Thursday, March 90.
Yesterday most imposing and Affecting solemnity
took place funeral Of the citizens who fell during
the late struggle The procession moved along the Lin
den in front of the palace where the King standing
bare sded to see it pass, and through the Kongs
strssse to kind of park called Fredericks Grove which
had been selected for the place of burial An immenso
crowd had assembled to witness tho ceremony men,
women and children most Of them In black with Grape
round their hats and bonnets and all with staid
serious had been felt that
disturbances would break out on this occsson but
not murmur was heard and every thing of with
the greatest order and tranquility In former times i'm
mense display Of military force would have been consi
dered indispensable to keep order such crowd-now
neither soldiers nor policemen to be and
appeared evident that their presence was more
quisite than 1t desirable This augurs well the
future.
Amongst the collins noticed that Of q child of twelve
years OF sgs, who was shot at of the barbados
Most OF the killed were young men-students mechanics
and merchants clerks. Collections beiog made for
the wounded and for such families depsnded for their
81 besencs on the exerions of the deceased
was proposed at first that and soldiers should
be buried In the Same grave but this overruled
The latter had rendered themselves obnoxious for
this to be done with safety and has been concu
ded upon for them to be inferred privately possible
at tn, opposite extremity of the city.
Thus new epoch has begun for Prussia Her old
institutions have either been overhrown or are totte
ing to their fall and It is difficult to say what further
ohspges may be In etere for her Meanwhile tbs Diet,
or National Parliament will meet here the 81 Of next
month"; and on the proceedings OF that assembly depend
In great the future desni,s Of tho country
