MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1868 Professional Incomes, and no forth. A few months ago, when Mr. ULLMAN com menced the Merman Concerts at Now York, ho advertised that M. THALDERG would con fer additional interest and value upon the per formances, by playing on the piano-torte. In order to enhance the advantage (supposed to be) conferred upon audiences by the exhibi tion of M. Timarrta's skill and talent, Mr. ULLMAN stated that during each month of that distinguished foreigner's residence in this country, his nett profits had been Twenty Thousand Dollars a month : in other words, that for playing two or three pieces on the piano, four or five times every week, M. Tus.x.- DEMO had cleared, every five weeks, a sum ex actly equal to the whole salary paid to the President of the United States in an entire year. The onlydifibrence is that MAI.IIEIO3'B receipts, as above stated, are clear of all de ductions—the cost of his travelling andliving being included in tho gross expenses, and the $20,000 per month being nett profit—whereas the person who fills the high and responsible office of President of the United States has to bear all expenses, for himself and family, out of his salary, so that he must be a very elotio and almost penurious man If be can save money out of it. As Monsieur THALSERCI was in New York when his managerial friend ULLMAN made this announcement of his great profits, as the advertisement was so often repeated that ho must have seen or heard of it, and as he did thereafter fulfil the engagement at the un happy MusAun concerts so announced, there can be no doubt that ULLMAN'S statement, al beit meant to puff off the said M. THAL- Braig, was authorized by that gentleman. There is matter for grave reflection on this. It appears nearly incredible that, for any thing he could do, such a man could earn such nett profits as $240,000 a year. Nothing like it is earned, in any place under the sun, by any person out of the class to which M. TIMMER° belongs. A. Cabinet Minister in this country receives exactly $B,OOO, being one-thirtieth part of such nett profits as this man has made in a year; a Major General has $2,400 per annum; the Chief Justice of the United States has sQ,soo—or about what M. THALDERO would clear in niao days performances, each of one hour. We might multiply examnles, but have adduced sufficient to show the inequality of compensation. It may be alleged, and not without some foundation, that this case of M. TUALHERO is a very exceptional one—that pianists, fiddlers, players, singers, and dancers do not always clear so many dollars as M. Tuaxnano has had the gratification of sacking; that very few, indeed, are able to take away with them to Europe such a sum as half-a-million dollars as the fruit of two years not very laborious ex ertions. But several persons have done almost, if not quite, as well as M. TLIALBERG. There was that virtuous damsel, fladembiaolleFANtry &man. If her friend and agent, Mr. llztiny Wutorr,- were here, (instead of being em ployed, in• Europe as a Buret-service agent, to be paid out of a secret-service thud,) we should ask him whether, even deducting the price of that service of silver•plate which she bought for disinterested BENNETT, of the New Bork. Herald, she did not clear nomtvsBso,ooo during her visit to this country some twenty years ago? Then there are numerous others who made largo sums of money wholly beyond any just claim on the public for any thing like such amounts. Every year, in fact, brings over new importations of this class, and it the cry is still, They come !" When we say that three Italian opera-houses are to be in full operation, at New York, our readers may form some practical notion of the vast quantity of money which is expected to be disbursed by the patient public, particularly when it is re collected that modest IltaNum wanted people to pay $lOO cash for twenty nights of Les:- LET'S singers from London. That able periodical, the New York Musical Review, published by MAsoN Brothers, has an illustration, in its last number, called " Musi cal Notes and their Value," which has the advantage of being true as well as smart. We, therefore, take leave to introduce it here : An eminent statistician bad just prepared a very elaborate report on the subject of vocalists' salaries, in which ho calculates the value of every note they sing, and gives a table showing the cost price to the manager (roulades and fiortture apart) of the best-known phrases in the tenor and soprano parts of the most popular operas of the day. The tenor's salary is put down at $20,000 a year, or in that ratio, and it Ls supposed that he sings seven times a month, or, on an average, nearly twice a week. He figures, then, in eighty four representations in the course of the year, and receives nearly $250 for cools performance. Now, according to M. Berlioz, who invented this system of computation, a good tenor's part, snob as that of Arnold, Elvin°. or Manrioo, consists, on an average, of some 1000 notes or syllables; but as two or more notes are sometimes sung to one sylla ble, the author of the report will take the number of syllables. Fur each syllable, then, the tenor will receive the sum of twenty-five cents, and at the close of the evening's performance his bill might be made out a for the following fashion We will suppose theopera to be , La Sonnambula:" " Still " $0 25 "$0"25 " Gently o'er me" 1 00 " Steeling " 60 "Memory will bring back the feeling" 2 00 As a very fair soprano may be found for $15,000 a year, Amins's notes will come somewhat cheaper, and in fact will not be found to cost more than eighteen cents a piece.

Other people, who realize the means of living in this country, spend the money where they make It, and thus capital is perpetually returned into that . circulation which, in turn, makes the profit of trade. "Eminent foreign artists," as it is the fashion to call them, alone take' our capi tal wholly out of the country. They will continue to do so while we aro seduced by fashion to pay extravagant prices for hearing and seeing them. No other class has any chance of success such as these people experience. A lawyer who earns a yearly WOMB of $lO,OOO, after twenty years' hard otrilggle in the courts and hard study in his office, is considered to have reached the top of the tree. How many painters, how many sculptors among us, clear oven $5,000 a year? How many physicians, by unwearied toil, realize $lO,OOO ? As for our own actors and actresses, dancers, musicians, and vocal ists, how few can obtain that amount, year after year, even with the enormous wear and i • tear of mind and body, which their proll3siden necessitates? With about some half do, zen exceptions, no American author earns even five thousand dollars a year by his ! pen. As for newspaper writers, the most hardly-worked, because the " moat constant ly worked of all, not half a dozen earn $5,000 a year. Nay, half that amount is con sidered extremely liberal compensation, while tell seven-tenths of this "noble army of mar -1 tyrs " wept() think themselves lucky if they had a clear $l,OOO per annunt.

THALDERH cleared in a single week. Forth) (host part, also, clergymen of all persuasions are underpaid. The annual income of $1,500, though necessarily larger in populous cities, is greatly over the average received by minis. ters of all denominations in the United States. That by preaching and lecturing, the Rev. E. H. CHAPIN should make $lO,OOO, or the Rev. HENRY WARD BEECHER realize over $15,000 a year, only shows the exceptions to the general rule. It must ho considered, also, that the various classes to whom we allude have continuously to labor for the inadequate income they ob tain. On the other band, the THALBEROB, the ELLEILERE, the Ltortarrozs, and the crowd of such people whom we foolishly rush to hear aed see, merely labor—if their performances come under the generic term " labor"—for a few hours per week, during a season or two, and, making a fortune within that brief time, need never play, nor dance, nor sing again, for they have got from us an amount of capital so largo that they can live like princes, upon the interest, in their own country. Thal makes a great difference, to he sure. While we take pleasure in thus converting these adventurers into millionaires, native artists, it is clear, have little to expect from us—we mean from the haut-ton of our cities and towns. Whenever the day shall arrive in which we'shall ignore the t. fashionable" pre. tensions of those foreign extortioners, Men will the great American people turn their attention to the rising native talent of their own land. Notices of Now Publications. Being mortal, we are not without some human weaknesses. One of them is a penchant for read ing good novels. In the course of each year, we manage to get through Fielding and Brnollett, "tail Mae" and " Don Quixote," Scott and Bul wer, Thaokeray and Diokens. Add to these, Goldsmith's immortal " Vicar of Wakefield," and you see what our steady novel-reading is. We also delight in novelties, and hail the author of a new work of notion as a sort of .personal friend. Well, here we have a downright original, excel lent novel of English social life in the present day, called "Doctor Thorne." The author it Mr. An thony Trollops, a son of our Mrs:Trollope, we believe. The story is one of the middle class in England, with a slight dash of aristooratical man ners. Doctor Thorne is decidedly the best novel of the season, and we give it our fullest praise as such. Of a very different class is "The Life and Adven tures of Major Roger Sherman Potter," a "out glen • teeter Major Jack Downing. This is a politleo-Bati rical novel, with a Yankee hero. It has cuts, direst and indirect, at a great number of public usages and persons, and is agreeable enough even as a story. Some roughly engraved illustrations can scarcely be said to give additional value to this book. Without any remarkable brillianoy, it may be safely predicated that be who reads half a dozen pages will scarcely be content without getting through the whole book. " Moredun," a navel of ancient timei; derives mush, but not the whole, of its claims to attention, from the fact that it has been affiliated upon Sir Walter Scott. Barring a few modern allusions (which may be interpolations), there really is no saying that Scott may not have been the author. It I. singular enough that, In 1814, Ballantyne, when replying to Miss- Edgeworth's letter to the author of Waverley, which we published yesterday, an nounoed to her that he was engaged upon u,s9- manse "of yet more ancient mannera"—whiaLcak;- tilnly oras nob publfibed.

A neatly illustrated History of King Riohard 11, of England," by Jaoob Abbott, whioh has just appeared, is written impartially, ably, and with that admirable dearness whioh has made its au thor such a deserved favorite with juvenile read• era. The new number of the Tirestsitinster Review (Leonard Scott's oheap and accurate reprint) onto movies a. now volume, and contains several valua ble articles, the most interesting of which are upon Calvin at Geneva, the Last Days of Church Rates, Cardinal Wiseman's Reoollections, Medical Education, Women Artiste, and Recent Astron omy. The very beet paper here is devoted to the Domestic Annals of Scotland, a subject admirably treated. Mr. Charles H. Haswell has enriched Harper's fine collection of first-class instruction books with a treatise on Mensuration and Practical Geometry, intended fur the use of t 3 tuden tx, Meehardoe, and Engineers. The Information on the Carpenters' slide-rule and the art of cask-ganging will be found useful. Mr Haswell has performed his work in a very masterly manner. Redfield, of New York, who has resumed the business of publisher, has brought out another valu able work by Dr. French, Dean of Westminster, ono of the best scholars and most accomplished philologists in England. This new book is called " On the Authorized Version of the New Testa ment, in connexion with some recent proposals for its Revision." While Dean Trench admits that the English translation of the New Testament must be revised, pointing out many instances in which the version is undeniably erroneous, he also vindicates lte great and undoubted merit. Al though he says little about American attempts at revision, it Is evident that be does not think high ly .of them. We cordially commend Dean Trench's little volume to all who read the Holy Scriptures. Frank li. Goodrich, better known as "Dick Tinto," has just broirght ont an octavo, beautifully printed and handsomely illustrated, called " Men upon the Sea." It profe'ses to give a history of maritime adventure, exploration, and discovery, from the earliest ages to the present time, with a detailed account of remarkable voyages. This promise is completely fulfilled. Mr. Goodrich literally begins with the beginning, when Man Learned of the little asuttlas to slily, and concluding with the employment of steam vessels to lay the Atlantic cable. Though this handsome volume is constructed out of materials supplied from a large vitriol of hooks, it Is not a compilation. Mr. Goodrich has well digested and condensed a vast amount of information, and the result is a very excellent work. Mispah—Prayer and Friendship," by Lafay ette C. Loomis, is a well-meant and well-executed book, containing serious Meditations and Scripture Readings fur every day in the year—that is, Mor ning and Evening Scripture Readings (which will embrace the Psalms twice and the New Testament entire during the year,) and Meditations generally upon the evening Reading. We think so highly of the devglional spirit and devotional ability of this boor, that we trust to 4nd It generally adopted in families. ROEIV.ND Dootor Thorns, a novel.

(Prepared for The Presej LADIES' HOOPS on Sitars.—A single Connect!. out manufacturer consumes two thousand pounds of steel ovary week In producing hoops for female skirts At a single establishment in Newark, New Jersey, called the marble skirt palace, six hundred girls are employed in manufacturing spring skirts. They produce 3,000 daily, embody- I tog all the recent improvements in rendering them light and atnplificative. This great oonoern coon. pies four immense floors of only one room each, with every possible convenience attached to each floor. There are cloak and bonnet 'rooms for the girls, dressing-rooms and retiring-rooms. with mirrors, hydrant water, and everything that the finest lady could desire or ought to have. In ad dition, the proprietors have provided a handsome library for the use of the girls. Each floor is blooming with beauty like a flower garden, and the noise of hundreds of sewing machines is like the flutter of birds' wings commingled with the humming of bees. Thus these marvellous inven tions, which have substituted iron bands and fingers for the delicate nerves and muscles of woman, are gradually removing from her fair shoulders the neediewoman's curse The demand for hooped skirts could not have been supplied without the aid of sewing machines and steam. The blighted generation of the gentler sex, who grow pale and languid over the needle, is already succeeded by a fresh and blooming array of this common' sisterhood, who have now before them the lite of artists instead of that of slaves. Tamons' SHRARS.—Another Newark oitisen, Mr. R Heinle* has just patented an improve ment in tailors' shears, whieh 111 eaid to ?Genre some advantages unknown to former instruments. Mr. Heinisoh was the first improve} of the handle, by rendering it lam painful to the operator. Tho present improvement consists in the nice adapta tion of ths cutting edges, whirl are so conetruoted as to give a double action, so that the lower blade advanoes in opening, at the same time promoting a lateral movement which keeps the shears open no as to out from heel to point. By thin arrange ment a man can out with greater one°, more ape ditiously, and with less fatigue, than by any other mode. The patentee has been for many years en gaged in manufaoturing tailors' shears, and has obtained a world-wide reputation as an artist. SUPPLYING WATER TO STRAAI DOILERB.—A pa tent has been Issued to Meant. Sealy and Decal eon, of New Jersey, for an improvement in appa ratus for supplying water to steam boilers. The advantages gained by this improvement consist in returning the steam used for heating purposes, and the exhaust from the engine immediately after condensation, at very nearly boiling point, directly into the boilers; thus supplying them with distilled water, and keeping them free from sedi ment of any kind. All the cold water required to be pumped into the boilers would be simply to make up the loss occasioned by leakage from the cooks, gauges, and safety valve. ' This apparatus has been several menthe in use at Newark, and after being carefully tested, has boon found to save very nearly thirty' per cent. of the fuel. Patents for this invention have been secured in Europe. The pajentoes guaranty to purchasers a saving of twenty per mint in the fuel. DitPROYED SLEEPING OAR.—Nun:mime attempts have boon made to construct a perfectly convenient Eleeping seat for the long reaches of American railroads. Most of them have been failures, but Mr. S. C. Case, superintendent of oar work on the Michigan Central Railroad, has just suoceeded in constructing a sleeping car of the most desirable description, and it is now being introduced on the road. By a very quick and easy method, the two seats occupied during the day are at once con verted at night into soft cushioned beds for the use of three persons. A curtain then falls over the whole compartment, forming a family room, which, with the windows raised for the admission of air, Is all that can be desired. The great ad vantagt(af this invention is, that It can be adapt ed to the common ears now in use upon the road, whiett i Was not the case with the• Woodruff patent. Cars whiob - require refitting are thus made avails ohanglng_ the internal arrant , - mditi,it a eost'probaly not exceeding that re quired in the common mode of fitting. Those who travel much by railroad will fully appreciate the efforts of this model road in thus placing within their reach all the comforts of life. Four of these care will bo pissed upon the track in salmi, time. They will be furnished with a regular at tendant, to provide for the wants of travellers. Water closets, wash-rooms. he., are also attached. DANGEROUS CRINNEY•TOPS.—Most persons have notioed bow completely the mortar in chimney tops is corroded, so that there le conetantdanger to passers-by from the falling of loose bricks. This corrosion is produced by the motion of the sulphu ric acid in the beat which we consul:4o, and it goes on so rapidly as in a few years to render the chim ney-top extremely dangerous. The reader has only to look up almost anywhere, and he will see bricks loose and in danger of being blown down by the next high wind. This destruction of mortar may be prevented by very cheap and simple moans. As water is indispensable to the energy of the sul phurous gas, it is only necessary to protect the mortar by some water-proof covering. Hence common beeswax, laid on hot with a brush, will be suffiolont, or two or three good coals of paint will be equally 'effectual. The chimney must be cov ered or painted both maid. and out. Builders should be compelled by contract to protect them in this manner. THE VOLTAIC Prms —Six years ego the French Emperor offered a premium of $lO,OOO for the most useful application of the voltaic pile, provided it were new. A commission of thirteen learned in the eoiences was to decide upon the discoveries sub mitted. For the last five years this illustrious body of savants have employed the utmost zeal and la bor in fulfilment of the dutise of their appoint ment. Their Chairman, Mr. Dumas, has recently submitted a report. Ile avers that no discovery has been communicated to them which warranted the distribution of the prize. But two French corn petitors end two German have been awarded gold medals in commemoration of distinguished achieve ments in medical science. They had devoted their time Co medical application of the electric forces, and had accomplished loyal cauterization, anti the complete restoration of paralyzed muscles and limbs to a surprising extent, of which the world will, in due time, bo made acquainted. The com petition for the premium of $lO,OOO was according ly continued five years longer. Tea Fraso.—Although this elegant musical in strument was an invention of the last century— that is, the piano 'such as we now have it—yet a singular obscurity hangs over its origin. The merit orinventing it has been by turns ascribed to the Germane, the Italians, and the English. In struments in which the tones wore produced by keys acting upon stretched strings, are of conside rable antiquity. The instrument which imme diately preceded the piano was the harpsichord, in which the wire was twitched by a small tongue of crow-quill, attnohed to an apparatus called a jock, moved by a key. At length, in an auspicious mo ment for the interests of mush', the idea arose that by causing tho key to ~t, Ike the string, instead of pulling it, the tone might bo improved, and an in strument of enlarged capabilities produced. This contrivance opened an entirely new field to the player, by giving him the power of expression in addition to that of execution; as by varying the touch, a greater or less degree of force could be given to the blow on tho string—whereby the ef fects of piano and forte might be produced at pleasure. What the piano has become under the touch of Arperioan ingenuity, everybody knows. Once the pride of Kings and nobles only, its tones may now he beard in every village and upon every prairie. Perfect ns It now seems to be, its im provement seems to bo the study of many minds. Patents are continually taken out for some addi tion to its machinery, and its production is regu larly cheapened from year to year, until in the end it will be found the humanising companion of every Ametican fireside. PATTERNS FOR CASTINGS.—It is known to all workers in oast iron that there is a sensible shrinkage of the metal in cooling. It is, there fore, necessary to make the patterns in some de gree larger than the intended castings, as the shrinkage atnoants to abo'tt ent2 per eont. This allowance is very malty and correctly managed by the employment of a contraction rule, which i s ma d e like a surveyor's' rod, tut nn eighth of an in:h longer in every foot than ordinary standard measures When a wood pattern is made from which an iron pattern is to be east, the latter being intended as a permanent foundry pattern, as there era two shrinkages to allow for, a double contrac tion rule is employed, or one whose length is a quarter of an snob in excess of every foot. In calculating weights it is evident that the weight of a casting stands in the same proportion to the weight of its pattern as the specific gravity of the former to that of the latter, allowing, at the same time, for the shrinking or contrasting in cooling The average specific gravity of pine -wood patterns is 999, oak 780,, beech .721, pear-tree .699, ma ' hogany 600, brass 8.800, sine 7 000, lead 11.000, east iron 7 250. PLASTIC COUPCIENDs.—A great number of useful plastic compounds have boon invented by chemists within a few years. A resent ono is said to possess some properties of peculiar value, and is formed by mixing five parts of sifted whiting with a solution of one part of glue. 'When the whiting is worked up into a paste with the glue, a proportionate quantity of venitian turpentine is added to it, which prevent. ell brittleness. To remit its 44. hating to disbands while wotking, small quantity of linseed oil is added from time to time. The mass may be colored by kneading any • desired color. It is then premed into any variety of shapes, and - may be need for produoing dlegant and very cheap bas reliefs,or be worked by band into models, keeping the mass warm during the process. It cools and, dries in a few hours, and very soon becomes almost as bard as stone. Letters from a Traveller.--No. 0. [Oorreppondenee of The Pram] NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 30, 1858 Mr DSAR Pease: Yesterday was wholly taken up, from an early hour in the morning till evening, with the exercises of commencement proper, At eight o'clock the familiar sound of the whose sharp ringing tone has fallen upon the ears of so many imoceasive classes and generations' of students, relentlessly summoning 'them ' to early morniag-prayers, gave the signal for the forming of the procession. The sky had been overcast for some time, and a pouring rain which commenced to fall just at the hour for assembling, prevented many from joining in the procession.. The under graduates led off, followed by the students of the several professional schools, and the' dePartinent of philosophy and the arts; the graduates (same next in the order of their classed, preceded by the president, and corps of professore and lustily:dors. In the ancient days of the college, when the man ners of the age were of a stiff and formal cha racter, the officers of the college and the se nior class, all wore the academia gown which lent a dignity to their appearance. For years, however, all trace of this fitting and appropriate costume had disappeared, and the ungraoeful, un scholastio dress coat, in all the varied modifica tions of ugliness which changing fashion had in vented, was the orthodox garment for full dress among the collegian, of every degree. Upon the I accession of President Woolsey, he had the good taste to adopt for himself, upon all public occa sions, a full academie dress of the student and re cognised pattern. Would that its use might be more generally adopted. At least, the speakers at commencement ought to appear in the acade. robs gown. Its nee as a conetantartkile of dross would not be expedient for many reasons; but it would certainly add to the ease and , grace of the oollege speakers on public' occasions, The procession having been formed, moved off around the college square, and across the green, and entered- the centre allure), which te always used on these occasions, as being the largest build log in Nevi Raven adapted to the purpose. As it is, it hardly affords comfortable accommodation for the crowds who desire to attend. The most admi rable arrangements aro made for the comfort and convenience of all who can gain admission, so far as is possible with the limited space. The speak ers' platform extends all the way across the church, Upon this platform in the centre the Pre sident and Faculty of the college, with distin guished strangers and professors of other colleges, find seats ; while beneath each gallery the plat form is occupied by the near female relatives of the graduating class. The galleries are appropri ated exclusively to ladles, and densely packed, as they always aro, present an unbroken array of bright faces and beaming eyes. The, only break is in the front gallery, whence the hirsute 1/llllll clans discourse, at intervals, selected pieces °frau -Rio to relieve the tedium of' the exercises. The pews in the body of the church, on both aides the centre aisle, are reserved for the graduates. One of the side aisles is appropriated to the undergraduates, and the other t ) the citizens of the town. No la dies are admitted upon the floor of the church ; no one is permitted to stand in the aisles, or to rise in his seat. The "greatest good of the greatest number" is the object sought to be attained by these regulations; and the individual selfishness and disregard of the feelings, and comfort,, and pleasure of others, which is so apt to manifest it self upon such occasions, is restrained by the wisest *visions which the experience of many years has been able to suggest. The ladies are ad mitted to the church by tickets, but there is no difficulty generally in a stranger's securing admix. lion. The great annoyance and discomfort which ladies who are strangers caperience arises from the very unbecoming and unladylike behavior of certain female residents of New-Raven, who; with no special Merest in commencement, attend the exercises, to see and be seen, and who, in their eager desire to obtain the front seats, besiege the doors of the church long before the hour of opening, and push and crowd in a manner such as the wildest set of undergraduates that I ever bad any knowledge of would feel disgraced by. Of all crowds, a crowd of women is the most mer ciless. I shall not dwell on the orations and disserta tions, and poems and learned discourses, w hieh followed eaob other in rapid erreeession, inter spersed with mingle by the band. About half•past twelve the morning exercises were concluded, and the aluinni proceeded to their ball to partake of the dinner which is always provided by the col lege on these occasions. Of course it would be impossible to serve up a splendid entertainment for so large a number. The dinner is soaxcely more than a cold collation. Everything is in abun dance, but the strictest temperance principles prevail; the only beverages are cold water and lemonade, according to an authorized standard which It is never under any circumstances allowed to exceed in strength; indeed, it generally falls below. No toasts are given, no songs sung, and no after-dinner speeches made. The sole object is to keep the alumni together the whole day, anti that they may have abundant opportunity for more familiar anti social intercourse. The clouds which had furnished such abundant rain in the morning were now all cleared away; anti the sun shone down in all his brilliancy upon the procession as it reformed at half-past two to proceed to the church for the afternoon exercises. Those were of the same character as those in the morning, winding up, however, with the Valedictory Ad dress and the conferring of degrees. The degree of A. B. was conferred on the members of the graduating Mats, 99 in number; of A. M. in course upon 43 members of the class of 1855, and some three or four of earlier classes; of Bachelor of Philosophy upon 12 graduates of the Depart ment of Philosophy and the Arts ; of LL. B. upon 5 graduates of the Law School ; and of M. D. upon 8 graduates of the Medical School. For some reason the professional departments of Yale College seem to be at a lower ebb than for many years past. A number of honorary degrees were conferred; among others, that of A. M. on Hon. Peter Park er, late of China, Dr. F. Halsey of Philadelphia, and Chas M. Whately, Big., of Pheenixville, Pa.; and of LL D. on Marshall B. Bidwell, Esq., of Cleveland, Ohio, Wm. F. Stearns, Esq., Professor of few in the University of Mississippi, and Hon. Lyman Trumbull, U. B. Senator from Illinois. Of the twelve Pennsylvanians whose names I no ticed in the graduating class, eight had parts at commencement. The parte are assigned solely with reference to the standard of scholarship as ascertained from the regular record kept through out the college course. Mr. Montelies Abbott, the only Philadelphian in the class, stood highest upon the list among the Pennsylvanians; and his ora tion upon "The Trobadours" was a carefully fin ished production, delivered with much ease and effect. Mr. Isaac Riley, of Montrose, Pa., deliv ered a Poem, entitled "A Vision of the World," and displayed much ability and depth of feeling in his treatment of a somewhat difficult subject for so limited a space as ho was necessarily restricted to. The exeroises were through by six o'olock, so many of those to whom parts had been assigned having been excused from speaking, that a much less portion of the day than usual was taken up. In the evening President Wooleoy held his custo mary levee at his house, to which all the gradu ates, with their friends, and distinguished stran gers, were invited. The rooms of his spacious man sion were crowded, and his many guests were com ing and going in a continuous stream till a Into hour. The annual gatherings of the two se cret societies of the senior class, the Scroll and Rey, and the Skull and Bones, kept their members up to an early hour this morning, and with these the festivities of commencement week were brought to a close ; and to-day the crowds are hur rying off in all directions, and New Haven will be almost deserted till the opening of a new term in September. Some remarks on incidental matters and I must close this letter ; and then hasten on my journey. On Monday and Tuesday the examinations were held of the candidates for admission. The stand , and is much higher than it was ten years ago, and the examination more strict and thorough. About fifty were admitted to join the Wags of 1852, and as many more at least will be examined prior to the commencement at the next term. Quite a number were rejected as not qualified, or con ditioned in one or more branches upon which they rovired further study to perfect themselves. An erroneous idea, prevails with many that college life exposes a young man to extraordinary temp tations. But it le not ptssible to keep young men from a knowledge of the many evils which *striate allure them from the p sth of virtue. It is always a time of hazard when a young man leaves his home to be thrown in a measure upon his own re- I sources, away from the influences which have pre viously restrained him from vice. Most of our colleges, where the students come from other places to make college their home for four years, are so constituted as to throw around the young men a healthful end restraining influence from evil and to exert a powerful influence for their training up ip TIMM The Moron .a 4 Tale ccok TWO CENTS. lege have always been great, and never were they so powerful as at the present time. On Wednes day morning before breakfast a prayer meeting of the students and graduates was held in the Col lege' chapel. Prof. Goodrich stated that it had never been safer for parents to send their eons to Yale College than now. ' It is a gratifying thing to those who have la mented the little attention paid to the physical training of students, to see; that the nobler and more athletic sports are, and have been for seine years bank, receiving- more attention at Yale. Boot-ball, which had long been a time-honored game, is going out of favor. It required more en exertion of brute-force, than any display of skill or wall-trained powers. Boating, which ten years ago was confined to one or two barges and olub -boats, is now in a high state of prosperity. "The Yalb Navy" is regularly organised under the com mand of a commodore and his subordinate fleet officers, and comprises fourteen boats, manned by ,ono hundred and eighty-five men. A most excel lent spirit prevails. and a generous rivalry exists among the various clubs belonging to the " Navy." Annual and occasional regattas are held among the boats of the Navy; and they frequently take part in regattas hold at other places. Two re gattas have taken place between Harvard and „Yale, in both of which the former has been victo rious'. A third was to have come off last week at Springfield, Mass., but the melancholy death of youtig Dunham, who was drowned owing to the upsetting of hie boat through a collision while the boats were practising, led to the abandonment of the plan. The time will not be long before our American Universities can boast of the physical training of their students with the time-honored institutions of Old England. Letter from Ohio. [Oorroopoodonee of The Preis.] LaWISBURO, PEEBLES COI7NIT, 0 /11 0 , August 3,1858. Your paper—The Press—is always anxiously looked for by its readers in this place, and I as sure you it has done much to advance the doe t ins of popular sovereignty amongst us. Our State Convention will shortly assemble, but what the result will be no one outside of the office holders and the Administration' agents can pos. 'sally conceive; but judging from the delegates, and the manner of their appointment in this county, I fear that thereis some plan on foot to pass resolu tions extolling the Administration for its stand on the Lecompton - Constitution, end smothering the expressed will of the people on the subject. The delegates from this county were appointed by a small 'clique at Eaton, (the county seat,) without giving any notice to the diffdrent townships of a meeting being held for the purpose of selecting delegates. One of the delegates was,a .violent op• portent of the Nebraska bit! when,it passed Con gress, as well as a member of tie dark lantern order when it made its Bret appearance in this State. Another is a gentleman eelebrated'for hie bolting proclivities whenever his ipse dioit is not the law in our Democratic) County Conventions, and two years ago did much to injure the election of Vallandigham, because his Claims were over looked -for Congress, and Vall nominated. Last year he came into our Convention, and threatened us with defeat because out two out of sixty dele gates thought proper to vote for him as the Demo °retie candidate for the State Senate. The third delegate is the editor of the Preble County Demo crat, who ham done much to manufacture public opinion in favor of the English swindle. It is generally believed that Campbell and Val landigham will be again the candidates for Con grese:in the Third district; but what the remit will be time alone - can determine, as I believe there are many anti•Lecompton Democrats who will not go to the polls this fall.

[From the Kanawha (Va ) Republican.] To the People of -Virginia FELLOw•Qtrisans: The Hon. John Letaher has lately come before you with a letter concerning my address on slavery, published in 1847, at the re quest of himself, and ten other gentlemen of Lex ington, Va.' In this letter ho charges me with. having committed a fraud on him and his ten as sociates, in the publication of that address. The allegation vaguely intimates that I foisted in ex ceptionable things. This is a serious charge, and to me entirely new; for never before, during the ten years and nine months eine° the address was published, did I hear of any such charge having been made by any one, either publicly or pri vately. Since great ignorance and misconception seem to exist respecting the origin and history of that ad dress, I will give a Olin statement of facts. As few persons have copies of the pamphlet, I shall have to say something also of its contents. In the spring or summer of 1847 I was informed that a debate on slavery had arisen in the Frank lin Society of Lexington, Va., and I was request ed to attend, as the debate was expected to be long and interesting. This society embraced most of the professional and literary gentlemen of the town, besides other intelligent citizens, and 'met weekly to debate questions. I was an honorary member, but did not regularly attend the meet ings. The debate on slavery was continued from week fo week for a considerable time. When I attended, I found the question to be, not whether alavory was right or wrong, bnt whether or not it was injurious to the public pros• parity. , Mr. Latoher and others took the anti slavery aide, whilst some able debaters, &Itch as Mr. (now Judge) Brookonbrongh and Col. Smith, of the V. M. Institute, were on the pro-slavery side. No one, so far as I remember, took the Abolition ist ground that slaveholding is a sin, and ought, for ' that reason, to be abolished. With us it was merely a question of expediency, and was argued with special reference to the interests of Weetern Virginia. /joined the anti-slavery side, and, after a while, having collected some statistical facts, I made the speech which led to the publication of the address. I was soon afterward requested by some of our party to prepare my argument for publication, as it was thought by them to be unanswerable, and, I was told, had converted several members of the society. I hesitated at first, and either refused or I postponed compliance with the request, not wish ing to appear before the public as a partisan on this question whilst I occupied the presidential chair of Washington College, though I knew that my broken health would compel me to an early resignation. But, as the debate proceeded, we all became so heisted under the hammer of argument, pro and ' con, that we were ready for an attempt to carry car views into effect. I commenced writing eut the whole argument on our side, and when about the time the debate 'closed, and we had a decided majority of votes in the society, I was again spoken to, I consented to prepare for publica tion, not my speech merely, but whatever else might contribute to the success of our scheme for the gradual removal of slavery from West Virginia. But I required two conditions-Ist, that those who desired the publication of the argument should present their requests in writing, in terms con formable to the plan of publication which I sug gested; and Id, that all should contribute to the cost of printing. I was willing to come out, not as an individual, but only as the organ of a respect able party, and such I thought we ware, though at the outset few in number. The anti-slavery feeling that had been prevalent in West Virginia seemed to need only such an impulse as we would give it, to recover Its former strength. Mr. /etcher and ton other gentlemen readily complied with my conditions, and addressed me the letter which was printed in the foreground of the pamphlet. In this letter the eleven gentle men said expressly that they did not expect me to furnish my speech just as it was delivered, nor did they wish me to " confine myself strictly to the views then expressed." On the contrary, they desired to have " the whole argument In favor of the proposition presentei to the public in a per spicuous and condensed form." Thus they left it discretionary with me to add to the matter of my speech whatever I thought proper to give com pleteness and force to the argument "in favor of removing the negro population from West Vir ginia," as they expressed it. The whole contents of the pamphlet were written conformably to the desire expressed in this letter. My colleagues added in their letter, that the views expressed in my speech, were " in a shape which could not give just cause of offence to even those who wore most fastidious and excitable on the subject of slavery." This could mean only that my views were not of the att•ditionest shape. The address presented the same views as the speech, and in the same argumentative shape. I tpalutnined the moral right of slaveholding, and assailed the abolitionists as a morally insane, ma lignant, meddlesome and mischievous seat, with whom we would have nothing to do. Bat I argued strenuously, as we all did in the society, that slavery, in its effects upon the country, was a " pernicious institution." When the address was circulated, by mail and otherwise, through West Virginia, wd ma per ceived that most of the editors and politicians of the valley would not embark with us in an enter prise of dlubtful success. They objected to our movement as timed, while Northern abollHonisai was rtorieg. tVithout their concurrence we Must fail. West of the Allegheny the pamphlet was bettor r,eeived; in East Virginia some papers de- B ounced it Ile abolitioniet. I it is true. as Mr. Lateher says, that my col ! leagues did not contribute to the cost of the publi eition. When the printer's bill come in, and I privately spoke to ono or two of them about it, I found that for some reason there was a disincline ( tion to contribute. Therefore, I paid the printer's bill myself. As several of them aided me in the distribution of the pamphlet, and I never heard till now the charge of fraud in the publication, which I know to be false, 1 imagined any reason but that, and muds no inquiry on the subject. None dour party ever, to my knowledge, object ed to the contents of the address. Now, es Mr. Letoher's charge is vague, I call upon him to spe cify what " exceptionable things'l foisted into the address. My sole object is self-defence. I accuse no one. Let him specify; then, having a definite issue, I will try conclusions with him. HANBY Roman. ' 4stlawbs Salines, July IA 10E1.

Arrival of the Zonave De Riviere—Great Excitement—The Chevalier in Limbo. (From the Parannah (Ga.) Republican of the sth ) The steamship Huntsville, from New York, came up to the eity a few minutes past four o'olook P. M. piste:l.day, and the tiring of her gun was the signal for an immediate congregation of a large crowd on the wharf, all intent upon getting a eight of the famous gallant, De Riviero, who was re ported to be on board and in pursuit of his inamo rata, Min Blount. The ship was some time tat. tling down into her berth, and It was not a little emoting to witness the evidences of curiosity that manifested themselves in the anxious crowd. The air was excessively hot and olose under the bluff, bat thiAtrifiing Inconvenience seemed net to Im pair, in the slightest degree, the interest of the assembled multitude in the hero of the occasion and certain events that awaited him. The steamer having neared the wharf, Sheriff Prendergast was the fast to go aboard, followed by' certain suspicions-looking gentry looking for all the world as if they were charged with some of the delicate offices of the law. Upon consulting the list of passengers, the name of De Rivitre did not appear, but the captain politely informed the sheriff that ono Lewts David corresponded in every particular with the gentleman who was the object of his searoh. This Mr.l)avid being pointed out, the sheriff gently took him aside, addressed him by his proper name, which be acknowledged, and informed him that he was his prisoner by virtue of two warrants issued at the instance of Colonel F. S. Blount, one to keep the peace to wards the said Blount, and the other for the abs duotion of the daughter of the informant from the Stato of Alabama, with the intention of defile. milt. The law of 'Alabama makes this °trews punishable by confinement in the penitentiary, and Colonel Blount, we learn, can clearly make good the charge by proofs, now in his possession, that our gallant Lothario was, at the date of the abduction, married to a lady in the State of Now York. The Zouave took the awkward circumstances that bad so suddenly come upon him with much coolness and composure. Re acknowledged the authority of the sheriff-and expressed entire wil lingness to do his bidding. 'The stage having beeA run aboard and secured to the steamer, an im. mesas crowd immediately thronged the cabin bf the vessel, until the air was almost suffocating. The Zouave was quietly seated in the aft part of the saloon by the side of the sheriff, and earnestly engaged in conversation with a gentleman familiar with hienative language- lie is, upon the whole, a fino•lookiog wan, some six feet in height, well proportioned (so far as we could judge while he was i s , a s itt i ng posture), dark hair apd eyes, while his general aspect is more German than French. A patch of court plaster on his right eheek marked the wound recently received in a duel at Mobile, which is well nigh healed. lie it evidently a travelled man, and has learned to brave the up-hill points in the journey of life, and to look with the eye of a philosopher upon every fate. Matters having become somewhat quiet on the dock, Sheriff Prendergast came ashore with his prisoner,kwhen both entered a buggy and drove down the bluff. This movement revived the 710080- tiun, and tbe crowd rushed down the bay, halting at every block to be prepared fora eight when tha party should drive up into the city. The buggy eventually emerged from below. and was followed, by the multitude to Justice Connell's office, at the corner of Ball and Bryan streets, where a full bench of justices, composed cf Messrs. Coutiell, Staley, and Russell. were convened for a p!ehmi nary examination of the matters charged in the warrants. lilesars. Bacon and Levy appeared for the State, and Joseph Ganahl, Esq., for the prisoner. Some discussion occurred on .the point of jurisdiction, but, it being late, the further consideration of the case was postponed until to-day. In the mean time Captain De Riviera was committed to jail. The next sitting of the magistrates will be held at the court hostile, and we learn it is the intention of Captain Be Riviere'se counsel to place Mrs. Blount and her daughter upon the stand. The scene will doubtless be rich and command a full house. It is said that these ladies continue to be the roughly identified in feeling with the accused, and maintain that the legal pr. est:dings against him are an outrage upon right and Justin. Mrs. B. has offered to defray all the expenses of the de fence. Upon the whole, it is a curious case, but perhaps we may get at the merits of it in the 011184 of the testimony.
