PRUSSIA.

The King Of Prussia continued to show symp-
toms of improving health, but would not be in
condition 10 attend to business for a long time.
A Royal ordinance, signed by the King of Prus-
sia, was daily expected at Berlin, Professionally
deegating the regal powers to the Prince of Prus-
sia- This would avoid formal Regency, to which
the consent Of the two Chambers would be neces-
sary.

youths capacities and knowledge, prior to
assigning him to class. Calling to the

very well, now attend--in the bcginning
God made the world: parse world
All the b'hoy knew Of grammar was
what lie had heard that very morning from
the different classes recising around him.
but he had been taught that when was fight

from the shoulder right aud left, and it
would be all right sParse worldl' he
drawled out inquiringly, SO as 20 gum time.
