Our readers will be gratified to know that His Royal Highness the Dnke of Albany Provincial Grand Master Oxfordshire is recovering from the effeers of his recent illness . On Wednesday the Duke and Duchess left Osborne House about one p . m . to take a cruise in the Admiralty

yacht Lively , the tender of Rear Admiral the Duke of Edinburgh . Their Royal Highnesses drove to Trinity Wharf , East Covves , to embark in the Royal yacht Alberta , which conveyed them to the Lively , which laid at anchor

in the roadstead . At the Trinity Wharf a deputation from the inhabitants of East Cowes met their Royal Highnesses , and presented an address of welcome and congratulation to the Duke and Duchess . The Duke accepted the address , and gave a written reply , as follows : —

Mr . Robertson , Mr . Burnaby , Ladies and gentlemen , —I beg to thank yon most cordially , both on the Dachess of Albany ' s and on my own behalf , for the kind and hearty welcome you have extended to us on our arrival at Bast Cowes , and for the good wishes whioh

you express for our future happiness . The reception which the inhabitants of East Cowes have given us will serve to strengthen the interest I have always felt in a neighbourhood in which I have spent so many years of my past life , and which we hope we may frequently revisit in future . "

It is believed that the destination of the Lively is tho Scotch Coast , and our Royal brother with the Duchess will afterwards visit Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen at Balmoral . In reference to Prince Leopold ' s illness the Lancet says : —

" The Prince is known to suffer from constitutional weakness , with liability to haemorrhage —haematophilia . Of this malady he has recently had an attack . Hssmatopbilia ten years ago had no place in the College of Physicians' ' Nomenclature of Diseases . ' The malady is interesting for several features other than the tendency

to spontaneous haemorrhage , or to bleeding from slig ht traumatic causes ; such , for example , as the great proclivity to painful swellings of the joints , dependent or not upon injury , the fact of the morbid condition being in many cases congenital , and its hereditary transmission to males especially . It may be hoped that the present

indisposition of the Duke of Albany is not of a serious character , and that His Royal Hig hness will make a good recovery ; bnt it is abundantly evident that the avoidance of any considerable exertion must be continued for some time to come , and the Dnke will need regard himself as an invalid . Since his marriage His Royal

Highness has made a laudable aud highly appreciated effort to assume a full share of those toils of State whioh in England have for many years devolved on the younger members of the Royal Family . The state of His Royal Highness ' s health clearly necessitates more than ordinary caution in the expenditure of strength . Tho care which to

the Dnke of Albany is receiving from those about him is likely _ carry him safely through the present trouble , and such self-restraint a 8 he mnst be enjoined to practice rigorously in the futnre will ) » is hoped , be successful in preserving a life which , like that of every other member of the reigning family , is dear to the heart of a loya people .
