WALL STREET, Monpay, Sept. 22, ira. } The undertone of Wall street to-day has been *emphatic in its indications. Excitement is ap- parently declining; pulses are beating more bealthfully; the crisis of the fever has passed and ~@ convalescence has begun that prom ses to leave the patient ina stronger condition than before. Analyzing the measures of relief that have been adopted, we may classify them as follows :— First, there was a prompt and total suspension ~of all business at the Stock Exchange, attended ‘with such rules as to forbid outside speculation ander penalty of expulsion. This’ was a policy eminently wise, because at THE MAD RATE ‘at which business was being conducted and prices ‘were tumbling and stocks were being sent into the Board to be “bought tn under the rule,” every Banker and broker on the street must eventually ‘Mave succumbed. The very soul and essence of the antic was there. Second, the banking interest rallied to the sup- port of the community by providing for a system of certificates, duly secured, that could properly rep- resent legal tenders in their dealings with the Clearing House, This enabled them to meet the Teasonable demands of depositors, ‘Third, THE SAVINGS BANKS institutions, which deal most directiy with the poorer classes, and represent the wealth accumu- lated by the earnings of our artisan’, promptly an- Ucipating the fearful evils likely to result from a rabid run upon them, availed themselves of the Privilege of their respective charters, and’ an- mounced that draits upon them in excess of $100 Might not be honored without the required notice ~ Of thirty days, Fourth, the government authorized the purchase @ all the five-twenty bonds that might be offered, ga to-day the Assistant Treasurer bought (3,839,150 of these securities and paid out legal venders therefor. * Fifth, and finally, THR STOCK BROKERS themselves (than whom, as a body, there are no more high-toned, public spirited and unseifish gentlemen in the country), without preconcerted Action, but at the same ti with a spontaniety of impulse, at once creditable and effective, sus- pended all business with the banks, and declined to draw their usual checks, lest the presence of the long lines of office clerks at the desks of paying tellers should create the impression that there was 8 “run,” and thereby cripple the good work of these tnstitutions, The foregoing are among the chief influences that bave quietly exertcd their power in producing THE CALM that hasevidently begun, and constitute, it ts to be hopea, the pivotal point of a prompt reaction. Now that the excitement is subsiding the situation does not present all the dangers which at first seemed to impend. No actual values vhave been destroyed, and no ruin has resulted save to a few, from a rapid depreciation of fancy Speculative stocks, Commerce is unaffected; the volume of currency has not been materialiy changed, because the ‘dock up” is only temporary; abundant securities exist right here in our New York banks to meet the emergency, and in short it is already demonstrated that the panic was both circumscribed and controllable. It originated in 4 PLETHORA OF RAILROAD CREDITS and a perfectly nataral’ explosion followed as the Aogical result of putting too much nitro-glycerine Oh paper. It hasbeen fostered by a natural dis- trust growing out of the prudential measures adopted by the banks and from o'her causes; but, doubtless, 1t w'll end in a healthier and more con- servative course of fin@uciai action and a more . figid adberence to the real laws of con:merce than has been observed tn America for years. The leading EVENTS OF THE DAY need be only generalized in tms place, a# fuller details will be found elsewhere. The Stock Ex- | change by a large vote prudently determined to suspend business until further notice. No action ‘Was taken with reference to the settlement of Contracts between brokers, and there is yet no bdasis decided upon which such settlements can be made. A number of small accounts, however, ‘were closed up satisfactorily to ali concerned. THE GOLD BXCHANGR eMet at ten o'clock, but decided to allow ao public -dealings, the penalty being a loss of membership. ‘It was also agreed that the price on the dial should stand at 112 during the day, and that all loans should be made at 7 per cent for carrying. The President of the Gold Exchange Bank, which is the Clearing House of the Gold Room, gave notice at the meeting that Saturday’s business would be duly cleared, provided the members would agree to take checks on the Metropolitan National Bank, certified as “good through the Clearing Mouse” of the Associated Bankers. This was unanimously ‘agreed to by the members of the Gold Exchange. Subsequently the Gold Exchange Bank completed the clearances for the transacftons in gold on Fri- day and Saturday, involving an amount of $92,075,000. The arrangement whereby certificates “issued on the deposit of bank assets are received in settlement of differences at the Clearing House 4s working admirably, and has sforded immediate velief, THE PURCHASE BY THR GOVERNMENT ~ 01 five-twenty bonds was made to-day on the basis of 110.72 410, The savings banks, insurance and trust companies of this city are understood to hold large amount of this class‘of securities, and, if the general good demands, it is intimated that they ‘will come forward and offer them to the Sub- “Treasurer, and thus set free several millions of -@greenbacks, which, it seems, vannot be legally re- leased from the government custody in any other manner. The total amount of bonds purchased Saturday and to-day is $6,195,500. It was a molll- dying feature of the day that THE NATIONAL BANKS paid in legal tenders ail demands made on them ‘which looked like legitimate business, but when the purpose was apparent that a run was at tempted, they paid in certified checks collectable through the Clearing Houee, Not a few among the brokers declined to draw for more than mere pocket money. ON WALL AND BROAD STREETS there was no perceptible excitement, although crowds of idlers congregated to scan the unusual scene, Among these, were numbers of individuals ‘who sought to purchase stocks, and in their trans- actions made something like the following outside quotation: for cash:—New York Central and Hud- fon, 92% & 95; Wabash, 47 a 60; Western Goion. 6 8 73: Rock lajapd offered at 67; Ran ams, 58 bid; Erie, 51 oid; Harlem, 106 a 110; Lake Shore, 80 a 83 @ 85; Pacific Mail offered ‘at 34; Union Pactfic, 20; Northwest, common, 42, THE UNITED STATES TREASURY, ‘The following were the balances in the Treasury at the close of business to-day at Washington :— Currency, less amount paid for bonds purchased in New York and not re- ported.....+ weaved is veoe nek Special deposit of legal tenders for re- 14,622,456 demption of certificates of deposit...... 33,715,000 Coin... enenee + 84,655,189 —Inclading coin certificate: + 86,211,500 Outstanding legal tenders. 356,000,000 The internal revenue receipts to-day in Washing- ton-were $552,170, The customs receipts for the week ending September 13 were:—New York, $3,051,664; Philadelphia, $198,361; Boston, $417,223; Baltimore, $54,056. The Assistant Treasurer of Now York, in addition to his disbursement for bonds elsewhere alluded to, redeemed for the banks $5,185,000 legal tender certificates of deposit, which willenable them to meet the demands of small depositors should these continue. THE MONRY MARKET, ‘Thgre ts no price for money, and less said about it.

FELLOWES, ——_+ + THE HETHODIST MINISTERS. + The Sunday School and the Ministry Accessories to the Decline of Method- ism—Plain Talk from an Old-Fash- foned Preacher. The very important but somewhat unfortunately treated subject of Methodist pfogress or decline in New York and Brooklyn was up again yesterday in the Preachers’ Meeting for discussion. It was handled by Rev. Dr. Osbon, who uttered some plain but unpalatable truths. While he did not admit a decline in the sense that some had presented that feature of Methodism, he yet regretted that the de- nomination had not made that progress here and in the sister city that other denominations had made. The reasons why it had not advanced were, in part, those that had been suggested last week by Rey. J. M. Buckley, but Dr. Osbon offered some others, The conduct of our Sunday schools, he de- clared, 18 not promotive of reverence, because the teaching of the children is for the most part com- mitted to the hands of young, unmarried and inex- perienced persons, who know nothing about the care and education of children, Men and women ofknowledge, wisdom and experience do not and cannot be induced to go into the Sunday schools, Hence they have resorted to a system of EXCURSIONS, FANDANGOKES AND REWARDS to get the children in, and then a very large num- ber of the young people won't stay in, but: hie themselves away to other churches, Then the modes of instruction are crowding odt the means of more. sglid religious knowledge. The time is langely ied with geographical, biographical an comments, so that the practical aims and ends of the Sunday school organization are tof Our Sunday schools for a long series ‘of years have failed in the purposes of their organi- zation. If the oider men, our grandsires, should come into the Sunday school we Sie accomplish something, but we are losing ground in not main- taining and not absolutely adhering to our vid methods of catechetical instruction in the Sunday school. Another cause of non-advancement is that Methodist people have lost and are losing in a ore degree the unction of religton that they used to have. This statement of the Doctor was denied by brethren. Continuing his remarks Dr. Osbon said, We liave now a great deal more worship than work, and unction, he maintained, comes largely through work. We have a great deal of praying and peain singing, but very little work, A Votce—How about the preaching ? Dr. Osson—I’ll come to that by and by. (And he did come to it with great plainness of speech.) While our preaching, he said, has gained in rhet- oric it has lost in its power to affect the people. He should not be considered, however, as opposed to culture. He wised he was @ cultured man, Its lack has cost him MORW@ TEARS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS than his-sins ever did, and he scarcely sees a day that hedoes not deplore it, but he can't help it now. We are not, he continued, up to the power of the former times. Our sermons have more beauty, but less power, and here it was proper for him to make a comparison. While Methodists have not made progress in this matter, other denomina- tions have. We complain that the Fathers were uncultured men, but there was power in their ser- mons and souls were converted under their preach- ing, While we have the adornments and accom- plishments we have not the power. While he would make allowance lor the questions that have pressed upon us for the last ten or twelve years, he did not think they were greater than those that pressed upon our fathers, and yet our success does not compare with theirs. Tne Jault is not with the Father, Son or Spirit, but with the ministry, and he would have them look over their sermons and compare them with some preached jorty years ago and let them strive more earnestly to bring this world to the life and power and glory of God. The subject was continued lor next Monday, when Rev. ©, C. Goss is to review the whole ground and to presen ditional stattstics.

Coroner Keenan took, yesterday, the ante-mor- tem statement of John Burke, who was seriously stabbed in an affray which occurred in his own saloon, 223 Third avenue, on Saturdaz night. The barkeeper, who was evidently obeying instruc- tions, refused to let Coroner Keenan see Burke; but when the Coroner told him that he would lock him up, he collapsed and conducted him to Burke’s room. Burke then made the following state- ment :—'On Saturday night, between twelve and one o’clock, William Baker and soeens Hartnett came into my liquor store for a drink. ker began to abuse some of my friends. J told bim not to do ae Land the barkeeper put them both out, In about ten minutes they beth returned. Hartnett said, ‘I am fixed. now, and I would like to see the — — — that would put me out now.’ I went to put him out. We clinched, and as we came near the door he stabbed me twice, and twice after we ito the entry.” Burke's { alth got int try. e' injuries, although severe, may NOt prove arrested, ALLEN-M’COOLE. The Great Fight To-Day---Tom Allen and Mike MeCoole, for $4,000, Notes Befere the Battle—How the Men Have -Trained—The Betting—Probable Lo- cale—Public Opinion. Sr. Louis, Mo., Sept. 20, 1973, On Tuesday next the old antagonists, rivals an4, one may gay, enemies, Tom Allen and Mike Mc-Coole, are to meet in the circle of rope, twenty-iour feet across, within 200 miles of this city, to do battle for $4,000, accord- ing to articles drawn up on the 23d of June. The match was almost inevitable. The feeling be- tween the two men has not been of the most cor- dial nature, more probably on account of the lively expressions of opinion as to their relative merits by the friends of each, Each owns what across the water would be called a “public,” Tom Allen’s house, in particular, being @ special resort of the gentry with close-cropped hair and vel- veteen coats, whose talk is of mills and mauleys, battles and bulldogs and bitter beer, especially on Saturday nights, when the host himself pre- sides at the free-and-easy of local fame. Mike Movoole is not in such good odor, his house having @rude reputation as the resort of roughs; in- deed, it is not long since Mike participated in a brutal scene, where an innocent fat who re- fused to pay something like a dollar a drink for very poor whiskey was thrown into the street and 80 badly injured and subsequently frozen that he lost both hands, The Allen men have held that their champion could get away with the big un as easily as ever Jem Mace cut up Sam Hurst, the Staleybridge Infant. The partisans of McCoole have taunted Allen’s friends with the conduct of their man in the championship encounter with Jem Mace, which they deciare was deliberately squared in advance. Over and above all there is the fact that ring business in the West is going to the dogs and some excitement is sadly needed to keep things alive. No matter how the fight results, the excursion is sure to be profitable and bring grist to the mill of each of the prin- cipais. So it is that the match has been made and attracted no inconsiderable attention, especially among the local fancy, It is safe to say that on this contest hinge the fortunes of the ring in the West. St. Louis alone, outside of the metropolis, possesses the men to match against each other. As the fights are generally allowed to come off here, and the battle ground is more ac- cessible to the Eastern delegation than further down the river, St. Louis possesses marked advan- tages over the Memphis or New Orleans district, The attendance, by the way, promises to be large, though it will mainly consist of local celebrities and amateurs, The Sastern men generally report themselves short of funds, and disinclined to travel a couple of thousand miles to a battle which may not come off at all or ead in @ one-sided fizzle, or—worse than all—prove a “cross,” as a good many others have done before it. If this fight should come to naught in any of these manners, or if the police interiere, or if the excursion is marked by the presence of the roughs, who generally go through peaceful passengers at the pistol’s mouth, prize lighting 18 over for good and allin the Mis- sissippi Valley. Within a fortnight alter the articles had been signed, about the 7th of July, Mike McCoole went to work lo reduce himself from his ordinary weight, then between 260 and 270 pounds, to fighting trim. “Dublin ‘Tricks’ (Billy Blake) has oficiated as his ide, philosopher and friend, and has given him a felsurely but thorough preparation. Mike always needs a good deal of work and takes to severe exer- cise kindly, His training quarters bave been on the Gravvis road, near Cherokee street, The usual regimen has been followed, with the ordinary rou- tine of club and dumb bell exercise, sparring and triking at sand and hair bags. To these, to cultivate quickness in hitting, an essential point wherein he has hitherto been sadly deficient, has been added the task of unching bladders filled with air and swing- he loosely. Mike’s pedestrian exercise has been very severe, and twice or thrice daily for the past two months he has been out, blan- keted like a four mile nag, undergoing the “grand preparation,” taking a long, steady walk; winding up With a mile ran at top speed with an extra over- coat over ail and even a flannel helmet and visor on his h and face. Thanks to this work he now turns the scale at a trife under 200 pounds and his face looks hard as iron, His trainer reports that he was never better, and that Tom Allen may cut his Knuckies on Mike’s head till he gets tired, while if the big one gets once home on the Englishman Tom will be something in the condition of Tom Paddock when the Staleybridge Infant stove in his ribs with a sledgehammer blow. It was about the middle of august ere Tom Allen went to work really training himself, though he was nominally under the eye of Jack Madden. It wasrather late in the day when Allen began his work, and he is understood to have resorted to Turkish baths to reduce his avoirdupois. These, With the very hot weather, aud the necessarily ar- duous work of putting eight weeks’ training into four, are understood to have seriously weakened Tom Allen, Added to this is the report that while in training he bas not been so steady and assiduous as he should have been, and it can eng be under- stood that the feeling of confidence in his ability to get away with his big antagonist is not so strong as it would be under ordinary circamstances. How- ever, he has reached his fighting weight, 194 or 4 pound over or under, and, when he comes to town on a Saturday night to Tieng at his saioon, looks the picture of health and confidence. Investment upon the fight so far has been ex- ceedingly limited and at short odds upon Allen— Bay $60 to $60, $40 to $35 and so on. People in this vicinity are not over desirous of putting any money on either till they can see the men in the ring and judge for themselves whether the fight is to come Off, if it is to be on the square and in how far true or false the rumors of the condition or iaexk of con- dition on either side may prove. The betting will probably close in savor of Allen, but at small odds, Ra the Mcvoole men seem pretty flush and in no wise afraid to back their man at anything near even money. The piace of the battle has not at this writing been determined upon, por is anything known of the intentions of the powers that be, though It is understood, on the latter point, that no interfer- ence will be offered if the departure is not attended with riot and disorder. It has been given out that a spot had been selected two hours’ ride out on the Facifie road, but this “office” is generally taken asa “blind d itis probable that one of the islands down the river will be the battle fieid, tne princi- pais jeaving town quietly on sunday and being Picked up by the boat en route, +e MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
