The Union Bank of h eland is established to supply addi-
tional banking accommodation in Dublin, and throu 2 hout the
chief cities and towns in Ireland. The management of the
Bank will be vested in a Board of Directors in London, as-
sisted as circumstances may render expedient by local com-
mittees in Dublin and elsewhere in Ireland.
It is more than a quarter of a century since any new bank
was established In Ireland, and when it is considered that
during this interval the resources of the country have been
developed in an extraordinary degree by the railroad system,
and the impro-ed value and cultivation of the land, and that
there has not been a corresponding increase of basking ac-
commodation it will at once be conceded that there is ample
room for the introduction of another substantial joint stock
bank in that portion of the United Kingdom.
The following statement shows the present position of the
leading joint stock banks in Ireland, and indicates the marked
success which these institutions have now attained, viz. :

Mit. CHARLES KENT'S NEW POEMS.
Just published,

DR EA M LAN D. With other Poems.
By W. CHARLES KENT, Barrister-at-Law.

Fcap. Bvo., price Gs.
" The author of 'Dreamlan i' and Alethei:,' has risen to a
height so very close to the summit of genius, that he may be
commiserated for his inability to grapple with the last peaks
of its elevation. There is abundance of talent, a delicate
taste, an endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and
illusion: the landscape is most luxurious; and the music of
verse excellent."—Literary Budget.
"Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned
feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no
small power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham' is a
cabinet picture. Marianne' will commend itself to all
mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint-
ance with baby. riles and mysteries. Fructidoe shows what
Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when
1,, ciie AMU well CllitlilA.A.Crlbt:U 4.
Lance had painted it."—Athenmum.
"The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi-
tion of success to all poets, Is that he is in sympathy with his
subject and not only with himself ; that lie is truly poet and.
not egotist. Bat it is by no means his only merit. He is a mas-
ter of versification. The flow or his verse is smooth and me-
lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary.
Shelley at Marlow' Is a painting exquisitely delicate. The
vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost
perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a work conceived in a noble
spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with
flashes of true poetic inspiration. Hie Dying Bridegroom'
is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be-
lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story
of the affections."—The London Review.

"Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan-
tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already
agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of
the day. His `Aletheia' was very favourably received by the
public, and has no doubt been the companion of many
thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume
from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic
sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that
of Scott. There is something in the lines that will remind
the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull.

" Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious,
and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with
elegant taslesP—,-Daily News.
" Poems of very considerable excellence. Fructidor 'is a
very close and vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr.
Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct
in composition, and contains many happy touches of true
fancy, very gracefully expressed." —The Critic.
"The pictures Mr. Kent makes are carefully drawn and
effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste.
It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of
intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art-
World.

• • ----
" We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than
`Dreamland.' He is a real poet, unquestionably, and often
versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the
' Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : whi!e
his capacity to make word-musio is shown in ' The Morris
Dance. s.' "—The Press.
