reached 82 , Galpin making 18 , Rev . J . G . Crowdy 18 , and Mr . R . Henley 14 . For Kent , the one innings realised 333 , to which Mr . Shaw contributed 54 , Mr . W . Fenn 16 , Mr . F . A . Mackinnon 66 , Lord Harris 75 , Mr . F . Peon 47 , Remnant 25 , and Mr . Foord-Kelcey 18 . In the North v . South Match
played at Tunbridge Wells , there being a large attendance of spectators , the latter were beaten in a single innings ; score , North 17 G , South 56 ancl 62 , Mr . W . G . Grace making only 0 and 19 , while his brother , Mr . G . F . Grace ,
( 0 and 6 ) hardly gave any sign . Surrey beat Middlesex in the return match , by ten wickets , Middlesex 118 and 202 , Surrey 293 ( including W . W . Read 98 ) and 28 , of which the same gentlemen made 22—without the loss of a wicket . In the return between Gloucestershire and Surrev
the former were victorious by 40 , Dr . E . M . Grace , with 05 and 71 , being tho most successful for Gloucestershire . Other matches are in course of progress , of which next week , hut we may add that perhaps the longest score ever made , has been recentlv amassed by the
Royal Engineers , at Chatham , in their match with I Zingari . The former remained at the wickets during the whole of last Friday and Saturday , and made 724 for eight wickets , the Hon . M . G . Talbot , Mr . F . K . Scott , and Mr . P . G . Von Donop contributing 172 , 164 , and 101 respectively ,
while three others were responsible for scores of over 50 a piece . We feel glad we were not of I Zingari team . Leather-hunting is not the liveliest occupation to follow in hot weather for two whole consecutive days . Sport on the moors is in many places satisfactory , and some very
respectable bags have been made . Next week sportsmen will have their opportunities increased in number , aud not a few partridges and hares will find their way into the market . There only remain the long tails , and then the tale of birds for the Winkles and the Tupmans of London Society to blaze at is , we suppose , complete .
As a squadron of three United States War Steamers , under the command of Rear Admiral Warden , has been lying for some time in the Southampton Waters , the opportunity has been taken of extending to them that hospitality which is readily accorded to our vessels in American waters .
Two banquets have accordingly been given , the second by the Mayor and Corporation of Southampton . The Mayor presided , and was supported on his right by Admiral Warden , and on his left by Captain Franklin , of the " Franklin , " there being present also Commander Green ,
of the "Alaska , " most of the Officers of the squadron , together with Mr . W . F . Cowpcr Temple , M . P ., and the Mayors of Portsmouth , Winchester , Romsey , Andover , ancl Lyniington , Commodore Commercll , and several naval aud military Officers . Everything passed off mostagreeably , the toast of "Rear Admiral Warden and our other American
guests being received with groat enthusiasm , and acknowledged by the gallant Officer in the warmest terms . Such banquets as these are of the greatest use in promoting good feeling between ourselves and other countries . The news from abroad is not of the most satisfactory
character , very far from being so , indeed . As regards Spain , the Alphonsist forces seem to be making considerable progress against the Carlists . The siege of Seo de Urgel , or rather of its citadel , is rapidly drawing to an end , the Carlist , Lizarraga , only holding out , it is reported , because
he is bound in honour to fight to the last . Unless , then , the Carlists can make any impression on the besieging army , the capture of the place must be imminent . Elsewhere , too , we hear of Dorregarny being in a very deplorable condition , and doing his utmosr to uvok' pursuit by the
numerous columns of Alpbonsi . v- -V ~ h nre hunting him tip . So far the foreign news is decidedly satisfactory , for if Alphonso ' s armies can make a serious impression on Carlism it will be a great boon to Spain , which has been in a wretched state for the last few years . But will the defeat
of Carlism in the field effectually put clown Carlism , especially in the Basque provinces , which are , heart and soul , devoted to the cause ? Time will show . From the Herzegovina the news is decidedl y bad . Turkey , if left alone , would probably make short work of the insurgents . True
the difficulty of getting at them seems very great , but a disciplined force of a few thousands would soon disperse the various bands of marauders , whose object seems to be pillage and incendiarism rather than fair fighting .
Unfortunately , however , there is very considerable excitement in Servia , ancl there are disturbances in Bosnia as well . The Montenegrins , too , are having a finger in the quarrel , so far , at least , as that numbers of volunteers are constantl y arriving from Montenegro , and these swell the bands , the

latest news of which is that they are committing all sorts of atrocities . Worse still—or better , some may thinkthe three great Eastern powers appear to think it necessary to intervene , and the irrepressible Eastern question is again cropping up , to the great risk of disturbing the
peace of Europe . We do hope that the great powers will unite for the purpose of repressing these constant outbreaks against Turkish rule . Turkey invariably behaves well , and suffers not a little for her good behaviour . There is little from Paris to record , save that Mr . Gladstone ' s
pamphlet about the Vatican Decrees is the cause of no little excitement throughout the country . From Germany we hear that the Emperor William was present , on Wednesday , at the festival of the delegates of the Gustavus Adolphus Association , and the speech he made
was received with loud cheers . The Imperial Prince was present at the grand dinner given at Cologne , in connection with the opening of the Horticultural Exhibition . The Chief Burgomaster proposed His Imperial Highness ' s health , which was graciously acknowledged . Two other
items of news and we have done . The severity of the training in the German army has resulted at the recent Autumn Manoeuvres in a serious breakdown , it being reported that a great number of men have given way to the strain imposed upon them by the hard service exacted .
In some regiments the number of disabled is said to equal that in many a well-contested field of battle . It is , as the Standard very properly urges , unwise to keep men at the highest possible training point . The German military
authorities should bear in mind a rule observed among English athletes , not to overtrain . From China it is reported that our ambassador has been assaulted by the authorities . If so , we are in for a scrimmage .
