He had lam III "a comatose condition since Tuesday All of his family were present at the deathbed. His death was preceded hy such a complete change in his appearances. consequent upon h's long and wearing illness. that he was scarcely re- cognzable by any one who had not seen him very recently Messages of sympathy were constantly received at Rochdale from the highest personages in the realm, and the deepest interest has been manifested in his condition and his family's bereavement.
 In the house of commons the Right Hon. William II. Smith, the government leader, with much emotion, referred to the death of MT. John Bright. He said tbat he would postpone his remarks Mir.

No arrangements will be made for filling his vacant seat in the house of commons until after the funeral, though it is rumored that MT. Chamberlain has already cast his line with view to be- coming the great mans successor. It is un- likely, however, that such move on the part of the Radical leader will be countenanced, end if the dead mans youngest son, who is a staunch Unionist, will accept the candidacy he will be returned to his fathers seat with out opposition an expression of the esteem in which John Bright was held by his political friends and opponents alike.
 The funeral will take place at Rochdale on Saturday. It will be conducted as privately as possible and the body will be inferred ill the Quaker burying ground.
