The wound is healing so rapidly that the doctors see no further necessity for issuing daily bulletins; and on Tuesday his Majesty was carefully removed to his yacht at Cowes, where he can sleep practically in the open air.

His Majesty's renewed health, besides being gratifying to the country, will greatly facilitate ,the reconstruction of the Cabinet. It is now stated semi- ,Officially that the Coronation is fixed for August 9th, and that although the service in the Abbey will be curtailed, the pro- cession which was to precede the ceremonial will take place. His Majesty, to please his subjects, consents for that day to he worn out.
