The most remarkable article Of intelligence
is that Of the reaction OF the corn market. There
had been sudden fall in the prices of grain of
every description, in Englah ireland and France.
This change appears to have arisen from an ex-
cess of quantity, not so much from the large i'm
tations. as from panic among the spectators,
who had become alarmed at the high prices.
The greatest change is in the price OF Indian
Corn, which reached its greatest depression a

SIS HIGHER than in the beginning Of the same
week The Newrv Telegraph of April LIST says
that on the 10Th of February Indian Corn sold
freely at ELS to els IS per ton, and 1t Is now
with difficulty disposed of at Gl2 los per ton,

declined within that period from 46s to 80 4Os.

show that vlestitution has been greatly exagger-
ated and in some districts scenes Of turbulence
have occurred, although generally the poor peo-
pie have submitted with exemplary patience. In
some districts the order had not been enforced.
The new relief measures will soon be 10 opera

city of Dublin, the preliminary arrangements
have all been completed and rates will soon be

The King of Denmark had determined to grant
n constitution to his subjects. His Majesty, in
stead of proceeding by ordinance, had convoked
at Copenhagen a commission Of % members, e.
lected by the State Assemblies. Those assem-
bles, four in number were to meet during three
days, in order to choose each seven commission
ers. If, after celebrating IN common, the dele
gates of those assemblies should agtee on the
basis of a constitution, the King would promul-
gate it in the form they recommended. 1t was
added that the Government would shortly pro-
pose to the States to declare the Crown OF Den
mark hereditary in the male ne,-1uneS, 18th.
