After a voyage of twenty days, we have arrived at Punta Arenas, The sailing distance from bere to l’apamsa is about six bundred miles, but in conse quence of the tropical calms with which vessels have to contend in these latitudes, we had an exceedingly long ‘voyage.

OUR NEW HAVEN CORRESPONDENCE; New Haves, Jaly 27, 1857. Commencement Week at Yale Oollege—Baccalaureale Ser- mon-- Biennial Jubilee—Phi Bea Kappa ‘The exercises of Commencement week began yesterday with the delivery of the Bacoslaureate sermon by Rev. George P. Fisher, Professor of Divinity and Pastor of the College church. The discourse was founded on John 5, 44; ‘(Which receive honor one of another, and seck not ‘bo honor that cometh from God.” The subject was, — m7 all the more easily and pledge of secresy un: erly conducted having | two. In the class of ruaded to join. The Bie igh rates for initiation, foe then being $2. At the tacocedipg anniversary of the society it was apparent something must be done to save it from ) aod | after copniderable debate it was decided to reduce the feo “The duty of seeking honor from God rather than from men.” First, the negative aspects of the subject demand. ed consideration; i. ¢., how far {} is allowable to seck honor from men; secondly, regarding it positively. The epeaker, after referring to the strangeness of the fact that a buman being should be honored by one who is divine, epumerated the different ways in which this was done. In this life God gave the presence of his holy spirit and the bleeeings of an approving conscience. This is the smile of heaven en good actions, In the future state of oxistenca the testimony of bis appreval is still greater and far more precious. In the third place, the value of the gospel principle when it has become an element of character was referred to, It becomes a guide to duty; the door toall truth; sbe only means of happiness in this life, and the only suppor im the hour of death. In conclusion, he addreesed a fow ‘arewell words to the members of the graduating class seferring to their progress since they had become con- nected with college us unparralelied, and speaking with evident emotion of the trial the separation would be to hose who had eo long been their instructors. Leet Friday the sophmores had thelr ‘biennial jubilee” «t Savin Rock, @ place of resort om the Sound, some five or ix miles below the city. This jubilee is the natural aad inevitable consequence of the biennial examination. This examipat\cn takes placo at the end of the sophomore and fentor years, in each case embracing the studies of the two preceding years. Any one who had looked into Euclid or Day’s algebra— who bas unraveiled Livy’s knotty sentences, or pored over che pages of Horace, Homer, Herodotus, and the long list of mathematical Gecian and Laiin worthies with whore works the student is supposed to form an intimate acquaint- ance during the first two years of bis college course—any one who has ever looked at these, must be aware of the task it would be to pass an examination on them when heir names are hardly remembered. Two weeks are given up to thie examination, sud as that length of time spent in vbremittiog and severe application is something to which the student can hardiy be eid to accustomed, his mental and physi cal system alike demand a correspon’ degree of relaxation; hence the necessity of this “jubilee.” It is the shriek’of the locomotive after it bas toiled up a steep grade avd is about descending to the plains beneath, for freshman and sopbomore yesre are the years at Yale when hard, discouraging labor is performed by the sta dent, or at t 18 supposed to be performed. The sense of rehef experienced at such @ time as this finds ex; sion io various ways. One of its most remarkable lopements is the ical.” Poor Pegasus has to suffer. The old nag is mercileesly put through paces he never dreamed of before. Songs are demunded as the best method of allowing thie superfluous exuberance of spirits to ercape, and every one who has erer made two lines harg together by their last syllables, or been guilty of per- petrating a pun, is expected to contribute his share to the epjoyment on tbe occasion. Songs of all measares, and set to tones which allow of being sung with the greatest spirit, are furnished to order. The following will pass for }Tetty good specimena:— SONG.
