SERIOUS CONDITION OF THE CROWN PRINCE.  The Standard's San Remo correspondent telegraphed on Tuesday that the Crown Prince has had a good night, and has been less troubled with cough and expectoration. No sensible change in any other respect has occurred since yesterday in his general condition. The continuance, however, of the trache irritation, evidenced by the constant cough and expectoration, overshadows all other considerations. For the extension downwards of this inflammation may, at any time, produce bronchitis, and by further extension downwards may ultimately reach the substance of the lung and give rise to localised congestion. Then, more extenetee pneumonia may ensue, if irritating particles from the diseased parts of the larynx find their way into the lung by the windpipe. The irritation produced by the matter may be sufficient to cause inflammation of the lungs--The Daily Telegraph correspondent at Berlin says : "It is no longer possible to entertain an optimistic view either of the nature or the prognosis of th, disease which is consuming the vital forces of the illustrious patient now residing at San Remo. I refrain from entering into all the painful details connected with this Lad state of affairs. By such a bedside some of us have watched, and the stages of such a disease ate known to alheither from experience or from hearsay. As far ag human skill and knowledge have been capable of effecting anything all has been done, and 110 reproach whatever should in justice be laid at anybody's door. What hope is clung to now must be confined to the limits of time. In many reports, originating from Sir Morell Mackenzie, this has been visible between the lines, but the initiated and the members of the Prussian Royal family have been informed to the letter of what they have to expect. According to the latest private accounts, Professors Bergmann and Kussmaul have discovered evidences of cancer, which Sir Morell Mackenzie desires should be submitted to a pathologist for verification. It is said that Professor Waldeyer, of Berlin, has been chosen for this pie pose.'"  Arrangements are being made for the purpose c 1 holding meetings at Manchester, Liverpool, and other towns, for the purpose of raising subscriptions in aid of the Lewis Crofters. The meetings will have no political significance, and men of all shacks of opinion will take part in their.  Terence Rice, who was sentenced to death in 1872, along with Slane, Hayes, and Beasley, for the murder of Henry Waine at Spenny more, Durham, but whose sentence was afterwards commuted, has been released with a free pardon. It will be remembered that Slane and Hayes were executed, and Beasley, whose mentencewas also commuted, obtained his discharge a fortnight ago.  On Saturday a sad fatality took place at the reIsidence of Mr. Edwin Morley, worsted spinner, Halifax. Mary Lamb, one of the servants, was found dead in bed, and another servant, Emily Beckett, was tinconstAms, having been suffocat,ed with gas, which had evidently escaped from the bath-room. The gas had been left on all night, hav:ng been used to heat the bath, and the water, left running, had put out the flame.  A wcaalng ceremony was Interrupted in the Minster at Wimbourne in a singular; manner on Monday. A painter, whose banns bad been published in the name of William Bretton, appeared in church with his brideelect, a dressmaker named Martha Read; but rumours having got abroad that the bridegroom was a married man the parties were asked into the vestry, where a Wimborne tradesman asserted that Bretton had told hiin he was a married man with two children. Bretton admitted having said this, but denied being married. The clergyman declined to proceed with the service, and the wedding was P°oiP°ictlor i 04016414 'ts 'JO '— •1' •.'  14. WA). bild i.
