HEALTH OF THE KING OF THE BELGIANS.—The
health of the King continues much improved, and Mr. H.
Thompson returned during the week from Brussels. There
is an impression, however, that some portion of calculus
may still exist in the bladaer, although nothing could be de-
tected at the last examinat'on. It is probable, therefore,
that Mr. Thompson may make another visit after a short
time.—Lancet.

THE DISCOVERY OF THE SOURCE OF THE NILE.—
All readers will be glad to learn that the Messrs.
Blackwood of Edinburgh have made arrangements with
Captains Speke and Grant for the immediate publication of
what cannot fail to be their exceedingly interesting travels
and discoveries in Eastern and Central Africa. The MS.
is, we believe, already in course of preparation. All who
have had the opportunity of reading Captain Speke's
graphic descriptions of his former travels in Blackwood's
Magazine, will anticipate a rich treat from the account of
the more adventurous and successful explorations in which.
he has latterly been engaged.—Scotsman.

STAR CLUB OF LONDON.—A numerous meeting
of the members of this club and their friends took
place on the 25th inst., at the Crystal Palace, where they
dined together. Mr. Oliviera presided; and there were
present—Mr. Scott Russell. Mr. Xenos, Mr. Delarue, Mr.
Maclean, C.E., the Rev. Mr. Harford (minor canon of
Westminster). Mr. Froorn, Dr. Waller Lewis, Mr. James.
Grant, Mr. T. Page, C.E., General Baron Leuk,
Klapka, Mr. B. Leigh, the Hon. J. L. O'Sullivan, and
several other visitors. The American Minister, with Mrs.
and Miss Adams, Sir Rowland Hill, and Admiral and Lady
Sartorius, were prevented from attending. It was an-
nounced that a dejeuner and ball would be given by the
members to their friends on the 25th July, at a house and
grounds near London.

The Algerian journals represent the clip of wool
