lie declared unreservedy to bystanders as he passed
ont of the house that he did not expect to find His
Royal Highness living when he returned The dis
patch adds that expressions dropped by members OF
the royal family. and others in close attendance on

abandoned.
In accordance with the request of the Archbishop
Of Canterbury prayers for tho recovery of the heir
apparent were introduced in the service In all the
Anglican churches yesterday. In the Roman Catho-
lie churches Jewish synagogues, and Dissenting
chapes special prayers were also offered. The feel
ing Of grief for the present and uneasi-
ness for the future is profound and wide
spread Business is almost wholly sus-
pended throughout the country. The telegraph
lines are blocked with the multitude of messages
sent to and fro concerning the Prince The greatest
anxiety is manifested to obtain the latest news. The
morning and evening papers issue extra editions ut
every hour. The official bulletins from Sandrlng-
ham-which are too rarely issued, however. to
satisfy the public demand-are posted up, as
soon as received. at the Marlborough House
,the city residence of the Prince of Wales, the
Mansion House. and the Horse Guards, where they
are surrounded by great crowds Of anxious and
silent people. 1t is reported on good authority that,
with one exception the Prince has been Unconscious
since the LIST of the month. The Princes
children, the Queen and other members of the Royal
family were repeatedly aummoned to the bedside of
the Prince yesterday and to-day.

to the subject Of the Princes illness and it's possible
fatal result. Several columns are devoted 10 dis
patches describing the manner in which the news Is
received in the Provinces. The lines also gives
in detail an account of the progress of the
fever. This report shows that soon after the
fever set ia the mind of the Prince began
TO wander. The first lucid interval he had was on
the birthday of his wife, the LIST of December; when
he exclaimed in natural tone Of voice. This is
the Princess's birthday On another occasion. just
lefore his relapse something said in his hearing
about the Queen and he asked: Has the Queen
