THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.
BERLIN, MARCH 11.

As soon as the doors of the Chamber were opened
this morning the galleries were filled with specta-
tors. The deputies, who had arrived early, were in
earnest conversation. At ten minutes past tea
o'clock all the Ministers took their seats, with the
exception of the President, Prince of Hohenzollern,
M. Auerswald, and M. Bethmann-Hollweg. The
President, Grabow, at once opened the sitting, and
said that, before any further proceedings, the
Minister of ComnAerce, M. von der Heydt, would
make a communication to the Chamber. M. von
der Heydt rose and said :

" By my communication of the 7th inst. to your
President, the Chamber of Deputies was informed
that the Ministry were occupied with most im-
portant deliberations. Those deliberations were
consequent upon the ♦ote passed in the last sitting
of the Chamber. The Ministry felt it their duty to
consider how they ought to act. Although the
Minister of Finance, in the most courteous manner,
held out the prospect that the desired Budget sti-
pulations should be complied with for 1863, never-
theless the motion of M. Hagen was adopted. That
vote showed the position the Chamber assumed to-
wards the Government, and after conscientious,
serious deliberation the Ministry came to the conclu-
sion that they did not possess that confidence from the
Chamber, or that support which was requisite suc-
cessfully to watch over the interests of the country.
This conviction rendered it necessary for the Minis
try to tender their resignation to his Majesty the
King. This was done on the Bth inst. His Majesty
declined to accept the resignation in an order dated
March 9. That order runs thus On the com-
munication of the Ministry of State of yesterday I
inform the same that, considering the confidence I
place in the Ministry,: and the respect they enjoy
with the well-advised portion of the country, I can-
not grant their request. Considering these grounds,
I look forward for such new measures as they think
they may advise me that they may continue their
duty in watching over the welfare of the State.'
" The Ministry have felt it their duty to obey this
high order, and have accordingly proposed new
measures so as to enable them successfully to fulfil
their duties. The Ministry are convinced that it is
only by a joint co operation and confidence between
the Chamber and the Government of his Majesty
that the interests of the monarchy can be taken
care of. Perfectly conscious of their responsibility,
and after careful deliberation, they have come to
the conclusion that the vote in the Chamber, of the
6th inst., shows that this condition does not exist,
and the Ministry have consequently advised the
King to exercise the right invested in him by the
51st Article of the Constitution. Consequent
whereon, I have to communicate the following
Royal Decree to the Chamber:--
" We, William, by the Grace of God, &c., in
virtue of Articles 51 and 77 of the Constitution, by
advice of our Ministers of State, do decree:—
" 1. That the Chamber of Deputies is hereby
dissolved.
2. That the Upper House be adjourned.
3. That our Ministry of State is charged with
carrying out the present decree.

mates killed, and his brother mortally wounded. The

relled with his brother, and killed him in the heat of the
dispute. But this statement was discovered to be untrue

The Lord Mayor stated to the Town Council yes-

Prince Consort. He had received a great mail
letters from influential persons in the countryw armly

wards its accomplishment. Lord Stuart, de Deoiee
has subscribed £2O to the memorial.

Alderman Reynolds complained that Mr. ReVIP
their officer, who held a sinee,ure of £2OO a years
had make himself " a gutter agent" for Col. White
at the Longford election, and stated that if he could
not give a satisfactory reason for his conduct he
would move his dismissal.

At the opening of the Court-martial yesterday
morning the President informed the prisoner that
he had ascertained from the Commander of the
Forces in Ireland that he had given no order that
the prisoner should not be allowed to walk in the
barrack yard, and never had an idea of such a
thing; on the contrary, he would permit him. to
walk in the park, or elsewhere in the country or to
go to his solicitor's office, if he wished. •
