" Sir,—Twelve years ago I became afflicted with Rheumatic GT.ut. I procured the best advice possible, but without deriving benefit ; and the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary, where I continued twelve weeks, and left it without obtaining any benefit, and all hope of relief had vanished. " This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised me to try Flair's Pills. I then lost no time in sending to Mr. Mortlock, of Stamford, for a box, and by the time I had taken that quantity I got rid of one crutch. I then sent for another box, which enabled me to throw away the other, and, thank God, I have never since had such an attack. ' - " I am much exposed to cold ; but, whenever I feel symptoms of attack, I have recourse to the rills with universal success. . . —.......---.. —..— -- .. ,—........ " I recommended the Pills to a gentleman who resides in this neighbourhood, and he has derived the most essential relief there from. and is now never without them. . You naay publish this for the benefit of those similarly afflicted. " I am, iSir, your obedient, humble servant, "SAMUEL BLAKE, " Smith and Fer." The never - falling effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHE UMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains in the Head or Face, and indeed of every Rhematic or Gouty affection ; in fact, sucn has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence.

We recognise in this matter one of the weightiest problems of the kingly calling bestowed on us by God, in the solution of which a twofold aim is marked out .or us—namely, to transmit the rights, the dignity, and the power of the Crown inherited from our ancestors of glorious memory intact to our successors on the throne ; but at the same time to grant to the faithful States of our monarchy that co-operation which, in unison with those rights and the peculiar relations of our monarchy, is fitted to secure a prosperous future to our country In respect whereof—continuing to build on the laws given by his late Majesty, our Royal Father, now resting with God, particularly on the ordinance respecting the national debt of the 17th of January, 1820, mid on the law respecting the rezulation of the provincial Diets of the sth of June, 1823—we decree as follows:- 1. As often as the wants of the State may require either fresh loans or the introduction of new taxes, or the increase of those already existing, we will call together around us the provincial Diets of the monarchy in an United Diet, in order, firstly, to call into play that co-operation of the Diets pro vided by the ordinance respecting the national debt; and, secondly, to assure us of their consent. 2. W e will for the future call together at periodical times the Committee of the United Diet. 3. To the United Diet, and, as its representative, to the Committee of the United Diet we entrust.

(b) The co-operation of the Diets in paying the interest on, and liquidation of, the State debts, provided by the law of January 17th, 1820, in so far as s uc h business is not confided to the deputation of the Diet for the national debt. (c) The right of petition upon internal, though not merely provincial, matters. • All the above, as is more closely defined in our ordinances of this day respecting the formation of an United Diet, the periodical assembling of the committee of the United Diet and its functions, and the formation of a deputation of the Diet for the national debt. While we thus far refer to the promises of that Gracious Sovereign our Royal Father, on the raising of new loans, as well as the increase of existing taxes, which are founded on that system of the German Constitution, bound up with the assent of the States; and in thereby giving to cur sub ects a special proof of our royal confidence; so we expect in return the like confidence from their often-proved fidelity and honour, as was shown when we ascended the throne of our father, and also we expect that they will support us and our efforts directed solely to the welfare of the country, on which effort success under God's gracious assistance cannot fail to await.

(L.S. ) ORDINANCE OF THE 3, OF FEBRUARY, 1847, FOR TUE FORMATION OF THE UNITED DIET. We, Frederick William, by the Grace of God King of Prussia, &c., having taken the opinion of our Ministers of State, make the following ordinance, in pursuance of our letters patent of this day, in the matter of the affairs of the Diets, respecting the formation of a United Diet. Sec. 1. We shall unite the eight Provincial Diets of our Monarchy in one Diet as often as is necessary according to the tenour of our letters patent of this day. or on any other occasion when we think it needful on account of urgent matters of State. With regard to the place of assembly and the continuance of the session of this United Diet, as well as with regard to its opening and close, we will make a special determination in each particular case. Sec. 2. We grant to the Princes of our Royal House, as soon as, according to the prescriptions of law, they . have attained majority, the right of sitting and voting in the Estate of Princes, Counts, and Lords at the United Diet. The Estate of Nobles in this Diet is composed, besides, out of the Princes and Counts of the old Imperial constitution who have seats in the Provincial Diets, as well as out of the Silesian Princes and Noblemen, and all other founders, Princes, Counts, and Lords of the eight Provincial Diets, who are entitled either to a single or collective vote in those Assemblies. The Princes of our House may, under our sanction, in case of hindrance, intrust some other Prince of our House with the disposal of their votes. Single members of the Estate of Nobles who are invested with full powers in the Provincial Diet retain this privilege in like manner for the United Diet. In respect to the organization and enlargement of the Estate of Nobles, we reserve to ourselves the right of further regulations. Sec. 3. The Deputies of the Estate of Knighthood, and the commoners of the eightprovinces of our monarchy, are to , provincial Diets. Sec. 4. To the United Diet we entrust the co-operation reserved to the Provincial Diets in case of State loans by Art. 2 of the ordinance relative to the national debt, dated January the 17th, 1820; and, accordingly, no new loans for which the collective property of the State may be assigned as security (Art. 3 of the ordinance of January 17, 1820) shall be contracted without the concurrence and guarantee of the United Diet. Sec. 5. If new loans, of the nature mentioned in Sec. 4, are required for covering the expenses of the State in time of peace, we will not contract them without the consent of the United Diet. Sec. 6. If, however, in the event of expected war, or war already broken out, the funds in our Treasury and other reserve funds are insufficient for the requisite purpose, extra ordinary supplies and loans must, therefore, be raised; and, if urgent political circumstances should dot admit of our ap peal to the United Diet, the said loan shall be raised with the concurrence of the deputation for the national debt, which concurrence shall stand in lieu of the co-operation of the States. Loans for the above-mentioned objects. con tracted with the concurrence of the deputation, will be raised on the same security as that which in Art. 3 of the s a o l n oan the b . e re r m ai o s v ed al in of th t e he manner b m i entione h d Sec. w S a h en o ip d l pl ordinance of January 17, 1820, is assigned for the national of to the United Diet, call it together, debt. and explain the J object and application of the loan. Sec. 8. Moreover, the United Diet, conformably with Art. 9 of the ordinance of January 17, 1820, must propose to us the candidates for vacant posts in the chief department for the administration of the national debt; and, conformably with Art. 13 of the said ordinance, the accounts for the administration of the national debt, drawn up by the depu tation, must be carefully examined by the United Diet, and submitted to us for discharge in separate resolutions. United Diet w e will ernaolrly or in increase theal amount of When the United Diet is not sitti ng , thi s b us i ness must particular b e transacted by the Committee of th e U n it e d Di et.

Sec. 10. In the event of a war, we reserve to ourselves the right of levying extraordinary taxes without the assent of the United Diet, when urgent political circumstances do not permit us to call it together. In such cases, however, we will, as soon as circumstances permit, or at latest on the termination of the war, make known to the United Diet the object and application of the extraordinary taxes which may occasionsh av e been s levied. in Sec. 4-10, copi e s of th e fi nance est i mates Sec. 11. Should the Diet be called to ge th er on any of the and the accounts of the State for the intervals between the sittings of the Assembly shall be submitted to this membera for their information. The fixing of the finance estimates, as well as determiniiig the employment of the State revenue, and the aalication it).f the surplus to the wants and welfare of the State, remains ass exclusive privilege of the Crown. t-2ec. 12. Conformably with the law of the sth tfJanumt: 1823, we reserve to ourselves the right of demanding .extta ordinary counsel from the United Diet in framing laws red liting to alterations in the rights of persons and property, or on other matters than those alluded to in S. 9, which havefor their object alterations in the taxes—whether those laws concern the whole monarchy, or several provinces. The Diet is authorised to give the required counsel, with full lawful effect. Should we deem it necessary to seek counsel of the Diet concerning changes in the constitution of the Diet—changes which, not being limited to any particular province, are not to be arranged by the Diet of that province—we shall de mand an opinion from the United Diet, for whose considera tion changes in such matters of state are exclusively re• served. . Sec. 13. To the United Diet belongs the right of laying before us petitions and complaints relating to the internal affairs of the whole kingdom, or of several provinces ; on the other hand, petitions and complaints which concern merely the interests of particular provinces, must be referred to the provincial Diets. Sec. 14. When the United Diet has to determine on raising new State loans (Sec. 5), or the introduction of new taxes, or increasing the existing rate of taxes (Sec. 9), the Estate of the Nobles must take part w ith the other Estates . in the discussion and decision. In all other cases the delibera tions and votes of the Estate of t he Nobles in the United Diet are to take place in a separate assembly. Sec. 15. Every member of the Estate of the Nobles is en titled to a full vote in the Un ited Diet ; but when (as men tioned in Sec. 14), the Estate of the Nobles is s inited with the other Estates in one assembly , t h e membersiof that Estate, taking part in the discussions of the United in the provincial Diet, have only that number of votes which be l o n g s to them Diets. Sec. 16. Resolutions are to be carried b y the ma j orit y of votes. Petitions and complaints are only to be brought under our cognizance, when they have been deliberated on in both as semblies (that is, in the assembly of the Estate of Nobles, and in the assembly of deputies of the knighthood and com moners), and when in each of those assemblies at least two thirds of the votes have been in favour of such petitions and complaints. When the two above-named assemblies, or one of them , after the discussion of a law, or of certain artic ofan les a law, shall decide against that law by a majority less ththat above-named; the views of the minority shall be submitted to our consideration. ect to which th e interests of Sec. 17. If on a subj ect in resp two different estates or pro vinces may be at variance with each other, a particular estate or province should have rea son to complain of a resolution according to the terms of Section 16, a separation o f the Assembly into its component • • 4 e 1 or province be obtained. In such case the estate or province must discuss the matter separately, or pass a separate vote, and the various views sn. . Also, in other cases, we reserve to ourselves the privilege of requiring, when we think fit so to do, a separate opinion from each of the estates and provinces. Sec. 18. For the Estate of Nobles of the assembled Diet, as well as for the Assembly of the Knighthood and Commoners, we will appoint a Marshal to conduct the business and to act as president. The places of both these Marshals may, in the event of their being disabled from attending, be supplied by Vice-Marshals. When, as mentioned in Sec. 14, the Estate of Nobles and the other estates unite together, the Presidency of the As sembly devolves on the Mahhal or Vice-Marshal of the Estate of Nobles. Sec. 19. The United Diet is not connected in its functions with those of circles, communes, or corporations ; its func tions are likewise independent of the classes or persons which it represents_; and these are not allowed to give to the Depu ties either instructions or commissions. Sec. 20. Petitions and complaints must not be presented or delivered by any except the members of the United Diet. Sec. 21. Petitions and complaints which we have once re jected must not again be presented to us by the said Assembly, and must only be renewed when new causes give occasion for them. Sec. 22. In all deliberations of the United Diet, or of single estates or provinces of the same (Secs. 14 to 17) our Ministers of State, and also such of our high officers as we appoint to attend during the whole sitting, or for particular occasions, shall be present, and shall take part in the discus sions when they think necessary. They are not, however, to vote, except when they are authorised to do so as members of the Diet. Sec. 23. The business of the United Diet is to be regulated according to rules approved by us. Given ander our autograph signature and-royal seal, FREDERICK WILLIAM. Berlin, Feb. 3, 1847. (Here follow the regulations for the assembling of the Diet. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

" That the calamitous famine which' has for some time existed in many parts of Ireland. and to some extent in .the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and which is proved by recent . acconnts to be rapidly on the increase in the former country, demands the warrnest'and most active sympathy of every Christian and benevolent heart." The Rev. J. GARBEIT seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The Rev. J. A. JAMES moved, and Mr. Alderman JAR EN seconded, the following resolution:-L " That the town of Birmingham, as 'connected *with Ire land, more particularly by commercial ties, is peculiarly called to sympathy and exertion to alleviate to the utmost of its power, the destitution now prevailin g i n th a t p ar t of the United kingdom." The motion was carried unanimously. The Rev. J. C. MILLER moved, and the HIGH 8A11111750. waded, the following resolution " That while this ;liming rejoices in the hearty and gene rous reloor.se made to the appeal of the ministers of various denominations of Christians in the town, and also in the suc cess of many private exertions, it nevertheless considers that the emergency of the case demands further and more general effort, and that a public subscription be now opened." This resolution also being carrikd unanimou-ly, a commit. tee was appointed to carry their objects into effect. The meeting during the proceedings, in addition to the speakers already named, was addressed by the Rev. Sir C. Leighton, the Rev. H. Hutton, the Rev. T. Swan, the . Rev J.

These amounts, added to 3,5001. already subscribed in Birmingham, make a total of 5,5001. Hopes are entertained that it will ultimately reach 10,000/.

FEMALE ECONomY.—A wealthy farmer's daughter, residing within two miles of Todmorden, called a few days ago at the shop of a respectable wholesale grocer in this town, and requested to be shown his samples of sugars. Im mediately samples of various qualities were presented to her for inspection, when she very modestly inquired the price " per cwt." of the quality upon which she bad fixed. On being told, she then, in the true spirit of an economist and speculator, requested that he would forward two large hogs heads to her residence (a well-known house in this neigh bourhood), an order which was indeed cheerfully accepted by the white-aprou'd grocer. The money she said would be paid to him on the receipt of the sugar, and she further desired that he would take along with him a wheelbarrow, for she intended to pay him with fourpeuny pieces (an amount exceeding 901.), which she had accumulated since the time her Majesty was pleased to authorise the circula tion of that convenient species of coin. Would that every fair daughter of Eve was so well prepared by the savings of only a few years ! We understand that a great many house holders near Todmorden have, during the last week, made unusually large purchases of this sweet article, from the notion that a great rise would necessarily follow the Minis terial measure which allows the free use of this article in dis tilleries and breweries.—Halifirs Paper. CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.—STEAM AGAINST Watn.—The luggage train of the North Western Railway, which usually leaves Manchester at seven o'clock every evening, arrived at the Heaton Norris station, on Monday night, at twelve, when divers "shootings" were rendered necessary, a "break" (as it is termed) and another waggon having been left on the main line while this arrangement was completed. At this time the wind was very high, and Old Boreas mounting in front, went at a rapid and accele rated speed down the incline towards Manchester. Young Steam seeing this, employed his full power, commenced a chase to recover the waggons so surreptitiously abducted, propelling his train before him ; but Old Boreas was victorious, having reached the winning post at Levensbultne in gallant style, and dis tancing his grunting antagonist. They returned to Stockport at half-past one; and here another obstruction and delay presented itself. Owing to the train having been delayed two-and-a-half hours, the water in the boiler was nearly exhausted ; and, to mend matters, men were employed laying down a new crossing, so that there was no passage to the water tank on the down line, as it is called. Here Billy was in a fix, for he could not budge an inch without water, no more than Boren could have bested steam in the chase just related, without wind. He could no more work without his regular pota tion than a London drayman his porter. Well, what was to be done without a fresh supply? Billy was so thirsty that he could not work, and therefore he was obliged, as a dernier ressort, to leave his train in the charge of the signal man, while he went at a sulky pace to regale himself at Chelford, which was the next safe watering place. Here he appears to have enjoyed himself, for he did:not return for his charge until half-past three o'clock A.M., when Billy came whistling along "right merrilie" to the Stockport station. But, alas! misfortunes seldom come single, and Billy was again doomed to encounter another interruption. Just as he was crossing at Mr. Sykes's junction, in order to take the head, the tender-wheels ran off the rails, and there it lay until, by the applicatioa of levers and "jacks," it was re placed on the line at nine o'clock, when the ponderous train (which was the length of the viaduct) finally took its de parture. We are happy to say, that all these misadventures took place without the slightest injury being done to either person or property.-21factlevielcl Courier.
