BARONESS BURDETT-COUTTS
OriH of the most striking incidents (says a London writer) on the route of the Jubilee procession on the Tuesday night and again on the Wednesday was the demonstration of popular feeling for Baroness Burdott-Coutts ouiKi«ilo her house at the corner of Stratton street. On Tuesday tlie vast crowds which iiassed tho house curly in the evening firmed a block which could not be moved until Unroncss Burdott-Coutts appeared on the balcony and bowed her acknowledgment », and then the roar of applause that cHino from tho sea of upturned faces was heard along tho whole length of Piccadilly. The scene was constantly repeated up to a lute hour, but on Wednesday night it was made cuntiiiuou-i for nearly five hours. Baroness Burdett-Coutts remained on her htdoony lill 2 a.m., when tho crowd broke across'the street and stopped the traffic, calling for a speech. Mr Burdett-Coutts said a fow warm words of acknowledgement on the Baroness's behalf, and called for three cheers for tho Queen, which were fortunately accepted by his hearers as indicating the finale of a really memorable celebration in honour of " a long life of golden deeds."
