THE TWENTY SECOND IN WILLIAMS
BURG-COLLEGE CELEBRATION.
The usual exercises took place In the College
Chapel. on Tuesday, the 22d inst. The hall was
we'll filed Notwithstanding the unfavourable APP
pearauce of the weather and the bad order of the
streets. The Phiomathian and Phmnix Lite
rary Societies, wearing their'respectiye badges,
having marched in procession into the chapel, the
exercises opened with eloquent and fer
vent prayer by Bishop Johns, the President of
the College. M. Dulaney Ball, of Washington
city after some appropriate remarks, proceeded
to read Washington's Farewell Address. The
masterly performance of the duties assigned to
him, added to his youthful appearance, contribu-
ted greatly to the OCCASION. He succeeded
by the representative of the Phlamathan Socie-
ty, Henry A. Wise. jr., of Accomac, who ad-
dressed the audience on "Fixed Principles of
Action His happy tribute to the memory of
Washington, together with the clear aud ee
CANT dction, and graceful delivery of his whole
address. made powerful impression on all pre-
sent. In comparing the policies of England and
France, he showed extensive knowledge of
the subject, as we'll as the graces Of the accom-
plished scholar and orator.
The next speaker was John b. Donovan of
Gloucester county, the representative of the Phe-
nix society His able and eloquent address upon
1.-The Claims of our Country upon its Young
Men, confers credit on tho society he represen-
ted, as we'll as the author. Not only did it dis
play correct and chaste imagination and re-
fined taste, but admirably adapted to the &C.
casion. His description of the rise and downfall
of Greece, was striking and beautiful. The
whole was illustrated by the most striking Incl
dents of history, aud must have produced pow
eru effect on his youthful associates. He was
frequently Interrupted during its delivery by
deatenng peals of applause. Much more might
be said, but deem it useless, MS all the addresses
will doubtless be published. All the proceedings
showed that old William and Mary is destined
again to ad forth young men, not less worthy
thnn her lustrious alumni.
Everything passed off in the most harmonious
manner, aud it seems that the two societies, SO
far from creating animosties, is calculated to ex
cite emulation amoGg the students, and promote
their welfare.

Congress from Massachusetts, estimates that the
damages which our fishermen sustained the last
summer from the interruption of their business by
the British fleet s~nt among them, were not less
than a quarter Of a million Of dollars, Mr.. Sa-
bine estimates that the pay received by our fish
ermen. notwithstanding the extraordinary haz-
ards and hardships they undergo, does not amount
to over eighteen dollars mon tn, gross earnings
to man. This fact is of itself sufficient to account
for the great diminution in the quantity of fish
caught by New England fishermen during the lust
few seasons as compared with previous years.
