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, and
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.. The
article on the " European Situation " is another of those
attacks upon Count von Beust which have been so fze-

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.

features. Many of the difficulties that surrounded most

tiveeable talents of the Marquis of Salisbury. The
resumption of specie payments by the Great Western, and
the extension of the Midland 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 representation of the gathering at the
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 -.indiscriminating
vehemence, and frequently sacrificed wisdom to wit ; but
of the genius displayed in La Lanterne there 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.

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

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-
