THEPRINCE IMPERIAL. —Our Paris correspondent
writes:—" I have the best authority to state that the pro-
ve.. of the Prince Imperial is still satisfactory, and that
the disquieting rumours which are circulated here, and no
doubt elsewhere, sato the occurrence of complications in the
condition of the lungs, are without foundation. Where a
drainage tube has been introduced, as in this we, the
process of recover) is necessarily slow, but no real anxiety
as felt about the issue. Alluding to a more delicate sub-
ject, I may say alsothat there is no truth whatever in the
rumour current here for a few weeks, and which has. I
see, found Its way into some Loudon papers, that the Em-
press is encitnte."—Britiall Medical Journal.
Cholera has again made its appearance in Paris.
We learn on good authority that seven or eight cases were
admitted in the course of Out week into a maison de anti;
in the northern district of the city, and one death took
