After the exercises at the emplei the Society returned to Concert lall, where two hundred and fifty gen- lemen, members and guests, sat down o i alsumptuous Dinner. -After the cloth as removed, the Regular Toasts were 'announced and received with heart v an- Wobation : The Rev. Mr. Pickfont, having been called upon for a sentiment, rose and laid : Mr. President : This call has been nde upon m 'altogether unexpectedly f course it finds me unprepared; and s I have brought nothing to the tabic to answer such an emergency, I hope I may UC tt'IV"vU I.U I'll l u y HE V Uiliui vnui Vaye lallen upon it trotn the nanus ot bther. ! His Honor,; the Mayor, ha just given jm as a sentiment, Ihe Irish Hrart. ' This, as you are probably aware, sir, is the title of a I einperance tale, which tie- pjcts, in glowing colors, the rum ihat was Wrought in an.Irish family, in which the wife's and mother's was the heart in-qujes- 'turn, and a true heart it was to her hus- and and her children. The poor family iad been so reduced to the deepest . mi- cry bv the the Crathur,' that, in the itternes of her soul, she says, near the close of the affecting: narrative, 'Mynwn tares it is that's bin mate and dhrink to tme mnv a dee :v and Vet. such is the love of an Irish heart, shc would otlen sav of her drunlien husband, 4 There ne- Ver was a kinder nor himself upon coult weather i it's nothing but the era thu tif Now1, Mr. President, in this juuehing ale, which I talce ihis opportunity of re- oramendtnn; to your notice, and I doubt jhot that to-morrow's sa'e, at our bok- i 1 1 .

In the preface to the jtale ot An It i-.ii Heart," we are infortned by replies t questions proposed bv a Comuuttee of the Bri'tish House of C'iin n.ions, that a single Disiilloryi in Crm mel, county; of Tipperary, pays to'the Govcrnniient, in duties, 60. 000, or about 8300,000 a year ; and, that in the same town, containing 1700 inhabitants, there are no fess than 129 Spirit shops, or more than one in every '23 families ; and from the same source, we learn that Ireland pays not less, but more, than 50.000000 klollars annually,' for the Whiskey that she drinks. When we think of lite loss of bodily and mental power, induced bv drinking more than 1 2,000,000 gallons of wniBKey, need we ask, 1 whence comes Ireland's weakness & Ireland's poverty ? Ana wnen we inink ot the corn that is worse than! consumed, in producino this ,sea of Whiskey, need we ask, whence comes Ireland's famine r And when we see this poverty and famine, and the weakness that comes with, both need we ask, how itis that England keenher foot upon Door Ireland's neck, and how she has lor ages, made her drink her own tears; till, now e may almost say, that sne nas uecome. , : ' ' Like, Niobe, U teaw.w iiNc, sir, Britannia knows well, that lhe can in no way keep her sister Hiber- vwn, anu remain ner naughty mis- uul oy ireaung ner as Sampson's wistress treated him, by getting her tfta- Vtd aye, and ahi i mnrnvr rrl in the form of TrT Vk;ir-.

The sentiment given 9 by iHis Honor, the Mayor, in the early part of the even nig The Irish Heart" rferved as a text for many of the Volunteer scniiments that were afterwards given by other gen tlemen. N The Rev. Mr. Lathrop being called, upon, said he. would preface a toast by relating an incident which hap pened to himself in early .life. When a boy, he had set out on a journey of forty or fifty miles, to visit a kiittfman (on" the banks of the then new canal in the State of New-York.) After wandering a length of time in the tlark, he knew not whither, he descried a light, on arriving at which he found to proceed from fh cabin of an Irish family. He was kindly receiv- eu aiu renesned, anu uuormeu inai Hit house of his kinsman was four otile off, and it would be impossible to find his way alone, and as he was desirous tv proceed, his hospitable entertainer took down his lanthorn, lighted a candle in it and proceeded on foot with the lad, thm' the wilderness, ; till he put him on a di rect road to the place of destination. Mr. Lathrop thought he could not now pay a belter tribute to the feelings so gc nerally found in.the Irish heart," than by proposing the health of Patrick Mur- 11 .a " pny, ins host and guide on the occasion ust related. After such a relation, and lone in such a happy style. Patrick Alur- hy's health was received by three hun- Ired of his countrymen, with unbound ed applause.' The cheering having sub sided, the liev. Mr. Piernont aroeand begged leave to offer a quotation from Shakespeare, supplementary to the beau- iful incident, so well told by his bro- her, and a heartily responded to by the ..a companylines equally applicable to the ight in Mr. Murphy's lanthorn, and to the act of Mr. Murphy himself : " How far the little candle throws its beams ! So shines a good deed in a naughty world." When Patrick Murphy escorted the strange boy through the .wilderness, he lid not expect, either his candle or his deed to shine with such brilliancy at the distance o three hundred miles, and af ter the lapse of nearly twenty years The following beautiful passage is from a Sermon preached by. Bishop. Hebgk to his Parishioners, a short time before his departure for India, in 1812 : Life bears us on like the current ot a mighty river. Our boat at fir.t glides down the narrow channel,' through the playful murmurings of the little brook and the windings-of its grassy borders.' The trees shed iheir blossoms over our young heads; the flowers on the brink eem to oner themselves to our young hands; we are happy in hope, and w' grasp eagerly at. the beauties around us ; but the stream hurries on, and still our hands are em ply. Our course in manhood is along a wioer and deeper flood, and amid tjects more striking and magnificent We are ani mated by the moving picture of enjoy ment and -industry which passes before us ; we are excited by some short-lived disappointment.-" But our energy and dependence are both in vain. . The stream bears us on; our griefs and OUR UNIVERSITY.

Benjamin F. Station, Eq. in a letter to the Editor of th Farmers' Register, savs : "l am pleased ihat, in connexion with others, you have succeeded in establishing sbme highly important truths which were, formerly not known, lor entirely discredited, it is lamentable that nianv should st lljbe so slow as not to embrace them,) but are now received among the more intelligent cultivators ot the sow,, as Agricultural axiom j v, t THE. ExtrtxTivx CoMKtTTKi of the Trustees of the University of North-Carolina, consider it alike due to t coranttt. nity and the InsUtution, that correct information with respect to its prisent condition and future prospects should be generally disaem mated throughout the State. vThey have determined, therefore, to address a copy of this Communication to such genUemert aa may be supposed most likely to take an interest in the subject to which it relates, with the hope that more attention may be attracted to th Uoilege. They entertain the opinion, that upon every principle by which enlightened patriotism can be supposed to bti influenced, they nayea right to ask this much of the intelligence of the State; and they wish to be considered as asking no more. IfLthe claims of the Tjniversity to public patronage cannot be sustained, on a fair examination of the comparative advantages afforded by the most respectable Colleges in the country, they do not desire to be regarded as its advocates. ,V Whether the maintenance of at least one Literary Institution of high character, whatever may be the expense required torostaJai it, is not essential to the interest and reputation of the State, is a consideration which may be properly addressed to the Legislature.but is entitled to little weight with a Parent anxious to secure the best opportunities of instruction for a son. With him tb.fr enquiry will be, not what the University should be, but what it is. To give a full and fair answer to this question, is the only object of this wuiiuuiuvniiviit : about which all doubt and discussion: may cease ; axiom that The local situation of the village of Chapel Hill, is too well known to render description necessary. The dubritv of the climtf tnay be expressed in few words, and on the correctness ufi has been most satisfactorily ascertained by the experience of more than forty years; and it is very certain that it is not surpassed ia uu iwiea, uy ie mosi iavourea villages among the Mountains. Tiie College edihees are well arranged, and sufficiently extensive for the accommodation of any number of Students that can be reasonably expected, or perhaps desired, to resort to the Institution. Tbi three main buildings are now undergoing extensive and thorough repairs. The new Chapel will be completed in season for the Com mencement Exercises in June. A Hall of the same dimensions will be speedily erected near the opposite end of the 8outh Building; which is designed to perpetuate the name of the late venerable -President of the University, and to afford the requisite spare for th Laboratory, Philosophical Chamber, and Library, upon a scale corresKnding with the character, and adapted to the wants of the Insti tution. In the mean time, arrangements will be made for the proper improvement of the Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus, and gradual increase of the Library. - , ' ' , The attention of thk Executive Committicx has not been confined, however, to the mere improvement-of the College edifices, and the increase of the Library and apparatus. These things are not unimportant in them selves, but are entitled to little consideration in comparison with the advantages to be derived from able, diliffent and faithful instruction in the several departments of leamintr. 'and , an impartial and enlightened administration of the laws of the College. They entertain the opinion, that the gentlemen who are at which any one who chooses, may immediately procjeed to act. a lew oi these are : That-deep ploughing never need be dreaded. A small Farm, well conducted, is a source of greater reve nue than a larga one 'indifferently managed. i It would be a vast amount -f saving to the whole commu nity, If every private owner were reiquired to keep his stock frmn committing depredations on his neighbor's, i instead of imposing the ou?rou burden upon thieoi. ' : ihe profits of Agriculture (other things equal) are in; pro- portion to the attention paid to manuring ; Hiat 1S as IS the j present .charged with the performance of these arduous and important duties, will disappoint no reasonable expectations which' may.b exieni oi me latter, so win De that oi the lormer.

The raising of Tobacco need not impoverish the land, but it is only to the undue and disproportionate space, that is al lotted to this staple commodity that the mischief it is said to have produced, is attributed." From the Milton Spectator. TIIE HORSE. The season is at hand when the attention of men should be .a. .1 a a I V la directed to the suuiect or oreeding horses, jvery ooiiy in v w f wf this country knows the usefulness ot the House; 1ii praises have been often sung" in our lime, and in ihe 59ill chapter of Job, when speaking of the Horse, he says : ' He j,paveth in the vallev, and rejoice ill in his strength : he goeihion to ineel the armed men. lie niocketh at fear and is not affrighted : neither turneth he back from the sword. He saitli among the trumpets, Ha, ha ; and he smelleih the battle afar off, the thunder of ihe Captains, and the shouting." The excellent qualities ot this noble animal are not duly appreciated and understood by all. It is conceded ihat there are difteient races of ihe horse, with dissimilar qualities j all adapted to suit ihe various and important porj.o-.ys of man, some tor me iuii, long uuu suoi i uimuiiucs y some ior ueavv and slow draught : some for quick travel 'stage and other entertained of them m all these respects.

'r - x.r.- if W , 1 a K years experience and observation has taught me to ovheve that it is but Tdiy and a throw.-away of money when a com mon mare; ol blood only lor the draught or quarter speeil, is bred to a horse of stock or blood of a lour mite racer : such a course of breeding is well calculated lo keep doyh ihe; repu tation ol the best blood tor long racing. II a colt to run a long dis'anCe is required, the dam as- well as the sire must have the requisite qualities ; as a proof ol this assertion, let me ask how many four mile racers have you known produced from Janus marcs ; andahow many quarter miie racers have you known produced from lour mile mares without, or even with, a cross of the Janus blood. Ol the former class, so numerous at the present day, I scarcely know or read of one (I utcan a four. mile runner) but what is connected to the jiliustrious, imported sorrel Diomede, the site of the renowned old Sir Archie, both of which, and their descendants were capital lour mile runners. Of the latter class, (a quarter! race1 hie) 1 do not know or read of one but what is a descendant of th imported Janus, and very often a cross of the imported Fear naught is found to exist, although remote. lu raising a Fox, Dog would you mix the Hound with the Pointer ? in raising the Hird Dog,-would you cross the Poin ter with the Bull Dog? in raising the Bull Dug whose. quality is to seize and hold fast, would you add a cross of the 1 errier (the Rat Catcher.) buch a course ot breeding is very objec tionable and will apply with equal lorce, as well to the Horse as to the Dog. In selecting a horse to breed to, St is all im- nortaiit that one should be chosen whose size aiid lorm are well calculated to improve such defects as the mare posses ses, if any. The quality of each should als be Regarded as worthy of notice ; and an eflori made to leutove such objec tions as may exist, il any. It is too much the custom to breed from the stallion of some friend ; in doing which,-you breed for the benefit of your friend and neglect your own. Some breed: to a horse be cause he is convenient, and in many instances because the season is given $ wniit oiners who Know but utile ot the his tory of the blood horse catioot estimate the true 'value of the different crosses. To such I would fay what the last General Assembly of North Carolina did upon the subject of applying the surplus revenue, after some of the members trom the Northern sec tion ol the State imprudently obtained leave of absence and quit the turf, ?econMcr"and if :; the blood of your mare is sufficiently stiopg with four mile stock to justify it, you" would do welt to keep up the stock by a judicious1 cross upon that blood. If your mare is pretty much mixed with the blond of Janus, or any other stock whose blood is tiot highly distinguished for the long distance racer, you certainly wou do well to try a norse oi greai ppeeu rorasnon uisiance. to raise a draught hnrseis your object, try to select a 'stall of fine size, good gait, gentle qualities, good leyesj; and large, y charged at Cbllee, should desire the immediate demolition of all,.the Academies in the country. ; The requisite measures have beea adopted to confine the expenses of education within the most reasonable limits. TnWStcwsrd'a Hall has beea thoroughly repaired, and though no Student is requirp d to board there, it will be so managed as to compel the boardSnz , house keepers t charge no more than reasonable prices. TJoon this subiect. the Exkcutivb Gommittii can eive Darenta and cuir- dians,the most confident assurances, tbit the necessary . expenses of a Student do not exceed two hundred and fifty dollars per anutim, ' mciuu(iiig ciouies ana pociiei money, oome spend lessr the expenditures ot a majority exceed this amount, but a larger sum, is not es sential either to'the comfort or reputation of any one. Under the existing laws of the Institution, it is utterly impossible, that a prodi gal expenditure oi money can he made by a btudent, without the culpable connivance of his Parent or Guardian. If tt should ever oc cur therefore, no blame can be attached to the Institution, and the sufferer will be entitled to no commiseration. , i 'Cy the Revised Laws of the State, it has beeu made an indictable offence to sell wines or spirituous liauors to a Student or to tell him goods upost credit, without the written permission of a member of the Facultv. A Student on his arrival is reauired to deposit all his funds in jthe hands of the Bursar. No expenditnre is permitted but under his direction, and an account without any charge for this service, is rendered to his Parent or Guardian, at the end of the session. By an Ordinance of the Executive Committee adopted izi J uly , last any'Stndent who shall contract a debt without the consent of the Bursar, will be dismissed, and the same penalty is attached to iue paymeni oynne unaruian oi a oeDt so contracted. i ;. An Act of Assembly passed in 1828 declared that all contracts made with a Student of the Universitvby any person should be void. No one therefore, is under any obligation either legator moral, to pay a debt of this &aracter, and a more valuable or acceptable service) can scarcely be rendered to the Institution, than an invariable refusal to do so under any circumstances. . . O f.?- In addition to tlnese salutary regulations, the Faculty are authorized in all cases, when the applicant is a native of theJStaWsuaw tains a fair moral character, and upon examination is believed to possess the requisite mental endowments, natural and acquired; indls unable to pay the Tuition Fees, to admit him into any Class, for which he may be prepared, withputeharge either for Tuition ot room rent. . -r .- - . - . . - r : Thk Executive Committee have the pleasure to state, that although the patronage extended to the University, is in no deereo commensurate with the resources and intelligence of the -State, there is "gratifying evidence, that the Institntion is growins in the confi dence and affection of the community. The aggregate number of Students at present is buf. eighty-five. Of this number however, inoro than torty are members of the Freshman Class No instance is known since the foundation of the College of sd Targe a number of ad miss.ons into either of the Classes. It will be readily perceived, that a like number of applicants for admission at die approaching Com menccment, would make a very favorable change in the aspect of our affairs. ' -. .-. ! . .. . c-. In conclusion, the Committee beg leave to remarkthat in the respects in which the citizens of North-Cai olina can be regarded, as least true to themselves, the most striking is the almost universal disposition to undervalue our own Institutions and. our own citizens. An examination of the Catalogues of the Colleges of other. States, will shew that quite as large a number of young men from this Stat are acquiring Collegiate education abroad, as at home. If by so doing, they were; enjoying decidedly superior advantages, their courtsr would be entitled to marked commendation. How far this is the case, two statements'x)f well ascertained authenticity may enaLU tl, public to decidf. ' , ' - " ' - '-'5 - - ' . '. X L V- - ' -'','" '-' There is no instance known during a series of years, where a young man of regular standing in this Institution, has not been ad-It mitted into the same Class of any other College, to which. he may have applied. A more remarkable fact b that three young gentle men who commenced their Colleeriate course with the nresent Senior Class in the UniversitvJand nrosecuted their studies' througfi th. most difficult;, part of the system, are, it is understood, to graduate hi the course of the present year, one at a Western, a second at Southern, and a third at a Northern Institution, of well established reputation each one receiving the highest distinction hi his Class.' ' It is clear to a demonstration, therefore, that our young men are not compelled to go abroad, to obtain an ;educatiori :) all respects equal to that given in the best Institutions in theUnited States? and that it is not necessary to make any sacrifice upon the altar of btato pride, in order to remain at home. -That many advantages, aside from the learning acquired at College, wo result from forma tion of lasting friendships and associations which would grow tip aciong those who are to constitute no rtnaB '-pNcm,n. of oof juUu rulers, by the patronage of a Stat Institution, no ope can doubt. It is not less clear, thst many evil, the nature rfbjeh it tf vat neces sary to explain, might be avoided by the adoption of that course, upon the part of Parents and Gmudjans, upuO th rebjer wWafetSif "V E.
