded on Wednesday, at Canterbury. A liner display of
scientific bowling and hitting has not b:2en witnessed through-
out the season than has been exhibited during this contest,
and the result has again proved that the slow bowling is not
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 kingdom will afford.
The match terminated in favour of England, as will be seen
by the score, by a majority of 31 runs.

FOLKESTONE STEAIII_II.S.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—The insertion in The Sun of the subjoined prompt
and attentive reply, which I have received to a note complain-
ing of the anno)ance that myself and other passengers by
these steamers are exposed to from the demand of " remem-
brances" by the stewards, is, I conceive, the most natural
channel of communicating the information to others crossing
by these vesels, that the stewards are not authorized to make
any such demand. Your obedient servant,
August 6. SENEX,

" South-Eastern Railway, Superintendent's-office,
London Terminus, Aug. 5.
" Sir,—ln reply to your note addressed to Captain O'Brien,
I beg to intorm you that the stewfrds on board the steam-
packets connected with this Company are not authorized to
demand fees. I have written to Mr. Hayward, the manager
of these packets, requesting he will at once put a stop to this
practice. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant,
E. G. SHARL WOOD."

THE BRAZILIAN PIRATES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV.
believe it is not usual to try the crew of a vessel
captured for an offence against the laws for the suppression of
the slave trade for piracy. Bad Lieutenant Palmer taken the
Felicidade into Sierra Leone, would not the captain and crew
have been discharged without any trial--the vessel itself being
merely condemned and forfeited as a prize? If so, why was a
count entered in the indictment on which the Brazilian pri-
soners were tried at Exeter for the offence of piracy ?
If the offence of carrying on the slave trade be piracy, every
crew taken should be put on trial : the Crown may show
mercy on conviction, and pardon the off.•nders—the Crown
has no power to exempt from trial; conviction must first' take
place, then pardon afterwards.
If the Brazilians were legally convicted of piracy at Exeter,
then those crews who have been captured (and had their vessels
condemned at Sierra Leone), and been released without trial
for piracy, must have been illegally pardoned, as the royal
clemency cannot legally be exercised before trial and convic-
tion.-1 am, Sir, yours, &c.,
Ilfracombe, Aug. 6.

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. .Wiggins who was aupported by
Mr. Dickenson, Mr. G. Venables, ?Mr. Hollingsworth, Mr.
Towgood, Mr. Wilmont, Mr. Tyler, Mr. Gaussen, Mr. Wal-
ter, and about 90 other members of the trade. After the usual
loyal toasts were drank, Mr. John E. Cooper, the Honorary
Secretary, read a report of the proceedings of the Society
during the 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 771/. 18s. 61, making 5,4781. 18s. 6d.,
and, upon deduction of the expenses of the Society during the
year, a balance was left in favour of the Society of
381. 12s 6d, making a total of 5,440/. 6s. 6d., of which
there was invested with the Commissioners of the Na-
tional Debt, at interest, 5,295/. 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 compound interest, was rapidly increasing the funds; and
whilst the expenses of the Society were kept at their resent
modczatc =ale, the ultimate attainment of the object, of the
Soeiety was rendered a matter of certainty. 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 front attending the meet-
ing. Mr. Dickenson then proposed the " 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. ,
Gausson, in:returning thank', urged most forcibly the strong
claims of the Institution upon the trade at large, and hoped
that, as the report was so favourable, the meeting would not
separate until they should make up the funds to 6,000/., to-
wards which he begged to contribute fifty guineas.—(Cheers.)
The liberal example thus set was followed by other contribst'
tions, and the sum of 250.1. was speedily added to the former
sum. The whole of the proceedings gave the utmost satis-
faction.
