THE FIRST COLLECTIVE EDITION. Handsomely bound in cloth,bevelledbuards, 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 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 llorris Dancers.' Aletheia 'is the longest, and, on the whole, the noblest poem in the collection. It Win 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."—Athenamm. " 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 3lr. Kent as a poet of very considerable powers and culture" adding, "The real vigour o f Mr. Kent ' s p oetical 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."- World. '—News of the "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 Phoebus 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 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.'

A preliminary meeting of laymen was held on Wed nesday, Lord Harrowby in the chair, to consider what steps should be taken to help the Irish Church Susten: tation Fund. A letter received from the Archbishop of Canterbury was read, stating that steps ought at once to be taken to form a committee of laymen. His grace offered to give £l,OOO in yearly instalments of £lOO. Alet ter was received from the Archbishop of York,saying he would be most happy to help the committee in any way he could whenever he was in London. After a meeting of two hours, to which reporters were not admitted, those pre sent adjourned to Friday next. An English gentleman of property has become a member of the Greek Church at Constantinople, and was at the same time consecrated as "a pope " of that Church. It is said that he will shortly proceed to Bir mingham in his new capacity, for the purpose of making converts. The death is announced of Sir William Richard Carter Chaytor. The deceased, who was born in 1805, was the second baronet, and succeeded his father in 1847. From 1831 to 1834 he was member for the city of Durham. He is succeeded in the baronetcy by his son William, who was born in 1837. 11./l/.411. •••• • • ..Princess Louise has warmly acknowledged the present which the inhabitants of Kintyre sent her. Her Itoyal Highness " looks forward to the time when she will be able to be among those who, in making her this beautiful present, have already given her so kind a welcome."

Overwork—how often we hear that word now-a days— overwork again ; like Leech, and Maas°, and so many more.—Guardian. It is proposed to affix the seal of the University of Oxford to a petition from the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of that University, to the House of Commons against the bill to alter the law respecting religious tests. The matter will come before the Convocation of the Uni versity of Oxford on Friday next. On Tuesday, at a meeting of the Royal Humane Society, on the motion of Sir William Fraser, Bart., seconded by Mr. Frederick Gray, it was unanimously resolved that a deputation of the society wait upon the Vice-President of the Privy Council, to suggest that where practicable, the art of swimming be taught in all schools established under the recent Act. Mr. Robert Crothers, who was a sergeant of the Gth (Inniskilling) Dragoons at Waterloo, has just died in Manchester, at the age of 94. The funeral took place at St. George's Church, Hulme, and by permission of Colonel Shute, of the 4th Dragoon Guards, it was conducted with military honours. The ceremony attracted a large con course of spectators. The marriage of Miss Duncombe, daughter of the Hon. Admiral Duncombe, M.P., with the Hon. Ashley Glyn. eldest son of L or d Wolverton, was solemnised on Tuesday at St. Georg e ' s , H anover - sq uare, in the presence of a very large circle of relatives and friends. The Hon. and Very Rev, the Dean of York, uncle of the bride, assisted by the rector of St. George's, officiated. Edward Fitzgerald, who has been in the employ of the Liverpool Corporation for twenty-three years, and whose father had been in the same employ fer fifty years, was on Tuesday committed for trial at the sessions by the Liverpool magistrates for embezzling sums amounting to £483. The defalcations were discovered by another man being put in Fiterald's place, he having become ill. On Monday evening the house of Colonel Somer set, C.B , of Stoke Park , Sta p leton, about two m iles from Bristol . was entered by thieves between nine and ten o'clock, while the family were sitting in the drawing-room and the servants were in the lower part of the house. The thieves ransacked three bed-rooms : and carried off a num ber of medals and other valuable insignia which had been earned by Colonel Somerset and his late father in the service of their - country, and a large quantity of jewellery valued at about £5OO. SHOPPING. —Mouldy Gentleman : " That's a proper built coat you've got hold of, 'Arry. Where did you come across it?" 'Arry (of the Sw*ll M 4 `l3) : " Why, at a clothes' shop, of course." The Mouldy : " What was the damage; then ?" 'Arry : "Don't know, I'm sure; the shopinan wasn't there.' ON THE SAFE SIDE, ANYHOW 7—Miss Deborah (a precise old maid, of strictly Evangelical principles), loq. : Why, Rebecca, you never cleaned those windows, and they were actually dirty on the Sabbath Day." Maid-of-all-work (anxious to be equally strict) : " Indeed, mum, I hadn't no time ; but I'll do em to-morrow, if I'm spared ; and, if not, on Wednesday." SPUTTERINGs FROM JUDY'S PEN.—English colours : Neutral tints. Popular mode of Prussian travelling : Sedan conveyances. It was said that the Beggars' Opera made Rich gay and Gay rich. Perhaps the Greenwich beggars' chorus has made Glad feel dizzy and Dizzy glad. Madame Tussaud has added Von Moltke to her collection —in the Chamber of Horrors, of course. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. Lord Kenlis, who was on Tuesday elected to represent the county of Westmoreland in Parliament, made a speech on the occasion. His lordship, in reference to the question of Army Reform, said if England was to maintain her foreign policy and the great position it had pro cured for her, she must be prepared to assert that position should occasion require. The policy she ought to adopt was that of an armed neutrality. Mr. Cardwell's scheme he characterised as a passable one, considering the Government it emanated from ; and he approved of the bill so far as he could at 'present judge of it. He stigmatised the opposition to the Princess Louise's dowry as unworthy the character of Englishmen, and considered that the vote ought not to have been questioned. He expressed himself in favour of denominational religious education, and thoroughly opposed to the education of women in those branches in which it was now proposed that they should be instructed. He would not vote for the disestablishment of the English Church, nor for the Ballot. The latter measure he considered un-English, and believed it would afford no security against bribery and corruption. He would vote for measures tending to place Imperial and local taxation upon a more equitable basis. He was not in favour of lowering the county fran chise to the same standard as in boroughs. Mr. M'Combie, in a letter, expresses his surprise at the appearance of Colonel Farquharson's address to the electors of West Aberdeenshire. Mr. M'Combie says: " I can only repeat what I stated to a meeting of electors at Alford on Tuesday last, and to the Committee of Liberal electors for the county on Friday, that I have no present intention of resigning my seat. Should I resolve at any future time to resign the high honour entrusted to me, I will not fail at once to inform the constituency of my resolution." Mr. Bagwell will ask the Chief Secretary for Ire laud on Thursday whether it is the intention of the Government to extend the volunteer system to Ireland ; and, if not, why not. The ravages of smallpox in Liverpool not only remain unchecked, but, according to the last return of the Registrar General, are on the increase. Last week no fewer than 105 deaths from, this terrible epidemic were recorded in tho borough, shewing an excess of nineteen over the number registered in the previous week. The extent to which vaccination is neglected is shewn by the fact that of the 105 persons whose deaths were recorded last week fifty-three were unvaccinated. THE GRATITUDE OF THE PARISIANS.—It has been already stated that M. de Rothschild and Mr. Wallace are coming over to convey the thanks of the Parisians to the city of London for its magnificent succour —now amounting altogether to not far short of £lOO,OOO. The first of these gentlemen is Baron Alphonse de Roths child, who has been serving on the ramparts of Paris as a soldier during the whole of the siege. Mr. Wallace is the principal heir of the late Marquis of Hertford, who died in August last in Parii, where he had lived for many years, and was much better known than in his own country. His title went to his cousin, r: eneral Seymour, one of the Queen's equerries ; but t„, lArge Irish estates in County Antrim, valued at some £50,000 a year, and personal property of nearly a quarter of a million sterling, were left by a codocil to Mr. Richard Wallace. There have been some rumours in regard to au opposition to the will on account of an informality in the codocil ; but nothing has as yet come of them. Meanwhile, Mr. Wallace is said to have spent about as much as the City of London in assisting the sick and wounded . and relieving destitution in Par is durin g the Scotsman.

She did so, holding to the railings, but the dog rushed at her and tore a piece out of her dress. The defendant said the road was very quiet, and he found it necessary to keep a dog for the protection of his wife. It would bark at people approaching the house, but he had never known it bite any one. He produced the dog, which, throughout the hearing of th e case , re mained very quiet. George Osborne, 219 D, a warrant officer attached to the court, said that when he went to the defendant's house to serve the summons the dog was loose in the garden and barked so furiously that he could not venture to go to the door to deliver the summons, but made the servant come to him hstGoe dogrntern and dil a asdo t ot affh good-temperedtheiesnre gerd,v abntuo g tt a ie d ea e rhi n ceae da tnchngodeaomnttpepl playful. called, fa in se been uae T tlda. uh, compensation aiwntt edo d dh e ta Idto e ae n is.t :gee stated pr n hltl t ahef yora i r ehei His t t torn a visitor's clothes. On another occasion it had torn a milkmaid's jacket when she came into the garden. Mr. D'Eyneourt thought the dog might easily be taught to behave properly. The defendant must take measures to insure the safety of the public. He would have to com pensate the complainant, who claimed ss, for the damage done to her dress, and to pay 2s. for the cost of the summons, 3t3,* l est' t 01' ••. • ' --' ~t~ rl ~ .:ll~ y ' e-iiiii , ee3rli st. r , get o ter 0 0 13, E, 9a vn~,d ,f
