The Prince Regent of Prussia opened the Chambers on Wednesday,
in a speech remarkable for the omission of any allusion to the Italian difficulty. The Prince invokes Prussian patriotism, talks of the glorious history and traditions of Prussia ; describes the condition of the country as " good " ; refers to extensions of the railway system ; reports the strengthening of the army and navy ; and notifies the success of Ger- many over Denmark in the matter of the Duchies. This speech ends, as it began with a patriotic appeal.
Much affectionate interest is felt in the Princess Frederick William, and the coming fruit of her alliance with the probable heir of the crown of Prussia is anxiously looked for. The usual attendants, in- cluding Sir James Clark, a nurse from England, and one from West- phalia, have arrived in Berlin.
The Kangaroo arrived at Liverpool yesterday with advices from New York to the 1st January. The news is of little importance. It contains, however, a long report of a speech delivered by Senator Douglas at New York, in which he out-Douglases Douglas in his views upon American ex- tension.
