Medical College Commencement.

--The African Church was densely thronged last night by the "beauty and fashion" of the city, in consequence of the announcement, that the annual commencement exercises of the Medical College were to take place. It was a scene that forcibly reminded the spectator of "Richmond in by-gone days." After an impressive prayer by Rev. Dr. Moore, the address to the graduating class was delivered by Professor Wellford, and listened to with deep attention. The ceremony of conferring degrees upon the band of young doctors was, as usual, the most interesting feature of the occasion to the ladies present. The band played lively airs at intervals, and everything went off to the satisfaction of all concerned.
