Arriving durin the usual reception hour when Mr Buchan: accustomed to receive his friends, quite a num- ber of ladies and gentlemen were present; and the Committee were welcomed in the most bearty manner. Each of the members having been in- troduced to the President, who bad a warm grasp of the hand and a word of kindness for every one, Mr Wright addressed him on bebalf of the Committee, expressing the pleasure they felt in having this opportunity of manifesting their re- pe for his personal character and public ser- ¥v 5 The President replied with his customary promptness, and felie He thanked the Com- mittee for the honor of this visit; he felt it to be & great honor, and the more sensibly on account the ee ees manner in which the Chairman n pamet to — the good feeling of the Commit: After alluding beleay to this territorial question which has occupied so large a share of public attention, the President expressed his most hearty approbation of the prin- ciples which had been proclaimed and the nomi- nations which bad been made by the National Demoeratic Convention A very pleasant informal conversation between the President and the ditferent members of the committee followed; in the course of which Mr. Buchanan’s cordiality and earnestness in the cause impressed every one nt.

Forrasr Exercises at tHe Cotemaian Cot- Luce CoMMENCEMENT—As medals were day awarded to three of the contestants for the Davis Prize Medals, instead of to two only as heretofore, we will state in explanation, that the committee being unable to decide betweeen the claims of Mr. Mason of Va. and Mr. Clampitt of this city, for the second prize, it was determined to bestow a medal wu each, as being both equally entitled to receive it. Honorable mention was made of Wm. L. Wilson, of Va. Prior to the awarding of the prizes, Dr. Samson, the President of the College, stated that hereafter an eminent gentieman, a personal friend of ne at present residing in Exeter, England, d termined to bestow a prize upon the student who during the year sould have acquired the greatest excellence in classical learning; and that farther, through the generosity of Dr. D. Gale, of this city, one of the Trustees of the College, a tize was to be awarded to the one who should ave reached the highest attainments in the natc- t | selences After Dr. Samson had conferred the d in the order we published yesterday, he took leave of the graduating class in a most pathetic and affectionate address, which SL) rae made a deep impression upon the graduates, as well as upon all others present. He then by the same au- thority conferred the honorary degree of Bach- clot in§Pt! osophy on Jas. Dennison, a graduate of the Hartford Institution for the Education of Deaf Mutes, and now a teacher in Columbian In- stitute for Desf Mutes and Blind, in this city.

Wast Exp iur MENTS —Since our recent notice of the West End improvements, we are happy to observe the completion of two tine bouses in the immediate vicinity of the War and Navy Departments, and close by the Nat.onal Gallery of Art. These houses have been built by Gilbert Cameron, the various branches of the work being executed by master mechanics of the highest standing in this city, whose names are a guaranty that all bas been finished in the best manner in their several departments. The buildings possess all the conveniences of first-class houses, being fitted up with water and gas. the rooms baving fire grates, with marble mantels throughout. Be- sides their being first-class houses, the builder has so managed in their consteuction as to mect a want which is much felt in this city, viz: to afford genteel and comfortable houses at a low rent: and aitbough these houses are in close proximity too: F great thoroughfare they still possess the character of private residences. Attached to them are brick stables and other ottices, with tine airy yard. The stone work is of Seneca free-stone, which blends beautifully with the prepared brick fronts.

A lady was met by another at a stand and accused of taking a cape belonging to the accuser from _a room, on the occasion of the Orpban Boys’ Pic Nic.’ The accused looked frizhtened, while the accuser, as cool as possible, went on to detail the proofs of ownership. The altercation grew exceedingly exciting, and the crowd looked for a dispiay of skill in the use of finger-nails; for tora robes, and scattered hairpins Fortunately, however, the affair ended with only the tongue-lashings which were administere freely by each party.

A large number of citizens have been at considerable expense in putting up water fixtures and are obliged to pay the annual water tax, and the city authorities should secure to them, as far as possible, the use of the water by preventing waste.

Center Manxet.—The appearance of the Market space this morning was as lively as usual The dealers and purchasers were eq ually active this morning, the latter being anxious to get through with their business as soon as possible and get tosome more pleasant and retired spot where the air was more agreeable. The pro- visions were of excellent quality in all the depart- ments, and fully sufficient to lip the demand. The bay market, as usual at this season, was not crowded with wagons; the prices for hay average from fifty to eighty cents, according to quality. Tue Resunt oF a Frozic —Yesterday, the young, man Charles Werner, who, with a com- panion named Uncker, was arrested by detective otticers Keese and Busher, and charged with the larceny of a watch from Mr. R_ Wilkerson, as we heve before stated, sent for Mr. Keese and gave up the watch.
