Prince Albert Victor, the next heir to the Crown 'after

the Prince of Wales, lies still in a dangerous condition. From the 5th to the 11th inst. he was, the Lancet says, decidedly better, but on the 11th he had a sharp relapse of fever, which has not yet departed. The case, according to our contemporary, is "progressing satisfactorily;" but a lad of thirteen who has for five weeks been on his back with typhoid fever, and then has had a sharp relapse, must be dangerously ill. The slight attention paid by the public to the illness of this child, who may have such a history and who is so close to the throne, is almost unintelligible.
