rOREIGN.

An express from Dusseldorf states that the King of
Hanover is dying, at the palace of the Prince of Solms,
in that town.

The only articles in the original columns of the
French papers, which have any general interest, are
in the Constitutionnel and the Courrier Francais, on
the late ordonnance of the King of Prussia. The
Constitutionnel says :—" There is undoubtedly a very
great difference between the rules laid down by this
Royal regulation, and a series of enactments fixed by
a true . national representation. What Frederick
William grants to his subjects is only a sort of a con-
sulting Government, and the Prince reserves to him-
self the privilege of pointing out the subjects on
which the provincial governments shall be invited to
give their opinion. The very manner in which these
commissions are formed is liable to just objections,
since the nobility alone will possess the half of the votes.
The Courrier Francais has the following :—" The
three orders of the States appear in these Committees
in very unequal proportions, for the nobility alone has
as many members as the two others together. We
must add, that this kind of elective council is never to
deliberate, end its functions are limited to replying
when consulted, and to give advice which will be fol-
lowed or not. If King Frederick William has an
arriere pensee he will regard the Provincial Com-
mittees less as the organs of the public will, than as a
means of diminishing in the acts of his Government
the responsibility which he would otherwise incur.
Such a system, however imperfect, will serve as a
precedent, and contribute towards preparing the Prus-
sians for liberty."
The Leipsic Gazette states, from Servia, that the
investigations into the late conspiracy in that country,
and which bas-been put down, prove that Prince
Miksch was at the head of it, and directed the pro-
ceedings of the conspirators.
An accident, which might have been very serious,
occurred on the 30th ult. to the Princess de Metter-
nich and the Countess d'lngelheim, who accompanied
her. Just as their carriage arrived at the chateau of
the husband of the Countess, the horses took fright,
and the carriage was overturned into a ditch. The
Princess escaped unhurt, but the Countess received
some severe contusions.

MONEY-TRADE-COWLIVIER.CE.
One of the principal bakers in Windsor has just
agreed to supply the union in that place with bread
"of the best seconds flour" at 61d. per 41b. loaf. At
the present moment the public are, in most places,
paying for the same sized loaf, from 7d. up to 94-d.
At the fourteenth. half-yearly meeting of the Croy-
don Railway Proprietors, held on Thursday, at the Lon-
don Tavern, it was stated by the report read, that the
expenditure for the half-year amounted to 17,5171.,
and the receipts to 19,4151., leaving a balance of
1,8971. The Directors have empowered themselves,
by a resolution, to raise a further capital of 66,0001.
At Stockport the Messrs. Bradshaw's factory has
continued to work at the old prices, but under guard
of the specials. One man, named Allinson, or Elli-
son, an active agitator, was apprehended on Thursday in
the act of intimidating one of the female operatives
on the way from her home to her labour. He was
brought up for examination, convicted, and sent to the
House of Correction for three months on the charge
of intimidation. _
