THE UNIVERt•ITI OF' KING'S COIII,EGN, AT WINDSOR, IN NOVA SCOTIA. TO 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 Ahem unabated purity, it seemed necessary, at the some time, that the means of a right religiouS educati,ta should be provid ed, both for those who were to teach, and those who were to be taught the holy principles of our iurch—that so' they might live and die in the faith and hope of their forefathert. 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 nfterjhe model of those of Oxford ; and still more effectually to secure the' wel• Fare of the institution, it was 'placed under the patronage 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 prov 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 au attachment to our venerable Church. 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, as far as hu man means could qualify them, for the di , eharge 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 obtaiped from the Universities of England ; but men of equal experience, and equally contented with their peculiar sphere, men equally acquainted with the habit 4 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 the' past usefulness 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 of gradual 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. 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 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,shews that 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 of die 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 opportunitiesiof 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 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 I tepublican Colleges of the United States of America. Thus nurtured and instructed, it hiliatural to conceive that they will imbibe opinions which are any thing but favourable to 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 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 successioip - ot i 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 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 Slorland, 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 informatiou 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 hint at 200, Piccadilly. It may likewise he obtained from the Secre tary to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, 42, Castle street, 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 am the Masters of" Trinity Trinity and St. John's Coll The following.

Matthew Pratt, aged 36, a farmer at Breconbeds, in this county, was put to the bar, charged with having fired a loaded gun at his female servant, Hannah Greenwell, with intent to murder her, or do her some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Locx stated the case to the Jury as it was detailed in the following evidence : Hannah Greenwell said she had lived servant with the pri soner. On the 3d of April he came home about 12 o'clock at night; he was tipsy; her fellow-servant took his horse to the stable ; the prisoner asked after John Storey, a young man who used to keep the prosecutrix company with his knowledge ; she said he was not in the house ; he took down a gun, and. pro ceeded to search for him ; but not finding him, he came back to the kitchen, and said he would shoot her ; he presented the gun at her, but she concealed herself behind a projection in the wall, and the shot missed her, and lodged in the wall ; she put out her head after lie shot, and he seeing her, said, " Oh, she is not dead ' he then seized the muzzle of the gun, and swore he would take her life ; she rushed towards him, pushed him down and made her escape ; Jonas Smith, .her fellow-ser vant, came in, and she told him what happened ; prisoner, hearing Smith coming', jumped into bed, and concealed himself under the clothes ; she went into the house of a neighbour, named Gills, where she fainted.—Witness, on her cross-exami nation, said, that Storey had visited her for some time ; he had been with her from three o'clock until half-past eleven on the night in question ; her master had always been kind to her up to that night; a person named Turnbull had been using the. gun the night before, and she saw him draw the shot from it ;, her master might not have known that the gun was loaded when he took it down, as it usually remained unloaded. When she first went to Gill's house, she said the prisoner had shot John Storey; she was so agitated, she knew not what she said; when she recovered from fainting, she told him what really had taken place. He (Gills) said he (lid not hear the shot; she never told Gills that he would be examined about it, and that ' he must say he heard the shot she had. no conversation with him on theoubject until he came from Chester-le-street, where the parties went to be examined. Re-examined—Some plaister was knocked from the wall where the shot struck; and some shot were found_ on the ground; her master did not know that Turnbull had had the gun until after he had fired at her, nor had he any reason to suppose it was loaded at the time he took it down and present ed it at her. Jonas Smith dressed his master's horse . On the night in ques tion ; on returning to the kitchen he found the smell of gun powder, and saw the prosecutrix crying ; she said her master had shot at,her. Witness went on to detail a proceeding which took place between his master and him in the fields ; a pheasant got up, and his master desired him to take the gun and shoot it, saying, that as he was to pay him his wages, he was bound to obey him. The pheasant was shot, and his master, a few nights after, told him, thaeif he did not pay him 51. he would inform against him for shooting the pheasant ; he then said, " Well, if you'll say nothing aboutn3y shooting, I'll say nothing about the pheasant." Witness refused to make any promise, and then his master mounted his horse and left the house, swear ing.he would go and lodge informations at once. John Storey was called, and admitted his visits to the prose cutrix's, with prisoner's knowledge ; he heard a shot, when at the distance of 400 yards from prisoner's house, on the night in question ; he had gone away . because it was late, anti not be cruse he heard prisoner coming home. Charles Gills, a neighbour, corroborated that part of the prose cutrix's testimony which described her going to his house and fainting ; but added, that when mention was made of his •going to give evidence, she told him he must say that he heard the shot. He said he had not heard it, and she made no reply. Mr. Loci said that this was his case. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, he was of opinion no case had been made out sufficient to sustain the indictment, and if the Jury thought with him they would say so. From all they had heard, it was more than probable that the prisoner was ignorant of the gun being loaded, and only intended to frighten her. The Jury said they were of his Lordship's opinion, and pro nounced the prisoner Not guilty. Mr. Justice BAYLEY cautioned him against playing with fire-arms, loaded - or unloaded, in future. - ENGLAND.

HOLT stated the case, and Mr. Cooisox defended the prisoner. There was a gread deal of conflicting testimony on both sides. It being asserted, on the one hand, that the prisoner received no provocation; and, on the other, that he was attacked by the prosecutor and his brother, and only used his knife in stlf-defence. The facts of the case were these :—That the par. ties, who were pitmen in the neighbourhood, met at a public , . house, and one quarrel took place which led to another, and at length something like a general affray took place in the street, to which the scene of action was removed, in the course of which the prisoner inflicted several severe wounds on the neck, sides, thigh, and other parts of the prosecutor. His LORDSHIP summed up the case, and the Jury being of opinion that provocation had been given, acquitted the prisoner. Mr. Justice BAYLEY cautioned the prisoner against using a knife in such a way again; it was at at all times cowardly to do so. This closed the criminal business of the county. Air. Justice BAYLEY passes sentence in the morning. There was no capital conviction these Assizes. HEREFORD, TuRsDaY, Atm. 2. The As.izes for the county of Hereford commenced this day, at one o'clock.

ROBINSON. This was an action, brought in :pry pt;upelis, by a poor man, named Samuel WaltOrd, againat Mr. Robinson, Ch.rgy man and Magistrate of the county, tin false imprisonment. Mr. . TAUNTON (with whom .was Mr. RYAN), for the plaintiff, stated that the defendant had ordered Walford .to be COMM itted_ to. the cage. for mere insolent, expressions. addressed to hi mse lf; which co►ihl not. be defended, but. which.ditl'hot PRICE .SF,lrriNgriNC; g.tlly subject the speaker to such summary punishment ; and that the poor man remained in the cage severantomts. The constable, however, who was called to ,provOlie•q%.t, , c*, absolutely disproved it ;' for thttugh it appeared that the plaintiff; had been detained for the night, the . witness swore that Cotta merely .to prevent him from executing his thwat of further; in sulting Mr. Robinson, who gave no orders for his detentiop.. Upon this evidence the plaintiff' was nonsuited. Nr.• CAMPBELL begged to state, that Mr. Robinson, who was a gentleman more titan 70 years of age, so far fropv4i,tr4t, ing the imprisonment of the plaintiff; interfered in lti6,faysmr, and procured his release. LUBCOTT rurLurs. This was an action by Mr. Lurcott, a tradesman at.liconllu ster, who keeps a horse to be let to !tire, against .another trades man of the same town, for breach of contract relaiingto . the horse. The plaintiff, by his &aeration, alleged that tht:d'e. fendant hired his horse on .Friday, the lthh of February, to go to a- place called Docklow, six miles froM Leominster, and to ret:' rn ; instead of which, he drove him to Worcester and back. a distance of twenty-six miles each way, and so improperly treated him that he received considerable injury.. The defen dant pleaded a tender of 135., and the general issue' as to th:! rest of the claim. It appeared from the plaintiff's case, which was conducted by Mr. RUSSELL and Mr. RYAN, that the contract was made as stated in the pleadings, and that it was broken by the de-, fendant driving the horse in a chaise, which cons , . yad his wife and a friend to Worcester, and brought them back-on• the.Sa. turday.evening. It was further sworn that the horse, when returned, was lame, and was afterwards under the care of a farrier for five weeks. The damage done to the horse cn the cccasion was estimated by a witness at 101. Mr. l'aimaps, for the defendant, said. that as to the con: tract, the evidence was is sufficient to prove it that Ins. which had been tendered was sufficient to compem ate for the use nutee of the horse; that the injury, if any, was not attributable to the defendant, but the plaintiff's own boy, who rode the horse violently to water on the Sunday morning .and that 4 had ori ginally been worth but very little. Tile Learned Counsel - offered no evidence to diSprove the contract ; but he called a witness, who considered 12s. sufficient for the hire of .a horse for two clays; proved that on Sunday morning the horse was violently ridden ; and produced a groom, who thought it was never worth more than 121._ _ _ _ As the Learned Counsel for the defendant was addressing the Jury, and contending that the boy lamed the horse, one of the Jury stopped him by significantly saying—" Ay, but might not the hard driving have made him stiff, and so have made him easier to lame ?" Mr. Phillips observed on the interrup tion with some warmth, and in a few minutes another Jury. man said—" Ay, to be sure ; for my part I think the boy might have lamed him just as well." The Learned Judge then courteously requested the Jury to abstain from such ob servations in future. The Jury, after a long trial, returned a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages 11/. 45., giving 11. 4s. for the hire of the horse, and 101. for the damage. LEWES, A ua : 3. Henry hum, a deputed officer of the smuggling preventive service, was indicted, on Lord Ellenborough's Act, for mali ciously shooting at James Roper, with a loaded pistol, at Hag ings, on the 9th June last, with intent to murder him. Them were other counts, varying the charge. The last count charged the prisoner with maliciously wounding the prosecutor. The case proved on the part of the prosecution was this:— The prosecutor is a mariner, residing at Hastings. In the ever ing of the 9th June last a party of the town's people, of which he was one, assembled on Castle-hill, near Hastings, for the purpose of regaling themselves. with smoking and drinking spirits and milk, according to a custom which was stated to have obtained in the summer season. The party consisted of men, women, and children, to the number of about thirty. Ia order to light their pipes the men had procured candles in the town. About half-past nine o'clock the prisoner came upon the hill, and seeing the candles alight, exclaimed to the party, " What's the meaning of all this ?" The prosecutor replied, " There is no smuggling going on ; we are only en joying ourselves, smoking and drinking." The prisoner then said, "Put those lights out." The prosecutor observed, "I don't know about that." The prisoner, in a nine peremptory tone, continued, "Put the lights out, or I'll take one of you prisoner." The prosecutor repeated the observation, " Idon't know about that," and whilst he was in the act of light ing his pipe, the prisoner discharged his pistol at him, and lodged a ball, in one of his thighs. Incensed at this pro ceeding, some of the party attacked the prisoner, who be g an to retreat. He drew his cutlass, and cut right and left. to keep off the assailants. He was, however, immediately over powered, and was receiving very rough treatment, when. he called upon his assailants, as Englishmen, not to hurt him. —ln the scuffle a second pistol, which the prisoner had, went off and wounded him in one of the hands. By elis time some of the blockade men came up, when the prisoner charged them to fire. On of the men obeyed the command, and fired his pistol, which, however, did not take effect. They all swore solemnly that their meeting on the hill was solely for the pur pose of harmless recreation, and that they had no smuggling objects in view. It was also sworn that no provocation was given to the prisoner, and that he had deliberately cocked , his pistol and pointed it at the prosecutor. It was denied that any brands had been thrown into the air as a signal to smugglers. or for any other purpose whatsoever. The spot where.the party were regaling themselves was in front of the sea, and it.was.atl mitted that the lights might be visible to smugglers; if time were any on the look-out. Roper, on his cross-exatainaikm, admitted that he had been chased two. days before by, Lieut. Francillion, of the Preventive Service, when he was at see ; but fie defined answering whether he had thrown any thing overboard when the lieutenant approached his boat.. He-did not think himself bound to answer the question. These- were the leading circumstances of the case.- The prisoner put in a written statement to. the effect .thSt he had gone upon the hill in consequence of seeing the lights, which hediad reason to „suspect were made as signals in -aid of smuggling, in order to discharge his duty. When he arrived where the party was sitting, he was immediately attacked iby - several individuals, by some of whom he was struck ; .where-• upon, dreading that his life was in danger, he, in self-defence, and for no other purpose, discharged his pistol, . but with nu intention of injuring- any particular individual. Being un,atc companied by. any of his own people, -he was-in no condition to prove the truth of these facts, and could only-have resorto to the.testimonyof some of his assailants, who, from-their bias upon the-subject, could not be-relied upon as witnesses'in•his behalf. . He solemnly declared 'bathe had been first assailed!in the manner statci. and had been actually wounded in the-hand by a - pistol fired by-one of the smugglers. He submitted.. the improbabity of his having been the aggressor; ulterebinhe would necessarily have been-exposed- to the unequal odds of 20 to one. Lieutenant Francillton proved that he •had.ehase4 the prose cutor on the 7th of „hle, and just'imposite the Castle-Itilk-the latter threw something overboard, which.he suspected to coihist of contraband goods. The lights seen on the hill wouhlAtase been a gtiiite - to ; persona disposed to fish up any thing,.w4ich might haVel.been thrown into the sea at the spot where -Roper had been 'chased. An excellent character was given to the prisoner by lies fri.- perior officers, by whom he was described as a man of mild temper, humanity, and, general good conduct In the course of the trial it appeared that the evidence of the'• witnesses for the prosecution had been taken by thelowkrlerk of the borough of Hastings, when neither the iilayor•nortiny other Magistrate was present, and that the witpens6B NA not been sworn until after their statements had been rodnced•to writing. The Learned JUDGE animadverted in strong.terms•uposi the impropriety of this practice, which, he said, was most scandal:. ous. He had adverted to this practice iii•his charge. to-she Grand Jury, in ordek that Magistrates might be snore OW tti their duty, for nothing could be so improper as. for Magistrates to suffer their clerks to take the statements Of Witnessawitioit * the sanction of an'oatlt, An theabsence both - of the Magistrates and of the.party accused. Such was.the course adoptedin this ' case, and he could not condemn it too strongly. 'After an elaborate summing upon thrwhole of the case, 'tie Jury retired to consider of their verdict at half-past five Nester- • Slay evening; and between one and tatou'alock thislnorning they brought the prisoner in Not-Givilty.,.
