NOW READY, CHARLES KENT'S POEMS, THE FIRST COLLECTIVE EDITION. Handsomely bound _in clotli,..l.evelled . beards, Crown Octavo, price Seven Sid • Rings and Sixpence, " As many of these compositions are already old acquaintances, we need only glance at the picturesque and appreciative de lineations of poets in their haunts, called 'Dreamland at the rich and finished transcript from nature, entitled Fructidor at the chivalrous tone of the writer's mind and its sympathy with modern ideas, as evidenced in such poems as Lamartine in February ;' at his simple and genuine pathos, of which 'Amelia' is a type ; and at his sympathy with the animated pleasures of rural life, in evidence of which we may oite The Morris Dancers.' • Aletheia 'is the longest, and, on the whole, the noblest poem in the collection. It will be recurred to not only for its beauty of description, but for its pure and elevated philosophy. The reader will note not only the atmosphere in which the chief figure moves, but also the full and appropriate details which enrich the picture. The high and varied merits of the book ought to insure its popularity."—Athenaeum. "Mr. Charles Bent, the Editor of `The Sun,' ranks very high as a poet."—Publishers' Circular. "The versatility of style, and the fresh and vigorous writing in these poems, lend a charm which we seldom find in the poetry of the day."—Examiner. "Poems' marked by grace, feeling, and strong love of nature, and a cultivated and genial spirit."—Daily News. " The poems which appear for the first time in this volume are not unworthy of the author's earlier productions;'—Daily Telegraph. "Mr. Kent may not aspire to be classed among the Dli Majores ' of the poetic court, but assuredly he will take a very respectable position among the lesser divinities."—Standard. - - `There i; much that is very beautiful in the poems before us-a collection of the thoughts, the emotions, the feelings of a whole lifetime."—Tablet. The "Rock " expresses its " cordial admiration for the genius and the taste of Mr. Kent as a poet of very considerable powers and culture," adding, "The real vigour of Mr. Kent's poetical spirit manifests itself chiefly in dealing with the feelings. He is equally at home in.pathos and in terror, and in strains that go right to tho heart and stir the emotions to the lowest depths." "Mr. Charles Kent has long been known to wield a facile pen In writing poems of the class just indicated, and it to but fair to add that he takes high rank among the minor poets."—Eoho. The "Westminster Review." while regretting it " cannot join in the chorus of praise, nor share in the enthusiasm which has been raised over Mr. Kent's poems," adds that it " cannot, how ever, part with the book without expressing a word of praise for ita generous tone and sympathies. " "Heis a true poet, and his works will live,"—News of the World. "We have the pleasant task of welcoming, as a real addition to the ranks of our true poets, Mr. Kent. Re is something more than a mere versifier; he is a real poet, and has proved it. Milton at Crippiegate '—an exquisite picture of the blind old poet discoursing sweet sounds upon the organ in solitary but resigned sadness—is a poem that ought to live. Such of our readers as care for the roll of Milton's own blank verse, for thoroughly poetic fancies, for delicate imagery, aid fora high and pure tone of moral feeling, we must leave to ponder over this short poem for themselves."—London Figaro.

As for flowers !—Mr. Kent is as well up in them as Shakspere himself.

STANFORD, Charing Cross. Price 4s. 6d " Mr. W. Evil has written a lively and agreeable account of A Winter Journey to Rome? His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, shewinU much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph. " Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr. Evil, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To gain knowledge is not the only object which induces a man or woman to take'ap a new volume •, and if Mr. Evill does not add distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare oue—of placing familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. . . . . The book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall Gazette. " Having read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any more than we could spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he has acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun. - -•- " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some times eloquent language. .. . Notwithstanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News. - - " There Imo pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and works of art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy:"—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Mr. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable him to witness the great gathering of prelates` in attendance at the opening of the (Ecumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record. - - " In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into the compass of two goodly volumes. . . . . In the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engro ssed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. "The' ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . • . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican CounciL His description of it is very graphic."—Western Morning News. " Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery described, an yd db w e gratefuleeklyNews. e to ws Mr. Evill for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . . . The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it every success, and think that many untravelled Englishmen will find something to interest them in Mr. Evil's " Winter Journey to Rome."—The Examiner. " This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is queenlike, if no longer queen, than a perusal of this unpreten tious, but instructive volume ; and the author's remarks touching that Church, the services and worship of whiqh serve to make up the entire life of modern Rome may grie'e, but will not affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent, but will not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant"— Illustrated London News.

The object of this Company is to acquire and work as one con solidated undertaking two separate Sletropolitan Tramways, incorporated under special Acts of Parliament passed in the two last sessions, whereby they are empowered to construct and work Tramways in nearly all the main thoroughfares on the south side, and extending to Victoria Station, Pimlico, on the north side of the Thames. The returns from the working of the first opened section of the lines chew a net return at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum on the capital expenditure. The only other experience of Tram working in London shows a net profit at the rate of 12 per cent. Street Tramways, although but little known in this country, have been in very profitable operation for many years in most of the large cities of America and Canada, and also on the Conti nent of Europe, in St. Petersbtugh, Vienna, Brussels, Copen hagen, &c., paying dividends generally of not less than 10 per cent. on the Capital invested, and the shares command good premiums. With the easy gradients in the Metropolis (a most important item in the economy of working), and by the judicious administration which experience has brought to bear, there can be no doubt that Tramways will prove highly profitable here. Important extensions of the existing lines are being applied for, the benefit of which will be made over to this Company. The Acts of Incorporation and the Agreement for Amalga mation and Articles of Association can be inspected at the Offices of the Solicitors to the Company. The Agreement is dated the oth day of December, 1870, and the names of the parties to it are as follows :—The Metropolitan Street Tramways Company and the Pimlico, Peckham, and Greenwich Street Tramways Company of the first part, John Foulston Bunt on be half of this Company then intended to be formed of the second part, and certain Shareholders of the Phnlico, Peckham, and Greenwich Street Tramways Company of the third part.

SEVERAL PERSONS BITTEN BY A MAD DOG.- Ou Tuesday, a mad dog was at large in the neighbourhood of Sheffield, and bit a number of persons. Amongst them was a man named Smith, a newspaper agent • the dog sprang at his throat and bit him in the face, inflicting a frightful wound. Seven other persons were attacked by the animal, and six of them were bitten. It was eventually destroyed. THE FOOT AND MOUTH DlSEASE.—Notwithstand ing the greatest precautions, the spread of the foot-and mouth disease among the cattle at the Agricultural Hall has been very rapid. Only four have been allowed to leave for the country, in _pursuance of the order issued on Tuesday, and it is probable that a great many will be slaughtered in London, to prevent their being taken to the country, and so spreading the disease. On Ar ednesday the Lord Bishop of Oxford distri buted the prizes to the successful pupils' of King Alfred's Grammar School, Wantage. The vicar of the parish and other clergy were present, and many parents and friends of the scholars. His lordship having read the report of the examiner, remarked on the very satisfactory state of the school which revealed the thoroughness, accuracy, and good style of the work done, concluding his address with a few kind and appropriate words to the boys them selves. WELSH POLITICAL EVICTIONS.—It Will be re membered that after the last general election the manner in which some of the Conservative landlords ericted their tenants for voting in the Liberal interest created great indignation throughout the Principality, and it was determined to raise a fund for the relief of those wlio had suffered pecuniarily. The movement is now ahast com plete, about £3,800 having been collected in Wales, Liver pool, Manchester, and London. Of this amount £1,936 was raised by private subscriptions, and the balance was col lected in the Nonconformist chapels of Wales and the adjoining counties. Twenty shillings in the pound has been given in all cases where satisfactory proof has been adduced of eviction for political feeling. In Cardiganshire 63 claimants have been compensated by a grant of £2,090; in Carmarthenshire, 21 claimants have received £690 ; in Carnarvonshire, £450 has been distributed among 25 applicants.

A meeting, called by theMayor,was held on Wednesday evening in the Victoria Hall, Leeds, on the subject of Army Reform. His`Worship presided, and Mr. Trevelyan, M.P., Mr. S. Beaumont, M.P., Mr. Carter, M.P., -and other gentlemen spoke in support of resolutions, declaring it absolutely necessary that there should be a re-organisation, of the army ; that, as an essential condition of an efficient scheme of reform, the sale and purchase of commissions should be extinguished ; and that the Commander-in-Chief, if the reorganisa tion of the army was to be accomplished, should be an officer of administrative ability favourable to the reform. A petition to Parliament embodying these resolutions was passed, Mr. Baines being requested to present, and Mr. Carter and Mr. Wheelhouse to sup port it. •_ _ _ _ Mr. Trevelyan, in the course of his .observations, said : I ask in what condition is our army ? You may gene rally tell in what condition any institution is by the amount of money that is spent on it, and by the result that that money produces. What is the money we spend on our army? Two years ago we spent £15,000,000 ; last year we spent £14,000,000 ; this year we spent £13,000,000 that is to say on an average we have spent over £14,000,000 a year. What do we get for these £14,000,000? The full force of the army in England is 6,000 artillery men, and 11,000 cavalry mounted upon 6,000 or 7,000 horses—riding, I presume, like the Knights of St. John, in the days when Knights were not ashamed to appear two on a horse. There are also 57,000 infantry and 8,000 men of the reserve—in all 82,000 men. You must deduct at once 10,000, who constitute the depots of the regiments, and are em ployed in drilling recruits for regiments that are quartered abroad. From the 72,000 men that remain you must deduct 10 per cent, for the ordinary consumption of casualties in warfare—that is to say, for the newly-joined recruits in the home regiments, for the sick, for the people who are told off as orderlies, as officers' servants, as clerks, and so on—leaving something like 65,000 men. Now, we have done a great deal for Ireland in the last two years, but the most sanguine Liberal who believes that the Irish Church and the Irish Land Acts were only two clauses of the same message of peace will scarcely admit that we should require less than 25,000 men to garrison Ireland, if we really had a war to the knife with any first-class maritime Power. And then if we put only 10,000 men aside for the garrisons of those great fortresses of Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Chatham, which contain material, and guns, and equipments, we reduce the number of troops we could place in the field to 40,000 men. That is to say, for twice the sum paid for the whole Prussian army we could put into the field one Prussian corps. I am aware, of course, that we spend a certain sum of money upon the Militia and the Volunteers ; but you must remember that we are talking now of the men who are ready to meet the enemy in the field, and the experience of this war has proved one thing completely, and that is that no troops are fit to meet the enemy in the field except they are men who are thoroughly well drilled, who are well equipped, and well armed, who have joined the service for a certain time in peace, who are absolutely in the hands of their officers, and whose officers are absolutely in the hands of the military authorities. Now to none of these conditions do the militia or the volunteers answer. As has been truly, and with much force, said from this plat form, the volunteer officers are not men of pro fessional knowledge. Eighteen months ago Mr. Cardwell, in moving the Army Estimates, said that the first duty of the State ought to be to make every volun teer officer efficient whatsoever his social status—that is to say, that men who were asked to command companies be cause they were popular members of Parliament, and men who were asked to command regiments because they were rich and benevolent men of business or country gentlemen should be forced to shew proofs of real military efficiency, or give up their commands. What was meant likewise was, that officers should not be allowed to go on holding commissions in the Militia, the Yeomanry teem- at Ins mtate promise has simply been that the War Office has engaged to pay these overworked Members of Parliament and men of business 50s ; a y ear if they will make themselves • efficient. An (IVerworked 'Member of Parliament would very much sooner pay that 50s. ten times over than have to go through his drill and get the amount of military knowledge which would make him a good officer. With regard to the Militia the case is different. The officers of the Militia are very much better than many people give them credit for. Their fault is —first, that there are not enough of them ; the Militia is very much under-officered ; the second fault is that they are of very unequal character. LAW AND POLICE. A BARRISTER IN THE DIVORCE COURT.—Lord Pen zance had before him the cause of Sturgeon v. Sturgeon, which was the wife's petition for a dissolution of her mar riage on the ground of her husband's cruelty and adultery. The respondent was Charles Wentworth Sturgeon, a member of the bar, and he married the petitioner, then a widow possessed of good means, in the year 1864. 'They went to Italy, where the respondent behaved, it was alleged, in a most cruel manner. He was n the habit of striking his wife, and locking her up, it was stated, because she refused to supply him with money. At Florence he made the acquaintance of a Mrs. Evans, and committed adultery with her. Subse quently he was found residing with her in London. — Lord Penzance granted a decree nisi for a dissolution of marriage. " NED WRIGHT'S " MINISTRY. —At the Southwark Police-court, Mr. G. M. Murphy, the minister of the Borough-road Congregational Chapel, and one of the un successful candidates of the Metropolitan School Board, waited on Mr. Benson for his assistance under the follow ing circumstances :—The reverend gentleman said that he had for some years worked very hard among the lower orders, and the working classes, in the vicinity of the New Cut, where some time ago a " converted burglar," calling himself Ned Wright, held meetings at a place called the Gospel Hall, in the New Cut. He had nothing to say against those gatherings, but he wished to call his wor ship's attention to advertisements in the Christian, and other religious papers, inserted by Mr. Wright, or by his orders, calling on the public for subscriptions to enable him to carry on his work in the Gospel Hall, whereas he had not used that building since September last. An article also appeared in the " Sword and Trowel," a monthly magazine, conducted by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, calling Ned Wright the Apostle of the New Cut, thereby calling on the benevolent to supply him with funds. Mr. Benson asked if Mr. Wright ever carried on religious services in the New Cut. Applicant replied in the affirmative, and his worship might recollect that he brought his hearers together by supplying them with soup, thdeby combining spiritual instructions with other matters.—Mr. Benson asked him if he thought Mr. Wright was improperly collecting sub scriptions. He should think the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon must be aware of what was going on before he allowed such an article to appear his work. On retaking over the paper placed before him he saw among other influen tial names those of Messrs. Dawson and Sons, Cannon street, City, and he was sure those gentlemen would not subscribe to funds unless they knew they were applied pro perly.—Mr. Murphy supposed they were not aware that Mr. Wright was not using the Gospel Hall or working in the New Cut. Mr. Benson observed that a question of some importance respecting the New Cut was pending in this Court regarding Sunday trading and other ctbstructions, and some good may have been done by Mr. Wright and others of his class. It may be that whatever money he received he disposed of faithfully. Mr. Murphy had no complaint to make of that, but he contended it was not applied in the New Cut according to his appeal, and he thought the public ought to know it. THROWING TEMPTATION INTO THE WAY OF ILL•PAID WORKPEOPLE.—A poor needlewoman named Sarah Work man, was brought up at the Thames Police•court, charged with illegally pawning five pairs of corduroy trousers, belonging to a man named Samuel Flewett. He prepared the materials and converted them into trousers by machinery, and the prisoner was entrusted with them to finish them. She was to receive 31d. for finishing each pair of trousers. She pawned the trousers after they were finished, some for 35., and others for 3s. Gd. each. It was elicited from Flewett that he received Bd. per pair only for making the trousers. The prisoner said she could not.live on the wretched pay she received, and being very poor raised money on the trousers. She meant to redeem them the first opportunity she got.. The magistrate fined her 205., and 15s. Gd., the sum she had raised on the five pairs of trousers, or the alternative of six weeks' im prisonment, with, hard labour. . ANOTHER RAILWAY ACCIDENT. Another railway accident is reported to have taken place yesterday on the London and North Western Railway at the Bletchley station. 4. waggon, forming part of a mineral train, ran off the line, throwing across the rails several other waggons, and thus blocking a por tion of the line. The up-passenger trains have been de layed in consequence. THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR HARROW. The inquest on the bodies of the seven persons who me their deaths in the recent accident on the London and North-Western Railway, was resumed yesterday at the Railway Hotel, Harrow, before Dr. Diplock, Coroner for West Middlesex. The Coronerasked if the jury desired any more evidence, and receiving a reply in the negative, proceeded to sum up the evidence. He said there were several points which they had inquired into that had led to nothing definite as to the cause of the accident. Of course the frequency of those unfortunate occurrences made an in quiry-of this kind a most important one, as persons were anxious to see whether anything came oitt which would lead to a prevention of similar events in the future, and it would be desirable to see whether anything was shown in the evidence to that effect. He did not think it was the duty of the coroner or the jury to recommend the adoption of any scheme or plan. Their duty was rather to see whether the rules and regulations arranged between the company and the Board of Trade had been properly carried out, and whether there had been a due carrying out of their duties by the officials. That, of course, would oblige them to look first to the system which Colonel Hutchinson said was adopted on this line, viz., the permissive block system, and com paring it witn the absolute block system, to say whether it had been fully carried out ; because if they found any undue negligence by any official of the duties de volving on him, of course he would be re sponsible for the result. It was frequently shown that a line was worked under the company's rules while, on the other hand, they say you will be responsible unless you obey the general regulations with regard to the working of the time table. That suggested the ques tion whether the two were capable of working well together, because it had been said that the trains ran so closely together that the man on duty had great difficulty in making the one work with the other. The coroner then proceeded to touch on Mr. Cawkwell's evidence as to the number of trains which ran on an average in the hour, amounting to six, and as the company's rules allowed ten minutes for the starting of one train after another there appeared a great strain on the many whose duty it was to dispatch them. Mr. Blenkinsop (solicitor to the Company), called attention to the fact that the figures chewed an interval of nineteen minutes between each train. The coroner on again looking at the figures said this was the fact. The court was then cleared, and the jury, after deliberating nearly two hours, delivered the following verdict :—" We find that James Wilson Jeffrys did die from the effects of mortal injuries received at Harrow, on the London and North-Western Railway ; that the said injuries were caused by a collision between the 5 p-m. express train from Euston and a truck train pre ceding it, with orders to shunt it at Harrow, but which was not in the siding at the time allotted, in consequence of the breaking of a coupling of one of the waggons. That the said collision was caused by neglect of danger-signals on the part of William Shelvey, the driver of the pilot-engine of the express, and that the precautions directed by the company's rules in the case of foggy weather were not complied with in this case. That the train was not protected by fog signals at Wembley at all, nbr at Harrow until it was too late to prevent collision. We think that Charles Robinson, the .;a.-1 Censure f o r_mnt fnEt IdEfnahl- We believe tnavv.--1...."-vi Lue public will not be secured until it is enacted that goods and passenger trains shall not run on the same metals, where the traffic is t-o exten sive as on the London and North-Western Railway in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. We further think that in all cases the absolute block system should bo rigidly enforced, and that the hours of work of the signalmen are excessive, and should be reduced." THE JUNIOR CARLTON CLUB. DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MEMBERS. A peculiar action was brought before Lord Romilly, Master of the Rolls, yesterday, it being instituted by Mr. Richardson-Gardner against Mr. J. C. Fremantle and the committee of the Junior Carlton Club—including Mr. Disraeli and other prominent members of the Con servative party—to declare their calling upon him to resign his position to be illegal. The circumstances under which the case arose were remarkable. The plaintiff evinced an interest in the promulgation of a movement for the estab lishment of newspapers for the dissemination of Conser vative principles in the provinces. In April last he left a number of lithographed circulars with the head porter for distribution among the members of the club with the view of making this movement known. A few days afterwards the defendant, in the absence of the head porter, obtained from the day porter eighteen of the circulars, which he addressed to the plaintiff—whom he designated in some instances "honourable," and in others " M.P.," to neither of which was he entitled—as unpaid letters. The parties were on unfriendly terms, but the plaintiff identified the hand writing as that of Mr. Fremantle. The matter was brought under the notice of the club committee, who, however, did not deem it expedient to interfere. Some time afterwards, ou Mr. Fremantle being nominated a member of the committee, Mr. Gardner renewed the matter, and said the defendant's conduct was un becoming of a gentleman and a man of honour. He was called upon to substantiate the charge, but being then at the Ascot Races, he was unable to do so immediately, and before his return to town he was called upon by the committee to resign—a proceeding the legality of which he now questioned, on the ground that the rules of the club had not been complied with.— The case is likely to last two days. It is stated that Mr. John Grant Morriss, of Aller ton Priory, near Liverpool, will be the new High Sheriff for Lancashire. Mr. Morriss is one of the most extensive colliery owners in the kingdom, and ho has been for many years a member of the Liverpool Town Council. Ho has also been Mayor of Liverpool. AGRARIAN OUTRAGE IN IRELAND.—AII agrarian outrage has been perpetrated in the village of Killucan, Westmeath. A man named Farrell has been visited in his house by an armed party of ten ar eleven men. They forced him on his knees, and told him he might prepare his coffin if he did not return some land that he had taken from an under tenant. The men discharged several shots in his house before leaving. COMING AQUATIC CONTESTS.—A 3 far as can be at present foreseen, the Cantabs have a capital chance of following up their victory of last year—the stroke, toge ther with the majority of the winning crew, being quali fied again to take their place in the boat. The coming year holds out promise of several great aquatic contests. The pair -oared match between Renforth and Kelley and Taylor and Winship is progressing favourably, and the meeting of these celebrated oarsmen will excite the liveliest interest in rowing circles. It is not improbable too that England may again send a representative crew across the Atlantic to contend for a stake of £6OO, which, tog ether with a scullers' race, for which our champion will probably enter, has been thrown open to all corners, by the Halifax Yacht Club of Nova Scotia. _ _ -......... ......... __ _._ . __ ._ The .., body of a young lady was washed ashore near the mouth of Waterford Harbour on Saturday night. It was much decomposed, and the remnant of dress left an it shewed that the wearer had been in a respectable position of life. A gold watch was found on the body, in which was engraved " Marian Beaumont, Belfast." On the left hand was a diamond ring, and suspended from the neck was a small gold locket, containing the portrait of a young man. As yet nothing hag been learned concerning the deceased, nor which affords any clue to the circumstances which have led to her death. Those who have had the good fortune to see Monsieur Gambetta will know that his countenance is disfigured by the loss of an eye. The cause of this defect is interesting, as it gives us a good idea of the deter mined character of the present Dictator 'of the French Republic. When Monsieur Gambetta was a youth he was destined by his father for the priesthood, and placed in a Jesuit seminary at Genoa. The young man, how ever, preferring the calottc to the biretta, wrote to his father asking him to remove him from the college, and to allow him to change his calling._ The father refused, the son insisted, and threatened if ms request was not com plied with to put out one of his eyes. His father, thinking this but au idle threat, remained firm, and young Gam betta absolutely put out one of his eyes, thereby pdisqualify in,, himself for the ministry of the Church of Rome, •
