NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1871.—TRIPLE SHEET. THE PRINCE OF WALES’ ILLNESS. His Royal Highness Invalided by an Attack of Fever. THE MEDICAL BULLETINS An Uncomfortable Night, but the Symptoms Not Alarming. TELEGRAM TO THE KEW YORK HERALE. Lonpow, Nov. 23, 1871, The indisposition of the Prince of Wales continues. His physicians state that the symptoms are those of typhoid fever. His Royal Highness passed a rather uncom- fortable night. His case shows no signs of improvement this morning. The Medical Bulletin. Lonpoy, Nov. 23—Evening. An offtcial medical bulletin was issued this evening announcing to ihe people the condi- tion of the Prince of Wales’ health. The paper is signed by the attending physicians, They state that “the Prince is. suffering from an attack of typhoid fever, but the symp- toms are not alarming.” The cable news which we pubiish this morning gives an account of the present critical condition Of the health of the Prince of Wales,.the nelr appa- rent to the English throne, It is curious to observe that he is suffering from a malady of probably much the same type as that which carried off his father while still @mparatively a young man. Prince Albert, it will be remembered, died after an illness of a few hours’ duration of gastric fever. Inheriting @ constitution which, though strength- ened by new and healthy blood, is still feebie, and subjected, according to common report, to the enervating influences which are incident to the life of a free living patrician, there would be nothing very surprising in the news of his premature death, And judging from the tone even of the conservative English journals, and still more from the franker reports of the HExanD correspondent in London, his demise would not be greeted with extravagant regrets by the Englisn people, His lite, though still brief, has had a iull measure of unseemly scandal, and he has gtven BO promise cither of the great virtne or talents which would make bim a beloved occupant of tho throne. Of the sick, as well as of the dead, itis a hara tning to be forced to speak sternly; but in unis case it would be le to ignore the truth, The Prince would be interred with splendid ceremonies, but few tears would perhaps be shed before his tomb. Nay, some might even say that kis death ‘would probably defer to a later period the full con- summation of that peaceful revolution which 1s now converting Great Britain from @ monarchy into a republic, for many, even among reputabie Englisp newspapers and reviews, have hinted at the reluc- tance with which the British people would accept a Tepresentative whose pri vate character is said to be stained with many lapses from ordinary decency. If the Prince dies the heirship to the throne would, ef course, descend to his eldest sen, Prince Albert Victor Chrisuan Edward, who was born at Frog- more Lodge, Windsor, on the sth of January, 1864 and is consequently now nearly eight years old, ‘The law of succession to the British throne provides that the crown shall descend te the direct lineal male heir. The chances of the brothers of the Prince of Wales to inherit the throne are, there- fore, very slender. Between Prince Alired, the Queen's second gon, and the crown there stand five lives, only one of the Prince of Wales’ six chil- dren having died, and the chance of male children to Prince Albert Eaward tne younger. ‘wo sons and three girls are still ailve to the Prince or Wales, and it is hardly probable that they wili all die prematurely. ‘The immediate effect of the death of the Prince of ‘Wales would probably be to still further postpone the execution of the Queen’s reported wish to abdl- cate the throne. But for the unpopularity of the heir apparent she would, it is said, have already resigned into his hands the reins of power. As it isshe nas transferred to him some of the more fatiguing duties of royalty, ana he has held ievees ‘and given receptions in her stead. His death would most likely mduce her to keep the throne until the infant helr apparent should Teach manhood. Should sue, however, persist in her purpose to resign the cares of state, orshould she herself die, a regency would nave to be estavlished. Such a regency, however, could scarcely be very popular. The Duke of Cambridge, who enjoys an unenviavie reputation, or Prince Al- fred, whose visit to Australia developed many very unpopular traits of character, would probably be appointed regent, Either selection would be very ‘unacceptable to the English people, ‘We have thus briefly reviewed the consequences of the Prince’s death, not that we believe he is already in extremis, although the telegram bulle- tins are somewhat omntous, and the words of the attending physicians particularly cautious in their expression, but because many Americans, unskilied in the mysteries of hereditary succession, might fairly be puzzled over the possible resuits o! such a contingency.
