SEPTEMBER 16, 1879. if King’s College, Windsor.

Wa have received a copy of the Calendar of King’s College, Windsor, N. 5., for 1879- 80. It contains full information on all matters connected with the university

course; and those intending to enter the |

college, or thinking of doing so, will learn from its pages all that they require. The teaching staff consists of a president and four professors, who lecture on the f: illow- iug subjects: —Classics, mathematics, natural philosophy, chemisiry, natural history, English literature, divinity, logic, rhetoric, French, German. Although » Church of England institution, it is open to students of all] denominations, who, in every respect (except with regard to degrees in divinity), are on the same footing as members of the Church of England. There is probably no institution of the kind in the Provinces where the cost ef education is made so low. Some years ago an endowment fund was raised by giving to all who subscribed a certain sum the right of nominating a stu- dent to pass through the course free of all fees. ‘There is a large number of these nominations, and one can generally be pro- cured without difficulty ; so really a student can get there a college education free of Charge, having only to pay for his board and lodging.

Tho list of scholarships and prizes isa very good one, and a young man of in- dustry and ability is pretty sure to win something that will materially assist hii. Among the prizes are three Stevenson scholarships, $80 each, tenable for two years ; threo General Williams prizes, $60 each, one for each of the following subjects — ‘Mining and Mineralogy,” ‘‘Mechanics and Civil Engineering,” ‘‘Modern Lan- guages;” and the McCauley Hebrew prize, $45. There are also the Welsford Testimonial (for first year men only) ; the McCauley scholarship ; the Bishop’s prize and some others. There are besides special ad- vantages for divinity students who intend entering the ministry.

The regular course lasts for nine terms, i. ¢., three years. After matriculation, there are two University examinations, viz : responsons generally passed at the end

f the fifth term, and the degree examin- ation at the end of the ninth. There are also College examinations at the end of every term. Unless the student passes these his term does not count. Up to the time of passing responsions the studeut must attend lectures with all the professors ; but after that he selects his special subjects for degree. The object of this regulation ia to secure a good general education, and at the same time to give an opportunity for men who have an aptitude for special sub- jects te give special attention to them. These regulations apply to the arts course, Besides that, there is an engineering course, speeially intended for Civil Engineers. In this course classics are omitted, but mathe- matics are studied more fully than in the ordinary course.

A year or two ago arrangements were made by which candidates for matriculation need not go te Windsor for examination. The papers are sent from the College, and a local committee appointed by the Gov- ernors superintend the examination,—the candidate's papers being sent by them to the College authorities. The committee for Charlottetown are :

Hen. Mr. Justice Hensley,

_ Frederick Breeken, Esq., M. P.,

Frederick Peters, Esq., B. A.,

A. B. Warburton, Esq., B. 0. L.,

Rev. G. W. Hodgson, M. A., Sec’y.

In the present year another step has been taken to bring the influence of the Univers- ity to bear upon the general education of the country. Examinations will be held at various places for any person, male or yemale, who are not members of the Uni- vers. Consequently, any school which desires to do so, may have any of its pupils examined at home by the University ex- aminors.

Those who pass the junior examination recsije a certificate; those who pass the

feiilae examination receive from the Uni-

Se tae a ERR RET OE ET He —

versity the title of Associate of Arts. As

inaday or two, publish full particulars about the subjects, &c., of these examin-

\of the pupils from our City Schools (and, ‘indeed, from our country ones too), present | themselves for this examination.

It is quite evident from the calendar that King’s College is well equipped and and actively at work, and while making a well-tried systen the basis of its work, is, atthe same time, not unmindful of the special wants of the age. “ean? |

The Sequestration of the “Patriot.”

‘Since Henry {Monmouth first began to

Before whdss glory I was great in arms

This hateful sequestration have I had.”

— Shakespeare.

Hypropnosia is not the only disorder in whch the patient is afflicted with a strange dread or antipathy. Writers on mental science relate many instances in which per- sons tolerably rational on other subjects are afliicted with certain hallucinations which the use of a particular phrase or word is sure toexcite. In discussing some matters in connection with the Vice-Regal visit we used a word which has a wonderful effect onthe editor of the Patriot. It is from no desire thowever to aggravate what may become a case of incipient insanity, or to metaphorically shake a red rag in a bull’s face,that we use the same word in the head- ing of this article ; but simply because we know no other word which so fully express- e3 the meaning we wish to convey. Chagrined at the loss of Government patronage and surrounded by men chagrined in the same way, the Patriot has for the last six months indulged in a style of politi- cal discussion which for scurrility has never been equalled on this fsland. It is true that the language used in the paper is so coarse, and the charges he makes so manifestly un- just, that no annoyance or injury to the individual attacked, can possibly result from his writings. The practice of calling nicknames is so low, and exhibits so much childish bad nature, that it disgusts every sensibleman. There was a time whena por- tion of the Island press teemed withscurillity against the Hon. Edward Whelan—the il- lustrious founder of this paper. He was nicknamed the “‘dirty-faced urchin” by men whose memory is now forgotten, while the name of Whelan is revered and honored by every Prince Edward Islander. Attacks on private characters are still more repre- hensible, and it has been observed that men whose private lives will the least bear in- vestigation, are generally the first to drag private matters before the public. They may probably reason on the ground that not having much good character to lese, they may be able to bring others to their own level. Inall these raatters they are fatally mistaken ; and the foul weapons which they use invariably recoil on their own heads. The general public is always candid, and will invariably rally round the cause of justice and fairplay. Men soured

at the loss of their emoluments and nursing their political _griefs until they have become chronic

may think that a line of attack which com- mends itself to their own not very well bal- anced judgments will be received with favor by the general public, but they could not possibly makea greater mistake. With the ‘private griefs which they have and which make them do wrong” the public can have no sympathy, and will surely bring flagrant and persistent violaters of journalistic decency to strict account.

We notice with pleasure that the Patriot’s style of discussion is not adopted by any other paper on the Island. Besides; the Patriot the Summerside Journal is the only paper which opposes either the Dominicn or Local Governments; but in tene and in ability it is immeasurably superior to the Patriot. For its journalistic uncleanness the Patriot is regarded with abhorrence by decent people. It is set apart; and its editor has only himself to blame for this ‘hateful sequestration.”

Dominion Finances.

THE revenue of the Dominion for August was $1,978,000. The revenue for Septem- ber will almost certainly be in excess of this amount ; and in October it will in all prob- ability be larger. So the hopes of the Op- position that there would be a deficit at the end of this year, as at the end of the three previous years, are not likely to be realized.

The best of it is that though the revenue is increasing, the cost of living-—the burdens of the tax-payers have—-not increased. Never were the necessaries of life to be procured more cheaply than now. Flour is cheap. Cornmeal is cheaper than ever. The pric of tea and sugar has not gone up. A prophets. the Opposition politicians are mis- erable failures. But the country is wel!

Quebec Politics. Tue Hon. Alexander Chauveau, Provincial Secretary, has resigned his seat in the Cabinet

last evening. The hon. gentleman professes

as much loyalty as ever for Mr. Joly, but he believes that a coalition ig the best way out of a dead - lock

brought about by the obstinacy. of the Legislative Council, and claims that he is sup- ported‘in this opinion by a number of Liberal members. If a coalition is formed by Mr. Joly, Mr. Chauvean will rejoin him.

The Recent Robbery.

EXAMINATION AT THE STIPENDIAhY MAGIS- TRATES COURT.

Last evening a report was circulated throughout the city to the effect that a gang of burglars had been captured in the woods on the Malpeque read, and that a consider- able amount of spoil had been discovered in their den. This report attracted a large numver to the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Ceurt this morning, when the burglars, three in number, were examined. Im- mediately on the arrival of the Magistrate the examination commenced. The names of the prisoners—Michael Burns, Edward O’ Neill and William McKinnon—were called and responded te by the prisoners standing up. The threeare equal in size and age— sixteen years—but very different in appear- ance. The charge preferred against them was the stealing of about $30 in cash anda quantity of ready-made clothing from the store of Messrs. Beer & Sons, King Square. Mr. Geo. Beer was the first witness called. He stated that on Saturday night, the 13th inst., he locked the shop on King Square. The front door was fastened with two locks —one a small spring catch which opened from the outside, and the other a Chubbs’ patent pad-lock. At 1.30 the following day he discovered that the store had been en- tered by the front door. ‘The padlock had been skillfully removed from the lower part ef the door, and the upper—or spring catch—had been forcedopen with a crowbar which was evidently inserted under the door and worked up towards the smaller lock. The inside of the shop was much disordered. One of the tills lay empty on the counter, and two ethers were partly pulled from their usual position and emptied of their contents—about thirty dollars. Only one dollar was left. In one of the tills was an envelope containing eight dollars. The money was taken and the envelope left. Boots, knives, ete., were ‘scattered about the store, and a quantity of burned paper was strewn over the counters. In the office the locked drawer of a small table was burst open ; the front of the drawer chopped off and the contents scattered about the floor. In the upper, or tailoring department, large quantities of clothing was scattered about the floor. He could not form an idea of the amount of clothing taken. He par- ticularly missed a brown cloth jacket.

The goods recovered from the prisoners were produced and to a great extent iden- tified by Mr. Beer. The brown cloth coat particularly missed by Mr. Beer was found on the prisoner MoKinnon and positively identified. ‘ihe hats which were got with the prisoners were also identified by Mr. Beer—they having his own figures on the inside. e also identified tickets which were found in the pockets of the prisoner McKin.10n, as being tickets attached to the clothing by the cutter. In the pants found on the prisoner Burns, was a peculiar kind of red a keting—bed -ticking rather —which Mr. Beer said was used in their establishment.

The City Marshal was the next witness called. He said that on Monday evening, he, with a squad of police and constables, surrounded a bush below Job Bevan’s, on Malpeque Road, where the prisoners were hid ; drove them eut and arrested them. They made determined efforts to escape. When arrested the prisoners were all dressed in new clothes. Burns took off the new coat which he wore and threw it into the bush. They searched the prisoners’ pockets in the police station and afterwards disrobed them. In the pocket of the pants worn by the prisoner O'Neill was a ticket with ‘Win. West, length 33}” marked on it, In the pocket of the vest worn by McKinnon, was a ticket marked ‘shop vest, 2,25.” The clothing taken off each prisoner was placed in a separate bundle. The prisoners had a carpet bag with them which contained all their old effects, as well as some new clothing. When arrested they were dressed as follows :

O'Neill, new black pants, new shoes, old coat.

McKinnon, new brown cloth jacket, new felt hat, new dark tweed panis,—with “McKay” marked on watch pocket—new vest.

Burns, three new shirts, new black coat, new vest, new felt hat, new pair red flannel drawers.

The carpet bag contained two pairs of old pants, an old coat, a pair of old shoes, two old hats, two new coats, Burns claimed a pair of old pants and a pair of old shoes which were in the’carpet bag; and O'Neill

McKinnon claimed one of the old hats. Three of Messrs. Beer & Son’s clerks Were then examined, and identified the

eer part of the clething produced. in u 7

‘The prisoners were then remanded to jail

ot await further examination for larceny.
