be very much regretted. 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 companion in the forenoon, was
conducted
entirelycby Mr. Newman, who had succeeded, in
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 abashed into its hiding-place.

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. We shall watch with

the completion—of these Historical Notes in the

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.

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
steeplechase, 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 winner, was entitled 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,
Mr. 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,
and 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
read, after the alteration, as follows :—" A maiden horse or
mare is one that has never won a plate or Sweepstakes in
any country," and Soumise having won abroad, the objet •
tion appears likely to prove fatal against the winner. In
the Bedfordshire Stakes Old Gibraltar, carrying 9st 51b,
gained fresh laurels, and beating as he did the favourite and
Tourist very cleverly, the performance shows him to be a
great horse over a long course. Subjoined is a lull return

Baron of Avon made play, Zeloo lying alongside, and next
them, at an interval of several lengths, followed Fletton and
Middlewatch a long way in the rear of everything., and
completely out of the race when a quarter of a mile bad
been run was Try. Before entering the straight Zeloo and
Fletton had retired from the frost, and approaching the
distance Reserve and Margery were close up with " The
Baron." Just within the distance Middlewatch rushed past
Margery and Reserve, and in the succeeding half-dozen
strides headed Baron of Avon, and aon by a length and a
half. Baron of Avon beat Reserve by half a length, and
Margery Was fourth, close up ; a dozen lengths in the rear
of Margery finished Fletton, the other three straggling in,
except Try, who was pulled up, and came in with the crowd.
Middlewatch pulled up very lame.

After
a tedious delay, principally occasioned by the re-
fusal of Confederate to join his horses, Faith jumped away
with a clear lead, and mule play until within a quarter of a
mile from home, where Soumise passed the Birthday filly
and vandervelde, who had been running second and third,
and in a few strides took up the running, and won by two
lengths ; a similar distance separated the second and third ;

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MANSION HOUSE.

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.
