Hon. Ben. EDwARDs GREY.-We are authorized
to announce that Hon. B. Edwards Grey is a can
didate for reelection to Congress from the second
district, la making this announcement it affords
US much pleasure to bear testimony to the zeal and

MIR. MARSHALL and DIR. Odds.


ing for full reports Of the speeches of these dis
tinguished gentlemen delivered in the House
| Of Representatives ON Thursday We were
disappointed to find that they had been deferred
4 to more convenient season. 1T is to be re-
GREETED that the world has been thus even
temporarily deprived of effusions SO we'll cal
culated to interest and illuminate. The nature
of Mr.. MARsHALL's experiences has been such,
no doubt, as to qualify him to pronounce ee ca
hedra on the foreign policy ofthe Administration;
and his claims upon public consideration will give
great weight to his resolution for placing five,
ten, or an indefinite number of millions Of dol
lars in the hands of the next Administration, to
be used or not used at its discretion We have
no doubt that Congress will do just as Mr..
MARSHALL desires in this respect; he is so
reasonable and we'll balanced in all his specu-
lations, and inspires such serene confidence in
all parties in his perfect judgment and entire
good sense. 81 Is 84-t2ADg azo6
AS for DR.. OLDs, we cannot imagine why
he should have deferred the publication of his
invective against Mr.. CoRwIN 1t was all
read from manuscript, and that manuscript
as we understand, was prepared months ago
in OHIo, after the Doctor was. reelected by
some paltry majorityin district in which his
party is some two thousand strong. This
DIR. OLDs is the man who introduced the first
resolution assailing Mr.. CoRwIN. The Demo-
cratic committee appointed to investigate the
charge against the SECRETARY in connexion.
with the Gardiner claim, relieved him from all
imputations of improperly, and this creature
OLDs repeats all his vile charges with as much
impotence as if they had not been set at rest BY
the decision of tribunal of hisown creation.
Well, it is fortunate that nature has set its mark
upon some men; and we are told that no one who
has ever seen the Doctor would trouble him
self In any manner about any charges that,
should originate from such quarter. There
is good deal in physiognomy. You seldom
find man who looks as if he would adorn
gallows, and whose looks belle him. The OBJ
servation is merely illustrative; In no respect
personal.
We must be pardoned for saying, that in our
judgment both Mr.. MARSHALL and Dr. Obs,
! have much misused the public time in making
speeches apropos to no business before the
House. They should remember that the pub
lie business, in justice to their constituents, re-
quires some attention at their hands, and that
if all the members of the House, who have the
same right as themselves, should employ the
public time as they have done, no business
would be transacted, and the whole session
would be wasted between charlatan speculation
and venomOus abuse - aal 40

The exercise, Of the lorty-ninth annivcr-
s;ry Of the University of Vermont closed
Yesterday. They commenced properly ON
Sunday afternoon, with the Baccalaurcatc
sermon, delivered by President Smith, to IL
crowded and attentive congregation. The
closing address to the graduating class was
exceedingly impressive, deriving an additional
interest from the fact, that this is the first
class which has been under the eve and charge
of the President through the whole course of
four years.
On Monday evening, Prof. Barrows, of
Andoycr Theological Seminary, addressed the
Society for Religious Inquiry. His discourse
on " The Unity and Harmony of Truth, - was
IL fine one but owing to the rain, the audience
icii short in numbers, Of what is usually col
lcctcd ON the occasion.
Tuesday afternoon was occupied with the
celebration of the Literary Societies

Wheeler. d. d. of Burlington, and poem by
Alfred b. Street, of Albany, \. Y. Dr.
Wheclcr's discourse was ON Eloquencc as a
fine art. 1t ahounded in passages of beauty
and interest, and commanded the unlagging
attention of the assembly. The subject of
Mr.. Streets poem was Our country as field
for the poet. Its varied climcs and scenes
its legendary history as found among its alb
original inhabitants the deeds of hcroism
which its earlier and later civilized history
have recorded were illustrated by correspond
ing sketches 1t was rather long for an
exercise of that sort but was listened to
with interest.
The music ofth occasion and of next day,
was furnished by Bonds Cornct Band, of
Boston, and was pronounced uncommonly
good 10y all. In the evening, the Junior EA-
hibition took place.
We were unable to be present, but are told
that the young gentlemen did themselves un-
usual credit.
Wednesday, Commencement Day, was IA
vorcd, according to ancient custom, with

and cooled the air, and none could ask for IL
more comfortable day for such gathering,

SIR There is necessity formaking some decided

themselves, whether they would wish To be found
great and successful competitors for the details of
the Western Canada trade, and that of the Upper
Lakes, via Lake Champan, and whether by Canal
Lines or by Railroads, from New York
Hitherto several canal line, have been limited
to the exclusive trade of Canada East. There is no
reason why these interests should not extend, and
he made as profitable to companies they are to in
dydual or to local influences There has been
enough western business passing the route north,
to the west of Oglcn>burgh, from New York, to de-

business over their several lines of Boats We lean
to the opinion that it would There may have been
reasons connected with all these lines, why none
of them had determined to make their arrangements

make our northern canal interests a competing in
fucnce with more western routes. The northern
is decidedly the quickest route for the delivery
of goods from New York, to the West, when ship
