It may be so re paired as to be occupied for a short time, but must soon be, bbandoned. 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 fit 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 numerous, 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,shewsthat in one of the five Provinces which are 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 formation of the.two West Indian Bishoprics, and the earnest endeavouts which are so wisely making for the 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, tha if the College at Windsor be not supported by the pious ndt 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 are 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 ments 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 tci the religious 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 its 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 bf educating for 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 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 dualshave 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 Philoz•ophical 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 .apparatu . of every kind, will be most thankfully received by Sir Scrape 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, 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. \The following Sums have been benevolently afforded for the commencement of a Contribution in behalf of King's College : His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury - £lOO 0 0 His Grace the Archbishop of York .: 100 0 0 The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel" 500 0 0 The Society for,Promoting Christian Knowledge 500 0 0 The Lord Bishop of London -- . 100 0 0 The Lard Bishop' of Durham ‘' ‘ 101) 0 0' The Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia . .; ' 100 0 O .

The following singular case is at present the subject of dramatic representation at one of our minor theatres. The narrative is extremely in teresting, as exemplifying that circumstantial evi dence, even when apparently the most conclusive, is not always to be relied upon as infallable. It happened in the year 1672. The reader will find the account of it in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1762. "In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, a person was nr , : ranged before Sir Ja:‘rEs DYER, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, upon an indictment for the mur der of a man, who dwelt in the same parish with the pri. soner. The first witness against him deposed, that on a certain day mentioned by the witness, in the morning, as he was going through a close, which he particularly described, at some distance from the path, he saw a person lying in a con dition that denoted him to be either dead or drunk ; that he went to the party, and found him actually dead, two wounds appearing in his breast, anti his shirt and clothes much stained with blood ; that the wound appeared to the witness to have been given by the puncture of a fork or some such instrument, and looking about he discovered a fork lying pear the corpse, which he took up, and observed it to be marked with the initial letters of prisoner's name ; the witness et the same time pro duced the fork in Court, which the prisoner owned to be his, and waved asking the witness any questions. " A second witness deposed, that, on the morning of the day on which the deceased was killed, the witness had risen early with an intention to go to a neighbouring market_ town, which lie named ; that as he was standing in the entry of his own dwelling-house ; the street door being: open, he saw the prisoner come by, dressed in a suit of clothes, the colour anti fashion of which the witness described; that lie (the witness) was prevented from going to market, and that afterwards the first witness brought notice to the town, of the death and wounds of the deceased, and of the prisoner's fork tieing , found near the corpse; that upon this report the prisoner was apprehended, and carried before a Justice of the Peace, whom lie named and pointed at the being then present in Court; that lie (the witness) followed the prisoner to the Justice's house anti attended his exami nation,' during which he observed the exchange, of raiment which the prisoner had made since the time when the wit. ness had first seen him in the morning; that at the time of such examination the prisoner was dressed in the same clothes which lie had on at the time of the trial, and that on the witness's charging him with having changed his clothes, he gaVe ,several shuffling answers, and would have denied it ; that upon the witness's mentionidg this circum stance of the change of dress, the Justice granted a war rdnt to search the prisoner's house for the clothes described by the witness as having been put off since the morning ; that the witness attended and assisted at the search, and that after a nice inquiry for two hours • and upwards, the very clothes which the witness had described were discovered con cealed in a straw bed. Ile then produced the bloody clothes in court, which the prisoner owned to be his chithes, and to have been thrust into the straw bed with are intention to conceal them, on accotrwt of their being bloody. " The prisoner' also waved asking thia• second witness a ny questions. " A thifd witness deposed to his having heard the prisoner deliver certain menaces against the deceased, from whence the ,prosecutor intended to infer a proof of malice prepense. In an swer to which the prisoner proposed certain questions to the Court, leading to a discovery of the occasion of the menacing expressions deposed to, and from the witness's answers to those questions, it appeared that the deceased had first menaced the prisoner?. ?? The prisoner being called upon to make his defence, ad- dressed the following narration to the Court, as containing all he knew concerning the manner and circumstances oflthe death of the deceased,viz. "That he rented a eiose in the same parish • with deceased, and that the deceased ferited another close ad. joining to it. That the only way to his own close:WU through that of the decased,:and that on. roe day the murder in thein dictinent was laid to be committed, he rose early in the mom: ing, in order to go to work in his close, with his fork in - his hand, and passing through the deceased's ground, he observ ed a, man at some distance from the path, lying down as if dead or drunk,•• that he thought himself bound to see What condition the: person was in, and upon getting up to . ,him he found him at the last extremity, with- two wounds in • his breast,; from which a great deal of blood had issued,. that, in order to relieve him ha raised him up, and with great difficulty set him in his lap--that he told the deceased he was greatly concerned at his unhappy fate, and the more so as there seemed , to be too much re:: on to apprehend he had. been murdered—that he entreated the deceased to discover, if possible, the occasion of his misfortune, ass - tiring him .he would bl se his utmost endeavours to do justice - to his suf ferings t . that the deceased seemed to be sensible of whit he said, and in the midst of his agonies attempted, as he thought to speak to him,' but being seized ruffling in his throat, after a hard struggle, he gave a dreadful groan ~and vomit ing a great deal of ,blood, somevf which fell on his (priXtier's) clothes, h e . expired in his arms ; ' that the shock he. felt on ae count f this accident was not t o be e xp resse d, an d tha s r a the r as it was well knoVitt that there had been a differenCe between the deceased and himself, on which account he might possibly be suspected of the murder; that he thereibre thought it advi: sable to.loave the deceased in the condition he was, and to take no . farther notice of the matter ; that, in the confusion he was in when he left the place, he took away the deceased's fork. and left his own in theroom of it, by the side of the corp se ;- th a t being obliged to gO to his work, lie thought it best to shift his clothes, and that they might not be seen, he confessed he hatl hid them in the place where they were found • that it was true he had denied before the justi ce th a t h e h a d dianged his clothes being conscious that this was an ugly' circuinstance.that might be urged against him, and being unwilling to be brought into trouble if he could help it; and - concluded his story with a Xo - - - lemn declaration that he had related nothing but the truth', without adding or diminishing one tittle, as he Should answer it 'to God Almighty.' Being then 'called on to produce his nesses, the prisoner •answered with a steady composed counter nance and resolution of voice, • II ehad no witness but God and his . own conscience.' " The Judge then proceeded to deliver his charge, at which' he pathetically enlarged on the heinousness of the crime, and laid great stress on the force of the eviden ce , w hi c h, although circumstantial only, he declared he thought to be irresistible, and little inferior to the most positive proof; that the prisoner had indeed cooked up a very plausible story, but if such, or the like allegations, were to be admitted, in a case of this kind, no murderer would ever be brought to justice, such bloody deeds being generally perpetrated in the dark, and with the greatest secresy ; that the present case was exempted, in his opinion, from all possibility of doubt, and that they ought not to hesitate one moment about finding the prisoner guilty. " The foreman begged of his Lordship, as this was a case of life and death, that the Jury might be at liberty to with draw, and, upon this motion, an officer was sworn to keep the Jury. _ _ " Tliis trial came on the first in the morning, and the judge having sat till nine at night, expecting the return of the jury; at last sent an officer to inquire if they were agreed in their ver dict, and to signify to them that his Lordship would wait no longer for them. Some of them returned for answer that eleven of their body had been of the same mind from the first, but that it was their misfortune to have a foreman that proved to be a singular instance of the most inveterate 'obstinacy, who hav ing taken up a different opinion from them, was unalterably fixed in it. The messenger was no sooner returned, hut the complaining members, alarmed at the thoughts of being kept under confinement all the night, and despairitt of bringing their dissenting brother over to their own way of thinking; agreed to acceed to his opinion, and having acquainted him with their resolution, they sent an oiliCer to detain his Lordship a few minutes, and then went into Court, a nd by th e i r f orem a n brought in the prisoner not guilty. His Lordship coald not help expressing the greatest surprise and indignation at this un.: expected verdict, and, after giving the Jury a severe admoni tion, he refused to record their verdict, andNent them back again, with directions that they should he locked up all night ; without fire or candle. The whol e bl ame was p u blicly laid on the foreman by the rest of the members, and they spent the night in loading him with reflections, and bewailing their unhappy fate in being associated with so hardened a wretch ; but he re: maimed quite inflexible, constantly declaring he would Suffer death, rather than change his opinion. " 4 As soon as his Lordship came into-Court the next morning; he sent again to the jury, on which all the eleven members joined in requesting their foreman to go again into Court, as.: suring him they would adhere to their former verdict, whatever was the consequence, and, on being reproached with their former inconstancy, they promised never to desert or recrimi.; nate upon their foreman any more. Upon these assurances; they proceeded into Court, and again brought in the prisoner not guilty. The Judge, unable.to conceal his rage at a verdict which appeared to him in the most iniquitous light, reproached them with the severest censures, and dismissed them with this cutting reflection. That the blood of the deceased,lay at their door. " The prisoner, on his part, fell on his knees; and with uplifted eyes and hands, thanked God for his deliverance; and addressing himself to the judge,- cried out You see, my Lord, that God and a good conscience are the best of wit.: messes. " These circumstances made a deep impression on the mind of the judge, and, as soon as he was retired from court, he entered into discourse with the High Sheriff, upon what had passed, and particularly examined him as to hit knowledge of this leader of the Jury. The answer this gentleman gave his Lordship was, that he had been acquinted with him many years—that he had an estate of his own of above ttl/1. per •annum, and that he rented a very considerable farm , besides— that he never knew him charged with anill action, and that he was universally esteemed in his neighbourhood. " For further information his Lordship like Wise sent for the minister of the parish,- who gave the same favourable account of his parishioner, with this addition, thit lie was a constant churchman, and a devout communicant. " These accounts rather increased his Lordship's perplexity, from which he could think of no expedient to deliver himself, but by having a conference in private with the only person who could give him satisfaction. This he desired the Sheriff to procure, who readily offered his services, and without delay brought about the desired interview. " Upon the Juryman's being introduced to the Judge, his Lordship and he retired into a closet, where his Lordsip opened his reasons' for desiring that visit, making no scruple of acknowledging' the Uneasiness' he was under, and conjuring his visiter frankly to discover his reasons for acquitting the pri soner. The Juryman returned for answer that he had sufficient reasons to justify his conduct, and that he was neither afraid nor ashamed to reveal them, but that he had hitherto locked them up in his own breast, and was under no compulsion to disclose theta, he expected his Lordship would engage-upon his honour to keep what he was about to unfold es secret as he hirsi self had done ; which his Lordship having promised to do, the Juryman then proceeded to give his Lordship the following account That the deceased being titheman of the parish where he (the juryman) . lived, he had, thelmorning of his de cease, been in his (the juryman's) grounds a mon gs t hi s c o r n, and had done him great injustice, by taking more than his due, and acting otherwise in a most arbitrary manner. That when he complained of this treatment, he had not only been abused with scurrilous language, but that the deceased had likewise struck at him several times with his fork, and had actually wounded him in two places, the seats of which wounds he then showed his Lordship.—that the deceased seeming bent on mischief, and he (the juryman) having no weapon to defend himself; had no other way to preserve his own life, but by clos ing in with the deceased, and wrenching the fork out of his hands, which having effected, the deceased attempted to re cover the fork, and in the scuffiereceived the two wounds,which had occasioned his death—that he was inexpressibly con cerned at the accident, and especially when the prisoner was taken up on suspicion of the murder—that the former assizes being but just over, he was unwilling to surrender himself, and to confess the matter, because his farm and affhirs would have been ruined by his lying in a gaol' so long ; that lie was sore to have been acquitted on his trial, for that he had consulted the ablest lawyers upon the ease, who had all agreed, that as the deceased had been the aggressor, he would only be guilty of manslaughter at the most—that it was true he had suffered .greatly in - ' his own mind on the prisoner's account, but being well assured that imprisonment would be less ill consequence to the prisoner than to himself, he bad suffered the law to take its course—that in order to render the prisoners confinement as easy to him as possible, he had given, him every kind of assist ance, and had wholly supported his family ever since—that in order to get him cleared of the charge laid against hint, he could think of no other expedient than that of procuring him self to be summoned on the Jury, and set at the head of them, which with great labour and expence he had accomplished, hay.. big all along determined in his own breast, rather to die himself than suffer any harm to be done to the prisoner. " His Lordship expressed great satisfaction at that account, and after thanking him for it,-and making this further sti pulation; that in case his Lordship should happen to sur vive him, he might then he at liberty to relate this story„ that it might be delivered down to posterity, the conference broke up.. " The Juryman lived 15 years afterwards; C. J. DYER in, quired after him every year, and happening to Survive him, de livered the above relation." PitjcP, SEvErcrr:Ncr ROBBERY AT THE AIi;CTION The following circumstaricog, which •compre . - - hend what occurred before the Prefect of Police at Paris, on. the subject of .. the robbery of Mr. Rober=tson, at the Auction. Mart, will fully explain the nature of the transactions which took place after the four 1,0001. notes diSappefutd. • Mr. Robertson,' some - time after the robbery, learned that one of his notes was stopped at . the Bank,.tYbere It had been presented by a respectable Irish gentleman, who, without he-' sitation, stated that he had received it of Monsieer Chauvica, at the Palais Royale, a money-ch a n g e r . Thi s no t e WS ihunbered 303. Mr. Robertson immediately set off for Pane', and employed an interpreter to attend him to the Prefect of Po-• lice. fie had taken with him several letters from Lord Gren-• vine, and other men of rank, to,oine of the members of the, French Government, requesting, ti:eir interference to facilitate the detection of the robbery. The interpreter, who was not acquainted with the name' of the party to whom the note had been traced, upon making inquiry about the Palais Royale, learned that a money-changer, named Emericque, had a note for 1,000/. which had been stolen 'in London. It afterwards proved, very much to Mr. Robertson's surprise, - that two of notes, s .Nos. 304 . and 303, were thus likely to be obtained.; -. and the Prefect of the Polict-immediately undertook to inves- - tigate the case. `Emericque, money=changer,' No. 20, Palais Royal; made a declaration, of which the following is the substance That about the middle of May last, two Englishmen, ac companied by a young man (also English) who acted as inter= preter, came to . his 'shop, and offered a thousand. pound bank note for sale; that after haggling smite' tithe about the price, they went away, saying they might return in a few days ; that a few days afterwards they did return, during the absence of Emericque, and offered the note to his wife, who, after some demur, purchased it ; for 25;000 francs. Ou Entericque's rem turn home his wife mentioned what she had done, and he, on looking at the number of the note, discovered - it to be one.of those mentioned in the printedbills. Emercique was much embartasstd by this circumstance, and immediately applied to 111 r. Rothschild for his advice.—(l'lr. Rothschild appears to have declined all interference in the business, intimating that he had been requested: to circulate the notices of - the rob= bery, but thought he was not bound to take any steps in pur= suing the thieves.).A day or two after this Entericque's wife observed one of the men who sold the note passing the shop. EMericque immediately ran out, and asked. hint if he had. net sold him a note for 1,0004 saying at the Sante time, that the note was stolen, and the money must therefore be returned. The man at first denied all knowledge of the affair, but on Emericques' insisting said,• " Do you take me for a robber ? and insisted that the note was a good one, and that ht: had re ceived it from his banker in England, adding, at the same time, that he was willing to take hack the note and return Emericque the money. Emericque was not able to produce the note immediately, having deposited' it with his bankers, and it being too late to procure it from them that day. In order, however, not to lose sight of the Englishman, he accompanied him to his hotel, (r Hotel de Valois, rue de Richelieu) : on ar= riving at the hotel, the Englishman without any preface placed. 25,000 francs in the hands of the mistress of the hotel, desiring her to pay them' over to Entericque on his deliverin g to her a Bank note fo r 1,000/. 'Th e E ng li s h Man l e f t Paris that night. The following'd a y t h e money was p a id over to Eme ricque, on his giving up the note. • The declaration of Monsieur Ethericque then contains the names of the Englishmen concerned in this transaction, which are the sante as those Mentioned in the following memorandum given by the COmynissaire de Police to Mr. Robertson. Memorandum given to Mr. Robertson— The person who gave the note to 111. Emericque, the money= chalger; towards the middle of last May, is Mr, Yyse, calling himself the brother-in-law of Mr. John Palip, both established in London, and keeping there a straw-hat shop. The person who returned to M. Emericque, through the hands of the mis. tress of Motel de Valois, the value of ttie note, is Mr. John PalM. Mr. John Palin set out the same day from this hotel for England. Vyse, jun., who seas boarding at the end of the . Fattbonig St. Martin, was with him: Emericque told the Corinnissaire de Poltee, though it is not stated in the declaration, that the number of the note received. by hiin was 302. Monsieur Chauvica's dealing was, as far as we could learn, with a person not known to him, who applied to him merely as a money-changer, and received the value of the note No. 303. It is certain , however, . that he had previo us ly rece i ve d not i ce from 111 r. Rothschilde that it was a s t o l err note. Mr. Robertson Uponindemnifying the Bank, will receive the amount-- The Irish gentleman who received it from Chauyica has an undeniable claim upon the money -changer, who must look after the person whom he accommodated with change for the. stolen note. 'There was a refereke made by Mr. Harmer on Saturday to the evidence of Emericque and his• wife, and Madame Marcel. He wished to know why those persons were not produced ; to which Mr. Nobler, the solicitor for the prosecution, replied, that he was of opinion, and he was borne out in that opinion by able professional men, that the presence of the French witnesses was not necessary at the Mansion house, although it probably would be before the Grand Jury. Application was - made to the Secretary of State, to request the Erench authorities to' interfere, in order to ensure the ap= pearance of Monsieur and Madame Emericque, and Madame Marcel, to give evidence at the Old Bailey. The Secretary has, we understand, written to the French Government upon the subject, and expects - an answer daily. Cunious LUNATIC.—An Inquisition was last week held at the White Hart Inn Salisbury, to inquire whether a gentleman of property, named Sackville Burroughs, Esq. was or was not adunatic. Mr. Sackville Burroughs (the luna tic) stated, that the people in the house had been using Coercive measures with him; that they wished to take away his pro perty; that he hada large sum of Money, from 20R to 300,0001. in Paris, sent there by Mr. Corms, in case he should be arrested while on the Continent; that he had been in Parliament for Preston, in Lancashire, and had been voted a , Peer of the Realm. Dr. Finch; in describing the incoherent notions of Mr. Bur roughs, said, among other things, when he first came to me, the Duke of Wellington was an object of his revenge. He said he had been persecuted by him on account of his having greater in fluenee'in the country than the Duke, and on account of his pro-- motion. Ile then changed the subject from the Duke to Lord Liverpool, and said, if he had an opportunity, lie would kick them, and shoot them, a nd b e revenged on th'cm. About a fortnight ago, Lord Radnor and Lord Folkestone.w ere objects of his revenge. He believes in supernatural agency, and fancies that the secrets of the Cabinet are conveyed to him thereby. He says that the Ministers have given 5,000/. each to Lord Folke stone and others to rat. He told me he had- bee n elamining Dr. Rees's Cycloptedia, and found that nine things in tea Were wrong. He said Dr. Rees, called a ship a machine ; but he called k a piece of a machine, made up of sympathy. I asked him how an inanimate thing could be capable of sympathy.? He answered, in the same manner as the wool of a coat sym. pathised with the sheep from which it was taken. Ile famiieS himself a Peer of the _Realm, and has with his - peerage from l to 310,0001. • • , Dr. Grove examined--I had some conv ersa ti on w ith him about the Cabinet Ministers. He said Lord Liverpool and Lord. Grey, under the sanction of the King,. had murdered Mr• Per ceval. tasked him how he knew ? He said he had sectct in telligence that a man at Mr. Warburton's had provided the pis tol. He said all his meat was drugged ; it had a great effect upon his constitution, and made him as rampant as . a bull. He said he had a large sum of money left him by the will -of. Mr. Coutts ; that he was in the possession of Yontbilk which he in, tendedao sell, He talked of starting a stage-coach from Fiznit hill to. London, and said he knew he should lose 2,0001. a,year by it, but still he would start it. He also said he was a Peer of the Realm, and sat in the House of Commons; that he had a privilege of sitting ih either House. He abused Rees': Cycic. pceditz, and said he could write a better in 'a few weeks. Ile also abused Lord Pembroke. He told me he was-not mad, but was confined hy.Government on account of opposition to the Minis ters. He also told me many other things, but he spoke so inco herently I could not follow him. Richard Noyes, Esq. was examined—His evidence was' to the same effect. Ile considered Mr. Burroughs as a confirmed, lunatic. The Jury decided that he Wai . of " . uniound mind, Without lucid intervals."
