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

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

Fcap. Svo., price ss.

" The author of 'Dreamlan l' and ' Aletheia' has ,risen to a
height so very close to the summit of genius, that he may be
commiserates 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, topio, and
illusion: the landscape is most luxurious; and the nans:c of
verse excellent."—Literary Budget.

"Mr. Rent has undelltable meritii—Warm and high-toned
feeling, a pleasant combination bf grace and humour, and no
small power to individualise. ' Pope at Twickenham' is a
cabinet picture. ' Marianne' will commend itself to ail
motiers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint-
ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidor' shows what
Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when
he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if
Lance had painted it."—Athemtum.
"The Charm of Mr. Keht'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 he is truly poet gild
-not egotist. Brit it is by no means his only merit. Ile is a Inas-
ter of versification. The flow or his verso is smooth and me-
lodious, and enriched with a copious an'd 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. the 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 'Malicia' 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;, tastes."—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 pow& the
`Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while
his capacity to make word-music is shown in The Morris
Dance, s."--The Press.
"It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the
depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English
Song, by devoting; the outpourings of his Muse to their
special illustration. There is not one of the many pictures
here collected which is not perfect in all its parts -whether
we consider 'he sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth
of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a
thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an
admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of
most mellifluous verse, so that, while the mind is fully
gratified, the senses—so to speak—are equally charmed."—

THE SLAVE TRADE.
Lord BROUGHAM brought the subject of the treaty
with America for thl suppression of the slave trade under
the attention of theiFlordshlps,
In reply to Which tarl RUSSELL promised to make a
statement on the matter on Friday next.
'ACT OF UNIFORMITY AMENDMENT BILL.
Lord EBURY rose to move the second reading of this
bill, which he considered one of great importance. He
commenced by referring to steps he had taken on a former
occasion to obtain A royal commission to consider the
changes necessary in the liturgy, which for a period of two
centuries had remained without alteration or modification.
On the first night of the session he intrcduced two bills on the
subject of the form of religious worship, but as they had been
withdrawn he would not then make further reference than
to say that at the proper time he should be perfectly
ready to defend them. He was also fully aware of
the extreme difficulty and delicacy that surrounded
the present subject, especially as the terms of the Act
of Uniformity had remained so long without alteration.
A.ccordiag to the act as it at present stood, every clergyman
appointed to a benefice was called upon to make a subscrip-
tion that ho would conform to the liturgy, and that
he accepted everything contained in the Book of
Common Prayer. t ven with respect to the pre-
sent translation of the Bible, he thought that
such a declaration was too rigid, but with respect to the
Book of Common Prayer, ho was convinced that if the act
had to be passed over again not one of their lordships
would be found to vindicate such an enactment.

The Bishop of LONDON gave the noble lord credit for
his intentions, and admitted that the bill was an improve•
ment upon its author's previous attempts at legislation. Ho
thought, however, that it was so important a matter to dis-
turb an act which had existed for two centuries, that he
hoped the noble lord would not divide the house upon it.
The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S also opposed the bill, but
suggested some less objectionable modification in the form
of the declaration which the clergy were required to make.
Lord LYTTELTQN, whilst not opposed to a revision of
the Liturgy, thought the bill of too sweeping a character to
receive their lordships' assent. It would be most unwise
to abolish the only security a congregation now possessed
for the adherence of their clergy to the Book of Common
Prayer without providing some substitute.
The Earl of SHAFTESBTJRY pointed out the danger of
liturgical revision at the present moment, and recommended
that the bill should be withdrawn, in the hope that the
clergy themselves might be induced to concur in some safe
arrangement for giving relief to tender consciences.
Earl RUSSELL contrasted the present age, remarkable
for inquiry and the exercise of independent judgment, with
the period in which these tests were adopted, when men
banded together to obtain the emoluments of the Church
whilst not believing in the doctrines which she taught.
There were many men of Christian piety and zeal who in
these days were unable to subscribe to the declaration en-
forced by this test, and it was a great misfortune that the
Church should lose their services. The bill, however, went
too far in that it abolished the only standard now existing
in the Church by which the clergy were separated from the
great body of Dissenters.
The Bishop of OXFORD was of opinion that no greater
injury could be inflicted upon the Church than to allow the
clergy to receive her emoluments without declaring their
belief in her doctrines. He had no faith in the assertion
that hundreds and thousands of young men were forced
into dissent on account of their objection to this test. The
noble lord who had introduced the bill was, in fact, trifling
with a great subject, and it was a mistake to suppose that
after a clergyman had subscribed the test he was precluded
from changing his opinions. Full liberty of conscience
was allowed him, and if he saw cause to adopt views which
were contrary to the doctrines of the Church it was only
right that he should resign the office he held in it.
After a few observations from the Bishop of SALIS-
BURY, the bill was withdrawn.
The Leases, &c., by Incumbents Restriction Act Amend-
ment Bill, the Public-house (Scotland) Act Amendment
Bill, and the Local Government Supplemental Bill wore
severally read a second time.
Their lordships adjourned at a quarter-past eight.

EDUCATION IN IRELAND.
Mr, HENNESSY gave notice that on that day month be
would submit a resolution to the house on the subject of
education in Ireland.
MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.
Mr. WHALLEY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether he was prepared to give effect to the recommenda-
tion in that part of the report of the commissioners ap-
pointed, in the year 1853, to inquire into the manage-
ment and government of the College of Maynooth, that
" a calendar be annually published by the co llege,
stating the names of the several students who have left
the college after the completion of the course, and their
respective destinations; its alumni at the time alive, and
the places in which they were severally performing their
functions."
Sir R. PEEL said that he was not then prepared to state
whether he would give effect to the recommendations in
question, but he did not se© why the College of Maynooth
should not publish a calendar similar to that of the univer-
sities of Oxford and Cambridge.
THE DEFENCE COMMISSIONERS.

In reply to Mr. GREGORY,
Lord C. PAGET said that in the abkence of the Secre-
tary of War, he could not state when the evidence taken
