THE METAMORPHOSES OF PUBLIUS OVIDIUS NASO. Translated in English Blank Verse. In anticipating a brilliant year in musical matters, the Athenucent points to the opening of the Royal Albert Hall as an event of great musical importance, and adds :--- Upon the prosperity of this undertaking the fate of the pro posed National Training School for Music will depend. The Musical Committee of the Society of Arts are taking steps to deserve success, if not to secure it. They have decided to give six concerts—two in the month of April and four in July—on the same scale of grandeur as that which has rendered the Birmingham Musical Festival one of such fame. Sir Michael Costa has been authorised to organise a band of 100 performers, for the execution of the sym phonies, overtures, &c. The vocal talent will also be of the first elass. In the month of May the Sacred Harmonic Society will co-operate with the managers of the Royal Albert Hallin performing four oratorios, under Sir Michael Costa's direc tion. The inauguration of the hall on the 29th of March by her Majesty will be signalised by a musical programme including the production of anew cantata composed for the ceremonial by Sir Michael Costa, the words by Mr. John Oxenford.

Handsomely bound in cloth, bevelled boards, Crown Octavo, price Seven Shillings 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 cite 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 Kent, the Editor of The Sun,' ranks very high as a poet."—Publishers' Circular.

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, and 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 Phcebus Apollo."--Punch. " We find in the volume a luxuriant imagery, the fruit of a life-long study of nature. As for flowers !—Mr. Kent is as well up in them as Shakspere himself.

" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable."—gaily Telegraph. " It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all kimilar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to colleclors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work.on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste folly got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a. very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render themlife-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers.

Saturday was the day fixed for the public examination in the case of The O'Donoghue, M.P., before the Hon. W. C. Spring Rice, at the Bankruptcy Court, Lincoln's Inn, on which occasion the Trustee or estate were repre sented by counsel and the bankrupt himself by attorney. It will be remembered that the examination was adjourned tc the present time for the purpose of facilitating the com pletion of an arrangement with creditors, none of whom were desirous of placing undue pressure upon the bank rupt. It was now stated that during the interval, a meet ing of the creditors had taken place, but that no definite result had been arrived at ; and under these circumstances a further postponement was asked for, so that the credi tor's might again have an opportunity of consulting to gether on the question. There being no opposition, the Hon. W. Spring Rice granted an adjournment for two months. A NEW APPLICATION OF PHOTOGRAPHY. A new grievance, says the Pall Mall Gazette, has arisen which maybe turned to valuable account by experts in the science of the rights of man. At the last meeting of the Middlesex magistrates a discussion took place as to Whether photographic likenesses might to be taken of per sons committed to the House of Detention at Clerken well for further examination or for trial, who were suspected of having been previously con: victed, and respecting whose antecedents informa tion was sought. The Chief Commissioner of Police, it was stated, had requested that likenesses might be taken of all such persons ; but the visiting justices ex pressed their doubts as to their power to compel uncon victed persons to submit to such a process, and they had informed Colonel Henderson that they were willing to comply with his application on the understanding that no compulsion of any kind should be used towards a prisoner in procuring a photograph. It was urged on constitutional grounds that an untried person ought not to be compelled to have his likeness taken against his will. On the other hand, it was stated that obtaining the likenesses of suspeCted persons would tend greatly Co further the ends of justice, as it might be the means of previously convicted persons being recognised by the police-officers who did not see them in person while awaiting their trial. The further consideration of the subject was postponed for the present. but with every respect for constitutional liberty, it is to be hoped that the Middlesex magistrates will, if necessary, allow the British Constitution to be slightly stretched in the case of sus pected prisoners in the interests of law and justice. Photography by force is a very mild form of tyranny. Cartes de visite of the highest dignitaries in the realm are daily exhibited in the shop windows without the permis sion of the eminent but unfortunate men whose personal defects or attractions, as the case may be, are thus subjected to public criticism. Photography is nut painful if properly applied, except in cases of extreme ugliness, where the friends of the photographed often suffer intensely ; and if we allow visits to he paid by the police to suspected pri soners for the purpose of identification, we surely need not be squeamish as to permitting their cartes de visite to cir culate freely among the members of the police force. The Middlesex magistrates may perhaps remember in their schooldays the following remark by a Latin poet— Quis, solein dicere falsum Audeat ? LAW AND POLICE. SHARE THANSACTIONS.—In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Saturday, the case of " Carden v. Smith" was brought before the judges. It was an action brought by Alderman Sir Robert Carden against the defen dant, who was a solicitor in the Strand, to re cover the sum of £lOO. It was tried before the Lord Chief Justice at Guildhall, when the plaintiff was nonsuited, with leave to move to set it aside and enter the verdict for him for £lOO. The defendant was the solicitor to the London and General Water Purifying Company (Limited) and in 1864 the directors being desirous of having Sir Robert's name on their prospectus as their broker, the de fendant called on him and it was arranged that he should receive £5OO for the use of his name on the allotment of shares and the commencemeht of business, and that 2s. 6d. per share should be paid commission to his provincial agents for all shares placed by them. The application for shares by the public was not to the extent expected,' and at the end of October, 1864, a fresh arrangement was come to, whereby, instead of the plain tiff being paid £5OO, he was to receive £lOO commission for every 1,000 shares " placed " for the use of his name. Only 600 odd shares had been taken by the public, and the question was whether paid-up shares taken by the patentee for the purchase of his patent, and by the promoters and others in payment of their charges and expenses, was such a " placing " of the shares as entitled the plaintiff to his commission.—Mr. Manisty, Q.C„ moved for a rule nisi on the leave reserved.—Rule granted. A DRAPER'S WILL.—The Judge of the Probate Court has for two days been occupied with a case in which a Suffolk village draper accumulated some £20,000, and £260 per annum, over which several relatives are quarrel. ling. A doctor considered that the day the will was made the testator was of sound mind, whilst another physician was quite of contrary opinion. The.plaintiff, a Mr. Gold smith, prevaricated so often that the learned judge more than once threatened to commit him for perjury. The case is adjourned. WHAT IS A STAGE PLAY ?—At the Marlborough-street Police-court on Saturday, Mr. Strange, proprietor of the Alhambra, was summoned for permitting stage plays to be represented at his place of entertainment without a license. Mr. Moreton, one of the managers of the Royalty Theatre , proved going to the Alhambra on the 28th of December, and again in January, when he saw a piece performed, called "Superba." The principal characters were Miss Susannah Cole as Superba, her lover, Mr. Lascelles as Me phistophiles, spirits of life and mercy, and a number of shep herdesses. There were tableaux, songs, duets, and choruses. with the usual amount of love-making and scenic inci dents, as well as a more gorgeous transformation scene than he had ever before witnessed, "Superba" was to all intents and purposes a stage play, such as would be acted at Covent Garden or any other theatre. There was no dancing. 'Mr. Weston, a comedian, gave similar evidence. "Superba," was a stage play. —Mr. Poland, for Mr. Strange, submitted that the piece in question was totally different from a stage play, and was merely a musieal entertain ment. He contended that this would be lawful according to 25, George 11., notwithstanding there were some thea trical accessories, inasmuch as there wasno continuous plot Mr. Knox said, although the Act under which the infor mation was laid' was thirty years old, he must decide that the performance in question came under the Stage Play Act ; but, believing there was no intention on the part of Mr. Strange to break the law, he would only inflict the full penalty, £2O, in one case, leaving the other eleven summonses to stand over, so that the y might be with drawn. CHARGE OF BlGAMY.—Captain Edward John Army. tage was examined at Marylebone Police Court on a ' charge of bigamy. The evidence shewed that the defen dant was formerly a captain in the 39th Regiment of Foot, and that in the year 1861 he was married to Miss Jane Flossmau. Last year the defendant became acquainted with Miss Sheldrake, and having proposed marriage, was accepted, and they ' were married by Mr. Price, the deputy-registrar of St. Pancras, at Ampthill-square, Hampstead-road, on the 9th of October last. This marriage was discovered by the friends of the first wife. Mr. Mansfield committed the defendant for trial; but consented to take bail—one surety in the sum of £lOO, and the defendant himself in the sum of £5OO. The bail was at once put in, and the defendant left the court. IMPROPER REMOVAL OF k SMALLPDX PATIENT.—On Friday, at the Manchester Police-court, John Townley. was summoned, at the instance of the Chorlton Board of Guardian's, for having on the 26th December exposed his domestic servant, a young girl nained•Georgina Kean, in a cab, while she was suffering from smallpox, without taking proper precautions 'against the spread of that infectious disease. The cabman was not made aware of what was wrong with his passenger, but was ordered to drive her from the defendant's house, at Summer-place, Stretford-road, to her aunt's house .' in V . o prepa ration had there been • made .for her reception, the.aunt not-expecting her niece,, not knowing that she had small pox, and riot having any spare acconainoilation. No bed . ' being available, the girl had to'• sit up all* nigh tbe.eide a fire, and wassnext..,forenoon conveyed to the.-,workhouse at I Withington.—The defendant said .the girl' had been.y.e-, mo'Ved with her own consent, and after hiving been seen by her mother, who' lived with her aunt. He had been ignorant of the Act under which he was now summoned, -and he had also been wrongly advised by his medical man, else he ‘iVotild certainly have taken differeirt. steps. He was fined a Mr. Edward Baines, M.P., said that often as he had met the people of Leeds he thought he never appeared before his constituents at an era so important. Last session was certainly the most laborious that he had ever known, and productive. of the greatest and most important measures recorded in the statute book. In England the time had been employed in sowing the seeds of the universal education of the people, and with regard to Ireland they had sought to remove established grievances, and promote confidence and concord. But whilst so engaged in these duties at home and in Ireland, abroad there had burst upon Europe, to use a familiar phrase, " like a thunderbolt on a sum mer's day," the conflagration of war, which had spread with such rapidity and fierceness that in England it was necessary to have a pretty strong resolution of our own to prevent the flames reaching our shore. Having alluded to the _measures passed last session, the hon. member said he believed the Irish Church and Land Bills the best enactments that had ever received the sanction of Parliament, and that they had laid a foundation upon which, although they could not see built a fabric complete in an hour, they would yet witness the removal of the worst evils of Ireland, and the ultimate establishment of peace and concord in that country. The unjust anomaly of a Protestant Church Establishment in , a Roman Catholic country had been removed , w ithout doing any injury whatever to the Protestant Church, or, on the other hand, exhibiting favour to the Roman Catholics. Wishful to speak with authority upon the subject, he had written to a very eminent friend in Ireland, possessing the most perfect and reliable informa tion, of great impartiality in the position he occupied, and not a member of the Government. He asked him how each of the Acts were working in Ireland, and he would read two or three sentences from the replyhe had received. The writer said : " You may state to your constituents that the Church and Land Bills are working well. The administration of the Church commission has been so far a decided success. All the Church people admit that the Act had been administered with liberality and just consideration of all fair claims. The organisation of the Church has been completed; the laity take an interest in it such as they never did before, and I have no doubt that, ulti mately, its financial condition will be very satisfactory. There will be no more large prizes, but there will be no idle men, and the working curates are now, and will be, better paid than they ever were." The same gentleman whose words he had quoted in reference to the working of the Irish Church Bill had furnished him with his opinion in regard to the land qUeAieri - . He - ,Vvrote " The cases upon the Land Bill are now being tried in the county courts, and will come on, on appeal, before the judges on the spring circuit. It appears to work most satisfactorily. Sir John Gray, member of Parliament for Kilkenny, who used to condemn and depreciate the Act, now says that it secures from £70,000,000 to £80,000,000 of money to the tenant farmers." The writer went on to say that still there was a vast amount of disaffection, although the number of well affected was on the increase. He added, "And I believe if we had a firm and authoritative declaration from English statesmen that they would never listen to schemes of new government, or repeal, it would check that wretched agitation which is now the last rag." Ireland must be won by good government, by tenderness, by justice, by kindness, by gentleness, and by giving her every equality with the people of the United Kingdom, and if she had this, it was not possible in human nature that the agi tation, dissatisfaction—exasperation, he might say— which had existed in Ireland, and stirred up. the Fenian outbreak, could continue. He was very glad that Mr. Gladstone had crowned the acts of the Irish Church and land with the release of the Fenian convicts, because thereby, as he said, he appealed to the good feeling of the people of Ireland, and would govern the country with rectitude and with kind ness or not at all. (Applause.) Speaking of the Educa tion Act, he said that he thought it the best measure that could have been passed under the circumstances. He believed that it would attain the great end of making an enlightened and virtuous people. He was in favour of army reform, and if the Duke of Cambridge was shewn to be inefficient, he should vote for his removal. He trusted that Government would use all friendly means of bringing the war on the Continent to a close, but should on no account suffer the country to be drawn into it. As to the Black Sea Treaty, whilst condeming the action of Russia, he trusted that an arrangement would be come to which would secure the honour and safety of all concerned. He also referred to the Alabama claims, and expressed hope that on the arrival of General Schenck the matter might be discussed in a friendly spirit, and a settlement arrived at. Alderman Carter next addressed the meeting, and spoke on the question of army reform, and the disestablishment of the English Church, announc ing his intention to support Mr. Miall's motion in the next session. In reply to questions, Mr. Baines said he would vote for the dotatiou and annuity of the Princess Louise, as he would not make an exception in her case from the practice previously pursued. Alderman Carter said he should, on principle, vote against them. A vote of confidence was passed in both members. The American schooner Lizzie E.

BEAR'S FLESH AT ROMAN DINNERS.—TI'e bear was eaten by the Romans, but it is clear that it was con sidered a rarity, and not relished by everybody. In the famous narrative which Petronius gives of the dinner at Trimalchio's, he represents a man who had dined at another house dropping into a dessert, and describing the feast he had had at the house lie had just left. " We had," he said, "a joint of bear, which my wife Scintilla was rash enough to taste. On the other hand, I ate more than a pound of it, for it tasted like boar iteelf ; and for my part, I say, ,that if bear eats man, man has a much greater right to eat bear."—Medical Times and Gazette. _ _ REPRESENTATION OF NORWICH.-Mr. J. H. Tillett, late M.P. for Norwich, has issued an address to the Liberal electors of the constituency. Mr. Tillett observes :—" H I have been robbed by a base and trea cherous act of the honour I had fairly won, those who robbed me of that have unintentionally bestowed on me a greater honour, and have given me a firmer hold than ever on your confidence and affection. I shall remain amongst you. I will throw my whole soul into every effort for the good of my native city, for the strengthening of our great and growing party, and for the overthrow of a base combination formed by those who only agree in hate, and can only co-operate in corruption." THE INUNDATIONS AT ROME.—TIIO municipal Junta of Rome being anxious to recognise the services of the garrison during the inundation of the town, Hint a letter of thanks to the General Commander-in-Chief of the Italian troops, together with the stub Of £1,600 to be distributed among his men. General Cosenz replied to, this by an interesting letter, in which he declared his; liaise of the honour that had been done to them, but the! troops had only performed their duty in thus repairing to . the assistance , of the town. He was sure they would besufti ctiently requitell'for any' efforts they. Wad made, by, the , ' reflection that they had performed an act of humanity. He returned the sum which had been sent, and begged, that it might be bestowed on the sufferers of the calamity,. He added ttat many sub-officers and soldiers of ! :rison of Rome had, of their OiVII accord, eontributed . §.a 'Ms . to the fun& set a foot for the relief of the distressed victims of the innundation.
