VITT BULLETIN. Anniversary' Writhe Mercantile Benefieial .Alusoeuition. Last evening the Academy of Music was well filled with a fashionable and intelligent audience; on the occasion of the anniversary of the Mercantile Beneficial Aisociation. The stage was Pretty well filled with invited guests, prominent members of the mercan- tile fraternity, distinguished clergymen and pnblie men. An orchestra was in attendance, and for more than half an hour treated the vast au diencnwith excellent music. ' At half-past seven o'clock W. C. Ludwig, Esq., introduced the Hon. Alexander G. Cattell, as Prisident of the meeting. [Ap. ;dense.] Cattell, upon taking, the chair, re marked that a fortnight since, when the committee waited upon him to obtain his consent to act as president of the meeting, he : excused birnsel f-on the ground ' that tits threatened engagements seemed to require that he would have to leave home, and thud' be would not be able t 9 comply. He thought also that he would not- have suffi cient time to prepare such: remarks turthe Occasion would require. Finally he did consent, but it was with the understanding that he would not be expected ..tomake a speech. It was, therefore, not his purpose to inflict a speech on tills occasion. He knew that it was customary upon gentle men taking the chair as president, of public assemblages, to occupy considerable time iH makingspeeches, thus taking up the time that should be appropriated to other and moredistinguhihed men. The custom of presidential speech making - would be more honorable In the breach than in the observance. [Applause.] He did not at all desire, on the present occasion, to encroach, upon any of his distinguished friends to-night. But notwithstanding this he would beg leave to say a word or two. He thought that he would not do any injus tice to any other class of people or profes-. Mon when he said that he thought the mer cantile profession exceeded them all. The manufactitrer may be considered the bone and sinew of the body politic, but the mer chant was like the heart of the system that promoted life [applause], for it is trade and commerce that give life to business. [Ap plause.] The prosperity of Philadelphia is indebted to the enterprise, energy, capital, honor and sterling integrity of the mercan tile community. The merchants are the great promoters or organizers of the system of internal improvements. This classi is ever foremost in progressing with works of civil" etion. Bee where the iron horse tra vels over the iron track, as though 'chasing the setting sun [applause] , from the Atlan tic coast to the peaceful shores of the Pa cific: from the frozen region of the North to the tropics on the Gulf. [Applause.] Our system of canals and steamers, the twin sisters' of civilization, have built up much of the ;prosperity of Philadelphia. It is the enterprise, the capitaL the energy and brains of the merchant to which we,.as a people, / are indebted for our procperity. It is the province of the merchant to develop tb: mineral wealth, the fields and forest, to fa cilitate and cheapen traveLt and multiply the, means of transportation. To advance these the merchant his ever taken the initia tory step. In whatever tends to romote the interests, the honor and di y o the community, the merchant has not been un- mindful. But there is yet more work for him. There are yet other fields for his en terprise. He must give a fall support to the Southern line of steamers so ably managed by the present board of directors. Let them have half a million or a million of dollars. if necessary, and thus push on the enterprise. If it be desired to re tain what we have, and gain more of foreign commerce, the transatlantic steamers must be supported, or else the commerce of Phi ladelphia will become a byword and a re p-04phi . Besid es energy.and honorable deal ings, the merchants are distinguished for their benevolence and charity. In Phila delphia we have many charitable institu tions, asylums, hospitals, deaf snd dumb institutions; its homeb for the poor, for the orphans. Search the records of these orga nizations, and you will find them all sup ported by the benign literality of the merchants of Philadelphia. [Applause.] The speaker now alluded to that beautiful pile of architecture, the Girard College, as s monument to the enterprise and liberality of a single ,Philadelphia merchant. [Ap plause.] The ' merchants of Philadelphia can certainly claim enterprise and devotion to the country duringlhe long night of civil war. From the time when the glorious flag of America went down at Sumter until it was raised again above its shattered walls, the merchants of Philadelphia gave their untiring and unflinching devotion to the whole country. [Applause.] In the darkest hours of our peril they never failed to respond whenever a call was made for men or money. [Applause.] The speaker now appealed to the mercantile community to give all the encouragement they can to promote the interest of the asso ciation. He alluded to the vicissitudes of life and the novel and peculiar nature of the life of the merchant. The association is not organized to alter the laws of trade, but simply to assist those of the profession who may in the course of time meet with times of 'adversity It is an institution that obeys the Scrip tural injunction not to let the right hand know what theleft does. [Applause.] Even the Board of Directors' do not know who obtains redef; this is confided to a small relief committee. The speaker now ad dressed the Jellies particularly, and in some pleasant remarks, showed how they could assist in promoting the objects of the insti tution. The speaker then retired amid much ap plause. Mr. Love now read the annual report, The Rev. Alfred Cookman waanow intro duced. He was received with applause. He said that he felt inclined to acknowledge the deep emotion that overcame him m using to make an address, and he would also acknowledge that he felt a just pride ae a citizen of Philadelphia,, bec.ause he lived in no mean city. [Applause.] He felt thankful to Mr. Cattell,who,in hisiemarks, had so beautifully elucidated the syetem of brotherhood of the Mercantile Benevolent Association, which is so rapidly extending, not only in this city, but throughout the world! He was glad that his lot was cast in the city of Brotherly Love, or city of beau tiful residences, a city of magnificent mouu xiaents:and memorials of the benevolence, and the enterprise, the charity of her citi zens. Rome had its Coliseum, Thebes her temples, Egypt'her pyramids; and Philadel phia has her Girard College for orphan boys, her homes for friendless children, her asy lums and her Mercantile BeneVolent Asso ciation. [Applause.] The speaker now alluded to the Roman mother who, in refer ring to her own children said, "These are myjewels." May bot Philadelphia exclaim, upon beholding all these temples of virtue, charity, liberality, refinement and Chris tianity, that are reared everywhere in this city, from the Delaware to the Schuyl kill, " These are my jewels"? 'He, the speaker, felt'great grstification upon. witnessing the spirit of • brotherhood that seems- to be marching triumphantly throughout' the world. May it not tend to -aWaken the tender memories of individual brotherhood? May it not bring , to memory the scenes of youth after we have reached the riper years of old age? Doe's it not seem at thih time that the angel of brotherly: love, with the signet of heaven on its brow, is encircling the world with a series of broth eihoods for wise, charitable and Christian purposes?,, The, brotherhood of the . / mar clients is promote friendship and lieppl liess;.then we have other brotherhmid4 for the jaromotion of many other good things; we cave a great national brotherhood that was defiantly assailed by the demon of sla fay, demon that used every art and hell rah design to disorganize that national coat i act; but that demon failed, and we stand to. night in a much better condition. than ever. before. [Trernendous applause.] Uni versal Rberty,impartialjustice,equalxtgbts, now constitute the predominant principles of our great national brotherhood.", [Great apnl an se. ] Thus - we present a much stronger , and more noble compact than ever before. [Renewed applause.l.The speaker now in; treduced the Christian Brotherhood, and expressed his belief that the good time was coming where things on earth will be more like the things in heaven. ' During these remarks he alluded perso nally to Mr. Vincent, the great English re former, the martyred Lincoln, Chief Jastice Chase Gen. Howard and Judge Bond—the able,impartial, noble, patrioticjadge whose promptims saved the city of Baltimore from being deluged with human blood. At the mention of each of the above names the audience applauded. When the name of Judge Bond was pronounced the applause was loud and continued. Mr. COokman now tiddressed himself to the object of the Mercantile Benevolent As sociation, and he felt sure that the encon •ragement to its managers would be only re newed during the present.year. The Rev. Phillips Brooks delivered an eloquent address. In beginning, he said that he made no claim to being a, merchant; but, if deVotion to the principle which ac tuates them is considered, then be felt that his presence was not an intrusion. He would take a . 6bmewhat different course in his remarks .from , those enunciated by the two distinguished gentlemen who had kire ceded him. Re would take a hurried view of the mercantileinterests, in a general way, ancient and modern. He alluded to the condition of commerce in, the fifteenth century, when a few, creeping ships went along the coast, bearing a few things inci dent to the country, and contrasted it with that of the present time. In the time of Virgil, before the Christian era, the, poet laureate then proclaimed against commerce and in favor of the isolation of nations, a prerequisite to the golden age. Virgil enter tained this idea; but the poet laureate of Queen' Victoria's time, Tennyson, whose poem .on commerce was the knitting of all nations, sending forth their ships bearing on every sea the white-sails of commerce. The contrast between Virgil and Tennyson, who lived 2,000 years apart, was dascribed in language at once eloquent and forcible. He considered that the merchant estab lished not only the standard Of commerce, but that of national life. It was not thelawyer, the scholar, or the minister, that did this; it is the merchant alone. The merchant es tablishes the standard of modern time; the merchant in . India, whom you never saw and never expect to see, trades with you because yon have based the standard of commercial relation on the principal of honor and honesty. [Applause.] Withiu the past few years the merchants estab lished the standard of loyalty. [Applause.] He thought the country owed a debt of gratitude to the merchants of Philadelphia and the merchants of the North. [Great applause.] The merchants strike the key. note in ail these good works of enterprise, liberality, generosity, benevolence and charity. Yon have not come here to-night simply to have your ears tickled with a mere reiteration of the good things you have done, nor what you are yet to do. In fact the merchant has a fearfal weight of responsibility resting upon him. As he establishes the social standard of society he should be careful about extravagance, be• cause in this he seta the standard for the go vernment of others. The present or coming winter promises to be a very severe one. and - he would suggest that in place of erecting a standard of extravagance, the Merchant will substetute economy, and with the wealth he possesses not forget the suffering poor of Philadelphia, nor forget the Mercantile Beneficial Association. Mr. Brooks retired amid great applause. The audience separated to the music of the national melody, performed by the or chestra. BALE OF REAL EsTATI, &c.—Messrs.
