speculations of the .-Xdrninistratioii or Van Btiren
party on this question, the Ulm!.‘.T they can
make out in the H‘tllSB of Ilcprcsezitatixcs. is a
majority of six. Iutliis calculatiori they include |
seven from Georgia, two froin South Car-iliua,l
and one from Louisiuiia. Tlictwo from Sui-th
Carolina are Mr. Lt‘;!2tlt.’. at (Jlizirli:sto:i. elected
in the placerof Mr. Pincktiey, and Mr. R'igs:rs.
elected in the place of the late Ill r. Blair. It is
stated that Mr. Lcgarc, thotigli an origirial
Jackson man, was not siipportt.-tl us a Var. Buren
man. and may be consitlcrcil as one of tliose
who do not atlltcre to the S'ilitI‘(.‘ll'!(‘if.‘_y' of the
Kitchen Cabitiet, nor the ultra iloctrirics of the
day. Mr. Rogers is anti-nullilicr. (zit.-cording to
the divisions in South Carolina.) but not a Van
Buren man. In Georgia it is coiilitlcntly be-
lieved that not more than four, iiisteaal of seven,
will be found to carry ottt the “great tut-asttres"
which have broriglit. the t.Il‘t"SClll calariiitii-s upon
the country; and in Louisiaria, Gen. Ripley,
the present adininistratioi: inctnber, is in sucli
feeble health as to render his ultt‘tl(I€lt)t'C in (‘on-
gress impossible. Tints the defection in these
three states, if there is tione among the ‘.Vliig.<,
will change tne scale. according in the best
calculations of the “pcrisli credit” and *‘ better
currency” party. In tliecalculationrcferi-cil to,
however, Rhodc Islard and Jlicliigtin are not
included. Asia the latter state it will probably
go for the administration, Rliode lsland holds an
immense weight it: the balance of power. The
election in that state takes place on the 229th lust.
and the \Vhigs have the best reason to hope for
success. and many rely with corifiilcnce on the
election of the \Vhig rt:-.prescn'.:itives. In this
case, the question may be (‘t)li:l-‘.lt3l‘CCI as con-
clusively settled, for independently of the facts
stated, there can be little iloubt that several
members from New York, Peniisylvania and
Virginia, will throw of the party collar, and
take an independent and honorable stand for the
protection of the Country against the spoz'lci's.
The first great qtiestion in the lion.-sc will be on
the election of Speaker. In the last Congress
Mr. Polk, (ailtn.) was elected ovct’ M r. Belt, by
a very trifling majority, some twelve or fifteen
of his own party declining to vote for him. It
may therefore be calculated that some of these
will adhere to their first impressions, and as the
same gentlemen will probably be presented as a
candidate for the chair. we agree with the editor
of the U. S. Gazette, who gives. it as his “ dc-
cided opinion that Mr. Polk cannot be elected
Speaker, nor Blair (the Globe) come within
twenty votes of being printer.” Notwithstari«.l-
ing the majority in the Senate, in the present
aspect of things. we cannot but hope that our
political redemption drawetb uigli.”—-New I:Iu-

On VVednesday afternoon a man named Dar:-3

ed at Boston, the latter having paid the passage
of both from Ireland. A few weeks afterwards;
Kcarnsey bccanie sick, and eventually, fearingi
he should not recover, entrusted 150 sovereigns ,
and his trunk to the care of Kelly. But the l
uugracious rascal, thinking it a good opportuni-
ty to make his fortune, decamped with the whole,
leaving his friend entirely destitute. Iuf‘orrna-
tion being sent to the police office, he was traced
to this city, and yesterday officer \_iVclch ar-,
rested him, on the point of cmbarking in the
packet for Europe. Most ofthe money, and the
trunk were recovered. He had paid his own
passage, and also that ofa companion, to Liver-
ool. Of course the ship agent will be required
to refund the money. Kelly was quite thunder-
struck at his capture. Had the officer been a
few hours later, the villain would have escaped.
He was cotnrnittcil for trial.--N. Y. paper.

YALE COLLEGE.
The full.»wirig communication rcarzbed us
too late for orig last paper. \Vant of space now
obliges us to defer the list of exercises and gradu-
ates.
The commencement atYale College, of which
you requested me to give a brief account, has
been highly interesting and creditable to the insti-
tution.
On Tuesday at I‘2o‘clock, 'auoraticn was de-
livercd before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, by
the Rev. Horace Bushnell of Hartford. His
stibji.-ct was, “the means of greatnessin States ;”
and his principal object was to show, tliatjici'-
sons and not 1)r0pci'l_1/ constitute the true wealzli
ofa state; that the great error ofinodcrn times
consists in reducing the priuciplesofgovernment
personal excellence, bodilv and mental, is the
governed. His thoughts on this subject wcre,in
many cases, striking and original, conveyed in
vigorous language, and enriched occasionally
with imagery of uncommon‘ force and beauty.
As a specimen ofingeuions dirquisition and trian-
ly eloquence, it has rarely been surpassed on oc-
casions oftbis nature.
The exercises ofthe Tlicological Institution
occupied the afternoon and evening ofthe same
day. They were not numerous consisting of
only fifteen pieces. but were generally well
written. and indicated careful research and run-
ture thought.
The performances of the graduating class. on
commencement day, have been received with
high approbation by a very crowded and alteri-
tive audicnce. They were more numerous and
varied in their character than on any former
occasion, and were sustained tlirottgliout with
great spirit and animation. Ninety-eight re-
ceived the degree of A. B. ; and thirty four that
of A. M.iu regular course.
The honorary degree of A. M. was conferred
on Dr. I. Foltz ofthe U. S. Navy, and Mr. E.
Sophocles, of New IJIIIVCII; and on two other
gentlemen whose names I did not learn.

\Ve learn from the last Carlisle Republican, (it
being the only paper in the place that throws
any light on the subject, the others observing 21
dark and “ niysterious silence."’) that a colored
man bv the name ofJohnson, who hasa colored
wife aiid family residing there, was lynched on
the evening of Sunday week, fol‘ lhe alleged
offence of eloping with a young white girl! It
appears from all we can learn, that about two
weeks ago, the young girl, wire was in a delicate
situation, and the negro Johnson. left Carlisle
about the same time. and in such a manner as
to create the belief that they had left the place
together. Johnson returned in a few days, and
it then became known that he had taken her
away, which aroused the just indignation of a
number ofindividuals, who were determined to
wreak their vengeance upon him. Hearing of
this, the negro left town quietly on Sunday eve-
nirig. but was overtaken in a short time by
about three hundred citizens, who slript him
entirely, tarred him all over, and then rolled him
in the dust. Some of the party were for re-
sorting til’ other e,1rli'eiiiz'lics, so incensed were
they at the outrage of the negro; but the inter-
feren;-e of others. and his own supplications for
mercy. induced them to let him go, on condition
that he would leave the place entirely. The
girl has since been taken home by some ofhei
relatives, and it is said that Johnson had been
hired by a white man to convey her away 1--
