THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.

About four weeks ago his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge became indisposed, and up to
the present time has continued ill at his town
residence in Piccadilly. His Royal Highness was,
in consequence, prevented from being at the christen-
ing of the infant Prince Arthur at Buckingham
Palace on the 22d of last month, but the D uchess of Cam-
bridge, with the Princess Mary and Prince George,
were present on the interesting occasion. Oa the
following day (the 23d ult.) orders were given to
postpone a large assembly intended to have been
given by the Duchess of Cambridge on Monday,
the 24'11 ult., and also a dinner party on the
succeeding day. Her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Cambridge has also since that day declined
accepting invitations to the files and parties given
by the leading nobility. His Royal Highness has con-
tinued from the commencement of his indisposition to
suffer from debility and loss of appetite, which the skill
and attention of his mtdical advisers have hitherto
I failed to restore. The physicians, together with Mr.
Ideate and Mr. Idingworth, have been in constant
daily attendance on the royal patient, and during the
past week the daily accounts were favourable on two
or three different days ; still, however, no decisive
rally has 3et taken place, and the state of his Royal
Highness is becoming a suljr:ct of anxiety bpi solici-
tude to all those to whom the estimable qualities of
the Royal Duke are familiar. On Saturday his
Royal Highness continued much in the same state,
the weakness still continuing. What slight altera-
tion there was in his condition was, we are happy to
state, favourable ; and the answer given to inquiries
was, that his Royal Highness was rather better. Her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, with the
Princess Mary, are at Cambridge House ; and Prince
George of Cambridge remains in town, at his resi-
dence in St. James's Palace.
The following bulletin of the Duke of Cambridge a

health was issued yesterday :
" His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who
has beau labouring for some time under serious indis-
position, continues in a state of groat debility.

THE COMING DEBATE ON THE POST-

OFFICE 01i-; ['RUCTIONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sits,—Allow me, through your widely-read columns,
to remind the public, and their representatives in Par-
liament, of the intenbely impprtant question which Mr.
Locke's motion will bring on in the House of Commons,
on Tuesday, the 9th (to-morrow). It is the question
whether L..rd Ashley and his Pharisee minority shall
Ferpetuase their scheme to multiply a hundred-fold
human toil ap d letter writing on a Sunday; or whether
the vast majority of the nation shall be restored to those
illegally suspended rights of postal intercourse and ac-
commi•dation, which have never hitherto been denied to
them.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully,
