MANSION flousE.—The case of the Brazilian barrister, stated in the newspapers of Tuesday, and headed "An p. peal to the Bar,", has, as the briar, MAYOR conjectured it would, excited an immediate interest,, although not. very strongly, in the quarter to which his Lordship particularly di rected his observations when expressing a hope that the_appeal would be felt by the gentlemen of the English bar, As no more that two contributions were received by the Lord Moor from. the.profession for the service of the unfortunate .firaziliah, it may not be uninteresting to give insertion to the notes en closing them, especially as. the profession may be induced gene rally, upon some other occasion, (for the necessity of this no longer exists,) to follow the example of the' writers. The first was as' follows : " King's-Bench : walk, Temple, Wednesday. . 4 ' My Lord,—As your Lordship. appears to be eathified on inquiry of the correctness of the statement made at your office by a . distressed advocate from Braz!l, I beg to enclose 11. on his account, and trust other members of the English bar will lend him A ssistance - . Unfortunately, at this season% at least four-fifths of the profession are absent from London. I have, Ste. " A BARRISTER." The second note ran thus : • r` My Lord,—l beg.leave to avail myself of vour Lordship's instrumentality in applying the enclosed 11.. to the relief of the Brazilian Advocate, whose application to your Lordship was noticed in the evening papers of yesterday, and am with respect your Lordship's, Scc.. " Lincoln's-inn, 56 Oct." A BARRISTER•" His Lordship .also • 'received communications from some tradespeople informing him that they were ready to contribute • to the Brazilian advocate's relief, but were unwilling to do so from respect to the profession, - whose opinions upon the sub ject they thought it necessary to have before they could think of participating in the act of humanity to which the gentlemen of the bar had been so warmly invit&d. The object o: their bounty called yesterday at the Mansion-house, and left for his Loadship, who was at the time presiding at the Court of Com mon Council, a-letter, written - in the Portuguese language, ex pressive of his grateful thanks for the interest taken by hiS Lordship in the case ; but requesting, that through the same channel by which the public had been' informed of his necessi ties, they might ,he assured .that , there Was net longer occasion for any effort in his service, as the moment the circumstances were detailed in the newspapers, there Was a n en d to hi s di e . tress, and his fears of distre's. It ap that the Brazilian Ambassador, Senbor Gameio, when in, perused the statement which has beerlitaide public, had an immediate interview with his countrym an , a nd most ' satisfactorily arranged every thing for his acc onntin ,l at i on an d comfort timing his stay in England ; that he ;the Andra , sad6r) instructed Senhor Ua Canha to draw upon bins, on part of the Government, to any amount he coiilered necessary for exist ing and incidental expences,.and F oniised him that his passage' to the Brazils should he secured in the first ship that should sail from the port of London to Rio tie .Janeiro. The Ambas sador also requested - that Snitor Da Cunha would write &letter to the Lord Mayor, infiirmiug him that it • would be inconsistent with the:dignity of the Brazilian Empire, as well as with -that of the advocate's own character and rank in society, to permit pecuniary accommodation, under existing c ircumstances,- to be applied to the cas , _ , from any other source than that of the Go_ vernmen t of Brazil.. The 10110 wing is .- a translation of a Letter transmitted to the Lord Mayor on the subject by the Brazilian Advocate : " MY Lortn—ln, an interview with the Brazilian A m b as _ sador, having represented to him the deplorable: -condition into which I have• been thrown, without, having given cause for public or personal resentment; be immediately a nd warmly offered me his protection, gind every necessary 5,,. sistimee, as ha as regards - pecuniary as well as personal inter ference, Most respectfully,; therefore, declining the probatd e re sult of the application, which my e:: ;amities obliged me to make to British feeling', through,. y.,r Lordship's Mediation, I beg that your Lordship, will accept my- most grateful thanks for having so•promptly interposed .your benevolent intentions fur mjr relief. 1 have the- honour to rem:i'n, ,cur Lordship's 0105 t o bliged, grateful, and obedient servant, 44 JACINTO M9REIIIA '.'2II.7.VItIANO DA .CUNHA , ! , The Loan MAY on, upon being, on his return to the Atari sion-house, informed of the t . .bove-mentioned pardculars,' ob_ LEAVING WORK UNFINISHED. UN-lox-11a u..—Yesterday James Wright and Valentine 'Aycock, two young men, in the employ of Messrs. Cundall and Allen, extensive iron -founders, in the Great Dover-road, were charged with quitting their work before the period of their con tract had expired. Mr. Allen.stated that their workmen•had been extremely in attebtive to business, and frequently absented themselves for days together, and when remonstrated with, and told that they were liable to punishment, they only ridiculed the notion, and said that no law could reach them for staying away a few days from their labour, 'especially as the time which was thus squan dered was always deducted fi n their wages. In the DrPce - nt th. fplitted --). % , ...—day at noon, an did not return again that day ; they were drinking and idling away, their time. Mr. Allen represented the serious injury which they sustained by such conduct, as the forge tire was uselessly burning, and a number of labourers had nothing to do iircon sequence-of the absence of the prisoners. The latter are what is called in the trade " Moulders," and were engaged at 365. per week. Wright's was a written, and Laycock's a verbal con tract. By absenting themselves the afternoon in question, they occasioned a loss of between three and four pounds to the pro secutors. • The Magistrate called upon the prisoners to offer something in justification of their conduct, if they could urge any thing, for the case, as it now appeared, was somewhat an aggravated one. Wright said that several of the men had often acted in a si mil-r manner, and he did not think there was any harm in it. This opinion seemed to coincide with haycock's views; and al though the Magistrate again endeavoured to convince them, that they acted unjustly, they reiterated their notion that they had a right to absent themselves when they pleased. Wright was then committed to hard labour for three months, and haycock for two. The prisoners laughed when the Magistrate ordered the mit timus to be made out. CAUTION TO PUBLICANS. LAMBETH-STREET.—Yesterday Mr. APDortnell , the land lord of the Harrow Inn, Poplar, was convicted before the, sitting Magistrate, M. WYAT T, Esq.,.on an information chag ing him with having kept his house open_ on the 2d init. be, tween the hours of two and three o'clock in the morning, for the entertainment of persons not travellers. The preient proceed ings were instituted, not at the instance of the local or paro chial authorities, but arose out of a case of felony, which came on for investigation before the same Magistrate on last Monday morning. The circumstances were these : a. sailor was robbed of his watch in a brothel in the neighbourhood, which it ap peared had been supplied with half a gallon of beer from the house of Mr. M'Donnell at the time before Mentioned. The defendant was fined five pounds. CRUELTY TO FEMALE APPRENTICES T CEE '1:. —Yesterday Joseph Gilbert, of St Thomas-street, Brick-lane, Bethnal-green, a silk-weaver, at tended before Mr. TWYFORD and Mr. OSBORNE, the Magis trates, upon a summons charging him with having cruelly beaten Mary Anne Childs, a young woman about seventeen years of age, and who has been his apprentice for the last three years and a half. M. A. Childs related a long course of cruelty practised upon her by her master and mistress. The langliage used by them in her hearing was (she said) such as could • not be repeated : and about a fortnight ago her master threw.a half pint pot at her, which struck heron the head and Cut her severely. %Ir. Tw'Vriatto=—AndWity did you not come here then ? Apprentice,--1 did, your Worship, come. here, but my master f o ll o wed and persuaded me to go home, solemnly. assuring me that the like circumstance should not take plAce again with standing his promise, he yesterday beat me with one of the rothi used in the business, until my shoulders were black, and a few days htTcre he struck me a violent blow behind the head with a " tatitoe." Kennedy, the officer, explained that the " tantoe" was sn instrument by which they turned in their work, arid Was much larger than the rods, but that either was a very unfit institiment •to correct a young female with. Apprentice—Your Worship. he scarcely s , iffers me to go to (thatch more than once Of twice a year. . TWYFORT)—Th a t of itself will be sufficient groutid for our discharging the apprentice from her indentures. •. . .A young woman, about 2fl years of age, another apprentice, corroborated the statement of the first witness. TWYFOltD—What:saY7You, i%lr. (iilbert, to allthis ? Gilhert 77 They were turned out of the Sunday .Schcol for misbehaviour; beSides, my employer has lost upward's of td: per yard•of the last piece of cloth wrought by thti elder ap prentice. Mr. T'a-I,Fonts—'—But how has it happened that you winked at their not.going to Chinch on Sundays, or that ~ ou'diiinet insist, as o their master, that they should go? . ,Andzis to the in jury they have done the work, it will be serving you to be re lieved from them. _ Tb e Magistrateq, after conferring together for a short tints; desired that a notice should be served on the parish otlicers,4o; as to give them an opportunity of recovering the pretniiim they advanced ; that the - apprentices shoUld be discharged; and that. t h ey s h ou ld riot,be,suirered to return under th e same roof with their master, but . that they shOtild he sent to the pariah workhouse .for the Dlght; until the indenture s s h ou ldh e . e.a;:- celled. PRICE SEVENPENCE EXEMPTIONfromSERVING on. JURIES. YestPrday a Meeting, of the Inhabitants of St; Andrew, Holborn, was held in the Inquest WooM, " to take into consideratlon a circular signed by the Ward:Clerk; requir ing infiabitants, from the ageof 21 to 60, to return themselves as Jurors, iriebntravention of -immemorial, custom of exenp tion." Mr. HARMS, the Churchwarden, in the . Chair. • • The CHAIRMAN commenced by reading the requisition call ing the Meeting, and briefly explained the objbci! OF it: ' Mr. BEAUCHAMP said, the question they, had met tollecile was, whether they would submit to be depriv r ed' of a right which they had enjoyed fin ages, or take ~ the necessary _steps towards establishing it. The prescriptive right they claimed had been for ,years *acknowledged, but the O r igi n la it was for gotten, and the proof of it unfortunately lost. A document had recently been found in the British. Museum, which proved such a, right formerly existed. It was as follows :-- 'Mss. Had. Mis.—British Museum, N 3. 5,900 in, the hand writing of Mr. John Bagford. Malcolm, London, 2nd /yd. page .500— " And likewise at Holbourne listrrs within this 30 years wit,' two clay es hie weeke kept a small Market by Country littgel. lers ror.veal, pork, and lowly, but fly an Agreement between the City and the Inhabitants, they being excused from Juneyesi, they have consented to the disuse of it, although there remain some Butebers, Poulterers, and Fishmongers. " Dated 1657.1' _ - -.- No doubt ,such an, agreement h a d,b e ep entered into, and it was probably still in existence„ and if proper exertion was used it !night befound. , He did not, wish' .the pais!: .to incur any considerable expence, but still he wished some further inquiry to be made: Mr. Peel's Act stated, that all per:vs having any Prescription, Charter, .ora:it s , pr Writ, should continue rto.ealjoy the tatne, in as'ample a' manner as before the passing of the Act. He concluded by. proposing a resolution, to the effect; that in the'opinion of the Meeting the inhabitants of St. Andrew were exempt frotn. serving on Juries., Mr. SicEr.x. said, if the parish had such a privilege, it was their duty:to prt-serve it. lie thought :the Act -of Parliainent confirmed the prescriptiye right they claimed, and which he . had no doubt was purchased by their fore . fathers. He t : tad lately found in his house an inventory of fixtures taken . silitte years since, on which was writteri-=" Privileged froM serving on Juries.." He then seconded the motion. • • Mr. PONTIF EX.; a Solicitor, said, his opinion there was no chance of establishing their claim. A prescription; was le gaily defined to be a right attached to the person, anti .a cus tom as a right attached to •a place, The 'word custom vra's omitted in the Act of Parliament, and he thought theY,would never be able to prove a prescription. Mr. JONES said, the sec o nd sec ti o n o f th e ' A ct enumerated the places and .persop' who. were entitled 'to 'exemption.- He thought the Law Officers of the parish ought to have watched the progress of the Bill, and procured the insertion of a •clause exempting the inhabitants of St. Andrew's parish ; .but he feared they had no chance left of establishing their claim. Mr. icosom, the Vestry Clerk, said the - paper which had been found in the British Museum said the exemption' was granted by an agreement • with 'the City. , The City had only the power of exempting parishes from serving on Juries.in 41e Lord Mayor's Cowt. lie had no doubt that when the agree ment was made, the parish of St. Andrew's surrendered to the City some privilege in exchange. lie had waited upon 'the City Solicitor and some ether gentlenpn upon. the subject, to procure their assistance in endeavouring to find the agreement ; .but they were not at all disposed to afford it, and refused to suffer an inspectirzi of the City Records. . Mr.. PONTIFEX said, if the parish had ever obtained a Charter granti, , g them the exemption, they would have hall no occasion to have made the agreement with the City already mentioned. He had no doubt of the existence of. the custom: which, however, he considered contrary to the public good. It was laid doWn in 2 Danvers, 424 end 427, that a custom con trary to the public good, or injurious to a multitude, and be; neficial to some particular persons, is repugnant to the law of il'sit h ig i- eran t k er u e /W " id. "a avk a'isMivtreu, 'as nV chance of success. ,„ The Resolution was then Put and Carried by a considerable majority. Mr. SoAyEs said he was of opinion that many years since the parish o& St. Ahdrew had, by the perfortnanee ()flame pub lic duty, acquired a public right.

(„4, THE UNIVERSITY OF' KING'S COLLEGE, AT WINDSOR, IN NOVA SCOTIA. Fo every one who feels an interest in the moral and religious improvement of his fellow -creatures, the folluing 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 thatprominent 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 ; andby whose charter it-was principally formed. . . The statutes of the. College weredrawn 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 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 ;troying 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.: looks, 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 instiumenr 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 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 Christianllissionary. • . . . Alen equally learned, and of equal zeal, might perhaps, have been qbtained 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 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 ueemcd necessary or praeti cable,to raise: and that building, from a want of funds to ob riatethe 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 tar gone as to bennworthrof 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 nutnt-toits, aodthe demandlor allberal education is, in consequence, proportionally enlarged. ,Men of sound - tell.: &us pm; ciples and extensive acquirements are wan telffOr 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 areincluded within the Dioe'ese, 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 ..Nortli 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 itspresent means, altogether unfit and unequal to answer its presentunti 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 anti benevolent, an attachment to the principles of the Chie' ;:h 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 1. 1- ..va 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 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 front 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 thei t r principal support in a veryimportant 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. 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 exigdinies 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, anti • Scholarships ; to furnish the necessary Philosophical Apparatus and Book.; ;—these are jects 4 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 Scrope Bernard-hlorland, Bart. 111. P., 50, Pall Alall, who has been the kind Agent of King's College for many years. Other friends of the Institution. ii diflbrent 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, 4:l:,.Casde-' ttreet, Leicester-square; from the Secretaries to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, Lincoln's-inn-Fields ; alid at Cambridge from the Lord Bishop of Bristol, and the Rev. the Masters of Trinity and St: John's Colleges.

'. Bow-STREET.---A Mr. !Nowlin preseute i l . ; at this agile yesterday, and addressing himself to Sir RiCHAIII) Bra- N/E, said. he applied for some proceeding against Sir Nattiniel Conant, for a libel seriously affecting his (31r. cha racter. Sir R. BIRWIE—The application is a little singular, Sir, be cause Sir Nathaniel Conant has been; dead to my knowledge for some years. " Mr. Mowlin—l maybe mistaken as to the person, but I mean a gentleman whp now sits as a Magistrate at Marlborough street. . . . • - Sir R. BIRXIE-01 you mean Mr: Conant, Well, Sir, I will hear youte 'application : but I tell you in the Outset, that libel .is a matter with which I wish -to have as little to do as possible. . Mr. Mowlin then produced a copy,of the Morning Newspaper of Saturday last, and pointed out to Sir .R;Birnie,'s -attention an article of Marlborough-street Police intelligence, headed " Magisterial Imputations," and stated that in the course of the matter there reported., Mr. Conant had chosen, as Sir RiChard would perceive, to give utterance to foul and 'scan dalous and unfounded libels upon his (applicant's) character. This was the ground of his application ; and he wished for a Warrant, or some other procebding, against Alr.Conant. Sir R. BIRNIE—Reully, Sir, I cannot understand why an appeal should be made to a Magistrate in a case of this kind. The higher Courts are open to you._ You can proceed either by action or indictment, and that is your proper course if you have . been injured. • . • Mr. Mowlin - said he was aware that the Courts were open to him,- but he wished to institute a proceeding of a more summlry and a 'cheaper kind. . 7 1n action was an extremely expensive process. _ _ a Sir R. BIRNIE Not Sir, if your cause be a just one. My advice to you is the same that I give to every other person ; apply, if you-have had any wrong done you, to the regular and proper tribunals for redress. The authority of a Magistrate to interfere in cases of private libel at all, is, I think, somewhat doubtfdl, and of this I. am certain, that the less he does inter. fere the better. I would much rather, Sir, that you adopt the usual course., and bring your action. Mr. Mowlin departed with this answer. DUBLIN, OCT. 1. MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN MOLTNTJOY-SQUARE. A Murder has been discovered to have.. liven committed on a poor woman, aged nearly sixty years, flamed Catherine Kelly. She had been placed as care-taker of the house in IVlountjoy.square, at the corner of Great Charier.- street, next.. Summer-hill. She lived in the house alone, and was seen alive on, Thursday. On Sunday morning, t e watchman mentioned to • some persons in the neighbo hood, that he believed the woman was "dead, as he saw' that the shutters had not been closed ,during the night aa.usvai. A young man entered the house by the parlour wiadpw fronting Illountjoy-square, when he saw the unfortunate Woman lying on the parlour , floor strangled. A handker chief with which the dreadful act had been committed.was fastened tight about her neck. There is no clue to come at even the motive for this horrible act. The house was Unfur nished anti no property of any kind in it ; and it is Wit pre_ liable that the house should be entered for the purpose of car rying away grates or chinineypieces, nothing of the 'kind being stirred ; the window-shutters of the parjour Where' the body lay were open. ~The handkerchief was in such .a position as to render it impossible that she should have committed the act herself. A cloak, and some of her bed-clotheS, were, it is said, taken away. There is no rear passage to the house, anti it is not known whether the unfortunate woman. was murdered on Friday or Saturday night.. . • . „ IscairsT.—Yesterday, M. Mr. M'Cartby, Coroner for the County, held an inquest on the body of theunforhmatelethule. --A.number of witnesses were examined, but little light was thrown on the mysterious transaction. The deceased had been a widow 18 years, and Possessed an excellent character ;' a sur mise has been. suggested by the circumstances of her death, and the petty robbery committed. on the occasion, that the murder ers, in depriving her of life, might have been actuated by, a wish to cut off the possessor of some vainable secret, or prevent her appearance,as a witness on some cause— So silently was the bloody deed performed, that not one single .witness was foun.d4 rho could bear the slightest testimony as to any.noise having been heard in the house on any evening or'morning of the week. The watchmen of the : vicinity were minutely examined, but nothing iris elicited from their accounts. , ~ _ .„ The sister-in-law of the deceased was sworn.—she appealed in great grief, but could, not depose to any material flict:—A. medical gentleman attended, and opened the body. The Jury,, after deliberating a long time, found " That,the &Ceased had been murdered by some person Or persons at pre sent unknown." . . ~,. , .
