" 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 t at the rich and finished transcript from nature, entitled Fruetidor 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 ode 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. '—Athenaoum. " Mr. Charles Kent, 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 Dil Majores ' of thepoetle court, but assuredly he will take a very, respectable position among the lesser divinities."—Standard. "There is 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 " expressed its " edrdial admiration for the genius and the taste of Mr. Keat 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 the heart and stir the emotions to the lo west de p ths. "Mr. Charles Kent has long been known to wield a facile pen in writing poems of the class just indicated, and it is but fair to add that he takes high rank among the minor poets"—Echo. 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 its generous tone and sympathies." "He is 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. He is something more than a mere versifier ; he is a real poet, and has proved it. ' Milton at Cripplegate '—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, sad fora high and pure tone of moral feeling, we must leave to ponder over this short poem for themselves."—London Figaro. " That very graceful poem which appeared in the Times' as a welcome to Longfellow, and which, from the initials, was attributed to the author of Hypatia, was written by Mr. Charles Kent, the Editor of ' The Sun , ' and was worthy of a priest of Phoebus Apollo."—l'unch. " We find in the volume a luxuriant imagery, the fruit of a life-long study of nature. As for flowers I —Mr. Kent is as well up in them as Shakepore himself.

Now Published, A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN AOOOIINT OF THE OPENING OF THE CECITMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANOES AT MILAN, FLORENCE, NAPLES, POMPEII, AND VENICE. BY WILLIAM EVrLL. STANFORD, Charing Cross. Mee 43. " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of A Winter Journey to some.' His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, showing much sympathy with nature, and a relined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketohy, 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. Evill, 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. Evil does not add distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare one—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 31r. 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, mid 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 iS2IO 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 worksOf 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."—B , ecord. " 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 ln the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed 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 Mt. 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 authot 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 andinterior 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, and be grateful to Mr. Evil for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. " 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. Evill'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 which serve to make up the entire life of modern Rome may grieve, 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 Metropolitan Tramways, incorporated under special Acts of Parliament passed in the two last sessions, whereby they are empowered to construct and work Tramways in nearly allthe main thoroughfares on the south side, and extending to Victoria Station, Pimlico, on the north side of the Mathes. The returns from the working of the first opened seetion of the lines shew 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. Petersburgh, Vienna, Brussels, Copen hagen, &c., paying dividendi generally of not less than 10 per cent. on the Capital invested, and the shares command odd 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 Imes aro 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 Agreementlis dated the flth 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 Strdet Tramways Company, of the first part, John Foulston Runt on be half of this Company theu intended to be' formed •of the second part, and certain,Shareholders of the Pimlico, Peckham, and Greenwich Street Tramways .Company of the third part.i Application for Shares' maybe made to the Bankers.

P.d:, the largest amount yet' received for the • amalgamated charities of Birmingham. The money has becu apportioned by, the committee hie week as follows : —To the DiBPensary, Children's HosPital„.mil Eye ;Hos— Pital, 51 per cent. to the Blind 'Asylum, Deaf and Dumb Institution, lionueopathic• gospital,. Orthopaedic 'Hos. OW, ying 7 in Charity and Sanatorium, 45 per cent.,' and to the' Ear Infirmary and • Dental Dispensary, 4 per cent. • ; . An extraordinary case of child stealing was hives sated at the Manchester County Police Cofirt on Friday. From the evidence it appeared that' a .yoting married woman, named Smith, residing at Gtxten, got possession of a child, ten months old, belonging to another resident in the neighbourhoed, and that she carried it home, and 'tried to lead her friends to believe that she had given. birth' to it. On the ruse being discovered, Mrs. Smith consented to the baby being sent home. The police then took' up :the case, and the would-be mother was arrested. In defence she said she felt very lonely iu the house by herself, and took the child' because she thought it Would be company for her. She was remanded for further inquiry. TILE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BARNSLSY. more deaths have occurred yet, it is expected that in the Connie of a very. few hours that two, at least will have to be added,to the number of deaths already made knoWn. Mr. • BirkinAaw and her child (aged one year) are both in a very critical state, .the, former, having :become worse.; so that. both are likely to succumb to the injuries received. Robert Gregory, who is lying at tln Keel Inn, 'Ardsley, suffering from a very extensive laceration of the 'abdomen, has been delirious since Thurti- • day night, and no hopes are now entertained' of his recovery—indeed, his death may be expected at any . moment. - Mrs. Davy, ~Barnsley,,suffering acutely from internal. injuries and laceration of the abdomen, is now worse than she has been, and now Heti; 'in a very. Oitical state, being attended , by., Dr Wainright ; Williain Winstanloy, Ardsley, is now going on more favour ably, altluiugh it is' by no means certain that 'blood-poisoning . may not ensue. Robert Winstanley, aged 12 years, who is now at the Beckett Hospital, liarns ley, and who has 'had one thigh and a finger amputated, and the 'other leg fractured, is not much altered.. The other sufferers axe going on satisfactorily. The railway' authorities appear to have admitted their liability to give compensation to , the sufferers, and have given instructions to the local medical gentleman to do all they can for the injured persdns, as they will pay all 'the expenses. The jury, it appears, con sidered that' the company were to blame for not taking all the precautions necessary to ensure the public safety; And,' although bringing in a verdict of manslaughter against the guard Habershaw, did so for the purpose, of qaching the company, and that the time occupied coming to a decision, about two hours, was passed in trying so to frame the verdict as to censure and inculpate the company. This was openly stated by a majority of the jury after they had left the court. may find necessary with regard to the neutrality of Lux emburg. If Germany, passing from words to Aleeds, vio lates the neutrality of Luxemburg, we also shall then be free to act. According to Lord Derby's interpretation— an interpretation, it will be observed, not challenged by vote in either House, accepted by Lord Clarendon, and acquiesced in by France and Prussia—we shall, ipso facto, be relieved from the obligation of the Treaty of 1867 ; while, according to the interpretation of a section of the then Opposition, we shall be bound to aid Austria, Russia, and France in upholding the neutrality of Lux emburg, provided that all these Powers concur in calling on us to do so ; but we shall be no more bound to invite their concurrence than they will be' to Invite ours. We hold, says the Spectator, that it is our duty to de clare at once that we will not permit the violation of the Treaty of 1867 ; that France has been weakened enough by the war which her own fault brought upon her ; and that what we guaranteed, believing at the time that the guarantee would need to'be put in force, if at all as against France, we will hold to as against Prussia, who, if she wants territorial accessions besides those she demands from France, wants what it would be fatal to the peace of Europe to concede. Englishmen have hardly realized yet how high the spirit of conquest is rising in this great Teutonic people, which, by constantly repeating, and quite sincerely, that they are pacific and domestic, have got both themselves and their neighbours to believe it hi the face of the most ominous facts. But this raid upon Luxemburg is more than omi nous. If followed out by the Germans, it is a final proof of the greed of conquest and of lost modera tion. England, must take her stand sometime. She is solemnly bound to stand by Belgium. But T_ixernburg yielded, it will be very difficult to stand by Belgium, and far more difficult to get aid from France. The dismem- berment 'of France is a great evil to Europe. While Germany made no demands which France would not have made had she been conqueror, we felt the moral imp.ossi bility of supporting France. But this is a feature of an entirely new , kind. It is, we presume, meant to test the mettle and the courage of the neutrals. If they give no sign, Germany would at once, feel that she may do precisely what she pleases, in case of conquering France. ' If *e do not interfere to save a neutral territory 'we have guaranteed, though it is only coveted as a ne'w threat to France, we certainly shall not interfere to mitigate any. terms Germany may choose to impose. The crisis is one in which the neutral Powers called. upon to oppose, a fi r m ir( m it to a most cynical aggression. England, who has least to fear, ought to lead the way. T.he nonsense about German moderation should instantly cease, now that t Gerniany is 'showing that she means by moderation the most 'unscrupulous use of her victories, against the neutral Powers, no less than against her. vanquished antagonist. If we yield now, we had better at once give notice of our intention to withdraw froin European politics, and assume the same position in relation to them as that taken by the United States. The EconOmist reminds ns the present Lord Derby' was the Foreign 'Secretary who negotiated the Treaty, and who, as he said, had more anxieties about the piarantee than on any other. public 'matter on which he had ever been engaged. He said—"-It is a case of limited liability. Such a guarantee has obviously more the character of a moral sanction than of a contingent liability to make ,war:",' So that, in the jndg-ment of the-Minister above all Others responSible fOr the Treaty, it was hardly in any case to cause war, but only a solemn aii i proval of the terms of the Treaty; and an expression of ethical senti ment. In the debate in the House of Lords upon the Treaty, Lord. Granville too a'much sounder view of the agreement than those who made it. He said that poi4ibly "we may hereafter either be expesed to practical inconvenience, or to .the risk of.being considered unfaith ful to our agreements." And this is just our present case. We mast either exPOse ourselves to the practical incon ,Nentence " of a great war about a small territory in which we never had .an interest; or we must run the risk of being tailed unfaithful to our engagements, because wo do not place on an ambiguous contract the interpretation te• which is expocted.by some of the parties to it.. Never _ _ . . " I theless our . policy is :clear. The statement of Lord Le Stanley VMS 'made juht, after the Treaty was made ; they , were the pUblic construction of the compact solemnly made in Parliament ; the other parties to the' Treaty must have been cognisant of them, and they should have on the instant protested against them if they had not wished to be bound by them. We cannot give a larger scope to our duty than that which wo assigned to it at the time. But we must feel the shame natural to every one who is entangled in an ambiguous agreement, and who uses the ambiguities of it as a mode of extricating himself from serious risks and great liabilities. . , , . , THE AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVE IN ENGLAND. .Twenty years ago the Hon.
