ARISS' PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy-
at clans have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and
air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct
contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it
be administered under the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases
in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty
of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs,
hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma-
tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of
consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad-
vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check
the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

TO TEE LADIES.
This lady bad the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
aper en Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Orimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months,
ad the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. (l.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an Ils. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure el nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
-revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful proauct of the
'nest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the erown of the head ; if v, ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair oil ehildren's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling Influence on the brain as. to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth ol hair.— see

EXTRAORDINARY SPEND.—A train on the Great
Western Railway was, a few days ago, urged at the aston-
ishing speed of seventy-two miles an hour. This is at the
rate of one mile in fifty seconds, or thirty-five yards and one-
fifth per second. If this speed could be maintained, a train
would pass over 1,728 miles in twenty-four hours; and, if
there were a railway round the world, the entire distance
would be performed in about fourteen days and a half.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS.---The depot of the 27th
Regiment, now at Gosport, is under immediate orders to

The reserve battalion of the 56th Regiment will arrive at
Winchester from Chatham, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and

THE PRUSSIAN CONSTITUTION.
The following is a translation of a decree, dated Berlin,
Feb. 3, 1847:
We, Frederick William,by the Grace of God King of Prussia,
&c., give notice and herewith ordain to be known :
Since the commencement of our government we have con-
stantly applied particular care to the development of the re-
lations of the States of our country.
_

We recognise in this matter one of the weightiest problems
of the kingly calling bestowed on us by God, in the solution
of which a twofold aim is marked out for us—namely, to
transmit the rights, the dignity, and the power of the Crown
inherited from our ancestors of glorious memory intact to
our successors on the throne; but at the same time to grant
to the faithful States of our monarchy that co-operation
which, in unison with those rights and the peculiar relations
of our monarchy, is fitted to secure a prosperous future to our
country . .

In respect whereof—continuing to build on the laws given
by his late Majesty, our Royal Father, now resting with
God, particularly on the ordinance respecting the national
debt of the 17th of January, 1820, and on the law respecting
the regulation of the provincial Diets of the sth of June,
1823—we decree as follows :

ay
1. As often as the wants of the State may require 4 either
fresh loans or the introduction of new taxes, or the increase
of those already existing, we will call together around us the
provincial Diets of the monarchy in an United Diet, in order,
firstly, to call into play that co-operation of the Diets pro-
vided by the ordinance respecting the national debt; and,
secondly, to assure us of their consent.
2. We will for the future call together at periodical times
the Committee of the United Diet.

3. To the United Diet, and, as its representative, to the
Committee of the United Diet we entrust.

(a) In reference to counsel of the Diet in legislation, the
same co-operation which was assigned to the provincial Diets
by the law of June sth, 1823, sec. iii., No. 2, so long as no
general assemblies of the Diet take place.
(b) The co-operation of the Diets in paying the interest
on, and liquidation of, the State debts, provided by the law of
January 17th, 1820, in so far as such business is not confided
to the deputation of the Diet for the national debt.
(c) The right of petition upon internal, though not merely
provincial, matters.
All the above, as is more closely defined in our ordinances
of this day respecting the formation of an United Diet, the
periodical assembling of the committee of the United Diet
and its functions, and the formation of a deputation of the
Diet for the national debt.

While we thus far refer to the promises of that Gracious
Sovereign our Royal Father, on the raising of new loans, as
well as the increase of existing taxes, which are founded on
that system of the German Constitution, bound up with
the assent of the States; and in thereby giving to our sub-
jects a special proof of our royal confidence; so we expect in
return the like confidence from their often-proved fidelity and
honour, as was shown when we ascended the throne of our
father, and also we expect that they will support us and our
efforts directed solely to the welfare of the country, on which
effort success under God's gracious assistance cannot fail to
await.

with our royal seal.

(L. S.)

ORDINANCE OF THE 3s OF FEBRUARY, 1847, FOR THE
FORMATION OF THE UNITED DIET.
We, Frederick William, by the Grace of God King of
Prussia, &c., having taken the opinion of our Ministers of
State, make the following ordinance, in pursuance of our
letters patent of this day, in the matter of the affairs of the
Diets, respecting the formation of a United Diet.
Sec. 1. We shall unite the eight Provincial Diets of our
Monarchy in one Diet as often as is necessary according to
the tenour of our letters patent of this day, or on any other
occasion when we think it needful on account of urgent
matters of State.
With regard to the place of assembly and the continuance
of the session of this United Diet, as well as with regard to
its opening and close, we will make a special determination
in each particular case.
Sec. 2. We grant to the Princes of our Royal House, as
soon as, according to the prescriptions of law, they have
attained majority, the right of sitting and voting in the
Estate of Princes, Counts, and Lords at the United Diet.
The Estate of Nobles in this Diet is composed, besides, out
of the Princes and Counts of the old Imperial constitution
who have seats in the Provincial Diets, as well as out of the
Silesian Princes and Noblemen, and all other founders,
Princes, Counts, and Lords of the eight Provincial Diets,
who are entitled either to a single or collective vote in those
Assemblies.
The Princes of our House may, under our sanction, in case
of hindrance, intrust some other Prince of our House with
the disposal of their votes.
Single members of the Estate of Nobles who are invested
with full powers in the Provincial Diet retain this privilege
in like manner for the United Diet.

In respect to the organization and enlargement of the
Estate of Nobles, we reserve to ourselves the right of further
regulations.
Sec. 3. The Deputies of the Estate of Knighthood, and the
commoners of the eight provinces of our monarchy, are to
appear in the United Diet in the same numbers as in the
provincial Diets.
Sec. 4. To the United Diet we entrust the co-operation
reserved to the Provincial Diets in case of State loans by
Art. 2 of the ordinance relative to the national debt, dated
January the 17th, 1820: and, accordingly, no new loans for
which the collective property of the State mey be assigned
as security (Art. 3 of the ordinance of January 17, 1820)
shall be contracted without the concurrence and guarantee
of the United Diet.

Sec. 5. If new loans, of the nature mentioned in Sec. 4,
are required for covering the expenses of the State in time
of peace, we will not contract them without the consent of
the United Diet.

Sec. G. If, however, in the event of expected war, or war
already broken out, the funds in our Treasury and other
reserve funds are insufficient for the requisite purpose,-extra.
ordinary supplies and loans must, therefore, be raised ; and,
if urgent political circumstances should not admit of our ap-
peal to the Uuited Diet, the said loan shall be raised with
the concurrence of the deputation for the national debt,
which concurrence shall stand in lieu of the co-operation of
the States. Loans for the above-mentioned objects, con-
tracted with the concurrence of the deputation, will be
raised on the same security as that which in Art. 3 of the
ordinance of January 17, 1820, is assigned for the national
debt.

Sec. 7. Should a loan be raised in the manner mentioned
in Sec. 6, we will, on the removal of the ob,tacles which
prevented an appeal .to the United Diet, call it together,
and explain the object and application of the loan.
Sec. 8. Moreover, the United Diet, conformably with Art.
9 of the ordinance of January 17, 1820, must propose to us
the candidates for vacant posts in the chief department for
the administration of the national debt; and, conformably
with Art. 13 of the said ordinance, the accounts for the
administration of the national debt, drawn up by the depu-
tation, must be carefully examined by the United Diet, and
submitted to us for discharge in separate resolutions.
When the United Diet is not sitting, this business must
be transacted by the Committee of the United Diet.
Sec. 9. Without the consent of the United Diet we will
not introduce any new imposts, nor increase the amount of
the existing taxes, either generally or in any particular
province.
This condition does not, however, extend to import, ex-
port, and transit duties, nor to those indirect taxes the
specification, levying, or administration of which may be the
subjects of an understanding with other powers; neither
does that condition refer to domains or royal property
(whether the arrangements relate to income or to substance),
or to taxes for objects relating to provinces, circles, or
communes.

Sec. 10. In the event of a war, we reserve to ourselves
the right of levying extraordinary taxes without the assent
of the United Diet, when urgent political circumstances do
not permit us to call it together. In such cases, however, we
will, as soon as circumstances permit, or at latest on the
termination of the war, make known to the United Diet the
object and application f the extraordinary taxes which may
have been levied.

Sec. 11. Should the Diet be called together on any of the
occasions specified in Sec. 4-10, copies of the finance estimates
and the accounts of the State for the intervals between the
sittings of the Assembly shall be submitted to the members
for their information. _

The fixing of the finance estimates, as well as determining
the employment of the State revenue, and the application of
the surplus to the wants and welfare of the State, remains an
exclusive privilege of the Crown.
sec. 12. Conformably with the law of the sth of January,
1823, we reserve to ourselves the right of demanding extra-
ordinary counsel from the United Diet in framing laws re-
lating to alterations in the rights of persons and property, or
on other matters than those alluded to in Sec. 9, which
have for their object alterations in the taxes—whether those
laws concern the whole monarchy, or several provinces.
The Diet is authorised to give the required counsel, with
full lawful effect.

Should we deem it necessary to seek counsel of the Diet
concerning changes in the constitution of the Diet—changes
which, not being limited to any particular province, are not
to be arranged by the Diet of that province—we shall de-
mand an opinion from the United Diet, for whose considera-
tion changes in such matters of state are exclusively re•
served.

See. 13. To the United Diet belongs the right of laying
before us petitions and complaints rerlalting to the internal
ofsevea
whichprovinces ; on the
other
hoafntah,e
petitions

complaints concern merely

taxes, or increasing,the existing rate of taxes
Estate of the Nobles must take part with the other &ta)'et!''e
n
the discussion and decision. In all other cases the delibera-
tions tins and votes of the Estate of the Nobles in the United Dietra-
are to take place in a separate assembly.
Sec. Is. Every member of the Estate of the Nobles is en-
titled to a full vote in the United Diet; but when (as men-
tioned in Sec. 14), the Estate of the Nobles is,united with the
other Estates in one assembly, the mTibersiof that Estate,
taking part in the discussions of the LnitedDiet, have only
that number of votes which belongs to them in the provincial
Diets.
Sec. 16. Resolutions are to be carried by the majority of
votes.
Petitions and complaints are only to be brought under our
cognizance, when they have been deliberated. on in both_ as-
semblies (that is, in the assembly of the Estate of Nobles,
and in the assembly of deputies of the knighthood and com-
moners), and when in each of those assemblies at least two-
thirds of the votes have been in favour of such petitions and
complaints.
When the two above-named assemblies, or one of them,
after the discussion of a law, or of certain articles of a law,
shall decide against that law by a majority less than that
above-named,lthe views of the minority shall be submitted
to our consideration.
Sec. 17. If on a subject in respect to which the interests of
two different estates or provinces may be at variance with
each other, a particular estate or province should have rea-
son to complain of a resolution according to the terms of
Section 16, a separation of the Assembly into its component
parts takes place if a majority of two-thirds of the said estate
or rovince be obtained.
in such case the estate or province must discuss the matter
separately, 91. pan A fieggAtit iTte, and the Yikli9ll4 Tifffi Cu-

tertained on the subject will afterwards be submitted to our
decision.

Also, in other cases, we reserve to ourselves the privilege
of requiring, when we think fit so to do, a separate opinion
from each of the estates and provinces.
Sec. 18. For the Estate of Nobles of the assembled Diet, as
well as for the Assembly of the Knighthood and Commoners,
we will appoint a Marshal to conduct the business and to
act as president. The places of both these Marshals may, in
the event of their being disabled from attending, be supplied
by Vice- Marsk als.

When, as mentioned in. Sec. 14, the Estate of Nobles and
the other estates unite together, the Presidency of the As-
sembly devolves on the Marshal or Vice-Marshal of the Estate
of Nobles.

Sec. 19. The United Diet is not connected in its functions
with those of circles, communes, or corporations; its func-
tions are likewise independent of the classes or persons which
it represents; and these are not allowed to give to thaDepu-
ties either instructions or commissions.
Sec. 20. Petitions and complaints must not be presented
or delivered by any except the members of the United Diet.
Sec. 21. Petitions and complaints which we have once re-
jected must not again be presented to us by the said Assembly,
and must only be renewed when new causes give occasion
for them.

Sec. 22. In all deliberations of the United Diet, or of
single estates or provinces of the same (Secs. 14 to 17) our
Ministers of State, and also such of our high officers as we
appoint to attend during the whole sitting, or for particular
occasions, shall be present, and shall take part in the discus-
sions when they think necessary. They are not, however,
to vote, except when they are authorised to4lo so as members
of the Diet.

Sec. 23. The business of the United Diet is to be regulated
according to rules approved by us.
Given under our autograph signature and royal seal,

LYCEUM THEATRE.

Miss Dickenson, from the Newcastle Theatre, made
her debut here last Eight in the character of Fanny
Curry, in Morton's popular farce of the Eton Boy.
Miss Dickenson's debut was most successful. Her figure
is good ; and as Tom, the Eton Boy, she was full of mis
chief, fun, and espieglierie. She is tall, and her form is
perfect ; her features are most expressive, and she will
be a great acquisition to the Lyceum corps. Keeley's
Dabster, is too well known to stand in need of eulogy ;
and it would be unjust to pass over the Captain
Popham of Wigan. He is the best Captain Pop-
ham on the stage, and this we say with the
full recollection or Charles Matthews and of Hudson in
the same character. At the conclusion Miss Dickenson
was called for, and was led on by Keeley, and received
with that applause which she had fairly earned. The
Eton Boy was preceded by the Wigwam, in which Keeley
as the little White Buffalo, kept the audience in a roar
of laughter, and was followed by Mrs. White, with
Oxberry as the redoubtable Peter.
