Ono of the must striktug features of ',the
-WEDNESDAY, JULY 18., 1855.
Commencement Was the oration delivered by
the Rev. Dr. WitEnoN, of New York, before
the Belle Let trey and Union Societies, on Wed.
nesday morning. The subject of the tiddress
was "Homer ;" and although it might be sup
posed that everything which could be written
said or sung about
Tho Mod old man of Scio's rocky 146,"
had long since been uttered, Dr. Wbedoo
entertained his audience for more than nn
hou'r, in a strain of "remark so novel and so
scholarly, as to charm every class of hearers.
The chief point of his address—at least the
point which chiefly arrested our attention—
was a contrast between Homer and Shakes
peare, which was most ingeniously conceived,
and most happily executed. Dr. Whedon
displayed throughout, a delicacy of taste, and
a refinement of scholarship, which is extreme
ly rare on such occasions; and the interest
which tho audiehne-took in his acute criticisms,
and in his fine tissue of observation, amply
proved, that even for popular audiences, ge
nius can always more than supply the place
of rant, There was no fustian in the address
from beginning to end; no extravagance of
thought or of language ; no attempt at "fine
writing," in the ordinary sense of the-phrase ;
yet the entire audience, so far as we could see,
went along with the speaker in his nice and
delicate discriminations, and appreciated his
refined and classical wit,
We are glad to learn that this admirable
address is shortly to be published.
Prof. lIMIANY'S Baccalaureate address, de
livered cn ‘Vo l nesday evening, Was listened
to by an immense audience with entire suds
factiftn. His theme was the "Elements of char
acter essential to success in life," and in the
opinion of all was treated with great skill and
judgment throughout. The main aim of the.
address was to inculcate the need of energy—
of back botte—in order to the nchierment of the
great ends oflife/ This pilot was worked out
wit much strength of thought and apt illus
t;ation. The address combined, in a remark
able degree, the agreable with the 'useful—
it had'all the charms of a polished oration and
the value of condensed and practical wisdom.
Prof. Tiffany's style of oratory is elegant and
vigorous and this address was delivered in his
best manner.
One fact is worthy of especial police in con
vection with Commencement, which is not on
ly flattering to the reputation of Dickinson
College but which may be mentioned as an in
centive to students„ It is that several ofithe
graduates have already been called to promi
nent positions as•tenohers. Ono to the head
of a rising institution in North Carolina, and
our ynung and promising friend, Wm. 11. Eck.
els, of Shepherdstown, has been invited to
take charge of the Digh'School in Harrisburg.
Others of the class who design to pursue teach
ing as a profession have been equally fortu
nate, and the fact shows that the attention of
the public is directed to our College with the
confident expectation of securing well quali•
lied teachers. •

Me. Burron :—:-This letter is indited among

their ..ummer day here. A social and friend.
1 set of visitors are always to be found at the
Springs ; and between the trmity amusements,
the ladies and the fine walks, time slips by on
nuiseless wings. I would say to all those of
y readers who contemplate spending some
time in the country, to enquire about Bout;ling
Gap before deciding - upon where they intend
to pass the summer;
Many inqrovements have been made this
season which will increase the comforts mid
convenience of visitors. A large Bathing
Pool has been built in the stream in the val.
ley, where the adventurers can sport among
the wares to their heart's content. A number
of summer houses and bowers have been put
up in the most romantic and picturesque lo
cations, while the grounds generally have been
rendered attractive by art and industry. Er
cry desirable accomodation can in. short be
found here.

The execution of the prohibitory liquor law,
in Now York State, is verypnequal. In New
York city there has been scarcely a show of
enforcement, while in-Brooklyn the authori
ties carry it out vigorously, seizing the liquor
and closing the taverns. It is said that the
wheat crop of Illinois will, this season, a
mount to at least 25,000,000 bushels. The
largest product of Illinois hitherto has not
been more than 16,000,000 of btishels. A fire
in Baltimore city, ow Wednesday night, in
Barnes street near Bont, destroyed twelve
two story brick dwellings, of which six were
owned by Robert Itussell, five by W. O. Eiiih

were unoccupied. Loss about $6OOO. The
Court of Claims was organized yesterday et
Washington, and, about fifty lawyers filed
their credentials fur examination. Leaven

ana Know Nothings have nominated Charles
lierbigncy as their party candidate for Gov

convention of the free State party has been
held in Kansas, at which resolutions were
passed denouncing the fradulently elected
mob legiilature, refusing to obey any of its
laws. and request the legally elected members
to withdraw from it. The danger of
war in that quarter seems to be on the in
crease. The Green Lane murder case, in
which a German named Schlegel is arraigned
for the murder of his wife, is under trial in
the Court of Oyer awl Terminer of Philadel
phia. The testimony is altogether circuoi
stantial. In Cincinnati, General Sargent,
yesterday, ordered the military companies of
the Irish battalion to deliver up forthwith
their arms, 81e. Only one company complied,
and the General sued out writs of replevin
against the others, under which the Sheriff
Seized the arms and >lccoutremcnts of the
recusants. A similar demand is to be made
on the German companies. The German com

A dwelling louse near Providence, It. I ,

teachers in the public schools of that city, for
being of foreign birth, or attached to the Ro

after which the prisoner, Schlegel, was dis
charged. The jury was out three hours, do

penetrable South Carolina. At an election in
Charleston, their candidate for Sheriff 'has
been chosen by a majority of 850. ' A Free

The Baltimore Republican tells a shocking
story of a soldier, named Louis Loup, being
dreadfully denten by a Sergeant at Fort Mc-

was received by Lord Panmure from General

Por some drys, rex iomsly, Lord 4aglan had
'men suffering from indi.position,".bia , until 4
on the 128th. his Lordship progressed
to the satisfacti, u of his medical attendants.
Afterwards i.larming symptoms developed
themselve., mtelided with difficulty of breath
imz. which gradually increased. From 6 P.
M. he was unconscious, and from that period
he gradually sunk until 2. - .) minutes before •
nine, at which hour he died. The event has
plunged the whole army into the most pro

"It is with profound regret I have to an

The Times correspondent. writing from tie
it Jtie. smtes that on the list ult , thc

noitering the fortifications at Saeaborg, tßci.-
I,ntal:y mistook the channel, and in m.nse—

and while so employed, one of the near forts
opened a brisk tire upon the frigate. Four
shots struck her, hilling one man and wound

returned the comp!iniet.t with such energy
and precision that he -ucceed . ed in blowing up
a large Russian powder rtmgazine, and occa
sioned other damages to the fort.
TEE ATTACK ON THE MALAKOFF.
The detailed accounts of the attack on the
:\laiakoff and Retina towers made b 3 the Allies
on the 18th ult , have been received, and are
published in evens° in the London morning
journals. The various correspondents ascribe
the repulse and great loss which the French and
English experienced to the want of proper
management, and the total absence of that
miiita knowledge and judgment so nennisle
in such huzai dons and difficult undertaking.
The Extraordinary Session of 1855 of the
French Legislative. Assembly wo,o opened on
the afternoon of the 2d inst , by his Majesty
Emperor. In .his speech to I,he Senate and
