The Visitor reported the following Draft of a Memorial to the Ri^ht Honorable '^ the Secretary of State for the Colonies, prepared under the Resolution of the 29th November last. To the Right Honorable Lord Stanley, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the CkAoniea : The Memorial of the Governors, President, and Fellows of King's Coljege, at Windsor, in the Province of Nova-Scotia, Incorporated by Royal Charter in 1802, respectfully sheweth : — That when His late Maiesty Kins George the Third was pleased, in the year 1787, to found the first Colonial Bishopric m the British Dominions, by erecting the Pr'^Vince of Nova-Scotia into an Episcopal See, it was thought essential to the most nrportant objects of that foundation, that provision should be made for pro- curing the blessing of a liberal education within the Province ; and accordingly the. attention of the Lieutenant-Governor was immediately called to this sdbject, by special instructions from the Crown. That in compliance with these instructions measures were promptly adopted to establish a mucn more efficient Seminary of Learning than had previously existed in this Colony, and such aid as could be supplied by the Provincial Legislature was generously afforded, and soon afterwards a small Annual Income was secured by a permanent Law which appointed and incorporated the Governors of King's College. That His late Majesty was graciously pleased to view these first efforts with paternal regard, and to enconrage their object by Hie /al favor and munificence. That the Governors of King's College were acco. ly assisted from the year 1790 to 1795, by sundry Parliamentary Grants from x^agland, which enabled them to erect a temporary wooden building, with accommod$ition for a President, a Stew- ard, and thirty Students. "That the Institution gave early earnest Ci future usefulness by the benefits which it dispensed at once, under all the disadvuniages of its commencement, with very limited means ; and in the year 1802, His late Majesty was pleased, by Letters Patent, to incorporate the King's Co'tlege as a Royal Foundation, with th0 privi- leges of an University, and to recommend to Parliament the Grant of £1000 ster- ling, per annum, for its support. That as the means of the Institution were thus enlarged, its usefulness witip pro- portionally increased. All the Colonies in North America have partaken of its benefits. Many individuals, well educated within its walls, have filled, Qn4 now are filling, important stations both at home and abroad, in many portions of Her Majesty's extensive Dominions ; and while adorning their several Professione with the advantage of good learning and sound principles, have been renderina viklHible service to Uietr ^vereign and their Counti^. Many Clergymen, edi»^at *V. ^ t APPENDIX, No. 43. 205 ■it / ■ tentions expressed in the Charter which contemplated the establishment of more Professorships and more open Scholarships than havo hitherto been provided. That the nope of snch increased support was encouraged by the desire of the Royal Founder, graciously expressed on several occasions, for the prosperity of *' His College," as His Majestv was pleased to call it, and by an intimation oifMr. Pitt, conveyed by Mr. Grenvilie, that Exhibitions should be founded in the Uni- versities of Oxford and Cambridge for the most distinguisned Students from the College in Nova-Scotia. That in consequence of such encouragement, the Governors of the College made applications for the expected increase of Income, and particularly in the year 1822. The pressure of various matters upon the Government at that time was represented as creating a necessity for delaying this increase, but the hope of its future attain- ment up to that period had never been discouraged. The continuance of this hope, and the confident belief that the Income obtained from Parliament was to bo re- garded as a permanent endowment, induced extraordinary exertions, which soon afterwards obtained from private benevolence, sufHcient funds for a temporary re- pair of the buildings at Windsor, and for large additions to tho valuable Library and Philosophical Apparatus of the College. ' That to the overwhelming astonishment of the Governors of the College, they were suddenly informed, about twelve years ago, that the Yearly Grant from Par- liament must no longer be expected, and thus the ruin of the Institution seemed inevitable. That under these appalling circumstances the Society for the propagation of the Gospel, which, for nearly a century and an half, had been co-operating with the r-overnment in measures for the religious advancement of the Colonies, most be- nevolently interposed and resolved to give such aid as they could afford for a sen- son, in the hope that tho difficulties of the Government would be diminished and cease to interrupt the support of the College. That this benevolent Society have continued their assistance for eleven years, until pressed by urgent claims upon their bounty from the numerous Colonies, now extending in al* quarters of the world, they have been involved in an expenditure beyond their income, to the ruinous amount of £10,000 a year, although that in- come has been raised by great exertions to £70,000; and they have> therefore been compelled, most reluctantly, to give notice that their Grant to King's College, which was only intended for temporary relief, must no longer be expected. That the ruin of the valuable and important Institution, under the care of your Memorialists, again seems inevitable, unless the bounty of the Government, on tho perpetuity of which bounty there was full reliance, should again be extended to it; and if the increased measure of assistance which has already been hoped for, and is still much wanted, cannot yet be afforded, your Memorialist» would earnestly pray that ^e annual grant of £1000, which is essential to the preservation of tho College, may be graciously restored. Trusting, therefore, that the importance of the object to the best interests of this Colony, an object which, from past experience, may justly be regarded as a bond of permanent attachment and union between the Parent Country and the Colonists, will be deeply felt and powerfully plead on their behalf. Your Memorialists thus make their respectful and earnest application to your Lordship, that a representa- tion of the present unhaf^ condition of King's Collie may be dutifully laid at the Foot of the Throne, from whence they will humbly hope for such relief as may appear proper to the Royal benevolence and bounty. . Resoivtd, Tlwt Ui« said Memorial be aidopted— that the College Seal be affixed to it, and that the Secretary do sign tne same on behalf of the Board.

Ernest Haw- kins, Secretary to the S. S. G., requesting him to enquire for a fit person to fill the situation of Professor of Mathematics, if the Funds of the College, whose pre- sent situation had been made known to Mr. Hawkins, should be so enlarged, as to enable the Governors to make suitable provision for such Professorship. The Visitw also stated that he had written to the Rev. Dr. Porter, requesting him to communicate with Mr. Hawkins, if his son the Reverend Charles Porter^ should be well qualified to fill the ofllice of Mathematical Professor, and should be desirous to obtain it. The answer of the Right Honorable W. E. Gladstone, Secretary of State for the Colonies, to the Memorial of the Governors, dated Mb Ddcember, 1845, was read as follows : N— In your Lordship's Despatch of 2d January iast, No. 362, you announce to me that a Memorial from the Governors of King's College, Windsor, in Nota Scotia, would shortly reach me through his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. I have accordingly received the Memorial through that channel ; and I encloM for your Lordship's information a copy of the answer to the Archbishop on that subject. I have, &.C., &>c. [Signed] W. E. GLADSTONE Lieutenant-Governor The Viscount Falkland, Slc, &c., &.c ^ .' f . f - ^ ■ it .^y. Downing Street, I6th March, 1846. ' Mr Lord — I have had under my consideration the Memorial transmitted to me by your Grace from the Governors, President, and Fellows of King's College, in Nova Scotia, representing the diminished income of that Institution, and praying Her Majesty's Government to apply to Parliament for a vote for its support. I trust that it is unnecessary to assure your Grace that I have learnt with sin- cere concern, that owins to the numerous claims on the liberality of the Society for the propogation of the Gospel, that Society has felt itself compelled to intimate its intention of discontinuing the grant which it has made for several years to King's College. I can readily understand that the loss of this grant will be most detri- mental to the interest of the College ; but I cannot bring myself to believe that any difficulty will be experienced in obtaining, either from public sources or from the liberality of private parties in the Provinv'se, the necessary means for maintaining the College in active operation. It is, however, proper that I should state to your Grace, that whatever may be the result of such applications in Nova-Scotia, Her Majesty's Government would be indisposed to recommend the House of Commons to make a grant from the Re- venues of this Country for the support of the College. Twelve years have now clapped since any vote was taken in Parliament for that Institution ; and in the in- terval, owing to the improved resources of the Province, Parliament has ceased to contribute funds for carrying on the public service of the Colony, which it had been accustomed to do for many years. I cannot therefore invite your Grace to expect that Her Majesty's Government would ask the House of Commons to renew a spe- cial vote which has ceased for so many years, and for the resumption of which the present resources of Nova-Scotia do not afford any adequate justification. I have, &c. [Signed] ^ W. E. GLADSTONE. ^ His Grace The Archbishop of CANTBRBURr. ^ *'" ' ^ Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to ascertain whether Funds can be raised from other sources, and especially by the exertions of the Alumni of the Col- lege, to aid the Institution under its present embarrassments. Resolved, That the Visitor, the Chief Justice and the President, be a Commit- tee for that purpose. Resolved, That the Visitor, the Reverend the President, and Mr. Jeffery, be a Committee to direct such repairs as may be necessary to be made to the Buildings of the College and the Academy. The Board adjourned. ' i I APPENDIX. No. 43. 900 At a Meeting of the Governors of King's Colleffe at Windsor, held at the Go- \ vemment House in Halifax, on Tuesday, 8th day of Septr., A. D., 1846.

The Secretary informed the Board that he had received a Letter from the asso- ciated Alumni of King's College, requesting to be informed whether the Govornorf wished the Alumni to attend the Enceenia. Whereupon, the Secretary of this Board was directed to inform the Secretary of the associated Alumni, that it will be gratifying to the Governors to witness n lui- merous attendance of the Alumni at the annual meeting at the College at Wind- sor ; and also to meet as many of them at dinner at Brass' Hotel as Mr. Brass cnti accommodate. The Visitor mentioned that he had been informed that some dissatisfaction had been expressed at Windsor, in consequence of Mr. Irvine being unwilling at pre- sent to receive more than a limited number of Day Scholars ; upon which it was) Resolved, That the subject shall ' < considered at the annual meeting at W^ind- sor, when the Governors will have ai. <;' vportunity of conferring with Mr. Irvinu. The Visitor also suggested, for the .consideration of the Board, whether it will not be desirable that two additional Governors be chosen by the Board, agreeably with the authority given to them by the Charter ; whereupon it was Resolved, That a meeting of the Board should be held on Monday next, to de- termine this question. Then the Board adjourned until Monday next, the 14th instant, at 13 o'clock. * At a Meeting of the Governors of King's College, at Windsor, held at the Gov- ernment House, in Halifax, on Monday, the 14th day of September, A.

Then the Board adjourned. At a Meeting of the Governors of Kins's College, at Windsor, held in the Libra* ry ofthe College, on Tuesday, 22d day of September, A. D. 1846. PRESBNT — His Excellency Major General Sir John HxavBY, K. C. B. &. K. C. H., Lieutenant- G o vernor . The Riflht Rev. and Hon. the Visitor, J. Inglis. The Hon. the C. Justice, B. Halliburton. The Rev, the President of the College, G. Macaulay. The Honorable T. N. Jeflfery. Pursuant to notice previously given, the Governors met at the Academy and proceeded to the examination of tne Pupils, which was ver^r satisfactory. They afterwards went through the Building, and were highly gratified at the neatness exhibited throughout, and at the arrangements of Mr. Irvine for the comfort of the Pupils. After finishioff at the Academy, they proceeded to the Library of the College, and opened the Meeting with fRATIRS. The Minutes of the last Meeting were road ■>. Read a letter from the Judge of the Vice Admiralty to the Secretary, stating that the indisposition of Mrs. Stewart prevented his attendance at the Meeting. The President stated to the Board the course of study pursued at the College, which was ordered to be published. The President also reported, that some expense had been recently incurred, in repairing the Buildings, which were now in a perfect state of repair. The Account of A. B. Campbell, Carpenter, and Kilcup, for Gravel, amount- ing to £99 68. fid., for work done at the College and Academy, was referred to the Visitor, and, upon being approved of by him, was ordered to be paid by the Treasurer. Resolved, That the President be authorized to have a new Gate made for the Academy. Read the Memorial of Dr. Mantovani, Lecturer on Modem Languages and Literature, relative to the payment of his Fees by the Students, and requesting that none should be exempted from the payment of Fees to him. Whereupon, it was Resolved, That although the Governors have great respect for Dr. Mantovani, and arc desisous to place him in the highest position, consistent with the Statutes, they have not the power to appoint him to a Professorship, w*^ ':iut the qualifica* tions required by the Statutes. The Governors are also dwirous to encourage every Student to add to his other attainments a knowledge of Modem Languages,. '~an advantage which they consider Dr. Matttovani hi^nlj qualified to aiibra them, — and therefore they wish to adhero^ »> the Rule, which was adrded facilities to the Inhabitants generally for the education of their children ; and it is matter of deep resret to them that the dimi- nution of their Income now compels them to devote the whole of it to the main- tenance of the College alone. The Act of the Legislature, under which the Governors receive £400 sterlinff, per annum, directs them to apply that sum to the support of a College ; but while they possessed other means, tliey gladly appropriated a part of them to so desira- ble an object as the establishment of a School, in connection with the College ; and the most, if not all of the Petitioners are aware, that they annually expended £300 currency, to effect that object— £200 to the Chief Master, and £100 to an Assistant, who instructed the English Scholars. Unfortunately those means are now withdrawn. They found themselves unable to pay any Salary to a Principal or Assistant Master, and were apprehensive thai they should be compelled to close the School altogether, when, fortunately, they met with a gentleman, a Master of Arts of tho University of Cambridge, who produced ample testimonials of his capacity, and who offered to open a School in the Collegiate School-house, without a Salary, provided he had the House rent free — that it should be kept in repair for him — and that he should not be expected to employ an Assistant, until he himself should deem it necessary. Aitnough this offer circumscribed the power which the Governors had hitherto exercised over the School, and placed Mr. Irvine much in the situation of a gen- tleman who kept a Private School upon his own terms, yet they gladly closed with it, as they thought it far preferable to leaving the School-house untenanted, which would have been very injurious to the building itself, and would have deprived both the College and the Province of the limited benefit which, under the arrangement, both will derive. The Governors regret, that under these circumstances they have no authority to enforce upon Mr. Irvine a compliance with the wishes of the Petitioners ; but they earnestly hope, that he will soon find it conducive to his own interest to employ an Assistant, and to make his School as extensively useful as the Petitioners desire. The Visitor informed the Board that since his arrival in Windsor, he had receiv- ed a letter from the Reverend William Gray, D. D., expressing the readiness of that distinguished Member of King's College, to proceed at once to England, to execute the Commission intrusted to him by the Governors, and, aided by Henry Bliss, Esq., of the Inner Temple, another distinguished graduate of this Univer- sity, to make all possible exertion to improve the pecuniary resources of tho Insti- tution, by exciting an interest on its behalf, among the benevolent in the Parent Kingdom : whereupon, it was Resolved, That tne Visitor be requested to inform Dr. Gray of the high value ' which the Governors attach to the kindness and promptitude with which he is pre- pared to promote the wishes of the Board and the interests of the Institution ; 53 and SIS APPENDIX, No. 43. and to expteia to Or. Gray the reMoni which lead them to apprehend, that it may not be jiMnoioua to prefer any claima in England, until some effectual efibrti have been made among ouraelves to aid the Institution, in its preaent difficulties ; but as tbey entertain Aill hope that such efforts will be successAilly made, in a few months, they trust it may be consistent with Dr. Gray's convenience to delay his visit to England for that time. Then the Board adjourned. At a Meeting of the Governora of King's College, at Windsor, held at the Govern- ment House in Halifax, on Wednesday the 11th day of November, A. D. 1846. .

Resolved, That the Visitor, the Chief Justice, and the Judge of Vice Admiralty, be a Committee for that purpose.

No. 43. tl9 Board on the llth intt., reported that the Committeo had net tho Conmiittae of tho Aisociate Alumni, and in reply to the firat enquiry fVom that Committee, had stated that no addition had been made to the number of GoTemora ; that some doubt had been expreeied, at the Bowrd of GoTemora, as to the expediency of making any addition, but the Board generailv were inolined to add to their number, and the more inclined, because they were led to think such addition would bo in accordance with the wishes of the Alumni. The Committee of the Alumni were requested to supply six names, from which the Governors would most probably elect two, agreeably with the provision of the Charter. The Committee received this Suggestion very kindly, but not being authorized to supply such list of names, the^ determined to call a General Meeting of tho Associate Alumni, as early as their rule, which required fi week's notice, would permit. The answer to the second enq^uiry from the Committee, was, that the Governors, in the hope that the Funds of the College would supply the deficiency in their Funds, had resolved to attempt the support of the College for 1847, on the Scale of Expenditure which had been handed to the Alumni who met in Juno last. Resolved, That the Visitor be authorised to draw up an Appeal to the friends of the CoUeffe generally, and more especially to the members of the Church, and such of the Alumni as have not yet joined the Association, or contributed to the College, requesting their assistance, and stating the necessity of receiving such assistance at or before the close of the present year, which may be sent to the Treasurer of the College, or the Treasurer of the Associate Alumni in Halifax, or the Treasurer of the Associate Alumni in New Brunswick, as may be most con- venient to the several contributors.

D. jind whereas, It has been communicated to the Associated Alumni of King's College, Windsor, by the Governors of the College, that the funds at their disposal are inadequate to support the necessary number of Professors to render the Univer- sity ethcient. Heaolved, That the Association will provide the sum of One Hundred and Twen- tv-iive Pounds, Currency, for the support of Dr. Mantovani, as Professor of Mo- dern Languages during the year 1847, and that the Secretarjjr of the College draw for the said sum, quarterly, upon the Treasurer of the Association : whereupon, it was Resolved, That James B. Uniacke, Esquire, and Lewis M. Wilkins, Esquire, be elected Governors of the CoUeee, pursuant to the provisions of the Charter. The Speaker dissenting, (vide Post Page 126, per protest.) Resolved, That the Board thankfully accept of the provision of £135 for the year 1847, made by the Associate Alumni for Dr. Mantovani, Lecturer in Modem Lan- Suages and Literature, and that the Secretary and Treasurer of the College do raw quarterly on the Treasurer of the Associated Alumni for such provision. Resolved, That the Secretary do transmit the foregoing Resolutions to the Se- cretary of the Associated Alumni, with a request that he will lay them before the Associated Alumni. The Visitor read the following Paper, wbicii he had prepared by request of the Governors at the last meeting : ' t^.' King's College, at Windsor. The Governors of this Institution consider it a duty at the present time to make the following Statement and Appeal : They gratefully acknowledge the liberality of the Provincial Legislature, by which the Seminary was sustained in its infancy, and has been greatly assisted from that time to the present. £400 Sterling, per annum, were granted to aid in its support more than sixty years ago, by a permanent Act, when the Revenue of th« Province was comparatively small. Soon afterwards means were obtained from the British Parliament, through the benevolence of the Founder of the University, King George the Third, for the erection of the present building. More than forty years have elapsed since a Royal Charter was obtained and it was the first that was granted to apy Academical Institution in the pivsent Colo- nics of the Empire. Nearly at the same time an endowment of £1000 Sterling, per annum, was pro- vided by the bounty of the British Government ; and it was earnestly hoped and believed by the Governors of the College that this endowment, which was essential to the permancy of the Institution, would be perpetual — in this hope, however, they have been disappointed, after the lapse of thirty years, during which the grant was regularly received — it was discontinued in consequence of the pressure upon the Government. Its discominuance at first threatened the existence of the College, but the benevolence of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel saved it foi* the time. This venerable Society had been actively engaged since the first settlement of the Province in providing for the religious instruction of its Inhabitants, in confor- mity with the pnnciples and government of the Church of England. Being aware of the connection of the College with that Church, and knowing the services which had uniformity rendered to it, the Society most kindly extended their relief, and in the 'I I- ^»*iffjK» ^w APPENDIX, No. 48. £16 tr- I the hope that the Government would reserve their patronage of the Inalittotioii, they resolved as a temporary aid to grant £500 a year to the College. With this aamst- ance, after reducing the number of officers, and curtailing the expenses of the Insti- tution, the Governors endeavoured to preserve its usefulness, and are thankfhl for the measure of success which has attended their exertioAs. But, unhappily, the venerable Society, after a continuance of their assistance for eleven years, being urgently called upon for a vast increase of their expenditure for Missionary objects in the widely extended Colonies of the Empire, have been com- pelled to give notice, that after the expiration of the present year, their help must unavoidably be withdrawn. As soon as this notice was received a respectful but earnest Memorial from the Governors was forwarded to Htr Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, but without any present relief; and they now turn to all who can feel an interest in the welfare of the Institution in the hope of assistance to save it in this hour of its great need. The desire of the Governors is to support the College until something more ex- tensive can be attempted upon its present limited scale, altho' it must oe evident, that it is too limited to realize all the advantages which the Instituticm would aiford, if that scale could be extended by an increase of Professors and Scholarships. At present the establishment consists of: - < ^^iJi '^ .rwo Currency. 1. The President, who does the duty of two Professors, at a Salary of £385 2.
