BEAR AND FORBEAR, We had lately the privilege of hearing a discourse under the above title delivered by Dr. Baar, whose sermons we have from time to time inserted in these columns. The address in question was delivered in the synagogue, Seel-street, but enunciates doctrines which all, whether Israelites or Christians, would do well to follow out. If people, generally, only considered how much happier they would be personally, how muc h misery they might save their friends, relatives, or mere acquaintances, by being willing to bear and forbear, we think there would be. displayed a greater anxiety to carry out this _golden rule, and we , th ere f ore, h eart il y commend Dr. Baar's eloquent address to the attention of our readers. The preacher took his text from Exodus, chap, 33, v. 18 and 19. The finest culture of the human mind my brethren consists in our opinion in that divine virtue to be lenient and `forgi ving towards the failings of others. For is it our duty and mission to form our hearts as a holy taber nacle of the Lord, then we think that the serving priests of this tabernacle Ought to. be the three ministering anpls. Kindness, Love and Indulgence. _The more we look into the souls'of hi i-minded and eminent persons, the more we do perceive that one of these virtues has stamped upon their lives the character of nobility and magnanimity. The more we look into our holy Bible, the more we see that the way and manner in which God our father treats his created beings abounds in numerous blessiums, which he showers down upon good and b a d, p upon righteous and wicked, ‘ upon virtuous and vicious. There is nothing easier in life than to hurt or o ff en d our fellowman, but how difficult is it to reconcile those who once have fallen out, or have separated themselves in order neverto meet again. It is true, we poor mortals 'unfor tunately are not able to go through life without finding opposition ; it is so difficult to satisfy every one, for every one does' measure us according to his own individual opini o ns, and individual opinio ns concentrate themselves either in a small and narrow or in a high and enlarged sphere. Bat it is not difficult to view the faults of our neighbours without animosity and bitterness. We only accustom ourselves to show toleration and leniency towards each other's errors, we must pervade our minds .e feelings of indulgence which genuine humanity .as a right to demand from every true religious person. Let us then, in this hoar of devotion, try to find out the high principle how to "bear and forbear" in life, and in doing so, let us close our hearts against hatred, and open them to the dictates of a humane and divine voice a voice which impresses upon us the' following words, taken by us as a text for our religious meditation from this portion of the law : Exodus, c. xxxiii., v. 18, 19 : "And he (Moses) said. I pray thee, show me thy glory. And he said, I shall make all; my goodness pass before thee ; and I shall pro claim the name of the Lord before thee, and I shall be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and show mercy on whom I will show mercy." Let us, in expounding our text, in the first place inquire, "How is it that we do not bear and forbear ? " In the second place, "In which manner are we to bear, and forbear ?" In the first place, hoW is it that we do not bear, and forbear ? The principal cause, my brethren, that we do not like "to bear and forbear," has its origin and source in mere selfishness, and in want of pious and religious sentiments in the breast of those individuals, who are not susceptible of feelings of kindness and indulgence. It i s genera l ly observed and commonly believed that those persons are rather srow and imperfect "in bearing and forbearing" who, as the spoiled children of fortune and happy cir• cumstances, and favoured by sunshine and vernal seasons have seldom or never witnessed nr - dismal, gloomy, and with thos, painful nights of trials and tempta tions. He who never bore a.powerfnl or heavy grief and . affliction in life ; he who never ate his bread With a tear ful eye and a cup of sorrow: he nr4l-Ar naacn.l ion his bed': But, on the melancholy hour of night restlessly he does not know " how to bear and forbear.' the other hand. the u-nnt 4,1 - aim lomat," is gst those human beings wh o , lik e our to-day's portion, make idols of of their hearts, and worship them in rrnl "Ls,. 7t - r _ .es PUT us tam is better for us to able to bear and for 21T flesh c y majesty hildien ina.nkind with th mankind, and we poor mortals, created in the image of our Maker, have to imitate His love and kindness ; his mercy and forbearance. And this love and forbearance is particularly shown by our Beneficient Father in this days portion, in which he grants forgiveness to a people who were idolizing a golden calf, exclaiming : " The Eternal, the . Eternal, a God merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity, trans gressions, and sin." And the same feelings "of bearing and forbearing" are practised and exercised by our great legislator and master, Moses. Coniider only, brethren ' with what sacrifice and - exertion, with wh a t pain and labour, with what zeal and loving kindness, the great prophet sought and strived to instil into his children, the Israelites, the true doctrines and the beliefs in the only One God ; and now, after days, weeks, and months of preparations and instructions, all his endea vours and works were at once upset by our forefathers' obstinacy and wickedness in worshipping a golden calf. But in the very moment of confusion, despondency, and sin, the feelings of forbearance towards his people are so powerful and mighty in his 'generous, noble-minded bosom, that he requested for our nation forgiveness from our merciful father at the sacrifice of his own life saying : "And now, if thou w ilt f org i ve the i r ' sin, but if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book, which thou bast written." In the face of such an offer on the side of Moses, how common and little, how weak and unmanly, how selfish and ungodlike is that forbearance and for giveness on the part of man, particularly if it is couched in terms as the following: "I. shall forgive thee, but I never shall forget th e o ff ence w hi c h thou hest com mitted on me." Such a way of acting differs ma terially from our Father's loving kindness and mercy, which he expresgal, in the words of our text, to Moses, saying : " I shall make all my goodness pass before thee, and shall be gracious, to whom I will be gracious, and show mercy on whom I will show mercy." Is it, therefore, not vain for us to expect—is it not improper for us to ask God's forbearance, if we refuse to exercise the same forbearing temper with respect to' others ? And the same feelings of forbearance are practised by all the eminent personalities of the Bible. Forbearance was a beautiful flower in the wreath of virtue, which was put upon Abraham's head. And how did he exercise this virtue ? " Did he not say to Lot, "Let there be , no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren." Would. to God that all the herdsmen in the various de nominations of the Lord would mind this golden sentence and I" am sure instead of intoleration, narrow mindedness and bigotry, We should perceive the heavenly light of leniency and forbearance. And the same virtue of " bearing and forbearing" descended upon Abraham's son, Isaac. Isaac in digging a well, disagreed with the herdsmen of Gerar, who claimed the water as their own, and he therefore called the well, "Contention." lie con tinued to dig another well, but a quarrel again arose, and he called the well "Strife." To escape contention and strife, Isaac removed from there, and dug another well, and about that they did not quarrel, and he called his name " Enlargement." And so it is in life, amongst men, my brethren. There are three living wells in the breast of every human being, of which two are streaming forth bitter, and only one well cooling and refreshing water. The first well filled with the bitter waters of passion brings about Contention. The second second well containing the bitter waters of selfishness and prejudice leads to " strife." But to overcome "contention" and "strife," we must remove from the two bitter fountains, and dig another well, the well of "enlargement of our soul," by which we are able of bear and forbear. And if we continne in this manner. our observations on the forbearance of biblical persons: we cannot possibly omit the manifestation of this virtue so gloriously shown in the life of Joseph. How lenient and tolerating was this sublime and magnanimous soul towards the failings of his brothers revenge was the one brotherly wish the way," his noblest retaliatio n v Ilis sweetest do not fall out by blessing - : "I will nourish yon and your little ones ; and his grand vindictiveness was the one, brotherly feeling, of and he comforted them and spake kindly unto them. cnem in And the same feelings of - -,.rvaded the for thi s reason nuine soul of David g ;4e way in w he treats Saul, in - the cave .of En Gedi when the Lord delivered hi s i n v e t era te f oe into his hands,' " Behold," he said, " the Lord had delivered thee to-day into mine hand into the cave, and same bade me kill thee, but mine eye spared thee ;• moreover my father see the skirt of thy_ robe in Mine hand, for I cut off' the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee. not." Know thou, and see, that there °is neither evil nor transgressions in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee, yet thou huntest my soul ; to take it. And at length; . brethren, read the b ook of .Jonah over and over, and imbibe your mind with that spirit. of foogiveness and forbearance, which fills every line. In doing so, you will be impressed with God's glory and goodness, which manifested itself by his great kindness and love, that he showed towards the inhabi tants of Nineveh, when they repented of the evil which they had done, and turned away.from their wicked road and path. - But, such a spirit of forbearance, on God's side, displeased his disobed i e n t p rop h e t J ona h , (on whom God haS showed the ,greatest mercy) exceedingly, and he was very anffry. And the L or d prepared a Kikajou or gourd and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head to deliver him from grief; so Jonah was exceedingly glad of the Kikajon. But God prepared a worm, when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the Kikajon that it withered. And the sun beat upon the head of Jonah that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said: "It is better for me to die than to live." And God said to Jonah : " Doest thou well to be angry for the Kikajon ? " And he - said: "I do well to be angry, even unto death." Then said the Lord : " Thou hast .aau axtanjull. WHIM' came up in a night and perished in q night; and shall not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sir score thousand persons that cannot discern between right and wrong ? 7 Like Jonah are we men. We like to implore God's forbearance for our own sake, but we harden con- brifirl, towards the failings of others ; and as' soon as we are pressed to be forgiving and ' tolerating towards the faults of our neighbours, we at once talour shelter - under the leaves of the Kikajon. He who resides Under the aikajen of wealth says, "I do not want my fellow brother—why should I be On good terms with him ? He who lives under. the Kikajon of pride says : "I would humble and degrade myself to stretch out, the hand of forgiveness to a man who stands under my dignity." He who reposes under the Kikajon of selfishness remarks : ." That man has brought his misery and calamity himself upon his f am il y . Wh y should I as s i s t hi m ?" y And he who is dwelling under the Kikajon of independence observes : " I can live without my brother ; why should I profane my feelings in showing mercy towards a person who does not deserve mercy." But did you not see that God prepared a worm which destroyed Jonah's Kikajon. This worm is the remorse of conscience, which certainly will destroy all our • Kikajons, if we are not bearing and forbearing towards each other. "The sun of happiness will beat upon - head, and the vehement east wind of .calamity w ill Jonah : It are not ,t we ivish to di and selfi Ind word provided w reflection, The time may soon whom I am no— --t anouk to afflict, may be snatched from me for e - er to the cold recesses of the grave, secured from the assaults of my petulence ' and deaf to the vo i ce o f my remorseful peni tence." Let us ever bear in mind and follow the words 'of our text I shall make all my goodness pass before thee, and shall be gracious to whom I will be zracious. 0- ---- on whom I will show mercy.

SPRING MEETING, The weather, ' yesterday, was again_ beautifully fine, inducing large numbers to visit Aintree. The attendance, on the whole, was very gdoc; including the following : From Croxteth : Earl and Countess of Sefton, Lady Cecilia Moleux, Lord and Lady_ Vane, Sir George Wombwell, Earl and Countess of Craven, Lord Skelmers dale, Miss Bulted, Lady Evelyn- Craven, Capt. Bateson ; T. I. Blackburne, Esq., Miss Blackburne, Calthorpe, Esq., Edgecombe, Esq., Captain and Mr. Molynetix, Captain Bathurst, &c., &c. From Lynn's Waterloo Hotel: The Marquis of 'Water ford, Lord Drogheda, Charles Boville, Esq., Hugh E. Johnson, Esq., J. Johnson, jun., George Ede, Esq., Bynd, Esq., Long, .Esq., Reddist, Esq..

Montgomery, Fredrick, Esq., Hunt, Esq., Marshall, Esq., fluttlestone, Esq., Bell, Esq., Dyson, Esq., Smith, Esq., Rowlands, Esq., Jones, Esq., Hutchin son, Esq., Hoxie, Esq. The racing commenced at two o'clock, with the Selling Stakes for All Ages.- Lady Eglinton was made the favourite, and won easily. The Sefton Handicap followed, for which eleven runners contested, Gladiolus; being made the favourite at 2to 1. He won very easily, repeating his yesterday's victory. We now come to the Grand National, the leading race of the day. Twenty came to the post, and the betting was very brisk. The backers of The Brewer took 5 to 2 freely; 7 to 1 Half Caste, who was in great force. Jean du Quesne was backed for a large amount of money by her owner, as little as 8 to 1 being taken. Jealousy also come again and was backed by her party, at 8 to 1. quietly. The Huntsman had a great number of friends ; and was backed for money at 12 to 1. After their preliminary canter, they drew up at the upper end of the course,.where the Earl of Sefton joined them, and he singled out Ghika, with which he walked down the course, past the stand, re-passed the stand, and away to the starting field, where he got them off well, Xanthus making the running over Berches brook, and was first round the canal side, carrying on the runningat a strong pace,'and first to cross the water jump opposite thegrand stand, closely attended by Flatcatcher, but unfortunately he dismounted rider in the ploughed field. At this point, Halfcaste and Jean du Quesne took a mood position to themselves, and landed in the course with about eight others in attend ance. Below the last hurdle,. Halfcaste had the advantage, taking the last hurdle first, but Jean du Quesne appeared to take,it almost simultaneously, and from this one of the most exciting struggles took place; ever witnessed since the days of Maria Day, and at that Koder Lamplagh tiring, methinks, more than his horse, and -lost on the post by 'a short neck, Halfcaste being the winner. The Hunstman was then about a length from the post. The Handicap Plate of fifty sous. followed, for which Ancient Briton was made the favourite, at 5 to 4, winning easily by half-a-length. The Selling Stake followed, Rhisus being made a great pet at 5 to 4, Mushroom winning in a canter by two lengths. Mr. Topham, lessee of the course, conducted the day's. sport in the manner for which he is so celebrated, giving the utmost satisfaction to every one concerned.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE IiORTHERN TIMES, Sir,--I have carefully read the communication in your paper of this date, showing the very great competition to which Liverpool, as a port, is ex posed. Allowing'this, it does Strike me as extra ordinary that so little attention should be paid to facilitating the'.passage of goods. I m en ti on one thing in particular: When heavy . goods are carted down to the transit sheds, , there are actually not cranes to take them off the carts and lorries. The supply of these, everywhere else indispensable things, is so meagre, that the use of one for the pUrpose I have named is quite an exception, and hand, labour has to be obtained--sometimes to the extent of ten or a dozen men, the expense of which is half as much, or nearly so, as the carriage from Manchester, even if the packages are laid down without dainage, but very often this is not the case. It is a puzzle to me to see the Mersey Board contending so strongly for extended area and increasd burdens, in: the shape of interest of capital, while, so . far as expense is concerned subordinate matters remain. in this state am quite sure that persons not acau with Liverpool would never br4 ainted Ire in the want of ---- appliances and facilities we find existing. There should be an addition to the style and title of the Board,— namely, " for borrowing money and making docks :" using the docks, when made, appears to be in a great measure out of their A CARRIER. province. Feb. 28, 1859 • There is a general rumour at Paris that Count Cavour is expected: Sri W. G. ARMSTRONG.—NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Feb. 24.—The inhabitants of this town, and the residents on Tyneside, are naturally proud of the honour done to their distingnished townsman, Sir. W. G. Armstrong, by Her Majesty conferring the honour o f knighthood upon him, and appointing him Engineer to the War Department for Rifle Ordnance. Sir W. G. Armstrong is another of th e distinguished Ty nes id e men who have ' risen from the non-professional ranks th u prominent position among, scientific and mechanical inventors. Sir W. G. Arm strong is the son of 'the late Mr. Alderman Armstrong, of this town, and was intended for the law. He served his articles ; at any rate, he was a considerable time in the office of the late Mr. A. Donkin, . a well known and accomplished Newcastle Solicitor, an early friend of several of - our most... eminent literary men,. Sir G. Armstrong had,. however a strong bias towards mec h an i er2 l pursuits, and, associa , ted with some other gentlemen, he several years ago com menced the well-known Elswick Er.gine works near this town. Sir W. G. Armstrong' s repu t a ti on was first estab lished as the inventor of the hydraulic crane which is now iii .use in all the principal dock' T yards in Europe. Other works.of great Mechanical skill have also beep. sent from the Elswick factory, and recently a large bridge of peculiar construction was finished for India. The ElsirieN: works have been greatly enlarged, it i s s t a t e d, f or the purp ose of the manufacture of the Armstron g rifle gun. Th e c l ass of ' workmen employed at the Elswick factory are of a superior' order of mechanics. They maintain their own library and newsrooms, and. both they and their employers take 'a lively interest in educational questions. Sir W. G. Arm strong, following the example of Mr. Robert, Stephenson, M.P., recently presented a handsome sum of money to the Philosophical Society of this town, with a view to make it more nseful to a superior vder of mechanics, MONETARY AND 'COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening. The Liverpool Cotton Market Continues very active, and a large business has been done to-day, at full prices. The sales reached 12,000 bales, and include _4,000 taken for speculation and export. The amount of business done in the Liverpool Share Market to-day has not been very large, but a firm feeling prevailed, and _prices for most of the leading lines of Railway shares had not only a firm, but an upward tendency. - The actual trans actions were :--Caledonian, .831 ; Great Western, 55 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 931, 93i; London and North Western, 93k ; Ditto, One-eighth shares, lk-d ; Midland, 985 7 981 ; South Eastern, 211, 21 3-16, 211, 21 1-16 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 7+ ; Great Western of Canada, 151, 15A.

The traffic return of the London and North Western Compaly for this week show the receipts to have been £60,852, against £56,781; being an increase of £4,071. • The Liverpool Produce markets continue quiet, but prices are tolerably well sustained for most articles. Messrs. Browne, Hunter, and Co. have issued" their monthly circular to-day, and from it, we quote the following remarks : The past month has been one of more than ordinary anxiety, both in mercantile and political circles, owing to the uncertainty which still exists as to a continental war. This uneasy feeling is enhanced by the various rumours and political surmises from time to time put forth by the leading, jonrnals, indicating' that the issue will be war, although in some quarters the avoidance of hostilities is still predicted. The reply of Goverment to Lord Pal merston's question of the 25th ult. on European affairs, being considered reassuring, coupled with Lord Cowley's mission to Vienna, it is to be hoped that war may still be Averted, The, general trade of the codtitry continues good; the wholesale houses are doing , a fair business, and getting in their payments well. - Messrs. Connal and Co., of Glasgow, in 'their monthly circular, issued yesterday, in speaking of the Iron trade remark, " That owing to the agi tation about war on the continent, and the scarcity of shipping orders, the market has been very dull all month, and the price has declined about is 6d per ton. The stock of Iron in yards is 158,200 • tons, against which warrants are in circulation for 156,900 tons." The position of the Sugar market, they say,. has been steadily maintained during the month ; whilst the Cotton market has been firm, and an advance in price established to the extent of, a farthing per lb. in the current qualities of American. The London Wool sales continue to be well at tended by home buyers. Messrs. 'Bohm and Co. offered to-day about 1,800- bales, but ,the biddings were not active, and with little doing far export, prices were only barely supported. During the past month there has not been very much business going forward in London in the sale of ships.' Messrs. Alfred Brett and Co. remark, that a fair inquiry exists for steamers, of various sizes, but an impetus is required. For steamers of a large size, there not any demand consequent upon the absence 2ernunerative employment for them. The London Tobacco Market during the past month has not undergone any ma t eria l c h ange. Messrs. Grant and Hodgson, in their circular, say sales during last month of American Tobacco have not exceeded 600 hhds. of all sorts, and purchases were chiefly of limited selections, for immediate consumption, —excepting about 200 hhds. of Western Strips, mostly taken by the same buyers, who operated to some extent during the previous month. The market has not exhibited any perceptible change in prices, as respects good and fine pialities, possessing leaf and substance ; but for middling and ordinary sorts, slight concessions, in some instances, have been submitted to. •Messrs—Du FayV and Co., of Manchester, have issued their monthly trade circular, and from it we quote The uncertainty which prevailed at the commencement of the year as regards political affairs continues,.to the great - d43triment . of the trade. The poduee and import markets:generally have been influenced most prejudicially by the existing state of things. Our own market has for tunatbly hitherto escaped similar effects. MANCHESTER MARKE r.—The transactions . have been considerable during the month, particularly in 5-4 skirtings for India and China, which goods,have now reached a price which *ill check demand, while it forms a strong, inducement to-increase to the ut m o s t th e production of these fabrics. The honie trade. merchants have waited in vain for lower -prices of *cis, and have reluctantly bought during the past month to re-assort stocks. The continental mer chants ekercise still extreme caution, and the fear of war on the continent acts more'detrimentally there than here. It is felt that, even should present difficulties be removed, no security 'for the future is thereby given. Our yarn Market was also active, and 26 and 30 water twist, which gave way slightly a short time since, have again risen, owing to extensive purchases for India . and China. The continental merchants have bought more in the aggregate, although only in small quantities of the different de scriptions of yarns. As long as the India demand lasts,, we neednot fear any downward tendency of our market, stocks being s mall, and many spinners continue to be under contract. YORKSHIRE MARKETS Business has been rather quiet here during the past month, on account of the unsettled state of ,political affairs on .the Continent. But little . Wool has changed hand s , spinners bein '' m.generally well stocked, and the Sinail decline of lad,tod. per lb which has taken place, offering no inducement to mirehess more than what is wanted for immediate requirements. At the Colonial Wool sales, which Opened a few days ago in• London, the closing prices of the November. saes have been maintained. Prices of Worsted Yarns are rather irregular, and much depends as to how spinners are individually situated; those who are chiefly, engaged with spinning for export are more pliable in their quota tions than those who work more for the. home market. For export, the demand has been very limited; whilst for the home trade new contracts a re en t ere d i n t o ,more freely, at prices commensurate. with the altered tone of our market. In. Piece Goods, small concessions are now made by the manufacturers upon the high ratan out a snort.time ago. otOCkS in the market are light, and manufacturers continue to work chiefly to order.

At noon, Consols stood at 951 both for money and the account, but from that time until the close, there was more animation, and prices improved, closing at 954 to 954, at which they finally left off.

In Paris the. Bourse opened flat this morning, but improved during the day, Rentes being quoted at one time at 67 35, and closing at 67 80. , There was a good demand for Money yesterday afternoon, the increased inquiry of Monday having been maintained. Notwithstanding the payments on the 4th are less considerable than usual, the engagements of the 2nd and 3rd of the month are heavy, and hence the effect produced. At the same time the inquiry at the Stock Exchange has slightly augmented, the rates for loans at short periods on Government securities averaging from 1 to 2 per cent. The applications in the dis count department of the Bank have not greatly increased, the business continuing of the usual moderate character. • No question can, neverthe less, be entertained of the adequacy of the supply of capital, looking to the resources of the banks and the discount establishments. • The Committee of. the Stock Exchange have, according to a new arrangement, agreed, from and after the 17th inst., to remove the restriction against buying in Austrian Script, which it 'will be remembered it was resolved to enforce when the quotation was first authorised in the official list. The gold by the Asia was available yesterday, and nearly the whole has been taken for export. There were no transactions at the bullion depart ment of the Bank. Silver remains out of demand, and the quotations are nominaliy unaltered. The committee of Spanish certificate holders have received advices from their chairman, dated 24th February, at which date he was pursuing the object of his mission, notwithstanding an intimation from the Finance Minister on the 22nd, in answer to a question put to him in the Cortes, that the government had no intention at the present moment to disturb the arrangement of 1851. We have received the following from the Com mittee of the Spanish-American• Bondholders The agreement between the Venezuelan Ministei and the Committee 'of Spanish-American Bondholders for the arrangement of the Vene zuelan debt, was signed this day, and will be transmitted for ratification by the packet which leaves Southampton to-morrow. There is every reason to hope that Messrs. Baring and Co. will be appointed the agents of the Venezuelan Government. At the meeting of the Oriental Inland Steam Company to-day, Colonel Grives in the chair, a report was presented, stating that the first vessels had ' been safely landed in India, and it had been resolved to double the capital of the company, so as to fully occupy the important field presented for the company's operations. The accounts showed the receipts to have been 64,128/. 1 ls. 2d., leaving, after the disbursements, a balance in hand of 4,7321. 7s. 4d. The report was adopted. The meeting of the Submarine Telegraph Com pany was also held to-day, at which a favourable report of the traffic was presented, and stating that a new and beneficial contract had been entered into with the French Government. A dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum was' declared. It his intended, at the Railway Passengers' As surance meeting, about to be held, to propose a dividend after the rate of 4 per cent per annum, and to add thereto a bonus of is per share. During the year 1858 the income from insurance premiums' had considerably increased, and the casualties had been less than might have been estimated. Gloom once more overshadows the Stock Exchange, the most reassuring portion of the statements made by ministers on Friday night having been officially explained away.. The prospect of a ministerial 'crisis had likewise some effect. - The chief prejudicial influence, however, was due to a continuance of 'the large foreign sa'es of Lombirdo-Venetian and 'French Railway shares: 'With the approach of the 4th of the month, the demand for money: has become mo r e a c tiv e . F ew ' bills were dis counted to-day below 21 per cent. On the 'Paris Bourse, to-day, the Three per Cent. Rentes have fallen 1 per cent. The Austrian Funds fella per cent. at` Vienna , yesterday.

The English Funds opened this morning without alteration, but have since experienced' a further relapse of more than a quarter per cent. The accounts'frozn the Paris Bourse are still 'unfavourable. After regular hours there was a tendency to increased heaviness. The Government 'Broker to-day bought £20,000 consols for the savings banks. The, daily purchases - have now been taking place, with little intermission, for more than three months, and it is estimated" that they must have amounted to an aggregate of nearly £1,000,000. Money continues in fair demand, at 2 to 21 per cent. In the Foreign Exchanges this afternoon the rates on Austria have again advanced ; other places were about the same as laSt post.--Tinaes City Article, Tuesday Evening. always found amo the Israelites in the prop6nsitif the shape of at the ( toe lesson or this morning. The same people who exclaimed to Moses at the bottom of Sinai : " All that the Lord bath Said, we will do, speak thou with us and we will hear," the very people indulging in the demands f their sensuality were not able to bear Moses' absence, and showed so little ,forbearances towards the feelings of the great legislator, that they formed a golden calf, saying : " These are thy Gods, Israel, who brought thee out of the laud of Egypt." And into the footsteps of our ancestors, who were not able to bear and forbear, aro walking all these men,, who adore and wors hi p lik e a golden calf the inclinations of their hearts. Riches are blessings from heaven, and rich people are very often the greatest blessing of mankind; but as soon as riches are arm of a golden calf; they do harden our hearts, and make us callous towards the feelings of forbearance, and the slightest reverse of fortune finds us unprepared .to bear the strokes of fate ,with fortitude and manliness. Science .and knowledge are heavenly gifts, to enlighten our intellects and to develope the vast dominions of our spirit. But as soon' as they are employed in the. service of vainness and conceitedness, we worship only a golden .ealf, and become daily more presumptuous and self-opinionated. And, indeed, my brethern, it is not a prejudice' on our side, if we declare here loud and openly that the learned professions of lif e are principally deficient i n practising that spirit of leniency, that virtue of " hearing and forbearing," which we recommend so warmly in this day's discourse.

The Times says, this gathering is r certainly larger th*, obtained by any other statesman, gobably by the two Whig leaders combined The Herald speaks of the unanimity which o the above meeting. The Daily Hews says, that Lord Derby stated that 14 upon the second reading, or upon any main clauses of the bill in committee, they found themselves in a minori t Y , he shOuld unhesitatingly advise the Queen to disso lve P4rliament. Among the clauses whose rejection his lord ship is said to have pointed out as fatal to the meast ire ' was that regarding the disfranchisement of the cou nt] votes. of freeholders in towns. This is a challenge t° Lord John Russell. prei;ailed at THE REFORM BILL The newspapers are more decided this morning (IYeti ne'sday) in the expression of their views. The Daily News terms the Ministerial measure a crail project. - The Advertiser declaims against it as a preposteret ls and audacious measure. frame The Herald mildly i ns i s t s th a t th e bill has been in an impartial spirit, and offers a judicious settlement 01 a tedious controversy. That the extreme Radical pal should be disappointed is no more than might have been expected. They desire not to reform revolution; and the Herald thinks it is rather' remarkahle that Lord MA Russell should have lent' them his influence. _ The Post says, the bill pretty accurtiiely — corresponds t° what Mr. Disraeli promised the farmers that a Iteforra Bill of his should be. It would, he told them, be ma de subservient to a restoration of Conservative influence the House of Commons. The Post, after objecting t ° some details, especially those in reference t o f re eholders residing in boroughs, adds :--We are at a loss to under stand in what other manner such a bill is likely to operate than to stimulate agitation for a new measure. a. The Times hints that .no doubt M r . Di srae li h a s lets some of his work to bedcnie by the House, and particu larly by the diligent hands of his numerous antagonist s ' Neither the House nor the nation could be expected to assent all at once to, a sentimental scruple to disfran chisi4, one single borough. The Times supposes that the bill will be at least read a second time. 1114 reformers who have gathered so often about Mr. Locke King, or anyone who proposed any extension of the franchise can scarcely oppose the second reading, unless they think ' it wiser to wait and ag it a t e fi ve or six years or a better. The Star describes the bill as a compromise of party forces, instead of being at least an instalment of.popular clainis. Its authors have evidently calculated on out riding by Parliamentary support public dissatisfaction. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE HIGH WATER. ➢Zorn. Even.
