NEWARK, DEL, March so, 81.
Tie exhibition of the Junior class Of Della
ware College came of in fine style on Tuesday
evening. The Hall was not so crowded as |
have seen it on former occasions, owing doubt
less to the very cold weather, but the increase
in comfort made up for tie loss of variety.
The speeches were very crcditablc to the stu
dents. The best speech delivered during the
evening was probably that Of young Turner
of Delaware: subject Trials and Triumphs. :"
Among the plcasantries of tie evening was
the Bur'csque upon the exhibition styled ''Ju-
nioru;n Asnorum. a number of copies Of
which were distributed among the audience.
The Trustees elected Prof kirkwood Prcs;-
dent, to fill the vacancy occasioncd by the
death Of the lalncnted Graham. The election
is Il very popular one both among the students
and the community, and doubt not will be
for the ultimate sucCesS of the Institution.

Mn CARROLL SrEScE-Thc appointment
OF this gentleman as Minister to Constantine.
p'eat the critical juncturc he was sent there
must have surprised every Marylandcr who
knew him. Mr.. Spence is well enough as a
lawyer in small way but totally unqualified
in every respect, for such position, even in
ordinary tines. No one is surprised there
fore that upon being presented to the Sultan.
he should make gross diplomatic Llundcr,
which is now the theme of general comment
and general condemnation in the papers. In
the Baltimore Times we find the following
remarks:
The remarkable speech Of Mr.. Spence, our
Minister to Cons;antinople, has taken tho
Cabinet and President by surprise, and will
lead no doubt to Il C Minister'S recall. The
studied Siltn g of the Union, and the known
dsplcasure Of the President, are too signit-
cant to he overlooked members of the
Senate also regard his declarations in regard
to the course Of this Government in the East
tern question as entirely gratuitous.-Mr.
Spence has, in fact. committed the admins
tration the Senate and the people to line Of
policy which, unless, at once abandoned by
the prompt action Of the Executive, destroys
Gu neutrality and involves us in the intrica-
cics and dangers Of the Eastern question"
