No further developments were made yesterday AZ
this bank. The receiver (Mr. A. NAM is busily en-
gagged upon an examination OF Its affairs. He has
not yet been able TO arrive at any satisfactory est
mate of the liabilities OF the bank, but says that 30
far he has gone, ne nnds no reason to doubt the
assertion OF the officers that the deposltors VIII be
paid In iull.
He believed that a large amount OF the funds
OF the bank had been invested In real estate
but was not prepared to say whether or not the
arbitrary sale or the property would cause serious
loss. He knew nothing about the rumors OF specu
atlons by the President, ana expressed his unwll-

The Union square Bank.

Everything was quiet AZ this bank yesterday, de-
postors feeling satisfied that at the proper time they
would receive all that Is due them. The directors
and the receiver were busy all day examining the
books, but 80 far can only form an approximate
estimate OF the Indebtedness. Vice President Bixby
last evening placed the bills receivable at sara lo
and liabilities at about $s27,oOo. As yet they have
not received the sheet from the Clearing House,
fgures Tney have, however, other assets IN
Guiding 10000 In currency and $4,000 In
bonds, worth, with the premium, $4,000. Then
they have In claims on real estate, as collateral

about twenty thousand dollars, and $4,000 IN
cash items, q great deal OF which IL In currency.
Mr. Bixby therefore, believes the condition OF tho

Moral Effects Of Beauty.

! 1t has been said by Schiller, in
his letters on Nsthctic Culture,
that tho sense Of beauty never
furthcred tho performance Of Il
single duty. And though this
falsity is not wholly and in terms
admitted, yet it seems to be partly
and practically SO in much ofthe
doings and teachings oven Of holy
men who IN the recommending of
tho love Of God to us, refer but
seldom to those things in which it
is most abundantly and immc-
diatoly shown though they insist
much on His giving Of brcad, and
raiment, and health, (Which he
gives to all inferior crcaturcs),
thoy require us not to thank Him
for that glory Of His works which
he has permitted US alono to per.
ccive they tell us often to mediate
in tho closet, but they send IN not,
like Isaac, into the fields at even !;
they dwell on the duty Of self:
denial, but they exhibit not tho
uutS VI uellEnI.
1t seems to mo that the real
source of this bluntness in the
feelings towards the splcndor of
the grass and tho glory of tho
flowers are less to be found in oc-
cupation, in seriousness Of COM
passion, or hcavcnlincSs Of desire,
than in tho turning Of tho oyo at
intervals Of rest too scltishly with
in; the want Of power to shake
of tho anXicties Of actual and near
interest, and to leave the results
in Gods hands; the scorn Of al
that docs not seem immediately
apt for onr purposes, or open to our
understanding, and, perhaps, some
thing ofpridc which desires rather
to investigate than 10 feel.
believe that the root Of almost
every schism and hcrcsy from
which the Christian Church has
ever suffered ha, been the effort Of
men to earn, rather than to receive
their salvation : and that the rca-
son that preaching is 40 commonly
intellectual is that it calls on mon
ottcncr to work for God than to
behold God working for them. If
for every rebuke that VIC utter Of
mons vices VIC put forth claim
upon their hearts; it for every
assertion Of Gods demands for
them wo could substitute Il dis
play Of his kindness to them if,
in fine, instead of assuming tho
being of an awful Deity, which
men, though they cannot deny, arc
always unwilling, sometimes un-
able to conceive, We were TO show
them II near, visible, inevitable,
but all bencticcnt Deity, whose
presence makes the earth itself u
heaven, I think there would be
fewer deaf children sitting in the
market place. RnshiM.
