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,slieWs 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 Ametican Colonies alone; and the
formation of the two West Indian Bishoprics, and the earnest
endeavours which are iid wisely 'taking 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 arid 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,
this if the College at Windsor be not supported by the pious
ndt benevolent, an attachment to the principles of the Church
of England and of our happy Constitution must, in Nova
Scoria, 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 resott to the dissenting establish-
ments of Nova Scotia, they must gather their knowledge and
form their sentiments in the Republican Colleges of the United
States Of America. Thus nurtured and instructed, it is natural
to conceive that they will imbibe opinions which are anything
but favourable to the religious and political institutions of Eng-
land.
It is impossible to Writhe others who conscientiously endea-
vour to propagate their own views of the Gospel and govern-
ment, even *here 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 at) University, which is their principal.
support in a very important Pro Vince 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 500/. to relieve the exiffencies
of the College. The Society for Promoting Christian trials,
ledge has also made a donation Of 5001. for the ,teligions
objects of the Institution; and several distingilished 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 front 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 appatatiis
of every kind, will be most thankfully received by Sir Scrope
Bernard Morland, Ban. 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.

will gladly afford this information, upon application to him at

tary to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, 42, Castle-
