Ma. Hoitob Tho yearly examination
"f tho School at tho Orogon Institute, took
plaoe on Friday tho 4th last. Owing to tho
recent removal of several of tho families con
nected with tho Institution, many of tho old.
st students wero absent. Others had been
in the school but a short time arid many had
attended vory irregularly. Owing to these
and other embarrassing circumstances with
which tho teachers had to contend, tho friends
of the institution felt somo solicitude for tho
result. Their apprehensions however were
groundless, tho examination being altogether
rfutisfactory and highly creditable to both
teachers and pupils. Tho lattor were ex.
tciscu in various branches ol science, a
inong whioh wero Grammar, Geography,
Arithmetic, History, Natural and Moral
Philosophy, Uhctorio and Algebra. Such
a multiplicity ot questions wero nskod on
theso branches and answered by the pupils
with so much case and correctness as to
leavo no doubt as to their being perfectly fa
miliar with thorn. Unlike the course so fro.
iiucntly pursued on such occasions, the ques.
tions wore mado to assume every variety of
form and ombraco every possible view of the
subject under consideration, thorcby convin
cing every ono that tho pupil was not a mcro
automaton, repeating answers learned by
rote for tho occasion, but a thinking intellec
tual being, presenting tho result of his own
investigations in his own laugiiago. It was
expected from tho known ability of tho teach.

rary attainments, that groat proficiency
would bo mado by their pupils, but that their
labors would bo attended by such complete

their scholars hero in this "sun down land''
thoso who besides having a critical knowl.
edgo of grammar, history, rhetoric and all
tho minor brandies of education, wero ublo
to apply in praotico tho abstruse theorems,
definitions and rules of algobra to point out
and explain tho principles involved in tho
most hidden operations of nature, to trace
with mathematical precision elects tocauscs
und causes to effects, as the appear in tho
visible world, and to movo with easo and
self possession among tho nice distinctions

Tho London Spectator, after somo severe
remarks in respect to our conduct towards
tho Mexicans, which have better foundation
in reason than wo could wish, closes as fol
lows: "There is but one way to savo Mexico
to colonize a portion of her magnificent ter
ritory with a people worthy to occupy and
ablo to defend it. In our paper, last week,
on the project of cutting a ship canal through
tho great American Isthmus, wo pointed out
the admirablo opportunity now offered for
peopling the Isthmus of Tchuantepec, and
realising the incalculable natural advantages
of one of the most eligible commercial sites
on the face of the globe. That majestic re
gion, teeming with boundless wealth, washed
by two oceans, traversed' through half its
breadth bv a naviaablo river which oflTera at
.r- .. - . . . . . . ...
ts mourn, the finest harbor in the Uult oil
lexico, may now bo secured by English
men."
Excellent this!
Tho aged fox, fearing tho approach ofj
death, exhorted hLs progeny not to follow his
example any longer, but to lead moro honest
lives for tho future ; when a sudden sound
from tho poultry ymd reached his car aud
produced tho exclamation
"Out hark ! I hear the terJer brood 1
A chicken, too, might cloun good!"
