THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBER.

The Prussian Chamber of Deputies, after a de-
bate which lasted twelve hours, and the rejection
of all Conservative proposals and amendments,
adopted, by a decisive majority of 219 to 109 the
address framed by its Committee, with certain
amendments moved by some of the more Radical
members of the Liberty party. The indication thus
afforded of the disposition of the Chamber is the
more significant, as the minority includes some
Übor.l rogressist members besides the Poles.
On Saturday afternoon the address was presented
to the King, who replied,—" 1 have received with
pleasure the assurance of faithful and. loyal devo-
tion which has just been expressed. While repeat-
ing that I still remain unchangeably upon the
ground of the constitution to which I have sworn,
as well as upon that of my programme of Novem-
ber, 1858, and that I am therein in full accord with
my ministry, I add thereto the firm expectation of
seeing the sentiments you have expressed ratified
by deeds. As you have selected a sentence of my
programme of 1858, it will be well that you should
impress it line by line upon your minds. You will
then rightly estimate my sentiments.

" The dispositions of the Russian Government,"
says a Turin letter, " with regard to the kingdom
of Italy have been lately much modified, and
appear to announce the approaching recognition of
the new State by the Court of St. Petersburg."

THE CROPS IN NORTH NOTTINHAMSHIRE.—The
wheat crop, especially on the clay lands, is most promising.
On some of the sands the wire worm and grub prevail, but
not to such an extent as seriously to lessen the general
yield. Most of the crop has a highly promising appearance,
and much of it is fast preparing to shoot, Both the late
and the early sown barleys have progressed in a highly
satisfactory manner, and the yield promises to be above the
average. Up to the present time also the bean and the Pet:

trifling, but had the fire not been discovered in time, it
might have been serious enough, as Bailie Johnstone, factor
eo the estate, and a builder and farmer in Bathgate, had a
large quantity of oats in the second floor, which, after much
exertion, was saved. This old huuse had an existence in
the time of Bruce. It was thoroughly repaired and a new
wing added in the year 1599 by one Alexander Sharp, the
then proprietor, and with whom the noted Archbishop
