CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIoN.-The re-
turn Of tho second Centennial Anniver-
sary Of the settlement of the northern
part o: this State and Of the City of
Providence, was celebrated at that City
on Friday, the 9Th instant, in conformity
to the arrangements which we published
in our last. The weather proving favo-
rable, an immense concourse Of citizens
and strangers assembled OF the oc-
casion, including his Excellency the
Governor, the delegation from this State
in Congress, the literary, scientific, and
charitable institutions and associations OF
the City, and its entire Municipal Gov.
ernment. The procession, under a large
military escort, Of which the Newport
Artillery formed part, proceeded at l9
nj. to the First Baptist Meeting House,
where the services Of the occasion were
performed with ability and effect, and
an sbIe, candid, and instructive Dis
course was pronounced by the Hon.
JOHN PrTMAN. The Providence Jour
nal Of Monday furnishes a summary Of
its principal topics, which were of course
almost exclusively antiquarian and histo-
rical, but which we forbear to repeat, as
no doubt the Diseowse itself will be i'm
mediately given to the public by its
learned and highly respected author.
AT 8 o'clock, the subscribers, togeth-
er with their invited guests, sat down to
sumptuous entertainment prepared by
Mr.. Lewis l.. Hodges Of the Franklin
House, at which His Honor the Mayer
presided, assisted by the Hon. James
Fenncr, Edward Darlington, Esq. and
the Hon. Nicholas Brown. The Jour-
nal says

next, those who furnished materials for build

vided for. Farther details in relation to the
assignment have not come to my knowledge,
but am informed by the assignees, whose
integrity will not be questioned, that the pro-
vision tor all classes Of creditors is not only
equitable, but unexceptionable. The cash
value Of the real and persona! estate, / can,
not pretend to estimate, but, arm confident it
will exceed two millions of dollars and should
the times be favorable for closing the cosl-
cern, all the creditors may be paid even in
GLIDING the holders of forged paper. A large
portion Of the real estate is located near the
centre Of the city, and will always command
high prices and ready sale. 1t may be sup
posed abroad that so large failure will af-
feet the price Of real estate in the city. Or
judging from some articles which have ap-
peared in some of the Eastern papers, il
might he apprehended that the failure of Mr..
Rathbun would be the failure Of the city. A
few weeks will prove such opinions totally
uniounded. His place MS builder will no
doubt in month be supplied by fifty Others

II appears (says the Salem Observer that
the forcble removal Of the two female slaves,
from the Court House in Boston, on Monday,
has created strong excitement in that city,
particularly among the Southerncrs sojour-
ncylng there. The Traveller says, that four
families at one hotel left town on the same
evening, who had just arrived with the inten.
ton of spending the warm season among us;
and that twenty other individuals from the
South at other houses, have also left the city.

trouble likely to ensuc from Mr.. Van Buren's

nopolist party, headed by Alexander Ming,
dated on the 18th Apri. last. The Post of
last evening contains an account Of regular
general monthly meeting Of the democratic
party in favor Of equal rights, and opposed to
all monopoics, held on the 9th inst.
After long circumbendibus about matters
and things in general, and some things in
particular, the meeting, which was organized
by A. ID. Wilson, as president, G. w. Mat
sell, vice president, and r. r. Jones and
John Windt, secretaries, voted as follows

will take high and firm ground against the
whole system OF monopolies; we certainly
hope so, both for his own sake and that of the

This is the FIRST time that it has been init.

that the demand comes from KENTUCKY,
and the Post appears much distressed for the
answer. That journal says:

a satisfactory answer on these points to the

made against him will be reduced to oues-
