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 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 "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. lie 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." - - - "Heis a true poet, and his works will livo."—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 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. " 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-paintbig 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—The Illustrated Review.

The extraordinary trial of "Poynter v. Porter," in reference to the Fermanagh scandal, was proceeded with in Dublin on' Wednesday. Public feeling was strongly enlisted in the case, and the issue was awaited with anxious expectation. The character of the letters which were produced in evidence checked the current of popular sympathy, which before ran uninterruptedly in favour of the plaintiff. It - was indiscreet conduct, to say the least, to preserve these epistles. The plaintiff, it was sworn, was a young man about 25 years of age, the lady 23 or 24, and the defendant about 50. To the disparity of years between the defendant and his wife, and to difference of habits, most of the un happiness of which she complained was attributed. The defendant was examined on Wednesday, and deposed that he was married in 1863, and travelled with his wife until 1865, when they came to reside at Belleisle. Up to this unfortunate affair his married life had been perfectly happy. He and his wife never had any quarrel. He first made the acquaintance of Captain Poynter at a ball given in Enniskillen on the 18th of August. He and his wife were invited to a second ball in September, but did not ee). His wife had made a bet of £5 that Captain Poynter would not give a second dance, and she lost it. He told her to pay the bet, but reproved her for having made it. He felt indebted to the officers of the 16th Regiment for giving their quay at Enniskillen for the use of his steamers, and, calling at the barracks, he invited the plaintiff and Mr. Whitlock to have a day's shooting at Belleisle on the Ist of October. They came, and dined with him. He was absent from home from the following Thursday until Saturday. He had intended to go on Tuesday instead of Thursday, and on the evening of that day Captain Poynter came in his drag and remained for three or four hours. During the afternoon he searched for the plaintiff and Mrs. Porter everywhere, but could not find them. They had gone out for a walk, and after some time he observed them approaching from one of the avenues. He returned home on Sunday, the 9th, and did not go away again until the 24th, when he went to Belfast, and came back next evening. He saw his wife for a moment in her bed room after his arrival, but did not remain with her that night, nor breakfast with her in the morning. He left home that morning, and stopped away until seven or eight o'clock that evening, and she then re mained with him until November 22, except when paying occasional visits to his father and to her own parents—Mr. and Mrs. Hall, at Innismore. She went there to keep her sister company 'while her parents were away, and she had never since slept at Belleisle. He received communications from her after that, one on the 26th of November, and one on the Ist of December. During her absence at Innismore he sent her clothes there. He found something in her jewel case, and he made inquiries of the servants with reference to Captain Poynter's visits. He told Captain Poynter, when he was first carried into the boat, " I am not going to take your life, but lam going to take you to the scene of your villainy to flog you." The plaintiff protested innocence and called God to witness. The defendant said, " Don't call ou God, for you don't believe in Him." Captain Poynter asked him why he had not written to him, as he would have cleared himself completely. The defendant told him that the word of a man who had com mitted such villainy as he had done was of uo value, and therefore he had not been written to. He said that the unfortunate woman had confessed. Captain Poynter complained in the boat that he was being suffocated, and he immediately opened his collar and sprinkled him with water. When starting, the plaintiff made a great noise, and he struck him slightly in the face, and told him if he did not keep quiet he would hit him harder. He sub sequently threw water on him, and threatened to deluge him if he did not remain quiet. He was so moderate in his conduct that one of the men said, " Let me come there, and I'll keep the scoundrel quiet ; you are too quiet ! I'll not be so easy with him." When he got to Belleisle he made a little speech to the following effect :—" Men and women, I have brought here the blackguard or scoundrel"—he could not tell which word he used—" who has broken my life, who is adi grace to the army, and I am going to flog him. I hope none of you will suffer the pain that I suffer." He then thanked them, and begged to thank all his neighbours for the sympathy and uniform kindness they had shewn him in his great misfortune. The defendant seemed affected at this stage of the examination. In cross-examination by the Solicitor-General he admitted that he never made inquiry of Captain Poynter whether he was !guilty or not before treating him in the way de scribed. He said he never had any doubt of his guilt. He had whisky in the boat for the refresh ment of the men, but took none of it himself. Robert Kerr, a servant, proved having driven Mrs. Porter into Enniskillen, where she saw Captain Poynter, and also to having delivered notes from her to the plaintiff. John Oldcraft, another witness, proved that Captain Poynter visited Mrs. Porter while her husband was in Dublin, and stayed two hours and a half with her alone in the library. He tried to get into the room, but found the door bolted from the inside. He afterwards saw Captain Poynter and Mrs. Porter come out of the room. He went in there and found the blinds down. They had previously been up. The furniture was topsy turvy and all at one side of the room, a chair was on the ground, the table cover off, the sun blind down, and the curtains drawn, so that the place was quite dark. On the 26th of November, when Mr. Porter had gone to Belfast, he waited on Mrs. Porter and Captain Poynter at dinner. She told him after he had laid the dinner that he need not come back, and when he was bringing up a lamp she told him not to bring it yet, and he left them without any light except that of the fire. Mary Wil son, a schoolmistress, swore that she went one day to Bellcisle, where she used to practise on the harmo nium in the library, and that she turned the handle of the door and found it was fastened. She knew that Captain Poynter was there that evening. Anne Irvine, Mrs. Porter's maid, swore that she went out with her mistress one Sunday last winter, and that outside the gate they met Captain Poynter riding. He dismounted, and she told the witness to return, and they went off to walk together. She did not return to Belleisle that night. Mr. Gorges, a gentleman residing at Lisbellaw, deposed that he dined at Innismore on the 24th of November, when Miss Hall only was at home. He met unexpectedly her sister, Mrs. Porter, there, and in the evening Captain Poynter and a brother officer came in. He was surprised and wanted to take his wife away, but she became agitated, and to avoid a scene he returned to his seat. Charles Mills, a teacher of music, deposed that while he and Mrs. Porter were playing a Captain Poynter came in, and the lady having d, he produced a letter, and said there was a word he could not understand, and they talked together in a low tone. She said twice that he might leave the room, but he did not go. William Oldcraft, a messenger, swore that on the 24th of October he was standing outside a window looking at the Northern Lights, and observed the plaintiff and sirs. Porter sitting on the sofa. He saw him roll her on the sofa, and they had great laughing and talking. This evidence closed the case for the defendant. Mr. Faulkner, Q.C., addressed the jury on his behalf, and Serjeant Armstrong replied for the plaintiff. The jury disagreed, andlcould not come to a verdict in this case. Ni. Roy, the well-known French gentleman rider, who was reported to have been killed in the recent en gagements, is alive and perfectly well, although, having enlisted as a private in the dragoons, he is, with his regi ment, at present a prisoner of war in Paris. THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE CRICKET MATCH. —The cricket match at Lord's Ground has been fixed for June 26, but no day has yet been settled for the boat race. THE ROUTE TP AND FROM PARIS.---The Rev. Mr. Forbes arrived in London on Wednesday with dis patches from Mr. WTashburne, the United States Minister. He left Paris at five o'clock on Tuesday morning. The road by way of Dieppe appears now to be quite open. Last week travellers experienced some hardship and con siderable delay in their efforts to get into Paris. Mr. Auberon Herbert has gone into Paris to see his brother, who is in medical practice in that city, and who has re mained there during the whole of the siege. He took with him a quantity of provisions. A STORY OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S. —The Galaxy for February contains political reminiscences, by Thur low Weed, of President Lincoln. The following is men tioned as a story of his, told in the course of a discussion about the formation of a Cabinet, when Maryland men were mentioned. He said there was a witness in a neigh bouring county who on being asked his age, replied, " 60." Being satisfied that he was much older, the judge re peated the question, and on rece i v i ng th e same answer admonished the witness, saying that the court knew him to be much older than 60. "Oh,"said the witness, " you're thinking about that 15 years that I lived down on the eastern shore of Maryland ; that was so much lost time, and don't count."
