On the 11th the second Chamber terminated the
third and last deliberation on the changes the consti-
tution is to undergo. When the Secretary-General
read a communication stating that the higher Chamber
had repulsed all the resolutions taken and adopted by
the Chamber of Deputies respecting the future repre-
sentation of the country, the reading produced
peculiar sensation. They will now proceed to con-
ferences. Notwithstanding the opposition of STUVE
the Minister, the Chamber adopted, all but unani-
mously, a proposition stating that if on the coming to
the throne of a new Sovereign, the Chambers were
not sitting, they shall be convoked within a fortnight,
and if not convoked, meet of their own accord; they
can in no case whatever be dissolved before one
month, unless at their own request.

SWEDEN, DENMARK, AND THE
DUCHIES,

STOCKHOLM, JUNE G.—His Majesty the KING,
accompanied by the CROWN PRINCE and the Duke of
UPLAND, left for Malino yesterday by the steamer
Gylfe. his MAJESTY had previously established a
standing Regency, composed of Count SPARRE, as
President, and the Counsellors of State, FAMAERES,
WALLENsrEIN, and EIIRENSTAN. The preparations
by land and water are carried on with great
activity. The fortresses of Waxholm and Carlsten
are to be placed in a state of defence as speedily as
possible.
MALIN°, JUNE 6.--His Majesty the King of
SWEDEN arrived here today. He will probably re-
main here two or three weeks, and return to Stock-
holm at Midsummer. The King of DENMARK is
expected to arrive here in two or three days. Yes-
terday eleven battalions of choice troops arrived
here. They are to embark for Fahnen between the
13th and 14th, whither a division under General
LowEisnoALm has already set out direct from
Gothenburg. The Commander-in-Chief of the whole
army will be placed under General LEFRON.—Huni-
burgh Correspondent.
it was repurted at Copenhagen that Prince MEN.
ZIKOFF, General SPRENGPORTEN, and the Danish
Minister, would arrange as to the operations of the
Danish, Swedish, and Russian forces against the
Germans.

From Malmo they write that 15,000 troops were
assembled there with GO guns. In the roads were
several large vessels of war, and twelve to sixteen
Itu,sian ships of the line were expected there.
C!OFENUAGEN, JuNr. 10.—The KING departed with
the Aegyr for Malmo, where be arrived, and had in-
terviews with the King of SWEDEN" and Prince CARL
GUSTAVUS and OSCAR. A review of the troops took
place at Malmo ; both Kings repaired to Landscrona
there they inspected the artillery corps and other
troops, and the KING returned then by Helsingor to
Fredericksborg. The Swedish troops are remark-
ably fine men.

General lIEDEMANN says of the affair at Sundewitt
on the sth :—" We had hard fighting, hut it was a

successful [day for :us. Abcut noon the enemy at-
tacked our outposts, and our men retired under a
heavy fire. I ordered my troops to take up a posi-
tion on the Duppeler heights ; here the warm recep-
tion we gave the enemy arrested his advance. Be-
tween seven and eight I attacked him with my re-
serve. The village of Duppel was taken and re-taken,
but the enemy was obliged to withdraw his whole
line, and towards dark our troops occupied their posi-
tion of the morning."

Lieutenant-Colonel MORGENSTIERN was killed on
the sth, and General HEDEMANN reports the number
of his wounded as 199, brought into the hospital.
In the order of the day of the 6th, the Danish
commander says to his troops, " Soldiers, I thank
you. You have gloriously contended against the
enemy. At Flensburg you dispersed the insurgents ;
at Schleswig you taught your enemy to respect you
by the courage and determination you displayed
against a superior force ; at Sundewitt you boldly
drove back the enemy; and yesterday you fought
like veteran soldiers, and his repeated attempts to
force you from your position were frustrated by your
resolution."

General WRANGEL'S force, the Danish reports add,
amounted to about 7,000 men, to which must be
reckoned HALKETT'S division.

RUSSIA.

We translate the following from a letter which
appears in the Paris National of yesterday, and
which purports to have been written at St. Peters-
burgh :

"Every one here is expecting some great event, if
credit is to be attached to the reports in circulation, and
which there is every reason to believe are well founded.
The Emperor yesterday sent for the President of the
Senate, the principal dignitaries of the empire, the
bishop, and the ministers, and communicated to them a
project which he had in contemplation, for immediately
enfranchising all the peasants from personal servitude.
They would then be placed in the same condition as the
Poles, and the people in the provinces of the Baltic.
" The young Prince G- V--, who is very
popular at St. Petersburgb, warmly supported the
plan; but the hereditary Grand Duke, who was believed
to be of a weak awl irresolute character, supported by his
uncle the Grand Duke Michael and a great number of
important personages, insisted, with much firmness, on
things remaining as they now are, founding their argu-
ments on the danger which would arise from giving
freedom to men yet plunged in the lowest state of bar-
barism, and who have not yet received any of the advan-
tages of education; and that on the eve of a probable
war any change of the kind would be impolitic. Not-
withstanding this opposition, orders were sent by the
Emperor to the civil and military authorities in the dif-
ferent provinces, to sound the feelings of the people on
the subject.
_ _

" Poland, although occupied by more than 200,000
troops, causes much uneasiness to the Government, and
it appears that it is resolved on to reconstruct that king-
dom. The question, however, is to know who shall be
placed on the throne. The Grand Duke Constantine,
the second son of the Emperor, has declared that he
would not accept it, and his name, moreover, reminds the
people c,f horrible atrocities.

- "-The Emperor wishes to select his son-in-law, the
Duke de Leuchtenberg; but the principal Boyards, jea-
lous of the Duke (who is called amongst themselves M.
Beauharuais), warmly oppose it, and prefer the youngest
son of the Emperor, only now 17 years of age.
" All the Boyards understand with their master that
it is desirable to settle the affair of Poland as quickly
as possible, as it is the hot-bed of propagandism, the
ramifications of which penetrate by little and little into
the empire.

" When free on that side, the Russians may fall with
all their weight on the Danubian and Sclavonian pro-
vinces, which they have so long coveted.
"For some time past the C4ar has spent whole days
and nights at his telegraph, the lines of which are
now established as far as Warsaw and the frontier of
Prussia."

ITALY.

NAPLES AND SICILY.

A body of 2,000 troops landed at Reggio on the
Bth. This insurgent population at Cossenza have
expelled the gens d'annes, who have returned to
Naples.

Advices from Sicily announce that the French Go-
vernment has acknowledged that of Sicily.
The American Commodore READ applied to the
Government for permission to winter in the harbour

of Syracuse.
A deputation from the Sicilian Government had
been sent to Rome, who reported that they had
met with the most favourable reception from
the POPE, and that the Holy Father had expressed
his sympathy with the people, and advised them to
remember that they were making war not upon the
Neapolitan people, but on King FERDINAND.

SECONDARIES'._( 'HIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
RING V. SAUNDERSON.
This was en action to recover the sum of 391. odd.
The plaintiff is the landlord of a farm in Devonshire, and
defendant was his tenant. The demand was for grass,
fencing, &c., according to the custom of the country, and
for poor's-rates paid by plaintiff.
The value of the grass, &c. was proved, and also an
admission that defendant was to pay 40/, but plaintiff,
by his particulars, admitted payment of 331.
The SECONDARY held that plaintiff could only recover
for the difference, as although there was a count on an
account stated, there was no evidence—there was very
little doubt how the matter was, that the money had
been paid for the farm; bat, legally, as oLly the value of
the grass was proved, the 33/. mist be set against it.
The jury thereupon gave a vei•ciict for 6/. 3s.
The other cases were withdrawn.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A young man, named Phillips, was charged with
stealing a silver watch, the property of Mary Williams.
The prosecutrix said that, about eleven o'clock last
night she met the prisoner in St. James's Park, and en-
tered into conversation with him. He told her that he
was a comedian, and had a right of admission to every
theatre in London. He proposed that they should go to
one of the theatres, and they went towards one of the
gates of the park with that view. On the way he in-
I formed her that he was a single man, and wished to get
married, and if she would consent he would marry her.
She agreed. They went to several public-houses. They
agreed to take a lodging, and they accordingly went to
a house in George-street, St. Giies's, where they re-
mained for a considerable time. When they were
about to go away, the prisoner took up her watch
from a table on which she had laid it, and
said he was going to see a friend, and he would like to
wear it. She endeavoured to get it back from him, but
he would not give it up, but left the place with it in his
hand. She followed him, and " led her about "
through all the narrow lanes its the neighbourhood till
four o'clock in the morning, when they met a policeman,
to whom she gave the prisoner in charge. They hsd
met several men, to whom she would have spoken but
that the prisoner threatened to blow her brains out jf she
did. The policeman found the watch upon him.
The prisoner said that the watch was his own property.
Mr. JARDINE remanded him, in order that evidence
on this point might be given on both sides, and that the
police might make inquiries about some trinkets and
duplicates that were found on the prisoner.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market have been on a fair average scale, and of excel-
lent quality. As the attendance of buyers was on the
increase, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce was steady, at fully Monday's quotations. Al-
though the imports of foreign Wheat continue compara-
tively small, the sale for that article was in a very slug-
gish state, but the importers would not submit to lower
currencies. Very little English Barley was on offer; but
the•show of foreign was larger. All descriptions ruled
dull, and, in some instances, prices had a downward ten-
deucy. The show of Malt was on the increase, and the trade
was heavy at barely stationary prices. The arrivals of
Foreign Oats being largo that article was heavy on
somewhat easier terms. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and
Flour dull, at late rates.

Our market was, on the whole, but moderately sup
plied with Beasts, the general quality of which were
however, seasonably good. As the dead markets exhi-
bited but a limited quantity of meat, the Beef trade here
was steady, and Monday's quotations were well sup-
ported; yet the highest figure for the best Scots did not
exceed 45. per 81bs. The show of foreign stock was by
no means large, and the arrivals from Scotland did not
exceed 260 Scots. There was a slight falling off in the
numbers of Sheep, owing to which the sale for that
description of stock was firm, at very full prices. We had
an improved demand for Lambs, but we have no advance
to notice in prices, Calves, the supply of which were ex-
tensive, met a slow inquiry, at late rates. In Pigs, next
to nothing was doing. Mitch Cows were dull, at from
141 to 18/ each, including their small calf.
