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. • AMBLING OAP SPRINCIS.—Ono of the visitors at our beautiful Cumberland mountain retreat, the Doubling Gap Springs, writes the subjoined glowing letter to tho Philadelphia Bulletin, upon the numberless beauties of t-cenery, and other matters which there delight the eye and sense, awl enable one to enjoy comfortably this sweltering weather. DOUBLING GAP SPRINGS, July, 1855. Me. Burron :—:-This letter is indited among tbo mountains, with a serene and settled maj esty of nature surrounding me, which dilates the heart, elevates the spirits, and fills the mind with cheering and enobling thoughts.— After an unusualsevered protracted winter, it requires no poet's pen to spribe thefeelings experienced on again revisiting the country.— Here Summer decks her fields with nil tapest ry, and the choristers every grove chant car ols ' • mirth revisits us, and everything is bright and jovial. It, is with a keen and appreciating sense of pleasure that I find myself again at the Doubling'clap SpringS.

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 Lonsi ana Know Nothings have nominated Charles lierbigncy as their party candidate for Gov ernor of that Commonwealth. A territorial 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 panies. The cause of these proceedings is some alleged insubordination on the Fourth of July. The.

July 14 Four s Days Later from Europe ARRIVAL OF THE DEATH OF LORD RAGLAN Spec('lk of the,,Enaperor of France. The steamship Arago, from Southampton, arrived at Now York Monday afternoon, about 2 o'clock The Ara; brines the ann uneement of the ath m*L md Raglan. The melancholy news was received by Lord Panmure from General S , topsoil' on the afternoon of the 30th-ultimo. 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 found grief. It is stated that Major General Simpson had suceeded Lord Raglan pro tem. Pelissier min , uncesthe death or Raglan in the following despatch to the Minister of War: "It is with profound regret I have to an nounce to you that the venerable chief of the English army breathed his last sigh this even ing., nt lI P M. We are the more grie‘ol, as• his condition f m the last twenty lour hutite,„ , ;., was much improved." NO. 46. The Times correspondent. writing from tie it Jtie. smtes that on the list ult , thc rAI, new frigate, while employed recon noitering the fortifications at Saeaborg, tßci.- I,ntal:y mistook the channel, and in m.nse— quence foundered. The boats were inunedi ,tely despatche I in nll directions to sound, 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 ing two others. The C iptain of the AMphion, 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 Legislative Corps, His Majesty said "that the lonferences lately held at Vienna havinglfaili d secure the return of pence, he came before hem to make a new appeal to their pattiot (4 n.

Let all, putting their eoufidence in God;.persevere; and they would arrive at a pence Worthy the alliance t two great nations. Letters from St. Petersburg state that the condition of Russia is most menacing to her rulers. The Peasants, ground to the earth by despotism, and thinned in numbers by con scription, and the nobles themselves do not attempt to conceal the scorn entertained to wards the present Emperor, for what they term his vacillating and pusilanimous conduct. %Viide on the other hand, his brother is exalt ed to the skies as a hero, and the only indi vidual worthy to sway the destinies of the Empire. A revolution is spoken of as not be ing at all improbable, with the object of driv ing Alexander II from the throne, and of placing there his brother, the Archduke Con stantine. Liverpool, July 2.—The market for bread stuffs olened quiet to•tlay. Holders of Indian Corn failed to obtain Friday's rates to-day, and sales were made at a tie'cline of fully 28 per. quarter.
