THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND THE EMANCIPATION SOCIETY. The Chairman of the Emancipation Society has this day received, through the American Ambassador, the following reply on behalf of President Lincoln to an address which was adopted at a crowded meeting held in London, on January 29: " Department al State, Washington, April 25, 1863. To the citizens of London who were convened in Exeter Hall on the 29612Jannery hut. "The proceedings of a meeting of British subjects, citizens of London, in Exeter Hall, on the 29th of January last, which were transmitted to the undersigned, have, in com pliance with a request contained therein, been laid before the President of the United States. " It would have been most gratifying to the President if the insurrection which is existing in the United States could have been confined within such bounds as to pre vent it from disturbing the prosperity or otherwise engaging the attention of friendly nations. Fully convinced that any state which enders itself to become dependent on the aid, or even the sym pathy of a foreign lower, is equally unable and unfit to live, the President has been especially careful to refrain from nuking any appeal to friendly states, and even from seeming to attempt to influence their opinions upon the merits of the present conflict farther than has appeared to be necessary to avert ill-considered and wrong ful intervention. At the same time the President has neither questioned the right of other nations and com munities to form and express their opinions concerning the results of the questions raised by the insurrection, and the policy which the government has adopted in suppressing it, nor hash. com plained of the manner in which that right has been exer cised. On the contrary, he believes that the ultimate and impartial judgment of mankind upon all such questions is entitled to universal respect and acquiescence. " arcumatancea which neither this government nor that of Great Britain created or could control, have rendered it unavoidable that the causes, character, tendency, and objects of the insurrection should be discussed in that country with scarcely less freedom and esmartases than in our own. The results of that discuasion, if it shall conti nue to be conducted in a just and impartial spirit, may he taken as foreshadowing in some degree the ultimate judgment of mankind. It is, therefore, with sincere satisfaction that the President Lame from the proceedings now under consi deration, that a large, reepectable, and intelligent portion of the British people have on unprompted investigation arrived at the conclusion that the existing re bellion violates the principles of political justice, and that they protest against it as a wrong to the human race because it seeks to displace a government which is based on the rights of wan, to make room for the establishment of another which is to not upon human bondage as its corner done. "The Preeident would not do justice to his habitual Den. timenta,"if he were to omit to express also the satisfaction with which he has found that in all came those who are most just in their sentiments towards the United States, are also the most earnest in their desire far the preservation of international peace and friendship. This circumstance supplies to this government a new motive for adhering to its determined policy of peace, justice, and friendship towards all nations, and especially towards Great Britain.—l have the honour to be, " Your very obedient servant, Pied/ " Wrcumt H. BzwARD." LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. COMMilliOnell Fano.) 13 _ BB IDRAIDB.—APPLICA7IOI 101 tlliaaL The bankrupt, a widow, was brought up from Whilarramo street primon to make application for her &change.

Pickering and Richard son, Umbers, of Ireland, creditors for 4961. The bankrupt had acted as their Loudon meat, and bad sold goods with out accounting for the proceeds. Be attributed this to the abscooding of one Cumberland, who owed him 2301., and on whom he had given an order for the payment of the money to Messrs. Pickering and Co., but without the authority of Cumberland. Yr. a E.

The &deices at band to-day from all parts of the country date that the crops generally have derived great benefit from the fine rains which have fallen during the past week. With very few exceptions, the wheats are looking remark- ably strong and healthy. Fresh up this morning, the receipts of home-grown wheat were very moderate.

There is still no variation in the Panda, which are quoted precisely the same aa they closed onroaturlay. The other markets are quiet but generally firm. English railway stocks are well supported. Business in foreign securities has decidedly slackened. Prices in this department are rather better in some cases, and lower in others. The scrip of the Confederate Loan is rather better, at }to 14 prem. Italian is also somewhat firmer, at ii to 21 prem. Turkish is steady, at 1 to 1} prem. Consols are now quoted 931 to I, cum div., for money, and 92 to i, ex div., for the ac count (June 9). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Console, for mo- ney, 931, 4, 4 ; ditto for account, 92 ; Three I ( pet Cents. Reduced, Hi, f ; New Three per Cents., 911, ; Bank Stock, 234 ; India Stock, 232 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1104 ; ditto Bonds, 15s. prem. ; Exchequer Bills, 4a. dia. The foreign stock market is generally rather quiet. Spanish Passive Bords are rather fiat, but the Certificates are inquired for. Mexican Bonds slightly improved in the morning, but are now dull. Egyptian and New Granada Bonds are firm, with a continued demand, and New Granada Land War rants have advanced. Venezuela Six per Cents. have risen nearly 1 per cent. There is a re duction of to 4 per cent. in the Anglo- Turkish Loans, but the Consolidis have improved #. Greek Bonds, after being marked as high as 321, are now about f per cent. lower than on Saturday. Some of the present quotations are annexed. Turkish 1854 Loan, 88 to 89 ; ditto 1858, 70 to 4 ; ditto 1862, 71 to 4 ; the Consolidis, 504 to 1 ; Greek, 324 to 1 ; and Venezuela Six per Cents., 55 to 66.

The shares of the General Credit and Finance Society of London were dealt in this morning as high as 5 prem., but have since declined to 21 to 21 premium. Those of the International Financial Society are quoted 5 to E 4 prem. ; and London Financial Association, 1 to prem. The rise of per cent. in the Bank rate of dis count on a Saturday has occasioned considerable surprise, as well as not a little dissatisfaction, amongst the various monied establishments. It is urged that the step ought to have been taken on Wednesday or Thursday, when it was generally looked for. The reason for its sudden adoption is believed to be the continued activity of the demand for money at the Bank on Saturday, where, however, no pressure has been experienced. The alteration in the course of the money market will help to impart more firmness to the foreign exchanges, and may perhaps cause a portion of the future imports of gold to be retained here, thereby compensating for the recent withdrawals of sove reigns for Brazil, Turkey, and other quarters. In consequence of the alteration at the Bank, the joint-stock banks have raised the rate allowed for deposits from 2to 2} per cent. The terms of the London and Westminster Bank, however, are only 14 per cent for sums below 5001. The discount establishments will henceforward give 24 per cent. (instead of 2) "at call," and 21 ( instead of 21) at notice. The Star of Peace has arrived from Sydney with 18,1121. in gold. iseThe Shannon for the West Indies will take to day, 27,0001. in silver. The Melbourne advice. announce the sailing of the undermentioned gold ships for this country, viz. the Marco Polo, with 14,634 ounces ; the Essex, with 33,772 ounces ; the Dover Castle, with 27,067 ounces ; and the Edmund Graham with 18,871 ounces. The total by the four ves sels is 94,344 ounces, worth about 377,3001. The expected prospectus of the General Credit and Finance Company . of London (Limited) has been definitively issued. The board is strongly and influentially constituted, in cluding names of eminence in the commer cial, financial, banking, and railway world. The chairman, as before mentioned, is Mr. Samuel Laing, the late Finance Minister of India. In alphabetical order there then follow Mr. W. P. Andrew, chairman of the Scinde, Pau janb, and Delhi ailways, and of other undertak ings; Mr. Samuel Beale, M.P., chairman of the Midland Railway ; Mr. Edw ard Blount, the banker, of Paris ; Mr. Thomas Brassey, jun., the son of the great contractor ; Mr. Chas. P. Devaux, head of the firm of C. Devaux and Co. ; Sir S. A. Donald son, late Premier of New South Wales ; Mr. J. T. Mackenzie, deputy-chairman of the Eastern Bengal Railway ; Mr. John Bramley-Moore, 14. P. ; Mr. Alderman Salomon, M. P. ; Mr. Samuel Leo Schuster; Mr. Chsa. Turner, hi P., of Liverpool • and Mr. George Worms. The endeavour has apparently been to combine re presentatives of the home, continental, colonial, and Indian interests. The bankers are the London and Westminster and the Union Bank of London, both of which establishments are represented on the board—the former by its chairman, Mr. Alder man Salomons, and the latter by Mr. Samuel Beale. The influential Liverpool connexions of the pro jest will probably cause it to attract great attention in that town. Enterprise in the colonies and in India is to be specially en couraged : hence the accession of Sir S. A. Donaldson in the one ease, and of Mr. Laing and Mr. W. P. Andrew in the other ; as regards the continent, it has already been stated in these columns that the company will act lull agents for the Socidtd Genfrale of Paris, a large combination lately formed there for the develop ment of industrial and commercial enterprise. The I names connected with the Paris association have already been published, and appear on the 'prospectus of the present undertaking. It is also stated that the company proposes to establish general European agencies, and that relations have already been formed with Mr. Giles Loder, for Russia, and the Bank of Darmstadt. The pro gramme of the proposed operations is described as follows : The bashing, will be to negotiate loans and ea:cessions ; assist industrial enterprises, public works and railway us. dertakinp ; negotiate foreign, I udiau , and oolonial bonds ; con duct mercantile transactions; and establish sgeoelee for large commiesion business • in a word, to nodsrhke all such operations as an intelligest'and experienoed capitalist might effect on his own account with a capital of millions, with the exosption of such purely speculative transactions es are prohibited by the memorandum of smociation. The credit and resources derived from a lam subscribed capital could thus be employed in earning dividend with a comparatively small paid-up capital. The directors are to have no remuneration until the shareholders receive a minimum dividend of 5 per cent. ; 10 per cent, on the divisible profits of the year is then to be assigned to the board. The "first capital" is fixed at 2,500,0001. in 125,000 sham of 201. each. Of these 20,000 shares have been subscribed for by the French party, and the whole of the remaining 106,000 by the private subscrip tions of the directors and their friends, but arrange ments have been made for deducting from these subscriptions so as to give the public the option of subscribing for 35,000 shares. Al it is not doubted that there will be a great rush for them, no deposit is required from applicants. B IL IPd 1 . 11 .0 SAW ei 100 141 I• pm *lrma : 110 ma 7' ! Another new hotel company has been forme d, tinder the title of the Alexandra Hotel Company (Limited). The names attached to it are highly respectable. The obi: i t-kis to convert into one hotel mans io n s, including Vall d aoe's Hotel, at . Oeorge's-plaoe, Hyde park-corner. The site selected is regarded as in every way unexceptionable, and the arrangements are to be of a strictly first-class character. As the company does not intend to build, business ma be commenced within a much shorter period thee would otherwise be the case. A manager of special experience is to be engaged. The capital is fixed at 120,0001. in 12,000 shares of 101. each. The preliminary announcement has been made of a new project, bearing the title of the Cape Race Electric Telegraph and Lightship Company (Limited). It is intended to construct, equip, and station a steam light-ship off Cape Newfoundland, iu the track of steam and sailing ships bound to and from the North American colo nies and the Northern ports of the United States. The light-ship will have telegraphic communication with the shore by means of a submarine cable, one end of which is to be worked on board the vessel. It is urged that by these means there may be ob viated throughout one-half of every year an unne cessary delay of three days, which now occurs in the receipt and exchange of news between Europe and America. Various other useful services are to be rendered, with the aid of a steam tender. The capital proposed is 100,0001. The Metropolitan and Provincial Bank have given notice that a call of SL. per share on the first issue of shares will become payable on the Bth proximo. The reason for the mill is the increase in the business and connexions of the bank. This establishment is said to be making satisfactory pro gress, and the directors now therefore call upon the shareholders to give them the means of responding more fully to the requirements of the ample field which is opening up before the bank. The increase of their business rendering the em ployment of more capital advisable, the directors of the Union Bank of England and France have wise just made a call. The progress made by this establishment both here and on the Continent is said to be very favourable. The proprietary now comprises about 300 persons, many of whom have opened either drawing or deposit account& with the bank. The business ought to be • profitable one, considering the rapidity with which trade between England and France is growing. A special meeting of the Charing-mom Railway Company is called for the 2nd of June, and of the South Eastern Railway Company for the 3rd, to approve bills now before parliament, one of which authorises an amalgamation of these two com- panics. A general meeting of the Calcutta and South Eastern Railway Company is called for the 26th inst. A general meeting of the Oriental Gas Company will be held on the 25th inst. The receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the lat instant were 11,1521. sterling, being 1,4491. more than in the corresponding week of last year. tisrvaruir Evxsurs.

In the market for bank shares there was an improvement iu Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, Imperial English and Irish, and London and South Afncan ; but a reduction in Anglo- Portuguese.
