REBELLION AT CAMBRIDGE.--The Boston Courier of yesterday says: Harvard College is in a state of complete insubordination and disorder:

The students refuse to attend at the recitations or submit in any other way to the authority of the officers.--They have put forth verbally, a Second Declaration of Independence." and demand the expulsion of one of the tutors. The officers of course, refuse them this favor, being more accustomed to expel students than tutors. The burning of a wooden building on the college ground, a few days ago, is supposed to be connected with these troubles: The affair grew out of an attempt to suppress a "Hasty Pudding Club."
