CkrUt declaring who mrt blutid, who art the fit of the earth, the light of the wrld, the city on an hill, the candle: that he came to fulfil the law What it it to kill, to commit adultery. to ewear: exhorteth to tuffitr wrong, to love even our tnemtet, and to labor after perfectnett: tpeakiug of aim u prayer, for giving our brethren, fatting where our treasure it to be laid up, of terving God and mammon: ex Uortet-1 not to -e carej'ui for worldly thing*: but to seek (iod'ti kingdom: reprovelh rath judgment forbiddeth to etui holy thing* to dogt, exhorteth to prayer, to enter in at the ttrait gate, to bewa e of fal*e prophet*, not to be heartre but doert of the word : like hoatet buitded on a rock, a ,d not on the aand. Ami seeiujj the multitudes, Jesus went up imo a mountain: uud wlteu he was set, his disciple* came U'lto Jihu: and lie opened hU inouth, and taught them, saying: Blessed arc the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Uiessed are ihey that mourn: lor they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: fur they shall be tilled Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Bicssed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peace makers: (or they shall be called the children of Uod. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness* sako: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye. when men shall revile you. and petsreute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad: lor great is your reward iu heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were be fore you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have Inst bis savour, wherewith shall it be salted! it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid Neither do men light a c.indle, and put it un dern bushel, but on a candlestick; and it ^ivethlight unto all that are in the house. Let yfeur light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify you* Father which is in heaven. T link not that 1 am come t"? destroy the law, nor the prophets: 1 am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one j'ltor one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That ex cept your righteousness shall exceed the righteous ness or the scribes aod Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: but I say unto y u, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and wh'soever shall say t? ins brother, Kaca, shall be iu danger of the council: but whosoever shall ?ay, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell-fire There fore if thou bring thy gilt to the altar, and there re me uberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; lir?t be reconciled tothy brother, and th-n come and offer tbv gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, while tfiou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee tothe judge, and the"judge deliver tbec to the officer, and thou be cast into pri son. Verity I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost fart Mag. Ye ha v e heard that it wit said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: but I ?y unto \ ou, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lost after her bath committed adultery with her already in his heart And if thy right e>e offend thee, pluck it out.aud cast it from the?: for it i*t prof-table for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not th.t thy whole body should be east into bell. And if thy right land mfend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. It hath been naid, Who soever sin 11 put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: bat I say aato you. That whosoever si all put away his wue, saving for the eause of fornicatiou, eauseth her to commit adul tery. and whosoever shall marry her that is di vorced committeth adultery Again, ve have heard that it hath been said by thi oi of old time. Thou shalt not forswear thyself but nhalt perform unto the Lord thiue oaths. But 1 say unto you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; fer it is the city of the great King Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make oae hair white or black. Hut let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: but I say untj you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anv man will sue thee at the law, and take thy coat let him have thy cloak also And who sover shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain liive to him that asketh thee, and from him that w?uld borrow of thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said. Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hute thine enemy. Hut I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse yon, do good to them that hate yew, and pray for them which despitefully use yon and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the ju*t and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye! do not evea the publicans the nae 1 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others 1 do net evea the publican* so? Re ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is |>erfeet. Take heed that ye do not yoar alas before men, to he seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward ef your Father which is in beavea. Therefore when thoudnest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Veri ly 1 say unto you, Fbev have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let aot thy left band know what thy right handdoeth* that thiae alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seetb in secret, himself shall reward thee openly. And when tbou prayest, thou shalt not be at the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing ia the synagogues and in the comers of the streets, that they toay be seen of meu. Verily I say unto you. They have their reward. But thou, when thoa pray est, enter into thy closet, and when thou bast shut thy door, pray to thy Fa*her which i? in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. Bat when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: Tor they think that they shall be heard for their as?h speaking. Be a?t ye therefore like antothera: for your Father knoweth what thiars ye have need of before ye ask him After this meaner therefor* pray ye: Our'Father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom eome. Thy will be dime in earth, as it ie in heaven. Give us this dey our daily bread Aad forgive us oar debts, as we forgive our debtnre And lead us not into tempta tion. bat deliver as from evil: for thiae is the hiag For if re forgive men their tree|>s*ses, your heaven ly Father will aleo forgive yon but if ye forgive not mea their trespasses, neither will yoar Father forgive your tres|?asfes. dom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen Moreover, wbea ye feet be not a. the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their feces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily 1 say unto von, They have their reward Hat thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, an<< wssh thy face; that thou appear aot ante hi- n to fs*t, I ut unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which eeeth ia secret, shall reward thee openly. Lay not ap for yoarselvee treasures upon earth, where moth end rust doth eorrupt. and where thieves break through aad steal: hut ley ap f?w yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, nnd where thhvsi do not break through aor steal, for where yoar treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body ie the eye: If therefore thiae eye be single, thy whole body shall he fall ot light. Hat i# thi?e eye he evil, thy whole body shall he fall of darhne??. If therefore the I light that is in thee be dsrtmesf, how great Is that darkness! fl# mm eaa servetwe western: for either he will ' hate the oae, aad lore the otker, or else he will hold to tb? om, and deapia* the other. Ye cannot Mru God and iifrn I'heref re I mt unto you. Take ?o thought for your life, trhatye anall eat, or wrhjt ye ahall driak; aor yat for your body, whaty* shatl put on. le not the lit? more than meat, and the kody lbaa nuuieut?

Which of yoaby Inking thought can uJd one cubit unto hi* ((attire1? And why take ye tbougfct lor raiment? Consider the fellies of the field, bow they trow; they toil not, aci ther do they ?pnt: and yet 1 say unto you, That even Solomon in all hi" glory wan not arrayed like one of these Wherefore, ii God ao clothe tne grass of tho field, wh'cli today is, nd tomorrow is c?st iau> tlie oven, shall lie not much more clothe you, O ye of lit tlcfaith? Ilurtfore take no thought, saying, What >tin 11 wreetl or, Wtlut shall we drink? or, Where withal shall we be clothed ? (for alter all these things do the Gentiles *e?k:)'for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all theae thint's But seek yt fii >t ilu- kingdom of God,and hi* righteous ness; ami all theae things shall be added unto you Take theraiore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow slull take thought foe the things of itaelf .'Sufficient unto the day is tiie evil thereof Judge not that ye he not judged For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure je mete, it shall he measured to you again. And why beholdc-t thou the moTethat is in thy bro ther's eye, hut considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? or how wilt thou say to thy brother. Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, be hold a beam is hi thine own eye? 1'hou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out el thine own eye; and then shalt thou see c learly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eve. Give not thut which is holy nnto thr dogs, neither cast ye your pearls belore a wine, lest they trample them under then feet, and turn again and rend you A?k, and it shall he given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opeued unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seek eth fineth; and to him (hat knocketh it ahall be open ? d. Or what wu? is there of you, whom if his aon ask bread, will he- give him a stone? or if he a?k a fa ah. will he give hiiu a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your child ren, how mneh more shall your Father which is in htaven give good things to them that a-k hi hi? There fare all things whatsoever ye would that men ahould do to you, do ye even Ao to them: fortius is the law and I he prophets. Eater ye in at the strait gale: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, tha' leadeth to destruction, and many there he which go in thereat: because (trail is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are raveuing wolves. 1 e ahall know them by their fruits Do men gather grapes of thorna, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree brinpeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fiuit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a cor rupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire Wherefore by their fruita ye shall know them. Noi every one that saith unto me, Lord. Lord shall enter uito the kinutioiu of heaven; but he that d..eth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day. Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and hi thy name nave cast out devils! and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never ki.ew you: depart from me, je that work iniquity. Tberei ore whosoever licareth these sayings of mine, and docth them, I will liken him unio a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock And every one that hear eth these sayings of mine, and noeth them not, shall be likened unto a fooli>h man, which built his house upon the sand: and the ram descended, aad the floods came, and the winds blew, and heat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

The whigs, 1 believe, have pretty much abandon ed the idea of electing a Speaker from their own ranks; and, as if conscious of their inability to do so, begin to talk very respectfully and kindly about Francis L. Pickens, and say, that if they cannot get their owu man, they will prefer liiui infinitely to any other man the locofocos can run. This is all well enough, and I see no reason why any one should com plain at their preference. But, if the whigs, are op posed to locofoco doctrines, it is marvelous strange to me, that they should bate any kindly feeling* to wards Mr. Pickens. If in the honest avowal of a most deadly hostility to a 1 bank?, it an uudenied and unequivocally ex pressed hatred ol all c rporatmns, il a settled and irrepressible hostility to the credit system,constitute a locofoco, there is the Honorable Francis L.

Il is understood, by the many,that at an early day of tlie Session, a distinguished Member from New York, will introduce a resolution of order, requiring the members to refrain from blowing their noses on tne desks and damask curtains. In reference to the topics that are to be embraced in the Message of the President, we have as is usual a great variety of r tmnrs. Some of them arc proba bly well fouuded, but, a large majority are uuques 'lonably destitute of foundation. A gentleman who deals largely aud somewhat learnedly, perhaps, in court gossip and scandal, and who I suppose knows as much as any one else, about the determinations of the President, informed me yesterday , that a deputa tion ?,f gentlemen from New York, frienus of the ad ministration, had been lure, and advised Mr. Van Huren to recommend some measures, of a conserva tive nature, in a re ation to the Hanking System of the Country. It was urged, I understand, with much vehemence, that some action of the kind u as neces sary to secure the Electoial vote of the State of New York. The subject, for the moment, was entertained by th# President, and considered dispassionately, wheu Col Benton was vent for, to advise oil Hie sub jeet t he Colonel recei ved the proposition id great dudgeon; treated it with the most profound con tempt and ;?bhorreaec, and km about quittiRg the palace in a rage, when Mr. Van Buren promptly as >erted that tue subject should be- dismissed umavo r bly, and nothing snore should be said in relation to it. The gentlemen from New York were, the uext day, informed by Mr. Van Baren, tnut, alter having maturely considered their suggest ions, he had ar rived n't the conelusion, that as the Constitution provied bat one mode lor the regulation ot the currency, he could aotconsent to take any steps ol a conservative kind, calculated to subserve their wishes. So much for runor aad gossip. The story is nndoubtedly equivocal: but be that as it may, it is proper to say, that no relief need be expect< d by the country at the hands of the appr lactung Con gress. The vexed financiers of the Union will he left to make out their own redemption, in tact, and I state it without entertaining any disrespect tor any one, nothing can or will be dona by the administra tion, at the approaching session, that dors not meet the concurrence of Mr. Calhoun and Col. Benton.? Those two men will manege the country.

Yours truly, Tobias Tkott. Mii Esrv upset Professor Olmsted in his lecture at the Clinton Hall last night. His theory is an im provement on that of Mr. Redfiald, who says that inevery hurricaae, tornado, and gale,the wind blows ia a whirlwind motion. From the facts produced by Professor Espy last avaniag, it is apparent that tne air rushes into a centra, ascends, and passr* off pre cisely as the air ia a room will rash to the fire-place and go up through the chimney, and expand at the top. His experiments with the common fire pump showed the? effect of condensation and expansion of air Ry forcing down the piston; the air is con densed, and a great beat produced, and by drawing it out again, theairof course is expanded, and a cloud generated by tha rarefaction of the air. As the air ascends and expands, it grows cold at the rata of one degree for every bendred yards; and as vaponr is turned to raia by cold, hall ' r rain will tall in the centre of a stoim.
