LONDON, June 15th; - The bulletin issued at 11 o'clock yester day evening says that His Majesty's condi- tion is as good as can be expected.

THE KING'S ILLNESS. The bulletin issued at 10.30 this morning says that His Majesty was very restless and sleepless during the carly part of the night, but that he obtained some sleep after one o'clock this morning, and is now free from pain. The evening bulletin states that His, Majesty has passed a fairly cocifortable day, and that his general strength is well main- tained. There are no symptoms, causing special anxiety.

The bulletin issued at eleven this evening says that His Majesty continues to make satisfactory progress. He slept for some hours during the day; complains of very little discomfort, and is more cheerful. The wound is doing well.

CHINESE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

The following is what the American Press is saying on the new Chinese departure at Columbia University.

The attendance at Professor Gilas's lectures was surprising, and far surpassed the expecta- tions of the University authorities. Professor Giles himself declared before the course was through that had he known beforehand that the audience would be so large, he never would have come. This was said in a good-natured fire-way, for the English scholar felt complimented by the interest which was taken in what he had found to say. That he should have felt abashed because the gatherings were comparatively large seems en first thought unusual in one

The main entrance faces the Central Market and is made very fantastic and imposing by the numerous ornaments and Chinese lanterns hanging around. The quarters of the staf of shed keepers are on each side of this entrance. On going in it is seen that the interior is divided into two parts an outer and an inner circle. A partition of floral wonders, broken by four gaps, corresponding with the outer doors, divide the two circles. TheM
