POEMS 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 insu re its popularity. !—Athenteum. "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 g race, 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 oollection 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 chords 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 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 Ilypatia, 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 luxuria nt imagery, the fruit of a life-long study of nature. As for flowers !—r. Kent is as well up in them as Shakspere him s e lf . Lastly, it M 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 be fore the radiant approach of the Spirit of Truth, ' Aletheia.'

FIELD, WOOD, and HAYNES, in bringing this Stock before the public, call their attention to the folloing facts : The Devon and Somerset Ititllway - , - 42 miles lo on the accompanying map, coloured red), commences at Norton, near Taunton, Somerset, forming a junction with the Bristol and Exeter Railway there, and terminates at Barnstaple, Devon, crossing by a direct route from east to west, Milverton, Wive liscombe, Bampton, Dulverton, North and South Molton , swinbridge, and Landkey, saving nearly 40 miles on the existing route from the West of England to Bristol and the North, and bringing the entire distict traversed within much easier reach of the Metropolis. The Devon and Somerset Railway- possesses peculiar advan tages as regards traffic, as, from the great saving of distance, it will ,not only command a remunerative passeng er and g oods traffic, but, in addition, an important coal and mineral traffic from the surrounding districts which this railway will open up, there being to the northwara of this line, and between it anti the Bristol Channel, upwards of 400 square miles of rich mineral and agricultural country, unprovided with railway accommo dation, and to the southward upwards of 200 miles, more than half of which is similarly unprovided. The present route from the north, north-east, and east to Barnstaple and the West of England is (as a glance at the map will show) round via Taunton, by Exeter, a very circuitous route. When the Devon and Somerset Railway is open, a saving of nearly 40 miles in distance, and consequently economy of time and expense, will be effected by all traffic between the Metro polis and places north of it, and the large district which will be served by the Devon and Somerset Railway, such traffic then proceeding by the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Rail ways to Taunton, and thence by the Devon and Somerset Rail way direct, passengers and goods being booked through by those Companies, By special agreement, confirmed by Act of Parliament, the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company are to work the Devon and Somerset Railway in perpetuity, and pay over to it half yearly 5U per cent. of the gross receipts. Arrangements have been made by which the Midland Railway Company is under Agreement to allow the Devon and Some , set Railway 10 per cent. rebate on the traffic passing over their Lind, and the Bristol and Exeter Company have agreed to allow a similar rebate of 5 per cent. on their line. There will also, it may be confidently expected, be found a special element of great future advantage in the facility it, will offer for summer and excursion traffic to the beautiful and favourite scenery of North Devon and Cornwall. The attractions of this dis trict bring numbers of tourists, which are rapidly increasing every year, to the West of England ; and the Devon and Somerset Rail way will offer to the whole of the manufacturing districts of England the readiest and:by far the shortest route, traversing as it does some of the most picturesque parts of North Devon, The traffic of the Devon and Somerset Railway, there is no doubt, must be large, regard being had to the important towns it unites, and to the rich .agricultural and mineral district it will accommodate, as well as the saving of distance from the Meti opolis and the North of England ; and already application has been made to the Contractor to construct a mineral tramway to bring the minerals from the mines immediately about to be opened on to the line of railway e of e thismpa y. miles, of n which the Devon Towards the construction. of 4 and Somerset Railway being now great pogress has been made, engaged upon the works. The a staff of 1,100 men extremely inclement season has unavoidably delaye d the open ing of the first i section of the line, viz., from Taunton to Wiveliscombe (ten miles), but it is now completed, and the En gineer of the Company reports that official notice is about to. be is o n to the Board of Trade to inspect the same preparatory to Its official opening. The remaining sections w well in hand, and all the rails and fastenings necessary for the completion of e th m e , line have been delivered on the works and the Contractor ficlently anticipates that the entire line will be completed before the e current year. Pending the completion of the line and the development of the traffic, to ensure the punctual payment of 3 per cent. per annum on the Stock—equal to 8 per cent. per annum on the price of subscription—for a period of five years, viz., front the 31st January last to 31st January, 1876, an amount sufficient for the purpose will be invested in Consols in the names of JAMES GoonsoN, Esq., J.P., 32, Kensington Gardens-square, London and JOHN FIELD, Esq. (Messrs. Field, Wood, and Haynes), 9, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-street, London, who have con sented to act as Trustees, and who will apply such amount thereof as may be necessary to ensure the full and punctual payment half-yearly of such interest as it falls due. The Devon and Somerset Railway will compare favourably as to cheapness of construction with the railways in its immediate vicinity, and will, therefore, need considerably less traffic per mile to attain proportionate results. With reference to the estimate of the probable traffic, it may be observed that the North Devon l ine, run ning from Exeter to Barnstaple, hap a traffic of £22 per mile per week ; the South Devon line, from Exeter to Plymouth, for the year 1870, earned x 43 per mile per week ; an d the Bristol and Exeter 4,59 Per . mile per week, together averag i ng about £ 4 l Pal' mile per week A net weekly receipt of about £),6 Per Vall@tier week (in cluding the rebates on traffic passing over the Ilidland and ßristol end Exeter lines) will, after PllalEillg provision for pay ment of the interest on the Debenture and Preference h yield a dividend of 3 per cent. on the Stock n ow bc cfe lm issued (equal to 8 per cent. on its subscription price), aitel oo king to the steady yearly increase of the traffic et and, United Kingdom, and to the long periodallowed '"for the development of the line by the guarantee before mentioned, there can be no reasonable doubt that this minimum resu lt may fairly be looked for before the expiration of the five years guarantee. Considering the price of the Stock now offered in rela tion to the prices oother railway securities of equal promise, it is believed that it possesses every element of a desirable present investment, as well as of a prospective increase in the, value of the capital invested.

It was determined to hold meetings in the v arious great centres of labour, should. first to be held at Leeds, and that deputations attend fox the purpose of advocating the cause. THE MANSION HOUSE RELIEF FUND. A mee ting of the committee of this fund was held at the Mansion House on Friday, the Lord Mayor in the chair. His lordship stated that up to that night the fund amounted to £109,700. He read despatches from Paris to the effect that everything with regard to the distribution of food in that city was going on well. With regard to the fund, the people of ralis were touched to the heart by the sympathy and kindness the people of England evinced to wards them ; indeed, a feeling had been awakened which it would take many years to efface. The Paris Com mittee intimated that they expected to arrive in England early next week, and that the distribution of food would then be left to the Archbishops. Having arrived at this point the great thing was to consider what steps should be taken in the districts. A discussion ensued as to a further grant to Lord Vernon's Committee, and a resolution was eventually carried for the grant of £5,000 to be laid out in the immediate purchase of seed by that committee.
