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 En-land 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, andthat 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 five 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 under whose sanction, and by whOse charter it was principally formed. The statutes of the College were drawn up after the rrodela those of Oxford ; and still more effectually to secure the wel fare of the institution, it was plac e d un d er t h e patronage - 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 pO were 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 erov... 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 first foundation of the College, it was deemed necessary or practi cable to raise: and that building, from a want of funds to ob viate the progress ofgradual decay, has naturally, in the course, of nearly forty years, fallen into such a ruinous state, 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 tom:: isa abandoned. 2. But even were the building in a more perfect condition, it is now no longer sufficiently large to accommodate the increas inn nu niiier of students, or fit for the dignified purpose to which it is appropriated, as the e stabli s h e d U n i vers i ty 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 extensiveacquirements 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 live 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 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 must rather 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 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 round 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 h...s 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 apparatu of every kind, will be most thankfully received by Sir Scrope Bernard :Worland, 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 tbrward 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 meet, 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.

Creed___l received a letter from Brown, the watch. house-keeper, in Bunhill.row. (A letter was handed to wit ness.) This is the letter I received. In consequence I went to the address 1 found on it, and there I found some papers. (The letter given to witness was noWtread.)_ It was written by prisoner from the watchhouse to Mrs. NVilliams, f 3, Lipid's row, Sadler's-wells, a lady with whom he lived, and was to this effect : t "My dear Anne,—l am in custody at Bunhill-row watch. house. • Let him' know by seven in the morning or to-night, that he may send Mr. Harmer to me, as I am going up to Wor ship -street in the morning. lam in good spirits. Say to the lady of the house that I have been arrested for putting my name to a bill to oblige a friend. Send me a shirtand stockings, and let him' know, and he will send me some money." This letter was signed " F. Wrnson" Witness continued—ln consequence of this letter having come to my hands, I went in company with some other persons to 8, Lloyd's-row, and there made a search. 'We found among other papers one containing a list of bills. (A paper was now put into witness's hands.) This is the paper I allude to. The paper was read. It appeared to he a list of bills which either had been, or were about to be, put into circulation by the pri soner or some acquaintance of his. The bills named in it were a bill of a man named Coles for 340/. ; a bill of Thompson, of Liverpool, for 3001.; a bill of Hales, of Chepstow, for 3501. ; ' and a bill of Thompson, of Northampton, Tor -1501. The whole amount exceeded 11001. At the bottom of this list was the following memorandum, but without any name being affix ed to it :—" I have received the above bills from F.' Wilson, and advanced him 501. on account on them ; and it is expressly understood that he is to have the fourth of what they may pro duce." To this there was no date ; and, as we have seen, no name. It was, however, directed on the back to Mr. Samuel Shannon (the witness to whom the bill for 1501., the subject of the present trial, had been paid by the prisoner.) The witness added, the room in which this ;Japer was found was that said to have been occupied by the prisoner. Cross-examined—l went to the watchhouse as a friend of a Mr. Coles. I was in company with my father and Mr. Coles, and a clerk in the house of Cox and Greenwood, and some others. My father and I and the person I have named are members of a society called the Society of Guardians for the Protection of Trade. It has been established a long time— before I was born. I know Mr. Foss ; he has nothing to do with this prosecution. There is another Society of Guardians, similar to that to which Mr. Foss belongs; it has been esta blished some months; it is of this I am a member. Re-examined—Mr. Coles is a friend of mine; I went to look after some bills of his; that is, the Mr. Coles whose bill i s men tioned at the h ea d of th e li st I mentioned. Cross-examined again.---I went to Esdaile's, but not on this business. I never heard Thompson tell my father to stop the bill, as he had been swindled out of it. Thompson said it was a forgery. He said there was a bill of 1501. that was a fbrgery, and that he understood there were others. He explained the matter in this way : that the bills were drawn at the Ram Inn, and that Mr. Cooper (the prisoner was known by that name) wished him to accept them, and that he refused. He did not tell me how he came to know they were to be presented at Es daile's, if be did not put his name to them. Re-examined again.—Thompson stated that he met Mr. Cooper by appointment at the Ram Inn, and that Mr. Cooper drew the bills and wished him to accept them, but he refused it, and said, that as Cooper was to send the bills to Scotland, to be discounted, and as he (Thompson) was not known in Scot land, Cooper might as well send them to be discounted upon his own responsibility ; and if he afterwards came to North ampton with the money, he would accept them, and pay his (Cooper's) expences. By Cooper I mean Ogilvie. They are one and the same person. Prisoner was arrested by the name of Cooper. The bills were drawn in the name of Wilson, and this excited the suspicion of Thompson, and that was one reason why he refitsed to accept them. Wm. Thompson, jun.—l am the son of the prosecutor. (A bill handed to him)—the acceptance " Joseph Thompson" is not die hand-writing of my father. I know his hand-writing. Cross-examined.--( Two papers handed to witness.)—Both of these are my father's hand-writing. The acceptance to the bill is not my father's hand-writing; it is not like it. Any body would know that it was not who knew my father's hand writing. Re-examined—l never saw the bill now produced before this moment. Cross-examined again —I have heard of this bill before. I heard of it since last session. The bill was now put in and read. It was to this effect_ Two months after date pay to my order the sum of 150/.,' va l ue received, signed F. Wil s on, an d addressed to Mr. Joseph Thompson, maltster, Northampton. Th e bill was d ate d April, 1825, and the acceptance was marked Joseph Thompson, pay able at Messrs. Esdale and Co.'s, bankers. Mr. ADOLPHUS made an objection to the indictment, on the ground of some variation between the bill and the copy, set forth in one of the counts. In one was the word bankers, which in the other was written " banker." In the bill after the sum of 1501. appeared two ciphers, which were not "set forth in the indictment.—The objections were overruled. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner when called on for his defence ;; said_ Gentlemen—l met Mr. Thompson by appointment at the Ram-inn, Shithfield, and spent the evening with him; and he agreed to accept the bills. There were three of them. We went to Mr. Davis's, who keeps the Fox and Anchor, in Char terhouse-lane, and Mrs. Davis's child was sent for the three stlimps. The bills were then drawn, and he accepted them in Sir. Davis's back parlour, as I can prove. That's all I have to say, gentlemen. Cyrus Davis.—! keep the public-house, the Fox and Anchor; in Charterhouse-lane. Mr. Thompson frequents my house when he comes to town. He was there early in April, in company with prisoner. They sat in the tap-room. They came some time after, and went into my back parlour, and sent my little boy for the stamps. There were two or three of them—l think three. They then called for pen and ink, which I took in. The window of the room was open, and soon after I was outside washing my hands, I saw the pri soner writing on the stamps. I soon after went in for some thing, and saw Mr. Thompson writing across one of those stamps, one of those on which the prisoner had written. I have written to Mr. Thompson, and received an answer from him. (A letter handed to witness.) .This is one of the let ters I received. It is dated the sth of June. I answered that letter. I have seen him write on other occasions. (The bill of exchange handed to witness.) I believe the name of Joseph Thompson, the acceptance to this bill, to be Mr. Thompson's handwriting. I have no doubt of it. I saw Mr. Thompson last Saturday week. He told me he did not wish to hang the prisoner, if he could get his acceptances back, and desired me to get them, as one was coining due in Octo ber next. He said it was a pity that he should lose his money. I said I did not know how to go about it. Cross-examired by Mr. LAW.--i can't say whether he used the words " acceptances" or " bills." lam not certain which. I saw the prisoner write on the stamps, while I was washing my hands. I was one of the fancy—the fighting men. I ant known by the name of Cv Davis. I was so called when I was on the list. My boy who went fisr the stamps is not here. He is about eight years and a half old. Re-examined—lt is a year and a half since I left the boxing ring. lam now a publican, I went with Mr. Thompson to show him the way to Worship-street. On his way he com plairred that the prisoner had got those bills in an improper manner. I can't remember the exact words he used. Henry Moss—The bill was paid to me by Air. Shannon. It was over due and not paid. Mr. Thompson called upon ms in company with Sir. Creed, and proposed some arrangement for the payment of the bill. I said whatever arrangement they proposed should be to my solicitor. They went to my soli citor's, Mr. Isaacs, and there Mr. THompson complained of having been defrauded out of the bill. It was handed to Sir. Creed, who handed it to Mr. Thompson, and he put it into his pocket, and refused to deliver it up. It was then said that the bill was a forgery. An officer was sent for, and the bill was given up to him. Mr. Thompson said it was a hard case that he should be obliged to pay those bills, and that „others were coming due. I said what need you he alarmed—if those bills are forgeries you won't have to pay them ? He made no I reply to this. Cross-examined by Mr. LAw—He said first that he had been defrauded out of the bill, and when he got it into his hands he said it was a forgery.

( Before a Middlesex Jury. ) Dennis Kelly and Jeremiah Fitzgerald were indicted for as saulting James Field, on the King's highway, putting him in fear, and taking from his person a coat and hat, value 35., his property. Th e y were a l so i n di cte d for assaulting and robbing John Smith, and forcibly taking from his peson lls and a hat and jacket, his property. Field is an umbrella-maker, but on the 3d of July was mak ing hay at Hendon. He stated, that on the day mentioned, he was returning from the Swan public-house at half-past ten in, the evening; he was knocked down by two blows of a stick, which rendered him insensible, and he continued so till next day. lie lost his coat and hat. Witness not being able to say who struck him, or whether the prisoners were present, the Judge stopped the case, and they were acquitted on the first indictment. They were then given in charge for the robbery of Smith. The prosecutor, who is of the same business as Field, but who was at this time employed in haymaking at Hendon, stated that on the night of the 3d July he was returning home about 10 o'clock, along with the prosecutor in the last case and a per son named Sullivan. He was attacked by the two prisoners,_ Fitzgerald struck him, and knocked him down, and Kelly kick ed him in the mouth, to keep him quiet while he was down._. While on the ground his jacket was forcibly taken from his back, and he lost his money. He made all the resistance in his power, and tried to get away. There was no person present when he lost his property. After this they went to his brother and attacked him. Witness went for assistance, and the patrol went after them, and they were taken. Kelly was brought back to the Swan public-house. Witness never saw his jacket or money again. Cro - ss-examined by Mr. BARRY.— Witness had been drink ing at the Swan from half-past six till ten. There were some Irish and some English there, but no quarrelling among them. Another witness proved, that when the prisoner Fitzge rald was taken into custody, the Officer asked him where the coat was ? He said he would tell him in the morning.._ Witness was present when a coat was found. It was pointed out by Fitzgerald to the patrol. It was not the prosecutor's jacket. John Foster said that there were seven persons taken up on suspicion of this business. Several other witnesses were called, but nothing further was elicited. The prisoners being called on for their defence, one of them. (Kelly) proceeded to address the Court in Irish, which occa sioned some merriment in the Court. The Governor of /%Nwgate stated that Kelly could speak English, and had been heard to do so when he was first taken into custody. The other prisoner admitted that he could speak English ; and witnesses were called on their behalf, who gave such an account of the matter as made it appear to have been nothing more than " a row " from beginning to end, in which the prisoners were both struck, and did them. selves strike in return ; while the prosecutor, who with his brother had quarrelled with the prisoners in the course of the day, at a public-house called the Swan,. took off his coat and hat at night for the purpose of fighting the prisoners in the road. Unfortunately, both hat and coat disappeared among the by-stander. The Jury, interrupting the defence, expressed themsel ves sa tisfied on the case, and t en d ere d a verdict of Not Guilty. Air. Justice LITTLEDALE expressed his surprise at this ; and , intimated an opinion that the prisoners could hardly be innocent of the imputed offence, if the evidence of the prose cutor was to be believed; or unless, indeed, they could sup pose the prosecutor to have been drunk at the time that Game was committed, and to be incapable, therefore, of now correctly deposing to it._ . . -After some further observations between his Lordship and the Jury, the Jury consulted together for a few minutes, and returned a verdict as to both of the men of Not Guilty, which was recorded.
