THE PRINCESS Op WALES.—The severe rheu-
matic affection from which her royal highness has been
suffering has happily passel away. There remains a
troublesome acute inflammation of the knee-joint, with
its concomitants of pain, effusion. and stiffness. This
must of necessity require time to run its course, and no
skill or care can avoid that necessity. In other respects
her royal highness and the infant princess continue to pro-
gress favourably.—British Medical Journal.
THE ENOINE-DRIVEBA' COMBINATION.—There is
evidently an impending struggle between the engine.
drivers and firemen and the managers of some of the
largest lines of railway. It is understood the North-
Eastern men have sent in proposals to the board for ac-
ceptance, of which the chief features are a considerable
advance of wages, giving to first-class drivers as far as
7s. 6d. per day, or 25 per cent. advanoe, and the reduction
of the day's labour to ten hours, every two hours of over-
time to count as • quarter of a day. There are some other
demands as to the settlements of disputes by the board
instead of its officers. The effects of these alterations, if
granted, would about double the wages on some lines
where fifteen hours a day are run, and it is estimated the
extra cost would be equal to more than • half per cent.
dividend. The North-Eastern men are awaiting the result
of • similar movement on the Crest Northern. If an
arrangement is not made, it is expected there will be •
general strike.—Times.
A NARROW ESCAPE.—The Manilla, with the
Bombay mail, arrived in Nonthampton Dock last night at
11 o'clock. A gentleman named Johnson, 70 years of age,
who was stopping at itadley's Hotel, went into the dock
to meet his daughter, who was • passenger in the Massilia.
He walked right over the quay and fell • height of about
20 feet into the dock, where there was about 30 feet of
water. Fortunately he was a good swimmer. A cry was
raised of " A man overboard,"and after some short time he
was picked up by a man who was lowered into the dock by
• rope. The water was intensely cold, and it was a wonder
that the gentleman was not drowned. He was carried to
his hotel, where he was put into • warm bath, and he soon
recovered from his visit to Cold Bath Fields, as the dock
is called.
