natural advance, based partly on the advance in
gold bars which was caused by competition among
the bullion brokers, and partly by desire on the
part Of cotton shippers to strengthen the hands Of
holders on the other side. These causes have now
in measure ceased to operates there Is less active
competition for bars; and the holders of cotton at
Liverpool have shown that they are quite able to
hold Ii without help from this side. Hence, the
inquiry for bills at the advance has fallen
OF It would, however, be erroneous to look
for any material decline in exchange at the present
time for actual cessation Of specie shipments
to Europe. II is neither probable nor desirable
that our specie export should cease. Ever since
California gold began to become staple export Of
the United States. the month Of May has always
witnessed a lively export movement Of specie
from this port. This time last year the leading
bankers were selling their sixty day bills at llol,
and we were shipping 100000 week. II was
so for several years before the crisis. This year
the export movement has been delayed, In conse-
quence, mainly, Of the very large export Of cotton
both from this and from Southern ports. But the
stoppage can only be temporary and partial.
II IL Just as essential TO the prosperity
Of the country TO export specie largely as TO ex-
port cotton; indeed, of the two, the specie export
il the more beneficial. Our specie export Is now
50 600 600 behind that Of last year, and the de-
cline as compared with last year, increases week
". II is 10 be expected and to be hoped that It
will not last. Our banks hold much moro specie
than they need; Il viii be better for them, better
for the commerce OF this country and better for the
prosperity Of our customers over the water, that
they lose rather than accumulate specie from this
time forward.
The internal exchanges exhibit no striking fea-
lures The usual spring fall in Eastern exchange
at Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati has been
checked by the copious purchases Of goods made
here by Western merchants. The West, though
far from clear Of debt, IL In better spirits than II
has known for some time. The accounts from
Europe, especially from Ireland, justify the ex-
pec,stion that breadstuns win be wanted abroad;
the heavy immigration h also justly regarded as
an indication of future activity. Philadelphia has
run in debt 10 us, and h losing gold. Some gold Is
also coming in rom The South; more slowly than
usual, however, in Consequence VI the heavy ope'

Last week witnessed pretty general advance in
stocks, predicated on the general recovery of the
Western country, on the probable movement of
grain, on the increase 81 immigration, on the ease
in money, and on the general confidence in the
prosperity Of tho country 1t large. The pending
Presidential Canvass the condition Of Europe, and
the bear elements which were 20 much in vogue Q
fortnight since ceased last week to attract stten
tion and the bulls had everything their own way.
An advance was reached Of "a per cent in New
York Central, 3per cent in Erie, l in Michigan
Central, in Michigan guaranteed, in Illinois
Central, 81 in Galena, in Rock Island, 81 in To-
ledo, IL in Hudson River, and 81 in Pacific Mail;
but, as was to be expected, this advance was not
maintained, and stocks reacted yesterday, closing
at the prices above stated.
From the harvesting of the good crop of 1859 1t
was evident that the course of the Western rail
way shares which we 70 then fearfally depressed
must be upward; the only question was when the
advance would come. So, now, one only needs to
look into the condition of things in the West to be
satisfied that that section Of country is on the
mend that its various interests are approaching in
value, and that even the greatest results Of the
past will fall short of the rewards that will be won
In the future. But those who expect all this to be
realized in week or month or two months will
be disappointed. The West Is yet very poor. The
Western people are very badly of for goods, and
cannot get them for want of money. One of the
largest cities Of the -Milwaukee-does not
pay its debts, and is steadily giving up its trade
and its industry to wiser and more honest cities.
On all the Western railways the passenger
traffic is actually less than it was q year
ago. These things show that the work of recovery
will be gradual and it is more than probable that
the advance in the securities, whose value de-
Ponds upon the prosperity Of the West, will be
gradual likewise.
Some more railway earnings for the first week in
May have reached MS, and we subjon table, with

Biblical Authority.

Hon. Geo. w Woodward, of the Su-
preme Court Of Pennsylvania, in a recent
address before the Philadelphia Law Acad-
cmy, stated that he found it impossible, on
one occasion when he was practicing law,
by any reasoning Of his own to dissuade an
old man client from conveying his estate
to his sons and sons-in-law in consideration
Of their bond to support him and his wife
for life; but remembering that he was a
reverential reader Of the Bible, the Judge
turned to the 33d chapter of Ecclesiasticus,
and read to the old man as follows:
Give not thy son and his wife, thy
brother and friend, power over thee, whilst
thou livest, and give not thy goods to an
other, lest it repent thee and thou entreat
for the same again
As long as thou livest and hast breath
in thee give not thyself over to any. For
better is it that thy children should seek
to thee, than thou shoulist stand to their
courtesy. At the time when thou shalt
end thy days and finish thy life, distribute
thine inheritance
Are those words in the Bible?' asked
the old man. Indeed they are, replied
the Judge; though they occur in one of
the Apochryphal Books No matter for
that he replied; viii take the advice
And the sequel proved, added the Judge,
that it was well he did
