Toe Pal:Oras or WALES —At the beginning of last
wash there were siniater runionrs current respeeting the
health of Her Royal 11jhnr.s. 'Ehe Post stated that
@be precarious stoic of the Princese erected meek un•
swineta amongst the Royal Family, tha. it was under-
stood Her Majesty tel.-genitivd to the King and Queen
of Denmark on Rondo reqeestinn their immediate
attendance, said that on Monday it was expected Her
!Neste would return to London in order to he near the
Morn.; The evening paper 3 of that day stated the
Poets paragraph wee unauthorised, and that the Queen
was not coming to London that day; bet thin cad
announcement was made: "Her Royal High.,., is
off ring much from the rheumatism In the knee, from
which, as stated in the last bulletin, the recovery omit
neusorily be slow." It has since become known (says
a contemporary) that Her Majesty on visiting the
Princes, on Saturday evinced much one en at the
change which had taken piece in her •ppearimee. The
•mit was prolonged f r an unnsual time, aid orders
were not given for quitting Buckingham Palace until a
late hour. Sir William Fergeson was called in oaring
the evening, and eith his sanction means were token to
prevent if pousibie. 1.7 meolorniml appliances, the
tendency to oontesetion in one or the jai..., which ie e
we I.lceown incident of the malady. It is mid that the
rheisnitic affection was caused by sold taken by the
Primo., who, bring fond of sketching, had ineaurions'y
sat too long in the open air during her stay at Sandring-
ham. On Thereday abulhotin was Oozed stating that "no
important change in tie condition of her Royal High..,.
the Primo.. of Wales has token place since the last
halletin was limited. The indiums:aloe of the knee
joint, though still aiming pain and interrupting siren,
is slowly diminishing." The Lancet say. :—" Rumours
have been ed.ust during the past week respecting the
health of the Princes@ of Wale., which, we are happy to
say, are as unfounded as they are en traordinary. With
the emieption of • few restless eighte, which were
doubtless occasions' by the neeeseery constraint to
which her Royal Highnos was subjected on acensint of
the local affection which has beee described, hei progress
has been very 'distort rf. It is expected, indeed, that
in &few days this sliest, whoa. eneididon is a matter
of sash heartfelt solicitude to as all, will be able onee
more to quit her bed. For some time to come, however,
she will prhebly have to submit to the •pplicatirm of
inch mechanical surport es wi'l limit movement in ih.
joint which ban Iron so severely ettaclori by rheuma-
tism." Aosirding to the British Medical Journal.
"then. has been nothing in the condition of her Royal
Highness which has canned alarm in the minds of any of
her medical attendant; or which amid justify the wild
rumours which have been dying about. The general
ondition of her Royal Highness has been one of pro-
gressive oonvakeeence, and the rheumatic affection of
the knee has been slowly improving. The general
rheumatic disorder havieg promptly disappeared, and
the severity of the atteck having fallen upon a joint, it
follows that the progroe of that local :ideation to re-
envoy can only be slow ; and, in She OW. of • delicate
lady situated ea is the illuetrious patient, meek time
and care will be needed. Etat there have not bees env
untoward symptoms at any time daring the week. Nor
need any apprehension be aroused by the rionouneed in-
bogies of the Queen of Denmark to visit the Prince...
Under gush circumstances as the present, it will not be
necessary to seek for •ny other wilily/sloe the visit then
the promptings of natural affection. Tbe medical
halls tie, have throughout announced with candour the
actual state of the patient; and the :immuring state-
ment. hacked on Thursday may be accepted without
rtsairvation."

is what way they could avoid -lacins a disproportion-
ate power In the h•nde of • class. They had heard of
plurality of votes, of deallty at votes, and of cumulative
vote; The late Mr. Goblins sugpsted • plan of
dividing • town which returned more than one member
Into wards, and of giving one member to each ward.
He could not enter into details with regard to the
Government Flan, but he thsught it probable lbtt they
would and that some such plan as this would be pro-
posed to • limited extent by the execreise of • second
vote. There must he new franchises, the object being
mall to extend the franchise, to increase the electoral
body, but in snob • way se would give the right of
Tolling to person. who, though not holvmholdera, were
by atheation and roaition in life as well caloolatal as
others to take part in the election of rispreautatiiim.
