We are happy to hear that Lord Canterbury was
considerably better on Monday, though hardly to be consi-
dered out of danger. The knowledge of his sister's death was

Mott, an American practitioner, who is the usual medical at-
tendant on Lord Canterbury's family, induces us to state that
we understand the additional medical and surgical advice
which we intimated had been called in, was at the express
desire of Dr. Mott, who was anxious in such a case to have
his practice corroborated by the most -Iminent of the facultyAt
be found in Paris.

Lordship dying without issue, his.next brother, the Hon.
William Skeffington Clements, becomes Lord Clements, and
heir apparent to the Earldom. The present Lord was lately
