alternately in the Syllogistic and Forenic Way. The Sub- ject of the First, which was syllogistic, was the following Thesis, Conservatio non est continua Creatio, which was well defended and opposed. This, agreeable to the Order before mentioned, was succeeded by a forensic Dispute on this Question, Whether a Prince, endowed with the Vir- tues of Civil Government, but not with military, is to be preferred to one of the most shining, military Genius, if he is destitute of the Virtues necessary for the governing in Peace ? Which was decided in the affirmative, after being debated on both Sides with much Spirit and Elo- quence. To relax the Attention of the Audience, an Eng- lish Oration on Politeness, was pronounced by Mr. Joseph Periam, which gave universal Satisfaction, from the Just- ness of the Sentiments, the Elegance of the Composition; and Propriety with which it was deliver'd. The Thesis next debated was, Anima humana, dum in Corpus infundi- tur, a Deo immediate creatur; which afforded Pleasure to the learned Part of the Auditory: The Exercises of the Forenoon were concluded by a forensic Dispute on this Subject : Whether Moral, as well as Mathematical Truths, are capable of Demonstration ? Which was judi- ciously maintain'd and determined in the Affirmative, to general Satisfaction.
The Entertainments of the Afternoon were begun by a Dispute, which was very ingeniously managed by the Respondent, on this Thesis; Sensus Moralis, qua simplex Perceptio, atque Moralis Obligationis Fundamentum non datur. The last Question disputed by the Bachelors being, Whether Noah's Flood was Universal ? Gave agreeable Amusement to the Auditory, by the popular and pertinent Manner, in which it was canvassed. A valedictory Ad- dress in English, pronounced by Mr. Isaac Allan, with a graceful Ease and Propriety, closed the Exercises of the Candidates for the Honour of Batchelor's Degree.

On Monday last, between the Hours of II and 12, in the Forenoon, departed this Life, in an advanced Age, after a long and tedious Indis- position, the Honourable Colonel JAMES HUDE, of New- Brunswick, Esq; a Gentleman, who, for his great Probity, Justice, Affability, Moral and Political Virtues, was uni- versally esteemed and beloved by those that knew him. He passed thro' almost all the Honorary Offices and Em- ployments in the Government where he lived, as well those in the Gift of the Crown, as those in the Voice of the People. At the Time of his Death, he was one of his Majesty's Council, Mayor of the Corporation of New Brunswick, &c. &c. In all his Offices he was conspicuous for his inflexible Integrity and Honesty. His Death is not only an irrepairable Loss to the Poor, who had at all Times free access to his Person, and his Advice and As- sistance without Fee or Reward, but to the Publick is Sub- ject of great Regret. He was a most tender and loving Husband, an indulgent Father, and kind Master. He has left a disconsolate and weeping Widow and Children. Blessed are the Dead which die in the Lord, from hence-
