LORD BEAceSsrIELD's ILLNESS.
5 NEW YORK, October 20. "A London spe-
ciai says: The air Is heavy concerning the
illness OF Lord BeaconsHeld. The long
strafn made on his mental powers, not only
4 in the matter OF the Berlin treaty, but in
carrying on more or less acrimonious war
fare with Mr.. Gladstone, has seriously tln-
dermined his constitution. In this critical
condition OF things the Cabinet has been
summoned to consider what should be
done In case OF his Lordshfp's death.
It's now known that after the last meeting
of the Cabinet he was attacked by an epi-
Ieptic ut, which nearly had the effect OF
bringing to an end the eycntfui career OF
this remarkable man. SO severe was the at.
tack that 1t was feared his life would be en-
dangered IL he were Immediately removed.
He was, therefore, compelled to remain for
several hours in waiting-room at Hugen-
den before II was considered sale to transfer
him to his carriage. He was driven home
in charge OF physician, who has since ad-
mitted that he had fears OF fatal results from
fatigue resulting from this means OF trans.
port. His medical man had been criticised
for not ordering an invalid carriage for his
illustrious patient. A bulletin received in
this city this morning announces that Bea-
consteld is better and rapidly raflying to-
ward his former state Of health. Much
anxiety, however, prevails"
