The Favourable Progress of the King

ith June.

THE second Reuter's telegram we publish this morning, which was dis-arched from Bombay at 8.50 a.m yesterday morning, will be read with great satisfaction by every section of this community, as it gives a most favourable account of the condition of His Majesty King Edward under the untoward position in which the monarch has been placed at a very momentous time, to the profound sorrow of not only His Majesty's Joyal subjects, but no doubt of millions of the inhabitants of the civilised globe. We have the advice of medical authority that the condition of the King, as described in the telegram, shows that His Majesty has so far safely passed a very critical period, and—that as fa period of over thirty hours had dubsed since the surgical operation took place without any alarming symptoms having supervened, we have good cause to hope that the King will now make satisfactory pro-ress towards complete recovery. We can now only hope for a continuance of good reports.

Since writing the foregoing our special service telegram arrived giving most welcome intelligence of His Majesty's state of health, and confirming the remarks made above.
