The Unemployed in London. [Reuter.]
LONDON, October 12. - Continuous demonstrations have been held throughout the city today by the unemployed. At an early hour thousands of persons assembled in Trafalgar Square, where a number of threatening speeches were delivered. A procession was afterwards formed, which proceeded to the Mansion House, a black banner, bearing the inscription " Bread or Work," being prominently displayed. On arriving at the Mansion House, a deputation interviewed the authorities, and made a demand for food or employment.
