This necesarily shows tluit there is sonic increased vitality. There lias been no change in the general condition for the past 48 hours. While it is satisfactory that there is not a set back, reports ol improvement or of progress would have been more favourable. The present stationary p.noil is one of the non progressive time, anticipated by the doctors, and indicated in linn'sday's Review. Sir E. S- Hewitt, and Dr Woods ha,e reapplied the rays. Sir F.
