GEESE FINANCE.

The following in the communication made by " a
gentleman holding • high sod influential official position in
Athens" to M. Stefano, Xenon, and by K. Stefan, Xesos
to the Times, ou the prospector of the Greek bondholders
o. 1824-26 :
" Athens, Nov. 20.
"The question of the loans of 1824.25 is so unpopular
and preterite so marry difficulties—ned the Greeks so little
understand the arguments of the English—that no political
man, no government, will dare to support a question whose
tendency is to throw so heavy • burden on the public
treasury. It is true that this bunters appeare to promise
the development of large moral and material resources. Our
people will oot believe in the realisation of these promises.
and they are becoming more determined, as the late financial
crisis is disappearing, and we believe now that oar affairs
cee be arranged without asking for • new foreign loan. For
these reasons I consider that the question of the loans of
1824-25 is entirely at an end, not only for the present, but
for moray yens to COMO. The press is as unanimous sgaitet
the question as the people."

roam the earth looking for bills and then coming in end
viewing the apartments and stickling about terms and never
at all wanting them or dreaming of taking them being

explained if by any miracle it oould be. It's wonderful

moth sad going from
house to house and up and down stain all day, and then
their pretending to be so particular and punctual is a most
astooishiog thing, looking at their watch.. and saying
" Could you give me the refusal of the rooms till twenty
minutes past eleven the day after to-morrow in the fore-

•• Certainly by all MOM" well knowing it's a Wandering
Christian and I shall hear no more about it, indeed by this
time I know most of the Wandering Christians by sight as
well as they know me, it being the haNt of each individual
revolving round London in that capacity to come back about
twice a year, and it's very remarkable that it runs in fami-
lies and the children grow up to It, but even were it
otherwise I should no sootier bear of the Mead from the
country which is a certain sign than I should nod and say
to myself You're a Wandering Christian, though whether
they are (as I tare heard) persons of small property with
a taste for regular employment and frequent chasm of
mane I cannot undertake to tell you.—Mrs. Limper's
