It has algo been styled the Great Week, the Painful Week, the Week of Sorrows, the Days of the Cross, &c. ‘Zhese designations are given because during this ‘week are commemorated the passion and death of Qhrist. All the prayers, lessons and exhortations of ‘Qe Church are formed so as to direct the mind more fereibly to the awful and solemn mysteries con- meeted with the immolation of the Son of God for the redemption of mankind.

Dr. Foss’ resolution prevailed. After prayer six tellers were appointed and the @onference proceeded to ballot for eight delegates to the General Conference. ‘The allowances to supernumeraries, superannuated widows and orphans, &c., were next discussed seriatim and suitable appropriations made.

APWe usual hour, nine o'clock, yesterday morn- fig this body was convened, Bishop Janes occupy- ing the chair. At the conclusion of the roll call Rev. Beman Bangs offered a resolution requesting the bishops to appoint the meeting of the Conference on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in April. After some discussion it was laid upon the table. An @tection was entered into for delegates to the Gen- eral Conference, which resulted in the choice of Rev. ‘William Pilsbury. The balance will be balloted for en Tu morning. During the time of the count- of the batiots Rev. Dr. Kynett, Secretary of tne rch Extension Society, made an address, nti the necessities of the South- em Church. The result of his earnest ad- dress was that $218 was collected. The report of the Oenference Centenary Committee, was presented by is, and it was found that during the centenary 672,142 26 had been contributed. From the Feasurer’s report of that committee it was proved that the receipts had been $6,572 75, his expenditures 9476 75, leaving a balance of $665,629 51 yet to be eellected. Mr. William ‘Thompson was received as a Joeal elder. This concluded the important business of the session, and the Conference adjourned until hhall-past seven o’clock on Monday evening. ‘he Northern Methodists Preparing the Way for Re-enslaving the Blacks and Whites Also. ‘¥6 Mit Horror of rae HeRarp:— “The religion of the North is bouna to role this eontinent, and those who stand in the way (as you all 4 tn the South) must get out of the way.” Such is tile assertion of a Northern Methodist minister (so @alled) of Chicago, in a recent letter to the Knoxville Pree Press. He again says that “religion is simply one’s conviction of duty to one’s self, his fellows and his Creator,”’ and “has nothing to do with rewards ‘and punishments in some other world, but belongs entirely to one’s sojourn on this earth.” He also says:—‘ We have our own views and sentiments, whieh, with us, are the Creator's views and de- sires as to us, and being the stronger, we an- Bounce onr claim, by God's laws, to all ‘those men and things which come in our way. We therefore claim to own in fee simple eve erson and thing in all the conquered South in any wise ap- ing to the Southern people, whether white or kK. The blacks belong to us Just as well as the whites; and if it were our religion to buy, sell and ‘Work them as slaves then it would be done, unless a stronger religion shouid interfere to prevent us,’” How long, then, are the blacks to expect to be exempt from the grasping cupidity of such religion- = It will be erved that in defining his religion he places his duty to himself before his duty to his Creator or to lis fellows, and we may infer, theres fore, that considerations of private interest will be Paramount to any sense of duty towards God er of obligation to his feilo beings, the more especially as he distinctly disavows belief in @ future state of rewards Punishments. Is it to be wondered at, there- fore, that such men have no reverence for the con- stitution and laws of the country, which so fre- SS, conflict with their own will? Whatever ds in the way of their whims or caprices is an obstacle and “must be put out of the way.” The Bidie and the constitution, when found inapplicable to their preordained purposes, must both be studied, notin the light of the interpretations of contem poraneous writers and with the aid of judicial dect- gions, but with the view to the exigency of a party. Have we not an explanation of the recent attempts te displace the President and to intimidate the Su- preme Court in the motives and principles of action gvowed by this aspirant to universal rule on this eontinent? Have we not the cloven foot of the Jacobin clearty exposed fram under the assumed garb of the Northern Metiodist? out the United States. We are happy to state that the religious interest which we have noticed heretofore as prevailing ronghout the country still prevails. These revivals @re not confined to any single sect, but the whole Feligious world seems to be blessed with the ont- Pourings of Divine grace. During the past fortnight the Holy Spirit has fallen upon 120 additional @harches. The converts in these now number 4,550, of whom 4,364 are already members of the Church. Trerefore, since January 1 we have noticed the oc- currence of 820 revivals, in the course of which 16,500 have been hopefully converted and 10,800 ave been added to the churches. Revivals in forty Presbyterian churches, resulting in an accession of 044 inembers, have been reported guring the past night, Revival intelligence has been received from forty-two more Baptist churches, to which 1,380 eonverts have been added on profession of their faith. Among the churches thua blessed are three ta Chicago and three in Litnols, at Normal, Spring- Geld and Bloomington.

Particulars reach us of the remarkable outpouring of the Spirit in Kansas, at Atchison and Leavenworth. At the former place, since the baginnlng of the interest, 142 have united witn the Baptist church, and in Leaven- wrth 100 converts have been baptized, while the colored church has received an accession of forty members on profession of their faith. In California two open communion churches at San Francisco aud Vallejo are enjoying a season of religious interest.

REVIVALS AMONG THE ROMAN CATHOLICS. The 7ublet gives the following account of a fervent revival among the Catholics in Connecticut:—“On Sunday, March 1, three fathers of the Order of St. Dominic opened a mission at St. Mary’s church, Nor- wich, The test fervor prevailed during the three weeks which the mission continued. Fears were en- tertained lest the church building might give way beneath the dense throng: by which it was packed every night. The confessionals were also crowded every day and night. Quite a number of the cler of the diocese rendei valuable ice in the confessional, and manifested therein a genuine mis- sionary spirit. Two more Dominican Fathers also ar- rived ‘during the second week, and their services were highly appreciated. The result of the mission was:—3,600 communions, hundi of strayed sheep brought back to the fold, lishment of the confraternities of the Holy Rosary and of the Angelic Warfare and other heavenly graces. We understand that the Fathers of the same Order opened inissions on Sunday, 22nd ult., in St. Patrick's church, Hartford, and in St, John’s church, Albany, N. Y. Amusements and Churches—Picty and Card Playing. The Obdserver—Presbyterian—selects from Mrs. Stowe’s last work the following expressions of one of her characters upon which to hang a homily on the sinfulness of Christian people enjoying them- selves by going to theatres, dancing and indulging in other rational amusements:— I think, if the different churches of a city, for ex- ees would rent a building where there should be a billiard table, one or two ni in alleys, a reading room, a garden and unds for ball playing or inno- cent lounging, that they would do more to keep their young people from the ways of sin than a Sunda: school could. Nay, more, I could go further. would have a portion of the building fitted up with scenery and a stage, forthe getting up of tableaux or dramatic performances, and thas give scope for the exercise of that histrionic talent of which there 18 so much lying unemployéd in society. The Observer then quotes from a cotemporary:— “Think of Paul dancing or Peter playing billiards ! Do you think we shall have checker boards in heaven? This is no argument; it is sheer nonsense and most unworthy trifing over @ serious subject. “Think of Paul dancing? Well, think of him! Think of Paul wearing @ blue swallow-tailed coat with brass buttons! Think of Peter skating, cutting figures of eight and performing outer ‘exe back- wards | Think of John in a white cravat, or of Bar- tholomew putting up seidlitz powders, or of Timothy running witha fire engine! How would they have looked? “Would you play chess on your death- bedy? Probably not, my friend. Neither would I put on my boots or do a great many very innocent things at such a time, And hereupon our od school brimstone Presby terian contemporary discourses as follows :— We would go as faras the furthest and as fast as the fastest to encourage tnnocent amusements. We love them, indulge in them; we play as hard as we work, and enjoy both with equal zest. We laugh so loudly as, perhaps, to be an annoyance unto our neighbors, and no man will accuse us of being opposed to wholesome sports in their time and place. But if at the foot of an inclined plane oT gong there was a bottomless pit, and we had seen for a long, long time that very many who ventured to play on that plune slipped down and down, and finally into destruction, we should advise our young folks to make themselves merry on another floor, where no such danger jurked be- low. It would not alter our opinion of it that a stout pair of legs could resist the downward slope ; nor that many had enjoyed the peril and were none the worse for the experiment. Enough for us that ex- perience has shown it to be dangerous, and that there are exercises equally useful and entertaining, which never exposed any one to harm and are cer- tainly safe. If we stood at the head of the ular writers of our country, or on the height of a ( Erfstian pulpit, we would noi, for all the gold of California and the diamonds of Brazil, advise one young man or one young woman to pursue an amusement that has been followed by such results as have marked the history of the card table and the theatre. If we believed that the Young Men's Christian Association of this city were to be seduced by evjl counsels into the adoption of such measures to eritertain their members, we would invoke them to pause and consider. But we have no fears that their judgment will be perverted by popular appeais to the sentiment of the age. They have sense enough to know that a thing may net be wrong and yet be very inexpedient; and they have principle to resist the temptation to do an unwise thing for the sake of temporary popular effect. And wea our Christian churches find it in their line of things to run card tables and theatres the ministers at the altar may be discharged from further service, Touching this subject of sinful secular amusements; Archbishop Spaukling has been spoiling the fun of those of his flock who have been indulging in what are calied “round dances.” He calls speciai attention to the utterances of the Pastoral letter of the late Plen- ary Council at Baltimore tn reference to these dances. bastoral was signed by the Roman Catholic ops of the United States, and has now been ap- proved by the Holy See. It says:—“ We consider it our duty to warn our people against those amuse- ments which may easily become to them an occa- sion of sin, and expecially against those fashionable dances, which, as ani carried on, are revoltin, to every .fecling of delicacy and propriety, an fraught with the greatest danger to morals." ‘The stated meeting of the managers was held at the Bible House, Astor place, on the 2d inst, The de- cease of Dr. Isaac Wood, one of the managers, was announced to the Board, Whereupon the Rey.

Yesterd: ‘SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Celebration of the Rochester Knockings Anni- versary in Boston—Trance and Other Speeches—Inspirational Poems and Hywns— A Terpsichorean Festival. Boston, April 1, 1868, The twentieth anniversary of the discovery of modern spiritualism, or what was at the time more popularly known as the “Rochester knockings,” was celebrated here on a liberal scale yesterday and last evening by the spiritualists of New England and vicinity. The festivities took place in the Music Hall and were of a varied and somewhat jovial char- acter. Probably not less than two thousand par- ticipated, and besides the usual number of speeches, inspirational and otherwise, there was a children’s celebration, and after the intellectual effusions of the evening the adults united in tripping the light fantastic toe until an early hoar in the morning. At the evening meeting Dr. H. F. Gardiner, one well known to spiritualists, was chosen to preside. In calling the meeting to order he said he had under- stood that there was one man present who had made his boasts during the day that he should occupy a good portion of the evening in presenting his own peculiar views on spiritualism, and that all other speakers would be obliged to yield him the floor. Dr. Gardiner added that if the man attempted to carry out his threat and violate the rules of decency he would instantly be ejected by a police force who were on duty in the hall for that special purpose, These words evidently had the effect to intimidate the evil disposed member, for the proceedings began and Went on to the end without interruption, The President commenced by extending a cordial greeting to those who had come together for the pur- pose of uniting in a celebration in lionor of the twen- tieth anniversary of the advent or discovery of mod- ern spiritualism. He thought such an army as had as- sembied op the occasion was suflicient to show to the world that spiritualism is immortal in principle, and that in spite of all obstacles and superstitions it will continue to live and thrive. He then stated that the first discovery of this modern spiritualism was made by a Miss Fox, in a small village known as Hydeville, near the city of Rochester, inthe State of New York, who was the first to com- municate by raps with those in the spirit. world, He himself believed that before the present century communication was had in some form with the spirits, but in consequence of public opinion, ignorant bigotry and superstition it was not made practical until about twenty years ago, and since that time no Jess than eleven millions of the most intelligent people in the world have had com- munication with their friends in the golden world, ‘The glad sound, he continued, seems to echo over the whole world that man is immortal and his soul secure ; and when he saw so many people coming to appreciate this he felt that it was joy enough for one day, and he would like to have some of the learned rofessors of fair Harvard come forward now, if they had the courage, to dispute the actual practica- bility of spiritualism and repeat their assertion that it was detrimental to the morals of the human race. Mrs. Emma Frances Jay Bullene, the first trance speaker who ever appeared in Boston, then spoke in the trance state for about half an hour. She said that thirteen years had passed since she, a timid and shrinking maiden, had come to the city a glimmer- ing star, and that since that time spiritualism had shown out in glorious midday effulgence, shedding a shadow of that world of fadeless beauty where the wicked are not troublesome and the good are at rest. It was a glorious truth, which bad given birth to new truths and happier conditions of mind, and for all the worid these truths have been spoken that the people may be glorified by the grand announcement that all are immortal, that there is no dark shadow of death, but that all is hope, wisdom, knowledge and truth, and that all darkness and shadows are dispelled. Manifestations inaumerable stand out in bold relief against all denials, and they burn with a steady and brilliant Ment to show that the dead can speak to the world with language so potent that none can dispute its power. Some years ago, she edutinued, a rosebud daughter was born her, whose physical powers were so mediumistic that hundreds of angels from the spirit were daily transcended to her sphere, aud for five hours at a time that star would burn, giow and scintilate, challenging all mortals to gainsay its pow- er. The superstitions said that it was a forerunner of death, but she tg claimed, and ead, too, that however young the infant, 1t possessed all the mag- netism of those more mature, and could speak with a oti equal to that star that hailed the coming miracle, and she hoped that ail her spiritual frienus would see to it and treasure up every little waif of a pure thought, for it is them to whom they are to look for @ personttication of the pure faith of a coming immorwlity through the glowing stars of eternal th. After Mrs. Bullene’s trance remarks the President Tead despatches from the oficers of spirital meetings assembled during the day in Cleveland and Chicago, ‘The one from the former city was:—“West to East greeting—one in action to-day, and one in purpose and one in destiny always.” The Chicago despatches announced that the spiritualisis in Wat city were having a glorious time. Seldon J. Finney, of Troy, N. ¥., was then intro- duced. He claimed that the table upon which the raps are made is the only door which stands between materialism and the spirit world, and those who come from that golden land make known their resence by their raps. The advance in spiritualism, ie added, is rapid and progressive, and none could dispute but this was actually an era when the interiors of men are bemg opened and gleais of light penetrating the Inmost recesses of their hearts, Ali literature bearing the mark of enius is imbued with modern spiritaail nd even lenry Ward Beecher, who sometimes pre: 8 a BET. mon in the personality of the devil, is sure on the next Sabbath to preach in the personality of God, all of which indicates that we rising nearer and ‘nearer to tie spirit world, and that the vell between us 18 rapidly becouitng Uunner and more trans) nt. It indicates that men have other ambitions than for wealth and political fame, and that the truly spiritual are too exalted to descend to treasure hunting. The silent magnetisin of ange! relatives in death is irre- sistible, and in spite of <a it INVvigorates the human heart with fresh faith inthe divine and the summer land. In concluding he said that spiritual- ism is destined to become the great religion of the land as surely as the American empire is destined to become the great nation of the world. ‘There then followed an inspirational poem by Miss Lizzie Doten, and, after a brief address by Professor William Denton, the exercises were brought to a close by the singing of an original hymn to the air of “ Auld Lang Syne,” composed in spirit life by Miss A. W. Sprague, aeceased some five years since, and given inspirationally by Miss Doten. One of the stanzas was as follows:— The world hath felt a quickening brent From Heaven's eternal share, And souls triumphant over Death Return to earth once more. For this we hold our jubilee, ‘ EE eeR re tcegs Oh} Death; where is thy auing The audience having retired for a few moments, the hall was cleared of the seats, and the company returned and united in a Terpsichorean iestival wn- til a late hour in the morning. Adventists’? Convention at Boston, {¥rom the Evening Telegram of yesterday.) Boston, April 4, 1868, ‘The Adventists of Massachusetts—oi whom there is a considerable numbtr—are gradually receding from the belief of the immediate coming of Christ and the destruetion of ali things earthly. There has been @ convention of them assembled here, and their general declarations have been adverse to the former radicai pre-milleunial doctrine, although the basis of a Christian life and character as a security for salva- tion in the event of a possible millennium, which some assert may not be far distant, is urged. Gen- erally, liowever, the attendants are not of the belief, but seem to counsel preparations for the hereafter, the same a6 other religionisis. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sarunpay, April 4—6 P. M. The gold market has been very firm to-day, and the fluctuations were from 1383, to 138%, the closing quotation being 13814 9 13834, The rates paid for carrying were easier than yesterday, most of the loans having been made at about 3-64, but the latest transactions were at 1.64 per cent. The extreme range of the week was from 1393¢ to 137%. The gross clearings amounted to $47,461,000, the gold balances to $2,693,451 and the currency balances to $3,974,538. The steamer Europe, for Havre, took out $569,340 in specie and bullion, and the Denmark, for Liverpool, $60,400, making a total of $1,281,052 for the week. The advance in the premium was due to, the partial abatement of monetary stringency and diminished pressure in consequence to sell coin for cash, Most of the brokers car- tying securities having previously made their arrangements for money until Monday, there was a very light demand, and although an elghth per cent Was offered to turn stocks fintil Monday during the forenoon, and seven per cent in coin was pald for loans, there was the usual Saturday change for the better before three o'clock, and the legal rate in cur- Tency was accepted by those who had balances to lend. The indications are, however, that the ensuing week will open upon renewed stringency, although, of course, not to the extent already experienced, as the return flow of currency from the interior will, before next Saturday, have materially augmented the volume of loanable funds ‘at. this centre, The stock market responded but feebly to this change in the monetary situation, and the tendency of prices was drooping until after the second board. The motions in the Vander- bilt Erie suits came up to-day before Judge Barnard, ‘and were further adjourned to Saturday next. Mr. Jay Gould, the director arrested and bailed at Albany, made his appearance in court, and after considerable argument it was agreed that he should be served with a bill of interrogatories, returnable on Wednes- day next, he meanwhile giving bail in the sum of $5,000, The statement of the associated banks of this city for the week ending to-day shows a decrease in all the items of the account except the circulation, which has increased $36,300—namely, in the loans and discounts $3,090,356, in the specie $226,063, 4n the net deposits $5,568,282, and in the legal tender notes $413,372, The totals of the present and last preceding statements are as follows:— 61,709,706 At the commencement of business the stock market was firm at a slight advance upon the closing quota- tions of yesterday, and at the early session of the open board Erie sold at 73% and New York Central at 122%. Paciflc Mail was pressed for sale, the transactions aggregating 6,000 shares at 9734 a 9754. At the first regular board the market was dull, and the pressure to sell cash stock, which has been noticeable for some days past, showed only @ partial abatement. Pacific Mall was with- out improvement and a very bearish feeling pre- vailed with regard to it, the report being that the opposition is going to run steamers weekly on both oceans, and that the Pacific Mail Company is about to make @ further considerable reduction in the rates of fare and freight ; also that the Peninsu- lar and Oriental Company contemplates establishing a line of steamers between China and San Francisco ; but the public will do well to accept all the stories which are circulated in relation to this stock with several grains of mental reservation, as most of them are invented for the purpose of forcing a decline in its price, New York Central closed 1; higher than at the same time yesterday, Northwestern preferred 4, Ohio and Mississippi +s, and Western Union Telegraph 44; while Erle was 3 lower, Cleveland and Pittsburg, 1, Toledo and Wabash 4, Milwaukee and St. Paul pre- ferred, 34, Pacific Mall 2%, and Quicksilver 4%. Gov- ernment securities were firm at an advance of \ a 34 Afterthe call Mr. Theodore M. Morgan, of the firm of Morgan & Keene, was admitted a member of the Stock Exchange by a vote of 111 to 1. At the open board at one o'clock Erie sold at 74%, New York Central at 12314, and Pacific Mall at 9674. At the second regular board the market was dull and barely steady, while Pacific Mail experienced a farther decline to 9414. New York Central closed 3¢ higher than at the first regular board, Michigan Southern 1, and Milwaukee and St. Paul preferred 4, while Erie was 34 lower and Pacific Mail 274. At the open board at half-past three prices improved, aithough there was no increase in the volume of business. The advance was particularly marked in the case of Rock Island, which sold up to 95%. It was at the same time rumored that Mr. Tracy? the President of the company, had been arrested at Chicago on an attachment for con- tempt for violating an injunction granted by the United States District Court of the Northern district of Illinois, Attachments against other directors of the company were also said to have been issued; but the news, although uncontra- dicted, was not fully authenticated, and the rise was probably more closely connected with the expected appointment of a receiver of the proceeds of the sale of the new stock by Judge Cardozo than anything else, In this relation we may mention that the Judi- ciary Committee of the Iowa House of Representa- tives on Thursday last reported in favor of instruct- ing the Attorney General to take the legal steps ne- cessary to insure the construction of the Rock Island extension line to Des Moines. On the call Erie sold at 7444 a 74%; Northwestern preferred, 754; Cleve- jand and Pittsburg, 91); Michigan Southern, 9015 a 9044; Cleveland and Toledo, 1047 a 105; Pacific Mail, 9476 a 04%, and Atlantic Mail, 8744. During the remain- der of the afternoon the market was dull and steady, and at the close at six o’ciock the following quota- tions were current:—New York Central, 123% @ 128%; Erie, 7414 a 7494; Reading, 9034 a 9054; Michi- gan Southern, 89% @ 90; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 914; Rock Island, 9654 @ 9614; Northwestern pre- ferred, 75% @ 76; Pacific Mail, 95% a 951g; Western Union Telegraph, 37% a 3774; Fort Wayne, 100%.

The iasuing of the bonds of the Erie Railway Company in accordance with a resolution of the board of directors of said company on Februar; 19, 1868, and of the stock issued in pursuance thereo?, amounting in all to the sum of $10,000,000, for the parpons of completing, finishing operating said , convertible into the common stock of the said com , and the conversion of the same into stock, shall be deemed to be within the powers of said com- pany.

It will be seen that this bill not only legalizes the acts of the Erie Company in issuing convertible bonds and stock for the purpose of completing and operating the road, but endorses the contracts made for the extension of the wide gauge to Chicago and makes the directors of the New York Central, Hud- son River or Harlem Company ineligible to hoid office in the Erie Company and vice versa.
