The impression which had gone abroad, that the Hail could not 'contain the mosses that wouid'endeavor to gain admission, bad the Wean of bringing to the Chestnut-street entranceelvast throng of ladies and gentlemen, even before the early hour of nine o'clock, when,it was announced the, deors would be.

From the moment t lie hall.doore Were opened, until every available spot In that immense - edifice was densely filled, the entering swarm of humanity exceeded any thing ifo have aims witnessed and tivit anal& the rails there should have been no serious accident to record is really' a matter of ataxia°. The jam, in amending the broad Staircase, owing to the tuti- Mit : entrance at the top, was es nearly what might be Viand a solid mites of human beings as the cus tomary of mixed audienees cOuld admit of ;yet, with it all, theernehing ordeal was apparently btoohod by' all concerned with a de gree of good hairier that was marked on the cone, 'themes of those composing the crowd. When the hone - of commencing, 10 o'clock, A. hi., had arrived, - the 'stone presented-from the stage was One of solialtotis interest. If the comfortable 'cal •ploities of the hall exceed atttings for twit thoilsafid *tone, as we believe they do, there must have been ever five thousand souls in it on,this occasion, aa'evory seat on the lower floor, and in both the immense gayeties, together with the lions, stage pliertett, and seats on the platform, was 000n pied, nor were -the standing places in the several aisles less eagerly seized upon. The exercises were opened with music by the orehestra engaged for the occasion, under the able direction of Mr. B. Carr Cross, after which Mr. Jackson Informed the audience that intelligence lied just been received, rendering it highly probable that an attempt would be made to create an alarM fir the purpose of exalting a panic among the andll once, stating that, if such should be the ease, they might'aot upon this advioe"ln advance, and not'be alarmed. The chagrined hiss l i th followed' timely announcement was its dicallyel of the feeling that was brewing and' that was thus judiciously nipped. in - the bud. It may be well here also to make &brief statement of the dream etaneee which led to this apprehended disturbance. ,- -Brom certain proceedings of an unsatisfactory character tsistarda a pits of the Gradtiatihg (Mask *eh will be found tally set forth in the following Valedictory Manifesto," several of the pupils who had earned their diplomas—eight of whom also had been'placed on the 'Mot - speakers—re-' 'Solved to withdraw from the eahoofand bid defi 4nee to the authority of those -who had &added jigainst theM.

Near the close,of the last sohoot term, the graduating ales wows Informed that the price of their diploma" would beets dollars end oeventy.five cents. Questions ware then put ea to whether this payment would se nora the clam from any further demands. It was also sated whether the music would be of ouch a character at that which the previous clam had engaged, and Whether the clue Just graduating might not select Inch band for the occult& as,seemed to them desirable. To these, and all ahnilarlisquiriea. short and nuatiatacto -7 answers were given by the Professor to whom they *ere addressed. An enterprising pttpil then asked be Professor havig charge of the matter whether, hi isinnch ss the br i e demiiiided ter tilt ditildmint *al treater than it ba ever before been, he would not give to the ohms a at aternent of the itema oomposing the ex pense. Although thin query was made by the permis sion of the Pro moor, the latter replied to it that he noneidered it a direct and persona/ insult. Here let no pause a single moment to Inquire why this question wit Jonaidared en insult, and, above all, why it wet tonal toted a direct and personal insult? We ask why, and oho answere—why? The day atter, the clue were in ormod that the par value of diplomas had fallen ti .60, and to those who had paid the former price, fl 25 as returned. An appeal was then mate to Professor ignite, and he immediately met the °lase, and pro mised, on far as 'possible, to give them the desired in formation relative to Commeneeniont, It to here due to Protector Maguire to say that, in all our connections with him, his bonduat has to far as our knowledge extends, been most kind anti gentlemanly, and ho hes aecnred our highest confidence and .esteem.

After a meeting of two hours, an answer was returned to Professor Maguire, that no action bad been taken upon the communication of the nigh School Committee.

Mr. D., on taking ,his seat, was greeted with round after round of applause. The salutatory address was delivered by Meyer Eloldemlth.' Ile was very wall received, and com mended by alluding to the Course they had just ended, and the wattle they stere about to begin. He welComed In the mane of his (11110, with a heartfelt aniFsincere Welcome, the controllers, who had guarded with a jealous cafe the interest of the school ; the professors who had watched'ovet them with a parental tenderness; and especially . him, ' their honored principal; who then, for the first time, presided at their Comrfieneement, end, who, although his term of service had been but a few months, had'already won the'estetim and affections of those over whom he presided. The speaker then proceeded to thp more immediate topic of his diseourse- r " Great Man." Ho desoribed in beau tiful terms many of too prominent ohareeterti to whom history had awarded thin distinction. There were great men whii had been great in wickedness, and great men who had been great in righteous ness. There had been a great Robespierre, who deluged the land of his nativity in blood, and died dishonored, and the object of his people's ex ecration—and there had been a great Washington, who while living had won the hearts of his fellow countrymen, and who bore, oven in his tomb, the honored title of " His Country's Father." Coltun bus:was a great man among adventurers, Newton a great man among philosophers and men of science, and Howard and Wilberforce were illustrious among philanthropists. After continuing in this strain, the speaker then defined what in his opinion were truly great men. Not the booming cannon or the deep-toned thun ders of the bloody field; not the gorey laurels that decked a conqueror's crown made a man really and truly great. But rather those, who, like the heroes of our country's earliest days, sacrificed fortune and health, and even life, in defende of a glorious principle—the 'prinoiple of Universal Freedom. Newton was a great man, and the light of his science had illumined the world with its splendor. His peroration was loudly applauded. His manner, somewhat timid at first, became bolder and more animated as he progressed. Ilis production exhibited much care and thought, and coming from one 60 young made a very fa vorable impression on the audience. After another piece hail been played by the band, Joseph R. Rhoads was introduced as the next speaker, and announced as his theme " The Real and the Ideal." The manner of this young gentleman was very good indeed, although the subject was too metaphysical to be popular. His opening sentences were devoted to showing the relation between the Real and the Ideal—the ma terial and rho mental. He whose mind dwells on beauty, who contemplates the ideality of Nature, will be refined, but without Reality he becomes insipid, hollow, worthless, cold. Both were emi nently essential to man, it was true, and both should be earnestly cultivated. Without reality in his nature, a man could not perform the real!• ties of life; without ideality, he was incapable Of pursuing the higher and holier mission all should strive for. Wrapped up in the sensual present— without a hope, without an aspiration, without a desire beyond his own animal gratification, he became a senseless, grovelling beast. Remorse would take the place of hope and happiness, and this world, to him, would be the he-all and the of existence. Ideality entered, it was true, more into the fine arts, and the accomplished pursuits of life. Without it, we would not have the soul-stirring strains of a Beethoven, a Handel, and a Mozart, nor, even to come nearer home in our survey, would we have our own glorious national songs— Yankee Doodle, Hail Columbia, and the Star spangled Banner Without it, we would not have poetry and sculpture, and could not glory in the memories and the genius of a Raphael, a Phidias, and a Michael Angelo. Without it, we would not have the philosophy or the eloquence that has entered so much into the spirit of the world; and could not, as we do now, revere the memories of a Socrates and a Cicero, an Aristotle and a Demos thenes. But, oonoluded the speaker, preeminent above all, without it we could not believe the holy Scriptures. Let us, then, strive for the ideal and tho real in proper proportions. Let us fix high the goal of oar Wm ambition; let us make virtue TWO , CENT S . the gulding-star of existence; and • ever, on ward. and upward. with an imfaltering and undo- Viating °nurse, let our motto be ! , Hireeltdor. l '• _The _third speaker- ,, ,Mr. Herman, p,„ Ruining— mioke on the Teaching!. of Aeronomy. With the exception of Mr.' Huey's *aledietory, this gentle man's ,effert was,the, best received, and in-many respects it was an excellent essay. His style was lery easy end' graceful. He spoke elearly, and distinctly.' 'Astrononiy,he thought, alone, of - all the sonmoes, revealed the, glory that composes the vast infinitude of universal space. In the solemn hour of midnight; when all Nature is hushed in deep repose; we may, 'by the aid ht. , astronomy, gaze upon the beauties, of, the heavens, and draw lessons of wisdom and instruction from the sight. It was a sublinie feeling' the' thrilled ult,‘as we tresed.upon the multitude of worlds that lined the dark glow of the heavens, nearly, if not all of Which were greater that the planet we live upon. Continuing in this strain, he 'spoke of the men of gigantic intellect—of Herschel and,Newtoniund their compeers—who gave their lives to this enno bling study. If anything, in, the Mind of. the speaker, proved God tbiantinitis 'Being be was, it was the science of astronomy. ,The very °impart 'son it exhibited showed the difference between finite power and infinite wisdorti., Mankind, with all its labor and its adventure, and Be genius and its cunning, was enabled to keep qnly eneyorld in order-ras far as the arrangenielit,of, its surface was emicorned. ' But Gird, on 'the trontrain c tras enabled to keep a million million earths in motion, and in order, too, without any perceptible effort of his power. We had but to examine the scale on Which the heavens are built to (eel the truth that there is a, God. And all round his throne, forever and aver, in silent majesty circles a constellation Of Urinum bored systems, all showing Go is goodness and his gluey. _Th64 were the lessons we were to learn from gaging oaths heavens these were the teach lamer astronomy. The next speaker was T. Edwards Converse, and his theme was "Nature and Mind." He treated it very well. - He had confidence in himself. and• ex hibited the 'utmost self-pesSetislort..: His 'stile, however. was veryuneven, and at time extrova, gent. He viewed 'Nature in its.varions aspects; and also viewed its bearings'on the spirit of Man. Branching • off, he showed', the eonneotion it had with Mind, and its bearings, one on, the .other. Hie utterances were very indistinct, and often audible,' and it watt almost 'impossible from this reason to catch the thread.of his essay. His re ception was very flattering, however, and he-con cluded amid muoh applause. - . 4 Patriotism "'was the Maine of thellfth speak er, whose peril was James 0. -.Justus. He spoke of-pa triothini in the olden time—of, the patriot ism of Leonidais 'and hilfellew-Bpartani; of the Athenians, when at Salamis they drove Abe proud Persian from their shores, and of the pattioUsm of Mithridates when at Marathon be broke the fetters bin ding the 'feet of his fellow-cointry- Men.
