The depression in American securities in Frankfort and Amsterdam, resulting from causes Tecently aescribed in this column, has found its ‘way to this country, and we note considerable sales on account of German bankers of Central Pacifics, It is now intimated that the interest on the income and extension bonds will not be met The latest bids were:— y ‘3 Lack Del.

Stocks to-day showed the effect of more or less covering by the shorts, and at one time promised an advance encouraging to holders; out the gain of the morning was subsequently lost, and it was not until the close that reaction set in, which brought figures back to the opening point. There ig nothing to be added to recent comments, ana there is no reason to modify the views that have been presented in thiscolumn. Business was dull, nd operations were confined principally to brokers and others who operate for quick turns, The transactions amounted to 136,000 shares, which were distributed as follows:—Western Upion, 43,000; Union Pacific, 82,520; Wabash, 7,100; Pacific Mall, 5,900; Obio and Mississippl, 1,700; New York Central, 10,147; St. Paul preferred, 1,070; St. Paul common 7,600; Lake Shore, 15,800; Rock Island, 2,620; Northwestern common, 5,600.

No little surprise was felt on the street at the announcement of the election of Mr. James H. Banker as one of the directors of the New York nd Hariem Railroad Company. It having gener- ally been understood that Mr. Banker had recentiy commenced proceedings in the courts against the Lake Shore Railroad and other parties, it very Maturally was supposed that the relations existing between the parties were not of such & mature as to produce this result. The Opmions expressed as to its real mean- img were various, it has also brought, forward more prominently the fact that the Fecent report of the Lake Shore Company is en- rely silent in regard to the company’s transac- tions with Messrs. Clark, Schell and Banker, in ‘neir famous pool of last year, in Lake Shore stock, which was disclosed by the panic of Sep tember. It was, at the time, a well authenticated Jact, that these gentlemen bad used some $2,200,000 of the sinking ‘und bonds of the company as a margia on their (or the company’s) speculative transactions, and it was equally well understood ‘that by the subsequent settiement made between the company and these gentlemen the company sustained @ certain 1083 on the bonds of $700,000, subject to such further loss as might arise in case Of possible failure to meet the terms of sette- ment atite maturity. It is, therefore, not to pe ‘wondered at that comment should be made upon the strange iellowship disclosed, Are the anare- NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1874.—TRIPLE holders of the Lake Shore Company entitled to koow anything about the true position of their property and its Anances ?

This evening will begin the loveliest festival in the Jewish calendar—Shebuoth or tne Feast of Weeks, This festival derives its name from the | Weex, of Weeks or the seven weeks intervening | between it and the Passover. It is founded on the Leviticus, xxili., and Deuteronomy, xvi.. 9 The festival was ordained beiore the Israeiites entered the Promised Land and was designed as a co! mencement harvest festival in Canaan. The Jews were prohibited from eating either head or parched corn ‘or green ears of their new crop, un- til they had first brought an offering unto the Lord their God. They were to bring a sheaf for a weave offering unto the priest, and the day alter the first Sabbath they were to begin to count filty days, so that seven Sabbaths ig be included in the, fes~ tival. Other offerings 0! ki end -young bullocks were also made at the same time, and at the end of the seven weeks the iestival of the in- fathering of harvest commenced, Feast of Ca counted from the time the sickle was‘firet put in. In this country and at this time the Feast (ot Weeks marks the dividing line between the ring and the summer. It-derives significance, i as being in a sense commemorative of THE BIRTH OF THR JEWISH NATION, Except the Passover this ery the beat ob- pervea feast in the scree of Jewish holidays, But, like other festivals of its kind, it does not com- mand the same attention here that it. does in Europe, nor in this age that it did centaries 880. 1t 1s, however, more popular than some others. does not demand so much self-denial as the Pane. over, the Tabernacles or others; it occurs at a sea- son of the year when nature is arrayed in her way: est attire, ana it is a feast of rejoi wd not of sorrow. In modern times it has to be tden- tufled more or less with the giving of the law on Mount Sinai, whereby a pence of slaves was se- lected and ordained to become priests a4 @ holy nation. Without hat mission, bo that clear, M hears defined con: rend God, without that morahty law with Which “Israel's ite became tafused it would have perished among the mm tb would have died, never to rise aeniny 5 lt would pre sunk into that grave into which multitudes. jong have sunk without leaving @ trace of thelr path, With Moses as their godiather, witn bi revelation of Sinai as the grand inaugufation a life of eternity, with we rinci ples cellverea unto ye which to-d: ree are the guiding chart of amanity, Israel pe truly a navion selected by God, and as such, immortal, undying, trrepressibie, ‘yhis iestival precedes FEAST OF TABERNACLES, which occurs at the end oO! the harvest, It is ous- vomary during this teast, which laats seven day: Jor Dious Laruelites to take weir children and lead | Son—Kevs. J.

THE PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL _ ASSEMBLY, The Greatest Presbyterial Gathering 0) the United States—What It Will Be Called Upon To Do—Delegates from New York and Vicinity. To-day the General Assembly of the Tian Churchin the Umited States will meet in the First Presbyterian church of St. Louis, Mo.; Dr. Howard Crosby, of this city, as Moderator of the last Assembly, will preach the sermon before that boay. This is one of the most interesting gather- ings of the Presbyterian Church ever beld in this country, and the very ablest representatives from every part of the land have been sent shither. From this city and vicinity the differeut Presby- teries have sent such men as Revs. Kobert R. Booth, D. D.; Howard Crosby, D. D.; J, 0. Murray, D.D.; E. D. Marpby, D. D.; C. S. Robinson, D. D. H. H. Garnett, D. D.; Elders Ezra M. Kingsley, Wilitam A. Booth, John E, Parsons, Samuel Tuomp- son, George W. Beale, William L. Skidmore, to rep- resent the Presbytery of New York; Revs. J.

Several important measures now belore the Presbyterians of the United, States will require legisiation or consideration by this Assembly. Movements are im progress to effect a reconcilia- sappe some broad and general basie-o! the branches Oftne Presbyterian fold teh out ‘the jand, These movements may be greatly heiped or hindered by the kind and character ol the advances made by this General Assembiy. The General Assembly of the rresbyterian Legg South convenes to-day, also, in Columbus, and the United Presbylerlan General ‘Assembly iy wi pert a next week (27th) in Monmouth, Ill. Frater- nal delegates will represent each in the others’ councils, and no doubt gfeat will re- sult from such intercourse, There is g movement going forward also to unite the Reforffied Church: m 1 ica with® one or other of the Presoyterian branches. The General Synod of the Reiormed Church will meet early in June (3d), in Pougukeepsie, so that those iour great bodies will be in session about the same time and will hold iraternal intercourse witn one an- other on sucn Matters as mutually affect taem. One of these matters is the consolidation of the Board of Missions of the Reformed Dutch Church With the Presvyterian Board. Their work aud their fields of favor @re nearly the anda consolidation of the two wouid effect a great sav- ing of expense in the furtherance of mission work abroad, as well as prove a@ great biessing to the native churches in the mission fleids, CONSOLIDATION OF BENEVOLENT BOARDS. It is also propoved to unite the eight different boards of missions, education, Cpe &c., in the Presbyterian.

The last General Assembiy’s committee on consolidation have lasued ‘their Fes oni jority and & minority, and ior past two or three months the press and the Presby ‘teries have bad th ‘here is only em under discussion. one point of difference between the two reports, and that ts in pe to church erection and pubii- cation, The ‘ority favor their separation, whereby five boards instead of four will be neces- sonst Mf 1t shall be adopted.. The cost of collecting distributing the benevolences of the Presvy- terlan boards is nearly flity ye r cent higher than the Methodists pay tor the like work. ‘The conse- apenee ig that the aggregate debt of the Boards Foreign Missions and Education at the last meeting of the General Assembly in Saltimure amounted to $165,934 92. The mission debt has since been reduced to less than $5,000, ‘Tne con- tribations to the foreign mission cause for the last year, which closed May 4, amounted to $618,000— the Targest sum ever received by the Board in one year, and the largest sum ever contributed to Joreign missions in one year by uny Church or su. ciety in this couatry, One of those th which most nearly affect churches in this neighborhood, and upon which @ Assembly will be called to legislate, is Lhe TRUE RELATION OF WOMAN TO THE CHURCH. Has she a right to teach or expound the Scriptures pavliely therein and to promiscuous audiences ? ‘he strict constructionis' hy has not, and they lay great stress on St. Paul’s language on this point.
