THE UNIVERSITY OF KING'S COLLEGE, AT WINDSOR, IN NOVA SCOTIA. MO every one who f e els an i n t ere st in th e 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 p a t r on age o f t h e 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 an 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 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 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 srst foundation of the College, it was deemed necessary or practi cable to raise : and that building, from a want of funds to ob viate the progress ofgradual decay, has naturally, in the course, of nearly forty years, fallen into such a ruinous state, that it can no longer be inhabited without extensive repairs, and is so far gone as to be unworthy of being restored. It may be so re paired as to be occupied for a short time, but must soon be abandoned. 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 p 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, hut partitularly 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 27,080 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 endeavours which are so wisely making for the spiritual instruc tion of the Negro slaves, are likely to render King's College of still more importance and use. They certainly render its pre sent building and its present means, altogether unfit and unequal to answer its present and probable future opportunities of doing good. 3. 'Without any imputation` of improper hostility to other forms of doctrine and Church government, it may be fairly stated to those who love their own holy faith and discipline, that if the College at Windsor be not supported by the pious and benevolent, an 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 m us t ga th er their knowledge and form their sentiments in the Republican Colleges of the Chilled 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 13 impossible to blame others who conseientiotisly 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 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; anti 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 apparatu of every kind, will be most thankfully received by Sir Serene Bernard 3lorland, 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.

These Nutri tious Preparations have been subeeitted to the Medical Pro fession throUghout the United Kingdom, and have met with the most decided approval and recommendation ; in fact, many Physicians of the greatest celebrity hare declared, that the Patent Preparations of Barley and Groats excel all other articles in use, as a Food for Children, &c. The Patent Barley makes Superior Barley Water in Ten Minutes, and is infinitely better than the common Barley for thickening Veal, Mutton, and other Broths; it is also in the highest re pute for making a most delicious Pudding or Custard. The Patent Groats produce in Ten Minutes an excellent, smooth, and delicate Gruel, which, owing to the Patent mode of pre paration, will never turn sour on the stomach.

Daniel Forrester and another Officer stated, that on Sunday; as they were on duty in Smithfield, they saw the defendant, who stood before his booth on the footpath, stopping the pas. sengers, and soliciting them to purchase his gingerbread. The officers informed him that nothing was allowed to be sold there during the Sabbath, and desired him to desist. He, however, bawled louder and louder, and raised a mob about. ,them. They were jostled about and threatened with serious ill-treat ment, and they were finally obliged to take the defendant into custody. The Loan IllaYort said, the whole of the keepers of tho'Se booths which were placed upon the foot pavement should know that they were there merely upon sufferance, and that he had the power to order the immediate removal of all of them. In fact they were liable to heavy penalties tinder the new Street Act. His Lordship, however, thought the two nights' confine ment suf f icient punishment, and was unwilling to prejudice the sale of the defendant's gingerbread. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR. Gunr.nrial.t..—The extra number of constables employed in Bartholomew Fair this year has had the effect of keeping nearly all the regular thieves away from it, for out of upwards of twenty prisoners (mostly boys) brought before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman BRIDGES, upon charges of felony, or suspicion of felony, only two are recognisetl as having been in custody before. A desperate gang, howeier, made a bold attempt on Monday night to create a panic in the fair, which would have afforded them the best opportunity of carrying on their operations, and was best ca l cu l ate d to ren d er the !mist ance of the police inefficient. About 400 fellows were obierved by Wheeler, Mr. Martin's inspector, just after dusk, hunting a bullock from Holborn towards the fair. A great number of them were armed with sticks, and the uproar, alarm, and yell ing, occasioned by its passing up King-street, across Smith field, and through Long-lane, surpassed description. The beast itself, however, did no mischief; beyond knocking a number of persons down ; but many oyster and apple-stalls along the line we have just mentioned, were overturned by the violent efforts of th e f ema l es i n part i cu l ar, w h o were walking in the carriage way, and rushed towards the pavement. Only one person was secured ; he is an apprentice to Mr. Manton, of Shoe-lane, and had lately been guilty of very improper con duct towards his master.—The Alderman was at first inclined to fine him 51., but as Mr. Manton declared he would rather pay the fine than allow the boy to.go to prison and to mix with the common herd of prisoners, he was, at Mr. Manton's re quest, delivered into his charge, and he promised to convey him before the City Chamberlain, and have him dealt with as he should see proper. RIGHT OF PUBLIC ADMISSION INTO POLICE OFFICES. BOW-STREET.—During the investigation of an assault case, Ford, the officer, came up to the table, and addressing the Ma gistrate, informed him that two gentlemen had forced their en trance into the office, notwithstanding they acknowledged hav h. no business. The Magistrate, Mr. MrmsrfuLL, desired Ford to request the gentlemen to come before him, which being done, he asked the reason of their conduct. One of the gentlemen said, that a young friend of his, who had arrived from the country, was very anxious to be present at an examination in Bow-street Office, and he had conse quently brought him in, conceiving that, as it was a public. office he had a right to do so. He therefore had, when stopped at the door, explained the cause of his wishing to come in, and stated that he had a right so to do. Mr. MINSLIULL.—There is a very mistaken idea abroad re= garding the admittance of the public into police offices ; no person has a right to come into one unless he has business.— It is very different from a Court of Law; there any one may go; but a police office is a private room for the administration of public justice, and no person ought to go in without having bu. sin s ess to transact. I can assure you, Sir, that we are often re tarded in the exercise of our duty, in consequence of the num ber of persons who come in who really have no business • and if every one who wi s h e d was a ll owe d to enter, we should the office so full now that we shOuld not be able to do any thing. You are, however, now you are here, welcome to re. main as long as you please. Townsend, the officer, then stepped forward, and, with sub mission to the Bench, begged to say, that unless the Magistrates supported their officers in their duty, it was of no use to placa them anywhere. He himself had been a witness of this affair, and the behaviour of the gentlemen was as stated by Ford ; the former certainly explained the reason of his wanting to be ad. mitted ; yet, if officers had a specific duty to perforrn unless they were supported in it by the Magistrates, they (the officers) had much better be pensioned off. Mr. MissHut.t. observed, that the Magistrates supported their officers at all times when they did their duty, and the officer in the present case had done.so. The gentlemen then bowed, and waited in the office for some time. UNGRATEFUL ROBBERY. Charles Smith, a young fellow, was yesterday charged with a robbery, which, thongh comparatively small in amount, was attended with circumstances of aggravation the most base and cruel. The prosecutor was a poor shoemaker, of the name of John Rice, living at No. 1, Compton place, Brunswick-square. The prisoner, who had been but slightly instructed in the business, being some time ago in the greatest possible distress, the prose cutor kindly gave him an asylum, and remunerated him for the little assistance he was able to render in his trade, by giving him food and clothing. While poor Rice was labouring hard to keep his numerous family from want, sickness attacked his wife and two or three of his children, and on the same day (WAnesday last) the partner of his cares and one of his chil dren died. Sunday was appointed for the funeral of the mother and child, and Rice, naturally anxious to pay proper respect to their remains, ,and having no clothes good enough of his own, he borrowed a suit of black and a good shirt from a friend. The night before the funeral the prisoner slept at Rice's house, and early in the morning Rice having occasion to go out, the former took advantage of his absence, and went away with the borrowed suit of clothes, the shirt, a pair of boots, and some money which Rice had left in the room. On Monday two of the prosecutor's sons, wandering through Bartholomew Fair, saw the prisoner swaggering about in the stolen clothes, and, though children, they seized hold of him, and in spite of his efforts to shake them off, clung to him until a city police officer came, and he was taken away in custody. The Magistrate ordered the coat and waistcoat to be taken from him, and he was fully committ e d f or t r i a l, an d ta k en to prison without those necessary articles of covering. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. _ _ Mary Jiine Searle, a very respectable-looking young woman underwent a second examination, charged as follows :—Mr. John Wallis, an architect residing at 33, Charlotte-street, Blackfriars-road, had also a house at Lingfield, to which he generally went on Saturday, and returned to town on the Mon day. The prisoner lived with him as a servant. On Tuesday last he arrived in town as above, a little before seven in the evening ; the prisoner was at that time out, and did not return until y o'clock. On the 'Wednesday he found a note from the prisoner, addressed to Mrs. Wallis, stating, " that in consequence of the house having been robbed in her (the prisoner's) absence, she had left ; but that if he thought proper she would return. She had done all she could to please." From this circum stance \lr. Wallis searched the house, and discovered that a teapot, a pair of candlesticks, a cream jug, all of silver, and va rious articles,_ had been stolen. He accordingly sent for an offi cer, who took her into custody on Friday evening, at No. 12, Eagle-street, Red Lion-square. He found upon her 16 du plicates of part of the stolen property ; but the candlesticks and cream jug were found at the house of a woman at Lam beth, who proved that they had been left with her by-the pri soner. She was fully committed. A MURDEROUS PLOT DISCOVERED. MAR I.BORO lUGH-STILEET.—A youth about 19, named Edzeard Cleveland, late a groom in the service of Mr. Robin.. son, a gentleman of fortune, residing at No. 60, Greek -street, Soho-square, who has been several days in custody, charged with committing very extensive depredations on his master's property, was yesterday brought before the Magistrate for final examination. It unfortunately happened that Mr. Robinson took the prisoner into his service without ascertaining his cha racter from his former master. The necessity of this precau tionary step will appear more than ever obvi ous , f rom t h e eon. duct of this wholesale plunderer. From the day he entered Mr. Robinson's service, that gentleman was continually missing ar ticles ()revery description, but more particularly. from his li brary, but so plausibly did the prisoner conduct himself, that Mr. R. never once suspected him. Indeed, the apparent appli.. PitICE SEVENPtgCE: cation of the lad - to reading and writing, induced a very favour able opinion to be entertained of him, and Mr. Robinson, find ing that he had acquired the specious show of educetion re citing pieces of poetry, would sometimes introduce him to his friends, that he might ditiplay his talent that way. Abouf six weeks ago Mr., Robinson went to France for a very short time, but before his departure he discharged the prisoner, because Mrs. Kobinsbn, his mother, had from the commencement : dis liked the prisoner, and did net wish him to remain' in the house in the absence of her son ; but the prisOner was hot suf fered to take away his boxes, because he had borrowed a sum of 41. of the housekeeper, which he was not prepared to pay. Mr- Robinson was not long gone to France before a discovery was made of new and greater depredations, which, on Mr. Robinson's return, led to the apprehension of the prisoner, when the particulars stated in TUE Sus of the 30th August were ascertained, by which it appeared. the prisoner, in concert with his mother and others, had robbed his master of property to a very considerable amount. Various Other articles (not Mr. R.'s) were found at the house of the pri toner's mother, sonic of which were marked with the nanse of Mr. Hammond, the.prisoner's late master. But great as have been the losses sustained by Mr. Robinson through the pri soner's means, they are nothing when compared with the injury with which himself and his family appear to have been threa tened. Within these few days, and since the prisoner has . been in custody, a letter bad been thrown into the area of Mr. Ro binson's house, addressed to that gentleman, well worded and written, but evidently in a feigned band, which describes a. plot laid for the robbery of his house, and the destruction of his whole family., either by setting the place on fire, or otherwise, which would have been effected had not the apprehension of " one person," as the letter says, naw in custody, broken up the design, which the writer, of the letter says lie had himself entered into, having been led on by the plausible intrigues of others, and having unfortunately from evil habits listened particularly to the counsels of " one person." But the writer is now struck with remorse at the design, and takes the earliest opportunity of cautioning Mr. Robinson, even still, although he ;toes not now think there is danger, to search every part of his house nightly, before he goes to rest.— On one night, he says, all would have been a cco m plish e d, had not the o ld lady been awoke and got up (this alludes to one night that Mr. Robinson's mother, after going to bed, thought she heard a noise, and got up, and had the house. searched), for there was then a person concealed in the house to let others in, but who escaped, on hearing the old lady get up. After many mote particulars and cautions, the writer says, that were he known to be the author of :tuck information, his life would be the sacrifice, such is the desperation of the gang he has to deal with. Since the receipt of this letter, many cir cumstances have struck upon the minds of' Mr. Robinson and his family. Such as the prisoner Cleveland having been often, since his dismissal, found at all hours, late t:nd early, in the house, without any one being able to tell how he got in, and his pretences, to which much attention was not paid, was, that he came to get something out of his boi. A gentleman on a visit with Mr. Robinson on another night, heard footsteps on the stairs, when the family were in bed, and got up to see who it was, but could perceive no person. Since the information conveyed in the anonymous letter, Mr. Robinson has adopted every means of security, having a good supply of arms, &c. in the house, and makes a regular nightly search to see that every thing is secured. M r . Hammond, the former master of the prisoner, was expected to come forward this day, but he is sup posed not to be in town, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial, on the charge of stealing two articles of jewellery, which were produced and identified by Mr. Robinson. The prisoner observed, that he supposed there must be a sort of trial, and, until then, he should not say any thing. DIFFERENCE IN MAGISTERIAL OPINIONS. LAMBETH-STItEET.—By a report which appeared in an Evening Paper of the 18th of last month, respecting a decision. made by the Chief Magistrate, on the case of a Waterman who had been summoned before him fur extortion, it would seem that the public, in certain cases, such as the being conveyed to steam-boats and craft in the river, have no kind of protection, and that the watermen may, with impunity, exercise the grossest impositions. Yesterday, however, the dictum of the Chief Magistrate of Bow-street Was completely irrrpugnc-J, and a decision under similar circumstances was laid down in an opposite manner by Mr. Wyatt, the presiding Magistrate at this Office, before whom the case was heard.—Randeal Deck., a waterman, and owner of the wherry, Number 3,235, ap peared to an information laid against him, by Charles Oliver, Esq., who charged him with having demanded, and received, more than his legal fare. Mr. Oliver stated, that on Friday last, he accompanied two ladies for the purpose of placing them on board one of the Gravesend steam-boats, then lying ofFthe Tewer-stairs. He engaged the defendant's wherry for that pur pose, and having placed his friends on board, he returned to wards shore, on reaching which, he asked him what was his fare, and he replied 2s. 6d., adding, that if it was not paid, he would " row him out again." He, Mr. 0., considering the de mand exorbitant, took out a handful of sill , . r, and desired the defendant to take what he was legally entitled to, and warned hint at the same time, that if he exceeded what was correct, he would make him answer for it before a Magistrate. The defendant then took a shilling, which he, Mr. Oliver, con tended was more than the sum allowed by the Act of Parliament, and be ,ght its receiver within the penal enactments of the statutes.—Mr. Wyatt here observed, he was much surprised at seeing a case precisely similar to the present reported, as having occurred at another Office, wherein the Magistrate was made to say that there was no remedy in such cases ; he regretted extremely that such. an opinion should have gone forward to the public; the decision then made led him to look over the Act of Parliament, and the fares as regulated by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Rulers of the Waterrnen's Company. On that examination he found that the public were as amply protected against abuses of this description, and remedies provided, as they were in any other ordinary grivances. Mr. W. continued, on referring to the latest assessments of fares that was made during the Mayoralty of Alderman Coombe, in the year 1803, the fixed sum for crossing the river was two-pence ; this he conceived to be quite an inadequate payment ; but such being the established and legal maximum, the waterman subjected himself to the penal ties of the statute, if he demanded more. The Worthy Ma gistrate added, that he was astonished that the Lord Mayor and those persons in whom the power was vested, did not re vise the regulations, and make something like an equal appor tionment of the fares, and thus prevent the very frequent re currence to magisterial interference.—Mr. Oliver said, his only object was to put an end to the extortions of the watermen, who looked upon the decision at How-street as granting them a license to demand exorbitant fares.—Mr. Wyatt, after making some general remarks upon the conduct of watermen, who crowded around the steam-boats and occasioned a great incon venience, convicted the defendant in the penalty of 20s. ; but it was, at Mr. Oliver's request, mitigated to 10s. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ROBBING A CONSTABLE OF THE NIGHT. MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday a man named Muse: was charged with having stolen a watch from the constable of the night, who presides at the watch-house in Duke's-place, while his worthip, the constable, was asleep on his post. Trip, the beadle, who is in the habit of paying frequent visits to the watch-house to ascertain whether the duties are properly performed, stated that he called in on the night before, and found Mr. Minden, the constable, awake, and apparently qua lified to perform the arduous duties of his office. He left him alone, and upon returning found him taking a comfort able nap in the easy chair by the fire side. Having awaken ed him, and questioned him about a young man who had been seen leaving the watch house the moment before, lie perceived that the constable must have slept as sound as a watchman, for he had seen no young man. He was very anxious to be supposed to have shammed asleep, and be gan to joke upon the subject, when putting his hand to his pocket, he became suddenly convinced, and he admited that the sleep he had enjoyed was real, for his watch was gone. The complainant himself said that somehow or other he had been overcome with sleep after Mr. Trip had left the watch house, but then the sleep and the robbery had occupied no more time than a quarter of an hour. He had not seen a Inman being in the interval between Trip's visits. Trip said that as lie approached the watch-house while the night constable was asleep, lie saw the prisoner look over the door; but as the young man had been accommodated with a lodging in the watch-house before, he had no suspicion of any bad motive, as the watch-house was, he thought, the last place a man would go to .for the sake of plunder. The prisoner at first denied that he had been in the watch house, but afterwards admitted that lie had looked in and saw his worship the night-constable fast asleep, upon which he walked out, but without seeing either watch or clock. The Loan MAYOR said be considered the theft almost in the light of a judgment upon the night-constable, who had made good the old charge against the guardians o f th e n i g h t. b y fall ing asleep instead of attending to his business, which was little more than keeping himself awake. The conduct of the pri soner was extremely suspicious, and he should he remanded until inquiries could be made about the watch : twenty thieves might have visited tile night-constable in his sleep. A DESCENDANT OF LOC KE . Mr. Hobler received a letter from a letnal:, who called her self Elizabeth Locke, stating that she was a collateral descend ant of the great John Locke, author of the " Essay on the Understandin , ," and that she was in service at No. 8, College street, Bristol.' Her grandfather had been, she stated, a hair dresser in the City of London, and had taken a violent part in the affair of Wilkes ; she wished to learn to what Company he hail belonged, and whether she was not entitled to some pecu niary aid as the descende:tt of a citizen of London, if she could expect none as the relative of one of the greatest genuises Eng land ever produced. By the direction of the Lord Mayor, inquiries were made about the person Elizabeth Locke called her grandfather, and it was found that a person of that name had been an active par tisan of Wilkes, but it could not be ascertained to what Com pany he belonged, or whether he belonged to any. Mr. Ilobler's correspondent expresses a humble hope that she may obtain some situation in consequence of the circum stance of her relationship, which she can satisfactorily prove, in conjunction with her claim as an irreproachable.and indus trious woman. SABBATH-BREAKING. The keeper of one'of the booths in . Bartholomew Fair was brought before the LO RD 3Taltoß, charged with having offered ~,~ 3' EXTENSIVE SWINDLING. Havrot-GArtnEx.—Another of those often repeated tricks which the cupidity of tradesmen allow to be played off upon them' was investigateo. at this office yesterday. A tall young man, of deep olive complexion, and dressed in th e first style of fashion, was charged with having swindled .141 r. Wing field, the proprietor of th e Whi te Hart Hotel, Holborn, out of the accommodation of a sitting-room and bed-room, with the necessary accompaniments ,of soups and vermicelli, wi ne and walnuts, for the sp ace o f t wo entire days, in figures 61. 3s. 34.__ The gentleman palmed himself upon the Botel-keePer a Mr. Boller, a Demarara proprietor, from which place he had only just arrived, an d th at his luggage was still on board the vessel lying a t th e d oc k s . He then asked' icre could be accommodated with a pair of horses and a servant, as he was particularly partial to riding. Mr. Wingfield said t .he had better apply to some of the livery stable keepers, and Men tioned the name of one, Mr. Anderson, of Gray's Inn 7 lane..The hint was taken, and the following day the gentleman turned out in the very first style, mounted on a beautiful blood mare„ And attended by a smartly cockaded groom, and agreed to pay . for the " establishment" the vulgar stipend of 20 guineas Ter month during pleasure. Thus equipped, the supposed Nabob found little difficulty in obtaining goods to any extent in the neighbourhood.
