BEACONSFIELD.
HIS LAST HOURS.

LONDON, April 19.-BeacOnsfleld TOOK
nourishment up to half past O'Clock. About
he became comatose, breathing with much
difficulty. Drs. Kidd and Bruce at once ap.
piled the usual restoratives, but for the first
time since his illness they failed to produce
any effect. and 1t became evident that death
was imminent, and Lord Darlington, DR..
Quain and Sir Phillip Rose were hastily sum-
moned. About five minutes before he ex-
pired his breathing became slow and gentle,
his face very placid, the heart ac-
ton and pulse ceased to be apparent,
but his friends and nurses continued
around his bed few minutes
after his pulse ceased, as the end was so quiet
it was difficult to realize he was dead. The
evening additions of the Standard and GLOBE
appear in mourning. The executors OF Bea.
conefeld's will are Sir Nathaniel and Sir Phil
lip Rose.
The Earl of Beaconsfeld will be buried by
the side of his wife in the graveyard of the
parish church of Hughenden Manor. At least
1t is understood this was his request and direc-
tion. The queen and the people would no
doubt be glad to honor him with a grave in
Westminster Abbey, but it is probable that
his own wishes will be respected. Beacons-
fields will divides his property between Ralph
Disraeli and Lord Rowton.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
New YORK, April ia dispatch from
London upon the death Of Beaconsfeld states
the drowsiness apparent in the latter part of
last evening, gradually deepened toward mid
night into a stupor from which his lordship
was with difficulty aroused. The stupor
deepened into coma, and toward o'clock his
breathing became very much embarrassed.
Lords Darlington and Rawlton continued to
grasp the right hand of Beaconsfield until the
last moment, his left hand being
held in that of DR.. Kidd. About
five minutes before breathing cease d
Sir Phillip Rose and DR.. Quain arrived. Then,
a most placid appearance came over his lord
ships face, which deeply moved all in the
room. For ten minutes the most perfect 81
lence was maintained, save the weeping of
some present.
A few days ago the east wind which per-
slstently blew for ten days, changed into
beautiful spring weather. The condition of
the patient improved and hopes were enter
tanned of his convalescence, but the east wind
returned yesterday, and by last night the tenn
perature had fallen to such an extent, that
during the entire bank holiday, much anxiety
was felt for the most noble earl. Conscious to
the last, he waited death with much fortitude.
Arrangements for the funeral will be left in
charge of the executors unless otherwise Or
dered by the queen. Dean Stanley has offered
grave in Westminster Abbey. A cast of the
features was successfully taken. BeacOns-
field insisted upon reading all the medical
bulletins before they were issued, freely criti-
clzing any points not in accordance with his
own opinions. He believed his illness would
terminate fatally
The remains of VIM. NJ. Morley were buried
to-day. An immense and sympathetic con-
course OF people were present.
COURT CIRCULAR.
The Court Circular publishes the following:
The queen received with feelings of the deep
est sorrow the news of the death OF Lord Bca-
constield, in whom her majesty loses most
valued and devoted friend and counsellor and
the nation one of its most distinguished states
men.
LOSS TO HIS PARTY.
The Ncivs says: Nowhere is there any in
clination to deny to Lord Beaconsfield the full
need of praise due his genius, undaunted
spirit, proud patience aud unconquerable will.
To the political party he led, the loss is ire
parable. Not twice in the same century could
any party expect to find leader of such ca
pacity and such resources.
The Times says since the close of Lord
Palmerton's long and memorable career, no
more conspicuous gap has been made in the
circle of English political life than by the
dea tn of Lord Beaconsfeld. No dissentient
voice will break in upon the tribute of admira-
tion in which his foes, we are sure
will cordially join with friends, that must be
paid to Beaconsfeld's high courage, unswerv-
ing purpose, imperturable temper and versatile
master of parliamentary tactics.
The Times understands Lord Rawton is left
sole trustee of all private papers of Lord Bea.
consfield with full power to do what he thinks
right with them.
The queen before leaving London for the
Isle of Wight expressed particular desire to
visit Beaconsfield, bnt his physicians replied
complete quiet was necessary.
