BERLIN, FIB. 28.—The funeral of his Royal
Highness Prince WALDEMAR of Prussia took place
in the cathedral of Berlin this day. The KING and
QUEEN, the Princes of the blood, the high military
and civil dignitaries, privy councillors, were present
on the solemn occasion.

The crown rested on the upper end of the coffin ;
the sword, scarf, and gloves, the ribbon of the Order
of the Black Eagle, of the Order of the Bath, of the
Order Pour le Write, and the Royal Britannic medal
for the campaign in India, were laid on the coffin.
The procession was private, but attended with
the usual royal and military honours. The coffin.
was brought privately to the cathedral, where it was
received by all the mourners. The bells of all the
churches were tolled from nine to ten o'clock. As
soon as the body was placed upon the communion-
table, the funeral anthem was sung by the choir,
then followed the burial service; after the blessing
had been pronounced the guns fired three salutes.
The organ was then played till their Majesties, and
all the mourners, had quitted the cathedral.
A number of the deputies of the Second Chamber,
yesterday, passed the following resolutions, relative
to their position in regard to the Constitution :
" The undersigned Members of the Second Cham-
ber consider the following principles indispensable
to the effectual discharge of the duties imposed upon
them :

" 1. They recognise the Constitution of December
sth as the legal and valid fundamental law of the
Prussian Government, and pledge themselves to co-
operate i❑ the revision assigned to them solely accord-
ing to the method prescribed therein in section 112,
and to recognise the result of the revision as binding.
"2. In the revision of the Constitution they will
adhere unflinchingly to the principle of Consti-
tutional Monarchy, under the hereditary government
of the house of Hohenzollern. ;faking their stand
on this foundation they will dedicate themselves un-
reservedly to furthering the true interests of the
nation. They resolve in this spirit to deliberate on
those questions also which have reference to the
agricultural and manufacturing interests of the
country."

DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG-

lIOL STEIN.

COPENHAGEN, FEB. 24. —ln the sitting of the
Diet, this day, it was stated that "his Majesty the
King of DENMARK had informed the King of
PEUSSIA, that he should not consider himself bound
by the treaty of Malmo, after the 26th of March."
This intelligence was received with general approba-
tion. This statement is not by any means unexpected,
by persons who are acquainted with the present posi-
tion of the question ; nor is it of so serious a character
as appears at first sight. It certainly does not
involve the recommencement of the war on
the part of Denmark after the expiration of
the 26th, for the negotiations for peace
have already made considerable progress,
the only difficulty now being the settle•
inept of the amnesty question. The whole will be
concluded on the 26th of March. It is likewise
stated that it was a necessary act to declare the ter-
mination of the armistice on the given day, com-
bined with the negotiations for peace, because
it is determined to take advantage of them, for
the purpose of occupying the Duchies with such a
number of German troops as shall be deemed neces-
sary by both parties to keep down that excitement
among the people which the proclamation of the con-
ditions of peace may verly probably give rise to.—
