Martin Van advised tne rest Full soon to “ get out of the way,’” And give him a tot spike that gun” ‘That echoes the name of Clay. But while they conversed—a sound Struck them with surprise and wonder, For Maryland spoke, and the Locos swore The noise they heard was thunder Says Calhoun, “ let’s change our name, nd make it loco motion ; For about our little Matty Van The folks have got a queer notion,” The Whigs at the great Convention, Convened at Baltimore, Nominated for Vice President, ‘New Jersey’s Theodore. ‘Then aLoco laughed outright, ‘And cried—" that’s good, | vow, ‘The coons can sing no more Whig songs, ‘They’re a used up party now.” Soon the Minstrels came along, And the way he ran was surprisin’, For with voices clear did they sing about Our Clay and Frelinghuysen.

(Correspondence of the Herald.) New Haven, (Cr.) Aug. 16, 1844. Yale College Commencement. Dear Bennet: The ides of August are past and the tever of commencement is rapidly abating.— The incessant rattle of wheels revolving towards the various outlets of the city, announces that the tide of human fife, swollen to an unprecedented degree, is ebbing fast towards low water mark.— Well, all that’s, bright must fade, and the fun and philosophy of old Yale’s Jubilee e’en have their imits, too. The existence of the last few days to the heroes of the scene was doubtless intense, for all the auxiliaries of a brilliant oration were present. An avalanche of auditors attended; Zolus sped some of his blandest breezes, and Apollo emitted his brightest rays—so the gods, you see were propitious. The music of the Boston Brass Band was exquisite, and the Beethoven vocalists first raie,and a mass gathering of fair women, such as can be collected no where out of New England. To Southern optics, such an array of bright eyes and reddy complexions, fresh as Venus when she first rose from the froth of the sea, must have been a living picture positively refreshing. — By the bye, like all the allegories of the ar cients, more is meant than meets the ear, inthe fabulous origin of the Goddess of Beauty—it adumbrates indubitably the salutary virtue ofthe seline bath, in creating female charms, as well as hints at their fleeting nature. i The performances of the Theological Depart- ment, were most meritorious in ouropinion. The speakers of that branch were older, and of course their execution should have showed the difference of age, and the advantages of experience. But while they evinced talent and attainment, there was much bad taste and worse temper displayed. There was a vein of indirect defence of * Taylor- ism,” traceable throughout most of the harangues, as well os bitter sneers at Papacy and co- vert thrusts at Episcopacy ; now, merely as a mat- ter of abstract taste, all this was wrong, but betore a mixed audience of sectaries, it was obnoxious to harsher censure. jis Hall, ex-Attorney General of New York, delivered the annual discourse before the Phi Beta 6 Society, and acquitted himself remarkabl well ; that is to say, as a composition, it was wah conceived and skilfully elaborated into form and substance. His subject was a comparsson between the proud, speculative and impprecionhls philoso- phy of the ancients, and the humble, intelligible and useful philosophy of the moderns; and in elu- cidating his doctrine, the orater manifested a pro- found acquaintance with ubject, and evolved a mass of recondite, metaphysical and historical lore, that indicates that his mental magazine has been filling through years of studious toil. Disease has spared his fine mind, but his physique was too much impaired for him even to attempt the graces of elocution. Most sincerely do we hope that his health ey be restored, and that he may long live and be fully able corporeally, to be in practice as decided a Utilitarian ashe is in theorv. His speech is to be published. The poem which followed was as such things generally are, an abortion; and indeed after the signal miscarrriage of N. P. Willis, at a previous and recent commencement, we hud hoped there would be no more flirting with the reluctant muses. The idea of the poem was a plagiarism of one of Pope’s Satires at the follies in vogue in his time, but it was an idea miserably caricatured. The Graduating class was legionary in umber, being the largest ever graduated perhaps in this country. They did wellas a whole—but it was fondeatls that the eloquence of every speaker effervesced as incontinently from the moment he made his bow, in raised voice and violent gesture, as does brisk bottled porter when the cork is drawn. Now every body knows this heat is all stale and pre- meditated, and, therefore, preposterous ; we don’t expect ice in June, or roses in December. They should study more the unities of time and place and thunder and lighten, after the lowering sky an the fitful gusts have heralded: a storm. ‘They must learn the art of laughing in the right place. _ President Day conferred the degrees sitting with his hat on—the recipients standing before him with uncovered heads, pro more hujusce academia. Now, why is this Quaker’s beaver put on at this time, or at all. What is there apposite or signi- ficant in this ceremony, unless it symbolizes the magisterial dignity of the President, and if it is not a puerile and offensive token of authority to mature and educated minds. The Quakers make ita dogma of their religion to talk ungrammatical- ly, or thee and thou one another ridiculously. To wear the hat in pubile assemblies, even in that bear garden, the House of National Representatives, is deemed rude and ungentlemanly, and lately we have read that the Collector of New Orleans would not transact business with those who wore their hats in his office; and yet at the seat of learning (which ought to be the seat of refinement, too), and on the day of her highest solemnity—this rudeness is official, and of course considered imposing, or eo silly a ceremony would not be continued. What do the Reverend Fathers in God say to this desecration of the sacred desk? It looks odd enough indeed, to see a man in the pulpit before a chureh-full with his hat on. it may be said it is harmless; grant it, and so were the fooleries of the cocked hat, powdered whig and black gown of former arbitrary and formal ages. The enfranchising genius of this century laughs to scorn pictorial nonsense, and material outward parade in literary institutions, and exacts from them pure taste and simple forms The Chevaliers D’Industrie were busy at their trade, and a few, accidentally, we have heard of, but we leave them as lawful capital for the Penny- a-liners. Yours, in breathlesshaste, Viator. Tae Sa Serrent has returned. He has won- derfully increased in length, being upwards of one hundred feet loager than last year. He was seen oft Boothbay by the crew of the schooner Tempe- rance Mary; but, although in such tee-total com- pany, he went off, it we are to believe the follow- tmg from the Portland Bulletin, considerably ** shot in the neck.” Messns. Evrrons,—On Friday last, while the schooner Temperance Mary, Captain Klnathan Rogers, was laying to for the purpose of fishing, about a mile ond a hall east of the Cape Cottage, the attention of all hands was sud denly arrested by whut was at first token to be a shool of porpoises, moving in a direct line, single file, through the water, some 60 rods from the schooner. It was noticed that they remained on the surface of the water much longer than porpoises usually do, and that the foremost one seemed to be standing in an almost perpendicular po- sition, as it were, on his tail—bearing some resemblance to a militia officer in front of his company on a training day. On putting his glass to his eye, the captain was at tisfied that the objects in sight were not porpoises, of some huge sea monster, undulating through the water—in fine, that he had stumbied upon the tremendous water-anake known as the sea serpent Wishing to put the matter beyond all controversy, he- hoisted the foresail and run down till within some seventy. five le of the objects, when the matter was made cer- tuin by the serpentjraising its headyat least twentyffeet ont of the water, apparenti: ‘The hend was judged to be about two yards long, and had a striking re- semblance to that of a pickerel. The body was some- what larger round than @ molasses hogshead, ond, jndg- ing from the distance between the humps, must have been over two hundred feet long! but the crew of the Tempe. and have made tubbs, Esq., of Job Sterling) who saw the sea serpent when off Winter Harbor, some five y since, states that he has no doubt this is the same mopater, as the resemblance between the two, excepting as to size, is in every way exact—ond it would be strange, indeed, if he had not increased in size during the lapse of five yours. aptain Joaded a swivel which he had on board with a handful of bullets—having no other gan with him —and fired it at the head of the serpent. The shot evi- dently took effect, for the creature threw hia huge tail ihto the air to agreat height, and brought it down again with such force as to lash the water into a perfect foam He then wheeled his head round toward the schooner, his eye dilated with rage, and made a plunge beneath the surface. The men on board the schooner were great! terrified, and had no doubt that he was going to attac! them; but, strange to say, he did not again appear that night Thave been told hw Snakeship has been seen several times by the fishermen from Cape Elizabeth. Some of the visitors at the Cape Cot ave also had glimpses of him through a spy-glass; and Col Stephenson thinks if he had come a little nearer, the other morning, ne should have had a perfect view of him ‘The Serpent had probably been attracted to this quarter by the shoals of mackerel that have recently visited this coast. The above statements may be st! ly relied on.
