THE UNIVERSITY OF KING'S—COLLEGE, AT WINDSOR, IN NOVA SCOTIA. T ° every one who feels an interest in the moral and religious improvement of his fellow-creatures, the following brief details, with regard to a very important por tion of the North American Colonies, are presented with much respect and confidence. The Province of Nova Scotia was erected into an Episcopal See in 1787, and the established religion of the Church of England thus assumed there that prominent and permanent character to which it is so well entitled, both by the soundness of its doctrines and the Godly excellence of its Liturgy and Discipline. To preserve those doctrines, and that Liturgy and Discipline, in their unabated purity, it seemed necessary, at the same time, that the means of a right religious education should be provid ed, both for those who were to teach, and those who were to be taught the holy principles of our Church—that so they might live and die hi the faith and hope of their forefathers. For this purpose, the University at Windsor was established, and called Kirg's College, as a testimony of gratitude to the kindness and piety of his late Majesty King George 111. under whose sanction, and by whose charter it was principally formed.

A fer t vessas were driven on shore, and the wharfs sustained a good deal of injury, but that was all. At St. Croix they have not been so , fortunate; all the estates there more or less have been in -. jured. The damage to property in gendal is estimated to be very great, and the shipping suffered much. Several vessels with sugar on board have been lost. it is believed that the loss the planters have experienced will retard the present and probably the ensuing crop. The hurricane was felt in its greatest fury at Basseterre, Cuadaloupe, and was attended there by an earthquake. It is reported that most part of the ' bifildings on the sea-shore have been destroyed; that all the vessels are lost there, and that between 400 and 500 persons haVe perished. From Porto Rico we learn that the whole of that island has suffered incalculable injury. . The fine crop of coffee has disappeared, and all the Vessels rotind the island are either lost or on shOre; amongst the former are three or four German vessels, some with and some without c:rgoes.--; An immense number of houses have been destroyed."

A plan of instruction so wisely framed could not fail of -.rov ing highly beneficial ; and the College has in fact brought up in the principles of sound learning and a religious education, not only the young men of Nova Scotia and the adjoining Cv levies, but also children of English residents in the neighbour ing States of America, who had inherited from their parents an attachment to our venerable Church.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE AGENT TO LLOYD'Sr AT MO NTSERRAT,. DAT ED .7 l; 1. T 29. " I regret to state, that on the 26th inst. we experienced a most violent gale of wind from the S.E., not varying a point either Way during the time of its continuance. It commenced about a quarter before eleven A.m., and continued increasing till half. past two, when it was at its height : there has been consider able damage done to the shipping. The inail.:boat arrived this Morning from the leeward—reports great injury has been done at St. Kitt's and Nevii ; but I could obtain no particulars. The damage has been most serious on the estates : most of the windmills have been much injured, and the negro provisions have been destroyed, which is the most serious loss on the island, as a great deal of time N allotted to plant provisions, to save purchasing corn, meal, flour, &c. The early canes for next year are most of them torn out by the roots, and the re• mainder of the present crop is destroyed, as it will be some weeks before the mills can be.replaced, if ever there be sutli. cient timber for the purpose on the island, and by that time the canes will be rotten and unfit to make sugar." The following are extracts from the St. i'homtss'a Timer of the 1d ult.:— But the principal blessing which this University has been, under God, the instrument of communicating to the Christian world, is to be found in the exertions of many pious Ministers of the Gospel, whom it has sent forth qualified, at far as hu man means could qualify them, for the discharge of those ardu ous and holy duties, which, when speaking of the Clergymen of these North American Provinces, can be considered in no other light, and called by no other name, than the labours of the Christian Missionary. And the said COMMISSIONERS at.° give further notice, That Certificates forthe value of the said Tickets will he deli vered out on THURSDAY the instant, at Noon, after which the said COMMISSIONERS will take in and enter Ticliets in their usual Monthly entry; and all persons art desired to observe they gust bring duplicates of their Lists when they come for their Certificates. Men equally learned, and of equal zeal, might perhaps have been obtained from the Universities of England; but men of equal experience, and equally contented with their peculiar sphere, men equally acquainted with the habits of the people, and equally attached to the country in which they were con tinually to preach and dwell, the Universities of England could never have furnished. _ _ _ The COMMISSIONERS also give further notice, That a Bond of Indemnity must be entered into by two resp e ctable Housekeepers (to be approved by the said COMMISSIONERS), together with the person entitled to the value of any Ticket or Tickets which _may have been lost, or to any Ticket or Tickets the Checks of which'may have been turn or destroyed, before the Commissioners can grant Certificates for the same; and that, in case of a lost Ticket, an Affidavit must also be made of the circumstances attending the loss of the same, before one of the Honourable Barons of his Majesty's Court of Exchequer. Such was the origin, and such has been the past usef u l ness of the University of Nova Scotia ; but it is now unhappily be coming daily more inadequate to effect its admirable objects from several causes. 1. A temporary wooden building was all that, in the first foundation of the College, it was deemed necessary or practi cable to raise: and that building, from a want of funds to ob viate the progress ofgradual decay, has naturally, in the course, of nearly forty years, fallen into such a ruinous state, that it can no longer be inhabited without extensive repairs, and is so far gone as to be unworthy of being restored. It may be so re paired as to be occupied for a short time, but must soon be abandoned. TEE E CHURCH.

That the Deli►•eries are to commence on and for the 85th day of October next; that Proposals in writing, sealed up, and marked "Tender for Army Supplies," will be received at this Office on or before Tuesday, the ...nth day of Sep., tember, but none will be recuited after Twelve o'Cloek on that Day. Proposals must be made separately for each County, and Island, except for the Counties comprising North and South Wales, all of which must be included in one Tender; like wise the Islands of Alderney, Guernsey, and Jersey; as also the several Counties in North Britain; and each Proposal must have the Letter which is annexed to the Ten der properly filled up, by Two Persons of knoWn Property, engaging to become bound with the Party tendering, in the Amount stated in the printed Particulars, for the due per, formance of the Contract ; and no Proposal will be noticed unless made on a printed Tender, and the Prices expressed in words at length; and should it so happen that during the continuance of the Contract no Troops should. be supplied by virtue of the same, the expence of the Stamps on the Con tract and Bond, paid in the first instance by the Contractor, shall be refunded to him. Particulars of the Contracts may be had upon application at this Office, between the hours of Ten and Foui, and of the Barrack-Masters in the Isrands of Guernsey, Jersey, and Man ; and as several : Alterations have lieen made in the Printed-Particulars, which Alterations are printed in Italic, it is requested that Persons making Tenders will carefully at tend.to the same; - P.S. Samples of the Bread and Meal may be seen at this Ottice between the hum s, ut Twelve.and 2. But even were the building in a Mote perfect condition, is now no longer sufficiently large to accommodate the increas ing number of students, or fit for the dignified purpose to which it is appropriated, as the established University an very rising Colony. The population of the DioCese of Novi Scotia is becoming daily more numerous, and the demand for a liberal education is, in consequence, proportionally enlarged. Alen of sound reli gious principles and extensive acquirements are wanted for every department, but particularly for the ministry in the Church of Christ. An official Report, just received,shews that in one of the live Provinces which aro included within the Diocese, only six teen Clergymen are scattered over the immense extent of 27,000 square miles, where the population is increasing wonderfully every year. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel has, at this moment, occasion for more than fifty additional Missionaries in the North American Colonies alone; and the forrhation of, the two West Indian Bishoprics, and the earnest endeavours which are so wisely making for the spiritual instruc tion of the Negro slaves, are likely to render King's College of still more importance and use. • They certainly render its pre sent building and its present means, altogether unfit and unequal to answer its present and probable future opportunities of doing good. 3. Without any imputation of improper hostility to other forms of doctrine and Church government, it may be . fairly stated to those who love their own holy faith and discipline, that if the College at Windsor be not supported by the pious and benevolent; an Atachinent to the principles of the Church of England and of our happy Constitution must, in Nova Scotia, decline. There are other establishments rising up, which are not conducted upon the same principles, and 'hal them even the children of the members of the Church of Eng land must, if this university fall, be compelled to derive their education. Or, if they do not resort to the dissenting establish ments of Nova Scotia, 'they must gather their knowledge iintt form their sentiments in the Republican Colleges of the United States of America. Thus nurtured and instructed, it is natural to conceive.that they will imbibe qpinions which are any thing but favourable to the religions and political institutions of Eng. land. It is impoSsible to blame others Who conscientiously endea vour to propagate their own views of the Gospel and govern ment, even where they differ from our own ; but surely if we have any reverence for our own, or any real belief in their truth and excellence, we must conscientiously contribute t 6 prevent the utter ruin of an University, which is their principal Support in a very important Province of the empire. NVe shall do our utmost to provide a sound Episcopal _branch- of the Church of Christ in America, with the means of educating fin' itself,''what it so greatly wants, a succession of sound Episcopal ministers. Impressed With these considerations the Society for the Pro.; pagation of the Gospel haS founded scholarship for the educe.; tion of Clergymen, and granted 5110/. to relieve the exigencies of the College. The Society for Promoting Christian Know ledge has also made a donation of 5001. for the religious objects of the Institution; and several tl4tinguished duals have followed the example. But to give tome temporary repair to the present Building.; so that it may be used until another is completed ; to engage in the erection of a new and sufficient edifice; to provide ad.: ditional Professors, Tuiors, and Scholarships; to furnish the necessary Philosophical Apparatus and Book's ;—these are ob jects, to which the Subscriptions already received are extremely inadequate. It is,' therefore, to enlarge these funds, and procure additional Subscriptions and Donations • from the liberality of those who are interested in the progress Of science and the pro pagation of sound religious, and moral, and political principles, that the Governors of King's College have ventured tti make an appeal which they are sure may be properly, and hope Will not be unsuccessfully made. Contributions in money, books, and philosophical aparatu of every kimtl, will be most thankfully received by Sir Scrope Bernard Morland, Bart. M.P., 50, Pall Mall, who has been the kind Agent of King's College for many years. Other friends of the Institution, in different places, V. 411 forward the object of this Address, and supply information to those who may re- quire it, During his short 'stay in England, the Bishop of Nova Scotia will gladly aflbrd this information, upon application to him at 200, Piccadilly. It may likewise be obtained from the Secre tary.to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, 42, Castle. ttreet, Leicester-square; from the Secretaries to the Society for Promoting 'Christian Knowledge ; Lincoln's-inn•Fielils ; and at Cambridge from the Lord Bishop of Bristol, anti the Rev. the Misters of Trinity and St.'John's Colleges.

Viscount DUDLEY, the Presi dent of the Society being in the chair. His Lordship opened the brisineli of the day in an appropriate and elegant speech.— He said,. that he felt a liVely interest hi the success of the So ciety, and that he had sincere pleasure in observing the union and harmony among Christiana of different denominations, which it had been so eminently instrumental in promoting.— He was convinced that what is of the most importance for human beings to know in the Sacred volume, is the moot plain and intelligible; and that, although the poor and the unlearned May : not be able to interpret the glowing visions of Ezekiel, Or to coniptehend the abstract reasonings of the gteat Apostle af. the Gentiles, they cannot but derive un speakable benefit from perusing the .Divine histories of the Old Testament,. and the engaging narratives and the beautiful parables of the New and especially from listening to the holy preceptiaf the SaviOuri and from contemplating his pure and spotlets character, hii miracles, his sufferings, his death, and his 'resurrection. He rejoiced in the means so generally and so successfully adopted for educating the humbles classes of the community, and for thus ensuring to them a participa tion in the blessings which are inseparable from an acquaint.: ance with the oracles of heavenly wisdom. The annual report was read by the Rev. Proctor Robinson. Several gentlemen afterwards addressed the meeting, among them, the Rev. A. Brandram, one of the Secretaries of the parent Society, the Revereud E. Burn, of Birmingham, the Reverend Dr. Brooker, and the Reverend Messrs. Bransby, Howells, Lowe, Dawson, and Sutcliffe.

The Chairman briefly stated the nature and progress of the institution. The Secre tary then read the report, by which it appeared that during the past year, this Society had paid into the fund of the parent Society upwards of 1,5001. since. itw establishment, and re ceived, a corresponding number of Bibles. After stating the success which had crowned the laboUrs of the institution, the report concluded by . Appealing to the : meeting to continue their exertions in a cause, the object of which was the exten sion and circulation of the Scriptures without note or comment. The Rev. ISAAC SANDERS, M.A., rector of St. Andrew's by the Wardrobe, and St. Ante's, Blachfriart, addressed the meeting, and Congratulated it that so goodly a company was present, for he had lately had the misfortime to behold a con siderable declension over the water—he did not mean as to the lack of contributions, but he alluded to the backwardness which tome evinced to attend on sin - tile: occasions with the present. The Rev. Gentleman exhorted the meeting to perse vere, until the Wish of the late King was realized by the sub jects of his son, viz. That every child in this• kingdom might be taught to - read the Bible.; and further, that every child who was capable might have a Bible to read." Like all Other institutions, there might be an opposition raised against its progress ; hut by whom ? By Carlile and his disciples ? But it woald be recollected, that one lately deceased, who possessed a noble and prolific mind—he meant the /ate Lord Byron—Ld on many occasions expressed himself satisfied of the divine,authority of the sacred volume, and the nioral and religious instruction which it contained. The Rev. Gentleman concluded an energetic address by reiterating the nectsSity of renewed .exertions. _ . _ G. if. THOANTOX, Esq. the Treasurer of the - Parent St)_ ciety, addressedthe .

CLAYTON, of Walwoith; and 'several other gentlemen, addressed the meeting, 'which was numerously tended, a great number of the auditors'beihg members 'ot the Society of .Friends. • All the Motions having been put, and cattied'unatiimonsly; the .meeting separated. . . " THE LATE GALE.—The arrival of the mail boat r. yeste. day has put us in posses s io n o f our files of Papers to a late date from the Windward Islands. The gale of the 26th appears to have been severely felt a t S t . Ki tt ' s. St. Martin's, Dominica, and Martinique, but of all the islands Guadaloupe apkitts to have been the greatest sufferer, and the dreadful havoc corn.; mined there is detailed, in the following extract of a letter from Basseterre, dated the 29th ofjuly, with which we haye been favoured " A dreadful calamity has just fell over our unfortunate town and the greatest part of the colony. A hurricane more dreadful than any mentioned in the annals of this island, has in a few hours changed Basseterre into a heap of ruins. On the 26th of this month, about nine o'clock in the niorhing, the most sinister warnings announced the approach of the desolating misfortune. The baroMeter fell several lines below the degree of storm, the wind blowing by squalls and whirlwinds—the overflow of the grass river, whose waters rose several feet above the parapet of the bridge, poured in torrents into the streets—is furious tide and earthquakes—the falling of the houses of the inhabitants and of the public buildings—the largest trees rooted Out, presented the most terrible sight, and which I cannot. think of without shuddering. " The country has equally suffered—the houses; works, the trees all the destroyed. Our unfortnnate town and its Vicinity (a ferir days ago so flourishing) presents now 'only a vast ruin. A multitude of people have been crushed by the falling of the houses, or carried away by the river. We are now about clearing away the rubbish, front Which 150 dead bodies have been already taken out, and arneng them some of the most notable people Of the island. In Basseterre more than 500 houses have heen Unroofed or entirely destroyed, and those remaining haVe suffered mote or less. " "The Government H ouse , t he P a l ace o f Justice, the Re gister Office, the Records, the Gaol, the beautiful hospital of St. Louis, the new Barracks, and the King's Stores, are entirely deitroyed or materially damaged; a part of the walls of Fort Richepanse ate thrown down, &c. " Government immediately issued orders to open theliar - -; hours of the colony.' " ST. KITT'S, JULY 21. A severe gale was experienced hete on Tuesday last, the effects of which have be e n ve ry i n j ur i ou s . E ar l y , in the morn ing the wind, which had been easterly, veered to about E.S.E.; and, towards noon, the weather assurned a terrible appearance, from which time to a late hour in the evening, it blew with un abating violence, With a high surf from the southward. The American brig Sarah, of Philadelphia, with a. small schooner and a sloop, were driven on shore in the afternoons; :the former so injured, as to cause her to be abandoned. The ship Bri tannia (for whose safety considerable fears were entertained, she having dragged so near in, as to almost touch), with the ship Ruth, and brig Egetia, of London, and ship Everthorpe, of Glasgow, rode out the gale. The following vessels . put to sea:— Snow Fortitude Increased, of London —returned hither yes terday afternoon. American brigs EdWard, from Newhaven, and Agenoria, of Kennebunk, now beating up for the harbour. American schooner Ceres, from Elizabeth City; returned this morning. Sloop Governor MaXwell, of this port; returned yesterday; and all of which, we b e li eve , are uninjured. The long-boat belonging to the Everthorpe, with five hhds. of sugar, was lost at Old Road, on Tuesday afternoon ; and we lament to add, that the seamen on board of her, four in number, were drowned. The sloop Gig, of this port, and a small hoop 'Called the Mary, of Anguilla ; laying at Sandy Point, wire driven on shore there; and we understand that one or two other small craft were lost at the out-bays.--( The Gazette.) DOMINIC t, JULY 27. • . . Yesterday mornin g we h ave aga i n been visited by one of those gales of wind which at this season of the year are so much dreaded. About seven o'clock A.M. the wind hrKan to blow with great violence from the northward, veering to N.W., and then to southward, till abont one o'clock P.m., when it began to abate. The damage done in this harbour and 'the out bays is distressing: The schooner Five Brothers, "Mildrum, of Neok London; and schooner Emilia arid Eliza,- Scull, from North Carolina, parted their cables, anti were driven on shore under Fort Young, and soon went to pieces. The .sloop St: JoXeph, Andre, and sloop Attalie, 'rand (droughers) lying in Wood- - bridge Bay, went ashore and are bilged. The sloop Venus, , Baker, and sloop Perseverance, Isaac, went ashore at Sof frere, and in pieces; and, the Caroline, Thomas: we hear, is;a complete wreck at St. Joseph's. A very large and valuable fat, belonging to Capt. Wilson, Was also lost. The brig Saulton, Dal rYmple, laden with produce, which was to sail the > arne day tor London, unfortunately was so near the shore that her stern struck the ground so heavily as to unship her rudder. The brig Peter Proctor, Brown, rode out the g a l e w ith out i n j ury. Tire schooner, Selina, ark, got under weigh at the com mencement of the gale ; and also the sloop Fox, Burton.-- Both of those vessels have returned to their anchorage this morn ing. It is also melancholy to relate, while' Mr. R. Giraud's people were out with Lis sean, in endeavouring to get to Rosettit ; the boat upset off Morne Daniel, and one than loit,.togethet with the boat and sean. We hive not as yet any particulars from the country of what damage has been sustained. Chronicle. ) BARBADOES, JUiY 26.
