Anniversary of the Birth of Stephen Girard. An Appropriate Celebration at the College. The 120th Anniversary of the birth-day of Ste phen Girard, and Anniversary of the Alumni of Girard College, were celebrated this morning at the College Building. At 10 o'clock a meeting of the Alumni was held, and the annual business was transacted. At the close of these proceed ings the members of the Alumni, headed by the Liberty Cornet Band. marched from the building in which they had assembled to the chapel, where wero gathered a largo number of the graduates members of the Board of Directors. Committee on Girard Estate, and friends of the Association. As soon as quiet bad been sectired, the Band dis coursed some fine muele. Wm. E. Littleton, Esq., President of the Alum ni, then delivered an address, as follows: MR. LITTLETON'S SPEECU. ',Wire and Gentlemen, and Menttore of the Sootily of the Altenor 1: Though requested to occupythia steadier a few minutes to-day. I had expected, until a few days ago. to be absent from the city, and consequently have made but little preparation for the duty devolved upon me, and my remarks will therefore he very brief, and not deserving the name of an address. It is, I assure you, with no affected humility that I confers that I appear be im e you en this occasion with great diffidence and reluc tance. I should greatly have preferred to continue to have been a gratified 'listener to what ebould be uttered from this deck, rather than have been placed behind it in the character of speaker. And this reluctance is in no wise' decreased, when I think of those of my old schoolmate' who have occupied this stand, andrecall the Piqued ability with which they always acquitted themselves. I have only to think of Ward, of Chambers, of O'Donnell, and, armee all, of the lamented Dunn, more gifted than any of our number, and at once expi ties my regret that coma, of Giese arc not here to day in my place to entertain you. flow well do I remember the occasion on which William Diana last addressed us. We were to have bad on that d..y, ae the Alumni will well remember. an Oration and a Poem, and Dunn had been selected to deliver the later. Ile prepared, however. a prose address instead, cc latch he ptofaced 8t ith an exquisite apology for the f all ure to give the poem, and as ne concluded it, quoted in his on n eloquent way the words of the Apostle: - 'Silver and Gold have I none. but each as I have give I unto thee:" end then tenon ed his Address, which has never helm surpassed by that of any other graduate. I never hear Iliose Scriptural words but remembrance instantly calls before me the form of our late brother, an ho stood ou tide platform and gave utterance to them, and us I re. test them to day, whiled! know that that repetition, aa a 14,7m5% ed apology for my self. may p0e.14: , a little merit, it o of carry you back in memory to the Caine anniyers.ory, and awaken delightful recollecrione of the pleasure then enjoyed in listening to him. Ile can join us LI, MOT, 1 rare have passed since we followed his retal remains to their last resting place. No eye wad dry, no bout withoot emotion. Its there came upon thZ, ear the last sad words "Dust to dust," and the crave dozed os er our dear companion. Not the least of the homlllr of there our vdmiohs is the quickened remem brance-thereby inspired in us of those of our number who have died, tied among the limes of our departed none will awaken more enthutiasm than that of Williezet Donn. It is a holy custom which carreee the,living to decorate wit) i)owere the Abodes of the dead, and equally eaured Le th e feeling which erompte the mind, on all tatting occa. .ions. to render homage to the good qualitle. , of the de, I ted. It is not necessary for me to Invoke from you any such feeling for Mtn, for I know that I have only to raj est hie name, and, our mind,, like mine, yield invol untaxily their tribute of revert to bis memory. es enty-one years have elapsed since GarardCollege wee opened for the Ades-lesion of pupils. To-day it may be said to be r f full age. -The first admission was in 1517 and the tint graduate left in real. Mere than seven hundred have since graduated, and of • these over six hundred are living today. The graduates of the Colft-ge are represented in almost every business and profession in life. Those who have left this Inatitu. tion nave had their shares of the trials and viciuttedes of life; joy and eosrow, defeats and success, have creme to them as they come to mankind in general: theirs has been but "the common fate of all." Adversity they hare eat. and they trust endured with patience and with here. Some bare early fallen victim.; to disease, and scree have been untimely taken from us battling In the noble army as latch saved the Government In its hour of I tat; in death as Willi.; they at least have proved their votion to the principles t ere inculcated, and though their hence In neglected Places whiten the fun of that resuthern land, so late the abode of treason and rebellion, their memory shall be held in dearest recollection by those vi ho survive. Though nameless their graves, yet ever fresh shall be their memories in all our thoughts. flow eeprotriato then. as we think of all those things, must this oft annual meeting seem, even to those who see strangers here to-day, arid who do not know our history or the associations which bind ns together. What nobler tribute can we pay to the memory of Stephen Chard, than with each retina* year. together here, renew the friendships here established. and one and all 'windednc to the gratitude we feel towards Lim who this inetitution. How delightful !tie to us, travelers as we are up toe hill of life, to turn for an in stant and gaze back from the vantage ground see lave gained, anon that "teepee Valley," our early youth, which we have left behind and which is eo Intimately connected with this place and all its cherished memories. Dow sweet the recollections of the past, the dear remem brance of happy days gone by. when we wandered o'er there grounds no happy as children ever were, free from all reeponnbility and knowing nought of the world or its cares. And while we thus dwell in fond remembrance of the past. we indulge no discontent with the present There comes but the added thought from tide our retrospect, that if we have prospered, we owe all to this institution, and it we. have filled, it is much our own faults, or by reason of circumstances which we could not control. and not from any lack of plover inetruction here. We draw front the past this re. t), ction, that all we have or are, all the pleasure we have known, all the blessings we have enjoyed, we owe, in the providence of God, to this College, to its noble founder and the officers who were here placed ever its. And it is OEt fitting that on this occasion such feelings should be expressed by us; and. therefore, I turn to you, Mr. Presi dent and to the officers of the Institution, and in behalf of the Alumni of the College, thank you all both for them and for myeelf, for the great kindness and attention ex. lariited to us while under your care. We come to-day to do honor to the memory 'of the founder, to express our grateful recollection ruff all your fa. vors to us, and to render that account, to which you are entitled, of the talents here committed to our keeping. (bough there may be none in our midst who can boast an increase of an nuudred or even ten fold, yet rest as sured that from out our ranks there comes no one with ungrateful heart to reproach his benefactors. o the pupils of the College who are present, I have only to say what others have so often expressed, that tine is y our golden opportunity. Learn to improve every moment and heed every preeeptand in after life you will reap the benefit of attention to your duties here. And you, my fellow'-graduates , I would remind, before closing, that upon you depend in a, great measure the success of this Institution and the prosperity of those who come after you. if you act well your part, if you faith fully carry into practice the principle' here taught, then you will give this. College a name which will make it known and reepected throughout the land, and the beauty of its architecture will be forgotten when men shall talk of the good which it accomplisahed. You should bear in mind that there have been those who doubted, or affected to doubt„ whether, after all, thielnatitution would be a enceees, whether boys could be brought up according to its plan of operation, and yet be qualified tor the sterner duties of life. it is for you to disperse such doubts. if any exist. It was asserted, as one of the arguments against the va. lidity of Mr. Girard's will, that his bequest 11145 hostile to Christianity, and therefore void . that each year would see a clam of unbelievers leave this College, with (in a reigious sense) hands raised against everybody, and everybody's hands, as a consequence, against them. That will directs that there shall be instilled into the minds ot the pupils of this institution a love of country, and that they shall be taught the "pureet principles of morality,” so, however, that each as he arrived at a proper age, may • adopt such particular religious tenets as he may prefer. Out IN others wile have fallen in battle, and those who eerved nobly in the army and yet survive, have proved that patriotism with us has not been merely a name, or theme. but a solid, substantial reality, for life has been freely given in its behalf. It remains for you, and you alone, to disprove the charge so boldly made against the character of the edu cation here received. The highest court in the laud vin dicated the will of Mr. Girard from this reproach, and it is your duty, in this respect at lead, to vindicate the judgment of the court, and to show that sound religione instruction, free from sectarian bias, can qualify men for the noblest duties of life, and while it may make them nee in choice,will not leave them destitute of a true faith. We are custodians of the reputation of this our alma treatdr. and I trust that is all thing, and at all times we ellen prove ourselves worthy of the high trust committed to us, and that we shall falter not in the discharge of our obligations to this our early home. 1 have somewhere read of ono of Napoleon's soldiens who, distinguishing himself on many a battlefield, steadily refused all promotion. In one of the numerous battles fn which the Great simperer was engaged this brave soldier was killed. As a tribute of respect to his memory his place was always kept vacant, and.whenever the roll was called and tho name of the hero was reached the whole company with one 'voice answered, "Dead on the field of glory." And thus may we, armed four, a nobler purpose. for good and not evil to the human race, Ilk good soldiers, press on in the groat work which le set beim° us, and in after years, when strangers shall visit this place and see petbaps the list of those who were once inmates of these walls,and shall point to this cr that name and say "What of him; fought he too the good fight?" the answer shall come back in accents as true and sincere as those which followed the name of the bravest of the. French, "Ho died on the field of battle." Wm. H. Allen, LL. D., President of the College, addressed the Alumni as follows: TIIO3IAS T.

But we miss the f they,f others who love their Alma Mater, and to whom are beloved. Borne are engaged in business in distant parts of the country; souse are sojourners in foreign Lands; others have obeyed their final summons, which, sooner or later, will be served upon every one of us; not a few, in the ardor of patriot ism, have given I their. rn lives that the .nation might not preh feyer n tricken h h epi an l, or ah m o dst ba he e h r rrors of starvation in habitations of cruelty, with duke et de. cot urn pro patrta »OH on their lips, they "engirded the champion's sword to bear the conqueror palm."

'I he eyes of the community are fixed with earnest inter. est on its young men.. Their character and conduct are ,übiected to an ever-watchful scrutiny. They ire to be tb- huebands of our daughters, the fathers of our grand children. the inheritor! in our property. They are to he the electors, law-makers and magistrates of our country. in them will depend the weal or woe of Church and :irate, the progreee or retrogradation of public and pri cute morale; In theft, they are to hold in their hands the glory or the shame of the Republic. What wonder then that our young men; their habits, sentiments and princi ph E, their daily and nightly walk and conversation, are rut bt rigorously cannedby their encore. It behooves every young man to form a character hich will endure this scrutiny, and Aline forth pure and hr ight, as gold tried by fire. No sure and lasting success tan be attained without this. But such a character is net the growth of a day. It is not formed by aceretiona from without. but by development from within. It ie not built up like the image which the King of Babylon ea,v in hie dream, of gold, silver , braes, iron and clay ; it is a homegeneoue and symmetrical outgrowth from a living moral principle in the soul, as a plant grows from it.- reed; and like the pbuit,it needs culture and care,liiat it rosy produce good fruit to nourish and bless society. Tessa and thistles will grow without the help of spade or cit ugh ; but corn for bread,thatetrengthaneth man's heart, and the vine that bears purple clusters to delight the mete and renew the health of men, demand the cultiva.or send the pruning knife. There ie a dixtluction between character and reputa tion. Character is the mark. or stamp of the man, which eh ovr e what he is; reputation is founded on common re port; it is what °hiller meta believe that he is. While these may differ fork time, every man in the end will be Spawn as he is. Hie reputation will correspond with his ammeter. The hypocriteunderratee the penetration of others. The veil of pretence is too flimsy to hide moral d, fortuity from the keen gaze of men who study each other for self defence, no less than for attack. Even if a good character had no higher value than to WEISE, in making one's way in too world, it would be a mistake to suppose that the counterfeit will serve as well no the genuine. Honesty is the best polity in business as in everything eke. The statistics of commercial and manufacturing houses in the United States show that every one which has been permanently established, and outlived its founders has not only been distinguished for industry and brains, 'but also for honest dealing. Omit ting ninny of the epeakeee thoughts on this head for want of epace.he continued by alluding to the plan pursued by many of the great and affluent men of the present duty in aequizingla competency and position in society ;and said the rounder of the college understood this. Ho was a careful economist and an industrious worker ; a worker in wood and stone. in bricks and mortar, in stripe and merchandise, in lands and cattle, in dwellings and warehouses, in gold and silver, in bank notes and bills of exchange ,• and he knew the qualities, values and powers of them all. The productions of every clime and handicraft were hie harvest, and the surface of the globe his harvest-field. His enterprises extended over years of time, and over seas, 'elands and continents. To collect, tre usport and distribute the commodities of every market, to buy where he could buy for leant, and to sell where he could sell for most—what knowledge ho must have had of the productions, tasted anti wants of the people of dif ferent countries ! What skill in the use of credit ! What Weight of character in selecting_hie agents ! What saga city in forming his plans! What promptitude, eecretY and boldness in executing them ! . . . When we contemplate this man, toiling early and into to extreme age, with a great purpose in view, long medi tated and ever present in his thoughta, to endow an insti tution for those whose natural guardians should be re moved by death. where they might acquire the knowl• cage and mental discipline that would increase tho pro. duetiveness of their future labor, we assign him a higher rank than hoarded wealth could give him, a place among the benefactors of mankind. Boon after the publication of Mr. Girard's will it became avpareut that, while the primary object at his college was to maintain and educate orpbanajta ultimate effect would be to elevate labor by the diffusion of intelligence among a class of youth who would have no capital with which to start in life, except their hands and their brains. Much wits expected of the college in the way of a more perfect union of power to think with strength to work, and this expectation has been to some extent realized. It must be emitted. hots over, that Young America has no very ardent love of hard work., and the portion of that re• markable personage which sojourns within these walls is no exception to the rest of hisubiquitous corporiety. Mr. Girard doubtless intended that trio boys who were to be educated in his College shotdd learn trades; and the intention was wise. The man who has a trade, has a sure resource to fall back upon, when other wears of ob. taming a livelihood fah' Mr. Girard was a mariner be fore he became a merchant and hanker. In that 'rough but useful occupation he became inured to hardship and tc II and learned those lessons of industry and frugality which wore the foundation of his future prosperity. But man does not live by , bread alone, nor for gold alone. The insane hunger for money, which, with many OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. excludes all other ambition, and all ministrations to the higher w ants of the intellect and soul, is not favorable to the growth of a full, round, complete manhood. it is more desirable to be men, than to he rich men. Many of the maxims of the age- are the out-crop of a narrow, short sighted selfishness, far removed from the broad and en lightened self-love which sees its own best good in the w ell-being of all, In the depths of the human soul,far below the centre to which dollars gravitate.there are thotights, and feelings. and aspirations which God has implanted. and which will sometime well up and gush forth in spite of the load hich presses upon them: thoughts which hold converse with the deep things of nature end the high things of God: affections which hind us to our fellow-men and to the throne of the Infinite ,• hopes which overleap the boundaries of material good, and "wander through eter nity;' and when these do windup within us. wu distrust the cold maxims of selfish men, and begin to have faith in the heart. We learn that it is possible to obtain good by doing good ; and that this good is the soul's wealth more precious than lands, or houses, or costly furnit ure, or splendid equipage, or sumptuous tables. After continuing for someitements, the speaker con. eluded as follows: And now, younggentlemen, accept my thanks for your patient attention to thin hastily prepared address; and for the numerous words and acts of kindness for which I have been your debtor whenever and wherever we have met since you left the College. While you were pa. pits here I tried to discharge towards you the duties of a father. and you have repaid me with the respect and af fection of sons. I look on you with paternal guide to day • and I fee) assured that if the founder of the College coul d coupe forth from yonder sarcophagus, and behold these f t uita of his beneficence:, these 3 oath and young men, so vs ell-dressed, so orderly, Po gentlemanly in appearance And manners, with the glow of health and temperance on their faces, he would declare that these living stones are a nobler monument to his memory than these massive marble walls and fluted columns, and capitals chiseled with Corin th ian art. LETTER. I IFOiVI LONDON. The Irish Church Question The Struggle in Parliament—What the Queen Will Do—Continental Polities. (Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] L0ND07.4, May.6th, 1868.—The struggle between the Tories and the Liberal party under the leader ship of Mr. Gladstone is far from being terminated. Your readers are, no doubt, sufficiently well ac quainted with the outlines of the existing differ ences,to render a repetition' of them on the pres ent occasion unnecessary ; nor do I pretend to sive you a chronicle of the principal events,which you become acquainted with sooner than a letter can reach your shores. I consider it my task to describe tayou the spirit in which the Parlia mentary discussions are received by the people, and which is not telegraphed to the United States. It is generally believed that the Queen will uphold the Ministry, and that she ap proves of the conservative course pursued by Disraeli. It cannot be denied that even outside of the acknowledged Tory party and their followers a large number of our intelligent citizens arc opposed to the sepa ration of the Church from the State, and that Mr. Gladstone's motives for keeping the matter before the people do not appear to be of an en tirely disinterested nature. Still, if Mr. Glad stone advances his own ambitious purposes, he is at the same time on the side of progress and justice. The "irrepressible conflict" must and will end with the separation of Church and State, even thongh it should lead to the dismemberment of the English Church itself as a State institu tion. The events transpiring in France are minor in importance to those of Prussia and the North- German Confederation. The reception which. the Crown Prince of Prussia has met with during his late visit in Turin and Florence is a sure tes timony of the sympathy existing between the people of Italy and the German nation, and the gratitude which the former feel for the substan tial services rendered by the Prussian army to the restoration and unification of Italy. Po , litical union and the introduction of a liberal system of international commercial intercourse is, at present the principal aim of the nations on the Continent. The work of the Zollverein Diet at Berlin promises in that respect to be fruitful of good results, and in a late session of the North German Parliament a treaty of commerce and navigation was adopted between the Bnnd and Spain. Another treaty Is soon to be concluded between Switzerland atd Italy for the better organization of the commercial relations and the laws ;of emigration to and from the two countries. Austria is not behind-hand in the general race for internal improveinents, and the Emperor gives renewed proofs every day of his willingness and serious endeavors to unite the Hungarian with the German element in his dominions. It is said that Klapka is going to be nominated Hungarian Minister of War. An ctfort has been made to bring about an understanding between the left of the Hunga rian Diet and Kossuth, but without satisfactory results. In Roumania the excitement caused by the ill treatment of Jewish families continues unabated, and troops had to be sent to the seat of the disturbances, in order to prevent further outbreaks of hostilities and acts of violence. fiae South Atlantic Squadron A Cruise in the West Indies—The Steamer Monongahela—Natural Con. v ttl slOn se Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] - - ST. THOMAS, W. 1., May 15th, 1868.—The bac] States screw steamer Contoocook (2d rate), flagship of the North Atlantic. Squadron, it:n. Norfolk, Va., on the 28th ult., for her cruise through the West Indies. Rear Admiral H. K. Bitt, of Philadelphia, commands the sqttadron, aid Capt. George B. Balch, the heroic comman der of the Pawaee, whose guns throbbed victory Wore Charleston in our late war, commands the Contoocook as flag ship. On the morn ing of the 29th ult., while off Cape Hatteras, the ship was run down by an unknown merchant vessel. The night was dal k, and a drizzling rain prevailing, the near ap proach of the vessel was discerned too late to prtvent the collision. The injuries sustained by the "Contoocook" were slight and did not prLvent her from proceeding on her course. The damages received by the strange vessel are un known, as she refused to give her name when bailed, and sped off in the distance with such baste as to render boarding her impracticable. After a pleasant and successful run, on the morn ing of the 6th inst. the flagship anchored at Santa Cruz The Island is distinguished for its bold, bluff outline of mountain range. On the crests and along the base of the peaks cocoanut trees flourish perennially. Here and there handsome villas nestle and the whole effect is striking and picturesque to a stranger. A salute of 21 guns was fired by the Contoocook, which was re turned by a Danish man-of-war—the Dagmar —lying along side, and the Fort ashore. The United States steamer Monongahela cast ashore at this Island, as will be remembered by the late violent earthquake which destroyed so many vessels here and at St. Thomas, was launched successfully on the 11th instant, amid the shouts of the natives,who entered with spirit .into the means necessary to relieve her from her rocky bed. She will proceed North, and-tbffe lie disposed of, it is supposed, by the government. On the 12th inst., the Contoocook steamed to St. Thomail, and after lying in that, harbor for two days, prottqededon Imr,eruise. , liduch anxiety is felt by the•natiVaa lest a return of the terrible scenes of 4tfit *comber may totally destroy . their towns.' &pieta slight shocks,were felt on the 13 th hat.

Yesterday, afternoon, says the Williamsport Standard, of the 19th hust,, the shear boom of the Susquehanna taVni company broke near Linden brides, some six miles above here, at the extreme west end or this city.

Many of the logs, we are pleased to learn, were secured by the efforts of our citizens here, who, by the aid of two steamboats and various water crafts, were on the river, actively engaged in navigating them into the eddy on the opposite side from Williamsport between the piers of the city bridge and above the railroad bridge piers, where they will be packed and saved, whilst thousands more flowed down the stream and will perhaps only be taken up at Havre do Grace. The shear boom is about eighteen hundred feet long, and perhaps one-third of it has broken away. The logs which are now in the main boom are considered safe, although, as several of the piers are much shattered, there might be danger, should the water continue rising. neMOVratie Gems. Alluding to Gen. Grant's forthcoming nomina tion, the Cincinnati Enquirer, Mr. Pendleton's organ says: "Wien Grant mounts the Radical mule and gets the monkey up behind him, we may expect to see some tall capering in the ring, and not a little amusement in the pit and galleries. Ulysses seems both fitted and fated to ride mules, and this Last miserable ring-boned, spavined, blind, stifled, knock-kneed, glandered, colicky jackass that he is about to mount will stumble at the first bridge, and land him on the shady side of the political Jordan, where the Radicals case from impeaching and the Presidential dummies are at rest." Speaking of the presence of Senator Wilson at the Congregational festival in Brooklyn,the other day—(Mr. Wilson is well known as a prominent member of the church, and presided at the festi val)—the Troy Press says: A SENATORIAL ORADBAND.—The Hon. Chad band Wilson held up his fathand in the American Congregational Union on Friday, at New York, and uttered an exhortation In words of "terewth" to the" Brothers and Sisters" of the congregation, in which ho breathed a spirit of Christian charity, brotherly love, and pure affection to all men. But Chadband went back to Washington, and against the evidence and the law, for corrupt par tisan considerations, pronounced a false verdict against Andrew Johnson. • Brick Pomeroy will lose his laurels if he does not keep a sharp eye upon these ambitious rivals.
