The following is the continuation of the official ordi-
`:nances, of which the greater portion appeared in The Sun of
"-esterday :
ORDINANCE OF THE 3D OF FEBRUARY, 1847, RESPECTING
THE PERIODICAL ASSEMBLING OF THE COMMITTEE OF
THE UNITED DIET AND ITS PRIVILEGES.
" We, Frederick William, by the Grace of God King of
Prussia, &c., after having taken the opinion of our Ministers
of State, make the following ordinance, in pursuance of our
letters patent of this day in the matters of the affairs of the
Diet, respecting the periodical assembling of the Committee
of the United Diet and its functions.
Sec. 1. The Committees of the Provincial Diets are to be
convened to form the Committee of the United Diet, accord-
ing to the regulation laid down by the ordinances of Jane
21st, 1842.

Tile former Princes of the Empire in the province of West-
phalia, as well as those in the Rhine province, are to be entitled
to depute from amongst themselves two members each to the
Committee of the United Diet, who may participate in its
proceedings either in person or through plenipotentiaries
from the members of the Estate of Nobles of the United Diet.
Besides this, a deputy is to proceed to the Committee of the
United Diet from each of the provinces of Prussia, Brandeis-
burgh, Pomerania, and Posen, to be elected by and from the
members of the First Estate entitled to single or collective
votes. As regards the province of Pomerania, the Prince of
Putblis is to assume this post without election, so leng as he
remains the only nobleman in the province possessed of the
qualification specified.
The election of the other members of the Committee is to
take place at the United Diet, in accordance with the ordi-
nances of the 21st of June, 1842, through the representatives
of the several provinces; but in the interval between one
United Diet and another as hitherto--viz., at each Provincial
Diet.

Sec. 2. The Committee of the United Diet will be con-
vened by us as often as a necessity arise.s therefor, but at
the furthest four years after the close of the last assembly
of the same, or if a United Diet has been held in the mean
time, within the same lapse of time after the close of the
latter.
We shall require, as a general rule, from the Committee of
the United Diet requisite advice, according to the general
law of the sth June, 1823, respecting the laws which have
for their object alterations in the rights of persons and pro-
perty, or others than the alterations in taxation designated
in section 9 of the ordinance of this day upon the formation
of the United Diet, if these laws concern the whole mo-
narchy, or several provinces; and we hereby confer upon it
the privilege of giving such advice, with full legal effect.
The regulation in Art. iii, No. 2, of the above-mentioned
law is annulled by the present regulation.
As, however, we have already reserved to ourselves, in the :-
ordinance concerning the formation of the United Diet, the
right to require from it opinions of the same kind, in appro-
priate cases, we will equally reserve to ourselves the right to
submit laws of the above-mentioned description which con-
cern the whole monarchy or several provinces, in exceptional
cases, for the opinion of the Provincial Diets, if this should
appear advisable for particular reasons—for example, for the
sake of dispatch.
Sec. 4. The Committee of the United Diet, as the represen-
tative of the United Diet, is to attend to business relating to
the State debts, pointed out in our ordinance of this day on
the formation of the United Diet.
Sec. 5. The right of petition appertains to the Com-
mittee of the United Diet to the same extent as to the
United Diet itself. lierefrom are excepted, however, all pro•
posals having alterations of the constitution of the Diet
in view.

Sec. 6. Should we find ourselves induced to make commu-
nications to the said Committee of the United Diet upon the
State finances, the regulations of the 11th section of the
ordinance on the formation of the United Diet are to come
into full operation.
_ _

Sec. 7. The conduct of business and the presidency of
the Committee of the United Diet is to be assumed by a
Marshal, to be appointed by us, who will be represented in
case of need by a Vice-Marshal, to be similarly appointed.
Sec. 8. The Committee of the United Diet is to deliberate
as an undivided assembly. Its resolutions are, as a general
rule, to be adopted by a simple majority of votes.
Petitions and complaints are only to be laid before us if
they have been voted by at least two-thirds of the members.
If the Committee of the United Diet declares itself on the
deliberation of a law, against the law, or_ some of the
provisions of the same, by a less majority than that above-
mentioned, the views of the minority are also to be laid be-
fore us.

Sec. 9. The Provincial Diets are to communicate to their
several Committees no instructions or proposals fur the Com-
mittee of the United Diet.

Sec. 10. The regulations of the 17th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22d,
and 23d sections of the ordinances of this day, on the forma-
tion of the United Diet, are also to come into full operation in
the Committee of the United Diet.

3, 1847.

ORDINANCE FOR THE FORMATION OF A DEPUTATION Or
THE DIET FOR THE AFFAIRS OF THE STATE DEBTS.
We, Frederick William, &c., ordain as follows :-
1. In the execution of the co-operation proposed in the
6th section of the ordinances of this day, relative to the for-
mation of the United Diet, in the contraction of State loans
in times of war, and for the current co-operation of the Diet
in the reduction and extinction of the State debt.

Diets, according to the regulation relative to the proceed-
ings in election of Diets of the 22d June, 1842. The election
must only fall on persons who are members of the Diet in
question. If one of the elected members loses the qualifi-
cation before the lapse of the sexennial period, he is also to
secede from the deputation. If, however, his secession is
caused by his not having been re-elected as a deputy of the
Diet, he is to remain a member of the deputation till the
next Diet.

To each member of the deputation two locuin tenentes are
to be chosen, of whom one is to replace him in case of

gulations respecting the actual members.

following duties, exclusively of the co-operation in the con-
traction of war loans conferred by the six sections already
mentioned.

debt documents, according to the regulation of Article 14 of
the ordinance of 17th January, 1820, and to effect their de.
posit in the judicial chamber.

2. It is to audit the annual accounts of the interest and
extinction of the State debts, after they have been pre-
viously revised by the upper chamber of accounts, and to

according to the 14th article of the ordinance of January
17th, 1820.

the fund for the extinction of the State debts and the control
of the State papers, on the occasion of its meeting.

gularly meet once a year, and besides this, as often as occasion
demands; the summons to be made by the Minister of the
Interior.

6. The deputation is to elect a President at each meeting,
who must be presented to the Minister of the Interior.
The presence of at least five members will be requisite to
constitute a valid act of the deputation.

MONEY MAREET.—The premium on gold at Paris is
10 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of W. 178.
1014 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.40; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25.30, it follows that gold is 0.40 per cent. dearer in Paris
than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 4321 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17a.
10%d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange a
13.81; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13.44, it follows that gold is 1.53 per cent. dearer in
Hamburgh than in London. The course of exchange at New
York on London is 106 per cent., and the par of exchange
between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent.,
it follows that the exchange is 3.58 per cent. against Engr
land. But the quoted exchange at New York being fcir
bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from
the above difference. The last quotation of the exchange at
St. Petersburgh on London was 400. per rouble at three
months' date. According to the usual calculation that 100
sovereigns will yield 60 59-100 gold imperials at St. Peters-
burgh, the transmission of gold would give an exchange of
38 45-100d._ per silver rouble ; and the gross profit on the
operation would be about 4-1 per cent. ; from which, however,
would have to be deducted the loss of interest and charges of
transport.

LYCEUM TasATßE.—Last night a monster-concert,
to use the recognised expression, took place under the aus,
pices of the speculative Mr. Allcroft, who had gathered around
him the majority of our most recognised vocalists and
instrumentalists for the occasion. As the programme con-
sisted of three parts, comprising no less than forty-eight
pieces of music, we shall not attempt to give any details
further than the bare mention of the artists employed. These
were—Madame Albertazzi, Madame F. Lablache, Misses
E. Birch, Bassano, Steele, A. and M. Williams, Reynell,
Hill, S. Novello, M. B. Hawes ; Messrs. Harrison, Allen,
H. Phillips, F. Lablache, Brizzi, Henry Russell, Sinclair,
Giubilei, and John Parry, vocalists; Madame Dulcken, M.
Benedict, Messrs. Grattan Cooke, Blagrove, F. Chatterton,
T. Harper, and Master Thirlwall, instrumentalists ; besides a
new version of the " Ethiopians," nomenclated " the Lantum
Ethiopian Serenaders," who performed between the act. 9,
The theatre was crowded in every part, and during the time
we attended the audience appeared inclined to encore every-
thing that was sung and played.
STOKE NEWINGTON LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC
SOCIETY.—A meeting of the members of this society wini
held at the Manor House Rooimssold, xu.it.,
Church-street,
who occupied

FUND FON TUE RELIEF OF TUE DESTITUTE
Dust' AND SCOTCIL—M. Laurent, lessee of the Casino, Royal
Adelaide Gallery, Strand, has generously promised to devote.
the proceeds of this (Wednesday) evening's entertainment in
aid of the above fund. To-morrow Mr. Batty, of Astlm's
Royal Amphitheatre, actuated by a similar benevolent Oa-
ing, will give the entire evening's receipts for the same praise-,
worthy purpose.
Two or three years ago a Russian nobleman, the
Prince Dolgorouki, published in Paris a work on the Russian
aristocracy, which excited the displeasure of the Emperor
Nicholas. The Emperor ordered the Prince to return home ;
but the latter, fearing that he would be sent to aiberia, de-
clined to obey. Time, however, softened down the Em-
peror's anger; and at last he acceded a pardon to the Prince:
The latter then returned to St. Petersburgh, where, to his•
great astonishment, he was informed by the Emperor him-
self that the French Government having heard of the order
given by the Czar to him to return home, and his dis-
regard thereof, had offered to the Czar to have him taken,
into custody by the French police, and conveyed to the
frontier! The truth of this story is vouched for by one
of the daily newspapers. —Paris Correspondent of the,
Brighton Gazette.
