Wo are indebted to Lconord Scott & Co., New York, for niackwood's Magazine for Juuc uud The London Quarterly Review for April. This No. of Blackwood completes tbo volume of uix Months, and clotcs the beaulifully simple Elory of tbo Athvliugs. It also begins a new one by 1'isistratus Caxl* n?Sir Kdwnrd IJulwcr Lyttou.

Unco wc thought lite minds that presided over its |>ages fair and impartial, winnowing the false from its op|RM>ito, and presenting naked truth, unmixed with error, except as error is inseparable from the most perfect human effort, llui a different judgment is striving for supremacy, and wc are led to fear that national bios, if nut downright malignity, distorts facts uud trivial circumstances that may lend severity to slashing criticism on all questions not in precise accordance with the opinions of its writers. It is i.?? il.? habit of writers, wo admit, to refer tl.c decision of all subjects to arbitrary rules, and tliiw apology may !#o inado (or those filling but a limited upbore. Hut for coomopolit in authors it will not bold good. Tliey are supposed to bare attained ripe cultivation and tnnluro experience?enabling tlicin to take large pud comprebon-ivu views of question* affecting the civilization of tbo world. When, therefore, we find men of such lofty pretensions dwarfing thorn selves, we ore apt to withdraw confidence from their words, and conclude that all pictures are daubed with the name colors. { We are led to these remarks by reading in the current number of the London (Quarterly a review of Dred, tlio latest-born abolition child of the dis- ! eased fancy of Harriet Booclicr Slowc. True, sinnll comfort is meted out to Harriet ua an author; bn, the South Is villified most villainously, and the mild system of slavery in our States is contrasted haibarons to that w hich existed in ilritish Jamaica, when the facts nro precisely the reverse If all the papers in the Quarterly arc no more rdia- | lilc than the one to which wo refer, no man will be benefited by rending its pages. liungfll't Magazine for duly is also oil our table, (from tho Bookstore, win re copies may L-e found. ) This Southern effort shows continued improvement, und we hope as age adds to its stability its r< putulion will bring ampler pntionnge.

Tim chapel nt mi early hour win crowded witli n vast concourse of citizens au?l strangers. Wo arrived in time to secure n comfortable seat, uod to witness tlie whole proceeding*. At ten o'clock A. M. the crowd was enlivened with some lino uud thrilling music by the Greenville band, which, at thu head of u column of sedate and venerable looking men, was seen marching toward the chapelry. Among those thus distinguished, besides the Faculty and Trustees, were numbered some of our most distinguished citizen*. In the line ooulJ be seen the towering form of our (Mipulnt lix Governor, John II. Means; the venerable Dr Pierce, of Ga.; the Lieutenant Governor of our State, Hon. Gabriel Cannon; Mr. Williams, ono of the merchant princes of Charleston; and Dr. Dogan, one of tho niuxt allhieiit men of tho up-country. On the stage, in front of tho whole nuJicncc, these men were seated, thus presenting an imposing appearance. At the hour np|M?iiitcd, half-past ten o'clock, tho Graduatiug Class delivered addresses, excepting Mr. Dawkins, who was excused on necouut ol ill health. Tho first address, by Mr. Cofield, was in tho Latin language, and though doubtless a good piece of coni|Hjnilion, w is, in consequence of its laitinily, iucoruprehensible to all but a favored few. It seemed, however, to have the classical flow and richness peculiar to that tongue. Mr. Cofield is a gentleman of fine talents, and bore off the see ond honor. On this point, why, lef us inquire, is this custom if ? Latin address sr? rigidly observed on such occasions? It is certainly not that the evidences of scholarship are necessary to givo celebrity an I reputation to our Colleges. The Faculty are u sufficient guarantee of the thorough training and development of those who take diplomas, without such u distinctive feature, and therefore we think it should be abandoned, or the whole address should be translated. To deliver such an address niUd'. be a ta^k, we apprehend, and therefore were pleased with the smooth inanuor ol the speaker. Next came Mr. Howie, one of our own citizens, llis subject was Cicero. His theme war spirit stirring, and suggestive of the richness of that eloquence for which the Great Orator was distinguished. Handsomely did the speaker pjrtray tho fo'bles of tliQ character of this illustrious man, as well as llmsc virtues and noble de Is which gave irnpcrishnhlo glory to his name, and to his country a fame "rn re durable than brass"?eternal as tho eternity of lofty genius, of virtue, and patriotism. Tho model of oratory thus selected is ono worthy of Imitation; and in n county like ours, where the rostrum, tho stage, and tonqiorary platforms aro common, and innumerable opportunities for spocch making arc nff'ordeJ us, tosomo extent imitnblo Let such models lie taken, and none can tell to what perfection the graduate may nltain in this most potent art. Next wm Mr. Car link*, of Union District. Subject, bistory. To extinct from a subject bo comprehensive lessons tor enforcement ami presentation, adapted to such nn occasion, is a most difficult task. We wcro thcroforo agreeably surprised nt the interest which this speech |>ov<esacd. It was well-written ami forcibly delivered. The stylo of the speaker is bold, manly, ntid "dignified. All Mr. Carlisle wants is piactice to make a good and effective speaker. Next, the oration of Mr. W. Max Martin, of Uieblaud District, on a subject of great novelty and uncommon interest in lb* warmer regions of these States. 1 lis theme was the Culico Flag. Kvery person smiled as it was announced, for every body knew that nothing serious Could comu out of a subject of that class. Merrily did the speech flow, too, from the speaker, and merrily did the crowd stamp, npplaud, and laugh. The patriarchs of the a-scmb!ugc had their hearts so delighted and their | gravity so disturbed, that lliujTturned restlessly on their chairs, to disguiso tho mirthful emotions that agitated their bosoms. Not only were the sentiments Volatilizing to all seriousness, but they were encased in such language of poesy, fun,ami humor, that you wcro charmed whilo you were amused. It was a product of genius, as well as a vase of rare flowers, of rich perfumes, and brilliant colors. It was a relief to ilia min i, after the previous addresses, to hear something so tangible, bo engaging, eo ethereuli/.ing to the heart. The burden of tho 6peech was, Cotton is King, and its dominion over tho commerce of the seas, ns well as its indiapciisablcNoa to tho tom|K>rul welfare of all engaged in its reduction to the various forms of utility of which it is susceptible. Not only s?, but that its producers were our slaves, ami none but Africau labor could over enable it to fulfil its destiny. After the more weighty arguments were delivered, the speaker appealed to tho ladies, whom, as ho aid, it was peculiarly tho province of calico to adorn. Iluudsontcty did lie urge ita claims to their attention I hy t-pecialiics as well as generalities of remark. We are satisfied that tho argument* were well-aimed, | aad that the Calico Flag address will long be re incinbcred as a bright feature in the Commencement exercises of Woflbrd College, 1S57. Ltnl came Mr. Charles Petty, of our District, to whom was assigned the duty of making an address lip in tho duties mid ndvantages of educated tnen, (a subject of his own selection,) and to deliver the Valedictory. With the Subject-matter of the oddres we wore much pleased. It showed a thoughtful, well-balanced mind ?a sound perception and discriminating judgment. There was nothing like gossamer work alrout it. It was a serious production, upon a serious subject. The maimer of Mr. Putty is very uniform?smooth and unexceptionable. Tho Valedictory of Mr. Petty was mournfully grave; especially those portions that referred to tho Faculty and his fellow -students. The whole speech was a welltimed, hearty effort. In his remarks to the citizens he uttered this truth, that between them and the College there existed the most nmicablo relations That no feud*. 110 discords, no iarriii <s. mu-Ii :i? have marred the history of other Colleges, lia-l stained tlio records of our and College since iIs foundation. The true reason for thin happy st itu of things was the noil-ro?i<1 out system of the College. Til Te is no doubt th.it this circumstance has effect*il much in the production ol the kindly relation existing, anil should hove a proper Value fittilehed to it. The crowning feature of the whole affair was the Hncoal.iurcatc address n! lb President, I >r. Wightman. It w is full of t*-n leriiess, of soiiu I counsels, <iii<1 eliMjneiit thoughts eli?|icnlly express*- 1.
