25 SEPTEMBER 1852, Page 9

After all the contradictory rumours, the latest report of Mr.

Macaulay' is, that the air of Clifton is really restoring "his accustomed health and strength."

Reports were current on Thursday that Mr. Albert Smith and his bro- ther had been drowned in the Rhone. Fortunately, Mr. Smith had only lost his pocket-book ; it was found at the water's edge about seven miles from Chalon ; and hence the report. A letter received by his father, of date subsequent to that discovery, expressing a wish for an immediate remittance, and the previous mention of 70/. in the pocket-book, are circumstances that mutually explain each other ; though Mr. Smith does not say how the loss happened. It is said that a gentleman, now in town, saw and shook hands with Mr. Smith, at Chamouni.
