GRAND CONCLAVE OF KNIGHTS TEMPLARS AT PHILADELPHIA—A MAGNIFICENT DEMONSTRA- | TION IN PROSPECT—-THR PROGRAMME AS FAR AS ARRANGED. ParaDetrata, Jan. 5, 1876. ‘Tho great Masonic Order, the membership of which is numbered by hundreds of thousands from every rank | in life, from the potentate and the prince to the humble | artisan, erecting its lodges in every land and under every clime in tho civilized world, has been among | the first, if not the very first, to recognize the claims of our great Centennial anniversary now so near at hand. In the Blue Lodge, in the Royal Chapters and in tho | Commanderies there has for the past two years beon manifested a spirit of patriotism which will be evi- donced by Visitors beivifEisg to vhe Order flocking to | this city to jom in the genoral spirit of rejoicing on the | occasion so near at hand, THE KNIGHTS TEMPLARS, : in whose ranks are recorded many of the distinguished men of the earth, will pay a formal visit to Philadel- | phia for a reunion and the holding of a grand conclave for the election of officers and the transaction of gen- eral business. It is impossible to estimate the effects upon the Order of such a representation of distin- | guished men collected from all the nations of the earth. No order of a secular or religious character | contains a roll of such distinguished names as are | recorded in the various archives of the different de- grees of Masonry. | ‘THE GREAT CONCLAVE. At the last Conclave of the Grand Commanderies of Knights Templars of the United States it was resolved — | that, in view of the Centennial festivities to oc- ‘eur in this yy in 1876, they would add their meed of rejoicing’ by — holding their , next Conclave at the usual period, 30th of May, | in the Masonic Temple of Philadeiphia. In accordance with this resolution arrangements have been entered | into for tho reception of guesis, and to make the sceno | more imposing and to give greater éclaf to the occasion invitations bave been extended to all the Grand Com- | mondertes of the world to assemble in this city on Mon- | day, the 29th of May. To this general invitation nce 18 the only exception, and this arises from the fact that the Grand Commandery of that nation ac- sega en illegally constituted Lodge in New Or- | leans, despite the protests of the Commandery of that State’ and the earnest rémonstrances of the Grand Commandery of the United States; hence they will a be recognized in the programme of tho proceed- | "Rincwisg upon the invitation came the general order | hereto appended, dated December 8, 1875, issued by Grand Master James H. Hopkins, who is chairman of the Special Centennial Committee of our national House of Representatives. ‘THE ORDER. Greeran Oxo! Gnranp Excamement or Wasmtnotox Crry, D. C., Dee, 1, The Knights Templars of this country will participate, in an organized manner, in the celebration of the first ce: tennary of our existence as a nation. 2.

The ute for the assembly will be under the dary of Henney HUPKINS, Grand Master. T 4 Panvin, Grand Recorder PHILADELPHIA HOSPITALITY, The seven Philadelphia Commanderics have asked and have obtained the right to entertain all visiting Knights. With a liberality that knows no stint they } have made such arrangements that each ki it visitor will find that he is a most welcome guest, that his. stay will be rendered more than agreeable by the lavish hospitality extended to him. Kach Philadelphia Com- mandery will have itsown headquarters, and to hing will bo allotted its proportion of arriving guests, to whom it is expected to extend the hosprtalities of the occasion. ‘THE PROGRAMME. A brief ae paged of the proposed ceremonies will be "On Fueeda bun of May, the Grand Conclave will be opened EY business at the Masonic Temple, The | pod oy will last for two days. ‘A grand parade of tho Order, in which it is supposed ters will be over 15,000 Knights in line, will take place | on Jane 1, at eight A. M. In the afternoon the newly elected Grand Master will be- installed at the Academy | of Music, followed in the evening by a grand eee | nade concert and reception, for which the Academy | | of Music and Concert i e been secured.

Work of the Atlantic Steam- ship Lines in 1875. PASSENGERS AND CARGOES CARRIED, The Vessels Employed and the Voyages Made Between New York and Europe. As whole, the several steamship lines carrying on business between the United States and Europe closed the year 1875 with diminished revenues It is true that the traffic was vast and important, but it did not reach that magnitude hoped for, and that which has characterized it in times gone by. The general depres sion of trade, caused by the repeated revolutions in financial circles on both sides the ocean, and especially the hue and ery in earlier months of the year as to the “hard times” in this country, stopped to a marked degree the importation of goods and the usual influx of emigrants, These two avenues of great profit to the companies being partly blocked, their receipts of courso fell correspondingly low, and, in some instances, it has been said that the larger vessels of the sev¢ral lines aye been running at a loss. Be this*5 tt may, ten Tegyar lines have, woekly 804 semi-weekly, de- spatched thetr vessels either way across the ocean, and one and all have dono business snificient at least to continue the running of these magnificent creations of mechanical skill even at this season, while there is great hopes that the centennial year of the United States will again bring around the old and prosperous times of the past. The particulars of this rast European trade for the year 1875 are of the greatest interest to the mercantile com- munity. They show what the capital and enterprise of these several companies have accomplished, ana, ovo S22 Poiow OF unusum inorc=NMlle distrast the amount of their trade. The details appended are given with this view, Generally, they are believed to be very ac- *durate and can be so looked upon, There is embraced im the extended memoranda the vessels employed dur- ing the twelve months in each of the lines, their respect- ive tonnage, the number of trips made both east and west, the number of passengers carried either way, together with many other items of general interestand information. NATIONAL LINE-yNEW YORK TO LIVERPOOL AND LONDON. Thougn far from being the oldest of the companies whose vessels cross and re-cross the Atlantic, there are none that have a higher reputation for the regular- ity and promptness with which its vast business is de_ spatched. Its vessels are fine specimons of naval arch- itecture, all of iron, full powered and among the largest in the service, Discipline of the highest order is main- tained in every department of these huge crafts, and a full knowledge of their particular duties and station is comprehended by every officer and sailor on board, The vesseis employed during the year were tho Spain, 4,871 tons; Egypt, 5,089 tons; The Queen, 4,471 tons; Italy, 4,310 tons; England. 4,896 tons; Erin, 4,040 tons; Helvetia, 8,976 tons; Canada, 4,276 tons; Greece, 4,810 tons; France, 8,676 tons; Denmark, 3,724 tons; Holland, 3,847 tons; footing up a total tonnage of 51,496 tons, These ves- sels have ma thty-one regular trips to New York, Queenstown and Liverpool or London direct and re- turn, and, though none have ‘been marked as unprece- dentedly fast, there has been a regularity in them that has proved eminently satisfactory. The passengers carried to and fro in the same period numbered 25,521, both eabin and steerage, all of whom were landed safely. In tho twelve months these vessels have carried the enormous quantity of 464,701 tons of cargo, which to this port embraced skins, dry goods, paper stock, wool, prunes, figs, teas, soda ash and gen- eral merchandise, while outward it was made up prin- cipally of flour, wheat, corn, cotton, bacon, beef, lard, taliow, sewing machines and notions of all kinds. Some of these steamers have also acquired considerable reputation in transporting valuable live stock, and it ' will be remembered by the turf community that Mr. M. H. Sanford’s string*of race horses was safely and very satisfactorily landed on old Albion’s shores a short time since by the Holland. Beside the improvements which are being constantly made in the vessels of this line, The Queen, Helvetia, Erin and England, during the yoar just passed, received new engines aud has been repainted and ornamented, and an additional ladies’ saloon bas been built upon her spar deck, while, among Other noteworthy additions, is a new steam | sveering gear.
