can no longer be inhabited without extensive repair, 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,
bbandoned.

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 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,shewsthat 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
formation of the.two West Indian Bishoprics, and the earnest
endeavouts which are so wisely making for the 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,
tha 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
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 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 tci 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 its 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 bf 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; and several distinguished indivi-
dualshave 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 Philoz•ophical 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 Scrape
Bernard Morland, 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

REMARKABLE TRIAL FOR MURDER.

The following singular case is at present the
subject of dramatic representation at one of our
minor theatres. The narrative is extremely in-
teresting, as exemplifying that circumstantial evi-
dence, even when apparently the most conclusive,
is not always to be relied upon as infallable. It
happened in the year 1672. The reader will
find the account of it in the Gentleman's Magazine
for 1762.

"In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, a person was nr,:
ranged before Sir Ja:‘rEs DYER, Lord Chief Justice of the
Court of Common Pleas, upon an indictment for the mur-
der of a man, who dwelt in the same parish with the pri.
soner. The first witness against him deposed, that on a
certain day mentioned by the witness, in the morning, as he
was going through a close, which he particularly described, at
some distance from the path, he saw a person lying in a con-
dition that denoted him to be either dead or drunk ; that he
went to the party, and found him actually dead, two wounds
appearing in his breast, anti his shirt and clothes much stained
with blood ; that the wound appeared to the witness to have
been given by the puncture of a fork or some such instrument,
and looking about he discovered a fork lying pear the corpse,
which he took up, and observed it to be marked with the initial
letters of prisoner's name ; the witness et the same time pro-
duced the fork in Court, which the prisoner owned to be his,
and waved asking the witness any questions.
" A second witness deposed, that, on the morning of the
day on which the deceased was killed, the witness had
risen early with an intention to go to a neighbouring market_
town, which lie named ; that as he was standing in the entry of
his own dwelling-house; the street door being: open, he saw
the prisoner come by, dressed in a suit of clothes, the
colour anti fashion of which the witness described; that
lie (the witness) was prevented from going to market, and
that afterwards the first witness brought notice to the
town, of the death and wounds of the deceased, and of the
prisoner's fork tieing , found near the corpse; that upon this
report the prisoner was apprehended, and carried before a
Justice of the Peace, whom lie named and pointed at the
being then present in Court; that lie (the witness) followed
the prisoner to the Justice's house anti attended his exami-
nation,' during which he observed the exchange, of raiment
which the prisoner had made since the time when the wit.
ness had first seen him in the morning; that at the time of
such examination the prisoner was dressed in the same
clothes which lie had on at the time of the trial, and that
on the witness's charging him with having changed his
clothes, he gaVe ,several shuffling answers, and would have
denied it ; that upon the witness's mentionidg this circum-
stance of the change of dress, the Justice granted a war-
rdnt to search the prisoner's house for the clothes described
by the witness as having been put off since the morning ;
that the witness attended and assisted at the search, and
that after a nice inquiry for two hours • and upwards, the very
clothes which the witness had described were discovered con-
cealed in a straw bed. Ile then produced the bloody clothes in
court, which the prisoner owned to be his chithes, and to have
been thrust into the straw bed with are intention to conceal
them, on accotrwt of their being bloody.
" The prisoner' also waved asking thia• second witness any
questions.

" A thifd witness deposed to his having heard the prisoner
deliver certain menaces against the deceased, from whence the
,prosecutor intended to infer a proof of malice prepense. In an-
swer to which the prisoner proposed certain questions to the
Court, leading to a discovery of the occasion of the menacing
expressions deposed to, and from the witness's answers to those
questions, it appeared that the deceased had first menaced the
prisoner?.
?? The prisoner being called upon to make his defence, ad-
dressed the following narration to the Court, as containing all
he knew concerning the manner and circumstances oflthe death
of the deceased,viz. "That he rented a eiose in the same parish
• with deceased, and that the deceased ferited another close ad.
joining to it. That the only way to his own close:WU through
that of the decased,:and that on. roe day the murder in thein-
dictinent was laid to be committed, he rose early in the mom:
ing, in order to go to work in his close, with his fork in -his
hand, and passing through the deceased's ground, he observ-
ed a, man at some distance from the path, lying down as
if dead or drunk,•• that he thought himself bound to see
What condition the: person was in, and upon getting up to.
,him he found him at the last extremity, with- two wounds
in • his breast,; from which a great deal of blood had issued,.
that, in order to relieve him ha raised him up, and with great
difficulty set him in his lap--that he told the deceased he was
greatly concerned at his unhappy fate, and the more so as
there seemed, to be too much re:: on to apprehend he had.

been murdered—that he entreated the deceased to discover,
if possible, the occasion of his misfortune, ass-tiring him .he
would bl se his utmost endeavours to do justice- to his suf-
ferings t. that the deceased seemed to be sensible of whit
he said, and in the midst of his agonies attempted, as he
thought to speak to him,' but being seized ruffling in his
throat, after a hard struggle, he gave a dreadful groan ~and vomit-
ing a great deal of ,blood, somevf which fell on his (priXtier's)
clothes, he. expired in his arms;' that the shock he. felt on ae-
count f this accident was not to be expressed, and thasrather
as it was well knoVitt that there had been a differenCe between
the deceased and himself, on which account he might possibly
be suspected of the murder; that he thereibre thought it advi:
sable to.loave the deceased in the condition he was, and to take
no. farther notice of the matter ; that, in the confusion he was
in when he left the place, he took away the deceased's fork. and
left his own in theroom of it, by the side of the corpse ;- that
being obliged to gO to his work, lie thought it best to shift his
clothes, and that they might not be seen, he confessed he hatl
hid them in the place where they were found • that it was true
he had denied before the justice that he had dianged his clothes
being conscious that this was an ugly' circuinstance.that might
be urged against him, and being unwilling to be brought into
trouble if he could help it; and -concluded his story with a Xo---
lemn declaration that he had related nothing but the truth',
without adding or diminishing one tittle, as he Should answer it
'to God Almighty.' Being then 'called on to produce his
nesses, the prisoner •answered with a steady composed counter
nance and resolution of voice, • II ehad no witness but God and
his. own conscience.'

" The Judge then proceeded to deliver his charge, at which'
he pathetically enlarged on the heinousness of the crime, and
laid great stress on the force of the evidence, which, although
circumstantial only, he declared he thought to be irresistible,
and little inferior to the most positive proof; that the prisoner
had indeed cooked up a very plausible story, but if such, or
the like allegations, were to be admitted, in a case of this kind,
no murderer would ever be brought to justice, such bloody
deeds being generally perpetrated in the dark, and with the
greatest secresy ; that the present case was exempted, in his
opinion, from all possibility of doubt, and that they ought not
to hesitate one moment about finding the prisoner guilty.
" The foreman begged of his Lordship, as this was a case
of life and death, that the Jury might be at liberty to with-
draw, and, upon this motion, an officer was sworn to keep
the Jury. _ _

" Tliis trial came on the first in the morning, and the judge
having sat till nine at night, expecting the return of the jury;
at last sent an officer to inquire if they were agreed in their ver-
dict, and to signify to them that his Lordship would wait no
longer for them. Some of them returned for answer that eleven
of their body had been of the same mind from the first, but that
it was their misfortune to have a foreman that proved to be a
singular instance of the most inveterate 'obstinacy, who hav-
ing taken up a different opinion from them, was unalterably
fixed in it. The messenger was no sooner returned, hut the
complaining members, alarmed at the thoughts of being kept
under confinement all the night, and despairitt of bringing
their dissenting brother over to their own way of thinking;
agreed to acceed to his opinion, and having acquainted him
with their resolution, they sent an oiliCer to detain his Lordship
a few minutes, and then went into Court, and by their foreman
brought in the prisoner not guilty. His Lordship coald not
help expressing the greatest surprise and indignation at this un.:
expected verdict, and, after giving the Jury a severe admoni-
tion, he refused to record their verdict, andNent them back
again, with directions that they should he locked up all night;
without fire or candle. The whole blame was publicly laid on
the foreman by the rest of the members, and they spent the night
in loading him with reflections, and bewailing their unhappy
fate in being associated with so hardened a wretch ; but he re:
maimed quite inflexible, constantly declaring he would Suffer
death, rather than change his opinion.
" 4 As soon as his Lordship came into-Court the next morning;
he sent again to the jury, on which all the eleven members
joined in requesting their foreman to go again into Court, as.:
suring him they would adhere to their former verdict, whatever
was the consequence, and, on being reproached with their
former inconstancy, they promised never to desert or recrimi.;
nate upon their foreman any more. Upon these assurances;
they proceeded into Court, and again brought in the prisoner
not guilty. The Judge, unable.to conceal his rage at a verdict
which appeared to him in the most iniquitous light, reproached
them with the severest censures, and dismissed them with this
cutting reflection. That the blood of the deceased,lay at their
door.

" The prisoner, on his part, fell on his knees; and with
uplifted eyes and hands, thanked God for his deliverance;
and addressing himself to the judge,- cried out You see, my
Lord, that God and a good conscience are the best of wit.:
messes.

" These circumstances made a deep impression on the
mind of the judge, and, as soon as he was retired from court,
he entered into discourse with the High Sheriff, upon what had
passed, and particularly examined him as to hit knowledge of
this leader of the Jury. The answer this gentleman gave his
Lordship was, that he had been acquinted with him many
years—that he had an estate of his own of above ttl/1. per
•annum, and that he rented a very considerable farm, besides—
that he never knew him charged with anill action, and that he
was universally esteemed in his neighbourhood.
" For further information his Lordship like Wise sent for the
minister of the parish,- who gave the same favourable account
of his parishioner, with this addition, thit lie was a constant
churchman, and a devout communicant.

" These accounts rather increased his Lordship's perplexity,
from which he could think of no expedient to deliver himself,
but by having a conference in private with the only person who
could give him satisfaction. This he desired the Sheriff to
procure, who readily offered his services, and without delay
brought about the desired interview.
" Upon the Juryman's being introduced to the Judge, his
Lordship and he retired into a closet, where his Lordsip
opened his reasons' for desiring that visit, making no scruple
of acknowledging' the Uneasiness' he was under, and conjuring
his visiter frankly to discover his reasons for acquitting the pri-
soner. The Juryman returned for answer that he had sufficient
reasons to justify his conduct, and that he was neither afraid
nor ashamed to reveal them, but that he had hitherto locked
them up in his own breast, and was under no compulsion to
disclose theta, he expected his Lordship would engage-upon his
honour to keep what he was about to unfold es secret as he hirsi-
self had done ; which his Lordship having promised to do, the
Juryman then proceeded to give his Lordship the following
account That the deceased being titheman of the parish
where he (the juryman). lived, he had, thelmorning of his de-
cease, been in his (the juryman's) grounds amongst his corn,
and had done him great injustice, by taking more than his due,
and acting otherwise in a most arbitrary manner. That when
he complained of this treatment, he had not only been abused
with scurrilous language, but that the deceased had likewise
struck at him several times with his fork, and had actually
wounded him in two places, the seats of which wounds he
then showed his Lordship.—that the deceased seeming bent on
mischief, and he (the juryman) having no weapon to defend
himself; had no other way to preserve his own life, but by clos-
ing in with the deceased, and wrenching the fork out of his
hands, which having effected, the deceased attempted to re-
cover the fork, and in the scuffiereceived the two wounds,which
had occasioned his death—that he was inexpressibly con-
cerned at the accident, and especially when the prisoner was
taken up on suspicion of the murder—that the former assizes
being but just over, he was unwilling to surrender himself, and
to confess the matter, because his farm and affhirs would have
been ruined by his lying in a gaol' so long ; that lie was sore
to have been acquitted on his trial, for that he had consulted the
ablest lawyers upon the ease, who had all agreed, that as the
deceased had been the aggressor, he would only be guilty of
manslaughter at the most—that it was true he had suffered
.greatly in-' his own mind on the prisoner's account, but being
well assured that imprisonment would be less ill consequence
to the prisoner than to himself, he bad suffered the law to take
its course—that in order to render the prisoners confinement as
easy to him as possible, he had given, him every kind of assist-
ance, and had wholly supported his family ever since—that in
order to get him cleared of the charge laid against hint, he
could think of no other expedient than that of procuring him-
self to be summoned on the Jury, and set at the head of them,
which with great labour and expence he had accomplished, hay..
big all along determined in his own breast, rather to die himself
than suffer any harm to be done to the prisoner.
" His Lordship expressed great satisfaction at that account,
and after thanking him for it,-and making this further sti-
pulation; that in case his Lordship should happen to sur-
vive him, he might then he at liberty to relate this story„
that it might be delivered down to posterity, the conference
broke up..
" The Juryman lived 15 years afterwards; C. J. DYER in,
quired after him every year, and happening to Survive him, de-
livered the above relation."

ROBBERY AT THE AIi;CTION

The following circumstaricog, which •compre.- -
hend what occurred before the Prefect of Police at Paris, on.
the subject of ..the robbery of Mr. Rober=tson, at the Auction.
Mart, will fully explain the nature of the transactions which
took place after the four 1,0001. notes diSappefutd. •
Mr. Robertson,' some -time after the robbery, learned that
one of his notes was stopped at . the Bank,.tYbere It had been
presented by a respectable Irish gentleman, who, without he-'
sitation, stated that he had received it of Monsieer Chauvica,
at the Palais Royale, a money-changer. This note WS
ihunbered 303. Mr. Robertson immediately set off for Pane',
and employed an interpreter to attend him to the Prefect of Po-•
lice. fie had taken with him several letters from Lord Gren-•
vine, and other men of rank, to,oine of the members of the,
French Government, requesting, ti:eir interference to facilitate
the detection of the robbery. The interpreter, who was not
acquainted with the name' of the party to whom the note had
been traced, upon making inquiry about the Palais Royale,
learned that a money-changer, named Emericque, had a note
for 1,000/. which had been stolen 'in London. It afterwards
proved, very much to Mr. Robertson's surprise,- that two of
notes,s.Nos. 304. and 303, were thus likely to be obtained.; -.
and the Prefect of the Polict-immediately undertook to inves--
tigate the case.

`Emericque, money=changer,' No. 20, Palais Royal; made a
declaration, of which the following is the substance
That about the middle of May last, two Englishmen, ac
companied by a young man (also English) who acted as inter=
preter, came to. his 'shop, and offered a thousand. pound bank
note for sale; that after haggling smite' tithe about the price,
they went away, saying they might return in a few days ; that
a few days afterwards they did return, during the absence of
Emericque, and offered the note to his wife, who, after some
demur, purchased it; for 25;000 francs. Ou Entericque's rem
turn home his wife mentioned what she had done, and he, on
looking at the number of the note, discovered- it to be one.of
those mentioned in the printedbills. Emercique was much
embartasstd by this circumstance, and immediately applied to
111 r. Rothschild for his advice.—(l'lr. Rothschild appears to
have declined all interference in the business, intimating that
he had been requested: to circulate the notices of -the rob=
bery, but thought he was not bound to take any steps in pur=
suing the thieves.).A day or two after this Entericque's wife
observed one of the men who sold the note passing the shop.
EMericque immediately ran out, and asked. hint if he had.
net sold him a note for 1,0004 saying at the Sante time, that
the note was stolen, and the money must therefore be returned.
The man at first denied all knowledge of the affair, but on
Emericques' insisting said,• " Do you take me for a robber ?
and insisted that the note was a good one, and that ht: had re-
ceived it from his banker in England, adding, at the same
time, that he was willing to take hack the note and return
Emericque the money. Emericque was not able to produce the
note immediately, having deposited' it with his bankers, and it
being too late to procure it from them that day. In order,
however, not to lose sight of the Englishman, he accompanied
him to his hotel, (r Hotel de Valois, rue de Richelieu) : on ar=
riving at the hotel, the Englishman without any preface placed.
25,000 francs in the hands of the mistress of the hotel, desiring
her to pay them' over to Entericque on his delivering to
her a Bank note for 1,000/. 'The English Man left Paris that
night. The following'day the money was paid over to Eme-
ricque, on his giving up the note. •
The declaration of Monsieur Ethericque then contains the
names of the Englishmen concerned in this transaction, which
are the sante as those Mentioned in the following memorandum
given by the COmynissaire de Police to Mr. Robertson.
Memorandum given to Mr. Robertson—
The person who gave the note to 111. Emericque, the money=
chalger; towards the middle of last May, is Mr, Yyse, calling
himself the brother-in-law of Mr. John Palip, both established
in London, and keeping there a straw-hat shop. The person
who returned to M. Emericque, through the hands of the mis.
tress of Motel de Valois, the value of ttie note, is Mr. John
PalM. Mr. John Palin set out the same day from this hotel
for England. Vyse, jun., who seas boarding at the end of
the.Fattbonig St. Martin, was with him:
Emericque told the Corinnissaire de Poltee, though it is not
stated in the declaration, that the number of the note received.
by hiin was 302.

Monsieur Chauvica's dealing was, as far as we could learn,
with a person not known to him, who applied to him merely as
a money-changer, and received the value of the note No. 303.
It is certain, however, . that he had previously received notice
from 111 r. Rothschilde that it was a stolerr note. Mr. Robertson
Uponindemnifying the Bank, will receive the amount--
The Irish gentleman who received it from Chauyica has an
undeniable claim upon the money-changer, who must look
after the person whom he accommodated with change for the.
stolen note.

'There was a refereke made by Mr. Harmer on Saturday to
the evidence of Emericque and his• wife, and Madame Marcel.
He wished to know why those persons were not produced ; to
which Mr. Nobler, the solicitor for the prosecution, replied, that
he was of opinion, and he was borne out in that opinion by able
professional men, that the presence of the French witnesses was
not necessary at the Mansion house, although it probably
would be before the Grand Jury.
Application was- made to the Secretary of State, to request
the Erench authorities to' interfere, in order to ensure the ap=
pearance of Monsieur and Madame Emericque, and Madame
Marcel, to give evidence at the Old Bailey. The Secretary
has, we understand, written to the French Government upon
the subject, and expects-an answer daily.

Cunious LUNATIC.—An Inquisition was last
week held at the White Hart Inn Salisbury, to inquire whether
a gentleman of property, named Sackville Burroughs, Esq.
was or was not adunatic. Mr. Sackville Burroughs (the luna-
tic) stated, that the people in the house had been using Coercive
measures with him; that they wished to take away his pro-
perty; that he hada large sum of Money, from 20R to 300,0001.
in Paris, sent there by Mr. Corms, in case he should be arrested
while on the Continent; that he had been in Parliament for
Preston, in Lancashire, and had been voted a, Peer of the Realm.
Dr. Finch; in describing the incoherent notions of Mr. Bur-
roughs, said, among other things, when he first came to me, the
Duke of Wellington was an object of his revenge. He said he
had been persecuted by him on account of his having greater in-
fluenee'in the country than the Duke, and on account of his pro--
motion. Ile then changed the subject from the Duke to Lord
Liverpool, and said, if he had an opportunity, lie would kick
them, and shoot them, and be revenged on th'cm. About a
fortnight ago, Lord Radnor and Lord Folkestone.w ere objects of
his revenge. He believes in supernatural agency, and fancies
that the secrets of the Cabinet are conveyed to him thereby. He
says that the Ministers have given 5,000/. each to Lord Folke-
stone and others to rat. He told me he had- been elamining
Dr. Rees's Cycloptedia, and found that nine things in tea Were
wrong. He said Dr. Rees, called a ship a machine ; but he
called k a piece of a machine, made up of sympathy. I asked
him how an inanimate thing could be capable of sympathy.?
He answered, in the same manner as the wool of a coat sym.
pathised with the sheep from which it was taken. Ile famiieS
himself a Peer of the _Realm, and has with his-peerage from l
to 310,0001. •

• ,
Dr. Grove examined--I had some conversation with him
about the Cabinet Ministers. He said Lord Liverpool and Lord.
Grey, under the sanction of the King,. had murdered Mr• Per-
ceval. tasked him how he knew ? He said he had sectct in-
telligence that a man at Mr. Warburton's had provided the pis-
tol. He said all his meat was drugged ; it had a great effect
upon his constitution, and made him as rampant as.a bull. He
said he had a large sum of money left him by the will -of. Mr.
Coutts ; that he was in the possession of Yontbilk which he in,
tendedao sell, He talked of starting a stage-coach from Fiznit-
hill to. London, and said he knew he should lose 2,0001. a,year-
by it, but still he would start it. He also said he was a Peer of
the Realm, and sat in the House of Commons; that he had a
privilege of sitting ih either House. He abused Rees': Cycic.
pceditz, and said he could write a better in 'a few weeks. Ile also
abused Lord Pembroke. He told me he was-not mad, but was
confined hy.Government on account of opposition to the Minis-
ters. He also told me many other things, but he spoke so inco-
herently I could not follow him.
Richard Noyes, Esq. was examined—His evidence was' to
the same effect. Ile considered Mr. Burroughs as a confirmed,
lunatic.
The Jury decided that he Wai.of ".uniound mind, Without
lucid intervals."
