O ffi ce , 5, ILI- Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and faithful addresses have been given. During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. . _ The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones. To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John Stabb, Hon.

NOW READY, CHARLES K ENT'S POEMS. THE FIRST COLLECTIVE EDITION. Handsomely bound in cloth, bevelled boards, Crowu 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 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 Du 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." "Heis 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. lie 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 ITypatia, 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.

Py Edward Newman F.L.S., F.Z.S. Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature; also a description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis. Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities whore found. Each moth is drawn from nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work is omplete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at Gil. each, The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. Gd. each part. Part X. now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this magnificent woll." Fiehl. " Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph, " 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 many rare specimens."—S'tantlard. "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 deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoronghly 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 readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to our library." Land and Water, Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIR. 37. Strand. W.O. B.

SUPPOSED MURDER OF A POLICEMAN,—It iS believed that the policeman Benjamin Snow, of Benning ton, Herts, who returned to his home on Tuesday after noon suffering from a severe wound in the Elcull from the effects of which he soon afterwards died, was the victim of foul play. MR. W. FOWLER, M.P., AT CAMBRIDGE.—Mr. W. Fowler, M.P., who was present on Wednesday after noon at the opening of the Young Men's Christian Association, expressad the opinion that if the meeting of Parliament was not followed by a speedy dissolution, the Universities Tests would soon be removed, as the subject was one, which it was extensivoly felt, ought to be at once dealt with, and with the result indicated. OUR HORSES.—The Sporting Life says that a large number of horses have been purchased in the Lon don market by foreign agents since the outbreak of hosti lities between France and Prussia, and the continued demand has so enhanced the value of the animal that the prices given for ordinary cavalry horses range from £3l) to £6O each, the average being, perhaps, about £35. It is estimated that upwards of 15,000 horses have been shipped from Southampton for the use of the French, their destination being at first Dieppe, but now the majority go to St. Malo. One firm alone in the Borough, who have a commission from the French Government, have stabled 6,000 horses prior to their being sent to Southampton. If our Government wanted troop horses now they would have to give fabulous prices. PER R I N S' BINKO'S PATENT IMPERIAL PAPER BLUE, for Laundry and Household Purposes.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—This market continues steady to-day, though the demand has rather fallen off. The engage ments of both spinners and manufacturers are still so general that they are not anxious to sell further, and the daily require ments are quite sufficient to take off all stocks, as they begin to accumulate here and there. The position of spinners and manufacturers is steadily improving, as cotton declines, without any sensible reduction either in yarns or cloth. BIR3IINGIIAM IRON, THURSDAY.-At the quarterly meeting • of iron masters held to-day in the Town-hall, Birmingham, there was a very large attendanee. The prospects of trade, are dull as regards the present, but the future prospects are not on the whole discouraging. The recent weather, by freezing canals and reservoirs, and impeding communica tions, has interfered with work. But the inconvenience is less felt on account of the dullness of trade. Nevertheless there has been a fair proportion of orders on hand, and to-day the fresh quarter opened with the promise of several good orders, orders for finished being given out. Prices remain nominally the same, but much firmer in pig iron. There was a great deal doing, and prices were decidedly firm. BRADFORD, TRURSDAv.—The market here has maintained the firmness with which the year opened, and has even strengthened in tone. The increasing difficulty our staplers meet in replenishing stock from the country, except at advanced rate;, compels them to stand out for extreme quotations. There has also been a sufficient demand from consumers to justify a hardening tendency. Transactions have been fairly numerous in all the better descriptions, especially in wethers, which may now be quoted at ls. 3d. to ls. 31d., while bright hogs bring ls. 6d. to ls. 61d. In foreign yarns orders are still given out for single thirties. But , the growing firmness of spinners hinders business. Two folds are generally quiet. Lustre yarns are in somewhat improVed request. Home trade spinners are still busy on soft yarns, and prices all round are firm. In pieces a few purchases are made for Germany. The home trade is quiet, and the few orders of merchants have to be placed at very full rates. Manufacturers . generally are snaking a stand for a slight advance, especially in e lustre goods.

MANCHESTER, TIIIIRSDAY.—At this market to-day English wheat was only in moderate request, and all but the finest Ppicked samples, must be quoted is. per quarter lower. Foreign at the same time was firmly held at the same prices as last Thursday, which checked business. There was scarcely any inquiry for flour ; best quality was not attainable at less money ; other sorts declined 6d. per sack. Oats and beans met a slow sale, at late rates. Indian corn brought an advance of 6d. to 9d. per qr. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THIIRSDAY.—Opening Re port.—This market opened to-day with a quiet appearance and moderate demand.
