From the reports in the local papers it appears that no one was present whose name is known out of Birming ham. The President (lr. Cattell ) delivered a lengthy address, explaining the objects and policy of the club. In the course of his remarks he expressed his belief that within ten years, or before the centenary of the great French Revolution, the form of government in great Britain would be a Republic. One of the members of the club was appointed to draw up a reply to the article on " Re publicanism in Birmingham," which recently appeared in the Spectator. Several speeches were made, and Mr. Cattell was thanked for the trouble he had taken in establishing the club. ilway ;rams DOMESTIC SEWING MACHINES ARE MANUFACTURED SPECIALLY FOR FAMILY USE. about ter leyne A th e l had t that ,ersons l'''Sllllllll3.,w b r i l l 1!!

LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this com pany was held at the Waterloo Station on Thursday, Captain Mangles in the chair. The report was a satisfac tory one, and the directors recommended a dividend of 5 per cent. The Chairman, in commenting upon the report, said : At the meeting in August last he ventured to turn prophet—a very dangerous thing to do. He pre dicted that considerable confusion would ensue in conse quence of the breaking out of the war, and that their own company would, with others, suffer. Happily, with regard , to themselves, that. prediction had not been verified. The possession of their steam fleet had been of considerable advantage to the Company, inasmuch as they had been able to keep up a postal communication, via Cherbourg- and St. Male, with the interior of France. This they had done for a considerable time, and were still doing. In spite of the advantages which he had pourtrayed, the shareholders must feel anxious for a. speedy and honourable peace ; but let this come when it might, they must still keep up the steam service. Paris would continue to want revictualling for some time, and the Prussians were throwing great difficulties in the way of so doing. The company had the great advantage of a double line of communication between Havre and Paris, viz., the Seine and the railway. They had conveyed into France no le.s than 6,000 horses during the half-year, from London, and as horses were still being eaten there was every probability that the traffic would increase in this direction.

It is, however, as a poet of the affections that Mr. Kent chiefly excels. The longer and more ambitious poems exhibit extraordinary genius."—The New Monthly Magazine. "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. "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 Dii Majores of the poetic 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 "Hock " expresses its " cordial admiration for the genius and the taste of Mr. Kent as a poet of very considerable powers and culture," adding, " Trle 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 lowest depths." "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, 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 Thcebus 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. Lastly, it recommends itself to us by its historical sympathies and views, and by the charm ing pictures of domestic life, with its affections and blessings, which it frequently affords us." —The Month. -• • • " When the goddess. Flora appoints a poet laureate, it will certainly be Mr. Charles Kent. His poems absblutely glow with flowers in as vivid and delicate word-painting as ever depicted them. A poem of great stateliness and imaginative beauty, in which Mr. Kent vividly groups the more striking and poetical creations of Mythology, shows how their lustre, feebly illumin ing the light of the world, wanes before the radiant approach of the Spirit of Truth, Aletheia.'

ITH, PAYNE, AND SMITHS, In appealing to their fellow-citizens, the Committee are im pelled by a deep conviction that the Volunteer Forces generally have not received that support to which they are entitled. The five regiments specially belonging to the City, numbering over 8,500 men, are now without the advantages which have been afforded by most of the great towns of the kingdom. The Volunteers have devoted their time, and largely contributed out of their means, to the exceptionally heavy charges incident to City Corps, but which now press very severely. The Committee therefore desire to provide for the City Regiments a good Rifle Range, Drill Ground, and suitable Headquarters and Armouries, of which they are entirely destitute. The Committee appeal with confidence to the patriotism and liberality of the Citizens of London thus to ensure the permanence and efficiency of its contingent to the Reserved Forces of the kingdom.

We learn by telegraph that a London train, whilst nearing Birdswood Junction, Warrington, at half•past one on Thursday morning, came into collision with a goods train. The collision was terrific, as the mail train was travelling at full speed. The engine was upset, and the driver died from the effects of his injuries. Three of the Post Office officials have been seriously injured, and a number of the passengers have been cut and bruised. It is reported that great blame is laid upon those re sponsible for the goods train, as the engine was unat tended to. WRECK OF A LIVERPOOL STEAMER AND LOSS OF TWENTY-SIX LIVES. The Lerwick correspondent of the Scotsman sends intel ligence that on Tuesday, the 7th instant the steamer Pacific, belonging to Liverpool, was totally lost on Linga Island, off the Shetland coast, and that twenty-six of the crew were drowned. The others saved themselves, and after remaining four days on an uninhabited island, were discovered, and conveyed to the mainland. The corre spondent adds that another vessel, supposed to be Nor wegian, was wrecked at the same time. It may be stated that there are several islands round the Shetland coast bearing the name of Linga, but the one on which these disasters occurred is not indicated. Mr. Wheeler, a customs officer, on Wednesday recovel ed 2500 from the Southampton Dock Company, for having been injured by a locomotive engine on the dock tramway. THE POST TO PARIS.—We have much pleasure in announcing that a telegram has been received by Post Office in London from the Post Office at Berlin, stating that henceforth sealed letters may be sent into Paris. UNSEASONABLE SALMON AT BILLINGSGATIL — it still appears that traffic in unseasonable salmon is going on, and stringent measures should be adopted. On Friday last seven boxes of salmon were seized by the inspectors appointed by the Fishmongers' Company ; and, to our knowledge, foul fish of the salmon tribe ha% e been seen in Thames-street since the last disclosures. Is it not time something was done in the matter ? —Fishing Gazette. The report from the meteorological office states that there is very little change to report in barometrical pressure beyond a slight decrease in S.W. of British Isles. Readings are still highest in S.E. of England. Tempera ture has fallen a little at our eastern and central stations, but elsewhere a slight rise is noticeable. It is now rather uniform. Winds are now moderate, southerly in the west of our islands, and light to moderate S. W. on our other coasts. The sky continues overcast or very cloudy, except at our eastern stations, where it is moderately clear. Thick fog and mist are reported from our Southern stations and some rain has fallen in the S.W. The sea is a little disturbed at Valencia, moderate to calm else where. With a view to raising in the provinces the additional men required by the augmentation of the army, parties of the Royal Artillery are at once to be stationed in various parts of the kingdom. One battery left for Northampton on Tuesday, and the headquarters of the 11th Brigade proceeded from Woolwich to Sheffield yesterday. The first steps have at length been taken by the War Department to arm the forts and batteries recently con structed for the better defence of the Thames and Medway with the powerful guns specially manufactured for them. On Wednesday a number of men belonging to the Royal Artillery commenced mounting the heavy cannon on the various forts, and on Thursday morning an additional party of seventy gunners, with two officers, left Woolwich for Gravesend, to be employed with the other detach ments in placing the new guns in position at Tilbury Fort, the Isle of Grain, Shornmeade, Coalhouse -point, Folly point, Bishop's-marsh, and on the other smaller batteries defending the Medway and Thames. Lord Justice James will distribute the shooting prizes won during the past year by the members of the Inns of Court Rifle Volunteer Corps. The ceremony is fixed for Thursday, the 23rd instant, in the Banqueting Hall of Lincoln's-inn. A correspondent calls attention to the musketry return for the Bengal Presidency, published in the Army and Navy Gazette of last Saturday. It relates to thirty-one infantry regiments which are returned as being armed as follows :—Breechloaders (Snider), eleven ; trade made muzzleloaders, eight ; interchangeable muzzleloaders, twelve. It will be observed that nearly two-thirds of these regiments are returned as armed with muzzleloaders. BONUS YEAR.-SPECIAL NOTICE. CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

ROBBERY ON AMERICAN PRINCIPLES.—The Kensington Bank of Philadelphia was entered lately 'by men dis guised as policemen, who pretended they were detailed to catch robbers who were to attempt to rob the bank that night. On entering, one of the watchmen was sent for something to drink, and in his absence his companion was overpowered and secured. On his return, he also was securely bound, and the burglars set to work. They suc ceeded in opening the safe' containing special deposits only, the main safe defying all their efforts. The amount secured was about 65,000 dollars, principally coupon Government bonds, the robbers carefully avoiding registered bonds, and such securities as could be traced. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—A case of cruelty to animals was brought before the Brill Petty Sessions, Buckingham shire. Mr. Hall, farmer, was charged by the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with having kept some sheep in a wretched and debilita ted state. The animals were skin and bone, and there was no provision of food about though the ground was covered with snow. On another farm of the defendant's he found more sheep in the same sad condition. A veterinary surgeon corroborated this statement, and said that a number of the sheep could hardly stagger. There was no disease about the sheep, and their state must be attributed to insufficiency of food. This witness also saw two horses drawing a cart at the same farm, which were very week, and seemed to have had no food for two meals. Defendant was fined £lO 13s. in all, and the moiety of the fine payable to the informant was sent to the Berks Infirmary. THE FRAUDS IN THE BOOT TRADE AT DUDLEY. —• At the Dudley Police Court, the prisoners, Nathan Lesser, Jacob Lesser, and Janet Lesser, charged with con spiring with Hermann Lesser (not in custody) to defraud the creditors of the first - named pri. Boner, were agein brought up for examination. The evidence of the railway company's officials shewed that during the two months preceding the bankruptcy no less than twelve tons of goods were sent to Jacob Lesser's shop and the auctioneers in London. This weight did not include the goods (II I , lestinely removed to Wolver hampton and Manchester. book purchased by Nathan and Hermann Lesser, and dirtied upon the carpet and damped to make it look old, after the others had been burnt, was also put in evidence. Mrs. Cohen, the wife of the most important witness, said she did not receive a sum of £27 placed to her credit in the new book. Mr. Motteram, the prosecuting barrister, drew the attention of the magistrates to the fact that in this book, which was evidently made up for the creditors to see, appeared on September 17th, 1870, " Hermann Lesser, one year's salary, £250." and again on November 17th, 1870, " Her mann Lesser, one year's salary, £250." The prisoners were again remanded until Monday next, bail not being allowed. THE ACCIDENT AT TOULON.--Lif it has hitherto been difficult to reckon the number of those killed by the disastrous event at Bandol, it seems quite impossible to decide as to the cause of the catastrophe. The versions of the affair vary so much that the important fact is not decided as to whether the four carriages contained powder, barrels of cartridges, or shells charged with fulminating matter. It is known that the four suspected carriages were at the end of the train, which was quite compre hensible, as they were to have been detached at the Seyne railway station, to be sent to the arsenal of Castigneau by the branch line devoted to the marine service. THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD.—The weekly meet ing of the London School Board was held at the Guildhall under the presidency of Lord Lawrence. Professor Huxley moved that a committee be appointed to consider the scheme of education to be adcpted in the public ele mentary schools, and to report thereon to the board. He was in favour of the adoption of a system of technical educa tion. Elementary schools ought to be supplemented by night schools. He recommended the study of art, drawing, and music, a knowledge of natural phenomena, and the first principles of elementary science. On the question of time, history, and other points, the Professor enlarged at some length. The Rev. Dr. Angus seconded the motion. The Rev. Dr. Barry also supported the appointment of the committee. although he did not approve of Professor Huxley's omission of theological truth. The motion was then unanimously agreed to.
