England on yesterday's play made a score of 266 be-
fore the whole of the -wickets went down. Barker went
out for 58 early on the day's play ; Guy made a score of
80, Hon. F. Ponsonby 26, Good 17, Sewell 19, and
Hawkins 15. Kent then commenced their second in-
nings, and in two hours bad all been caught out with
one exception, W. -Myna, who was bowled, Mr. E.
Bayley carrying out his bat, as he did in the first in-
nings. The whole score obtained amounted to 44,
which, with the 12 advantage on the first innings, gives
England 56 only to go in against.

MATCHES BETWEEN THE STUDENTS OF THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AT LORD'S.—The matches which are played
annually at Loi betu ern the young gentlemen of
Eton, Harrow, and Winchester schools, have at length
cuncluded, after six days' play, in the course of which
the main points of this tine, manly, and athletic game,
that of batting, bowling, and fielding were scientifically
illustrated by these young aspirants for clicketing fame.
We may here remark that these contests always occa-
sion much stir and It stle at Lords', and invariably excite
considerable interest of a speculative nature among the
aristocratic members of the
.Marylebone and other
fashionable Clubs, and also those noblemen and gentle-
men who join in the varied diversions at this renowned
sporting establishment, doubtless in consequence of most
of then, having been prepared for the Universities at
these celebrated public schools, and also from their
having played when students in these matches. The
Wykehainitos, last , season, proved themselves the best
players, beatipg the Etonians and }larrowians, the
Etonians coming off sccOnd best, by defeating the lfar-
ruwians, but this year the result has been very different,
the Earrowions havin;• achieved a great triumph, by
winning both these matches with the Wykehamitcs and
Etonians, the former also being defeated by the latter.
The play, in consequence of the unpropitious state of

the i'ver.ther at the- commencement of the games, has
been somewhat protracted, the matches seldom occupy-
ing more than tour days. The students of the three
schools have this year good reason to be proud of their
representatives, each eleven including some first-rate
players, while others are most promising cricketers ;
and the ht.provement in their play since the last time
they appeared at Lord's, is very apparent, particularly
the Harrowians, who, on this occasion, had to contend
with opponents much their superior in. point of height,
weight, and physical power.. The Etonians and Wyke-
hamites wire well matched.

The first game played was between the Wykehamites
and Harrowians. The latter went in first, and scored
69, out of which the Hon. C. Agar (c.' by Mr. G.
Bright) marked 13, with a- four, two -twos, and five
ones ; Mr. J. Marshall (c. by Mr. P. Williams) 13, with
a five, a four, a two, and two single runs ; Mr. A. Hay-
garth (c. by Mr. Williams) 9 ; and Mr. IL Gathorne
(nut out) 5. Byes, 10 ; wide balls, 7.
The Wykehamites, in their first innings, made 126 ;
Mr. Williams (not out), 28, with two fours, three threes,
two twos, and seven single hits ; Mr. 0. W. Holloway
(c. by the lion. C. Agar), 24, with a five, a four, a three,
two twos, and eight ones ; Mr. V. C. Smith (c. by Mr.
W. Nicholson), 21, with a four, five, three, a two, and
three single runs ; Mr. J. Freeling (run out), 13, with a
four, a three, a two, :.nd four ones ; Mr. H. Ray (c. by
Mr. Nicholson), also scored 13 ; the,
.Hon. C. 8., Lyon
(b. by Mr. Gathorne) 4 ; and Mr. W. G. Tupper (b. by
the Hon. Agar), 4. Byes, 8 ; wide balls, 2.
The Harrowians in their second innings scored' 152.
Mr. Nicholson (b. by Mr. Williams), 52; with four fours,
four threes, two twos, and the remainder by sing runs ;
the Hoh. H. Agar (b. by Mr. Tupper), 26, lift two
threes, three twos, and fourteen ones ; Sir. Haygarth
(b. by Mr. Gay thorne), 12, with a three, a two and seven
ones. Byes 12 ; wide balls, 16.
The Wykehamites, in their second innings, obtained
€B. Mr. Bay (run out) 15; Mr. W. F. Wickham (b. by
Mr. Gathorne), 12; the lion. C. B. Lyon (c. by the
Hon. C. B. Agar), 8 ; and Mr. G. Bright (b. by Ir.
Agar), 7. In this innings there was only one bye and
two wide balls. The Harrowians thus won the match
by 28 runs. In the course of this game some very beau-
tiful and scientific play vas exhibed. Of the Harrowians,
who particularly- distinguished themselves, may be
mentioned Mr. Gaythorne, whose bowling was of the
first order. lie lowered, in the two innings, seven
wickets. Mr. Nicholson, the. Hon. H. Agar, the Hon.
C. Agar, Mr. Haygarth, and Sir. Marshall, very
efl'ectively. Of the Wykehamites the bowling of Messrs.
Wickham and Williams was much admired, also the bat-
ting of the latter and Sir. Smith (a substitute), Mr. Hol-
loway, and Mr. Ray. Both elevens fielded uncommonly
well.

The next match was between the Etonians and liarroWlans, the latter obtaining in their first innings 141.
Mr. W. A. Comnatmll (run out) 33, with a four, three
threes, a two, and eighteen single runs. The Hon. C.
Agar (run out), 16, with two fours, a. three, and five ones.
Mr. Ilaygarth (b.:,by Mr. T. Maroon), 14, with a four, a
three, and eight ones. Byes, 38; wide balls,

The Etonians in their second innings got 118. Mr.
Marcon (not out), 155, with a six, a five, a four, eight

(c. by Mr. Conmerell), 11 ; and Mr. Marriatt (c. by Mr.
Nicholson), 11. Byes, 7 ; wide balls, 19. There was
some fine play exhibited uring this match ; that of Mr.
Nicholson and Mr. Commerell (Harrowians), and Mr.
Alarcon. Mr. Randolph, and Mr. Fellowes (Etonians),
being frequently applauded by the spectators. The bowl-
ing of Mr. Marcon and Mr. Fellowcs did great execu-
tion. The Harrowians won the match by five runs.
The concluding match between the Wykehamites and
Etonians was well contested throughout. The Wyke-
hamites went in first, and marked 106 ; Mr. Freeling
(b. by Mr. Fellowes), 36. The Hon. C. B. Lyon (run

to the qualification of voters. He thought the coin-
hining together of the aristocratic and the democratic.
principle was fraught with danger. There had been
too much of the democratic principle infused into the
colonies of the empire. lie-would give the Bill his
cordial support. . -
Mr. V. SMITH would. not follow the Gallant
Officer who had just sat clown through the details he
had gone into. He would apply himself to the ques-
tion raised by the Hon. and Learned Member 'for

•,
edits. They had to consider how they 'were to pro-
i.t.ed on this subject, and he could not agree with the
Hon. Member for Liskeard when he said the colony
ought to be allowed •:o blunder out of its difficulties as
it had blundered into them: There were not five
Members in the House who could say what the evils
of the colonies were. At this period of the session
the Noble Lord had placed them in considerable em-
barrassment, by the manner in which he had hi-Ought
the subject forward. If there were faults in the con-
stitution of Newfoundland, the late Government
Could not be charged With them, as the President of
the Board of Trade (the Earl of Ripon) had intro-
duced the measure which supported the present sys-
tem. He (Mr, Smith) did not think it would be for
the benefit. of the colony to delay the Bill.
With regard to the qualification for ,voters, if the
Noble Lord attended to the first suggestions of Sir J.
Harvey,' he would improve the qualification of voters,
by adopting the test of residence, but he disregarded
those suggestions. He hoped that the Bill would be
limited to four or five years, and would not be made
permanent. If the Noble Lord made the concession
of limiting the Bill to four or five years, he would
not oppose the union of both Houses, though he did
not exactly understand why the Noble Lord adopted
the proportion of numbers which he did. The other
principal parts of the Bill were the initiative .of
money votes to the Crown, which he decidedly ap-
proved of; it was highly necessary to the government
of the colonies If this was carried out, the passage
of the Bill would be a benefit. He approved of the sus-
pension of the writs, and stated that though his Noble
Friend (Lord J. Russell) might not have brought 'for-
ward this identical measure, yet it was quite true
that he meant to propoSe a new constitution for New-
foundland. lie thought there
.could hardly be a more
favourable opportunity of discussing the question ; he
should, therefore, oppose the motion for postponing the
committing of the Bill, though, on going into Com-
mittee, he should be prepared to propose certain
amendments.
Mr. P. HOWARD hoped the course of legislation
hitherto pursued, would not be continued with regard
to a distant and unprotected colony. In his instruc-
tions to the Governor of Newfoundland, Lord
Ripon stated that he foresaw that some difficulties
might arise in the working of the new constitution,
and urged the Governor to act with caution, and to
shew his goodwill to the Assembly, and his desire to I
co-operate with them. He trusted the House would
not withdraw from the colony the privileges con-
ferred on it by his late Majesty,'without the consent
of the colonists. The Assembly had greatly im-
proved the colony by -the opening of new roads,
and the election of lighthouses on the coast. If the
violence at elections - was a sufficient reason for de ,
stroying a constitution, he would refer_ them to the
disturbances which took place in this country at the
time of an election. The Noble Lord opposite had
said that in New South Wales provisions similar to
those which were contained in this Bill had been re-
ceived with favour. He conceived that there was no
analogy between the ease of the .two colonies. In
New South Wales the wages of the labouring class
-of the population were exceedingly high, whilst in
Newfoundland they were exceedingly low. He could
not conceive that any danger could arise from con-
ferring upon the people of Newfoundland a large
share of political privileges. It had been stated by
Napoleon that the colonies were. the wings of this
country, which had• enabled
.ber to soar to greatness.
Should they, then, pursue a course which would
tend to alienate one of those important wings ?
(Hear, hear.) He trusted that the liberal in-
tentions of the' Crown in 1832 would not
now be set at naught. A uniform franchise of
40s. was then- established, and he thought it would
be exceedingly difficult to draw a distinction between
that franchise and the .51. franchase. He had heard
no reasons which justified this infringement upon the
liberties of the colony; buts sure he was, that the House
would not do justice to the colony by passing. this
Bill, until they had first heard the representations of
those colonists who .were opposed to it.
Lord STANLEY said _if he understood the pro-
posal
of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, he was
prepared to accede to • the qualification, to the miscel-
laneous election, and to the union of the assembly
and the council. With respect to the latter
proposal, he did not propose that the separa-
tion should be permanent. The Right Hon.
Gentleman wished that the Bill should remain in
force for a period of five years, and that the provision
with respect to the qualification should he limited to
two years. Ile (Lord. Stanley) did not consider the
alteration in the franchise essential to the workisy of
the Bill, and he would not object to expunge that:
clause with the exception of the provision for two
years' residence previous to the election.—(Hear.) •
Mr. LABOUCHERE thought it would be im-
pOssible for the HOUse to deal with the franchise, not
only without any evidence, but in direct opposition
to the opinion of the Governor-General. lie was
glad to hear the assurance of the Noble Lord that the
Bill was intended to be merely a temporary measure
to meet a temporary state of things. He thought
that was a very important announcement ; it tended
greatly to alter the character of the Bill. With this
announcement as to the beneficial nature of the
measure, he would not feel justified in opposing it;
at the same time, it. must be distinctly understood
that the whole responsibility rested upon the Govern-
ment which introduced the Bill. He could not but
regret that no opportunity had been affOrded to the
colonists of being heard at the bar upon the subject ;
such a circumstance was almost unparalleled.—(Hear.)
He would not say that his objections to the Bill
were entirely removed, but he did not think that,
under all the circumstances, the House would do
right in rejecting the Bill.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said that his Noble Friend
was not responsible for the delay which had
taken place, as the measure had been delayed
at his (Sir Robert Peel's) urgent request, to give
ray to the commercial measures which had occupied
the attention of the House. He hoped that, after that
explanation, the House would allow the Bill to be re-
ported,

Mr. wys;:: contended that time was necessary to
consider the Bill, ,and it ought not •to be hurried
through Parliament witL'ut giving the cblonists, who
consisted of Englishmen ma Irishmen, an opportu-
nity -of considering its details. L. would • never, as
long as he held a seat in that House, consent to the

On the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair,
Mr. O'CONNELL rose and complained of the
manner in which the Bill was sought to be carried
through the House at that late period of the session.
He thought that they were acting most unjustly to-
wards the people of Newfoundland. The Noble
Lord opposite knew . very little more than
the Noble Lord the Member for London. All
that the people of Newfoundland wished for was in-
quiry; .they petitioned the House for inquiry, and
notwithstanding that they were about to legislate
upon mere allegations. It was a powerful fact that
the people of Newfoundland did not shrink from in-
quiry.—(llear, hear.) The representations which
had oeen forwarded to the Government from New-
foundland were not founded in fact, and all that the
people revired was to be allowed to meet those re-
presentations. It was not English justice if they
refused to hear what the people of Newfoundland

made against the Ctnch9lie priests were entirely
false
and founded on bigotry and dislike. No Cathohc
priest dare to refuse the rites of religion for any
political offence. The Noble Lord had charged him
with introducing the question of religion, but he was
not the first to dj so. It was first introduced in the
Government dispatch.—(Heari hear.) The first Par-

I hoped that such a violation of the rights of Britl'd

what could be expected from them but disconted
