London, 24th Sept. Sit. Thomas Barlow (the eminent physician) was summoned from Paris to attend Lady Curzon, and arrived at Walmer at 11 o'clock last night by special traip.
The papers state that a long motor-car drive, which she took on Tuesday, started a severe internal hemorrhage, and acute ueritonitis supervened.
Lord Curzon hardly leaves the bedside. Two hundred telegrams from all parts of the world were received at Walmer Castle yes terday.
There is an improvement in Lady Curzon's condition, but it is still critical,
UNIVERSAL SYMPATHY,
The Standard, in an article on Thibet, states that it is eminently desirable that the author of the great policy be free to work out the details of the same.
Therefore the grave anxiety that now over. clouds the Viceroy is a public misfortune.
His fellow-countrymen of all parties join in sympathy for him, and hope his wife will be spared to continue her gracious part in the work which it is her husband's ambition to accomplish.
Any prolonged delay in his resumption of control at Calcutta will be a matter of regret.

WHEN ARE BANANAS RIPE!
What is believed by the Police to have been small hours of this morning, at No. 11 Eastern a deliberate attempt at arson occurred in the Street, Western District. The facis, as officially reported, appear to be that the Chinese con- stable on beat in the district, at 4.15 this morning, noticed smoke issuing from the second flour of the house in question and, suspecting a fire, sounded the alarm on his whistle-ane long blast, then went into the house to investigate the matter. He was speedily joined by two other Chinese and one Indian constable. In the second floor, which was found to be unoccupied, papers soaked in kerosene oil were discovered burning, while from the partitions were suspended some blad- ders, eighteen inches long and of the thickness of an ordinary wine bottle. These had also been filled with kerosene. Without a moments' hesitation one of the Chinese constables, see- ing the danger ahead, snatched away the blad- "ders, one of which was already slightly singed and on the point of ignition, and the other con-
