During the week considerable anxiety was felt in regard to

the health of Lord Roberts, who has been laid up with an attack of pneumonia. Last Sunday, indeed, the reports pointed to a very grave condition. Happily, however, the serious symptoms soon passed completely away, and on Friday the patient's state was so satisfactory that it was announced, that no wale bulletins would be issued. Lord Roberts's constitution is a sound one, but we trust that alter this warning he will be careful during the coming winter not to expose himself to any unnecessary risks.
