COMMERCIAL 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 3y 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 luland Steam Company 'was held to-
day—Colonel Grimes in the chair. The meeting
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 shares, giving to the holders of fully paid up
shares, and to the holders of C shares, in 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 tuna is to
be applied are the liqaidation 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 Soutbsea 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 :

is an increase of £4,154; on the Midland, of
£3,797 ; on the Great Northern,. of £2,146 ; on the

Although the English Funds have not varied to-
day, the market continues to present much heavi-
ness. In fact, very little amendment can be
expected in the present disturbed condition of affairs
in a:1 quarters. Although England may be able to
maintain her neutrality intact, the unsettled feeling
abroad must, nevertheless, operate injuriously upon
this market. Consols are 93 a for money, and

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
even, we might say, too superficial to be satisfac-
tory. Brief, though it is, moreover, it even
bears the appearance of having been
eked out by the incorporation in the
artic'e 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 alraady 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 during eloquence by the Count de Mon-
talembert. All that the writer of this unsatisfying
paper in the Dub/in has to say upon that matter,
may 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 are dead, and
will return no more ; that we have ts) 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 look 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 be overlooked. Our respect for M. de 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 futuro
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 !
lfuch 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
et 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-
uestionably, 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
typo papers, contributed by Canon Oakeley, in
the shape of Historical Notes upon the Tractarian
.110yement. Thirty 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
alreadyrisen 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
tipecmet,itvee'a sufficient distance, to enable us to regard
both actors and events, to a certain extent at least,
dispassionately. The merits of the remarkable
recordthose events here being penned by the
Very
R of
Bev'
F. Oakeley, in the form of these Histo-
rical Notes, may better be indicated, however, by
e
extract than by anything that could be said by
us in the way of commentary. Here, then, for
example, is his tribute to—

KLYLE'S " CHRISTIAN LIME."
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. lieble's " Christian Year," and
its almost unexampled popularity. lam afraid to say how
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 calm and deep spirit of devotion. Appearing
at a time for itswh when controversy was not suspected, it was the
occasion of circulating—and that too in the form of all others
the
meat attractive and the most valuable—sentiments
which, if ever they had a place in the Anglican schools of di-
et all events, been long in abeyance. Not only

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 accees 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

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-
sity. This service, like its companion in the forenoon, was
conducted entirely by Mr. Newman, who had succeeded, in
his turn, as Fellow of Oriel, to the incumbency of the parish
Mr. Newmanwas,infact,everythingin this office—alike with-
out rival and without coa3juier
, 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.
He 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—tke 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 iu 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. lie 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 irreve •
rence to retire abashed into its hiding-place.
The writer's expression of respect, of almost affec-
tionate respect for the memory of the late Mr.
Fronde, is, we would add, eminently worthy
of examination, Nothing could be more frank
or genial, again, than is his recognition here of
the piety of Dr. Pusoy, 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
lively interest for the continuation—we trust not
the completion—of these Historical Notes in the
ensuing, the third number of this new series of the
old Dublin Quarterly, a number, we observe,
already announced to appear upon the first of
January.

Camden station of the London and 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
