Tevery one who feels an interest in th e JIL 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 in the faith and hope of their forefathers. For this purpose, the University at Windsor was established, and called King'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. The statutes of the College were drawn up after the model of those of Oxford; and still more effectually to secure the wel fare of the institution, it was placed under the patron a g e of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who has the power of a negative upon every statute, and under the Government of the leading official Personages in the Colony, whilst the important powers of Visitor were entrusted, with equal prudence and propriety, to the Bishop of the Diocese. A plan of instruction so wisely framed could not fail of urov. 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 Co lonies, 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. But the principal blessing which this University has been, under God, the instrument of communicating to the Christi= world, is to be found in the exertions of many pious Ministers of the Gospel, whom it has sent forth qualified, as 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. 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. Such was the origin, and such has been th e p as t use f 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, th a t i t 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 won be abandoned. 2. But even were the building in a more perfect condition, it is now no longer sufficiently large to accommodate the increas ing number of students, or tit for the dignified purpose to which it is appropriated, as the established University of a very rising Colony. The population of the Diocese of Nova Scotia is becoming daily more nuns-roue, and the demand for a liberal education is, in consequence, proportionally enlarged. Men 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 five Provinces which are included within the Diocese, only six_ tee. Clergymen arc scattered orcx : thcimmorseoortent 0e47,000 square miles, where the population i s 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 formation 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 unfitand 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 attachment 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 arc not conducted upon the same principles, and from 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 ; meats of Nova Scotia, they must gather their knowledge and 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 opinions which are any thing but favourable to the religious and political institutions of Ens. land. It is impossible to blame others who conscientiously endea vour to propagate their own views of the Gospel and govern merit, 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 to prevent the utter ruin of an University, which is their principal support in a very important Province of the empire. We shall do our utmost to provide a sound Episcopal branch of the Church of Christ in America, with the means of educating for itself, what it so greatly wants, a succession of sound Episcopal ministers. Impreased with these considerations the Society for the Pro pagation of the Gospel has founded scholarships for the educa. tion of Clergymen, and granted 5001. 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 distinguished indivi. duals have followed the example. But to give some 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, Tutors, and Scholarships ; to furnish the necessary Philosophical Apparatus and Books ;—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 to make an appeal which they are sure may be properly, and hope will not be unsuccessfully made. Contributions in money, books, and philosophical apparatus of every kind, will be most thankfully received by Sir Scrope Bernard 11 , 1orland, 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, will 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 afford 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-Fields ; and at Cambridge from the Lord Bishop of Bristol, and the Rev. the Masters of Trinity and St. John's Colleges.

Prizes, and when that is the case his Offices are more than usually fortunate. He Sold the First 30,0001. ever drawn—the Lest 30,0001. ever drawn—he Sold Three, 30,0001. Prizes in the last Ten Months. '['here never have been but two instances of Three 30,0001. Prizes in one Scheme —the first time Bisu Sold all the Three, and the next time he Sold Two out of the Three ; and he has Sold more than half of all the 30,0001. Prizes that have ever been, which has made it almost proverbial to class his name with 30,0001. Prizes; therefore he expects to have an unusually great Sale for the Four 30,0001. l'rizes, to be all Drawn in One Day, 6th December. Tickets and Shares are Sellirig at Bisit's Lucky Offices, 4, Cornhill, and 9, Charing-cross, Lond on ; and by his Agents throughout the Kingdom. EXPORTATION OP SOLI ECTl.—( Dublin,Oct.22.) —Yesterday, a cur i ous an d rat h er disgusting fact was disclosed in College street Police-office, Dublin. It seems, that for the last twelve months, a regular trade has been carried on be. tween this city and London, in dead bodies, which are sent there for the surgeons to dissect. A n order was procured yesterday from the Magis. trates for the burial of two or three bodies which were found packed up in one box, addressed to an Inn in London, with directions " to be left until called for." The stench which proceeded from the box in question, was the first intimatio n the Captain of one of the packets recited of what luggage he was about conveying to London. It is hoped that the persons concerned in this abominable traffic will be discovered. BELZONI. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, Stit—l am surf• you will agree with me in opi non that were a " subscription" set on foot and announced in favour of this amiable Lady, the Widow of the late Mr. BELzosit, the enterprizing Traveller, it would be attended with the most complete success ? The claim which BuLzosi substantiated to the consideration of Britons, by his enthusiastic and indefatigable research in distant lands in behalf of the noble cause of Science and Historical knowledge, on his death vested i►► the person of his widow; and I have the greatest confidence in a continuation of that benevolent spirit being in some degree extended to tier who was left, without protector or assistance, to struggle with untoward circumstances and difficulties of which Mrs. BELZONI has largely participated I I am sure a " Subscription" would be successful ; and I know that, the" Sun" feels infinite pleasure in extending its influence towards the further. ance of all deserving objects. Mrs. Ihr.tosl, both from the circumstance of her being the widow of the lamented Traveller now no more, and from the conviction that she possesses those virtues and amiable qualities which plead most powerfully in such a case, deserves the aid and assistance of every admirer of both : she will re ceive it, and her gratitude will prove the best re• ward which all who contribute towards her alle. viation can obtain. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, London, Oct. 96, 1826. PAUL PRY. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, 0cr.26. NUISANCE. rug LING v. THOMAS HALL. This was an indictment, prosecuted at the instance of the city of London, against the defendant, for a nuisance in keep ing a slaughter-house at No. 3.3, Warwick-lane, into which great numbers of oxen and cattle were constantly driven, to which carts with meat and offal were brought, and from which filth and blood issued, to the injury and annoyance of his Ma. jesty's subjects. There were two other indictments against other butchers, carrying on trade in the same lane, which also stood in the paper for trial. The case on the part of the prosecution, which was conduct ed by the ATTORNET-GEXTRAL and the City Counsel, was proved by numerous witnesses residing at Warwick-lane, Warwick-square, or its immediate neighbourhood, among whom was Mr. Alderman Crowther. According to their tes. timony, the defendant had resided in Warwick-lane, and had there carried or, a large business, for about 8 years, Previous to his time, the premises were used for slaughtering sheep and calves, but not oxen. A number of oxen were frequently driven into the preiniees to be slaughtered, and these succeeded by other detachments from the neighbouring market is Smithfield. Carts also were brought to take away the meat, hides, and offal, which, with the cattle, occasionally blocked up the road, and rendered it inconvenient to passengers. The cattle sometimes, being unruly, ran into Warwick-square, and an ox once forced itself half-way up the staircase of Air. Al derman Crowther in that place. The pavements were some times smeared and slippery with blood from the hides dragged across them ; and the smell arising from the blood and car eases was very often offensive to the neighbours. On the cross-examination of these witnesses, it appeared, that New gate-market and Smithfield-market were the property of the city I that Warrick-lane was immediately between them ; and that it was situated very conveniently for the slaughter of beasts, bought alive in the one, and to be sold by retail in the other. It also appeared that, some years ago, a prosecution was Mad. toted against several butchers of Warwick-lane, for a nuisance, which was abandoned on the erection of a sewer to carry off the blood, which had much diminished the inconveniences resulting from the blood, through the traffic in beasts, and the come. , quest obstruction, had gone on increasing. 31r. Alderman Crowther being asked by Mr. Scarlett how he had contrived to protect himself for so many years, excited much laughter, by replying, " I have always been particularly anxious to avoid every description of horned cattle." Mr. Scant.vrT (with whom were Mr. GURNEY and Mr. C. Plum-ire) addressed the jury for the defendant. He did not mean to contend that a slaughter-house was not offensive to modern senses and tastes; he said modern, for it was other. wise in ancient times, when 100 oxen were slaughtered at once, the priest sprinkled blood on the altars, and heroes did not disdain to kill their own cattle and dress their own dinner, To modern feelings, however, such a practice, even on a smaller scale, was no doubt unpleasant ; but still it did not follow assuredly that every slaughter-house was therefore an indictable nuisance. It might be well if men w ere p repare d to abjure the use of animal food, arid to live on the simple fruits of the earth ; but there existed at present an obstinate prejudice in favour of the roast beef of Old England and certainly of all bodies, corporate or politic, who would abst a in from enjoying it, he hardly expected the Corporation of Lon• don to be the first. What would become of Lord Mayor's Day, of the great feast in Guildhall, if all the slaughter houses were destroyed as nuisances ? Let the worthy Alderman, who had so gr ea t a horror of horned cattle, think of this and shudder I At all events, while the Corporation chose to con tinue Smithfield-market, which was not only a nuisance but a reproach, they ought not to prosecute those who slaugh tered the cattle purchased there at the most convenient spot. Would not the nuisance be increased, if the cattle were driven to greater distances about the streets of London ? In a large city, a compromise of inconvenience was often necessary to the general comfort; and the mere fact that any trade was un pleasant, or in itself noxious, was not sufficient to exclude it, if it was ge.neral.y beneficial in its results, and carried en at the place best adapted for its purposes. If the slaughter. houses were all removed to a distance from the metropolis, to Dartmoor or kialiebury-plain, for example—the population might follow them, as men had a disposition to be near to their meat; and then, according to the doctrine of the prosecutors, they would become nuisances. Now he could show that War. wick-lane, as long as man could remember, had been used for slaughtering cattle; and he believed it was ea used before the population withered around it t could those who chose to come to it complain ? The prosecution was very herd on Mr. Hall, who had, on a former occasion, contributed to build the sewer which was then required, and whom now the city forbade to continue his trade on any conditions. On his behalf, the anti quity of the custom would be proved ; its necessity would be shown ; and the care with which he exercised his business proved ; and on these proofs he confidently expected h verdict of acquitteL The Learned Counsel called witnesses to prove the antiquity of the custom of slaughtering beasts in Warwick-lane; but they proved, that though long ages sheep and calves were killed t th he e r ir e, m t e h m e o p r r y ace of slaughtering oxen had sprung up within The Loan Cnlltp J& s ere= then observed, that the fact did not sustain the defence opened, in which Mr. ScaittrrT ac quiesced, and the Jery found the defendant Goalty.

Enrroit—Strange as it may appear, the French Theatre had its origin in the songs lad canticles on the Passion of our Saviour, which were sung or recited by the pilgrims at their return from the Holy Land. As these rude per.; formances attracted general attention, the clergy of Aix, in Provence, caused a representation of histories, taken out of either the Old or the New Te4tarnent, to be represented in procession. During the reign of Charles VI. the pilgrims, finding how much their recitals were relished by the great mass of the people, formed themselves into several companies, and now dividing their narrations into some sort of acts and of scenes, allotted different parts to different persons.— The first attempt of this new society, entitled. ; The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, was re presented at St. Maur, a village in the vicinity of Paris. Although the performance was, at first, forbidden in the latter city, the pilgrims eventually obtained not only the sanction of Charles VI , but having now formed themselves into a Brotherhood, under the name of Frirei dela Passion de Notre Seigneur, this Monarch granted them, in 140'2, Letters Patent, autho rizing them to act in public, and to appear in the streets dressed in the habiliments suited to the characters, they intended to represent. Thus le. gaily authorized, they performed their Moralities or Mysteriesoot only in the capital,but throughout the kingdom, and failed not adding to their sacred representations, a force at the end to delight the audience. Thlt in these rude and unpolished times, these farces consisted only of vulgar and even obscene ribaldry, it Is easy to suppose. Still not only the mysteries themselves, but even the farce, now introduced throughout the greater part of the kingdom, in religious processions, whence originated so many profane, ridiculous and dis gusting shows, which formed the delight of a semi -barbarous age, but which a more polished and enlightened state of society very properly abolished. However this may be, even Francis who so justly merited the name of Father of French Literature, took so much delight in the performances of the mysteries and their ,scorn. panyingfuece, that by his letters patent granted in 1519, he confirmed to the Brotherhood, all the privileges conferred upon them by his pre. decessor. These Sacred Comedies had now amused the nation during the apace of about a century uad a half, when their arose in France another and a rival company, which assumed the singular name of Princes des Sots. It was composed chiefly of young men of rank, whose principal object was to expose and ridicule all the vices and follies of the age. With this new company, the Priree dela Passion united. They had hitherto repre sented their mysteries in a chapel belonging to the Fathers of the Trinity ; but when, by their union with the Princes des Sots, the performances presented a singular instance of sacred and pro fane, religion and politics, piety and obscenity, the reverend fathers unwilling to sanction such an outrage to decency, expelled time brotherhood ; who retired, first at the Hotel de Flanders, and subsequently at the Hotel de Bourgogne, which they purchased, and fitted up as a theatre, the first that had as yet existed in France. They soon after obtained the sanction of the Parliament of Paris, but upon the express condition, that laps ing aside every sacred subject whatever, they should represent none but such as were profane, yet of a lawful and decent nature. This being agreed to, the Parliament not only confirmed their privileges, but forbad any other persons to play any pieces whatever unless for the profit, or with the permission, of the Brotherhood if the Pas sion. These exclusive privileges were fully con firmed by letters patent which they obtained from henry 11. in 1559. And thus was a regular company of comedians established in France.— For, the Brotherhood having now amassed suffi cient wealth, transferred all their rights and prid vileges to other comedians, for a pecuniary con sideration. About the reign of Henry 111. There arose, however, another company, which assumed the denomination of Clerks of the Basoche, but they acted merely Moralities, in which the virtues and the vices were personified, encouraged by the patronage of the public, and profiting by the 're- taxed state of society, at this unfortunate period of the History of France, they soon indulged in the most bitter and unjustifiable satyre, in which neither sex nor rank were regarded. A band of strolling players made, indeed, their appearance at the fair of St. Germains, in the year 1596; but even though their representations were similar to those now exhibited at fairs, they were permitted to act only during the continu ance of the fair, and even to pay a Him of two crowns to the successors of the Brotherhood of the Passion. Upon the condition of paying to the Brother hood the sum of one crown for every representa. tion, another company regular of players was permitted to settle at Paris, in 1660. This new theatre had the honour of representing the ►rst play, Meliic , and afterwards the comedy of Le Mentear,both written by the great Corneille. And iu the year 1068, Louis 3;IV. having granted the equally celebeated Moliere permission to make a theatre of the Hal of t►:s Guards, in the Palace of the Louvre, this first favour of the Me uarch was followed, im 1660, by the further still most gracious permission of styling his company the Company of the King, A.
