The North Carolinian

N. C. University.—We return our thanks to Daniel W. Johnson of Richmond county, (member of the Senior Class,) for a "Catalogue of the University of N. C., for 1855-'6." It contains much valuable information to those interested in the institution. By it we learn that the Hon. Henry Potter, of Fayetteville, is the oldest member of the board of Trustees, he having been appointed in 1799. The board of Examiners for 1856 consists of Hon's. J. M. Morehead, W. A. Graham, Giles Mebane, Esq, Rev. Cushing B. Hassell, and Col. Walter I. Steele. The Annual Commencement is on the first Thursday in June. There are at present 380 students—from North Carolina 365, Ala. 25, Tenn. 23. Miss. 21. Texas, La., Va. 8 each, S. C. 7. Ga 4. Fla., 3. Ark. and Iowa 2 each, Cal., Ky., Mo. and New York 1 each. From Cumberland county there are 7, Bladen 7, Robeson 6. Richmond 5, Sampson 3, Moore 2, Montgomery 1—&c. The annual expenses of a student is $186 to $227. Books cost about $50. more or less. From the Catalogue we extract the following:

"Every student is required on his arrival at the commencement of each session, to deliver to the Bursar, (Prof. Mitchell,) the moneys and drafts for money which he has brought with him.

It is the duty of the Bursar to attend to the settlement of the demands for board, &c.; to pay into the hands of the student such sums as are required for other necessary expenses; and to render a statement of the same to the parent or guardian at the close of the session.

The Faculty are authorized in all cases, where the applicant is a native of the State, sustains a fair and moral character, is believed to possess good talents and studious habits, and is unable to defray the expenses of tuition and room rent, to admit him, free of charge, into any class for which he may be prepared."
