The present trouble is mental, bcin;, in medical termw, avaxy, or disorder of tlio nerves, and in plain fact au incident in his progress toward softening of the brain. Mr. Tililen has been spending the Hammer at (Jraystone, his handsome country place, under thu caro of physician, who ad vised perfect rest of mind and body.

Mr. Tililen was sonic time ago made aware of tho danger he was in, anil the erection and dccoiation of his magnificent new house in New York Citv was infant by him for a diversion to keep Ill's mind from morn engrossing subjects. Tho time correspondent has it from a gentleman in intimate iclationship with Tilden that in consequence of tho development of this necos sarily fatal malady ho lias resignedly laid down his life work and put himscll in waiting tor death. As yet his mind is clear, but he has scarcely any control of his nerves, and tho physicians lay that thu brain is already seri ously ailccti'd and will speedily degenerate. He may live several mouths, and ho may (lie within that timo. liTiillnii Mar Notes. London, Sept. II.
