NEW YORK, July 5.--The London Times, in
q late issue, referring to Lady Franklins
critical condition, says: "She continues to
manifest the same deep interest in all con-
nected with the Arctic exploration which has
been the leading feature of her life"
A London dispatch SAYS: II regret to hear
that beyond the rally which she made ON
Sunday last, 9th of June, and which is still
maintained, there is no material Improvement
in Lady Franklin's health, and that her re-
covery is considered hopeless"
A San Francisco dispatch Of the 4th says,
the corvette Nxkagansett arrived here late
last night from the Cult of California.
The situation OF affairs in In Paz is more
serious since her departure.
It is understood that the corvette Benicia.
Capt Hopkins, is ordered to that port on her
return from Victoria.
American interests are said to be imperiled
by the insurrectionists.
The Benicia is expected in few days.
An Havana letter Of June 26th says, accord
ing to the official reports from Santa Clara,
several forces of the battalion of Baza, on the
Lguanca, surprised the encampment Of
Guaysbo, and killed eight rebels and captured
seven prisoners, on the 18th of June.
On the same day column Of Catalanes in
combination with the battalion of Baza sur
prised the encampment of Oecilio Gonzales,
in the Tomas de Vargas, and killed four in
surgents. The column OF Leon had an en-
counter with another small band of insur-
gents, June Is, and killed three OF their num-
Der. The insurgents in these encounters are
estimated to have had II killed, and to have
lost 70 prisoners and 81 horses. In this Cuban
war the horse is an important animal and
takes prominent place in all army reports.
More horses have been reported captured and
killed than have ever existed in the Island OF
Cuba.
A London letter Of June 22d says, as the
time draws on for the departure of the Prince
of Wales for India, the difficulties of the
journey are more clearly appreciated. 1t has
not yet been settled whether the Prince is to
supercede the Viceroy or to accompany him
as guest and even cid Indians are very much
divided ON the question, some asserting that
it will have bad effect on the minds of the
natives il the Queens son plays second fiddle
to the Queens deputy; while others argue
that it is of more importance that the
Viceroy's dignity should be maintained at the
highest point, as after all he is the permanent
representative of Great Britain in India The
Princes costume is another problem. A
Prince in q calico shooting jacket would not
be, it is thought, sufficiently impressive, and
though the red coat and cooked hat Of an
English Field Marshal is no doubt imposing
enough, it is very fsiguing to the wearer in q
hot country.
It was at one time contemplated that the
Princess would accompany her husband, but
this idea has been abandoned, partly on &C
count of the difficulties in regard to etiquette
and partly on economical grounds.
The government is still scheming how to
to get money for the expenses Of the trip ont
Of India.
For some months past the Prince has been
suffering from sciatica, and it is to be hoped
that the Eastern climate will do him good
John Welsh. aged seventeen, was fatally
shot yesterday and several other persons
severely injured.
