" These Sewing Machines are superior to any yet exhibited in England."—Court Circular, July 16, 1870. ARGYLL ROOMS, GREAT WINDMILL-STREET, Piccadilly. . _ _ "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 Laruartine 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."—Athensaum. "Mr. Charles Kent, the Editor of `The Sun,' ranks very high as a poet."—Publishers' Circular..

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." "fir. 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.

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. 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. • CHARLTON TUCKER, 21, Northumberland-street, Strand.

WEST LONDON HOSPITAL, Hammersmith, W.—FUNDS are urgently needed, and the Committee earnestly appeal to the benevolent to assist them in carrying on their useful work. T. ALEXANDER, Sec. and Sup Sir W. Mansfield distributed the prizes to the London Scottish volunteers on Saturday, in Westminster Hall. The ceremony excited great interest, as it was expected that the distinguished general would say something on the great question of army reform. Lord Elcho introduced the Indian commander with a short speech. After distributing the prizes Sir William warmly eulogised the physique, disci pline, and general soldiery efficiency of the London Scottish, and turning to the general topic of our military organisa tiod, proceeded to say :—My lord, you have challenged me to give an opinion upon the military organisation of this country. I need not say that any opinion which I may utter in this hall is simply a personal opinion, and any opinion which I may utter here is an opinion which is well known to my intimate friends. It is some years since I ventured to call the attention of people in authority, and also, I may perhaps say, the attention of a certain portion of the public, to the circumstance of the military organization of this country, which although at that time there was no cloud existing of anxiety either in our foreign relations or in our domestic condition, still I say what I observed in what is called the military organi zation of this country filled me with feelings not far from profound alarm. I saw some years ago, and, as I say, I called the attention of others to the result of my observa tions and to the fact, that there were numerous bodies of a military kind in this country, but that they all seemed to be pulling in different ways, instead of co-operating in one grand harmonious whole in the service of the country. I observed that the militia had one set of interests, that the volunteers had another set of interests, and that what is called the line r the regular army was a third body, which had also interests of its own, which were different in degree and in kind from those of the other bodies. I observed that all those bodies sprung from what is called the voluntary principle—as there was no fixed point of departure except the personal option of the individual man, as being the consti tuent in any one of these bodies—so it arose when we came to consider what was to be performed by those bodies that they were dragged aside by conflicting interest, just as you will also see half a dozen men in a room have each their own way of looking at the same subject. That which may be said of individual men may be said with ten times more force when you deal with large bodies, because the individual option which is exercised by a man when it comes to be multiplied by the numbers from the body of which he is a member, comes to have a great and vital force which influences the destinies of the country, and which may produce either the greatest or the most fatal results, according to the manner in which those forces are handled. Can there be anything more fatal than vast bodies of armed men paid by the country, and organised with a view to its defence, some of whom are for service abroad, some for special service in this country, others who are meant to be the last resource of the country, if it should please God we should be called upon to drag out our very last resource to meet an enemy on this soil—l say can there be anything more fatal or more ruinous, whether we consider it as a matter of national resource or whether we consider it as a matter of expenditure, as a mere Parliamentary estimate—can there be anything more ruinous and fatal than that such divi sions should exist amongst the several bodies of this so-called military organisation? Lord Elcho has told us to-night that the session which is about to commence cannot separate without that great question receiving a settlement which must be satisfactory to the country. I am not a political man, and I do not venture to say whether such a result will follow upon this session of Par liament ; but this I do say, that it is the duty not only of those who are in office, but also of those who are out of office, to see that this session does not pass without this great subject being weighed in a manner worthy of it, and without such a result being attained that the divisions to which I have alluded may henceforth cease, and only be known as matters of history. I have said that, according to my apprehension of this subject, the fatal difficulty with which we have to deal is the conflict of interests between the different bodies of which the military organisation of England consists. Well, what is it that causes the conflict of interests? I believe it arises from die fact that every one of those military bodies relies for its existence solely on the volun tary principle. With regard to the body to which lam now addressing myself, it is evident to people who stand forward as volunteers, who give up a very important portion of their time, which we all know they can very ill spare from their business and from the many avocations which press upon them, it would be simply absurd to expect that any other principle of orga nisation than the voluntary one could pervade such bodies. Again, is I pass on to the line, I think there is no one in this hall who will dissent from the opinion, whatever may be the frame of mind with which we contemplate what is going on on the Continent at the present time— however we may view the vast military bodies, the drill ing of the nations which we see on the other side of the water—however we may contemplate the fact that these great military nations have conscriptions which can train the whole of their male population, and not merely for defence—l say however we may contemplate these facts—we don't believe there is any Englishman who would like to see such an organization applied in this country. I believe it to be absolutely necessary to what is called the line or regular army, that army which is required to serve in tropical countries—in short, in every other country which is not England—that that army should rest, as it has hitherto done, upon the voluntary principle. But, gentlemen, there is a third body which now competes in the market-place for the recruits of the army of the line. I believe that the conflict of interests, to which I have alluded as existing between the militia and the line can alone be brought to subside by causing the militia to be raised upon the ancient principle of obligation, which always belonged to the Constitution of this country, and which has always been recognised by every man as his first duty to his country, but which, for a certain number of years, has been held in suspension. I believe it to be ab solutely necessary that we should revert to that principle of obligation—that is, that every man, without respect to rank or to his position in the world, would be liable to serve in his own person in the ranks of the militia. There may be certain exemptions which would be ne cessary, having regard 'to the employment of par ticular persons, but the primary obligation could rest upon every man to serve in his own person, and no pecuniary sum of any amount should enable a man, whatever his rank or position in the country, to save his person by means of his purse. I have some times heard it said that to revert to this ancient principle as a means of filling an army of home defence would be an interference with the liberty of the. subject. Now I should like the proposition to be fairly examined, and to meet a man who would say that he declined to stand forward in the defence of his country because it inter fered with his liberty. I should say that people who use such an argument forget that when they say you ought to rely entirely upon voluntary enlistment for the home defence of the country—that is to say, relying on a system which should cause men to join the militia solely on the ground of daily pay, that that is a measure which secures what may be called the comfortable classes at the ex pense of those who are not so well off. I think I may say that fairly before this body of volunteers, who stand as the representatives of the great body of 170,000 volunteers now in arms, who have shewn that all events they, though they may belong to the comfortable classes, do not shirk the duty which is incumbent on every Englishman, to stand for ward when he is wanted for the defence of the country; and that without pay and without anything but such as may be done for them by their commanding officers, they come forward give up valuable time, at great incon venience, for the purpose of national defence. Therefore, I say, gentlemen, do not be led away by any argument about interference with the liberty of the subject ; but call upon every subject to stand forward in his national posi tion, not merely according to his individual option, but according to his personal liability as distinguished from personal objects; and don't say that when that is re quired from a man, you are interfering with his liberty as a subject. Lord Elcho proposed a vote of thanks to Sir William Mansfield, which was carried by acclamation. His lord ship, in the course of his observations, announced that the Henri-Martini rifle was "as good as adopted" by the War-office authorities. The Anglo-Scottish Publishing Company, the pro prietors of the London Scotsman, have given notice that from circumstances over which they have no control the publication of the paper is discontinued for the present. The following is a more extended report than that which we published yesterday :—On Saturday the police were in formed of a very remarkable robbery that had taken place in the West-end of the city. The details as given to the police are strange indeed, though there may be some question as to their precise accuracy. On Thursday last about four o'clock in the afternoon, a well-dressed man alighted from • a Hansom cab at the shop of Messrs. London and Ryder, jewellers and goldsmiths, in Bond-street, and, walking in, asked to look at some diamond necklaces and rings, remarking that he had lately come into the possession of some property, and was about to expend £6,000 in jewelry. He carefully examined the necklaces and other articles, and then left the shop, giving the name of Mark Tyrrell, and requesting them to be sent to his house, No. 4, Upper Berkeley-street, Portman-square, at half-past five o'clock that eve ning, in order that they might be shown to a lady. The diamonds he had seen, with others he had not seen, and of the value together of between £5,000 and £6,000, were carefully packed in a bag, and entrusted to an assistant to be taken to the address stated. Arriving there at the appointed time, the door, to his surprise, was opened, not by a servant, but by Mr. Tyrrell himself, who asked him to walk in, explaining that his servant was absent for the moment upon an errand. The shopman was conducted to the drawing room, where he found a well dressed young woman, apparently prepared for his visit. She and Mr. Tyrrell took seats at a table, with the shopman on the opposite side, who then produced the necklaces and rings he had been asked to bring, of the value together of about .£2MO, leaving the rest in his bag, which he had placed at his feet on the floor. The lady examined them minutely, and appeared to admire them much. At length Mr. Tyrrell suggested that she had better bring her sister in to look at them before she decided, and she left the room apparently for that purpose. Returning in a few minutes alone, and going Unawares behind the shop man, she stealthily placed a pockethandkerchief, partly saturated, as he believes, with chloroform, over his mouth, bolding it tightly by the ends. The diamonds still lay on the table, and the rest of them were in the bag below. A great struggle immediately ensued, and the shopman was at length completely overpowered. As be lay helplessly exhausted on the floor, partly from the effects of the drug applied to his mouth and nostrils, the man and woman proceeded to pinion his arms by the elbows behind - so, at least, the story goes—and to tie his legs together by the knees and ankles. Bound `thus hand and foot, they placed him upon a sofa in the room, the man telling him as they did so that if he dared to stir or speak he would murder him. This would pro bably be about six o'clock, and he was then left alone in the room in that helpless plight. How long he remained there is not exactly known ; but, from what after wards became known, the interval was probable little short of two hours. Gradually recovering ,;onscious ness, he managed by slow degrees to release himself, and taking up a poker he violently smashed a window of the drawing-room with it in order to raise alarm. The costly diamonds he had displayed on the table had by that time disappeared, but those he had left in his bag on the floor, and which were almost • twice the value of the rest, remained, as good luck would have it—the thieves probably over looking them in their haste to escape. Making his way downstairs to the street door, the shopman gave an alarm. which brought a policeman, and they went over the whole house together, but only to find it completely deserted, and no traces of either the man or woman who had committed the outrage. It was then about eight o'clock in the evening. While the police and he were so engaged they heard a knock at the front door, and, going there, admitted a women, who said she was a servant in the house, and who appeared greatly surprised to find it in the hands of strangers. She explained, in effect, that, at about two o'clock that day, her master, into whose service she had entered only on the previous day, had sent her with a letter addressed to a lady at Tulse-hill ; that she went there accordingly and spent several hours in trying to find the address or the lady, but altogether in vain ; and that she had brought back the letter, which she now shewed to the shop man and to the constable. The inference from this circumstei.,. is that the man Tyrrell, her master, having deliberately planned the robbery, had sent her en foot to that distant suburb upon a fool's errand in order to get her out of the way. Curiously enough, earlier the same afternoon, the same man called at the shop of Messrs. Emanuel, jewellers, in Bond-street, which adjoins that of Messrs. London and Ryder, and ordered some diamond necklaces and rings which he had seen there to be sent to him at the mine address, 4, Upper Berkeley-street, for inspection. In this case, however, the precaution was taken to send with the jewels, not one, but two assistants, one of whom was a man of great height and physique. The door was opened to them by Mr. Tyrrell himself, but they were not ad mitted, he explaining that the lady for whom the diamonds were intended was not then in the house, and they left. It is presumed that, on seeing two assistants with the dia monds, and one of them of such formidable appearance, he suddenly altered his mind, and that Messrs. London and Ryder, instead of Messrs. Emanuel, became the victims from that circumstance. Subsequent inquiries have elicited the fact that the house in question in Upper Berkeley-street, which is a furnished one, was taken only on the preceding day by the man Tyrrell, and that at his request the landlord engaged him a female servant—the same who was afterwards absent on the needless errand to 'Tulle-hill, while the robbery and outrage were being com mitted. For the time the thieves have escaped. The man Tyrrell is described as being about 35 years of age, and as having dark hair and complexion, with dark whiskers and moustache. LAW AND POLICE. IMPORTANT QUESTION OF COMMERCIAL Law.—Lord Romilly, Master of the Rolls, delivered judgment in a case involvinc , an important question of commercial law : whether Mr. Thomas, chairman of the Bristol Soap Trad ing Company, having paid the financial agent of the company • the full amount of his shares, was now liable for-the - deficiency of £ 1 , 350 , which appeared by the books to be due after the bankruptcy of the agent and his departure from the country. Two of the four cheques by which the money was alleged to have been paid, were duly entered in the accounts ; but of the remainder no mention whatever was made. Hi s l or d s hi p said that a financial agency was not an official position which was generally recognised by public companies, and the holder of it was not th ere f ore au th or i se d to receive payments in respect of shares. Mr. Thomas, too, had been guilty of an omission of duty as chairman of direc tors, in not seeing the entry of the payments in question made ; and his lordship had no alternative but to decide that the deficiency must still be regarded as being due from him, as a contributory of the company. LIABILITY TO CALLS.—A new rule has been granted by the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench in the case of "Dent v. Nicholls," in which a verdict had been given for the plaintiff, with damages amounting to about £7,000. The transaction leading to the litigation arose out of a sale of some shares in the Bank of Hindustan., China, and Japan (Limited), the plaintiffs alleging that the defendant had not, by furnishing them with a proper transferee, indemnified them against the payment of calls. MISS ELISE HOLT ANh HER ENGAGEMENTS.—An appli cation has been made to the Court of Queen's Bench, on the part of Mrs. Swanborough, for a rule for a new trial in the case lately tried, when a verdict of £4O damages was given against the defendant for illegally cancelling an engage rent which she had entered into with the plaintiff to appear at the Strand Theatre in the part of Lord Darnley in the burlesque of " The Field of the Cloth of Gold."—The judges refused to disturb the verdict. IMPOSING ON MR. FRANK MATHEWS, THE ACTOR. At the Marylebone Police-court, Mr. F. Mathews c applied lm s t t a o n e the s.A magistrate short timef or a a d o v e ac e a under young man follow ing a e d cir upon him at his residence, Loudon-grove, and said "I have charge of Mr. Charles Mathews' house, No. 25, Pelham-crescent, Brompton. My name is Flowers. Mr. Charles Matthews, jun., has just gone out to dinner, and before he went he said he expected a large parcel from his father in Australia, (Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathews a re now perform ing there), and if I had not money enough I was to go to Mr. or Mrs. Frank Mathews and they would give me what money I required." He asked the applicant how much he wanted, and being informed that a sovereign would be enough, he gave it to him, but some doubts arising in his mind afterwards he communicated with Mr. Charles Mathews jun., and discovered the whole story was a fraud. The magistrate issued a warrant against Flowers for obtaining money by false pretences. _ AN ECCENTRIC PRISONER AND AN ECCENTRIC PhOSE CUTOR.—John Edward White. a decently-dressed young man, was charged, at Bow-street, with burglary under the following peculiar circumstances. Frank Deane, a clerk, residing at Houghton-street, deposed that at a quarter to three in the morning he was smoking his pipe when he saw the bed-curtain raised up in a very extraordinary manner. He looked under the bed, and thought his wife had perhaps put a bundle there, but he suddenly perceived " two glaring eyes "—it was the prisoner. Witness asked him how he came there, and he replied, in a rambling statement, that he thought his mother was there, and that he wanted rest. Witness ex amined the staircase window, and found there were marks of a man having climbed up. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that he remembered nothing about it, as he was drunk. He was then committed for trial. B 0 C K-B 1 N K 0 ' S 11. CHEMICAL MANUFACTORY, 3, CITY GARDENS, CITY ROAD, London, N.
