Supper and the Agents-General pro posed to entertain Sir Rob. G. Herbert, ■who is retiring from the Colonial Office, has been postponed. The Agents-General are considering the propriety of sending a united message of condolence to the Prince of Wales. The "British Medical Journal" states that on Thursday last the Duke of Clarence was subject to shivering, and on Saturday a patch of pneumonia developed at the base of the left lung. The temperature then was 103 and the pulse 90. The patient passed a restless night, and on Sunday the temperature fell. On Monday the right middle lobe became implicated, and on Mon day night he had but little sleep. He was excited and delirious, which was a dominant feature of the late phase of the illness, and the worst was feared on Wednesday. His mother is overwhelmed at his death, and Princess Mary is heart broken. The Queen is reported to have recovered from the shock. The great bells m St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey were tolled. Public signs of mourning are general throughout the United Kingdom. All the Europeon royalties "have sent mes sages of condolence to the bereaved I family. The Prince of Wales desired that the funeral should take place at Sandring ham, but the Queen ordered it to be at Windsor at the end of next week. The King of the Belgians will attend the funeral. It is reported that the Duke's be trothed, Princess, is ill. The members of the household have been permitted to view the body. The news of the death has created intense sorrow among all classes m England, Canada and Africa. The English Press eulogises the deceased's amiable qualities and promising char acteristics m termsof deepest sympathy. The Press refers to the Duke of Clarence's desire to marry a Princess of the House of France, if her religion had notprevented it. AlltheAmerican and Continental Press condole with the family. London, January 15. The Princess Victoria Mary of Teck, the betrothed of the deceased Dnke of Clarence and Avondale, is quite incon solable and restless, and wanders about her room and declines to partake of food. It is reported that Prince George is engaged to a daughter of Prince Christian. A reassuring message reached the Queen at midnight on Wednesday, when the Duke of Clarence was sleeping peacefully. At 2 a.m. he collapsed, and his illness threatened to end fatally. The family were at once summoned, and he somewhat rallied and partly regained consciousness. The Chaplain read the prayers for the dying. The Duke died peacefully and unconscious m the presence of his father and mother, who had never left his bedside, his brother Prince George, and sisters Princesses Louise (Duchess of Fife), Victoria, and Maud, the Duke of Fife, and Princess Mary of Teck, his betrothed. The Queen's medical attendants dissuaded her from proceeding to Sandringham. Her Majesty expressed the deepest grief at the Duke's illness and expressed devoted attachment to her grandson, who had always evinced the greatest affection towards her. The Duke of Clarence was delirious for several houx's before death. The Viceroy of Egypt and the Pope sent messages of condolence, and similar telegrams are being received from all parts of the world. Canada will proclaim a funeral day, and go into mourning. Sydney, January 15. The City Corporation has cabled a message of condolence on the death of the Duke of Clarence and Avondale.

Holloway's Pills.—Nervous irritability —No part of the human machine requires more constant supervision than the nervous system—for upon it our health—and even life—depends. These pills strengthen the nerves, and are the safest general purifiers of the blood. Nausea, headache, giddiness, numbness, and mental apathy yield to them. They dispatch m a summary manner those distressing dyspeptic symptoms, stomachic paina, fullness at the pit of the stomach, ab dominal distension, and regulate alike capricious appetites and confined bowls— the commonly accompanying signs of defective or diminished nerve tone. Holloway's pills are particularly recom ineneuded to persons of studious and sedentary habits and irritable state, unless some such restorative be occasionally taken
