PUBLICAI lON MIL CrIARLESKEn'S,NEW POEMS. Just published, D R EA M LAN D. With- other Poems. BY W. CIIA.RLES KENT, Barrister-at7Law. On Saturday an investigation was held at the Rose and Crown Tavern, Cambridge-street, South Hackney, by Mr. H. R. Walthew, the deputy coro: near for East Middlesex, touching the death of a lady unknown, apparently about 40 years of age. Mr. E. Hulse, 2, Park-place, coffeehouse keeper, said that a little before 10 o'clock on Monday night a gentleman rushed into his shop in a most excited state, vociferating that a female was in the water and wanted to be got out. Witness had since been informed that the gentleman was a lunatic, and had. been but recently liberated from an asylum. Wit ness went to the banks of the canal, and saw de ceased struggling in the water under the bridge, when he gave an alarm and she was brought on shore by means of the drags,. She was still alive, and did not appear to have been five minutes in the water altogether. A doctor was sent for, and she was brought to the Rose and Crown, and on the way she gave a groan and expired. She was very respectably dressed, and seemed to be about 50 years old. Witness lost sight of the gentleman above mentioned, and did not know where he could be found. A policeman said that deceased was a highly re spectable -looking person, attired in a black silk bonnet, black dress, and kid leather boots. In her pocket he found ls. 4d., and two packages of poi. son ; one package was labelled " Sugar of lead— , poison, Dudley W. Smith, Southampton-street, Camberwell," and the other " Oxalic acid—poison." Though a full description had been circulated over the metropolis no clue . had been obtained to her identification. .X.S. The-Coroner said that it wink! be mostimportant to have the gentleman spoken of by the first witness produced, so as to ascertain under what circum stances deceased came into the water. Fcap.

" The author of 'Dreamlan and Alethat' has risen to a height so very close to the summit of genius, that he may be commiserate s for Isis inability to grapple with the last peaks of its elevation. There is abundance of talent, a delicate taste, an endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and illusion : 'the landscape is most luxurious ; and the mns:c of verse excellent."—Literary Budget. "Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and. high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. ' Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture.

"The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that lie is in sympathy with hi s subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist. But it is by no means his only nierit. He is a miss - ter of versification. The flow 01' his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a Work conceived in ft noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. fhe Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections."—The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His `Aletheia' Was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen.

Of his poetic power the Monody on Lord Strangford' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music is shown in The Morris Dancei s.' "—The Press. "It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English Song, by devoting the outpourings of his Muse to their special illustration. There is not one of the many pictares here collected which is not perfect in all its parts —whether we consider ( he sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of most mellifluous verse, so that, while the mind is fully gratified, the senses—so to speak—are equally charmed." — Bentley's Miscellany.

The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased was found dying in the Regent's Canal, but by what means she came into the said canal there was no evidence to show." FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT BILSTON. We are now enabled to give further particulars of the fatal colliery accident by which seven men and boys lost their lives than we were on Saturday. It appears that four men and three boys were en gaged at the Bradley Colliery, of Messrs. G. B. Thorneycroft and Co., making a eommunication be tween the engine-pit of the colliery, and a pit in the thick coal seam. The object in view was to make a water level to draw off into the engine pit a large accumulation of water in the thick coal before de scribed, and which was at a higher level than the engine-pit. The men had proceeded in their work to within about 15 feet of the water, when it burst in upon them in great force. They were driven before it to the shaft, by which they descended a distance of about 70 yards, and shouted for the tackle to be sen t down. The butty of the pit, who had just ascended, made instant preparations to comply with their re quest, but before the skip could be got down to the point at which they raised the alarm the weight and force of the rushing water had destroyed the scaf folding which here spanned the shaft, and forced the poor fellows into the water beneath. As soon as the two pumping engines, which were at once put on in full work, had drawn off sufficient water, Harvey, the manager, descended, and, ac companied by other two men, found two of the de ceased driven by the force of the liberated water into the " inset" at the bottom of the engine pit, some 200 yards from the place where they were at work when the water broke in upon them. They were by that time quite dead. The remaining five bodies had not been recovered up to ten o'clock on Friday night. All the water, however, had been pumped out, but the debris had so far interfered with the easy moving of the working parties, that the bodies could not, it was feared, be reached be- fore Saturday morning. When the water broke in upon the dee,eased about 40 men were working some distance off in the thin mine coal. Their pit being connected with_ tbe enaine pit, the roar of water could be distinctly heard in the thin cum, ...a t ho men became greatly alarmed, but they bad the means of escape in several directions, as indeed had the deceased, if the water had not gained upon them with fatal rapidity. Even if the 40 men in question had not had the facilities for escape which they pos sessed the water in the thick coal was not sufficient to render their position hazardous. The deceased are Thomas Dunning, aged 48, mar ried (the " doggy" of the pit), and his son Isaac, aged 12 ; Charles Deakin, aged 22; Joseph Wilks, married, and having four children; Samuel Speed, 20; Frederick Cound, 15; and Wm. Schofield. The bodies recovered were those of Speed and the boy Dunning. It was not known at the colliery= Friday night whether Speed was married ; but the " doggy," in addition to his son who was killed with him, had three children. Captain Thorneycroft, who at the time of the ac cident was on the magistrate's bench at Bilstou, was at the colliery within an hour after the occurrence happened, and he remained there the greater part of the night, as did also Mr. Hartley and another member of the firm, with Mr. Baker, the Govern ment inspector, and Mr. Smallman, mining engi neer to Messrs. Thorneycroft. By the last-named two gentlemen the efforts of the working parties were directed. Much consternation naturally prevailed in and around Bilston, and the pit banks at the colliery . were crowded during most of the evening, notwith standing the heavy rain ; but the police, under Superintendent M'Crea, kept the public from im peding the operations. SUICIDE THRO UGHALLEGED CRUELTY BY A HUSBAND. An investigation was held on Friday night by Mr. G. S. Brent, at the Norfolk Arms, Barnsbury road, Islington, on the body of Mrs. Emma Kite, aged 47, wife of a tailor, of Avery-road, Grosvenor square. Several relatives of the deceased gave evidence, from whose statement it appeared she had been twice married, and that for the last two years she had threatened to commit suicide, being ac tuated thereto by her husband's cruelty. On the 22d inst., she was turned out of doors, but by the advice of her friends she was prevailed on to return home, accompanied by her son by the former marriage, and he remained with her in the house till the following morning. During the night the husband ill-used her, and kicked her on the leg. She watched her opportunity on the following morning (Friday), and left the house, with a deter mination never to return, and went to the house of her sister, by marriage, 42, Charlotte-street, in the above-mentioned locality. She seemed depressed in mind, and recurred to the cruelty she had expe rienced, and said if anything happened to her she hoped they would take her to some infirmary. The next morning (Saturday) she was seen with a tea cup in her hand, and shortly afterwards was found in her bedroom lying on the bed, with her feet on the floor, insensible. Medical assistance was called in, but life was extinct. Subsequently, a tea cup was found under the bed, which on analysis proved to have contained oxalic acid. The husband was sent for, and he said, " Oh, she has been poisoned." Mr. R. Lamb, of the Cale donian-road, made %post nzortent examination, and from the inflamed the state of the stomach and oesophagus, was convinced she had been poisoned. The contents of the stomach on analysation showed that half an ounce of oxalic acid had been adminis tered. Externally there was no bruise on the leg. The Jury regretted the facility afforded for ob taining poison, with which the deputy coroner agreed, ' and said, with the exception of arsenic , corrosive sublimate, prussic acid, in fact all other poisons were readily obtainable. Oxalic acid could be h a d i n any quantity, as it was used in articles of manufacture. before h av have no effect.eh rn, It Was thought ad v i sa ble that an adjournment should take place in order to have the husband butit i he deputy coroner said it would He did not administer the poison, and therefore his l previous conduct did not come within the province of the coroner's court. During the cons clueing the husband, Wsohmeen n uption as to the necessity of pro the dep u ty coroner said it might bring forth statement as to provocation on the wife's part it was stated that the first husband hang, himself and the second husband cut him down. The jury were agreed that the poison was self administered, and had a l ong discussion as to the state of mind of the dece ased. re turned a verdict of "Suicide by means of oxalic Ultimately they acid," and left the state of mind an open question, The Shannon, screw frigate, Capt. Wainwright, resumed ler experimental screw trials at Ports mouth, wih a screw of four blades fixed at equi distant intervals round a sphere or boss,-similar in character la the Griffiths boss, having a diameter of 18ft and apitch of 23ft 10in. The blades were cast from patterns of the blades of the Mangin screw, which wastried on the 17th of May last. The screw tried yesteeday and the Man gin had therefore the same number of blades differently disposed. The blades of tie Mangin, instead of being distributed round the circumference of the boss as in the case of the scree tried on Saturday, had one set of blades set behind leother, and thus retained the principle of a lifting screw, which the one tested on Saturday necessarily was not. It requires a less aperture or well in theship's stern than our common Admiralty screw for lifting it when putting the ship under sail. Fron the proximity of the Mangin's sets of blades:to each other, the distance being only about 30in, the water became "locked" between them when working at full speed of the engines, and caused an excessive vibration throughout the ship. The ship left the harbour at 11 a.m., drawing the same depth of water as on her last trial-20ft 3in forward, and2lft 9in aft. The weather, like that' experienced on the three preceding trials, was as favourable as it could possibly be for developing the powers of a screw. On clearing the Spit buoy the . shijamade A stretch otet to the poi ae . .as far as the Warner Light vessel to clear her fires and make all ready below for the runs at the mile. On reaching the Light vessel the ship's head was brought round and laid for the trial ground in Stokes Bay, where six runs were made. The following were the re sults :—First run—time, 5 min 4 sec ; speed, 11.481; revolutions, 53, Second run — t i me , 5 min 32 see ; speed, 10 . 843 ; revolutions , 521. Third run— time, 4 min 48 see; speed, 12'500 ; revolutions, 531. Fourth run—time, 5 min 30 sec ; speed, 10.286 ; re volutions, 54. Fifth run—time, 4 min 36 see ; speed, 13043; revolutions, 531. Sixth run—time, 5 min 54 sec ; speed, 10.169 ; revoluti ons , 53 1. The mean speed of the 6 six sun s was 11 ' 553 knots. In t c h or e n t e r r i s al cu o t f , o t n hethel6th of slay, common screw, a with its leading y, a speed of 11.288 knots was realised with a maximum of engine re volutions of 591. In the second trial, on the 17th, with the Mangin, the speed was 11.331 knots, with a maximum of engine revolutions of 531. The third trial was made with the common screw, having both leading and following corners cut, and gave a speed of 11.062 knots, and a maximum of engine re volutions of 54. The fourth trial is the present one, which, it will be seen by a reference to the figures quoted, is so far the first in point of speed. The runs being concluded, the time in which she made a complete circle, both to port and starboard, was next taken. The helm was first hove over to port, which was done to one and a-half turns of the wheel, and with the rudder at an angle of 13 deg in 29 sec. The first half and the ofufltlheeirceilreceleomwpalsemteaddeinin73mminin.la2ndse2c9. sec, The helm was next hove to starboard, with one and a-half turns of the wheel, and the same angle of rudder obtained in 43 sec. The half circle was then made in 3 min 41 sec, and the full circle in 7 min 50 sec. There was here a difference in time of 14 sec in get ting the rudder over to the same angle in going round to port and starboard, and a difference of 32 sec in making the two circles. The peculiar action of the screw observed on Saturday may have some thing to do with this difference in time, it raising a ridge of water across the ship's stern from port to starboard to a height of about 12 inches above the ship's line of copper, with, of course, a following current in the same direction over the screw. There was an almost total absence of any vibration, how ever, and a remarkably small rise of water in the screw well. The beat of the screw, which was so marked a feature of the Mangin screw, could not be detectea In uil J r ert or aotion in revolving through the water being apparently perfectly continuous and equable. The column of water discharged astern of the ship by the screw NORTH MIDDLESEX RIFLES.—On Saturday was also less spread than is usually the case, and evening there was a grand muster of the 29th, or confined nearly to a line with the ship's course.

Almost immediately after he had taken his place on the right side of the hustings, Mr. Banner Oakeley, attended by his committee, appeared on the other side. The Mayor, Mr. Peele, and several of the town officials followed, and took their places midway between the two candidates. They had hardly taken their places when a shout from the crowd below proclaimed that Mr. Atkins, the third candidate, had also arrived, his position being taken up in close proximity to Mr. Oakeley. Mr. V. R. CORBETT proposed Mr. Banner Oake ley to represent the borough in Parliament, which was seconded by Mr. A. S. CRAIG. -• Mr. CLEMENT proposed, and Mr. G. SALT se conded, Mr. Henry Robertson. , • Mr. OAKELEY then -- u dareiscil-titeutettaiVlNVith regard to the question of church rates, Mr. Robert son had not said one single word ; and if the elec tors were satisfied with him , th e y must be satisfied with his silence. (Cheers.) For his own part, he would never give his vote for the total abolition of church rates—(hear, hear, and groans)—but he would be very glad to see this much-vexed ques tion settled by some judicious compromise. Mr. Robertson came before them as a supporter of Lord Palmerston's Government ; and, he would ask them, was that Government worthy of their support ? He had nothing to say against Lord Palmerston's individual character ; but some members of his Government were the most injurious and the most ruinous politicians that now exist. (Groans, and cheers.) What had that government done ? When Lord Derby brought out a measure of reform, the whig party upset it, and they had never since brought forward a measure of their own on the great question of reform ; yet the liberals said the Con servatives were holding everything back. Carlyle had said that Conservatism was order withmlt pro gress, and that liberalism was progress without order ; but he said conservatism was progress with order, for he was a progressive man. (Laughter.) He did not want to stand still, and would admit that the laws of fifty years ago were not suited for the present time; and fifty years hence they would require some further modification. He would refer to the extravagant and lavish expenditure of the present government, and the large amount of taxa tion under which the people were labouring. He had not seen any measure brought forward by any mem ber of the liberal government to relieve the people of that load. Mr. Hubbard had brought forward a motion to equalise the income tax—the tax most oppressive to all—and had asked the Go vernment to allow a committee to be formed to consider the best means of equalising this tax, which was almost certain to be a permanent bur den, but the Government defeated the whole plan, and left the income tax still with the people. (Cheers.) Mr. ROBERTSON next came forward, and was re ceived with great cheering. With regard to the foreign policy of the country lie would say a few words. Were it not for the cotton famine occa sioned by the war in America, the country would be in a prosperous condition. (Hear.) He had ob served the conduct of the Government in this matter, and he thought that the only proper course that could bo pursued - Was *iferi , interventionl - and therefore he was prepared to support the Govern went of Lord Palmerston. But if Lord Derby were at the head of affairs, and brought forward a right down good measure, it would have his support. lie thought, from his experience as a civil engi neer and as a commercial man, he should be in a position to watch the expenditure and to know where the money goes if they gave him a seat in Parliament. He looked round this country, and he saw that there was too much to protect ever to let the country be without proper defence. There were our wives, our children, our homes, our liberties, and all that the nation possesses to be protected ; but he hoped while they looked for such protection, and the expenditure to secure it, they would see that the right man was in the right place. (Loud Cheers.) He rejoiced that the civil service in India was now thrown open for competition by the talent of the country, and he hoped that there would be very fair play in making these appointments. (Cheers.) These were his destructive principles of which he had been accused. (Cheers.) If such were radicalism, he was a radical, but if, on the other hand, to love one's country and one's Queen, to stand up for the church, but at the same time to give every man freedom—(cheers)—if that was to be conservative —if to respect the conscience of every man was to be conservative, then he was a conser- A show of hands was then taken for Mr. Oake the show being take n A a t t k iv i e n for Mr. Mr. ATKINS then came forw ard, and addressed the people amidst a continuou s roar of laughter. lie v. s, went on to state that his claims were as strong as any of the other two candidates, because ho was as long resident in t he town as Mr. Robert- Son, and was as well as he at one time connected with a railway.

THE ARMY Several hundred men selected from the depots of the East India regiments at Chatham have been ordered to be placed under canvass during the re mainder of the summer, the tents which they will occupy having been erected by a party of infantry, assisted by the Royal Engineers. The experience of the past few years has proved that the percentage of sickness among troops under canvass is less than among those occupying the barracks. The headquarters of the 55th Regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Hume, consisting of 2 field officers, 3 captains, 10 subalterns, 5 staff, 28 sergeants, 16 drummers, 24 corporals, and 462 pri vates, with 61 women and 111 children, disembarked from the Megmra screw troopship at the South Jetty of Portsmouth dockyard on Saturday, and marched into quarters in the Portsmouth garrison. The Megsera embarks to-day the remainder of the 2d battalion 18th Regiment, comprising 12 officers, 314 men, 23 women, and 32 children, and two batte ries of Royal Artillery, comprising 10 officers, 234 men, 23 women, and 32 children, for conveyance to Alderney. She returns thence to Portsmouth with the remainder of the 55th Regiment and the two batteries of relieved Artillery. Mr. G. Tyrell, of Great Yarmouth, has obtained a contract for the erection of a fort at Bembridge town, Isle of Wight. The amount of the contract is £40,000. Mr. Tyrell has just completed a re doubt at Harwich. The strength of the force now stationed at Col chester does not exceed 1,500 rank and file, and the approaching departure of draughts for India will further reduce the numbers at the camp to 1,200. A large portion of the huts are consequently now unoccupied. A draught of 50 rank and file, with four c•fficers from the depot of the Gth Regiment, left the camp on Saturday for Gosport, to reinforce the Ist battalion of the regiment, which after 15 years' service in India has been much reduced in strength.

Some doubt may well exist as to the propriety of this scheme.

Farnall, the commissioner, advised tLem to relax the latter test in favour of many of the dared an d boys who are now subjected to it. lie consi:lered that their previous employment at the factories, and the state of their hands and health generally, unfit ted them for such labour. This department is, however, mainly attended to by a guardian who re gards stonebreaking as the gretndest ordeal in the world for a pauper, and he carries it out with the utmost rigour. There is no doubt i;Jlat it finds out the lazy and the dissolute, but it is toe hard upon the delicate-boys and me n of the factory, .7nany of whose hands are blistered and irritated to ape.inful extent by the use of the hammer. Each person is required to break a ton a da y for the relief given, a task impossible to someof them, who are not used to the occupation. The strictness of this regulation 1 has led to an ingenious method of evasion, which ' has been carried on for some time. A number of the men, unwilling or unable to perform the give mea sure of work, have made a practice of cleaWing liberally on the general heap of stones alieeady broken, and appropriating a portion as their oe'e'll stock, which was duly reckoned in the day's' work and paid for. The vigilant guardian re ferred to above, suspecting the existence of this practice, set a policeman in plain clothes to watch, and on Friday two men were caught in the fact. The case is now under the coofficers n of sid th at e Union erion of the guardians. The relieving deny in the main charges brought against them by 1 1 the Relief Committee of giving orders to the work house indiscriminately, knowing t hat the place w full, with a view of ridding themselves of the tap plicants. They are prepar in g a statement of the number of tickets given. On the other hand, the visitors and secretaries of the Relief Committee (UV collecting as many of the orders as possible issued by the union officials during the last fortnight with a view of strengthening their case, and remonstrat ing with the guardians upon the impropriety of tolerating such a practice.

NATIONAL DEFENCES.—A return has just been presented to Parliament, from which it appears that the £2,000,000 loan authorised in 1860 to be raised by termin able annuities for the national defence works will all have been expended by the end of August next, if the legal in vestigation of the title to lands purchased shall then have been completed. It is stated also that the estimated cost of the works contemplated, for most of which contracts have been entered into, is £5,680,000, exclusive of ar . tillery .o z moment, but including £1,200,000 for coin?lettifi•riNib re.. which were in progress before the Act of gard to Spithead, contracts have been entereldSobir:iioNfeormwsourk,: estimated to cost £BlO,OOO at Hors?

A site for has not yet boon. purchased. central arsenal The following letter from Ragusa of the 18th of May contains sonic interesting details with respect to the insurrection in the Herzegovine : " The capture of Niksich is of great importance to the mountaineers, not on account o f t he 800 Turks made prisoners, together with their General, but on account of its strategic position. Niksich is situ ated with its back to the Montenegrin frontier, and is approached by the defile of Duga, which has twice proved so fatal to the Ottoman troops. It is at the same time a natural entrenched camp w hi c h con stantly menaces Gatzko, while at the same time it will afford the Servians a basis for their future operations. On the other hand, the loss of Niksic h has completely deranged the plans of Omar Psa? who always had in view the junction and combined action, for a time at least, of the Tu.rkish armies the Herzegovine and in the province of . Albania. The road across the Montenegrin territory from Water is plentiful Spuz to Niksich is the shortest. on the passage, and the road is less difficult than in any other part of the principality. Omar Pasha wished, as it were, to, cut Montenegro in two parts., so that another Turkish corps might take the south ern part, w hi c h is the heart of the country, in re verse. ) The loss of Niksich has completely deranged that clever plan. Continual supplies of men and money are arriving at Scutari. There are eight pashas at this moment in that town, and among them is Abdi Pasha, who a few months since fled from thence like a criminal to explain his conduct at Constantinople. The operations of the Monte negrins in Albania were intended to facilitate the landing of the volunteers, who were expected from foreign countries. It now serves to prevent Albania from being, as hitherto, a nursery of Bashi - Baz ouks. Numerous emissaries are travelling through the mountains, preaching fraternity with the slaves —d the re-establshment of the Albanian kingdom (Greco-Slave), and, as a consequence, a crusade against the Turks. If in their march towards the north the Montenegrins are not beaten by the natives they will shortly form a junction with the Servians. Omar Pasha is displaying the greatest activity. He visits the frontiers, reviews the troops, reorganises the military administration, and care- f u lly provides for the w ants of his army, whose strength is increasing eifverd reinforcementsa y.
