The ILLNESS of the King.

LONDON, Jan. IA special from Rome to
the Pail Mall Gazette says Prof. Baccelli Of
Rome and DR.. Bruns from Turin have been
summoned for consultation in regard to the
condition of the King. The left lower lobe OF
his right lung is congested, the whole right
pleura is affected and there is also intense inter.
costal neuralgia pain affecting the entire abdo-
men. This being the second day of the malady
1t is impossible to predict its issue. The King
is in perfect possession of his mental faculties
and is DESTROYS of taking the usual part in the
direction of affairs. When the news of the
Kings illness reached the Pope he asked the
cardinals who were present with him, what
will happen if the Vatican and Quirnal both be
come vacant.
The proposal to hold the next conclave else.
where than in Rome is strongly opposed by
Comerlevgo Pecci. The scheme is promoted by
the ultra montana cardinals.
ROME, Jan. z, naidnight.-The King passed a
fairly quiet day. The malady has not entered
any new place. and the Kings general condi-
ton is improved.

Proposed Change i'm the Patent Laws.

/ &EVPUsc0 SHaM&c lM INT f-ttcHt EIuWBs
| WARRINGTON Jan. THE destruction of the
| greater number of the models in the Patent
| Office fire has started movement among liz.
| ventors for radical change in the patent laws
1t is claimed that the present cost Of a patent
| IS excessive and greatly detrimental to inven.
1 ton and rational progress. II is proposed to
| abolish models and examinations, granting a
| patent to all who apply, as in England, leaving
the rights to the invention to be contested in
the courts, The inventor is to pay the Patent
ONCE for drawings, for printed specification
and for the patent, which on an average cost
| about five dollars. 1t is claimed that this re-
duction would not only greatly encourag
| invention, but will cause introduction of in
ventlons in even greater ratio, as the national
| progress is dependent upon the number of
us ful inventions introduced.
