Handsomely bound in cloth, bevelled boards, Crown Octavo, price Seven Shillings and Sixpence. "As a poet their author must live. He has the sweetness of Wordsworth, the vigour of Southey, and the elegant versatility of Coleridge. It is, however, as a poet of the affectionsithat 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 chivalroui 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 "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 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. lie 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 Phoebus Apollo."—Yunch. " We find in the volume a luxuriant imagery, the fruit of a life-long study of nature. As for flowers !-41r. 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 absolutely 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.'

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 th City, slumbering over 3,500 men, are now without the advantages whit% have been afforded by most of the great towns of the kingdoni. 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•veryseverely. The Committee therefore desire to provide fog the City Regiments a good Rifle Range, Drill Ground, and su,itable Headquarters and Armouries, of which they are entirely destitute. The Committee appeal with confidence to the patriotism and liberality of Use Citizens of London thus to ensure the permanence and efliciency of its contingent to the Reserved Forces of the kingdom. - - The following snbseriptions hate already been receii•e(l: £ The Governor and s.

LAW AND POLICt. Ssutcvs RESULTS OF BORROWING Mom —An ex traordinary spit, illustrating the results of the money lending system, was decided by Vice-Chancellor Stuart. It was instituted by Mr. Payne, a young gentleman who, under the will of his grandfather, had a reversionary interest in a laige estate near Southampton. O.i attain ing his majority, he had borrowed £OO of a well-known money-lender named Dicker, of the Haymarket, who, it was alleged, induced him to sign a memorandum, which, ' he said, he understood to be security for the money actually advanced, but was, as he subsequently discovered, security for the larger sum of £l,OOO, the document also containing the written undertaking thatin the event of the money not being repaid within a given period, the plaintiff would execute a mortgage of the property In which he had a reversionary interest. The plaintiff afterwardsr becanrie indebted to Dicker to the extent of £2,500, upon a portion of which 60 per cent. interest was charged. The defendant thereupon asserted that £6,600 had become due under the mortgage he had improperly obtained, and on the plaintiff refusing to acknowledge his indebtedness to that extent, Dicker, it was alleged, caused his hunters, carriages, and carriage -horses to be seized. When in these difficulties plaintiff left London, and in his absence he was adjudicated bankrupt ; and' he now brought this action with the view of precluding the money-lender from realising the securities to a greater extent than the money actually advanced-22,500 instead of £6,600, with interest at 5 per cent. Dicker now demurred to the whole bill, alleging that the bankruptcy proceedings prevented the plaintiff from seeking for relief in equity. His Honour, however, overruled the demurrer, and ordered that an account should be taken of what had been actually ad vanced by the defendant, and that it should bear interest at 5 per cent. IMPORTANT DECISION WITH RESPECT TO CARRIERS. — The Court of Common Plet g a.vo judg ineut, in 41.0 oaoo Palmer v. the London, Brighton, and South Coast Rail way Company. Mr. Palmer is a carrier, having a number of carts engaged in the collection of parcels for despatch by rail, and the company in question refuse to receive his parcels after half-past six in the evening. As, however, they admit their own vans for a hour after that time, and despatch the parcels they bring in the same evening, Mr. Palmer applied for an injunction to prevent the company acting thus to his prejudice.—The court granted the in junction. THE BURGLARY AT STRATPORD.—CAPTIIRE ON SUSPI CION.-At the Stratford Police-court, Essex, a man, who gives the name of John Baker, was brought up before the magistrates, charged with loitering about the premises of Mr. Crompton, a gentleman residing in the Upton-lane, Romford-road, Stratford, for the purpose of commisting a felony. The house is situated only a few hundred yards from the residence of the late Mr. Samuel Galloway, who, a few days since, died from the murderous wound inflicted on him while en deavouring to capture a burglar who had entered his house. From the evidence given it appears that Mr. Crompton's attention was attracted about nine o . 'clock on Sunday night by hearing a dog bark, and on going to his garden door he saw a man leaving the premises. On examining the windows he found marks of jemmies having been used. Shortly afterwards police constable K, 377, who was on duty in plain clothes, had his attention attracted by a man coming across the ground adjoining Emmanuel Church, and from the direction of Mr. Crompton's house, and as he could give no satisfactory reason for being there he took him into custody. On searching him a candle and matches, and pawn duplicates were found on him, and on Mr. Crompton's garden wall, wrapped up in a rag, housebreaking imple ments were found by K. 317. The prisoner first stated that he resided in Shoreditch, but afterwards said he had left there eight years, and that since then he had been living sometimes in London and sometimes in Portsmouth, but refused to name any houses. He was remanded for further inquiries, the police being of opinion that the man may be connected with the gang of burglars who recently have been committing so many depredations in and about Stratford. The result of the University of Cambridge Local Examinations has just been published. From the summary it appears that of junior boys there passed 1,004 ; failed 555 ; absent, 75—total, 1,1334.

Mr. Cardwell has proved that, though not a military man, and with no first-hand know ledge of military matters, he knows how to choose skilled councillors who have such knowledge, and knows also how to explain clearly and precisely the plans which they have suggested to him. —Economist. HOSPITALITY. —A story is told in Washington of a well-known senator, who is notorious for taking two co cktails in succession before breakfast. One morning, while the senator was practising at the " Metropolitan Bar," a friend put to him the pertinent question, " Sena tor, why do you take two cocktails as a custom ? Won't one tone you ?" The senator drew himself up : " I will tell you why I take two cocktails. When I have taken one it makes me feel like another man. Well, you see I'm bound by common courtesy to treat that man, so I take a second." THE PRIZE ESSAY OF THE PRUSSIAN NATIONAL SOCIEEY FOR AID TO SICK AND WOUNDED.—On the occasion of the International Conference of the Societies for Aid to Sick and Wounded in Time of War, held at Berlin in 1869, a prize of one hundred frederic d'or was offered for the best essay on the possibility of applying the principles of the Convention of Geneva to maritime warfare. The International bulletin, just published at Geneva, announces that the prize has been awarded to an essay, written in English, bearing the motto, " Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days." The sealed packet bearing the same device was opened, as agreed upon, on the anniversary of the birthday of the Queen of Prussia, the 30th of last September, and the signature of the writer was found to be T.
