rials of it were evaiftWy used is the foundries of the
chapel of Braemar College, in 1868. The college had
acquired this property by exchange with Henry Earl of
Huntingdoe, tad Elisabeth. The celebrated Erasmus pur-
sued his studies at this eollep in 1497-8; and Bishop Ferrer,
the martyr in Quern Ilary's ergs, bad bus tee of the regu-
lar canons. Atter the dissoladoe there were two principals;
but the college being expressly beaded fee the education of
Augustinian monks does not appear to ham recovered treat
the blow which it reosived at me suppression of the monas-

There are still several rearm of old buildings in the space

cloisters is still to be seen in New Inn Hall-lama The house
and garden belooging to the Regius Professor of /lodides

a wall which ran parallel with Bewje-Iva., in swim* re-

the lane baa been partly stopped up. Its name implies the.
it farmed • communication between Neethgate-street (sow
Cornmarket) and New Inn Haitians." The principal r'

according to Anthony Wood, as "The Sever

the pretence in Oxford of the heir tie the British throne is

We ass informed by one very long connected with Christ
Church that George I V., wham Prince of Wake, resided for
some time at Christ Church, la the early part of the dean-
ship of Dr. Cyril harm, who, with the Bishop of Glou-
meter, was hi. tutor; while we leers hem the calendar of
granites that the Duke of York, the sewed son of George
111., wee • member of the same society, and was created •
D.C.L. in 1799. The name* of George IV. and the Doke of
York appear on the books of Christ Church at the data of
1814, when Oxford was visited by the allied soveredges.
We understand that the Prince of Wale, will probably
reach Oxford on Wednesday oat.—Wird Chtrtreick.

LORD HARDWICII ON TEE ARCTIC =PIM-
TION AND ERR P.RIHO DISAB7IR.
At the 1 dinner of the West Cambridgeshire
sad South fleets Arieshum' Society, held on Friday last,
at Kneftworth, the Earl of H•ILDWICILK, in responding to
the Meet of " The Navy," said he might with propriety and
gratitude advert to the catheilicent services rendered by the
gallant Captain Sl'Clustock, who had so nobly placed before
the country the result of the great expedition in which he
had been engsgri—the close of this series of expeditions
which the country had undertaken, and which had ended la
the solution of a vest geographical problem. (Hese, hear.)
His lordship hsvisg enticed at some length into a &scrip-
[Pin of the El'Cllntock Arctic Expedition, In which the fate
of the gallant Franklin had been settled, he mid he bad
fervent hopes that eves yet some tidings might be heard of
the missing men. Some of the last t hens of their remains
were found south of King William island, pear the
entrance of the statuary wbtch leads to the Great Fish
River. In that quarter there wee plenty of game, and
that, added to the intercourse still to be had with the
Esquimau:, led him to hope for the beet. (Hear, hear.)
He fervently trusted that some day or other tidings might be
heard of them. As regarded the service to which he had
more especially alluded, be deemed that they were in the
highest degree indebted to the gallant 11`Cluitock for the
successful results of his expedition. (Hear, bear.) He (the
Earl of Hardwicke) would allude to another important point
—the recent mishap In Chins. He would abstain from saying
one word ea to the generalship or the admiralship which
attended that expedition. He himself knew nothing of the
country—he bad never SINS the ground—and consequently
could tone no correct extinisto as to the circumstances attend-
ing the affair. But he could form thestbante of the daring, the
courage. the resolution, and the great bravery 'manifested by
those who wets engaged init. (Cheers.) There had been the
same exhibition of intrepidity, the same gonad bearing, the
same Indomitable courage shown es that which had charac-
terised every instance in which the arms of our heave coun-
trymen had been called Into play in whatever quarter of the
world. (Loud cheers.) The gallant leader in that expedi-
tion—the brave commander-in-chlet in that sad ass—had been
himself severely wounded. (Hem, bear.) Whenever they
saw their intrepid ofhoers gallantly performing their ditties
under lire, canine of all but the performance of those duties
and their country's honour, they felt themselves bound to
offer them their et-Maude, their admiration, and their esteem.
(Cheers.) Englishmen never deserted those who so gal-
Ithtly erred them, even though they might be unthecessful
in their efforts. The greatest naval men the world ever ear
was once defeated—Nelson, at Tenerife, when he was
severely wounded, nay, when he lost his right sem. But U
Earn had she been supported by his country subsequently
—if his country had not upheld him by their prilerou. *yin-
patby they would never have seen the hero of a Trafalgar or
a N,ile. (Load ethers.)

CAPTAIN LONOLIT.B SPEECH ON THE PISMO

von, reminding him of the conviction which be bad ezpreseed

paper, end seeded kb the Doily New., which alma lam

London have cerapared our report of Captain Longley's

correct. Our report did not make Captain Langley say the
war wee unjuntiliable. The tact is the captain, se some

berme permitted thereat:ling-desk to be desecrated by &num-
ber of bricks placed there, inaatnuch as they were intended to
prevent the chafing dish, need for drying the place, from in-
juring the wood of the desk, and moreover that It was the
