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 Frnetidor ;' 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."--Athenteum. "Mr. Charles Kent, the Editor of The Sun,' ranks very high as a poet."—Publishers' Circular.

"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 Towers 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." "fir. 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 t :ne and sympathies." "He is a true poet, and his works will live." World '—News of the "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 Phoebus Apollo."—Punch.

The submission, however, of the latter, about twelve mouths since, led to bands of explorers being organised, and the discovery and location by them of Ledges of Siver Ore, unequalled in mining enterprise. Upon the facts being made known, experienced miners repaired to the spot, and in consequence of their reports, and statements made by them as to the extent, richness, and value of the Ores, the Vendors, under whose notice these reports came, forthwith despatched practical and competent persons to investigate the locality, and procure samples from all parts of the mountainous range, the results of which, after being duly tested, convinced them that the Ledges .of Ore IN SIGHT, in point of magnitude and richness, as well as facility for working, were unequalled, and in point of quantity inexhaustible. An assay of 401bs. of ore, consisting of 32 samples, was made by Messrs. Riehn, Hemme, and Co., of the California Assay Office; Mr. Leopold Kuh, of San Francisco, and the San Francisco Assaying and Refining Works, and gave results varying from 13 . 01 dols. to 1861 . 09 dols. per ton. The District was visited in the month of October last by Mr. Henry Morgan, of 39, Jermyn-street, St. James' (in whose intel ligence and veracity the Directors place the utmost reliance), who was then travelling in America, said whose attention was directed to these wonderful discoveries. He was accompanied by men of sound practical knowledge, and by Dr. Cleveland, of San Francisco, a well-known scientific authority. In the pre sence of Mr. Morgan, and under his personal direction, nume rous samples of the ore were taken from all parts of the range and brought by him to England, for the purpose of being assayed. The following are the Certificates of Assay by Messrs. Johnson, Matthey, and Co., of Hatton-garden, and by the School of Mines, Jermyn-street, to whom such samples were submitted by Mr. Morgan : "Assay 0111cis and Ore Floors, November 23rd, , 1870.

" For DR. PERCY, "RICHARD SMITH." " Henry Morgan, Esq." As the object was to obtain a fair average assay of the ores taken from all the ledges, Mr. Morgan, after consulting with the authorities at the School of Mines, and Messrs, Johnson, Matthey, and Co., as to the best means of attaining that end, sent the whole of the samples to Messrs. Johnson, Matthey, and Co., with the request that they would break a piece from each, pound them together, and ascertain by every means in their power the commercial value of the ore. The following is the result of the assay of 1 90 of such specimens : " Assay Offices and Ore Floors, Nov. 28th, 1870. "CERTIFICATE OF ASSAY, For Henry Morgan, Esq. " We have examined the samples of mineral marked as under, and find the following to be the result : _ _ Average sample 'Taken front 190 specimens of mineral. " 2 qrs. 20 lb. Produce of silver, 139'5000z. per ton of 20 cwt. " JOHNSON, MATTHIY, & Co." The identity of the samples assayed in England is verified by a statutory declaration, which may be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. The account published by Mr. Morgan of his visit to the Mines, which accompanies the Prospectus, furnishes full details of the marvellous character of the properties which this Com pany has secured, and attention is particularly directed to the Plan, illustrating the peculiar fact that the mass of Ore which it is intended to work is above ground, and can be seen by any person visiting the spot, and the gross quantity ascertained. The usual scientific examinations to ascertain the contents and probable produce of Mines, are not, therefore, in this case necessary. The Vendors were the original owners of two sixth-parts of the property agreed to be sold to this Company, they have ex pended more than £30,000 in acquiring one other sixth-part, and are under engagements to pay the sum of £lOO,OOO for the re maining three-sixth parts. They have agreed to make over the whole to the Company for the sum of £400,000, of which £lOO,OOO is required to be paid in cash for the acquisition of the interest above-mentioned. A further £lOO,OOO will be paid in A Priority Shares fully paid-up, one half of which, however, and the remainder of the purchase-money, £200,000, to be paid in B or Deferred Shares, will not be delivered to the Vendors, but will be deposited in the hands of Charles Gilpin, Esq., M.P., and John Morris, Esq., as Trustees, until a dividend of 20 per cent. has been paid on the remaining A Share Capital. No divi dend is to be paid on the B Shares in any year until 20 per cent. has been paid on the A Share capital; but all profits beyond 20 per cent. per annum on the entire Capital will be divided be tween the A and B Shares, in their respective proportions. The Comstock Mines in the Virginia District, Nevada, which have yielded over 120;000,000 dollars, or £24,000,000 sterling, have for the last nine years crushed and extracted the Silver from 1,500 tons of Ore per day, even with the disadvantage of the Ore being underground, and steam-power being necessary. The Ore of the Ledges belonging to this Company being a soft chloride, may be crushed and amalgamated at the rate of 2 tons per diem for each stamp head ; and as it is on the surface, there will be no expense for raising, and no fuel nor steam-power is required. The working cost, therefore, will be amply covered by the estimate of £2 per ten per diem. The supply of Ore being inexhaustible, it is proposed to com mence with the erection of 126 Stamps, equa l to the reduction of 250 tons - daily, the estimated outlay for which will be £Bl,OOO, viz. :- 125 Stamps complete, with Amalgamators, &c.—say at £4oo'each • • Tramway, Waggons, ite. .. • • Building, Water-wheels, &c.

From the assays and calculations above-mentioned, it results that, with the working capital which will be at their disposal, the Company will be enabled to crush and extract silver from at least 250 tons of ore per diem. The average assays shew more £lB4 Subscribers may pay the full etileunt in advacne on allotment or on any of the above-mentioned daye, and upon such payments discount at the rate of £4 par cent. per annum will be allowed. In case default be made in payment on allotnient o or of any of the instalments on the days named, the allotment will be liable to be cancelled, and the amounts then already paid forfeited. Upon payment of the allotment money, Scrip Certificates to Bearer will be issued to the Subscribers, which will be exchanged for the Bonds, as soon us possible after payment of the whole amount of the subscription, The United Canal and Railroad Companies of New Jersey, upon whose mortgage security the above Bonds are issued, consist of " The Camden and Amboy Railroad and Transporta tion Company," "The Delaware and Raritan Canal Company," and "The New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company," who, by agreement between themselves under authority of the Legislature of New Jersey, have been united into one interest and under one management, by which ail end was put to the competition previously existing. These Railway and Canal Companies form three avenues of traffic between New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Wash ington, as well as the country south and west. They are amongst the oldest and most successful of all the Railroad Companies of the United States, and have always been con spicuous for their Very able and judicious administration. The paid-up Share Capital of the Companies amounts to $10,550,000, and the entire Bond and Funded Debt of the Com panies (including the £309,200 Sterling Bonds issued in 1869, and the present issue of £500,000) are covered by Mortgage Security representing $20,000,000, or £4,000,000. The aggregate gross earnings of the Companies are nearly $8,000,000 per annum. The Dividends paid on the Share Cepital are 10 per cent. The net earnings heretofore accumu lated in excess of profits divided as Dividend are upwards of $1,000,000, which has been expended in the Works, and is not represented in the Share or Loan Capital. It will thus be seen that a very large margin of net income will remain after providing for interest on the Bond debt, together with a Sinking Fund fonts redemption, equal to '2 per cent. currency per annum on the amount of the Loan, which *ill be paid semi-annually to, and accumulated by, the " Fidelity Trust and Safe Deposit Company of Philadelphia." It may be mentioned, as an evidence of the value attached its the United States to this property, that the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company has recently offered to lease it in perpetuity, paying, in addition to the interest on the debt, a dividend of 10 per cent. per annum to the holders of the common stbek of the Companies. This proposal is now under consideration. The principal secured by the Bonds is made repayable at par in 1894, and the Coupons for interest, at the rate of £6 per cent. per annum, will be made payable half-yearly, on the Ist Sep tember and Ist March in tacli year ; the first half-yearly pay ment will fall due let September next. All payments will be made in London, in sterling money, clear of all taxation in the United States. _ _ . Application; to be made to Messrs. J. A.

Mr. Bruce saw no reason why he should offer any obstacle to the passing of the bill, but said the Government consemplated introducing at an early day a general measure, dealing with the very diffi cult and important subject of the pollution of rivers. upon which they felt very strongly. He feared they would not be able to do so this session with justice to other questions affecting public interests which were pressing upon them, but he hoped at any rate that in the follow. ing session the subject would have the attention which it demands.

GLADSTONE AND THE POPE.—At a meeting of the Established Presbytery of Edinburgh, the following motion was proposed by the Rev. D r . Nisbet, Edinburgh : —" The Presbytery having had their attention called to the letter of Mr. Gladst me to Mr. Dease, of date Novem ber 20, 1870, are of opinion that certain expressions in that letter afford just cause for apprehension and alarm ; that the maintenance of the spiritual dignity and inde pendence of the head of the Church of Rome in the exer acisßeroitfialhiisGsopvireirtnumalefnutn, c a t i i i o d ns is f a orm t v s ar li a o n p ee ar i t vi o t f h T h e e d c u o t n y s t o i f . tution of this Protestant kingdom ; and they appoint a committee to watch over any steps that may be taken to r to thea as give effect to the opinion which Mr. Gladstone has indi cated."

GREAT FIRE IN PRESTON.—On Thursday after noon a fire broke out in Bloomfield Mill, off the North road, Preston- belonging to Mr. Richard Threlfall, which, after raging for several hours, resulted in the complete destruction of the premises. The mill, which is five stories high, had in it nearly 28,000 spindles and a con siderable quantity of other machinery. After a consi derable stoppage it was only recently started, the number of operatives employed ffbing about 500. Shortly before two in the afternoon flames were seen in the spinning de partment on the ground floor. The efforts of the hands to extinguish them were unavailing. The Fire Brigade was sent for, and on its arrival the flames were spreading very rapidly. The floors and roof fell in, and nothing remained for the brigade but to save the adjoining pro perty. A mill belonging to Mr. Naylor stood only a few yards off. Some of its windows, owing to the heat, were broken. One of the principal walls Of the burning mill fell upon a weaving shed ; another is expected to fall against the factory named. All . the cotton cloth was stripped from the looms soon after the fire broke out, and was saved. The fire burnt with great fury, the floors being old and oily. It was extinguished about seven or eight o'clock. The store room for cotton on the north east side was saved. The fire is supposed to have originated through frictio n i n some p ar t o f th e mac hi nery. Th damage is estimated at about £30,000 ; the mill was insured, but not fully. Five hundred hands will be thrown out of work.
