MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 18, 1546. o,Tha "Post-office London Directory, 1847," is just delivered. i t ' a llith it is apparently limited to London, it is in reality a natioas.l b:ea- None of the leading towns can W e ll be without it ; It must tn essential t o every counting-house in the kingdom, as well as to tlj Place of business is and about the metropolis. It is an invalu a Work of its kind; and the extent It1:11 minuteness of its useful de ssere truly wondeiful. Being prepared " under the immediate and s .. c ht l Patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest 'toe cornpletest means were, of course, a t , the command of the pro hitter, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy ot the voluminous sari ( Retested contents of the bulky work. The present Is the forty 'that annual publication. Few commercial and trading men can litoOr require particular description ef the reall, important and useful ~a fo rrrustion, to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying ` o, twe thousand closely but clearly printed octave pages of this Di -44'17. Preceded by an admirable and perspicuous Map of Lond on , Prepared expressly, it is declared, Mr the work, by Mr. IS. R. Davies, Caere are divisions comprising, among other info rmat i on, " Official," atreet," " Commercial," "Trades," " Law," " Court," " Parlia tnentary," "Foetal; "City," "Conveyance," "Ils.nkins," and many Riser Directories. The hope is expressed is the preface that this forty-eighth annual • ditlon of the " Post-office London Directory" may be found "in all `b i peds to equal the best of its predecessors." From very consider ,e examination of the marvellously full and varied contents an d oitormation on matters which it must be so difflcult, labori. us, and 'attentive to collect, we hesitate not to say, that this unassuming wish is liberally realised. It not only equals the best of its prede 'l‘aos ors, but in several particulars it surpasses all its predecessors. Thu Information is not only fuller in many respects , but there are a u to , • a 1 important alterations and addition', largely adding to the e soro ta,ois of the bosk. It is Intimated , and truly, that although all that e- " e '"'intlas disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous proof et,there has been no relaxation in the multifarious labours to per ces' t he extraordinary work. In speaking of past success, it is ssrerved that it has been, " even in a pecuniary point of view, bent,. ocial to the public, is proved by the fact that important improv e . menta and additio ns ' are annually made without any increase of Price result that, it is declared, " could not have been the ease. had the public patronage been divided." With reference t° w t° the price , we ce rtainly must acknowledge that it is w on d er f u l e • be profitable to provide such varied materials t can le constantly changing and requiring so much 7 4 ;1 :e " as ri e l less labour and cost to procure, and then to classify. Nothing hut a tremendous sale could make the speculation answer. 4 ,“"song the important alterations will be found those introduced into the .• postal" Directory. It is, indeed, singularly full, useful, and :onsplete ; and must much increase the daily, it might be more truly _erotioe n ed Its hourly value, particularly to the merchant, the o 'oder ' , n r the professional man. As the new treaty with Prussia t s austervery considerable changes in the rates of postage as effecting the t ie Austrian dominions, Baden, Bavaria, Bremen, m remen, Denmark, the r o rsnert S tates, Ila.nburg, Hanover, Lubeck, M ccklenburgh , Olden ""s_ Po land, Prussia, Saxony, Sweden and Norway, Wurtetnburg, t 7• loc. &c., those changes are detailed " precisely as they arranged tome into operation on the lit of January, 1847." The ether i s 'l ' a , l 'ass ere not Only numerous, but all the intelligence is announced oe brought down to a period as late as was compatible with the 41 ' e- trance of such a volume in sufficient time for general circulation, Pri or i „ ° , , to the commencement of the year for which it is designed. The a,sauless merits of the work are of the higiiest order, and render it, It o . Its kind, we imagine, a publication unexampled in the world for c ompleteness, futile.% and usefulnees. SUN, Nov. 18,1846. The present 14 the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office is tl; rid , r o te e t Direetory," and a truly marvellous effort of compilation it " Post-office Directory" has been for some years under m an k, itgementKelly.

The extent and 41111,ruat_enets of the details furnished, reader . the work indispensable lie we tr Y commercial and mercantile establ ishment.

ETON MONTEM. • 41 On Friday afternoon a meeting of noblemen and gentlemen educated at Eton was held at the British Hotel, Cockspur street, Charing-cross, for the purpose cf taking m easures to prevent the proposed suppression of Eton Montem. Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen present were the Marquis of Londonderry, Lord Castlereagh, M.P., Lord John Manners, M.P., Lord Alfred Hervey, the Hon. Edward Upton, Ralph Neville, Esq., M.P., &c. &c. The following resolution was proposed :—" That this meet ing views with sorrow any changes likely to lessen the inter course of Etonians." . _ RALPH NEVILLE, Esq., M.P. for Windsor, said that these were not days when a time-honoured institution should be sent to the dogs without any just cause. He moved, That the meeting is of opinion that Eton Montem is useful in bringing together men of all aces, stations, and opinions, and that its present inconveniences are capable of control." Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK seconded the resolutior, which was put from the chair, and carried unanimously. The Ref. Joilx WILDER said that her Majesty had ex pressed her great reluctance to see the Montem discontinued, aad as the abuses might be remedied, he had no doubt that the object of the meeting would be successful. lie proposed a motion to the effect that the authorities should allow an. opportunity to' all old Etonians to express their opinion be fore a decision is made. Lord Cam-maul:ill, M.P., seconded the resolution, and said that in discussing the question they should not con. sider the boy who became " captain," or the suppression of Montem as it affected him, but should confine heir atten tion to the 'broad principle. They should make up their minds that the abuses of Montem should be got rid of, and if instead the custom were altogether discontinued, then they must protest against it. They should get as many sig natures as possible to a petition to her Majesty, for by a ge neral expression of their opinion he bad no doubt they would succeed. _ _ . The Marquis of 1,0711/.;NDWIRT sari .that fie would-wil lingly lend his humble aid to prevent the destruction of their Montem. It was now 50 years since lie was a scholar at Eton, and truly could he say that he never spent his time so happily as when visiting the scenes of his youth. As re.. garded the suppression of Montem, he doubted very much whether the authorities had the power of doing what they contemplated. 'What return would they make to the "c4p tain" for his loss? How would they remunerate him? He did not think that the authorities could be guilty of an act of such gross injustice as to put an end to the custotn-with out compensating the sufferer. He implored them to use their best exertions, to use all their influence, and they might still preserve Montem. The Noble Marquis then moved that a committee be appointed to draw up a memo rial to her Majesty, expressing the sense of those Etenians who are favourable to the preservation of the Eton Montem, and that a copy be forwarded to the Provost, Head-Master, and Fellows. _ JAMES BUTLER, Esq., having seconded the resolution, it was carried. • It was resolved that another meeting should be held shortly to carry out the desired object.

On Friday, in pursuance of a:commission de lunatic° in quirendo from the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Winslow, a Master in Lacy d a jury, assembled at The Jack Straw's Castle Tav stead-heath, to inquire into the state of mind of Major R and Toulmin North, a gentleman residing with Mr. J. M. Crooke, a surgeon at Hendon. Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Tennant were counsel for the peti tioner, and Mr. C. Roupell for Major North. It was given in evidence that alajor North was formerly an officer in the C ddstream Guards, and more recently in the Lancashire itliiitia. He is 63 years of age, and was never married. lie r ossesses large estates in Yorkshire. Lancashire, and Ireland, which, though encumbered to a large extent by mortgages, yield him an income of nearly 3,000/. His family residence is at Tnurland Castle, near I Kirby Lonsdele; though of late years he has only resided occasionally there. having travelled much on the Continent. The petitioner is Mr. -loon Burton, of Andover lodge, Chel tenham, formerly of the medical staff of the Madras army, who married a niece of Major North's, and whose children are the next of kin of the latter. The characteristics of the unfortunate gentleman's insanity were of the most extra ordinary kind. It appeared from the evidence given on the inquisition that from the early part of January, 1827, down to the present time, he has not in a sane state of mind. Certain charges of a painful kind having been circulated respecting him in 1826, the officers of his regiment refused to associate with him, and that cir cumstance is supposed to have led to his insanity, he having been previously a very clever man: In the spring of 1827 his insanity became so marked and notorious, that his tenants refused to pay their rents to him until they obtained a bond t a ro s u s g i h ttin th g e Mr. hesu l d 'r d a e n n c l i y s s Pearson., tartedu p h a is tid so d l as ici h to ed r, was indemnity from a Mr. Noel, a friend of his. On o ne o i i c e i e‘ c h . a it i so s s i i lt o c o de n di 7 , I Pan ,rr ' . he y n -, hu Pearson riana she a w Castle, tle a , s c d o e m a and g through that she the frequently . window of the apartment. Though his mother was aliv e th en , ; On another occasion he deliberately set fire to the curtains of his bed with a candle, and he said that he did that to make his escape from the castle. He used to aseert that Jane Ward, his housekeeper, was a witch, and once asked tier to take the broom and convey him from Underley Park to Thurland Castle, stating his object to be to make a funeral pile of it. In 1829 he went abroad, and for a long time his friends heard nothing of him. Whilst at Lou. vain he made a will, by which he bequeathed 10,0001. to a clerk in a diligence-office, a mere casual se ' quaintance which he made. At Brunswick, where he was known by the name of " the mad Englishman," he was found living with a stable-boy, a discharged servant of the Duke of Brunswick, in unseemly familiarity, whom he called his brother. He bad given his watches to some common soldiers, had parted with his clothes, and was found at Bruns wick possessed only of the clothes which he wore. The authorities in that place had excluded him from that town for having demoralised the soldiery. He told one of the wit nesses, who met him there, that he had an idea of buying an old castle between Wolfenbuttel and Brunswick , which w as situated on the edge of a forest and in ruins , for the purpose of giving grand parties in it; and he said that he inherited it from Queen Caroline, who was a relation of his. He desired the witness to invite the Duke of Brunswick and his suite to dine with him there. lie talked also of being about to purchase the whole dukedom of Brunswick. While at this place he in vited five or six soldiers ao dine with him, whom he made drunk, and afterwards threw bottles of champagne over them. At Wolfenbilttel, he gave a ball at the hotel where he was staying, and stationed several men with paper lanterns at the door, to invite every one that passed to join in the dance. A witness saw him dancing on that occasion with prostitutes, and people of the lowest order of the population, and on re monstrating with him, he said he meant shortly to have a grand illumination in honour of his coming into possession of his dukedom. At a public saloon in Harnburgh, the same witness saw him dancing with prostitutes, and after leaving the saloon take out handfuls of sovereigns from his pocket and throw them right and left among the crowd in the garden of the saloon. At Stockholm he was found fishing in a small muddy stream, and told the witness who saw him that he had caught five large salmon, which he had just given away. Other witnesses spoke to a great number of extravagant acts committed by the unfortunate gentleman. Mr Roupell having briefly addressed the Court on behalf of his client, and the Learned Commissioner having shortly summed up the case, the jury, without consultation, unani mously returned a verdict that Major North had been insane from the 31st of December, 1827, and from that period down to the present he had been incapable, and still is incapable of managing himself and his property. We hear that there is a very good attendance of Nimrods at Melton Mowbray this year, and since the opening of the railroad the journey from London can be performed in a very short time ; and Mr. Hudson has made an arrange ment which enables Noble Lords and M.P.'s to hunt all the morning in Leicestershire, and to be in their places in Parlia ment the same evening. ROYAL VISIT TO TSB ISLE Or WIGHT...—. Great exertions are making to forward the work at Osborne. Some of the finest shrubs have been sent there from the different gentlemen's grounds in the neighbourhood, several waggon loads from Northwood Park alone. The Royal family are expected to arrive on Wednesday next. Tus CONDE MONTEMOLIN.—The Conde Monte molin visited on Thusday the department of Somerset House containing the ship models, and minutely inspected its cu rious and interesting contents. In the evening the illustrious Prince honoured with his presence the performances at her Majesty's Theatre for the benefit of the suffering Irish and Scotch. The Prince was attended by the Marquis of Villa franca, General Montenegro, Colonel Merry, and Colonel Gariemartin. On FiklAy the Conde, attended by the Marquis of Villafranca, accompanied the Earl of Lonsdale to Triug, where they enjoyed the sport of hunting with his Lordship's harriers. The Conde de Montemolin has signified his inten tention of visiting the Lyceum Theatre to-night. ROBBERY OF 80!. BY A PAUPER. — Thursday the police received information that a pauper, named George, an inmate of. Clerkenwell workhouse, had committed bery of 801. It appears that George had o ft e n a rob been entrusted with small sums to pay tradesmen, and on Wednesday he was sent with a cheque of the above sum to settle some accounts, none of which have been liquidated, Nothing had been heard of him up to last night. George was formerly a tradesman in the parish, and hence the confidence placed in him on various occasions. ROME.—Mr. Freeborn gave a dinner on the 3d to Mr. Cobden, and in the evening a Conversazione, attended by his Excellency the Governor of Rome, the Governor of the Bank, many of the Roman authorities, several English artists and other gentlemen, invited to meet the above-named dia• tingttiehed person.—Roman Advertiser.

There existed a few years ago a rather numerous class of society, not occupying a very e xa lted posit • •ion 1n the scale of human intelligence, but still what might be termed a re spectable class, one distinguishing characteristic of which was—a great dread of education. They did not know much themselves, and they considered it an unpardonable piece of presumption for any one with an empty pocket to S c hoo l f ull ull head. The marked improvement in the Al 3 C the poor, far as that improvement fa!ls short of what it ought to be, was the first thing that drove these objectors half de mented; but when Mechanics' Institutes began to spread, and the tradesman and artizan dared to employ the time, once devoted to the pipe and the glass, in listening to scien tific lectures, or in studying political economy, then in deed their disdain and amazement knew no bounds. Now, perhaps, their wisest course would have been to o h a ve attempted, out of the resourc es of a moderate furnished but little-used library , to keep i n advance of Mechanics' Institutes and their frequenters. anti :But, alas! this would have driven the advocates of quated prejudice sadly out of their usual routine. So they adopted the much easier plan of vilifying and traducing ; and one of the commonest accusations brought against Me chanics' Institutes was, that they were unfavourable to, or substituted human knowledge for, religion, and that in pro per io I•; the lecture-room was attended, the church would be deserted. In effectual confutation of these charge., we point triumphantly to such lectures as the one delivered before the Mechanics' InstituteDaoltf Ashford, on Thursday, the on, M.A., Rector of Ware. 18th inst., by the Rev.:John borne. We have been favoured with a perusal o f th at lec ture, and never were we more deeply convinced that science, far from being the antagonist, may be most advantageously employed as the able handmaid of religion. The lecture of which we speak is on .t The Moral Condition and Relations of Man," wherei n the lecturer clearly and eloquently de monstrates that the claim to mental freedom can on) i i sustained upon the theory of a Divine revelatio Y n of morals. His arguments are forcible, his language perspicuous, and his conclusions just; an d we cannot but think that auch a lecture must have produced effect for good upon all who heard it. We cordially a great tula'e the members of the Mechanics' Institute of Ashford na haling in their im mediate neighbourhood a gentleman on ready to support t heir interests, and so admirablyn S qualifiedo by his var i e d attainments, to contribute to th e i r in llactual i m p rove ment, as Mr. D utton. And we would ve nture why should not the clergy more generally take apart • to ask institutions? Why should they not seize the opport in such directing that march of mind which they cannot, if of would, restrain? And why should not science, beneath the their auspices, pursue her researches, with ti,e . a , vealed religion burning in her right hand? We la mp InP of re his brother clergy, the example of Mr. Didion, who, to here now for the third time, has delighted and e we be_ Mechanics' Institute of Ashford with a truly e edified the talented lecture. It was sustained throughout by and secutive argument, the spirit of chastened liberty. - close, con tian liberality, whilst the illustrations, supporti ng and propo sitions,Chris- were striking and poweitul, stowing , his cated, comprehensive, and philanthropic wi a highly edu cated, 11(1.--.11aidstone [ADVERTISEMENT.] —TEAS AT WIIOLESALR PRICES, No. 2, BUCKLERSBURT, CHEAPSIDE.--Fatniiitss whose consumption is large, and study economy, will derive considerable advantage at this establishment.

We have seen a letter from this island of a recent date, stating as :follows : " Matters are coming to a very pretty pitch in this island. There is only about one month's consumption of wheat in the place! People in the country are starving ! ! A re spectable inhabitant of Gasel Zebbug states that the poor are boiling the heads of the clover for soup i ! ! In England all the ports are open for the introduction of grain of every description, free of duty; the Government should follow the same example here, and ought instantly to takeoff the duties on pulse until the approaching harvest, otherwise the most direful consequences must ensue." CLOSE OF THE BOROUGH COURT OF REQUESTS. — On Friday the Commissioners of this Court sat for the last time, their functions being superseded by the new Small Debts Act, which comes into operation on the 15th of March. The offices of the court were closed on Tuesday last, with the exception of the receipt and payment of suitors' money and the issue of executions, which will continu llthe 10th of March. REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF BREAD. -- On Fri day a g eneral reduction in the p rice of bread took p lace throughout the metropolis, those denominated cheap bakers selling the 41b. loaf at Bd., being a reduction of one half penny in the loaf. In the City and West-endthe beat bread averages from 10id. to 11d, the 41b. loaf. Common rye or brown bread sells at 7frd.

" REPRESENTATION OF MAN CHESTER. i The deputation appointed to prevent the requisition of the Selectors of this borough to the - Earl of Lincoln, requesting him to become a candidates for the representation of the bo rough, have received the following answer:— " Whitehall-place, Feb. 23. "Gentlemen,—lt is not without great reluctance that I have arrived at the determination to decline the requisition which, on the part of a large number of electors of Man chester, you hare this day done me the honour to present to me, inviting me to become a candidate for the distinction of representing your borough in Parliament. " With a lively recollection of the favour and kindness with which I was lately received amongst you, it is impossible for me to refuse this invitation, backed as it is by the recorded promises of 4,725 votes, without mingled feelings of regret and gratitude. "1 cannot be unaware that so great a number of promises would render my success, if I were to become a candidate, highly probable, but at the same time I must not forget the peculiarity of my position—until lately almost a stranger to your town, and possessing no local claim upon you, and no thing short of certainty as to the result of a contest would, as it appears to me, justify me in aspiring t the honour so freely and generously offered to me. "A general election will not, in all probability, occur for some months, and I cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to involve so great and important a constituency, - at a moment tion to theto those c,m 11 u t to u w e - I n t c o y r' : I am in debted like the present, in a protracted strugele, the issue of which, • d o da ungratefule however hopeful, cannot be free eom uncertainty. Perso nally. I have said, this decision is to me a source of much re • or to those gret ; but it would also be the canes of no little pain, if I 1 couldb f e cn c . • V considered e u r t e i who have since exerted themselves strenuously on my behalf. I have endeavoured to act in a manner beet for the in terests of all. I have certainly not been guided by selfish considerations—in sticee,e, the advantages would, I fear, be. all personal to myself—in tUilure, the loeewould be largely shared by those whom a contested election bad placed at . variance with neighbours and friends. • " Still, if the gentlemen wile have consented to act on the executive committee had been unahimonsly of opinion . . that the canvass insured success, I should at (nice have Placed myself unreservediy la their hands ; but, feeling i that, under all the circumstances, a positive determination ought to be no longer delayed, I have reluctantly come to a decision which, if it is opposed to the wishes of those who have signed the requisition, is not less at variance with my _own inclinations. -t. Though I .cannot_ attach myself to your town by The 'strong 'ties of its representation in Parham nt, I shall ever esteem.the hiendship which I have already termed amongst you, and shall value the requisition which you have presented 1 to me as one of the proudest heneuts which I could r ece i ve from any body of my fellow-countryman, and as entailing .. apon me fresh obligations to render my humble assistance to Best course of policy upon winch the interest of your corn- , - Imunity, perhaps, more immediately, but eventually those of all classes in the country, greatly depend. " To you, gentlemen, and the other members of the exe cutive committee, I beg to tender the warmest expressions of my esteem and gratitude. " I have the honour !o be, gentlemen, "Tour faithful and obedient friend and servant, "LINCOLN. " To William Neill, Esq., John Peel, Esq., and Thomas B. Putter, Esq." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PoßTsmou'rit, FRIDAY.—A large amount of money has been collected from the officers and crew of the St. Vincent, Victory, and Excellent, towards the relief of the distressed Irish and Scotch, the officers subscribing handsomely, each according to his means, and the men giving a day's pay each, setting a noble example to the rest of the fleet. Mr. George Allen, of the Admiral- in •Chief's tender Fanny, is appointed to command the Undine, steam-tender pro. tere. to the royal yacht, which is to be manned by a crew of men picked from the Victory. Mr. James Scarlett, second master, commanding the Mercury tender, is nominated to succeed Mr. Allen in the command of the Fanny. Mr. Scarlett has been employed for many years afloat, and has earned the reputation of being one of the best cutter sailors in the fleet. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, was at Malta on the 17th instant, and was to sail on the 21st for Bermuda. .a it ~ ft t l h l a n el Extract of a letter from the Herald, 26, Captain Kellett, enraged in surveying in the Pacific, dated St. Baas, Mexico, lotovemeer 26 :—As soon as we have completed water, which we are hard at, we shall start for Panama. On the 26th of April we left Panama for the straits of San Juan de Fuca, and arrived there, at Port Victoria on the 26th of June, after a passage of seventy-three days, without once seeing land. We remained surveying the straits until the 9th of Septem ber, and as far as the climate and living go it is a second England in the summer. Salmon cheaper than mackerel at house ; for a uniform button I have , bought one weighing 351 b., plenty of good potatoes and venison, be sides wild fowl and partridges; but the natives are perfect savages, so much so, that our boats are always armed; and very necessary we have found it in many instances I assure you, being 100 miles away from the ship for a fortnight at a tune. The men are perfectly naked, and the women but very slightly covered, having a piece of cloth or other mate rial, about as large as a handkerchief, tied round their hips; thew are governed by no laws, subject to no control, reckless and passionate —a word and a blow, and frequently the latter (with a knife) comes first., upon the slightest provocation. gettingou r survey ra'ey late, b l e v i e n g l e fi fi nfouptehde, southw-e m a a d g e a hi the , straits, aiid ar a v n e d d the Americans at war with the Mexicans, and in possession I n Francisco on the 21st of September, where, finding place, we thought it as well to dart again post haste; accordingly we left en the' following day, and surveyed the whole c. act down as far aslie4atli t n4loo miles to the north.. ward of this.

On Tuesday the 23d inst.. Captain Sir W. Symonds, Sur-. veyor of the Navy, arrived at this yard, and after inspecting the several ships building proceeded to Sheerness, whence he returned the following day, and again inspecting the works proceeded to London the same afternoon. THE RIVER PLATE. The following important intelligence from Monte Video hay been received : DIONTE VIDEO, Dm. 17, 1846, 8 O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING. Since dosing my letter of this morning intelligence of the most important character has reached me from a perfectly authentic s mrce. A Commissioner has this day arrived from Entre Rios, bearing dispatches from General lirquiza to this Govern ment in which he undertakes the office of mediator be tween the Banda Oriental and Roses, on the peremptory ground of the war being put an end to. He admits the propositions of the ➢lonte Videan Government, and will use all his influence to gain their admission by Governor Rosas, widish is tantamount to a determination to take a part in the war should Roma and Oribe resist his views. Urquiza's letter is full of the most just and noble sentiments regarding the welfare of the State, and that of all the sur rounding republics; and there can be no question that this pronuncianziento, so long desired, will restore peace on a solid toundatieet. POLYTECIfICITSS'TITUTIOI4. There has lately been deposited in the museum of this establishment by the patentee, Mr. All, a very ingenious apparatus, called the Archimedean Stove : it is called the Archimedean, or Screw Stove, from the flame or heat from the furnace or place containing the fire, being made to revolve in its ascent through a spiral funnel, so that it passes through a considerable length of space, and in so doing conveys and emits a vast degree of caloric influence to the surrounding atmosphere. There is no vapour, dust, or disagreeable smell—no generation of unpleasant gases, and no danger in curred. The mode of feeding the furnace or fire-place is by a tube round which the screw or worm revolves, the coke or coal being put in at the top and falling into the fire-place as the fuel is burnt out or consumed. There is also appur tenances for receiving the detnis of the fire, conveying away the smoke, &c., which are simple yet complete• The cost of the apparatus is very trifling, the expense of the fuel scarcely a fourth part of what a common chamber requires. The in vention is that of a practical working mechanician, and in the more valuable on that account, as it is the result of en. perience, and not :he plaything of a mere theorist.

B.—Though, according to asser tions that may be depended upon, the finances of the Prus sian states are in such a satisfactory state that no special resources are required to meet the regular expenditure, yet several public works are contemplated to be executed at the public expense; for instance, some important iron railways, and likewise the construction of fortifications in the province of Prussia, for which it is necessary to open an extraordi nary credit, which is to be procured with the co-operation and guarantee of the United Diet. The Ministers of State, Von Rubon and Von Arnien are appointed marshals of the Diet for the assembly of the nobles and that of the deputies, of the knights, the cities, and the communes.
