COLLECTIVE EDITION. Handsomely bound in cloth, bevelled boards, Crown Octavo, price Seven Shillings and Sixpence. "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 Fruetidor ;' 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."--Atheuxurn. "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. Ile 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.

The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties require it, three, four, five, and even six Egorrs are given The work Is, omplete in thirty-one nuinthly numbers, at fd. each. The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. Cd. each part.

"Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable."—Daily Telegpaph. "It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain mpyrare specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento- mologist cleservcdly•stands high. . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newm.m's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . 'We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our r ea d ers .

Strasbourg, which the Germans now regard as one of their own cities, is destined, it seems, at the conclusion of peace to become the seat of a Teutonic university in lieu of the present incomplete academy, in which only three faculties are represented. The arrange ments for the restoration of the library on a corres ponding scale have already made some progress. The North German universities have been empowered by royal decree to present it with all duplicate copies usually disposed of by sale, and valuable contributions are ex pected from Konigsberg, Bremen, Dresden, and Gottin gen, as well as from Munich, Vienna, and the Scientific Society of Leipsic. Assistance has been promised by all the great German publishing firms at home and abroad, and no effort will be spared to render the collection worthy of the city in which printing was invented, and where Goethe completed his academical studies. It may, there fore, be expected that under her new rulers the ancient glory of Strasbourg, as a seat of learning, will be shortly revived; but many years must assuredly elapse before the good German professors, for all their scientific reputa tion, will be welcomed to the new university by the students of Alsace. — Globe. NEWS FROM AMERICA. A correspondent writing from New York on December 29th says the suggestion of President Grant in relation to the claims for indemnity against Great Britain on account of the Alabama, it is now said, will probably be carried out. Upon the reassembling of Congress a bill will be introduced into the House of Representatives providing for the payment of individual losses by the United States Government after they shall have been passed by a commission appointed to examine them, thus transferring the who'e claim to the country at large. No little excitement has been created in this city by the conduct of the proprietor of a great dry goods and haberdashery shop in the Sixth Avenue, in causing to be arrested, on the awkward, charge of shoplifting, several most estimable ladies. This shop, which to New York is what the Bon -Marche in the Rue de Bac is ordinarily to Paris, and, in Christmas times, what the Soho Bazaar is to London, furnishes a very large clientele with their stuffs, hosiery, gloves, shawls, &c. Hundreds and thousands daily resort thither to make purchases ; the number of young girls who wait at the counters is very large, and detective policemen are employed by the proprietors to guard against the depredations of thieves. These detectives have latterly been only too zealous and vigilant. They have given in charge and caused to be examined before a magistrate upon the accusa tion of theft, three or four ladies of the highest respectability. The articles stolen were of very trifling value, not exceeding in any instance half-a crown, and when the innocence of the parties was overwhelmingly established the cruel wrong of subjecting them to the ignominy of a magistrate's examination for so small a loss impressed itself very strongly on the public mind. The proprietor of the shop has addressed an exculpatory card to the morning papers, which, it is admitted, only makes his case the more unpardonable, and it is quite certain that hereafter ladies, unattended by their husbands or brothers, will take care never to enter his establishment. An interesting social event occurred on the evening of the 27th, at Delmonico's Restaurant, in Fourteenth-street. The numerous friends in New York of Captain IJ. G. Lott, of the Cunard line of steamers, assembled to offer him a testimonial of their regard and their congratula tions, on the eve of his departure for his four hundredth passage of the Atlantic. Captain Lott sailed the follow ing day in the steamer Russia. As the senior captain in the Cunard fleet, he will become its commodore upon the retirement of Captain Judkins on the Ist of January, 1871. The occasion was thought of sufficient dignity and importance to be commemorated by Captain Lott'e friends in the presentation to him of a purse of 3,500 dollars. A large company was present, and, after a formal reception, there was a ball, supplemented by an elegant supper, the whole entertainment being of a character to afford assurance that Delmoncio received for it a larger purse than was given to the gallant captain. THE " SYMPATHY WITH FRANCE" MEETINGS.— Organising agitation is an expensive form of amusement. Mr. Merriman's committee were favoured with a striking illustration of the fact, by being informed that the ex penses connected with the late meeting on the war amounted to £194, towards which only £72 had been sub scribed on Monday last. —Scotsman. THR BIRMINGHAM AND MIDLAND INSTITUTE.- Professor Huxley has been requested to accept the office of President of the Birmingham and Midland Institute for this year. The Institute has of late greatly increased in popularity and usefulness. Classes for the teaching of chemistry and literary subjects have an attendance of over a thousand students. The Council are about to erect a new and much larger lecture theatre. THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD.—It is understood that the committee appointed by the London School Board to recommend the names of six candidates for the office of chief clerk or secretary, have agreed upon their report, and 'that the names of Mr. Edwin Pears, Mr. W. H. Selway, and Mr. H. B. Lutchfield are included in the list. It is supposed that Mr. Croad is also one of the six. There were very nearly a hundred candidates. The Board will proceed to the election at its next meeting. THE BRADFORD REPRESENTATIVES.—TiIe Right Hon. W. E. Forster is announced to address his consti tuents in St. George's Hall, Bradford, next Monday. Hitherto it has been the practice for Mr. Miall to accom pany his colleague and give an account of his stewardship at the same time. This time, however, Mr. Forster will appear before the electors alone. Some surprise (the Bradford Times tells us) is expressed at the absence of Mr. Miall, and no little speculation is abroad as to the cause of the separation on this occasion. It is generally believed that a coldness has sprung up between the two members in consequence of the opposite courses pursued by them over the Education Bill. THE POLITICAL PRISONERS.—Mrs. Margaret Dillon has received the following telegram from Bryan Dillon, from Woking Prison :—" The conditional pardon banishing me from the United Kingdom for four years was read for me to-day. Sooner than remain in prison alone, I signed a paper accepting the conditions. I leave this for Milbank Prison to-morrow, where I will be fitted out with a suit of clothes at the expense of the Govern ment, which also pays my passage, second-class cabin, by the Cunard line, a n d w ill give me five pounds for expenses on the voyage. I write more fully to-morrow. lam still confined to bed."— Cork Examiner. LOSS OF THE BARQUE SPINDRIFT.—ThfOrMatiOII reached Liverpool on Tuesday, from St. Michaels, of the loss, on the 6th December, of the new Liverpool iron barque Spindrift, on her first voyage to Mexico with a general cargo. She went ashore on the Island of St. George, Azores, and became a wreck, a small quantity only of the cargo being saved. The master (Sykes), the chief officer, and five men were lost ; only two men were saved. The Spindrift was built last year by Messrs. Bowdler, Chaffer, and Co., of Seacombe, for Messrs. Holden and Co., of Whitstable. She had the highest class at Lloyd's. Her owners were the salvors of a ship of the same name (the celebrated China clipper) lost some time ago off Deal' ACCIDENT TO THE AMERICAN MAIL STEAMER CITY OF BROOKLYN.—On Tuesday intelligence was re ceived in Liverpool to the effect that the Inman Com• pany's royal mail steamer, City of Brooklyn, Commander Brooks, which left New York on the 31st ult., had en countered very severe weather after leaving port, and that on the 2nd inst. she dropped her screw. The vessel was then about 500 miles to the eastward of Sandy Hook, and when spoken on the 4th inst. she was proceeding under a full pressure of canvas for Liverpool, all being well on board. The wind up to the 4th had been very light and baffling, but there is no doubt that with the late westerly and north-westerly winds the city of Brooklyn would trip along very fast, as, next to the City of Brussels and the City of Paris, she is one of the swiftest steaming and sailing vessels afloat. The City of Brooklyn was due at Liverpool yesterday, but in consequence of the vessel losing her screw it will be some days yet before she will be heard of on the Irish coast, as when she was spoken on the 4th she was only about eight hundred miles from New York. No fears, however, may be entertained as to thsafehtayvoinf having experienced as tolerably slyrefinache eainwgtthher ineMersey report the Atlantic. - -- - At the Newtonbutler Quarter Sessions, Mr. W. O'Connor Morris, acting for the chairman of the county, Mr. P. J. Blake, Q.C., in addressing the grand jury, re ferred to the Irish Land Act as follows :—lt was sufficient to say that the Act of Parliament was of the greatest im portance—first, in contributing to increase the stability of the tenant, and give fair and reasonable compensation and other objects to enable the tenants to agree with their land lords and live undisturbed in their holdings, fee and • simple, inasmuch as the civil bill justice had not now to deal with, he would not make any comment on it. The object of the bill was to increase the state of holdings, and give fair compensation ; the way the law interfered, and brought it forward so as to legalise that custom which has been long in existence in Ulster the custom of landlord and tenant greater privileges and full rights of landed holdings and existing rights of property. The Act had been divided into four classes—first,' as tenant-right to househo!d, and make it impossible for landlords or tenants to violate their contracts. His Wor ship here proceeded through the various clauses of the Act, and impressed on the farmers that while it protected the rights of the tenant, it rigidly protected the rights of property, and before com pensation was granted to a tenant, it must be proved that the tenant did his duty according to arrange ment of their holdings. The farmers should not for any moment suppose that they are to abuse their holdings, but do their duty to theirlandlords. It would be n e cessary that the civil court should hear these cases ; and he hoped that at next term there would be a better and more experienced gentleman here to deal with the matter ; yet he thought it right, as it had been the first occasion after the passing of the Act, to impress on the farming classes, that while the law gave them large security and large and full compensation in cases of fulfilling their duties, that if they did not, they would not get any compensation whatever. TIIE FOR lIICOMING PAIR-OARED MATCH FOR £4OO. During the past week, until Friday, Harry Kelley and James Renforth, and James Taylor and Thomas Winship, the oarsmen engaged in the great pair -oared match on the Tyne, from the High-level Bridge to Scotswood Suspen sion Bridge, for £4OO on Monday next, have continued in active work on the river between the Felling and Jarrow, and both crews are now pronoun-0d as fit for the contest as their most ardent friends could desire. The sudden thaw on Thursday broke up the great sheet of ice which spread over the surface of the Tyne from the Rodheugh Bridge upwards, and the lower reaches of the river on the following day became studded with most dangerous obstacles to navigation. Notwithstanding these, how ever, Renforth and Kelley launched their ship, and after having a good four-mile pull, a piece of ice cut a hole in the stern of the new boat built for them by Jewett, of Dunston, and they were compelled to make for the shore. They arrived there all safe, and in the afternoon chewed on the championship course in their old boat, doing a rattling spin from Paradise Quay to Waterson's Gates and back, the ice, which had nearly cleared away with the receding tide, offering them little interruption. On Saturday, however, the river from the High Level upwards was filled with the ice which had been brought up with the flood, but on Sunday there was a clear narrow stream between the blocks, and upon this the champion and ex-champion did some good sprint ing work to the entire satisfaction of all who beheld it. Taylor and Winship's colours have been printed. They are of white silk, with blue border, the centre being made up of the figure-head of Old Father Tyne, two crossed oars encircled by the words " Monday, January 16,1871. ° with the portraits of the two oarsmen on each side. Below these pictures is a neat scroll, with the words " The Tyne Pair," each of the corners of the colour being filled up with two crossed anchors. Mr. Charles Bush and George Drewitt arrived in New castle from London on Monday evening, and with Ren forth and Kelley shewed at Mr. Baird's, the Star Hotel. The river is now almost clear of ice, and there is every prospect of the match coming off over the course named in the articles. —Sportsman. COMIC PA PERS. ( From Punch.)

" PIETY BEFORE PARIS.—It is a wonder that the pious King of Prussia has not long ago allowed Paris to be re victualled.

Very few, Judy would think. Whatever courting there may be this time, our cousins -Berman will certainly have nothing to do with.

THE LATE Mr. MUNRO.—The death of Mr. Alexander Munro, the sculptor, and son-in-law of Mr. Carruthers, of Inverness, has caused a profound feeling of sorrow in the large circle of his literary and artistic friends: He had been ill for several years, and his life almost despaired of more than once • but last summer he seemed to rally, and it w as hoped hei was really growing stronger. He will be remembered not only for the grace and refinement of his works, but for his genial nature and the many fine qualities which endeared him to a host of friends. SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND NEWSPAPERS PER HOUR. —The Americans are ever busy inventing new machinery to meet the constantly increasing demands of the march of intelligence and civilization in their country.

He married in 1846 the only daughter and heir of the late John Wightwick Knightley, Esq., of the Bury, Off church, Warwickshire, and succeeded his father in the family honours in 1850.
