A convention has been proposed to Foreign governments to simplify the rates of foreign post age and expedite foreign mails." President Lincoln urges the early completion of the Pacific railroad, and recommends the favourable action of Congress on projects for enlarging the great canals in New York and Illinois. The military and commercial importance of enlarging the Illinois and Michigan canals is presented in a report to the Secretary of War. In accordance with the purpose expressed in the second paragraph of the emancipation proclama tion of September last, President Lincoln calls the attention of Congress to what may be called " com pensated emancipation." He then argues upon the impracticability of disunion, and says : "There is no line, straight or crooked, suitable for a national boundary upon which to divide. Our strife pertains to ourselves, to the passing figeriere boas of new, sod it west wail:oat eimaystiost bushed for ever with the passineof one generation." In this view the President recommends the adop tion of the following resolutions and articles amendatory to the Federal constitution : " Resolved by the Federal Congress two-thirds of both houses concurring that the following arti cles be proposed to the legislatures or conventions of the several States as amendments to the Federal constitution, all or any of which articles, when ratified by three-fourths of these legislatures or conventions, to be valid as part or parte of the constitution, . .

London : Lockwood and Co., 7, Statloneinhall-comt, Y.C. MR. DOULTON, M.P.. AND THE ELECTORS OP LA BETH. Mr. Doulton, the junior M.P. for Lambeth, met his constituents last evening, at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, on his own invitation, to address them as to the present state of public affairs, and his conduct and votes in parliament since his election. Mr. R. ELLINGTON was Galled to the chair, and having briefly introduced the business of the meeting, Mr. Doti:rots, M.P., who was warmly welcomed by a very crowded room, in the mine of his address ob served—He thought the time had arrived when the question should be seriously considered by the English government sod the English people whether Italy was to remain permanently a French province. (Hear, hese) The American civil war was deeply to be deplored, and be re gretted that no break yet appeared in the dark cloud that overshadowed the American continent. It was strange, however, that in this land of liberty, which had made such sacrifices to abolish slavery, sympathy should be anywhere expressed in favour of the Southern confederacy—the con federacy of slaveowners. (Cheers, and some disapproba- I tioa.) He believed the first reason was the insults that the North had heaped upon this country ; and the second bad something to do with material interests. Slavery had more to do with the civil war than many people imagined. But while the South openly avowed that the black man was an inferior being, and must be kept in bondage, unfortunately the North was totsound upon the question. Would to God they were, and bad placed their cause on principle rather than expediency. (Cheers.) Of this, however, there could be no question, 'bet if the South suc ceeded slavery would be strengthened and perpetuated. (Hear, hear.) Ile deprecated soy interference on the part of this country in the fratricidal quarrel, remarking that interference meant intervention, and intervention war. He made a feeling allusion to the distress in the cotton districts consequent upon that war, and spoke of the unexampled patience with which the Lancashire men had borne their distresses. As to the future he never pro phesied. He hoped to see a considerable reduction in the national expenditure, and a consequent reduction o: taxa tion. He knew not whether we were to have a Reform Bill —but be thought the Lancashire operatives had proved in their present conduct that the working times might be safely trusted with the franchise. He did not know whether the next was to be a sensation parlia ment, or that any attempt would be made to up set the present government. Looking at the present state of foreign politics. be considered it would be a great misfortune if Lord Palmerston were removed from office. It was true they had heard from Mr. Disraeli two or three speeches which would have done credit to the president of the Financial Reform Association ' • but when his sincerity came to be tested by Mr. Stane feld's motion, the right bon, gentleman rode off upon a quibble. In conclusion he declared that be would continue to act independently in parliament while they continued to him their confidence. In reply to Mr. HAYMAN, the hon. member expressed his readiness to vote for the abolition of the tax on all incomes under 1501. a year. Some other comparatively unimportant questions in re ference to weights and measures, metropolitan tolls, and the licensing system, having been asked and answered, Alderman W. LAWIIMCE moved a resolution of approval of the hoe. member's conduct and explanation, and of con. tinned confidseee in him, which wee seconded by Mr. E. Onorza, sad carried by acclamation. Atr. Doucrou acknowledged his thanks, and moved the lung compliment to the chairman, which concluded the preaselinp. 431111RAL PALACIL —ONE 111BILLIMG DAY.—Mos zur, Thea. lA—Maeinioos IS pgrnest. 325 ; ditto by mum tisk" 616; W 4 gii. .

Yesterday a deputation of magistrates of the City of London, headed by the Lard Mayor, had an inter view by appointment with Sir George Grey, at the Home office, in referee°e to the eidetic; state of the law applicable to the class of hardened criminals shod its administration. It should be stated that, on Friday last, a meeting of aldermen of the City of London, convened by the chief magistrate in pursuance of an order of reference made at their last court, was held at the Mansionlouse, to consider the present state of crime, and with the view to place them 'Merin communication with herlfejesty'sgovertunent on the subject. At that conference, which for the time w:a of a tart' and preliminary character. there were present the Mayor, M.P., Aldermen Challis (chairman of the gaol committee), Copeland, /L P., Wilson, Finials, Musgrove, Sidney, Cullen, Lawrence, J. C. Lawrence, Meek, Allen, Phillips, Gibbons, Dakin, and Begley ; Mr. D. W. Harvey, the City Commissioner of Police. Belem separating they "Resolved unanimously, that in the opinion of the magis trates of the City of Loudon the present systems of dealing with the criminal population of this country is defective, highly dangerous, and unsatisfactory, and therefore re qtures tmnalter asportios tion ; and that • recurrence to the punishment of is highl." The LORD MATOR having desirable read to Sir George Grey the preceding resolution. rid his brethren of the Court of Aldermen bad thoenitt it high time to auk for such an in terview, having regard to the lamentable inures of crime. I They had lately been at greet stems in reccostructing the glen el Newer, sod WI bialTh wlltln aft he few yaws a gaol at Holloway,which, on its completion, was supposed to be far in excess of the actual need, but both those prisons were now incoeveniently crowded. The ticket-of-leave system resulted from time to time in bringing many old offenders back upon the metropolis, a class of men who, being well known to the police, and branded, so to speak, bad few or no opportunities of obt-sin ' ing honest employment even if they desired it, and were therefore driven to resort to their old habits for subsistence. All attempts to reform criminals of the hardened class, and to punish them at the same time, had ever been beset with difficulty, and the magistrates of the City of London were now of opinion, after all the experience of past years that the only way of controlling this criminal element, and of ensuring the public safety. is by a recurrence to the old system of transportation, though that may be attended with some difficulty, inasmuch as the parts of the world open to the reception of the criminal population are not so many err so obvious as 30 or 40 years ago. Next to the great object to be attained—public safely—the %nestle') became very much one as regarded the expense which the criminal clams entailed upon the country, and on that ground also he thought the balance of opinion was in favour of a well-devised sys tem of transportation. That was the principal object the deputation had in view, and they had thought it possible the government would like to have their hands strengthened by an expression of opinion on the part of the nagistridee of the City of London on this vital question. Sir GEORGE GRIT said no doubt we at home were now suffering from the evil of which some of the colonies com plained when we transported our criminals there. The Ace of 1853 substituted shorter terms of penal servitude for terms of transportation, end the Act of 1857 substituting peed servitude for transportation, repealed the Act of 18153, so far as a judge hail power to award shorter terms of penal servitude, and enacted that the courts might sea ' tame offenders to the some long terms of penal tservituele es they had previously sentenced them to transportation. In other words, the Act of 1857 expressly provided that sentences of penal servitude, which by that of 1853 were dshort duration, should be fengtheoed, and under the pre visions of both these statutes, theiticket-of -leave system was established. He had determined some time ago to • appMnt a commission, composed of members of both Houses of Parliament, to inquire into the operation of those acts, sod especially as to the manner in which sentences passed under their authority were carried into effect. He thought an inquiry so conducted would elicit a grist deal of valuable information, and result in suggestious which would tend greatly to improve the present system. The operation of the act of 1853 formed the subject of inquiry by &parlia mentary committee in 1856, and the acted 1857 was the result of that inquiry. But after the experience of the last five years the operation of the latter act itself had be come a fit subject for inquiry. and he bad therefore given directions fora commissioagwhich would probably be issued OD Tuesday next. Alderman LIUMPHERT remarked upon the evils arising from a want of uniformity of sentence, some magistrates awarding six months' imprisonment and others two for the same species of offence. Sir GEOIIO2 GREY said that arose from having a variety of persons to administer the law. He himself had been bantered in the House of Commons as to the disparity of some of the decisions by the magistrates of the City of London, and ho had occasion to call the attention of the metropolitan police magistrates to the same incon venience. Coder the Criminal Justice Act they seemed to deal with offenders who ought rather to be committed for trial. He hardly believed that the punishment of permits guilty of robberies with violence came within the objects for which that act was passed. In reply to a question by Alderman SYDNEY, The RIGHT HON. GENTLEMAN further said the act of 1857, while substituting penal servitude for transportation, contained an express provision that sentences of penal servitude might be carried into effect in the penal rude- . ments of the crown, and since the act passed about 2,000 convicts had been sent to Western Anstralia. The operation of the act in that respect would be • included in the commission. As to the tickets et leave, they were colonial in the first instance. When it became necessary to restrict transportation the act of 1853 was pored, and all sentries, of transportation under 14 years were abolished. Then the ticket-of-leave was intro duced into England with regard to the class of convicts which had been previously subject to transportation, and between 1853 and 1857 it was confined to them. With re gard to sentences of penal servitude under the act of 1853 they were all carried out, there beingno claim to the ticket of-leave except in very rare care. He (Sir George Grey) established a scale of remission varying from oneetith ; but he also addressed a circular to every pule and every chair man of qoarter sessions, telling them distuictly bow the act was to be carried into effect. Alderman LAWRENCE said the great difficulty with respect to ticket-of-leave men was this : perhaps every member of the deputation was in some way connected will trade, yet probably none of them would take a ticket-of-leave roan into their serene if they knew it. Such men, therefore, inevitably became desperate and returned to their old associates end habits. Sir Gannon Geer said that feeling would exist towards criminals of that class whether they came out of prison in September, say with a ticket-of-leave, or in deanery, when their sentences expired. Alderman LAWRENCE said he was speaking of the more ruffianly class of convicts, asdistioct from men who had, for instance, robbed their masters, and for the! first time it might be—people who might become dangerous in times of great political excitement, and such as the present Em peror of the French in each time had deported to Cayenne. Sir GLOW& GRIT said it would be remembered that very strong objections were made in the Australian colonies to that class of convicts. The deputation must not look at the matter hum their point of view may, but must have regard to what is desirable inpenal colonies. Ilia LORD MAYOR was glad to bear that a commission was about to be limed, but what the deputation wanted to express most emphatically was, that in their opinion the only predicable remedy for the present state of things was a return to the system of transportation is some form or other. Sir Groack Geer said it was quite useless to attempt to transport men under short sentences—it could not be done ; and the great majority of rote-ion were short. That was one evil the government bad to coatAmd with, because even before transportation WAS abolished it was a common practice not to send abroad shorteentence men. They could only send abroad men physically able to undergo hard labour ; those that were otherwise were sent back. Alderman PHILLIPS asked whether over and above the OFFICIAL IN sPECTION OF THE METROPOLITAN commission about to be issued, anything could).* done to op- RAlLWAT.—Yesterday Colonel Yolland, the government in- pease the public mind ? specter of railway!, inspected th e whole length of this line.

" First —Every State wherein slavery now exists which shall abolish slavery at any time be fore January of the year 1900 shall receive the following compensation from the United States. Presidents of the United States shall deliver to every such State United States Bonds, bearing a certain interest, for each slave known to have been therein by the eighth United States census ; these bonds to be delivered to such State by instalments, or in one parcel at completion of abolishment, according as abolishment shall have been gradual or at one time. Any State introducing or tolerating slavery after having received these bonds shall refund the bonds and interest to the United States. "Second.—All slaves who have acquired freedom by the chances of war at any time before the end of the rebellion shall be for ever free. Loyal owners will, however, receive compensation. Congress may appropriate money and provide for colonising free negroes, with their consent, at places outside the United States." President Lincoln then enters into a long and earnest argument to prove that the adoption of these amendments to the constitution are politic on the grounds of justice, economy, and interest, and as a means which cannot fail to restore the Union. He, however, says that the plan is recom mended, not but that a restoration of the national authority would be accepted without its adoption. Nor would the war nor the emancipation proclama tion be stayed because of the recommendation of this plan, but Its - timely adoption would no doubt bring restoration, and thereby stay these proceedings. This plan would secure peace more speedily, and cost less than if force alone is relied upon. Many objections may present themselves, but the gime lion is can anything better be imagined or done 1 The message concludes by saying that other means may succeed, this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, and just ; a way which if followed the world will for ever applaud, and God must for ever bless. The message delivered by President Lincoln is moderate in tone towards the South, but firm for the maintenance of the Union. On foreign rela tions he says: " If the condition of foreign relations is less gra tifying than at former periods, it is certainly more satisfactory than a nation so unhappily distracted night have apprehended. In June last there were some grounds to expect that the maritime powers which, at the commencement of American difficulties, so unwisely and unnecessarily recognised the insurgents as belligerents, would soon recede from that position, which has proved only less in jurioua to themselves than to America. " But temporary reverses which afterwards betel the Federal arms, inawhielt were exaggerated by disloyal citizens abroad, have hitherto delayed that act of simple justice. "Civil war has disturbed the social conditions and deeply affected the prosperity of the nations with which America has carried on an increasing com merce during half a century. " It has at the same time excited political ambi- I Bona and apprehensions, which have produced pro found agitation throughout the civilised world. " In this unusual agitation America has forborne from taking part in any controversy between foreign States, and between parties or factions in such States. "America has attempted no propagandism and acknowledged no revolution, but has left to every nation the exclusive conduct and management of its own affairs. Foreign nations have, of coarse, con templated the American struggle less with refer ence to its own merits than to its supposed and often exaggerated effects, and the con sequences resulting to those nations themselves. Nevertheless, complaint on the part of the Federal government, even if it were just, would certainly be unwise." President Lincoln acknowledges with special pleasure that the execution of the slave-trade treaty by the British government has been marked with a jealous respect for the authority of the United States, and the right of their moral and loyal citi zens. The blockade of 3,000 miles of sea coast could not, he says, be established and vigorously enforced in a season of great commercial activity like the present without committing occasional mistakes, and inflicting unintentional injuries upon foreign nations and their subjects. " Civil war in a country where foreigners reside and carry on trade under treaty stipulations is necessarily fruitful of complaints of violation of neutral rights. " All such collisions tend to excite misapprehen sion, and possibly to produce mutual recriminations between nations which have a common interest in preserving peace and friendship. 4 1n clear cases of these kinds I have, so far as possible, heard and redressed the complaints pre sented by friendly powers. There are, however, a large and augmenting number of doubtful cases upon which the Federal government is unable to agree with the governments whose protection is demanded by the claimants. There are, moreover, many cases in which the United States or their citizens suffer wrongs from the naval or military autboritiesof foreign nations,which the governments of these States are not at once prepared to redress. I have proposed to some foreign States thus inte rested mutual conventions, to examine and adjust such complaints. This proposition has been made specially to England, France, Spain, and Prussia. In each case it has been kindly received, but not yet formally adopted." President Lincoln recommends an appropriation for the owners of the Norwegian barque Admiral Riola. • He says that commercial and consular treaties have been negotiated with Turkey, Liberia, and Hayti, and continues : "Our relations with European States remain undisturbed. Our relations with the independent States of the American continent remain un changed, but more friendly sentiments than have hitherto existed are believed to be entertained by these neighbours, whose safety and progress is so intimately connected with that of America. This statement specially applies to Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Peru, and Chili." " I have favoured the project of an Atlantic cable, and a similar project to extend the telegraph from San Francisco to connect by a Pacific telegraph with the wire which is being extended across the Russian Empire." The message recommends extraordinary measures to promote the development of the mineral regions of the United States territories, and continues : " Public expenditure for the suppression of the rebellion has been met with promptness, and public credit is fully maintained. The suspension of specie payments by the banks made a large issue of United States notes unavoidable. The judicious legislation of Congress making these notes a legal tender has made them the universal currency, and satisfied partially for the time the long felt want of a uniform circulating medium. A return to specie pay ments, however, at the earliest period compatible with due regard to all interests should ever be kept in view. Thebes% means to reduce the fluctuations in the value of the currency and insure its prompt con vertibility into coin, is to organise banking asso ciations under a general act of Congress. To such associations government might furnish circulating notes on the security of United States bonds depo sited in the Treasury. These notes being uniform in appearance and security, and convertible always into coin, would protect labour against the evils of a vicious currency, and facilitate commerce by . .

On reaching the vessel the surf was found to be tremendous, and enough to appal any man. The smack's boat bad been lost. so that the poor creatures had no mesas of rescue if the lifeboat failed to reach them.
