THE CZAR’S ILLNESS.

PrnVe—nr Zaechhrtn Bay* the Malady ■* Incurable, 3 The correspondent of the London Standard at St. Petersburg telegraphs that ba has learned from an eye-witness that Prof. Zaccharin, while in attendance upon the Czar, said, Tuesday night: “Your Majesty’s malady is incurable. With care and attention frour valuable life may be prolonged for some months, but it is useless to conceal the fact that no remedies will avail beyond a certain period.” The Emperor* after the interview, entered a room in which a number of hi* relatives were assembled, and said: “Prof. Zaccharin has just told me that there is no hope.” The Emperor was visibly affected, and those present were thrown into a state of consternation by the change in his face and bearing. They greatly blamed the professor for his frankness. It is reported that Prof. Leyden considers that Bright’* disease, from which the Czar is suffering, has existed for two years, and that he was surprised that the malady was not discovered before.
