lIONEy MARKET AND COMMERCTAT. INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is rather less business in the general dis count market to-day, and the rates are a little easier, ranging from 3'4 per cent. upwards, accord ing to the character of the paper offered for nego tiation. The supplies of money have slightly in creased. A special general meeting of the shareholders of the Oriental Inland Steam Company was held to day—Colonel Grimes in the chair. The me eting Was convened to consider the financial and general Condition of the company, and to confer with the directors on the course expedient to be adopted. It was proposed that the directors shall lave authority to issue the present unallotted and for feited shares, with a preferential right of dividend not exceeding 8 per cent. on the amount of each of such ehares, giving to the holders of fully paid up shares, and to the holders of C shares, iu respect of whose shares no call is unpaid, the preference in the allotment of such share in proportion to the shares held by them over other applicants. A warm discussion upon the subject ensued, and no resolu tion was agreed to when this report was despatched. Proposals have been made by the Messrs. Roths child on behalf of the Imperial Government for a new 41 per cent. Brazilian loan, amounting to £3,300,000. The objects to which this sum is to be applied are the liquidation of the 5 per cent. loan, 1843, representing £3,620,000 due next January, extinguishing the 5 per cent. loans of 1824 and 1825, which are together equal to £2,357,900, due next April, and discharging in Brazil with the balance the floating Treasury bonds. The price at which the present loan is to be issued is 88 per cent., or if the interest accruing over the period in Which the payments are to be made be reckoned, it is reduced to about 87. The bonds (to bearer) are to be for £lOO, £5OO, and £l,OOO each, with coupons payable half-yearly in London on the Ist April and Ist October. The stock is to be redeemed in 30 years by a sinking fund of £1 13s. per cent. per annum. Discount at the rate of 5 per cent, will be allowed for payments made in anticipation of the periods stated as follows :-15 per cent. on allot ment, 15 per cent. on the 16th November, 15 per cent, on the 15th December, 10 per cent. on the 15th January, and 33 per cent on the 22d March. The Southsea Pier Hotel Company having dis posed of the bulk of their capital stock have inti mated their intention to close very shortly their application list. We understand that over £17,000 of the capital is already taken up. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : 1863. 1862.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 65c. to 67f. 60c. Heavy. Although the English Fands have not varied to day, the market continues to present much heavi ness. In fact, very little amendment can bs expected in the present disturbed condition of affairs in a:1 quarters. Although Eagland may be able to maintain her neutrality intact, the unsettled feeling abroad must, nevertheless, operate injuriously upon this market.

The survey of the Con gress as here given, though perfectly clear and comprehensible, so far as it goes, is too brief, and vwe might say, too superficial to be satisfac teoreyn., Brief, though it is, moreover, it even bears the appearance of having been eked out by the incorporation in the article of a verbatim reprint of the Programme of the proceedings. Reason for this, it is true, might be found in the fact that the exact programme is worthy of presentation thus, if only as a historical record ; but still having said that it nevertheless bears the construction alrastcly hinted at. Upon one subject more especially we were here doomed to a very peculiar disappointment, namely, in respect to that profound and delicate theme touched with so much daring eloquence by the Count de Mon talembert. All that the writer of this unsatisfying paper in the Dublin has to say upon that matter, any be found expressed by him in the following rather enigmatical sentences : " On one point all men seemed to agree ; namely, that the primitive and mediaeval forms of society aro dead, and will return no more ; that we have to face new combinations of human life; and to deal with new phenomena and new problems of political action and power. This is not new; but it is well to lcok it in the face, and to take the full measure of the crisis. In such an inundation of words, it is im possible that there should not have been some in which we could not concur. We were aware of this, particularly, in one whose power of oratory made it 'difficult to maintain at the moment a steady view of certain truths which seemed to bo overlooked. Our respect for M. do Montalembert makes us desire to accept whatsoever may fall from his lips ; and for great part of his eloquent discourses we render him our cordial thanks. On those points where we differ we do not intend now to enter at length. On a future day the subject will fall naturally under consideration in out pages. For the present all we will do is to note down certain reflections which were forced upon us by his words, and by the ardent appeals of others to the progress of modern society." So that, for the present at least, the momentous principle discussed in that bold and startling ora tion, is here slurred over. Well might the count exclaim, that he was treading among burning ashes ! Much as we are tempted to descant upon one or two of the other papers already particularised by name, more especially, we will say, upon the analysis of the Prison Ministers' Act and upon the essay on Civil Government, we are free to cast a look askance at even the most tempting themes here brought under consideration by the Dublin Review, even at one so tempting as that in reference to the late French Elections, in order that we may here draw the notice of the general public, more peculiarly to what we are disposed to regard as the most deeply interesting, as it is also un questionably, to our mind at least, about the very ablest among all the fifteen quarterly articles now enumerated. Articles here distributed, seven in the first, eight in the second of these two in augural numbers of the new series of the Dublin. Meaning no other than the paper, or rather the two papers, contributed by Canon Oakeley, in the shape of Historical Notes upon the Tractarian Movement. Tnirty years having elapsed since the commencement of that memorable movement, the facts here particularised, by one who himself took part in the movement, who witnessed it with breathless and vigilant attention, as his every word now sufficiently testifies, the facts here related in chronological order may be said in truth to have already risen to the dignity of history. They are no longer contemporary events—what though many of the principal actors in those occurences still sur vive. They have floated back into sufficient per spective, or rather we have advanced, in the lapse of time, to a sufficient distance, to enable us to regard both actors and events, to a certain extent at least, dispassionately. The merits of the remarkable record of those events here being penned by the Very Rev. F. Oakeley, in the form of these Histo rical Notes, may better be indicated, however, by extract than by anything that could be said by us in the way of commentary. Here, then, for example, is his tribute to— KEELE'S " CHRISTIAN LIFE." Among the facts which heralded in the Tractarian move ment and helped, as I must think, towards its real success, was the publication of Mr. Keble's Christian Year," and its almost unexampled popularity. lam afraid to say 11.6 w many large editions this work went through in a compara tively short time. It was in everyone's hands; admired by literary men for its poetical beauty, and loved by religious minds for its calm and deep spirit of devotion. Appearing at a time when controversy was not suspected, it was the occasion of circulating—and that too in the form of all others the most attractive and the most valuable—sentiments which, if ever they had a place in the Anglican schools of di vinity, had, at all events, been long in abeyance. Not only was it free, to an extent at that time remarkable, from anti- Catholic phraseology, but it dared to plead, in terms than which even a Catholic could use no stronger, for the love of which our Blessed Lady should be the object. The natu ral and affectionate use of the Holy Name was another of its characteristics, which, strange to say, placed it in contrast to the High Church publications of the time, and won for it an access to many an Evangelical hearth, from which the well-known religious opinions of its author might otherwise have banished it. The work was thus, in all probability, the means of insinuating principles, and infusing a spirit, which prepared the way for a more favourable reception of the Tractarian theology than that theology might have received if not pre-announced by so popular a forerunner. Here is his description of MR. NEWMAN'S MINISTRATION AT ST. MARY'S. All this while a course of pulpit-teaching was going on in the same church, which unlike that we have just spoken of, was continuous and uniform. No sooner had St. Mary's been cleared of its dignified audience, than a new congregation was gathered together within its walls, ostensibly consisting of parishioners, but really comprehending a large number of the members, especially the junior members, of the Univer like its c ompan i on in the forenoon, was conducted entirely c by Mr. N ewman , w h o h a d succee d e d, i n s Univer sity. his turn, as Fellow of Oriel, to the incumbency of the parish M r. Newman was,in fact, everythin g in this office—alike wit h out rival and without coadjutor; he was reader, preacher, and celebrant , nay, music and ceremonial also ; for, if these various departments were ever actually filled by others, they have faded from the memory, which has settled down on him alone. It was from that pulpit that Sunday after Sunday were delivered those marvellous discourses which have been since collected into several volumes, and of which it may be said that there is hardly a sentence which does not form a study for the philosopher. Nor was it in the pulpit alone that Mr. Newman had the gift of throwing a character essentally his own over the work in which he was engaged. lie succeeded in imparting to the Anglican service, and especially to that portion of it which from the lips of most clergymen was either an unimpressive recital or a pompous effort—the reading of the lessons—an indescribable charm of touching beauty, and a wonderful power of instructive efficacy. His delivery of Scripture was a sermon in which you forgot the human preacher; a drama in which the vividness of the representation was marred by no effort and degraded by no art. He stood before the sacred volume as if penetrating its contents to their very centre, so that his manner alone, his pathetic changes of voice, or his thrilling pauses, seemed to convey the commentary in the simple enunciation of the text. He brought out meanings where none had been even suspected, and invested passages which in the hands of the profane are often the subject of unbecoming levity, with a solemnity which forced irrove • renco to retire abashe d into its hidi ng - place. r ession of respect, o f a l mo st aff e c- Froude, is, we wo uld add, eminently worthy N o thing could b e mor e frank Ttiohneawteritreers'speecxtP for the memory o f th e late Mr. of examination. or genial, again, than is his recognition here of the piety of Dr. Pussy, or more generous, even it might be said, towards the close more touching than his commemoration of the death of Dr. Lloyd, the late Bishop of Oxford.

THE FATAL FIGHT NEAR Sr. RACKS.—Au inquest Was held to-day at St. Mar tin's Vestry-hall upon the body of the unfortunate man Robert Predevill, who died from the effects of the injuries ho received in the late fight in which he was engaged in, at the back of St. George's Barracks, a few days ego. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against William Perkins, who was committed to take his trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions. PITMAN'S SHORTHAND. —Mr. F. Pitman has been engaged to instruct a class of 50 junior clerks at the Camden station of the London ana North-Western Rail way, London, in the time-saving and legible mode of writ ing, named Phonography, which is now being extensively adopted among the studious, as well as the professional and mercantile classes. It is believed that the use of phono graphy will greatly facilitate some branches of railway busi ness, and still farther accelerate the transmission of goods. --Rai(tvcry j?egister. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BEDFORD RACES.-WEDNESDAY. Immediately preceding the great Cesarewitch week at Newmarket it was scarcely a matter for surprise that the Bedford reunion should attract a large concourse of specta tors from London, the majority of whom were, doubtless, more interested in the market movements than in the actual racing. Apart from the possibility of some demonstration being made on the Cesarewitch, the sports of the day were not unworthy of the attention of the regular followers of the Turf. The ring enclosure was crowded, and everybody was on the qui 'vire for something fresh in reference to the important handicap to be decided at head-quarters on Tues day. Betting upon the Cesarewitch, however, was pursued in the intervals between the races only with tameness. Lioness was again the rage, and pretty nearly all the odds of 7 to 1 offered against her were eagerly snapped up. Drummer Boy was supported at S to 1, but that price was subsequently offered without finding takers. Decidedly the feature of the afternoon was the advance in the quotation of Lord Coventry's two animals, Umpire and Emblem, the in quiries concerning the last mentioned commencing as soon as a muster took place in the betting ring. Repeated outlays were made upon the winner of the Liverpool Grand National s teeplechase, until 20 to 1 and even 100 to 6 were taken freely at the close. This movement, of course, weakened Umpire's position, and he receded, point by point, until 25 to 1 was offered against him but in vain. Limosina still seemed firm at 12 to 1, but there was evidently a desire, when she was beck, that the fact might bo notified. Black down suffered from a reaction, and before leaving the course 15 to 1 could have boen obtained in hundreds about him. The racing of the day will be found fully detailed below, but as a large amount of speculation took place upon the likeli hood of the decision of the Jockey Club, to whom the dis pute "as to whether Soumise, the wi nner, was ent i tle d to a maiden allowance, having won on the Continent," was re ferred, we think it necessary to refer to that matter. A gene ral meeting of the Jockey Club was held at Newmarket on Friday in the first Spring Meeting, present Admiral Roue, M r . Alexander (stewards), Lord Chesterfield, Mr. G. W. Fitzwilliam, Sir J. Hawley,Lord Wm. Powlett, Lord Stam ford, Lord Wilton, and Lord Winchilsea ; and at that meet ing(after business hacl been transacted respecting the punish ment of disobedient jockeys) it was moved by Admiral Roue, an d unanimously carried, " That rule 4, defining a maiden horse or mare, should be amended by the addition of the words in any country.' " The rule referred to consequently rea d, after the alteration, as follows :—" A maiden horse or mar e is one that has never won a plate or Sweepstakes in an y country," and Soumise having won abroad, the objet • tion a ppears likely to prove fatal against th e w i nner .

ROBBING A PoLicnmAN.—John Kelly was placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor charged with stealing a silver watch. John Regan, 488, City police, said the prisoner was a dis tant relation of his, but he had not seen much of him for some years. About six months ago he came to see him, and after remaining a short time with him he went away. Two or three days ago he missed his watch from his lodgings and suspecting the prisoner, he went to look for him in Westminster, and found him in the Broadway. He told him he suspected him of stealing his watch, when he said he had borrowed it for a short time, but that he meant to return it. When he (witness) asked him to give him his property back, he said he had pawned it at a shop in Westminster. He said he had not got the ticket with him, bnt that it was at his lodgings. Dis believing the statement, he (witness) went to the lodgings of a female, where he found the ticket of the stolen watch. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he had been out of work for eight weeks, and was very hard up. He went to Fee his cousin (the prosecutor), and as he was asleep when he went into his room, he took away his watch, but he did not mean to steal it. The constable said he could not discover what had be come of the chain and key attached to the watch. The Lord Mayor, as the prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, sentenced him to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. Health of Lord Lyndhurst. The following is a copy of the bulletin issued to-day : " Thursday, Oct. 8. "Lord Lyndhurst has passed a better night, and continues as well as yesterday. " Taos. HAWIISLEY, M.D." LITERATURE, The Dublin _Review. Nos. I. and 11. New Series. July and October. Burns and Lambert. It implies no disparagement whatever to the original series of this very well known, and long established Quarterly, when we say, at once—what we are, indeed, for that matter, constrained to say in simple justice—that the new series, inaugurated by the publication of these two numbers, evidences already an extraordinary advance upon its prede cessor. It is not merely that we cannot help recog nising in these two exemplars of the capacity evi dently inherent in the new management, the gua rantee of an appreciable infusion thereby of vitality, of what is familiarly called "new blood," into the very body and substance of the old periodical. Far wider than this is the improvement, far more radical and interpenetrating are the changes, even now per ceptible at the very outset of the fresh career thus entered upon by the Dublin Review under its new management. Its scope, intellectually and morally, appears to be enlarged. Its survey is certainly more extended. There is far more variety in its contents. Among several of the contributors, at least, there is manifest in the mere manner, in the mere style of c omposition, more vigour and vivacity, more dash and originality than we were accustomed to find in the general run of papers, the readers of the old green Quarterly, with the Irish Harp and "Erin Go Bragh" as its device, had of late years become accustomed to. Yet, at the same time, it should be especially remarked, that we can happily still recognise several of the most able, one or two of them, indeed, master hands, to whese labours the Dublin is mainly indebted for the reputation it enjoys both for learn ing and eloquence. Without, however, enterin g upon any invidious distinctions between the old and the new wine, whether of wit, or of wisdom, remains to be seen, whether of critical acumen or 01 bibliographical research, here poured out for us alternately in fifteen more or less elaborated criti cisms, we would now direct attention, however briefly, to the distinguishing peculiarities observable in some few at least among the more remarkable of the literary articles grouped together in these two instalments. A rapid summarising of the contents of the two numbers will perhaps tend the most vividly to indicate, by indicating the mere diversity of the subjects treated upon by the Dublin Reviewers, the energy with which this new series has at once been opened up. Popular Devotion in Spain, the Schism in Abyssinia, the life and good works of Rosa Ferrucci, the wants and labours of the Catholic Church in the United Kingdom, a thoroughly inde pendent survey of the recent conduct and general results of the French Elections, together with a philosophic inquiry into a treatise upon the vitally important question of the intrinsic end of Civil Government ! These, with the first instalment of a paper continued in number two—a paper upon the value of which we shall take occasion to remark more particularly almost immediately—constitute the bulk of the introductory or inaugural number published in July. Its successor, number two, but just now issued simultaneously with the magazines for October, consists for the most part of the fol lowing. A trenchant and uncompromising criticism upon Dr. Hook's Lives of the Archbishops of Can terbury. A charming paper upon the CurO of Ars. A political chapter, in the form of an examination into the bearing of the Prison Ministers Act. A very attractive, and even it may be said (certainly to all ecclesiastical archaeologists) enthralling record of divers notable particulars brought to light recently at Rome, upon the excavation of the newly discovered Jewish catacomb. A paper on the Letters of St. Theresa. One on the Dogmatic Principle. A brief but telling article upon the Congress held but a few weeks back at Malines. And to crown all, Part. 11. of the series of papers already referred to, without its nature having as yet been specified, a series simply entitled by the writer of them, who is no other than the Very Rev. Frederick Oakeley, " Historical Notes of the Tractarian Movement." It should be remarked, however, before passing on from the more generalised summary of these two new numbers of the Dublin Review, that the principal criticisms contained in each, are followed by a cluster of minor ones of a very miscellaneous character : relating not only to a great variety of recent works, both English and foreign, books published both here and upon the Continent: but, besides that, taking a comprehensive survey of Foreign Periodical Literature : a survey having espe cial regard, under that head, to Les Etudes Religieuses, Historiques, et Littiraires, to La Cattolica, but above all, as it well deserves, to Le Correspondant. The October number sup- Pliments, even to this ample table of contents, yet another cluster of politico-religious criticisms relat ing to Foreign Events—to such Foreign Events of Catholic interest as those having reference to Pied ms t o a n t e t s an o t l h t e a l F y , a u t o s t h T e r i c a o l to i t doni the o p f r t o h c e e s N Es o e a n p o o f l i ta then Santissimo Salvatore,'and to the theme just now of European solicitude, the Polish insurrection. Turning, however, from the general to particulars,we would here confess at once to having experienced some disappointmen t amongin respect t tileveryfio h r t st, e onasweepcaopn conjecture xezetua ro it will certainly be examined among the very first by almost everyone else, on taking up the number of the Dublin for October. The article, we mean, upon Malines. We bad looked here in the Dublin for some thing more like a pronunciamento regard ng the in trinsic value, and the probable influence hereafter,of the Congress lately holden in the old Flemish City of Mechlin. Possibly there may of this newnumber of othave elapsed sufficient time, between the close of the sitti ng o f that Congress and the passing of the Catholic Quarterly through the press, to allow of any carefully-considered estimate of the meeting being prepared. Even suppv,i ng that, however, to be actually the case, j us t as we have stated—that it has eo Happened 1 9 4 matte:~ to MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FACTION FIGHT AND SAVAGE AssAvam.—During the past few days a large portion of the time of the magistrate (Mr. Knox) has been occupied in investigating Irish assault cases, principally from Monmouth -court, Seven Dials, and the neighbourhood, and the court has been daily crowded with the followers of the parties.• Some of the assaults have been marked with features of the greatest atrocity. In one a woman, besides having her face badly disfigured—it being a mass of bruises—bore a large wound on her arm, the re sult of a bite she received from her antagonist. Other cases having been gone into, some of the prisoners were sent to prison for a month without the optionof fines, while in other cases the parties—where they were before the magistrate on summonses—were bound over to keep the peace towards each other, THAMES. CONVICTION OF A POLICE-CONSTABLE FOR ASSAULT. — George Armstrong, a police• constable of the K division, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with assaulting Timothy Cox, a police-sergeant, 45 K. _ The prisoner, a tall active young man, who is respectably connected, and was recommended to the force by persons of the highest character with flattering testimonials, has been in the force twelve months only. He has been reported and fined for drunkenness five times, and his inordinate craving for strong drinks has'been his ruin, and has brought him into his present ignominious position; when sober, a better conducted man never existed. It appeared from the evidence of Cox that last night, at a few minutes past ten, the prisoner was mustered in the King David-lane station with other constables coming off duty. It was observed that he was drunk and staring wildly. He took off his armlet and gave it to Police-sergeant Sutherland, acting Inspector, at the same time exclaiming, " Take that, I'll do no more duty." Sutherland requested the prisoner to take back the armlet, and advised him not to act foolishly or with precipitation. The prisoner imme diately stepped back from the other men, took off his hat and belt, and put himself in a fighting attitude. He also Lecame very abusive to Sutherland, who said " Take hold of him, for he will strike some one." Sergeant Cox then took hold of his right arm with one hand and put his arm round the prisoner's body. The prisoner immediately threw himself down and began plunging and kicking violently. Sutherland said "We had better take him out into a cell." Three or four constables seized the prisoner, who struggled violently, and struck Cox a blow on the mouth and made an attempt to bite him. The prisoner, however, did not succeed, and his teeth only penetrated the sleeve of the sergeant's coat. Cox believed the prisoner would have bitten him severely if he had not grasped the prisoner by the neck and choked him off. After much trouble the prisoner was removed to one of the cells in the station-house, and locked up. The prisoner was afterwards requested by Cox and Sutherland to present himself before Mr. Superintendent Howill at the station in Arbour-street East, Stepney. The prisoner said he had not cheek enough for that, as he was before the superintendent for misconduct on Tuesday morning. John Sutherland, an old an'l much respected police sergeant, No. 46, K, confirmed the evidence, and added that he told Armstrong that he could not be relieved from police duty by giving up his armlet and belt, and that he must resign in the regular way. The prisoner challenged Evans, a constable, to fight, and squared up to several men, and when Cox laid hold of him he hit a t every one right and loft. One constable was severely kicked in the chest, and the prisoner would have mater iall y injued others it his boots had not been taken off. Cox's mouth was full of blood. In answer to questions by Mr. Partridge, Sutherland said the prisoner was a good man when sober, and that after he had been locked up all night he said he was very sorry indeed, but did not recollect what he had said or done. The prisoner offered no defence. Mr. Partridge made some forcible comments on the case, and said this was another instance of the baneful effects of intemperance. He fined the prisoner 405,, which he in stantly paid. It was announced that the prisoner was dismissed from the police force. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS' DUE.

COVENTRY ELECTION, COVENTRY, Wednesday. The nomination took place this morning in front of the hustings in Broadgate. Some 10,000 per sons were assembled.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of beasts on offer here to-day was rather limited, and the general quality of the stock was very middling.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per milk pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.6} per £1 sterling. standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 152 to 1534 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 31 per cent. At these rates there is profit on the importation of gold from the United States. The biddings for 40,00,000 rupees (X 400,000) in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England.

THE FRENCH ZADRIEL'S PROPHECY (a month too soon)—of the English Earthquake? Aliff. the well-known Zadkiel of Paris, predicted that, on the 10th of September, the earth would be subjected to some shoe k of na►ure, something more modern, but not less terriblt), than an earthquake. People quaked up to the dreade day, but the earth was perfectly staid all the while, ar d nothing having taken place, M. Alia merely suggests that Nature changed her mind, and that she may yet put her threat into execution. GOOD NEWS FOR THE BOYS !—A French phymi. cian, M.
