The high feelings of the members of the University
indignantly spurned the administration of the Bribery
Oath, and this practice, which had not been in force
on former occasions, was abandoned.
In the City, Mr. WARD yesterday gained consider-
ably on Mr. WOOD, and has to-day passed him. The
friends of the LORD MAYOR continue sanguine as to
his success, relying on the spare votes of Mr.
TflomPsoN, which will be given the last day. What
a mortification to the pride of the meddling Alderman
will it be, if he should he ejected from his long con-
tinued seat in the House of Commons ! We anticipate
this consummation So' devoutly to be wished,' by
the tone in Which Mr. POLLEN has addressed the
Livery in Mr. WooD's behalf, which evidently be-
speaks apprehension for the Alderman's fate.
At Chichester, Lord GEORGE LENNOX and Mr.
I'OYNTZ have triumphed over Sir GODFREY 'WEB-
STER and the Radicals.

At Preston, COBBETT remains at the bottom of
the roll.
The Yorkshire Election has happily closed by the
resignation of Mr. BETHEL", which saves the other
Candidates the enormous expence which would other-
wise have been unavoidable.

Hobart Town Papers to the 14th of January were
received .at the North and South American Coffee
Houses by tl .e Denmark Hill.
(From the Colonial Times of the lSth January.)
Avsx-HANG it as.—No accurate information has been received
from them up to the time of our going to press. We have been
informed they have retired into the interior, somewhere in the
neighbourhood of the, &Iles. We are entry to announce to the
inhabitants of Hobart Town, that we have received information
that it is the intention of to remove the establish-
ment of the lumber yard, to New Norfolk, thus is the long threat-
ened removal of the seat of Government to be carried into effect.

City Lot:, FEn. 9, 18Q6.—The Anna Brown, from Nicobar,
Islands to Rangoon, experienced stormy `weather and sunk two.
tiays after Nailing, according to the accoont« given by two Nathan

of April part of the crew, the rest having been washed over-
board. The schooner lieliaariu.s, Hawkins, foundered at sea the
12th of April.

By letters from Cronstadt, dated 29th May (MS.), they were
in expectation of receiving a visit from the Emperor Nicholas.
Great preparations were making to receive , him with the highest
honours ; all the vessels were to hoist their colours, and man the
yards of the Neva, of Hull, by men dressed in blue jackets and
white trowsers ; all the Russian men-of-war, consisting of 13 sail,
are full rigged, at anchor outside the Mole. The town of
Cronstadt was, however, in a most deplorable state ; most of the
shops were seized and seals put on the doors and windows, and
the inhabitants sent to prison, in consequence of the Government
having found stores and other property concealed in them, which
had been plundered from the arsenal.

The Concordia, Williams, from Batavia, hound for. A.ntwerp,
put into the Cape of Good Rope, with loss of tbremast, and hay.
lug thrown overboard 149 hags of coffee.

By the Denmark packet, Captain Foreman, arrived at Cowes,
kom New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, papers and
letters have been received to the 17th January, from the latter
port. We lament to observe they are chiefly filled with continued
distressing accounts of the depredations of the Rush Rangers,
who rob and plunder the settlers there in the most
daring manner. It would appear they go in bodies well armed,
and these robberies are frequently attended with violence and
even murder. The Governor seemed unpopular, but he was
using every exertion, and extremely anxious to put down . this
dreadful system, in which he had the best wishes of all the Co-
lonists.

Accounts from Constantinople state, that the third Turkish
fleet had sailed from the Dardanelles, and that a ship of the line,
commanded by Achmet Effendi, had *truck on the coast of Scu-
tari. It was expected, that Achmet Effendi would lose his life
in consequence of this being the third vessel he had lost.

of gold and silver, to a Port in Franca' to pay Ole Neapolitan

pirates.

We never remember any contest which excited such
an intense anxiety as that now going on for the honour
of representing the University of Cambridge.
The present .state,, of this contest has verified the
predictions which we hazarded before its commence-
ment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S return is Se-
cure, but the result of .the struggle between the
other, candidates is still not quite certain, though
victory seems to hover over Lord PALMERTON.
His Lordship standing on the support of those
who do not object to further concessions to the
Catholics, and consequently carrying with him the
support of all
.the Whig's. of the University, has
had a decided advantage over Mr. BANKES and
Mr. GOULBURN, whose principles agree in all
leading points, the effect of which has been to split the
votes of the advocates of those principles. It is still
thought that Mr. BANKES may be returned, as it is
presumed that if it be once clearly ascertained that
Mr. GOULBURN has no chance of success, he will
resign before his committees are polled, by which
means they will be able to give their votes to Mr.
BANKES.
