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 Wordswo'rth, 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 frckm 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, ,Qf which `Amelia' is a type ; and at his sympathy with theMnimated 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."—Atheneum. " 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 Dil Majorea ' 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 p oe ti ca l 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. 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 ever 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."—.Funch. " 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.

ALEXANDER, Sec. and Sup LORD PENZANCE ON INTERFERENCE IN WILL- Ni AKING. The Judge of the Probate Court has during the past week had to investigate the cause of Treadgold and Edgcombe v. Treadgold. The plaintiffs, one of whom is a son of the testator, propounded a will made in 1868 by the late John Treadgold, of Portsmouth, who died when an octogenarian leaving £30,000 personalty and £4,000 realty. By a former will the plaintiff Treadgold did not benefit so largely, and the will which it was now endeavoured to set up was opposed by daughters of the deceased, their husbands and two grandchildren on the ground that when it was made the testator was of unsound mind, and that he was unduly in fluenced. A vast amount of evidence was adduced on both sides, and the most eminent counsel were engaged in the case. Lord Penzance, in giving a lengthened judgment, said that in the case now before the court it was not even pretended by the defendants that the testator was actually insane, but only imbecile. There had been a great deal of evidence by persons who were constantly about the person of the deceased, and people often seemed to think that those persons' evidence was the best. That was not always so, as persons when constantly seeing a man did not notice the appearance of any particular symptom which those who had known him for years and only saw him occasionally would at once do. This was the state of things in the present suit. The family of the deceased swore to certain indications of his mental decay, whilst tradesmen and others who only saw him occasionally spoke to his being perfectly mentally com petent. One remarkable feature in this case, and one that went far to establish the validity of the will was that it was executed by the testator without that interference which was frequently lamentably visible in disputes about wills. It was often the case that a will was prepared, and the testator was asked to what the parties call " . acquiesce ;" and in some cases the deceased had even to have their hands guided to the paper to make their "X," as they were often too far gone to write their names. Wken this occurred, the Court naturally looked on the transaction with great suspicion, and it was fortunate that nothing of the sort had taken place. His Lordship proceeded to view the whole of the evidence, and concluded by stating that the Court would pronounce for the will. As to the costs, he thonght that each party should pay their own. Willi am T re adgold, the plaintiff, acted unavisedly in dealing with his father's money as he had done. He knew very well tnat under the will he would be the residuary legatee, and he took out money from the bank which belonged to his father, and invested it in his own name. That was to say the least unwise, and it was a great mis fortune that when a man was, as it were, on the verge of mental incapacity he should alter his will without making any -3nsible difference in his dispositions, as it was pretty f'.re to lead to an expensive law suit, which was the fact in the present case. Judgment for the plaintiffs, and no order as to costs.

He swore, however, that the entries were made by him every evening after he had done his work. The sergeant of marines assisted in weighing the meat as it was delivered, and he had also seen the assistant-rteward there, and the prisoner also. In reply to the Court, the witness said the prisoner had told him several times that the weights did not correspond with his paper. James Curtis, cattle dealer, and brother and agent for the contractor, described the manner in which the ships were supplied at Portland, under the contract, and said a comparison had been made between the monthly vouchers from the ships and the book of the contractor, and the quantities on the former exceeded those in the book. The difference arose from the fact that witness paid the prisoner for surplus meat at the rate of 50s. per 1001bs. By surplus meat he meant the quantity on the vouchers which exceeded that in the book. In December the prisoner saw him at his office in Portsmouth, when he paid the prisoner for the surplus meat for four months, the prisoner having gone there for the money, bringing the books and stating that he was going to London. He had previously received letters on the subject of the surplus beef, in which he said the weights were less than witness's man made them. For the surplus meat for the months of July, August, September, and October, witness paid £193 4s. 6d. by cheque, payable to Mr. Rice, the prisoner's father-in-law, and delivered to the prisoner. The cheque was made payable to Mr. Rice, because witness did not wish it to pass into his bank that morning. The pri soner presented vouchers for the surplus meat in Novem ber, but witness said he should send them to the Admi ralty and then pay. The Admiralty had only paid witness for November at the rate of 575. 6d. per 100 pounds., nor had payment been made for the full amount in December. All that was justly due for beef supplied in November was paid. In cross-examination the witness said he received the profits of his brother's contract. Ho first heard that- there was to be an inquiry into this matter on the Sunday previous to Christmas Day. This was at an hotel in Weymouth, and the superintendent of con tracts and another gentleman were present. The superin tendent looked at the books on the following Friday, and took them away. Witness had a promise the night before last that he was not to be prosecuted. He had pre viously asked whether he had anything to do with the case, but had not had a decided answer. He had . not pre viously insisted, before he gave information, on the money, or any part of it, b ping paid to him. Some of the money due in November he received in the week fol lowing the interview. The prisoner : Did you n o t y ourse lf receive more money from the Admiralty than the value of the beef delivered? Witness . Yes. The prisoner : And after deducting what you had paid me, how much? Witness : 7s. sd. per 1001bs. I can't say the amount in pounds. It did not amount to a great deal. In reply to the Court, the witness said the prisoner received 50s. per 1001bs. of the money received from the Admiralty for surplus beef, and witness himself received 48° ° ° I 7s. sd. 50 0 0 The inquiry was again adjourned. 70 0 0 FIRST LIST OF SUBSCRIPTIONS.

THE VAGARIES OF A GERMAN BARON.—A motion was made in the Court of Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Stuart for the removal of Baron Von Almen as the next friend of an infant plaintiff in a suit for the administration of his father's estate, under the following peculiar cirsumstances. A few years since Mrs. Phillips, the widow of a Welch gentleman of considerable fortune, met the Baron on the Continent, and subsequently engaged him as her courier. After some time the Baron represented that by the death of his brother he had come into an inheritance worth a million sterling, and proposing marriage, was ac cepted. They cohabited after marriage, and had one child; but the Baroness Von Almen sub sequently refused to continue cohabitation, on the ground that she had discovered that her husband's repre sentations respecting his social position were untrue— that, in fact, he was no baron at all. In the belief that his statements were true, the supposed baron was ap pointed as the next friend of Mrs. Phillip's son, in the suit named ; but the lady now applied to have that appointment cancelled on the ground stated. The Vice- Chancellor declined to enter into the accuracy or inaccu racy of the supposed baron's pedigree ; but believing that th a e nd co F un ra tr n y c , e, in in o c O a n p s a e c q i u t e a n te e d e o h f is t t h e e m N p v o a r r a him from properly discharging the duties of nex t f r i end, his Honour assented to the application. r let a w bs e e e n n ce Prussia fro m IMPORTANT TO MUSIC HALL PROPRIETORS. —On Thurs day, in the Court of Queen's Bench, Mr. Lopez, Q.C., moved on behalf of the London Theatrical Managers to have a rule nisi in a case of Brown v. Macfub, granted in order to have the question determined whether a music hall proprietor who has had a license granted by the jus tices for music is also entitled to have dancing in his rooms under that licence. The defendant was the proprie tor of the Cambridge Music Hall, Shoreditch ; and the plaintiff brought the action under the 25th Geo. 11. chap. 36, to have the matter determined by a Court of Law. The verdict was entered by arrangement for the defendant in order to have the point argued in the full court. Their lordships granted the rule nisi to have the case fully argued. DARING BURGLARIES AT LEAMINGTON.-A man named Henry-Moore, a painter, was charged before the Leaming ton magistrates with breaking into the house of Miss Walhouse, and stealing coins and curiosities to the value of £3OO, and a woman named Hannah Fellows, of Bir mingham, was also charged with receiving the same. The prisoners were apprehended in Birmingham after a severe struggle with the police, in the course of which Moore bit one of the constable's fingers. The proceeds of four burglaries were found upon them, and Moore admitted that he was concerned in all. He appears to have carried on his trade through making the acquaintance of servant girls, and so obtaining a knowledge of the premises. IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS - JEFFERSON V. RICHARDSON, —This was an appeal heard in the Bail Court, for the decision of the justices of South Shields, who had fined the appellant for keeping open a license house for the purpose of selling beer contrary to the statute. The evidence shewed that on a Sunday night before one o'clock eight persons were seen to leave the appellant's house, one of whom was drunk. The defence was that seven out of the eight persons were lodgers and that the eighth was the barman, who was entitled to have beer after his work was done as part of his pay. The court held that the evidence was not sufficient to justify the conviction, and it was therefore quashed. CHARGE AGAINST A MOTHER-IN-LAW.-At Lambeth, Maria Cockburn, a married woman, was charged with assaulting her step-daughter, aged eleven, by placing a rope round her neck to strangle her. Evidence was pro duced to shew that the child was not kindly treated by the prisoner, and she was sentenced to fourteen days' im prisonment. THE TICHBORNE CASE.—An application has been made to the Chief Justice of Common Pleas to postpone the trial, on the ground that there were seven material wit. nesses in France, six of whom were in Paris serving in the French army. After a lengthy discussion the trial was ordered to be postponed until the 19th of May. CAN I AFFORD IT ?—Pay your Stationer 6d. for a reply. Map of the World gratis in all Letts's Office Diaries.
