knowledge which they bad previously acquired, II
Peculiarly fitting them for Indian stations, and
C°'lsequently oblige them to resume their studies
for that immediate purpose. Is it not probable,
4lso, that many may be seduced by pleasure, and
4equire habits of dissipation, which, if they even
retained the knowledge requisite for the service,
'night accompany them to the East, and carry with
them the seeds of vice and folly, tending to cor-
nipt their future associates, when removed from
the discipline of an immediate supervision.

Lisbon Gazettes to the 14th inst. have arrived.
rrheY are chiefly filled with extracts from the
London Papers, relative to the proceedings of
Don Pedro in the Brazils. Great hopes were
entertained at Lisbon from the circumstance
of his Brazilian Imperial Majesty having dis-
solved the Chamber of Deputies ; but the ex-
Pectatious indulged in of Brazil being again
brought under subjection to Portugal, will be
greatly disappointed when the fact becomes known
!here of the Emperor having given a new and
'liberal Constitution to his subjects.

OXFORD ELECTION.—The death of Mr. FANE,
thexi late Member for this County, having OCCa-
n'f:HIV a vacancy in the representation, a Meeting
the Freeholders was yesterday convened by
thre High Sheriff, at the Town Hall, Oxford, for
the Purpose of electing a new Member, when Mr.
An; the son of the late Member, was proposed,
andi
no opposition appearing, was declared to be
duly elected. Sir GEORGE DASHWOOD had inti-
mated an intention of canvassing the county ; but
On hearing of Mr. FANE'S intention of standing,

terday afternoon.

On the. Foreign stock Exchange the Greek
Loan continues to command the chief attention
of speculators, and also of those who want good
interest for their money, with fair security for
its payment. They have risen since yesterday
11 per cent., for confidence is restored by the
declaration published in all the Papers this
morning by the Greek Committee, that no
other Loan will be wanted for Greece, and that
Mr. Orlando and his Colleague are alone au-
thorised by the Greek Government to raise
money for any part of their Empire. In
the prospectus of this Loan it i• omitted
to be stated, that dividends for two years are
by the contract retained in this country, with
a Sinking Fund of one per cent., at the end of
Which time the independence of Greece will, in
every human probability, be completely esta-
blished, and the richest parts of Europe and Asia
will be sufficient guarantee to the Holders of
Grecian Bonds, which will then undoubtedly be
the best in Europe. In Austrian Scrip a good
deal of business has again been done at nearly the
Prices of yesterday. The successful progress of
Christianity in Greece adds much security to the
Austrian Empire.—(:horning Chronicle.)

Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with
Earl
BATHURST.
Viscount MELTILLE continued confined yes-
teray by indisposition, we regret to say. The
stadte of the Noble Viscount's health was much
the same as it was on Tuesday.
Captain BURTON, of the Cameleon sloop of
war, who so gallantly captured the Algerine
corvette, is promoted to the rank of Post Cap-

The Hamburgh Correspondenten of the 10th
inst. contains the following article, dated " Santa
-Fe de Bogota, Nov. 29. On the Ist of January
inext Congress will be opened. Thirty-three
New Projects of Law are already announced as
'being ready to be submitted to the National As-
sembly. The Government has ceded several
large tracts of Land to Messrs. POWLES and
"GRAHAM, of London, as Colonies for settlers."
A Letter from Prague, dated 27th ult., says,
the•earthquakes in the circle of Elubogner still
Continue ; that is to say, they occurred almost
daily from the 16th to the 20th, at Hartenberg
and at Eger. Ocular demonstration has been af-
forded of one of the effects resulting from tkis
state of things in the physical world. Springs
that had been dried up for years had again be-
'come productive, so that many wells which had
been long dry once more yielded plenty of water.
The
barometer, on the 23rd, at seven in the even-
ing) stood at 26, 7 9-tenths. It was consequently
6-tenths below the average temperature. The
depressed state of the quicksilver, and the rapid
changes it has undergone tend to encourage the
Wee that further phenomena may be expected in
the natural world.
A Letter from Frankfort communicates, the
distressing intelligence, that from 80 to 90 dwel-
ling-houses were totally consumed by fire at
b
ac"wich, 20 miles distant from Gotha, on the

CONST. V. HAnats.—We are sorry to perceive
that our Reporter mistook what the Loan CHA
vELLon. said in this cause, on Tuesday, as, in-
stead of according to the application for delay,
,
I'4 Lordship said that he would not interfere,
41131' should the Court be played with, observing
that it would give him pleasure if both parties
should request him to relieve the concern from
such a scourge as a Receiver, which however was
Ordered accordingly.
