TIE GRElT RETNION.

The celebration of the anniversary yesterday
in Boston, If we leave out of the account
some unavoidable delays, was brilliant, in
spring, and successful in every way,-much
more so than popular festivities usually are in
a country which has so little taste for pageantry
and so little experience in ceremonial display.
The bright sun, the mild and genial tempera-
ture, the fluiteling of gay colors from every
window and housetOp, the picturesque and
ever changing spectacle of the slowly moving
crowd, the long array of sOldiery, the
strains of military bands, the Ginning of
bells, the thunder Of artillery, and
that namcless music which rises, vague
aud indistinct, from the voices of the throng,
will long be remembered by all who were 90
fortunate us to take part in yesterdays cele-

Cunliffe, who may be very fair-minded per-

necessarily render man totally depraved' so
total abstinence is no absolute guarantee OF

R4D NEWS FROM ENGLAND.

Last nights cable dispatches bring news OF
several additional failures in England which
NAV possibly lead to serious consequences.
Yesterdays failures include the following
named firms: Young, Borthwck & Co., bill
brokers, of London, with liabilities to the
amount of 12,5OO,O0O Westhead q Co.
of Manchester, liabilities 100000; John
Anderson & Co. of London liabilities $1,000
600; John Srachan g. Co.. East India mer-
chants of London, liabilities $l,OOO,OOO;
Henry AdamsOn a. Sons, ship and insurance
brokers, liabilities not given, and j. L.
FowIic, liabilities not given. 1t is also rumored
that there will he further suspensions to-day,
including an important house whose name
is not given. These calamities, following iii
such quick succession the failure on Wednesday
of Alexander Collie g. Co. in the East India
cotton trade for $15,OOO,OOO, must occasion
much anxiety, but before their Importance and
probable effects can be appreciated we must
await further details. Any news we may get be-
fore the arrival of the mails is likely to be bad AT
present we only know this, that there appears to
I've not the slightest tendency to panic i'll London.
The weekly meeting of the directors of the
Bank of England was held yesterday and the
minimum discount rate was left at three and
one half per cent, at which it has stood with
out change for seventeen weeks. During the
week the reserve of the banking department
increased from 4Ols to as per cent of the de-
posts, which puts the Bank in strong posi-
ton Furthermore. the open market rate OF
discount at the last advices had not risen to
level with the Bank rate. All these arc signs
of the absence of any widespread distrust.
Nevertheless so many important failures in
so short time must have their effect on the
state of trade. Two years ago, in June, 1873,
the value of the exports of British manuiac-
lures, which for five years had shown a rapid
and uninterrupted increase, began to decline,
and, with single exception, every month
since then, when compared with the CORE
spending month Of the previous year, has
shown a falling off. The following table gives
the values in pounds sterling of the British
and Irish produce and merchandise exported

other tho predomjnating influence. Hence we
conclude, and We could support our conclusion
il 1t were necessary by an abundance OF in
stances, that the disasters Of one country can
not in this age DO the foundations OF the
prosperity of another. When We wrote on
Monday we judged from the appearances at
that time that the failures would not extend
beyond the radius of those who had made an
improper use of their credit. Subsequent
events have not justified that view, though it
ia still very easy to overestimate the gravity
of the situation.

PFTEPENCE IN THE TIP.

Mr. Henry Cunlile of Rochdae, in England,
comes to the rescue lin The Manchester En-
dminer) of clerical drinkers, being novel thereto
by the cases of several clergymen lately before
the magistrates for exceeding melOwness. Mr..
Cunlifie's deductions are curious, for he finds
i'm these instances evidence of ga vein of lying
Hypocrisy where the world was expecting
Z" solid sl,bstratum of truthfulncss." He recalls
the golden time when parsons could get drunk
without discredit, so that there was no need
of rcsorting to what Mr.. Cunlilie is pleased to
call hdcous duplicity." He traces the present
lamentable state of things to "the search after
"vain ideals, which has resulted in discover
"ing fictitious Christianity whose pre-
"ccpts cannot be Obeyed generally with
"out lying in the face of God and
"man.r referring back 40 years. Mr.. Gun
life recalls "a certain Rev. Peter Ramsay, of
"IIasingdcn, who used to visit public houses
"for the double purpose of taking glass of
whisky and having word of prayer with
"the customers" But does Mr.. Cunliffe mean
to say that therc,ever was time when tip
ping Darson, Il frequcnter Of ale-houses and
champion Of post -prandal contests, was really
respected or exercised any effective religious
influenced For if he does, we answer that
there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.
In novels, in plays, in caricatures, drunken
priests were always represented as disreputable.
Fielding has sneer at the ordinary of New
gate who preferred punch to wine, because the
former is nowhere spoken against in the
Scriptures. IIogarth in more than one
picture chastiscs the ebriety of the
clergy. Drunkenness is sin against
which moralsts inveighed long before tho
dawn of Christianity and against which its
ministers have been, theoretically at least,
preaching ever since. DR.. johnson used to
say that he remembered the time when every
tradesman in Lichiield got drunk but he does
not say that he approved of it, while his own
habits showed that he disapprOved.
But Mr.. Cunliffe has other "reminiscences
and one Of them at least is exceedingly queer.
1t is of q man whose "nOble Christian courage
"and piety were esteemed worthy of imitation"
His family still retain q relic Of him in tho

From the above statement it appears that
the decline has been 12i2 per cent from the
level of 1873. 1t would he rash to predict
that this progressive rate of decrease will con-
tinue, yet the obvious tendency Of the fnan-
cial disturbances in Brazil, Peru, and other
South American countries, of the existing state
of trade in the United States and Canada, and
of the failures which have just taken place in
England is to intensity the universal stagna-
ton. Political economy abounds in theories
which have been brought forward to ex-
plain such O condition Of sluggishness in
all branches of industry as we have been ex-
periencng for the last eighteen months. Trials
of this kind are unfortunately no new thing
in the world. The seat of the disorder is APP
parently the human mind. Confidence is
shaken, consumption is interrupted, producers
find the markets glutted and tho community
seems powerless to relieve itself from the in
cubus which Expresses it. The process of
recovery is but imperfectly understood, but it
is certain that sooner or later it may be in one
year or it may be in five, the commercial world
throws off the disease, and again all classes
seem to be prosperous, and good times roll
round once more. Within this latter half of the
nineteenth century commerce and the telegraph
have made one creature Of the whole world

vote, adopted yesterday q very sensible reso-

indeed well that day has been named for

will come of such a purpose unless something
is done towards accomplishing it, AS the Board
truly say, ono we'll considered methods have
been adopted for the execution of that
