leading brewers ot the matropo.is issued a circular to the
trade, setting forth, that " they have on this day (Feb. 8),
rotund the old prices of porter and ales."

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 go-ernment we have con-
stantly applied particular care to the de' eiopment of the re-
lations of the States of our eountry.
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 .or 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, mid on the law respecting
the rezulation of the provincial Diets of the sth of June,
1823—we decree as follows:-
1. As often as the wants of the State may require 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. W e 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 cur sub-
ects 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.

(L.S. )

ORDINANCE OF THE 3, OF FEBRUARY, 1847, FOR TUE
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 eightprovinces of our monarchy, are to
,
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 may 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. 6. 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 dot admit of our ap-
peal to the United 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

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.

This condition does not, however, extend to import, ex-

subjects of an understanding with other powers; neither
do
(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 of the extraordinary taxes which may
occasionsh av e beens levied.
in Sec. 4-10, copies of the finance estimates
Sec. 11. Should the Diet be called together on any of the
and the accounts of the State for the intervals between the
sittings of the Assembly shall be submitted to this membera
for their information.
The fixing of the finance estimates, as well as determiniiig
the employment of the State revenue, and the aalication it).f
the surplus to the wants and welfare of the State, remains ass
exclusive privilege of the Crown.
t-2ec. 12. Conformably with the law of the sth tfJanumt:
1823, we reserve to ourselves the right of demanding .extta
ordinary counsel from the United Diet in framing laws red
liting to alterations in the rights of persons and property, or
on other matters than those alluded to in S. 9, which
havefor 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. .
Sec. 13. To the United Diet belongs the right of laying
before us petitions and complaints relating to the internal
affairs of the whole kingdom, or of several provinces ; on the
other hand, petitions and complaints which concern merely
the interests of particular provinces, must be referred to the
provincial Diets.
Sec. 14. When the United Diet has to determine on
raising new State loans (Sec. 5), or the introduction of new
taxes, or increasing the existing rate of taxes (Sec. 9), the
Estate of the Nobles must take part with the other Estates.in
the discussion and decision. In all other cases the delibera-
tions and votes of the Estate of the Nobles in the United Diet
are to take place in a separate assembly.
Sec. 15. 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 issinited with the
other Estates in one assembly, the membersiof that Estate,
taking part in the discussions of the United
in the provincial
Diet, have only
that number of votes which belongs to them
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 artic ofan les a law,
shall decide against that law by a majority less ththat
above-named; the views of the minority shall be submitted
to our consideration.
ect to which the interests of
Sec. 17. If on a subject in resp
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
• • 4 e
1 or province be obtained.
In such case the estate or province must discuss the matter
separately, or pass a separate vote, and the various views sn.

. 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-Marshals.
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 Mahhal 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 the Depu-
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 to do so as members
of the Diet.
Sec. 23. The business of the United Diet is to be regulated
according to rules approved by us.

" That the calamitous famine which' has for some time
existed in many parts of Ireland. and to some extent in .the
Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and which is proved by
recent .acconnts to be rapidly on the increase in the former
country, demands the warrnest'and most active sympathy of
every Christian and benevolent heart."
The Rev. J. GARBEIT seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
The Rev. J. A. JAMES moved, and Mr. Alderman JAR EN
seconded, the following resolution:-L
" That the town of Birmingham, as 'connected *with Ire-
land, more particularly by commercial ties, is peculiarly
called to sympathy and exertion to alleviate to the utmost
of its power, the destitution now prevailing in that part of
the United kingdom."
The motion was carried unanimously.
The Rev. J. C. MILLER moved, and the HIGH 8A11111750.
waded, the following resolution

" That while this ;liming rejoices in the hearty and gene-
rous reloor.se made to the appeal of the ministers of various
denominations of Christians in the town, and also in the suc-
cess of many private exertions, it nevertheless considers that
the emergency of the case demands further and more general
effort, and that a public subscription be now opened."
This resolution also being carrikd unanimou-ly, a commit.
tee was appointed to carry their objects into effect.
The meeting during the proceedings, in addition to the
speakers already named, was addressed by the Rev. Sir C.
Leighton, the Rev. H. Hutton, the Rev. T. Swan, the. Rev
J. Roberts, and other speakers.
The subscriptions announced amounted to nearly 1,0001.
Among the donors were Mr. J. Taylor, 1001.; Mr. J. Sturge,
100/. ; Mr. Jloillett, 100/. ; Mr. Boddingten' 1001. ; Chance
and Brothers, 100/. ; Chance and Sou, 501. These amounts,
added to 3,5001. already subscribed in Birmingham, make a
total of 5,5001. Hopes are entertained that it will ultimately
reach 10,000/.
The meeting broke up shortly after three o'clock.

FEMALE ECONomY.—A wealthy farmer's daughter,
residing within two miles of Todmorden, called a few days
ago at the shop of a respectable wholesale grocer in this
town, and requested to be shown his samples of sugars. Im-
mediately samples of various qualities were presented to her
for inspection, when she very modestly inquired the price
" per cwt." of the quality upon which she bad fixed. On
being told, she then, in the true spirit of an economist and
speculator, requested that he would forward two large hogs-
heads to her residence (a well-known house in this neigh-
bourhood), an order which was indeed cheerfully accepted
by the white-aprou'd grocer. The money she said would be
paid to him on the receipt of the sugar, and she further
desired that he would take along with him a wheelbarrow,
for she intended to pay him with fourpeuny pieces (an
amount exceeding 901.), which she had accumulated since
the time her Majesty was pleased to authorise the circula-
tion of that convenient species of coin. Would that every
fair daughter of Eve was so well prepared by the savings of
only a few years ! We understand that a great many house-
holders near Todmorden have, during the last week, made
unusually large purchases of this sweet article, from the
notion that a great rise would necessarily follow the Minis-
terial measure which allows the free use of this article in dis-
tilleries and breweries.—Halifirs Paper.
CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.—STEAM AGAINST
Watn.—The luggage train of the North Western Railway,
which usually leaves Manchester at seven o'clock every
evening, arrived at the Heaton Norris station, on Monday
night, at twelve, when divers "shootings" were rendered
necessary, a "break" (as it is termed) and another waggon
having been left on the main line while this arrangement
was completed. At this time the wind was very high, and
Old Boreas mounting in front, went at a rapid and accele-
rated speed down the incline towards Manchester. Young
Steam seeing this, employed his full power, commenced
a chase to recover the waggons so surreptitiously
abducted, propelling his train before him ; but Old
Boreas was victorious, having reached the winning
post at Levensbultne in gallant style, and dis-
tancing his grunting antagonist. They returned to
Stockport at half-past one; and here another obstruction
and delay presented itself. Owing to the train having been
delayed two-and-a-half hours, the water in the boiler was
nearly exhausted ; and, to mend matters, men were
employed laying down a new crossing, so that there
was no passage to the water tank on the down line, as
it is called. Here Billy was in a fix, for he could not
budge an inch without water, no more than Boren
could have bested steam in the chase just related, without
wind. He could no more work without his regular pota-
tion than a London drayman his porter. Well, what was
to be done without a fresh supply? Billy was so thirsty
that he could not work, and therefore he was obliged, as a
dernier ressort, to leave his train in the charge of the signal-
man, while he went at a sulky pace to regale himself at
Chelford, which was the next safe watering place. Here he
appears to have enjoyed himself, for he did:not return for his
charge until half-past three o'clock A.M., when Billy came
whistling along "right merrilie" to the Stockport station.
But, alas! misfortunes seldom come single, and Billy was
again doomed to encounter another interruption. Just as he
was crossing at Mr. Sykes's junction, in order to take the
head, the tender-wheels ran off the rails, and there it lay
until, by the applicatioa of levers and "jacks," it was re-
placed on the line at nine o'clock, when the ponderous train
(which was the length of the viaduct) finally took its de-
parture. We are happy to say, that all these misadventures
took place without the slightest injury being done to either
person or property.-21factlevielcl Courier.

relief of Sunimil Tunnel. It is a very exquisite piece of
workmanship, and has been modelled under the superin-
tendence of Mr. Bailey, the Royal Academician. There are
also some very elaborate vases. Altogether it is one of the
most classic and splendid services yet furnished by English
manufacturers.
REPRESENTATION OF GLASGOW. —We learn that
a private meeting of a portion of the electors of Glasgow was
