Annual Commencement of tne Rutgers Fe- maie Inatitute, The sixterpth annual commencement of the Rutgers Female Institute took place yesterday in the Rutgers street Church. The occasion appeared to be one of more than ordinary interest, and we have never seen the edi- fice so crowded at any former commencement. The sudience was composed almost entirely of ladies, with a slight sprinkling of the sterner sex. In point of fashion and beauty, we have rarely seen it excelled, The ladion sppeared to the beat advantage; they were evidently de- termined to look beautiful, and it is suffictont to aay that they succeeded in thoir laudable efforts. ‘The exercises commenced with the singing of the fol- lowing eppropriate rong by the pupils, who were as- companied by the organ:— O, Lord, to thee we rsise our song, For thou hast led us safe along Life’s dimly lighted way; Accept in love the songs of | praise, With grateful hearts to thee we raise, Here, on this festal day. Oar journey has been strew’d with flawers, Gathered from the immortal bowers Of wisdom and of truth: No sorrow’s cloud bas crossed our way, But visions Mt by hope's glad ray Have cheored the path of youth.

The report of the committee on the compositiona of the second de- faery was read by tev. Dr. Krene. It gave the rere erate to the Itieracy ettorta of the young ladies of this class. The topics wero as varied, in the laa gvsge of the report, as the compositions ware nu merous, apd ail wi freo from proxy sermoa- izog end unprincipled levity, vy. Dr Krebs read one of the best compositions, entitled “The Light of Life,’ a poem which displayed more than orai- nary talent, but which wo thiox might have cited with’ more effect. The reverend geatioman was evicently under the impression taut it was a oyma ho was reading. Why not allow tho young ladisa the privi lege of reading their own compositions? The prize com- position, an ersay on the woes and miseries of the bamaa Face, entitled + was Made to Mourn,” was read by po yo lpenpy ‘The subje*t isa eicomy one at the at ‘a sanguine, hopeful¥aature like ours, pre- a but tractions; yot it was written’ with much force, ras emiceatly successful is presenting the wees worst side of human life. We think, however, with all due reapect for the talent of the fair authorens, that ske would do much better had she a theme more full of hope, and we would suggest that abe select a sub- pnd of more cheerful character for her next composi- jon. ‘This esray was followed by a very pretty song, writ- ten by one of the pupils, and sung by the young ladies. The music was composed by J. ©.

After this came ban re on penmanship, im which the pupils who rece! Prizes, were maie knowa to the audience by their numbor in their par- ticular class. As pone of names were men- tioned, it was impossible for thoso present to escertain who were the auscess’ul competitors. The re. ports of the committee on the French examination, music, and geographical examination, were read next.
