This brought the businem of the National Rids Anode-
boa of 1864 to a close, the proceedings harlot altogether
extended over a period of seventeen days.
There were many inquiries made throughout the day u to
the state of Cooper. the private of the Ccddatreens Guards,
in 000sequere of the rather unfavourable reports of yester-
day. We regret to my that those unfavourable symptoms
have continued to iscrosse. the poor fellow passed a very
restless night, and was at times in a state of delirium, which
bee given the greatest anxiety to his moduel atteoduts.
His young and devoted wife has never been absent from him
during the whole of hie Moms, and she ministers with her
own bands every comfort that can be given to him. robe is
mutated by two nurses from 81. George's Hospital, provided
by the sasociatios, and everything is done for the sufferer
which human ingenuity ma devise, and the most fervent
boomers entertained by all, however frail the chance may
be, that the fatal result. may yet be averted.
