4,,MERICAN TELEGRAPH
lTHURsDAY1AFTERNOON, JULY II. Z I,

4 GolUMBIAN lCpILgGE. The EXERCISES at the
commencement of the ConmbiaH College, of
which we yesterday made brief mention, were
equal in interest to, those of any former year,
and the order Of talent and extent of acquire
ment e displayed by the members of the gradiatl
ing class speak volumes in praise of the insti-
triton under whose auspices they have received
the preparation necessary to- enable them to
enter upon the stage of life with q rich promise
Of future usefulness to society, honor to them
selves, and credit to their Alnsg Mater. tThe
Orations pronounced by the graduates were oil
well written and well delivered, and contained
less Of the yapid Ideclamation of the schdolboy
than is usually heard upon such occasions
Where all acquitted themselves SO well, It is
hardly fair to particularize: but we may say,
without disparagement to the other ,orations,
and without pretending to pronounce authori-
tatiyely upon their respective merits, that we
were most pleased with the one entitled I" Popu-l
larity," by William Y Titcomb, of Massachu-
sets; and another by Mr.. U. s. Wiley, Of Vir-
ginia, on g Modern Eloquence." To these two
we are inclined to believe public opinion viii
award the palm of superiority. The former,
besides containing many just ideas, happily
conceived, and expressed in pure and polished
language, was, we think, decidedly the best
delivered. es,.r. .,,,;..i, .,.,.. ,,tgy
The Grafton of Mr.. Wiley evinced powers of
sarcasm and criticism not often possessed by
so young q man, and discovered o mind ac7
customed to appreciate things at their true
value. We would venture the prediction that
tinsel will never be palmed off upon him for
gold; and if some of the pretenders to science
and wisdom of all sorts, with whom our land is
80 copiously favored, had been present, I'VE
think they might have received some little ben
eft, especially if it be true, as some I" knights
of the ferule" assert, that castigation produces
improvement; and we are inclined to think
and that of course without meaning any thing
disrespectful to them-that some of our worthy
clergy, who are given to the practice Of divi
ding their instructive discourses into ten or {
dozen distinct heads, might have received q
useful lesson from the analysis the talented ant
witty young speaker made of such compositions
and the amount of thought he proved that they
embraced. 1t is true that the observations o
the orator were not addressed to the class allu
ded to, nor aimed at any particular class; but a
they are applicable to them as well as to others
we have taken the liberty ourselves of making
| the application. aag s}rgga ..4 tl ls45
Note.--In our account of the commencement
of this Institution yesterday, the name of Mr..
Peyton X. Randolph should have appeared in

MR.. MADIsON's VOICE.


The following was among the last productions
that emanated from Mr. Madison's pen. TWAS
penned not long before his death;
ADVICE TO MY CouNTRY.-As this advice, 1T
ever should see the light will not do so until
am no more, it may be considered as issuing
from the tomb where truth alone can be resPec-
ted and the happiness of men alone consulted
1t will be entitled, therefore, to whatever weight
can be derived from good intentions, and from
experience of one who has served his country
in various stations through a period Of forty
years who espoused in his youth, and adhered
through his life, to the cause ofliberty; and who
has borne part in most of the great transac
tions which will constitute epochs of its destiny
The advice nearest to my heart and deepest il
my conviction is, that the union of the States b'
cherished and perpetuated. Let the open enc
my to it be regarded as Pandora with her DO,
opened, and the dlguised one as the serpen
creeping with his deadly wiles into Paradise.D

Confab of a Reporter with Majesty.

The amusing sketches of French reporters
at the Worlds Fair are just now the topic Of
considerable remark in literary journals
Their viyacity and impudence astonish their
graver brethren of the English press. In a
recent letter by Jules Lecomte, one of the
wittiest of the craft, we find sketch of a
confab with the Queen and Prince Albert,
which is so amusing that we translate it for
the benefit of our readers - Crescent
'One day last week." he says, I went to
the exposition very early in the morning, for
the puepose of examining some machinery
before the arrival of the crowd. l was en-
gagged in a sort of narrow lane, between divers
/ Hydraulic machines, when suddenly the Queen
and the Prince turned the corner. thus
found myself face to face with the royal pair
notebook in hand, taken .t7dgrante delicio, in
the act of observations The Queen spoke il
a low voice to Prince Albert; Hooked at her
without difidence, giving full satisfaction t.
a curiosity poorly contented at the theatre
Suddenly a voice said to me:
Monsieur is French?"
Yes, madam"
Monsieur takes notes?"
Yes, madam"
For some journal, perhaps?"
For the Independence Beige, you Majes
ty"
At this declaration, the Queen and Prince
looking at each other, exchanged no, no
after which her Majesty deigned to say:
We hope that you will be favorable!'-
THE last word was pronounced with an Eng
fish accent, which contrasted strongly wit
the perfectly French articulation of the rest,
The best way to be 5avoraJle is to b
j,sst!' / replied.
The Queen smiled and slightly bowec
Prince Albert raised his hat; and they turf
ed toward the demonstrator Of hydrauli

smiling anxiety.
