FHILO WHITE, Sec'y. Arrangements fjr the Celebration. We are authorized to state, that the Commit tee of Arrangements have contracted for a Din ner on the 4th, to be furnished at the Mansion Hotel ; as also for a Ball in the evening- of that day, at the same place. Considerable pains will be taken to furnish a Dinner not only wor thy of the occasion,but also at a rate so low that the circumstances of none can preclude them, on the score of exrense, from participating in the celebration of the day. The nail will also be afforded at a low rate. Separate subscrip tion papers, for the Dinner and for the Ball, are left at the bar of the Mansion Hotel, where all those gentlemen who are desirous of partaking of one, or joining in the other, are invited to C3ll and subscribe. Mr. Thomas Dews has been requested, and has consented, to deliver an Oration on thaf day ; David F. Caldwell, Esq. will read the Declara tion of Independence ; and Col. Yarbro' act as Marshal. A procession will be formed at the Mansion Hotel; the military in front, the Ladies net, and all others to follow ; and march by files through the Cros streets to Main street at the Bank; from thence up Main street to the Court-House, where the civic exercises of the day will commence, 1st, by prayer; 2d, by reading the Declaration; 3d,' by the delivery of an Oration, Sec. fee. The ladies are particularly requested to join in the procession at the Mansion, and move from thence round into the Court-House, to witness the exercises there. All the citizens of the town, as well as those from the adjacent country, and such strangers as may be among us at the time, are requested to join in the proces sion, with the details of which the Marshal of the day is charged. As this is the Fiftieth anniversary the half centennial celebration, of an event more glori ous than any the world has known fur a long lapse of ages, it is confidently believed no artifi cial incentive will be required to call together a r.uTiercus assemblage of our vizen".

What ground there may be for sup posing, with the letter above referred to, that Sp dn will very soon follow the ex ample of France" in sending commission ers to Panama, we hae no particular means of judging, though we confess we have seen no indication of any such pur pose in our direct European accounts, which are considerably later, than any that could have been received at Cartha gena at the date of the 13th April. There cannot be much doubt that both Mexico and Colombia would consent to Cuba's remaining under its present de pendence on the crown of Spain, if Spain would in turn acknowledge the independ ence of those countries, and it is most manifestly for the interest of the United States that such a course should be taken. THE UNIVERSITY. The Committee of Appointments for the University of N. Carolina, assembled at Chapel-Hill, on Tuesday last, to make choice of Professors of Modern Languages and Mathematics. For the first named Professorship, a French gentleman named Hantz, now residing near Boston, was selected ; to the latter, Mr. James Philips, an Englishman, residing near New-York, was appointed. There were so many ap plicants, and the testimonials they pro The siege of the Caste of Callao.

We are inclined to believe that propri etors of Newspapers would do a service to the community by publishing the names of such mean spirited men as subscribe for papers and after receiving them, one, two, or three years, as the case may be, change their residence by running away or otherwise leaving the printer un paid, the paper still going, and the post master to inform that the subscriber had made off, bag and baggage. All flagrant cases at least should be piblished. Anson Gibbs received the Statesman at Ovid, Seneca county, to the amount of gll 94, and went off without paying for it.

At a large and respectable meeting of the democratic citizens of the city and county of Philadelphia, friendly to the election of General Andrew Jackson, to the office of President of the United States, held pursuant to public notice at the County Court House, in the city of Philadelphia, on Thursday afternoon, May 2 5th, at 4 o'clock. On motion, Jacob Holgate, Esq. was called to the chair, and Frederick Stccvcr and -Ienry Horn were chosen secretaries. After the meeting had been addressed by gentlemen, the following resolutions were passed, with great unanimity: Resolved That our confidence in the untarnished integrity, experience, abili ties, and well tried patriotism of General the garrison was reduced during the siege ; but the following picture exhibits the most appal ling sufferings that it were posible for humani ty to endure : The garrison and inhabitants of Callao were reduced to a deplorable state, almost entirely without food, and in a state of starvation ; dead bodies were found in the houses and streets, that hac' died of hun ger. The Marquis Torretagle a patriot General whom the Royalists held as a prisoner his wife and fan ly, have either been killed, or starved t death. From the extreme want of foci in his family, he gave Gen.

The Greeks are said to have obtained some naval successes. It is said, that a conspiracy to revolu tionize Spain, had been discovered ; and that one of the conspirators declared there is, in London, a Directing Revolu tionary Committee, cf which Mina is President. From St. Petersburg the advices are to the 1st of April. The Russian army is said to be looked on with alarm by the Czar. An article in the Journal de St. Petersburg, of the 2 1st March, states, that the Russian soldier is too idle, and in a state of peace, gives his ear too read ily to the insinuations of ill-disposed and innovating reformers. It adds, that the government itself seems now inclined to attend to the subject ; and a plan is said to be in contemplation to employ those mercenaries, in time of peace, on works of public utility. Not a syllable is said of the Greeks or Turks, in these papers the press of Petersburg is under too strict a " surveillance." CHERAW MARKETS, June 9.

We add the following-articles on the subject : PANAMA. Private accounts from Washington, (says the New York Mercantile Adverti ser, state that our Government has been notified that the Congress of Panama will not assemble before the month of Octo ber. The departure of our Ministers will, therefore, be deferred till that time. C0.GRESS of PAX AM A. FBOM THE 5EW-IORK AMEI11C The Mercantile Advertiser, of this mor ning, has the following paragraph : u We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter from Carthagena, of April 13th, (received by way of Mobile,) .vhich states that a French frigate had arrived from Brest, with Commissioners from the Government of France to the Congress of Panama, and with, as was supposed, authority to form a treaty with Colombia. The letter adds, " there is -very great expectation that Sfiain will very seen follow the example of France." There is, however, we imagine, very little doubt, that the session of the Con gress will be postponed till autumn. Ac counts as late as the middle of April from the Isthmus have been received, and at that time the deputies from two only of the American nations had arrived. The departure, therefore, at this season, of our minister, would be unnecessary and useless, and it has been accordingly post poned. The information of the Albany Argus, that Mr. Sergeant and Mr. Roches ter were to embark in the Lexington sloop of war, next month, was doubtless deem ed correct when given, but it is neverthe less inaccurate. It is doubtful, we appre hend, whether the Lexington will not proceed at once to the lirazil station, without touching at Carthagena or Porto Bello, recourse being had to some other publicans throughout itio fn;osi, to com municate with similar committees in other states, or in the vaiious counties of this commonwealth, and to pursue generally, all such measures as may be deemed ex pedient, in order to insure, at the close of the present term of the Presidential ofiice, the triumphant election of the peo ple's candidate. WASHISGTOX, MAT 22 One or two members, during the sit ting yesterday morning, expressed a be lief that it is unconstitutional, and at va riance with the rules of the House, to le gislate on Sunday.

Mr. Mercer gave notice before the House adjourned, that he should this morning move lor a call of the House ; and Mr. Wcems, of Maryland, also gave notice that he should move to record on the Journal, the names of all the mem bers who have drawn their full pay, and absented themselves without leave of the House. io. Captain Symmes is engaged in giving lectures at Boston on his new theory. We find it stated that he lectured on Thursday last to a very respectable audi ence, who listened to him with attention. A letter from one of the audience, signed a convert," says, " he listened for the ravings of a madman, and heard the spec ulations of a philosopher and sage." The " North Carolina Journal," pub lished by Mr. James A. Patterson and edited by Major John A. Cameron, at Fayetteville, made its first appearance on the 17th instant.

LATE FROM EUROPE. London papers to the 22d of April have been received in Boston. They contain very little news. It was expected that the dissolution of Parliament would take place some time from the middle of May to the second week in June, but the pre cise time was not fixed. At the latest dates from Greece, Missolonghi had not surrendered, and the accounts of this event hpfme received, as we conjectured, were untrue. The Earl of Liverpool, in the House of Lords, in answer to an inquiry respecting the letter which has been pub lished in many of the papers, purporting to be from on English colonel, said, " the facts mentioned in the letter could not therefore be true, for it represented Mis solonghi to have fallen at a time when it had certainly not fallen" It was asscr- scribers. 4tl7 Cajirru8-evTrri7yj HENRY CRESS, HENRY PROBES.
