Health.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-London correspond

some time known that his health was delicate.
Since the hemorrhage of last winter he has
never been strong. After quitting London he

true reason was probably that Mr.. Motley's
case might be under his physicians eye, and
have the best attendance constantly within
reach
The correspondence further states that Mr.
Motley did have slight paralytic stroke, which
fell powerlessly by his side, and the side itself
was somewhat affected. He was carried to his
hotel and has not left his room since. Physi-
clans agree that the attack is not serious and
will not disable him for any long time. Mr..
Motley's nervous system has suffered greatly
from over work,

to implicate those officers in wrong doing. This
was the only matter which occupied his atten-
