THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.
About four weeks ago his Royal Highness the
Duke of C.lmbridge 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. On 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 24th ult., and also a dinner party on the
succeeding day. Her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Cambridge has also since that day declined
accPptitig invitations to the fetes 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
attention of his intdical advisers have hitherto
failed to restore. The physicians, together with Mr.
Ideate and Mr. Dingwortb, have been in constant
daily attendance on the royal pitient, and during the
pest week the daily accounts were favourable on two
or three different days ; still, however, no decisive
rally has ,et taken place, and the state of his Royal
Highness is becoming a sut,j,ct of anxiety and 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 ; end 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 bis rest-
dence in St. James's Palace.

The following bulletin of the Duke of Cambridge
health was issued yesterday :
" Ilis Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who
has been ibbourtng for some time under serious indis-
position, continues in a state of great debility.

counnodation, which have never hitherto been denied to
them.—l um, Sir, you's respectfully,
