Arnold speaks ' .-of the question of the fallibility <^;^ f allibility of the Scriptures as " that momentous question which i ftjirolVes in it such a shock to existing notions ; the greatest , pro-$ » blyf that . has ever been given since the discovery of the falsehood of ¦ 'lie' ) doctrine of the _ Pope ' s infallibility . Yet it must come , he continues , and will end in spite of the fears and clamours of the weak and bigoted , " in the higher exalting and more sure establishing of Christian ftutlL" Dr . Hinds , Bishop of Norwich * argues that , "it is not truth of all Jfiildk that the Bible was inspired to teach , but only such truth as tends to religious edification ; and the Bible is consequently infallible , as far as rje & ards this and this alone . " The scholarly and logical Whately maintains that " in matters , indeed , unconnected with religion , such as points of history , or natural philosophy , a writer who professes ( as the Apostles do ) id be communicating a divine revelation , imparted to him through the means
of miracles * may be as liable to error as other men , without any disparagejnent to his pretensions . " His credentials , however , ought to be well vised t * attest that he is not an impostor . Dr . Hampden , Bishop of Hereford , epes still further than the writers we have quoted , and shows that Christianity left ethical science precisely where it found it ; and that all the duties which ethical science prescribes" remain on their old footing , not altered or weakened , but affirmed and strengthened by the association of religion . 'fA ' fad : so independent , " he continues , "is the science of ethics of the support arid the ennobling which it receives from religion , that it would be nothing strange or . objectionable in a revelation , were we to find embodied in its language much" of the false ethical philosophy which systems may have estabi &| Ted . This , I conceive , would appear to those who bear in mind the real distinctness of religion and moral science , nothing more objectionable than
( he admission into the sacred volume of descriptions involving false theories of natural philosophy . " It is in this way that the right reverend prelate would cancel the passages that militate against the high moral character of the Beity in the Bible , where the treachery and assassination of Jael , for instance , are represented as noble deeds ; where the extirpation of different tribes is Jriiici' to be authorized by God ; and where the prevarication of Abraham 1 ^ ' mentioned without reprehension .

' w ¦ : ¦ ¦ ¦ THE CHARACTER OP IAGO . A vert interesting lecture on one of the most subtle and profound of Shakspkare ' s characters was delivered on Wednesday evening , at the Marvlebone I « iterary and Scientific Institution , by Mr . Chabz . es A . Cole . The object of the lecturer was to show that logo is not , as generally supposed , a mere devil , but that he is a man of a perfectly natural , every-day character—a person such as we frequently encounter in our common intercourse—a sceptic , a materialist , a utilitarian , who measures vice and virtue , good and evil , or whatever else presents itself to his scoffing intellect , simply by the profit it will yield him . " Will it pay ?"—that is his only thought .: He sneers at all things , even at himself and his own jibing heart , till at length , like the ancient Sophists , he doubts whether he doubts , and , addressing the " Divinity o Hell , " becomes a Manichsean , and worships the Spirit of Evil . Every sceptic should tremble at renexion oi nimseu is not incarnation
mm as a . xe v ne a mere ot vice from the first , but is led on gradually to the commission of his final villany , which , at the commencement of bis career , he has not even proposed to his own soul . He fancies that Othello has injured him by seducing his wife ; afterwards , he is realty injured by being placed in an inferior position in the army to Cassia , who has had less experience than himself . This slight gives him an excuse for paltering with his inmost mind , and representing his revenge on Castio as a public-spirited act . He becomes " an Administrative Reformer , who has been irritated by being passed over in favour of a person of less worth , and sent to the Crimea , after long experience , with a featherbed soldier over his head . " In the like manner—under a distorted sense of doing something he is justified in doing—he lures Othello into misery and crime , and Desdemona to her death . Othello himself is a man of noble heart , with imagination and passions so strong as to overbalance his intellect , which is comparatively weak ; and he is punished t ' rtt * -nnt- moatiniv + Tia 4 ! nat rvna-ft .-v insinuations rkF Trtnn in flip wjiv f .

In thus shadowing forth the salient points in the two great characters of the drama , Mr . Cojle begged his hearers to remember that Shakspeake never puts forth cut-and-dry lessons after the copybook fashion , but leaves the moral to rise naturally from the incidents and persons ; that he is not professedly didactic ; and that he does not seek to impress any sharply-defined maxims of right or wrong , " as in a child ' s impromptu play , or the works of great French dramatists . " "An effeminate modern moralist "
would have disabused Othellos mind in time , would have saved JJesdemonas lite , and made all end happily ; but not so Shakspeahe . Such is a brief abstract of the theory propounded by Mr . Cole—an abstract in which we cannot do justice to the felicities of expression by which the criticisms were worked out , or to the clear and forcible manner , in which they were delivered . The " conception of logo is perhaps not entirely new , but it rescues Shakbpeare from the foclish charge of having made a mere monster of purposeless malignity . We ^ cail only express our entire assent in Mr . Cole's views , and congratulate him on the earnest attention with which he was
listened to , and the applause with which he was greeted , by an evidently thoughtful auditory . '• • . . ¦ . . ., ... . .. . .-.,. i . ..,..- .. . ¦ ,- ,, - . .. ¦• .,. . ¦ - , By the way , Mr . Col , b said that , when logo has successfully poisoned Othello ' s mind , he concludes , "likea newspaper editor of the present day , " by exhorting him not to . think too . much of thereports in circulation . Now , we take exception to , being classed , together with our brethren , as so many logos . . , ,

London , Friday Evening , Juno 20 , I 860 . The state of our market is much more satisfactory sinco last week . The American dilllculty seems in a fair wa > or being arranged , and the tomporato tone taken by our ministers has had the offoct of giving groat conlldoiico to th Tlio funds ore 04 | ox dividend , and all the English Hharp market has iTelt tho Improvement . Lo" ^" , » " ^ H Westerns , Brightons , Berwloks , Loods . and Midlands , aro U . to aos . bettor than at the settlement of tho account . In foreign Stooks . Moxl 6 an stock hangs flro . No prepara' . ¦ , ' . s ' ' .
tions are talked of for the payment of dividends , as had boon < once fondly anticipated . In Turkish six and four per centg there are strong buyers at 102 and 104 . J respectively . Foreign railway shares are not so good . Thoro has been a sudden rise in tho much despised Swedish railway shares . Jt is a complete lottery-ticket buying a 5 / - share at 11 . ; you may get your money back with cent , percent , interest , or lose all your money . Money is ruuen easier , and the increase of bullion from Australia and other parts of the world will go far to force tho banks to reduce their rates . Tho monetary stato of France is considered as unhealthy , and tho mystery of a budgot never being revealed under that happy despotism , every one is in the dark as to expenditure and resources , and in this case tho worst may bo expected . _ It is to be hoped that the summer may prove fine throughout Europe , to alleviate the possible dearth arising from tha fearful inundations which have taken place in France . It seems a nervous time just now even here—tho weather far from settled , and all these accidents raise or depress our sensitive plants . " Consols .
