There is slarge commuiity who would doubt fess be grateful ior any evide eau afford of a change in the specuiative situation ased on an advance to prices, bor the lactis not to be silently passed vy that the permanent influ- ences which emanate trom tlis locality produce more or less of resuitant ioree upon outside mar, | kets, In other words, faith, buoyaacy and activity expressed here irom day to day are generally regarded as an earnest that the finan- cial compass by which the country steers is rec- ognized asaguide that way ve suiely followed, But when, irom day to day, week im und week out, there is only a repetition of the @ame old calm, or interruption by elements that produce no, good, tt 18 easy to read @mong the signs of the times in the sym- pathy that exists between the speculative and weal, continued stagnation, We ave before re- ferred to the possibilities within control of capl- talists, of creating by proper combinations a stronger undertone to tne zenere| market—sincoe money is unquestionably abuudant—and of taus inducing confidence; but it seems as if the desire ‘Wae pre-eminent to measure everytuing by acmal values, to take a fresi counts of stock, to ‘weed out the weak, separate wuter trom its sedi- ment, and establish business upon a lower basis. Certainly Wall street has lately suifered from suc- cessive chocks. Severe lessons hiave been taught to those who calculated in the old way, end many @ man has gone to “the ragged edge” ag a sacrifice to judgment, based on other thon present cond tions. How long these conditso may last no man can tell. The power tochanpe them is arbi- trary, and it would be folly to preuict when it will ‘be enforced, Apvs NOR AND DECLINE.

ST. PAUL'S DAY. The Paulist Fathers yesterday observed the day rendered sacred by the calendar to St. Panl by impressive religious services at their church cor- ner of Ninth avenue and Fifty-ninth street, There atpall-past ten A. M. congregated a distinguished nufnber of the Roman Catholic clergy of New York and environs to commemorate the conver- sion of St. Paul, so vividly depicted in the ninth chapter of Acta. Tne church was appropriately decorated for the patronal festival, and among the banners was one ou the right of the altar beariag the inscription, “Preacher of the trath in tke whole world,” and on the right were the words, au art a vessel of election, O holy aposte Paul. ‘Tue celebration of the day began at halt-past ten o’clock, Bishop Corrigan, of Newark, siuging the solemn Pontifical mass, Te was assisted by the following clergy of tie Pauitst communion:— Rev. Fatuer Searle, Rey. Fatuer Stone, and Rew Father Brown, sub-deacon, Among the other Paulist fathers present were Kev, Fathers Hiit, Young, Brody and Kobinson. Rey. Messrs. Sim- mons and brown acted as masters of ceremonies, Among the Slotgy or other churcnes present were Father Doane, Vicar General of Newark; Father Rochford, Provincial of the Dominicans; Fathers Denney, roar Aubril, McDowall, Bartlets and Right Rev, Dr, Brown. it was the ‘intention of the Right Kev. Archbishop McCloskey to cele- brate the mass, he was detained home by sickness, and the Kight Bishop Corrigan’ consequently offt- ciated. The sermon was preacned by Rev. Dr. Me~ Glynn, Who took as his subject the epistie of the day descriptive of the conversion of St. Paul. Dr. McGiynu reviewed the circumstances attenaing the conversion of Paul from a reicatiess perseca- torof the disciples of Christ to a preacher of the Gospel, and eloguentiy dwelt upon the life aaa labors of the satnt who fills so distinguished a Place in the calendar of the Chureh. The attend- ance at the mornivg services was Very large, the spacious edifice being taxed to its utmost capacity to accommodate the devout congregation who at tended, In the evening Bishop Corrigan con- ducted the services, which consisted of a solemm vesper benediction. THE REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH. The Association for the Extension of the Re- formed Dutch Church, of which Dr. James Ander- Bon 1s President and Nelson Olcott, Secretary, held | @ meeting last evening in the chapel of the Col legiate church, corner of Filth avenue and Twenty- ninth street. The proceedings opened with a snore | Service in memory of the late Jonatiaan Sturges | who was the first Vice President of the associae | thon, Resolutions expressive of his exalted wort andthe loss tothe Church by his death were | Offered by Rev. Dr. H. D. Ganse, who spoke feeb ingly of the merits of the lamented departea, Other speakers followed inthe same strain, and the resolutions were unanimously adopted and @ copy ordered sent to the family. The Rev. N. RB Thompson then read a er on the HISTORY OF THE LITURGY of the Reformed Church. The liturgy, or form of pub- lic religious worsuip, in the Apostolic Church, an@ amid the corruptions Which sprung up during the Dark Ages, was alluded to, and the speaker then’ proceeded toa learned and exhaustive history of the liturgies of the Reformed Churca, ‘all of whitch @re modifications of the Strasburg’ Liturgy of Calvin, and which were adopted by the Reformed: churches of Scotland, France, Germany an@ Switzerland. The histor; 7 the liturgy of tae Church of England and that adopted by the Churen of Holland, which has descended to as and many points of similarity to which remain im our present liturgy, was given. The changes which took place in the Book of Common Prayer were also depicted and interesting incidents im reference to its compilations given. The litu of the Reformed Dutch Caurch was transla! | into Engusn first to Holland for the benefit of | Scottish worshippers. It was entitled the “Lite urgy of the Reformed Church in Nederland.” Tae delberg Catechism Was transiated later. Ex- tracts trom these, with sketches of the holidays | and methods of celebrating them, were described. ‘Yhe speaker thought liturgies were & Mat | ter of growtn. They could not | made; few men can write a hymn fitted for oth men to sing. He drew a distinction betweem those poluts of the liturgy Which long usage had rendered almost sacred and those which were merely left to the freedom of the churches. A de bate foliowed upon the proposed change of the liturgy of the Quurch, after which the meeting adjourned. THE METHODIST PREACHERS, continued Dr. Wakeley his interesting reminiscences of the Preachers’ Meeting ef New York yesterday by giving his breth» ren brief sketches of the topics thas were discussed by such worthies as Natham Bangs, Seth Crowell, Freeborn Garretsdn, Aarom | Hunt, Samuel Merrion, Benjamin Grifin and their compeers, The topics of those days differea verp much from topics that have been discussed by t! successors in later years, though some of shi were akin to those entertained by the preachers now composing the association. Half a century ago when 4 topic was suggested for discussion tt was referred to # committee of one or more minte+ ters, who brought im @ report at @ subsequent meeting, which report was discussed, amended, adopted, recommitted or otherwise disposed of, and the beginning, progress and end of the question and the discussion were entered on the journal of the meeting. This venerable record 18 still In existence, and witm great umidity Dr. Wakeley exhibited it yesterday to the preacbers. Itis such & book as a sub-com- mittee ol their number have been hunting for more than a year, It contains the autogral ail che preachers im the New Yor Conference for score of years, The meeting was organized in 1817, and out of its deliverations srose the Methodist Missionary Society, whose operationg now extend to ali lands. There were then but 224,000 Methodi in the entire country, There Were but fi ethodist ministers in New York in Brooklyn in those days, New York was then a smali town, Brookiyn a village, and Jersey City @ mere hamiet. The circum system prevailed then in the Church in those parts, and ft extended from New Jersey to Canada, and over this territory the preachers travelied og horseback. There were no railroads, | telegrapls, steamboats or ocean cad i | those days, but the fathers of the Church were | Sturdy and strong, and the topics discussed im their gatherings are like themseives—sturdy an@ strong. They are:doctrinai, practical, scientide and speculative.
