Aram 16,

The standing committee of the Storthing for the
affairs of the constitution came yesterday to the re-
solution of recommending that amembly to adopt
the following important alteration, as well as an
equally important addition, to the constitution. The
former consists in obliging the King, before enter- 1
ing upon any negotiation for an alliance or other
treats with a foreign power, to convene the whole of
the Council of State, and hear their advice on the
immures proposed, it being hitherto considered sell-
Meet to have the consent of the Minister for the Fo-
reign Department and one other single member of
the Council of State. The addition recommended

is atill~ further to limit the royal prvoptive, and
to " prevent the King from being at liberty to ac-
cept the sovereignty of any other State without the
special consent of the Storthing of the kingdom
being previously obtained."
Letters from Drontheim of the 11th inst. state
that an extensive tire broke out in the evening of
that day amongst the warehouses on the seaside,
which, being chiefly filled with pitch, torwntine,
tar, and other inflammable articles of merchandise,
caused the fire to spread with great rapidity and to
an alarming extent. At length General Thome
ordered out the artillery with their ten-pounders,
which soon battered down some of the other ware-
houses and thus cut off the communication, which
then permitted the conflagration to be got under.
About twenty warehouses and a few dwelling-
houses were reduced to ashes, but fortunately all
the public edifices were spared, although at one
time great fears were entertained for the safety of.
the Cathedral of St. Magnus.

Sweden has protested vehemently in a circular
note against the Danish note of February 20, and
declares that there is no foundation whatever for
the Scandinavian projects attributed to Yritice Oscar
by the latter note.

A JEWISH MARRIAGE IS .ALGICRI.eI,
A question of considerable interest to the Jews of
Algeria has just been submitted to the Imperial Court of
Algiers. In Deonaber, 1549, a Jew, named Benjamin Mak-
lout, and a Jewess, named Miberka Anal, were married by a
rabbi at Constantine, woo/ding to the law of Moen • and a
certificate wee given to them, thus eonceived day,

creation of the world, in the tribe known by the name of
Ord el Ad, the bachelor Benjamin, eon of Illal&uf, maid to
the young woman Mibarka, daughter of Mousse Attal, 'Be
my spouse in conformity with the religion of Moms and of
the Israelites, and I, by the grace of God, will work for you,
will cherish you, will feed you, and will clothe you, ea
all the Isarlites cherish, and clothe their wives. I
