THE LONDON UNEMPLOYED.
*! [rbuter's telegrams— copyright.] London, October 16. Further threatening demonstrations by the unemployed took place on Friday. Several persons wore the cap of Liberty, and the " Marseillaise " was sung. The Lord Mayor refused to receive a deputation from the men and was hooted by the mob. A crowd congregated outside the "Standard" newspaper office, and hooted and groaned some time, The police seized the red and black flags carried by the unemployed, and dispersed the gathering. A renewal of the demonstration took place yesterday. A large crowd assembled m Trafalgar square, where fierce harangues were delivered by a number of agitators. A procession was formed, which paraded the city, but was less uproarious than on the previous day. Strong complaints have been made against the stoppage of traffic and business owing to these processions being tolerated by the authorities,
