In the evening the Kev, T. M. Terry, of Cold Spring, L. 1, preacied a general discourse on doo- trinal points. On Saturday the forenoon sermon was preached cas Rey. ’, ©. Lull, of the Johnson street church, lyn, the sub,ect beiug ‘Jacob at Penuel, and Bis Wrestling wit) tie Angel.” It was expository in wharacter, and caicuated to afford spiritual guid-, ance to the inquir.ng mind. In the afternoon the sermon was by tie fev. WW, iS SoG hea good, discourse on the “Necossfty of imme je Repen-! tance.” In the eycu'ng the Rey. R. 0, Putney, of Jamaica, L.

Whe Colored Camp Meeting There Yester- day—Several Sermons and an Original Poem by Mrs. F. HB. W. Harper—Cost of the Average Colored Camp Meeting and Its Spiritual and Material Advantage:— A Representative African Hymn and Idyllic Camp Meeting Photograph. ORANGE, N. J., August 10, 1873. Any attentive observer who walked through Maple and Central avenues to-day would have per- selved that something of more than usual interest was onhand. Those of the butchers’ and grocers’ stores and lager beer saloons that are ordinarily Dpen en Sundays formed no exception to the rule, for, though Orange is a beautiful and moral town, it owns among its inhabitants a large number of shrewd bargain drivers, to whom the first day of the week is a day when, if you can get the better of your neigh- bor, the act is so much the more meritorious, It Was not, therefore, the butchers and grocers and lager beer sellers that attracted regard. It was ‘something much more wholesome and edifying, something in ‘much closer connection with man's spiritual than with his material wants. It was a colored camp meeting, which, during the past week, has located itself in Peck’s Woods, a beauti- ful epitome of a forest, just on the southern verge of East Orange, and owned by the gentleman whose name it bears. Was there not a book re- cently published named “The Moral Use of Dark Things?” ‘he author probably would not have included a colored camp meeting in big category, and yet the morality, to Bay nothing of the religion, of these dusky repre- sentatives provided a most piquant and pictur- esque study. Only it must be understood that the dark part of the assemblage in reality constituted gn insignificant proportion, Both last evening and to-day especially white auditors poured in in in- stalments which left the colored portion of the congregation nowhere. I believe that this is gen- erally, if not always, the case. Tue white popula- tion, from whatever cause attracted, generally contrive to attend in the proportion of ten or twenty to every colored person. The church Which is represented here is the African Meth- pdist Episcopal. To-morrow Newark joins hands qith it, and the meeting will conclude on August 28 with a harvesthome and an ox-roast, novel celebrations in this part of the country. The Rev. T. A. Cult, who hasa church in East Orange, has ‘been presiding. He is amiable, quict and unctuous, His face is tull of flowing lines, aud his manner of speech is urbane and rolling. When he sends round the box and invokes dollar bills and bills Of whatever larger denomination the audience choose to give, it requires a hard heart to with- stand him. Some of the congregation have hard hearts, however, or else they have not got dollar bills. At any rate, the distressed ear of generosity hears the patter of pennies, when it listens for the dake-like lightness of the crisp greenback, THE COST OF A CAMP MEBTING. The average colored camp meeting is not an ex- sive aifair, and the present one at Peck’s ‘oods may fairly be taken as a representative. About four hundred planks were rented from an Orange lumber merchant. The cost, inelusive of the charges of transportation and erec- tion into seats, is not more than fifty dollars, as, after the meeting 1s over, the planks are returned to their owner. If Mr. Cuffis successful in effecting asale of them, however (which is very oiten done), a stipulated sum is handed to the lumber merchant and the amount ofthe rent deducted. To this expense must be added that of securing the presence of one or two policemen, for in the evening boys und young men, whose home educatien has not been the most perfect, and whose manners are not the sweetest, like to visit the camp meeting, Make fun of the sinving, mimic the “experiences,” and in- troduce otier unseemly episodes. A man must also be engaged to keep the grounds in erder, and fepair any injury which may be done to the seats or wooden structures. These trifling expenses, however, are usually much more than covered by the collections, a very large proportion of which is contributed by the white part of the congregation. By this means hundreds of dollars are frequently Faised at single camp meeting, church debts are id off and new corporations ure put on a safer asis. In this manner the Rev. Mr. Cuif is grad- ually liquidating a church debt of $1,500, THE TENTS AND REFRESHMENTS. The number of tents on the ground is small—not ‘More than live. They range ina line, and almost every one is likewise a restaurant, in which very respectabie meais may be had for filiy cents. Your correspondent sat down to-day to a dinner in ‘Which, at this price, roast chicken, boiled ham, Toast beel, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, bread and butter, tea and coffee, and whortieberry pie were constituents; and were further refreshment needed, ice-cream, by no means despicable, and reotbeer and soda water, were at hand. Pork and beans supplied an humbier meal at thirty cents.

SATURDAY NIGHT. Despite tne Mag ag showers that set in last evening the Key, N, H, Turpin preached a very ener- getic discourse from a portion of 1 Kings, vill, 38— “Which shail know every man the plague of his own heart.” Mr, Turpin believes that the “satanic Anfuence of the devil’ is atthe bottom of the moral disorders with which modern society teems, and thinks that too many mep and women would just as leave kill thetr own fathers and mothers as people would @ chicken hawk iu times past and one.” He was succeeded by Mrs. F. BE. W. Harper, who recited a large part of her poem describing the parting between Moses and the daughter o| Pharaoh, Mrs. Harper recites with grace and feel- img, evidentiy sympathizing strongly with that emotional condition in which she must have been ‘when the poem was composed, ‘The blank verse, however, is faulty but this defect was happily Jost upon her hearers, and was atoned for by the fervor of her delivery. in spite of the rain, which by haif-past nine threatened to degenerate into a settled storm, she held her audience longer than any of the male speakers could have hoped to do, TO-DAY’S EXERCISES, A more oy bit ef time thau to-day has turned ‘out to be could scarcely be desired, The morning services began at eleven o’clovk, and the congre- gation was snug rather than extensive, The ser- Mon was preached by the Rev.

The Colored Methodist Camp Meeting at Port Richmond, 8S. l—A Large As- semblage of White People en the Camp Ground Yesterday—How Fifty Dollars was Ratsed—The Singing, the Jokes and the Fun of the Colicction— Very Littic About Religion and a Great Deal About Dollars. A colored camp meeting, in connection with the colored Methodist church at Port Richmond, 8, L, has been held during the past week in a grove in tie vicinity of Eim Park. Yesterday was the closing day, and there was a large attendance, principally of “white folks,” at all the services, ‘This, however, has not been the case thronghont the Week, aud the meeting has been declared by those most interested in its progress to be a failure. The weather was so delightfully fine and the ground is so easy of approach both by the road and the bay that many New Yorkers made a visit to the camp an excuse for a day’s excursion, and farmers and residents of the neighborhood drove their wives and sweethearts to the ground, and at one time in the afternoon service yesterday the grove was so crowded with vehicles that the circle resembled a race track more than a@ camp ground, There ‘was so little that was solemnizing or had even the appearance of religion that it was no wonder that those who went to laugh fulfilled their intention, and did not remain to pray. Avery rough platform erected under a cluster of trees served for a preacher’s stand, and on this were three or four colored ministers. The orator of the day was the Rev. Thomas Clement Oliver, pastor of the colored church corner of Prince and Sullivan streets, New York. He preaciied a sermon from the seventh chapter of Paul’s first epistie to the Corinthians and thirty- first verse. The subject was ‘The Use and Abuse of the World,” and was discoursed with rather more intellectuality than colored min- isters generally give to their sermons. One of the abuses of the world to which Mr, Oliver re- ferred was the love of money, and in support thereof he said:—‘“I know some folks that stick so tight to a dollar that they MAKE THE EAGLE SQUEAL.” In combating some of the argumeuts of those who sneer at religion he said he didn’t care what they said they’d get Paul on their side, and until they showed a better man than Paul he would not mind what any “‘D. D.”’ or “H. D.” said, and by “HL. D.” he said he meant ‘horse doctor.” Little jokes like these went a long way with the audience and served to supply them with the fun for which they came. The sermon was evidently intended to lead up to the great object of the camp meeting, which was to realize seme money tor the reduction of the debi on the chapel of the society, and those who had antici- pated this were hot surprised to hear Mr. Olver, at the close of his sermon, deliver himself as fol- laws:—'‘My young brother (turning to a youthful colored preacher on the platform) informs ine, and lam sorry to have to say it, that he is $60 behind in the expenses of this camp. Now, brethren, the boxes round among those ladies and gentle- men and you'll get more than that; I see it in their faces.” Then Mr. Oliver leaned over to an en- closed space that was just below the stand, which was filled with a collec. tion of femimine colored beauty, and said, “Start the music.’ The leading soprano of this choir was @ young lady, alittle of-color, attired fashionably in white. Sue wore VIOLET KID GLOVES, and beat, time with a fashionably constructed parasoi. The choir was strengthened by the voices of the ministers on the platiorm, with the excep. tion of Mr. Oliver, who left to refresh his inner man at the refreshment tent, The singing drew the crowds from all parts of the grove, though the tune was a@ jong way from being as melodious as negro melodies generaily are, the colored people having adopted the Penillion style ot singing, pecu- liar to Weish bards, which is not an improvement on the old plantation melodies. ‘The hymn that was sung may be judged of from the ‘following specimen verses :— Said Jesus, Lo! i am with you in every And though thou art deficient, Iam thie Cad ef power. Ttook the gospel trumpet and'I began to blow, And if the Lord wili help me I will blow where e’re I go. Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my word in vain, Bui wen the holy spirit revives my soul again, I will publish tree salvation while Cam here below, ‘And biow the gospel trumpet as through the world T go. This was sung with all their mortal powers, voice, head, feet and body, all entuned tor the oc- casion, and the effect was certainiy inspiring and amusing to the thousand white folks who sur- rounded the surging cirele. The brethren who heid tne J boxes” returned with the contri- butions of the circle and Mr. Oliver again mounted the piatiorm and said that there had been col- | lected only $21. Now. the brother told him he must have $50, so 1 am very sorry, said the preacher, but Imust STOP THE SINGING until we get the remaining $29. I don’t want to be hard with you, but you'll easily see that the sooner we get the $29 the sooner you'll nave the singing. Now/if some Of the white folks and some of those foiks in carriages would hand in a dollar apiece we should soon have it. Thank you, brother; here is a dollar, given me by a gentleman behind me. Now we wanta few more. I'm some- thing like the boy who, wandering ail day, caine to a good woman's house and said:—Missus, will you give me a (drink of water? I'm so hungry, and don't know where to sleep to-night. I want quite as much as fam asking for.” As the singing peo- pie were not Bo eae Mr. Oliver addressed them and said:—"Now, you singing folk, you must give something. You sing and you must ‘there's a little bird in the woods that sings “I love you, I love you!” and then there's another fellow who gets up and sings, “Shew it, slew it.’ By this time the singing had heen commenced again, and this had drawn together the stragglers. In a lew minuies the CIGAR BOX BRETHREN came on the platiorm, and Mr. Oliver announced that they were only five dollare short of the fifty and they would take up that five in cents, The boxes went round again, the leading soprano and her chorus singing ail the time, and In a few min- uies there came in_ the five doliars, and seventy- five cents over. Evidently the grand atm or the calmp meeting iad been accomplisned and the con- gregation was dismissed until the evening service, when another cglection Would be mada, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. —_——-— BRITISH CAPITAL. Why It Is Seeking Investment in American Securities. a OUR RAILROAD BONDS ABROAD. Probable Resumption of Specie Payments by. the Bank of France. a AN EXHIBIT OF ITS STRENGTH. Events of the Past Week in Money Circles— The Gold and Stock Markets, THE BANK STATEMENT. “ WALL STREET, Sunpay, August 10, its. Among the hundreds of securitios now upon the English market it 1s gratifying to observe that few, if any, are viowed with more favor than those which represent our frst class American ratlroads, British capital of late years has been egregiously deceived in its dealings with a score or more of dubious bonds, all of which have competed with our own, The loans of Spain, Kgypt and Turkey; of Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Honduras and St, Domingo, amounting in the aggregate to nearly $900,000,000, have within the last year suf- fered a decline of $250,000,000 in the English mar- ket alone. It is but natural, under these circum- stances, that the disgusted investor should turn his thoughts in the direction of the interest-pay- ing, sound and valuable 3 RAILWAY BONDS OF THE UNITED STATES, and he is doing so. The most prudent dnancier ts not content to lodge his money in even the strongest of banks, when opportunities to obtain a larger rate of interest for the same are offered in the securities of a great government like our own, Hence we are not surprised at the statement by a well known financial authority in London that, while there is @ pervading duiness in the general fleld of foreign stocks, those of the United States are quite in exceptional favor. Reference is doubtless here made to the five-twenty bonds, of which there 18 a scarcity quoted in the London market; but the step is a short and easy one to the variety of first rate American railroad securities, in every way as safe and valuable as those of the government. In the condition of affairs from which ENGLAND IS JUST NOW SUFFERING,— that is to say, a loss of trade, a decline of exports, a falling off in manufactures and the misfortunes that have attended speculation in fancy stocks, such as we have quoted—confidence is a plaat o slow growth; but once that the tide turns and the intrinsic worth of our railroad bonds are under- stood, we may look to an increase of permanent investment in them that will be measured by hundreds of millions of dollars. The seed has been sown, the plant is above ground and fruition will come in its own good time. THE FOREIGN SITUATION should not be without interest to thoughtful Americans; for whatever our internal resources— our local successes and improvements—they are more or less likely to be affected by the great financial changes now in process abroad. We can- not, for instance, safely ignore the influence of the possible resumption of specie payments by the Bank of France before the end of the present year. France has been gradually preparing for the step by decreasing her imports and increasing her exports, and the excess in favor of the latter for only six months of the fiscal year is reported at 225,000,000 of francs. The present circulation of the Bank of France 1s 2,909,000,000 francs, Or about $581,000,000, Since the surrender of Napoleon on the 2d of September, 1870, there has been aa increase of $230,000,000, At that time the gold in the bank amounted to 808,000,000 francs. On the 1st of May, 1873, it was 811,000,000 francs. On the 23d of July, owing to large payments made on government account, it ‘Was reduced to 740,000,000 francs, Last week it lost 37,000,000 franks additional, so that the present sum total in specie is about 700,000,000 francs, or $140,000,000, It is A SINGULAR COM SNTARY on ourown system of finance that the premium on gold in France to-day is only % 4 34 per cent! Practically there has been no noticeable deprecia- tion in the paper money of that country. It is scarcely necessary to argue in the face of such facts that the strength there and the weakness here are due to the presence on the one hand and the absence on the other of a sufficient specie reserve to maintain public confidence. In Eng- land the reserve is now upward of $60,000,000 or considerably above what has been aptly designated as “the apprehension point.”’ In the United States, we only reiterate avery general belief, based on the figures of the government itself, that after the payment of its accrued interest, the Treasury of the United States does not now contain gold enough to pay its certificates of coin deposits! THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK in the various money circles have been unattended by any special interest. As heretofore, the volume of currency seeking investment has been in excess ofthe demand. A considerable amount has been sent from the country for this purpose. Money on call has ruled at 3a 4per cent, with exceptional busi- ness a8 low as 234 and as high as 5 per cent, Time loans for thirty days are quoted at 4a 5 per cent; for sixty days, 5 a6 per cent; for ninety days, 6a7 per cent, and tor the year, from 7 per cent gold to 9 per cent currency. Time loans in gold are firmer for short dates, The quotations are as follows:— 1-16 for use for thirty days, 44 for sixty days, % a1 per cent for ninety days, 1 per cent for six months, 141% per cent for the year and % a1 per cent for eight months. Foreign exchange was dull and un- changed. THE GOLD MARKET during the week was quiet and undemonstrative, prices fluctuating between 11544 @ 115%, with the bulk of business at the intermediate value. THE STOCK MARKET. With one or two exceptions the course of the stock market has not been more uneven than might have been expected at this season of the year. The absence of leading operators, the pre- vailing heat and an indisposition to indulge in speculation until it was deiinitely known what ac- tion would be taken in certain stocks exerted a depressing effect early in the week, but on Satur- day there was a general advance and restoration of a confident feeling that the ensuing week will witness a brighter condition of the market. Sev- eral of the low priced shares manifested decided symptoms of an upward tendency. Of these it may be mentioned that Atlantic and Pacific preferred bids fair to come into the mar- ket actively, a union of interests having been established between Philadelphia and St. Louis by the election yesterday of Thomas A. Scott as Presi- dent, Andrew Pierce as Vice President and General Manager, and General Clinton B, Fisk, of St. Louis, as Treasurer. ©., C, and I. C., doubtless, owed its advance to the handsome exhibit of its earnings for the first four months of the year, amounting to $123,404, and to the announcement that arrange ments have been made and are in operation for a large coal basiness, between Columbus and Cai cago, with the Columbus and Hocking Valley Rgil- road Company, which will, it is estimated, increase the earnings on this road for the next tweive months not less than one million dollars, Large additions to the rolling stock are to be made to meet the business pressing upon it by the new roads, now finishing aad connecting at its western terminus, which, it is Welioved, wi further i crease the earnings very largely for the coming ear, “ THE CHIEF SPECULATIVE “PANCY” of the week was Pacific Mail, which rose from 37% to 41%, with a recession at the last to 40%. For a time some little excitement was caused by the endeavors of the shorts to cover their contracts, and the advance was perhaps due as mach to the bears as to the bulls, It is intimated that there ‘was a good deal of “washing” done in the stock, with a view to make business seem lively if 1t were not, and the length and breadth of the movement are, therefore, pretty weli understood on the street. The decision of the President with refer- ence to the character ef the bends author- ized to be issucd has not yet been pro mulgated, although watched for with interest. Asimilar feeling attends the result of the consul- tation at present in pregress, looking to the con- solidation of Lake Shore with New York Central at an early day, It is confidently predictea that ’ when this event takes place the price of the former | the buyor, bubhot anotably’ changed.

Sarurpay, August 9—6 P. M The trade movement during the week last passed was more active than any of its predecessors since the Summer solstice was passed. In certain departments—notably in dry goods, breadstuffs, &c.—the Movement was so much freer during the greater part of the week as to seem by comparison quite active. But very little activity has thus far been manifest in any articles of merchandise, while in many extreme quietude was the ruling feature up to the close of the week. The scarcity of ocean freight room, and especially by steamers and vessels of the smaller class, has exerted and promises to exert a marked, if not not a controlling, influence on the commerce of the city during the succeeding several months, The decadence of American shipping, when vessels are in such active demand and when ocean tonnage is so scarce, is @ standing reproach to the American Con- gress, which has of late years done nothing to foster, but mach to destroy, the American mercantile marine, There was’ @ pretty free movement In bread” stuils last week, and considerable purchases were made of wheat on foreign account, particularly toward the close of the week, when consid- erable purchases for forward delivery were consum- Provisions Ian- mated on the basis of higher pri k until Near the close of the week, r peon Made tor October delivery.

SO FESR DERE RED A Search for Evidence in Fifty New York Charches Finaily Successful, Michael Sherdon is a well looking man of about thirty-five, formerly employed by the Newark Aqueduct Board, whose wife is an inmate ot the Lunatic Asylum in Trenton, A few days ago he was arrested by the Newark police on a charge of bigamy, preferred by the relatives of a young giry named Elizabeth O’Reilley. It appears Elizabeth, who is a fine, handsome girl of eighteen or nine- teen, became infatuated with the man and ram away from her home to join her fortunes with him. After diligent search her brother, Mr. T. . O’Reiliey, found the pair living together as man and wile, and, kyowing that Sherdon already had a'wife still living, caused his arrest as stated. On examination Sherdon con- fessed to the latter fact and to living with the but declared as faise the allegation that he married the girl. There being no proof to the contrary he was liberated on bail. Meanwhile Mise O'Reilly's relatives determined vo save all that could be saved of her reputation and at the same time bring to justice her destroyer, and so they set to work to find proof of the marriage, which Eliza- beth ceclared had taken place in @ Roman Catholic church m New York, but which one she could not say. Itseems there are some flity-two churches of that faith in the city. It was not until the flitieth one was reached by the persevering friends of the girl that the iodisputabie proofs of the marriage were found. On the rec- ords of St. Joseph’s church, date of January 27, was found the entry of the marri: of Michael Shberdon and Elizabeth O’Reiliey. ‘The marriage certificate was also discovered. In view of these facts Sherdon yesterday was surrendered by his bat! and was fully committed to the county jail to await trial. BITTEN BY A DOG As Mr. Samuel Carter, of 112 Rapelye street, Brooklyn, was passing down Wall street on Satur- day forenoon, he was attacked, when in front of Morton, Buss & Co.'s banking house, by one of two ugly dogs who were promenading that crowded thoroughfare unmuzzied and in the custody of & boy of about fourteen years old. The brute, which had just nipped a lad in front of him, gave Mr. Carter 9 vicious bite in the calf of the leg, draw- ing the blood and leaving the marks of his iangs im askin Wound extending across the calf of the leg a distance of two inches, and tearing clean out & strip irom the gentleman’s pantaloons three moles wide and twelve or fifteen long. Mr. Carter re- turned the attack with paving stones and drove of the beast, and after taking a reef in the damaged leg of his trousers went in pursuit, and traced the dogs up Wall street and down Broad- way toa liquor saloon in Whitehall stree| ve they took refuge in a cellar. The serv g vy policeman were obtained, and, aiter some parley, the offending dog was captured by the —— and shor, fir. Sarter's wounds were carefaily cauterized and dressed by «surgeon and are nob thought to be dangerous. Ir it ig not already @ misdemeanor, under the laws, to send out in dog days, and into the principal busiuess thorough- fares, unmuzzied dogs for an airtag, in the keep- iny of smail boys, then surely it is high time that it be made so, Our law makers should see to it ae once that the lives and limbs of our citizens are not to be thus grossly imperilied, One of these animals was of gigantic size and had @ bell upom his neck and was led by &@ ponderous chain, this one been the attacking dog, the consequences might have been serious indeed; as it was, the gentleman was indebted for his escape from the dog Which Lit him: to the fortunate circumstance that he hi ppened that morning to Lave oy a pair of unusug!'y thick woolen pants.
