HEALTH OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.
—(THIS DAT.)—Very serious reports have come from
Addington this morning relative to the state of health of his
Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. Ile passed a restless
night, and is much prostrated by weakness. The Bishop of
Winchester, his grace's brother ; the Rev. Canon Thomas,
his son-in-law; and other relatives, with Mr. Felix
Knyvett, his secretary, are at Addington, in atten-
dance on the archbishop, who knows them all
perfectly, although he is unable to converse with
them, except in a few scattered and broken sentences.
The archbishop's friends and the medical gentlemen who are
in attendance upon him do not hesitate to express their con-
viction that all chance of recovery is gone. Diocesan ar-
rangements are necessarily postponed, and it is understood
that matters of immediate importance affecting the clergy
of the diocese will be attended to by the Bishops of Ito- '
charter and Chichester, the prelates of the adjacent sees.
Prayers were offered up in Canterbury Cathedral on Sunday
last for his grace's recovery.
