Prussia.


New YORK, JAM z, 1851.
Your London correspondent, of the 10th of De-
cember, mentions the force that Russia might be
able TO bring into acti0n-a force amounting to
about 496, coo men and $50 field pieces Russia has
most decidedly larger force on foot, even now,

proper, you may insert the following translation

DEsTRt GIVE FIRE All Urea, ". IA despatch
TO the Albany Rstao, Of the 1i,h inst, from
Utica, says;-A tire broke out at one o'clock this
morning. in the upper part OF the First Presbyterian
Church, which reduced that noble edIfce to ruins
with terrible rapdty. The sleeple was entirely
consumed, very soon after the alarm was given
The appearance OF the fire, just before the fall Of
the steeple, was most magnificent and that fal l
itself, though II carried TO the hearts Of all
our citizens, was a brilliant spectacle. The spre
fell about half past one, with tremendous crash,
and, though apprehensions had been felt that ID
would strike some OF the neighboring houses IL
fell so perpendicularly into Washington street thai
nothing was touched. The whole interior OF the
church was consumed, and nothing but the bare
walls remain. There was an insurance OF slO, 900
on the building, and 800 the valuable library Of
Rev Mr.. Fowler, which had been placed in the
study few days before. The books were saved.
A small house adjoining, occupied by the sexton,
was destroyed. The heat OF the conhagration was
so intense that the houses in the vicinity were
several times on fire. The First Presbyterian
Church in Utica was built about twenty.five years
since, at cost of $4,000, and, at the time Of its
erection, surpassed any other church edice in the
interior OF the State. IL was a building Of great
size, with steeple 2l5 feet in height The church
contained large and very superior organ, which
was purchased, few years since, al a cost Of about
5000.

The following Is literal translation Of this i'm
por.ant dooument-the basis Of the conference to
be held at Dresden;
For more than ten years, the necessity and the
wish Of thorough reform Of the constitution oil
the German Diet have manifested themselves uni.
yefsally in Germany. IL has been generally &C.
knowltdged and painfully felt, by rue patriots,
that the administrative power Of the Diet, as con.
stituted by the treaties Of ISIS, responded very
sparingly 10 the wants Of Germany, both internally
and externally; that IL did not unite closely enough
the German states together that Il did not provide
for the common welfare with sufficient yigor; that
II did rot represent Germany abroad in so cca-
cious and worthy manner as the mental and ma.
ierial powers Of united Germany and her antece-
dents demanded.
The individual governments Of the Germaa Diet
have bitterly felt these Deficiencies. and eagerly
joined in the expressed wish for revision OF the
constitution OF the Diet. Various attempts, how.
ever, 10 that effect have proved sbortiye in conse-
quenoe q the magnitude and the multiplicity Of the
proy ositons for the creation Of and suii cling
institutions. The partial reason Of these failures
was that the constitution Of 1915 offered a small
handle for operating organic reforms, but the prn.
oiple reason was that the consequences Of the in.
efficiency Of that constitution had not made itself
Practically manifest by experience.
The events Of ISIS have completely altered the

threatening storm, and to afford protection to the
individual States: il became virtually exunct, the

usCiion, have not met with success.
