"' Cloth is embrace several new and asto n i s hi ng F eats . strange," wrote Lord BYRoN, " stranger than fiction." The words are trite—but they have become so through repetition simply because they are true. Take the very last published number of the unpretending periodical We are here alluding to—No. 71, vol. vii., under date this very Ist of January, 1869—open it almost anywhere you please (there are only 32 pages in all, so that it cannot possibly take much time doing precisely as we are here sug gesting) —open it almost anywhere you please, and put our observations simply to the test. Here they are, these actual services, not merely imaginary descriptions of " perillous 'scapcs and hair-breadth adventures" —here they are, these brief and matter-of-fact records of deeds of daring positively done—not off China or at the An tipodes, but here close at hand, off the coast of England ; and that, moreover, not very recently, but within this last quarter—Braunton, Devon —Scarbc rou g h, Yorkshire Mullion, Corn wall I Llanddwyn, Anglesey —and so forth, here they all are ! Read the record as it is here brought home to us —read the little tale of the Ramsgate Life-Boat, writ ten by the parish rector of that well-known water ing place, the Rev. J. GILMORE, of Holy Trinity, Ramsgate —a tale called " Saved at Last," and now tranferred to The Life Boat from the August number of Olacnzillan's Magazine—read the whole of the little publication from title to imprimatur, and then say whether, upon this New Year's Day we .have not had reason, full and abundant, for speaking as we have spoken of this noble, benevo lent association known as the Royal National Life boat Institution. The readers of the Cornhill will find a good deal of entertainment in the story entitled " That Boy of Norcott's." The adventures of the young hero are out of the common in every respect. " Compara tive Mythology," is a suggestive article which puts before one the principle that underlies all mythology, and enumerates the different writers who from time to time have made inquiries and investi gations into the subject. This science, which is as yet but in its infancy, is declared to be im portant as regards its connection with the mental history of the human race. " Christmas Eve" is an appropriate selection for this season. It is a poem by Count Brasinski, paraphrased from the Polish by Mr. Robert Lytton, who prefaces it by an interesting sketch. This poem has hitherto been passed over by English critics, and yet it has passages of great merit, a n d its descriptions are given with considerable effect. Some exciting adventures are met with in the sketch " From an Island." "On Relics Ecclesiastical" is the title of a paper that may he commended to the notice of the student, for its interesting account of the noticeable legends and traditions that are connected with this sub ject. " Lettice Lisle" is a very pleasing tale, and the young heroine is in bright contrast to the rough characters around her. The descriptions of the scenery are admirably done, and likely to be generally attractive. A great deal of mystery has attached itself to the institution of the " Vehm," in Germany, and hence it will not come amiss to many to peruse the details here furnished of a trial and condemnation by that ancient tribunal. MACMILLAN. Dean Stanley contributes to Macmillan's Magazine a most admirable paper on the late Dean Milman. The living dean thinks the dead dean a model man. " His severe taste, his nicely-balanced judgment, his abundant knowledge, his keen appreciation of the varied forms of literary excellence, enabled him to keep always above, and at the same almostalways in sympathy with the intellectual move ments of the age. Of no one else in his time would it have been possible that whilst regarded as an oracle of grave learning and lofty speculation by ecclesiastics of almost every party, he yet should, with perfect congruity, have been chosen by Mr. Locker as the one fitting man to whom to dedicate the light and graceful charms of the ' Lyra Elegantiarum ;' or that he, as dean of the cathe dral of the metropolis, should, without offence, have assisted at the performance of a play of his own at the Italian Theatre." In his usual felicitous manner Dean Stanley goes on to apply the text of his sermon to the present age. Dr. Milman was one of the most honest and industrious scholars that ever lived. He did not, as many men have done, consider that fame attained early in life was a reason why he should rest for the remainder. One great work was succeeded by another, each more laborious, each more splendid than the last. The learned ease of a Westminster canonry and of the St. Paul's deanery was used by him merely as opportunities for harder and more substantial work. It is difficult to believe that this patriarch of literature, this divine whose histories are the text-books of schools, whose hymns are sung in Ritualist churches and Dissenting chapels, was once the best-abused man in England. " Those who were but children at the time can remember the horror created in remote rural districts by a rumour that a book had appeared in which Abraham was described as a Sheykh.' In Oxford the book was denounced from the University pulpit. It is even said that more serious measures were proposed. Condemnations by Convocation, prosecutions before the Court of Arches had, happily, not yet come into fashion. But so vast and deep was the suspicion and alarm excited by the work that it brought to a sudden and untimely end the interesting and useful series of the Family Library of which it formed a part." Milman not only lived but wrote down this senseless clamour, and while maintaining a calm and lofty silence in spite of fierce attacks he had the pleasure to see this foolish out cry die away, and himself chosen by the very university which had proposed to censure him, to preach sermons on the subjects which had aroused donnish indignation, and in the very pulpit whence he had been anathematised. There is a lesson for us all here if we will only learn it. The interest of this article is increased by extracts from the forthcoming posthumous " Annals of St. Paul's Cathedral," which Dean Stanley takes from the advanced sheets of the work. Of the other articles I must speak brisfly, though I could say much in praise of Mr. Farrar's interesting and most clever parallel between philology and such sciences as geology and botany. Mr. Norman Lockyer tells of recent solar discoveries ; Mr. John Morley reviews Professor Yonge's " Life of Lord Liverpool," and Mr. J. A. Symonds Mr. Brownbig's new poem. Dr. George Macdonald con tributen a slight story ; and the first part of a new serial tale is given, but on which I decline to give an opinion at present. The poetry is tolerable, scarcely more..

Colonial loans have been in great favour, although the enthusiasm for colonial securities has not been so great as last year. All the loans brought forward have been taken up with avidity at very satisfactory prices. The railway market has presented some very important features. Many of the difficulties that surrounded most of the leading companies have been overcome, the Great attributed Eastern, f or example, hav i ng o b ta i ned a release from Chancery. be Thissatisfactory in a ge a t measure, th inay, administra tiveeable tal en t s of the Marquis of Salisbury. The resumption of s p ec i e paymen t s b y th e G reat Western, and the exten s i on of the M i dland and Metropolitan lines, are to progress also events of the year. But the great feature is the issue of Dehentere Stocks, whereby the terminable debts of the various railways are in process of gradual consolidation. When this very desirable end is attained the com panies will be enabled to withdraw from the market as borrowers of loans for short periods, and in this way will obtain relief from a pres sure that was at times highly detrimental to their interests. The Regulation of Railways Act will secure us a uniformity of accounts, a very desirable object, and will prevent much of that mystification of the position and prospects of the companies which the recent revelations in Chancery and elsewhere have made us so familiar with. The traffic receipts have not, as a rule, increased in propor tion to the extension of the lines, and the Scotch and Irish rail ways are in an unsatisfactory position. Railwayenterpriseis not thriving in the latter country, and the probability of Government interference is regarded with satisfaction. On the whole, however, the British railway share market closes with much improved prospects as compared with the opening of the year, and better things are anticipated for the future. The low price of money and the restriction of trade have operated adversely on the quotations for joint-stock bank shares, and values have been further affected ky the recent Act which prevents speculation in this descrip tion of security. Financial shares have been very dull, and it has now been proved beyond a doubt that most of the schemes floated by the finance companies were in herently rotten, and that the fabulous profits which were represented to have been made, if they existed at all, existed on paper only. Telegraph shares have been somewhat excited, owing to the Government having determined to take over the monopoly. The prices to be paid by the State were such as to materially raise their market value, and the quotations have been rapidly on the advance. It now only remains for us to take a short review of the Consol market. The year has been unusually free from disquieting rumours from the Continent, although, at one time, the warlike attitude assumed by France and by Prussia threatened the peace of Europe. The Spanish difficulty exerted little influence upon the market, but on a re-opening of the Turkish question becoming not improbable, a downward tendency set in. The fall of Magdala and the collapse of the Tory Cabinet gave considerable firmness to prices, while the rejection of Mr. Gladstone's resolutions on the subject of the Irish Church did not cause the fall that was anticipated. The active demand for bona „f ide investment at one time forced the quotation to OGI, while the lowest price of the year was 911 ex die. The obituary of the year has been, happily, brief. Foremost among our leading men who have "joined the great majority," is Lord BROUGILM, poli tician, lawyer, orator, scientist, philanthropist, amnium senile man, in fact. Sir DAVID BREWSTER was Lord BROUGHA3I'S equal in science ; Lord CHAN WORTH was not his equal in politics or law; Lord WENSLEYDALE was probably more than his equal; all four are equal in the dust. The Church has been deprived of Bishop lIAmPDEN—once a name of re proach, but for many years past belonging to the most inoffensive bishop on the English bench—of Bishop JEUNE, of Archbishop LONGLEY. The State has lost few of its eminent men, and we find it hard to name any public servant, save Justice SHEE and Sir RICHARD MAYNE, who was scarcely eminent.. Literature has lost its patriarch, Dean MILMAN, Sir EDMUND MEAD, EYRE CROWE, EDWARD JESSE, ' SAMUEL LOVER, DOUGLAS Coon, of the Saturday Review; and the drama has lost CHARLES KEAN and STIRLING COYNE. Music had long lost ROSSINI as a composer, and he has now finished his life some forty years after he had finished his career. Art no longer reckons CAnmicllA.E.E, WYON, DOYLE, WEIINERT, CATTERMOLE, LE KEUX, and ABRAHAM COOPER. The list of illustrious deceased foreigners contains the names of WALEWSKI, son of the First NAPOLEON, counsellor of the Third ; BEnnYErt, the bat(mnier of the French bar; FOUCAULT, the natural philosopher ; MATTEUCI, the mathematican ; Marshal NARVAEZ, the Spanish, and THADDEUS STEVENS, the American politician. Altogether the losses of the year have been compa ratively few. Annus lethalis is not a term that can fairly be applied to 1808. The Sunday Magazine contains a story appropriate to the season—" A Christmas Evening in the Eighteenth Century." There is a moral for the young, in the sad fortunes of some of its heroes and heroines. Bella Verder's life was not what might have been.expected from her brilliant youth, but her last days were peaceful, and the conclusion of the eventful story is satisfactory. " A Christmas Carol" is a pleasing sketch in verse of the chief events of the birth of Christ. "Earnest Words for Earnest Men" is on the subject of the Gospel to the doubting, and puts truths before one in a simple and effective style. It is too much the habit in the present day to express doubts about everything, and the doubter at last finds himself a hero ; but this is not the right meaning of Christ's Gospel. " Happy Bob's Christmas Treat " is a charming sketch, that raises the memories of the good old days of fun and frolic, when Christmas was kept in a more hearty fashion than it is at present, and far, more universal merriment prevailed. Bob's entertainment was of an unpolished character, but the spirit of enjoyment was not wanting, and his young guests entered fully into the meaning of his teachings. It was altogether the sort of " treat" to dwell in the recollection when more staid and sober entertainments were forgotten, or recollected only as feasts in name and not in deed. " The Year" contains some warnings and encouragements to the young pilgrims on life's road, and they are earnestly advised to be firm and constant, to stay not on the march, but " press on, upwards, onwards, heavenwards, homewards." THE CONTEMPORARY. In the Contemporary Dean Alford moralises at some length on that excellent text—the meeting of the S.P.C.K. His description of that memorable scene contains some neat touches, but, perhaps, in this case, if there had been less description and more deduction the article would have Fained. A dean' s re p resen t a ti on o f t h e gat h er i ng at t h e reemasons' Tavern must from the nature of things be a failure. The narrow escape of the Low Church party on that occasion is attributed to defective organisation. Whilst the supporters of the amendment were united as one man, many of them, in fact, sacrificing their convic tione for what they esteemed the good of thoir cause, the supporters of the committee were but a fraction of their party, for every one present there were a dozen left behind. The attack will certainly be renewed at no distant day, and the only hope of encountering it with safety lies in effective organisation. Dean Alford does not enter this month into his scheme of organisation, but he recommends a beginning in the way of reforming the organs of the party. Few will be inclined to question the necessity of this change. Taken in bulk, the ecclesiastical newspapers of the day are simply disgracefu'. The paper on "La Lanterne " is very interesting. It consists wholly of a digest—extracts, with a few explanatory remarks—of the famous weekly pamphlet of M. Henri Rochefort. But as this paper was suppressed in France with such extraordinary rigour that hardly a complete set of num bers remains in the country, the opportunity of ascertain. ing what M. Rochefort did say, and how he said it, is by no means valueless. These extracts form a decisive answer to the absurdly unjust criticisms of the Saturday Reriew. M. Rochefort hated his opponents with - .indiscriminatin g vehemence, and frequently sacrificed wisdom to wit ; but of the genius displ a y e d i n L a L an t erne t h ere can be no doubt whatever. The manner in which this journal was treated is a sufficient testimony to its merits. No other press prosecution, even of the Second Empire, was so arbitrary and lawless. Next follows a series of fine articles on clerical and kindred subjects, of which "An Irish Churchman's View of Irish Politics" is one of the best. Its merit is not a little owing to the fact that it contains a minimum of dissertation on the Irish Church, and a great deal that is interesting on other important Irish topics. The section on Education is particularly well deserving of notice, and the whole paper, I doubt not, will be read with pleasure in these days, when discussion on Irish politics is tinged rather with party spirit than with a desire to discover the truth. Dr. Hannah continues the discussion on the attitude of the clergy towards scientific investigation. Professor Plumtree contributes a fine article on " Marcus Aurelius and the' almud;" and the Rev. Thomas Markby brings up the rear with some remarks on " Cholera," which would be more useful if their purpose were better defined. Totals •• • ..

Advances forPublieWorks,&c. 410,720 Suri,l FOREIGN politics have retained most of their in terest during the past year. In Europe one reigning sovereign, Prince MICHAEL of SERVIA, has been assassinated, and another, the Queen of SPAIN, has abdicated. The first event has not exercised any apparent influence on continental politics. The second, as no less a person than Count lirsmAncx has lately declared, saved Europe from a great war. But _ _ 1,00.:,000 THE year which has just come to a conclusion has been a :ngularly uneventful one, and must be regarded, on the whole, as having been unfavourable for the expansion of trade. Nevertheless, it will always be remembered in commercial history as the period of reaction after one of the severest panics ever experienced in the commercial world. This period of reaction has been long drawn out, and has continued long after there was any necessity or ground for distrust. The great collapse which termi nated the period of inflation in 1f66 left behind it a dis credit upon commercial circles which was not altogether without foundation, but which has been carried to an mmoderate excess. The timidity which has characterised capitalists and investors during the past year is altogether as foolish as was the temerity of two or three years since. 1867 was a period of cheap money, but in 1868 money has ranged lower even than in. 1867, and this must be regarded is the principal feature of the year from a financial point )f view. The minimum official rate of discount during 1863 was 2 per cent., which rate continued without alte.ra iion from the_Ath of July, 1867, to the 18th of November or this " accident" of the Spanish Revolution, as the - - Prussian Minister called it, war would have broken , out between France and Prussia in the autumn. The " Eastern Question," as the maintenance of the ' Turkish Empire is vaguely called, has once more passed out of the chronic into the acute stage, and a few days ago a conflict seemed all but inevitable. Even now the contingency is not wholly removed. The Great Powers have proposed the usual remedy of a Conference for settling the quarrel between the Courts of Athens and Constantinople. Turkey has ac ceded on the condition that the question which has given rise to the present dispute--the independence of Crete—be excluded from discussion. It is difficult to understand what purpose the Conference can serve if this condition be accepted. The conduct of Greece is clearly wrong, tested by the strict letter of inter national law. No less wrong was the conduct of the Sardinian Government when it sent Admiral Per- 1 sano to bombard the Neapolitanport of Gaeta.
