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 daunts, 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. '—Athenmum. "Mr. Charles Kent, the Editor of `The Sun,' ranks very high as a poet."—Publishers' Circular. "The versatility of style, and the fresh andsigorons Friting 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, lie 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 rehigned 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. " 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 before the radiant approach of the Spirit of Truth, 'Aletheia.'

FUNDS are very urgently NEEDED= Bankers, London and South Western (Holloway Branch). HUGH COUGH, Hon. Sec. LAW AND POLICE. BREACH OF PROMISE.-At the Court of Exchequer the case of " Parrer v. Coley " was heard. It was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded only that he did not make the promise. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Webster appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. G. Francis for the defendant. The plaintiff, Julia Parker, aas a seamstress, employed in the City, and living with her mother, a widow, at Islington, and was in her 20th year. The defendant, William Coley, was a few years older, and was the son of a pawnbroker in Essex-road, in the same locality, of whose business it was said he had a share. The plrties became acquainted with each other when they were children, in consequence of their parents residing close together, and it seemed that at the beginning of last year, after a separation of about two years, they accidentally met in the street and renewed the inti macy. In a short time the defendant made an offer of marriage, but the plaintiff at first did not think he was sincere, as their positions in life were so different, and told him so. He, however, satisfied the plaintiff upon that point, and the offer was accepted, After the courtship had continued for seven months a coolness was observed in the defendant's manner, and on being taxed with it he confessed he did not like the girl as well as he had done, and that he preferred the society of his friends. He also led her to believe that his family objected to the marriage because she had no money. At last he intimated . that he did not intend to keep his promise. No evidence was given for the defence. The jury, after deliberating for a short time in the box, gave a verdict for the plaintiff— damages £250. THE ROMANTIC WILL CAUSE.—In the Probate Court, the case of Berdoe v. Smeeton was concluded. The testator was a Mr. Lane, who was possessed of £6,000 and would have come into possession of £12,000 more had he attained the. age of 25 years. At 23 he died from the effects of excessive drinking. Previous to this he was en gaged to a Miss Smeeton, the daughter of a photographer and by his first will left her £l,OOO. When lying on the sofa in a semi-drunken condition, apparently asleep, he heard his intended wife say to her sister that she only cared for the testator for his money. He then altered his will, leaving all his property to his stepmother. This will was disputed on the ground of undue influence. After a three days' trial, the jury were locked up four hours and a half, and were then discharged without coming to a verdict. This is the third time within a fortnight that juries in this court have been unable to agree. A GOVERNMENT CLERK. —ln a cause in the Lord Mayor's Court, a clerk in the Admiralty was summoned to shew why he had not paid certain monies as ordered by the registrar of the court. The defendant said that he received £l4O per annum, and bad a wife and five children. lie had not, until a few months ago received any salary, as his quarterly cheques were " hypothecated," by an arrangement with the accountant. The present debt was for a loan, for which he paid at the rate of 890 per cent.— Mr. Registrar Ovandon said that undoubtedly that was a was worth it to the defendant. He must pay the l arge percentage; but be supposed that at the time the moneymoney by monthly instalments. The following is a lengthened report of the case of " Currie v. Currie," heard in the Court of Common Pleas: — Mr. Seymour, counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. George Currie, said that in this suit the ordinary position of the parties was reversed, for the gentleman was the plaintiff, and the lady was the defenuant. He had had some experience in cases of this kind, and he had sometimes tried to imagine what set of circumstances would justify a gentleman in being a plaintiff, and asking compensation for a breach of prondse of marriage ; but when the jury had heard the facts he believed that they would think that this was the case. The plaintiff was about 27 years of age, and he was the eldest son of a farmer in Wales, who farmed from 300 to 400 acres of land. He believed there would be no attempt to suggest that the proposed marriage was not a suitable and proper one. The plaintiff and the defendant were cousins, and the plaintiff's father and mother, and the defendant's aunt, had sanctioned the marriage ; and at one time everything seemed to indicate that the marriage would surely be consummated. With regard to the young lady, she was possessed of very considerable personal attrac tions, and beyond this she had a fortune in her own right, a dower of 1:6,000 and upwArds. In 1869 the defendant was on a visit at Leamington for some months, and the plaintiff also stayed there for a short time. An attach ment sprung up between them, and it was arranged that they should be married. At that time the defendant was a minor, but she would come of age on the 15th Novem ber, 1870, and it was proposed by her, and acceded to by him, that the marriage should not take place until she was able tb dispose, not only of herself, but of her fortune also. In the meantime she continued to reside in the house of her uncle, but a constant corres pondence was kept up between them. There had no doubt been a very considerable correspondence. Here, said the learned counsel, is the correspondence on my side (holding up a brief containing forty or fifty sheets.) (Laughter.) My friend tells me that lam wrong, arid that it is only half of it. (Renewed laughter.) And the correspondence on the part of the lady was not wanting in violence of sentiment or in quantity of paper. Here is hers (holding up another large brief.) (Laughter.) He, in continuation, said that the jury need not be afraid that he was going to read the whole of the letters to them, but he would just call their attention to a paragraph here and there from them, just to indicate the state of feeling on the part of both the lovers. The first letter to which he would refer was dated August 12, 1869, and it was addressed to " My dearest George," and said—" Many thanks for your most welcome letter of last night. lam glad to hear that you were at Aylesbury. How strange you must have felt, being one gentleman to thirteen young ladies. (A laugh.) I hope you saw there some there that you were smitten with. I have been nowhere since you left ; I don't care to go out alone, I want yon and you only. However, I live on what you wrote to me, and I do sincerely trust that nothing will ever change me. I am quite ashamed of you George. The idea! You assume that I should be proud of all my cousins but you. I am quite ashamed of you for saying such a thing. If anything alters you, and you should wish to break it off it will be the end of me." The writer signed herself, "Ever yours, dearest George," and she wound up most appropriately with a bit of poetry : Oh, would I were a bird, That I might fly to thee, To breathe one only word To one so dear to me. (Laughter.) Oh August 10 she wrote :—" Oh, George, you need not be afraid of my flirting with any one now ; I could not possibly do it. Since you left, I 'care for nothing. I have not been into the gardens once, for I do not care to meet anybody. I live for you ; you have my first and only love, and with it you will always remain. I do trust you will never repent it ; and she concluded, " Dearest George, Yours . till death." Another letter alluded to the receipt of some present from the plaintiff, and said—" I trust, my darling, that at the end of fifteen months you will be in the same mind. When I am of age no one can say a word to me ; so do not fear, for that is secure." In another letter she said, " I have given you my heart, and with it my first and only love, there fore what motive should I have for change? Oh, no, my darling, there will be no change in me," and the end was, " With heaps of love and millions of kisses, I remain, my darling George, yours ever." On the 30th November, she said, " I pray that next Christmas Day we may both be together. Oh, George, how happy shall we be. What happiness can be so great as being with one you love, doing all in your power for those you love best on earth. When I think of the happiness that awaits me, lam quite carried away." She con tinued, " I will tell you something that will amuse you," and she then alluded to a person of whom they would hear more in the course of the case. " A gentleman, a Spaniard, saw my carte at a newly-married friend of mine's house, and he has quite fallen over head and heels in love, and he wants an introduction, and intends coming down here. He, however, is too late in the field, for I have given my best love." Again she said, "That young Spaniard told me last night that he wished he was the happy fellow in my locket ; but I told him that no one other would ever fill that place of love. Of course I have • shewn him you in it, as I wear you next myself every day ; and I take the locket out to look at you, and so you are always in my thoughts." On the 14th June she appealed to "My own ever darling George," to "Thank goodness only four more months longer, if we are both spared, we shall arrange the day if you are still un changed in your feelings towards me. You know my own darling you can trust me for ever, and I am sure I can you." On the 25th November she hopes he will not be angry at her "asking to put off our wedding until early iu the beginning of January, as early then as you like, my pet," and on the 28th she said, " Mrs. BroWn has persuaded me to be married in white silk, and, as I shall be able to wear it afterwards, I certainly think it will be nicest." On the 6th December she reminded him that it was only about a month before they would be one for ever and ever, and beyond the power of anyone to sever them, and on the 15th she said had been thinking " that if the 19th of January would suit you we might as well fix on that day and determine that nothing should alter it." Accordingly the 19th was fixed on, and on that day the defendant was married;' but not to the plaintiff. (Laughter.) On December 26th she was at her aunt's house at Stratford, from which it was arranged that she should be married, and wrote, " Oh, how 1 long to' kiss and hug you, my own pet, that is, if you will love me. Won't you, darling ?" On the 29th December again addressed her "Ever darling George." The juLy would hardly believe it when he told them that on the evening previous to writing that letter, a conversation and an interview of a remarkable kind had been had by the defendant, and Mr. Martini was introduced, and she told her aunt, " Oh, it is all up; I have made up my mind to marry the Spaniard." Next morning she took the plaintiff's likeness from her locket, and on the 2nd January she sent all his letters back. On the 3rd she N a y you will to be wrote :—" Dear George, l and y iu as t s much surprised to learn from this letter that I have elected to break off our marriage, d t u le b nna tn d appear, wholly I regard release this you theadnedcismioyns,elfhofrwoemvei. g sudden final.

Fernandez Martini. There was one other little matter which the jury should know, and that was that in anticipation of the marriage, the plaintiff had spent £3OO or £4OO in preparing a residence for her who he thought would soon become his wife. Mr. Denman (for the defendant) called no witnesses, but whilst admitting that his client had wronged the plaintiff, he submitted that an action of this kind, brought, by a man, was not one that ought to meet with any en courgement. The jury, after considering the matter for a few tsllnutes, found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £250., Sir M. D.
