A larga sudience was present bearing numerous floral wbutes. The excrciaes were opened with prayer br Dr. Moss, Prerident of the University. Tho fizat oration waa delivered by AllL. JON FREDERICK RIDLOX, of Boston, on Vatican Degrees, Ifa spoke of the controversy initiated by Giadstono's Expostula- tion and the auostions raised by it In regard to the bearing of tho Catholic Church polity on civil governmont. The orator inquired nhother the extent of the prorogative claimed for Papal Infallibility was not popularly misanderstood, 1t was not impossible to imagine how chaotio would have been tho condition of pofitics in the middle ages had not tho Papal power exorted a control over the jarring elomonts. The Catholic bad not one atandard by which to determino his moral attitudo. and this unity gave & consistence and aolidity to the Church orgauization. The Protestant Charch waa filled with diversitien of opinion and woakeniug antagonisma. No Popa ever wonld bo ablo £8.creata a consclonce for his own ends, and mideh'df the foar of sbsotutism on his part was groundlogs, The orator expanded those viowa at longth, and was grocted with ap- plause.

Now we have upwarda of 150 paiuters of note, among whom are Weat, Trumbull, Stuart, Malbane, Washington, Allston,—the * American Titiag," a2 ha is called, the master of all our painters,— Ioman, Cole, aud Huatiogton. Among the sculptars, Pationcs Wright, who wrought skill- fully in wax and ciay, is perbaps the first. In tho early pare of Lhia century, Trumbull predictod that oulpiure would not bo wanted hore for a ceptury.” But now more than fifty have arisen, and amoug them are Iloratio Greeuongh, America'a plonect soulptor {n Ilalv; Hiran Powaors, Story, Ran. dolph Rogers, and Harriet Hdumer, all haviog the geuua aitimpulse, sud somo of them re- ceiving the highost praies of their contemporary wrtlsts throughont tho world.
