No further disturbances occured in London, the Sunday trading bill having been withdrawn and quiet consequently restored.

Raglan had been suffering from indisposition, but until 4 P. M. on tb$ 28tl), his disease progressed to the satisfaction of his medical attendant. Afterward alarming symptoms developed themselves, attended with difficulty of breathing which gradually increased. At 5 o'clock P. M. he was unconscious. From this period he gradually sunk until 25 minutes before 9, at which time he died.

The proceedings were commenced by a man attempting to address the

In his speech he said the conferences lately held at ienna failed to secure a return of peace. He came before them to make a new appeal to their patriotism, and justified the conduct of the allies in the conferences, and demonstrated their moderation.

He relied on the legislative body to give him means to continue the war. He had formerly resolved to placo himself iu the midst of the army, but serious questions abroad and important questions at homo had forced him to abandon his intentions.
