DUTCH AND HAMBURG MAIL

HAMBURG, Nov. 17.—1 t is probable that the convo-
cation of the Assembly of the Estates will be further
put off, and that they will not meet before the Spring.
It appears that there is no doubt that the present As-
sembly will be again convoked, not dissolved.
POSEN, Nov. 20.—The Chapter at Posen has ad-
dressed a circular to all the Deans in the Diocese, in
order in some degree to check the abuses which were
caused by too great zeal in carrying into effect the gene-
ral mourning of the church. The Chapter has therefore
issued a circular expressing its dissatisfaction at the
manner in which the order for the mourning of the
church has been carried into effect.—Hamburg Papers,
November 29.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 30.—From the answers of the
Governments to the observations of the Second Cham-
ber on the projects of law now under discussion, it ap-
pears that the Government participates in the opinion
of the Chamber ; that the Syndicate, after the treaty of
the 19th of April, 1839, no longer answers the object of
its institution, and that it therefore intends to propose
its abolition in this session, when every information on
the subject will be given.
AMSTERDAM, DEC. 2.—The Government has in a
great degree complied with the wish of the nation, ex-
pressed by its representatives and by the press.
Publicity respecting the finances, the abolition
of the Syndicate, information respecting the af-
fairs of the East Indies,—these were the chief wishes
the fulfilment of which was argued with energy, and
good reasoning. They apprehended melancholy conse-
quences unless their energetic, but well-meant de-
mands were in some degree complied with. Never
before were such detailed explanations given respect-
ing the budget. The abolition of the Syndicate is
commenced ; many particulars and calculations relative
to the Indian finances are communicated.

THE HAGUE, DEC. 2.—ln the sitting of the Se-
cond Chamber to-day an amended project of law respect-
ing the loan of 56 millions of florins was introduced ;
also three other projects of law, in which some changes
have been made by the Government. A Royal mes-
sage was received, accompanying a project of law, rela-
tive to the national militia.
The favourable state of the market for Dutch Stock
yesterday was the forerunner of to-day's market. The
purchasers were numerous and the demand brisk, so
that the prices commencing with the closing prices of
yesterday soon rose above them. The shares of the
Commercial Company, in consequence of very large
purchases, rose 3 per cent. There was much demand
for Spanish on account of the higher quotations from
Antwerp, and, partly from the good state of the Dutch
market, many purchases were made. All this attracted
attention from other foreign Stock, but all descriptions
were firm.—Dutch Papers, Dec. 24.

GENERAL POST OFFlCE.—Workmen have
been busily employed in making certain necessary altera-
tions in the paid letter office and other departments of
the establishment, preparatory to the new system which
commences on Thursday next.—Edinburgk Paper of
Tuesday.
The Alleffemeine Zeilung has a letter from
Turin, which says :—One of Cabrera's agents has been
to this capital, but has met with no sympathy. W. e
are told, however, that he has been more fortunate in
another part of Italy, where he has obtained from, a
reigning prince a million and a half of francs. 'I his
agent has gone to Rome, where he is making strenuous
exertions in favour of the Carlist cause. Two of
Queen Christina's agents have also arrived in Rome,
commissioned to settle the religious differences between
the two Courts. The Spanish Government has joined
in this negotiation a dignitary of the Church of Spain.'
GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.—Last week the
fossil remains of a fine young elephant were found just
below the gravel in a pit in the abbey ground at Barn-
well, the property of Dr. Geldart, and near the
river side. Unfortunately the skeleton' had been muti-
lated and destroyed by the unskilful hands of the work-
men, before Mr. W. M. Taylor, geological collector,
beard of it ; and he was only able to rescue two fine
molar teeth of the Elephas India: in excellent preserva-
tion. Mr. Taylor has left the specimens with the
University.—Conibridge Advertiser.
