STocKnour, JUNE 23.-0 a the 20th the eques-
trian order discussed the project of the Constitutional
Committee, that the Diet should be assembled every
third year. Count Passe, Ow Minister of Justice, op-.
posed the proposal on the whole, and declared that a
similar proposal might be shortly expected from the
Government. Ouly Von Hartsmandorff and Bergh.
Iti,;sling were for holding the Diet once in five years, as
at present. Baron Rawl proposed that the Diet sht.uld
meet every second year. In the end the question was
put whether the Diet should meet every second or every
third ye:J.. The last opinion prevailed.
STOCKHOLM, JUNE 2G.--Oa the day before yester-
day being St. John's day, and his I‘Ljesty's feta, (Saint's
day) the K7ng had a grand review of the foot and horse
guards, ',11(1 Cie

ins-rd and also the crews of the
ships who were drawn up in the neighbouring strand,
and among whom was the Hereditary Prince Oscar.
The King was welcomed with loud acclamations, as
well by the numerous spectators, as by the troops. Her
M.iesty the Queen gave a grand dinner at the country
seat, Hags.

STUTTGARD, JUNE ;30.—His Majesty the King has
set out to-day for Aix in Sat oy, for the benefit of the
waters. The Queen accompaLied b) Princess Cathe-
rine and Auguste set out yesterday for the same pur-
pose to Kissergen.
FROM TILE UKRAINE, JUNE 17.—M. Von Bibikow,
the Governor-General of Kiem Pottolla and Volhynia,
has lately returned from St. Petersburg!' to Kiew, and
has brought tne news that the Emperor intends to
visit the south-western provinces, and that he will be
at Kiew on August 6. On this occasion the Polish
nobles are to be allowed to pay their respects to the
Emperor, which has not been permitted since the revo-
lution. Many other circumstances indicate that an act
of clemency may be shortly expected, and the hopes of
the Poles appear not to be idle dreams—probahly the
marriage of the Crown Prince may realite them. The
displeasure of the Emperor bears heavily on the west-
ern provinces—a mark of his favour would make thou-
sands happy, and put an end to the distressing situation
of the oaks with respect to the Government. May
the Poles not forfeit the Imperial pleasure by fresh
indiscretions!

STOCKHOLM, JUNE 30.—The Constitutional Com-
mittee has now come to a preliminary resolution on the
question of a change in the representation. Two
Chambers are proposed--both of them clective.—Hain-

THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL AND NA-.
VAL AND MILITARY MAGAZINE FOIL JULY.—A great Dart
of the subject matter of this periodical is of that kind teat
never fails to excite the attention and enlist the sympathies of
all sorts of readers—namely, the personal natratives and adven-
tures, and records of the heroic actions, and daring and adven-
turous achievements of the gallant. defenders of our beloved
country, who: her by sea or land. In this spirit-stirring dies of
writing the present number is peculiarly rich, in proof of which
ne need merely refer to Lieut.-Colonel Cameron's " Personal
Adventures and Excursions in:Georgia, Circassia, and Russia;"
to " The Campaign of Affghanistan," by an Officer of tlie
Queen's; to the affecting " Recollections of an Old Soldier •"
to" England's Wooden Walls ;" and to the " Expedition to the
Chesapeake, and against New Orleans." A learned and inge-
nious geographical paper is furnished by Major E. Napier on
that fruitful subject of discussion, the Site of Ancient Troy, il-
lustrated by a plan of the Troad. Besides all these, there
is, as usual, a mass of valuable matter, addressing itself more
particularly to professional readers, to be found under the head
of General and Post Correspondence, and the Editor's Port-
folio, the whole forming an instructive Repository of Naval and
Military Affairs."—Caledonian Mercury.

TIIE BANKER LORD.—A NOVEL.—We feel
called upon to direct the attention of our novel-reading friends; in
a particular manner to this extremely clever and promising pro-
duction, on account of the singular and unlucky attempt thpt
has been made to "burke" it, in a quarter which has still sole
influence in these matters—an attempt which can only be at-
csunted for in the belief that the writer of the notice in ques-
tion has forgotten to read the book ; fn. of all the errors and
failings that ill-nature itself could with any show of reason
charge upon " The Banker Lord," that which alone he attri-
butes to it is precisely the one to which it is least liable. " The
Banker Lord" is a novel of more variety, bustle, incident, and
character, than any that we have had during the present season,
to say the least, even from our most accredited and popular
writers. The Irish characters and sketches, for instance, are
fully equal to those included in Mrs. Hall's " Young Maid's
Fortunes ;" the sketches of fashionable and pseudo fashionable
life may vie in point, spirit, and lightness with those of Mrs.
Gore, in " Preferment," and some of the (Inscriptive sketches
of a humorous class hare much of the breadth and force 6f Mrs.
Trullope's in " The Widow Married." " The Banker Lord"
is, in fact, a capital novel, and with the single exception last
named, it is decidedly the most entertaining one of the season.

BRICK4fAICERS' TURN-orrr.--The late strike
of the brickmakers is likely to produce the most serious con-
sequences to themselves and to all classes of operatives and
tradesmen. If the cause of their abandoning their employment
had been inadequate wages, or ill-treatment in any 1P.% there
might be some excuse for their conduct; and when the season
for suffering and re?entance shall come, their situation might
at least excite the sympathy of the public. It is to be feared,
however, that the recent strike is not to be traced to the causes
to which we have alluded, but to the influence of certain ad-
visers, who find it more to their taste to become itinerant
agitators than to work for their living. However this may be,
as sincere well wishers to all classes of the industrious corn.
munity, we would point out to the brickmakers, of Liverpool
the natural, and, perhaps, inevitablexontequenees of the mea-
sure they have adopted, either under the influence of a mis-
taken view or their own interest, or in consequence of the
mischievous advice of emissaries who are anything but their
friends. The brickmakers cannot be ignorant that machines
havebeen invented for the manufacturing of bricks ; and a
little reflection may suggest to them that, as bricks
must be had, such machines will most assuredly become
general, the consequence of which change will be most
disastrous to themselves and their families. A correvondent
informs us that these brickmaking machines are now at work
in Staffordshire, and that each of them can turn out fifteen
thousand bricks daily, perfectly smooth and square. Similar
machines have been set to work in other places; and the pro-
bability is, that if the present strike is pretty general through
the kingdom, brickmaking machines will bo generally adopted,
in self-defence, and will very soon almost entirely supersede the
ordinary method of hand-work. We have been told that the
point in dispute is the sire of the brick, but we cannot well
understand this, as the dimensions are fixed and unalterable by
Act of Parliament. If we have in any respect misrepresented
the cause of the strike or ,the conduct of the persons who are
concerned in it, we shall be most reatky to listen to any ozpia,
nation with which we may be favoured, as we have no object
