Foreign and oolonial railway securities are quiet, at the closing quotations of yesterday. A Court of Common Council wu convened for I Ibis monde& and the LOW) 'Lavoie harlot taken the chair, Mr. Remy Lowman Taylor rem for the purpose of oddness. tag hie lordship sad the court. After some diemusios se to whether Kr. Taylor or Mr. R. N. Phillips should address the court, and the former having been selected for that purpose, Yr. TAYLOR then mid he could have wished that the docisioa that the court bad wise to in giving him the preference to address them upon so :sorrowful • subject bad been of • different cha nt:seer. Nothing, he was sure, had more affected the minds of the cesium of Loadoo, and the public generally, theta the sad sad deplorable event that had been commani cated to this country from America, and the citizens of London, one sad all, he was slue, would deeply sym pathise with the American people in the deep calamity which had Willett them. He felt it right that this court, the reds: of the City of London, should take the earliest opportunity of evincing their deep 'rapidity with that deplorable sad sad event. Nothing, he said, could have taken them by greater surprise than the melancholy news which had reached them Ire of the death by amensinalloa of a man, who, he believed, 8%. bed always been actuated by the beet motives to do what ~1 1/ he could for the interest of his beloved country. (Hear, ; hear.) It us a subject on which be could dilate at n WSW length, but it would be sough to give totu• premion to the feeliop of the court in the words of • lo resolution he was shoot to propose. Mr. Taylor 10 concluded his remarks by putting the follow* rteo- 111 .. lotion :—" That this wart desires, before proceeding with ; the bushier of the day, to express its profound pa sympathy with the people of the United States of America N. in the lose sustained not GeV by them but by this country M. in the melancholy death of PreWent Lincoln by the M hand of on essamin, sod remembering that the lest sot of 94 ■ his life had been to breathe words of peso* and consolation, this court cannot but deeply deplore his untimely end r N. and further, " That • copy of this resolution, signed by the tows clerk. be forwarded to the American minister in as London, with a request that he will traasmit the seine he 84 the Secretary of State at Weehiegton, and to Mn.

PI He said it was quite nasecemary that he should use any as Lavoie to deprecate amassimition, as it was so re- N. uncut to the feelings of every Englishman; but in U. the present position of this country with the United States M. he could not but think that the pressat exprersioa of the LL court, which he was sure was then of everyone in the won ga try, would be of some good, and he sincerely . hoped that the American people would rewire it in the spirit that it was be tendered in. He thought they could not begin better than by 12; tendering their heartfelt sympathy with that country for the la deprivation which they have enetained by an act which L 0 could not be regarded by &equip with feelings oiler tz utter detestation. He concluded by eeeondicg the Indies. es. Mr. B. PHILLIPS said it would require but few wade from him to support the motion, as the subject bad M. boa dwelt upon is such • manner by Mr. Taylor sod Mr. Alderman sad Sheriff Begley. What had occurred m at the introduction of the 'abject, he was sure would be attributed to the saiiety of every member 8 a that no delay should be made in giving sumo- N skin to their feeliage, which were from one and all ft sympathy for the sad eclat alluded to, sad be was sure not R. only this court hut every citizen of London sod everyone in N the country wore 'gully desirous of upcoming their dotes tattoo and dieguM at sub • horrible atrocity, and of showing a to those who inhabit the United States of America, who 26 use the domeadants of those who left this musky origin- 04. ally to cultivate America, their deep sympathy in the de- m privation they sustained. 1 10 0 Some slight alteration wee made in the motion, and it was unaahnonay agreed to in the following terms :—" That a this corporation denim, before proceeding to the buil:sees a of the day, to express De profound sympathy with the United States of America is the Ices sustained in the death N. by masesiaation of Mr. Liassia, the President of the United to la States, sod to record its dessubstioa of the atrocious crime which has bests committed." 06 6 _ THE ASSASSINATION 01 ?EMINENT LINCOLN. 7; 8{ MEETING OF AIIERICANS.—('THIS DAY.) al This afternoon a meeting of American gentlemen was held at the Grosvenor Hotel, PiMiioo (convened by the Hen.

He said four and g ee e twenty hours ago he oould have congratulated them on the encouraging s4ns in the North American horizon ; but Ilk those few hears had brought intelligence of what was not IL merely a disaster to America, bat a disaster to the iatarsete of the whole human race. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) es. Whatever difference of opinion there might have been is this country with regard to the struggle which had been raging in America, everybody must folly and frankly admit that President Lisooln had shown an amount of Arrows, of forbearance, of moderation, and of practical wisdom which had seldom been exhibited by men in • simi positiou of dif f iculty or re sponsibility. (Hem, hear.) And if there was any element of consolation in connexion with an event so unexpected, so horritds, and so sad, it was that it had shown by touching am it had done the heed of all England that they sympathised with their brethren on the other side of the Atlantic, and that they looked upon them as forming with themselves one people, and as having the same interests in liberty and civilisation. (Loud cheers.) In the midst of circumstances so unlashed for, he certainly ought not to indulge in any predictions as to what the next three or four months might bring forth, but he sincerely hoped that good would come ont of apparently impending evil. (Hear, hear.) He then proceeded to speak of the traffic, and remarked that mace the oummenoement of January last, the gross amount of traffic was 321,0001. against 310,0001. The recent difficulties of the company hat been very closely connected with the American currency ; but in that respect there wee now a great improvement, and • prospect of further improvement. The increase of expens eswas un avoidable. INTERNATIONAL CONTRACT COMPANY I (LIMITRD).—(THIS DAY.)

The funds, after rising f per cent., are now quoted 1 better than they closed yesterday.

Illinois Central Railway shares are now quoted 72 to 74 ; Erie, 431 to 441; and 5-20 Bonds, 60 to 6L The Scottish Chief has arrived from Melbottrae with 19,000/. in gold. Fou o'Cloom. Consols are firmer, at 91 for money, and 91 to for the account. No bullion transactions have taken place at the Bank. About 40,000 sove reigns, however, have arrived from Egypt, and are expected to be retained here. Confining ourselves merely to the material considerations affecting our own interests, the removal of the heads of the United States go vernment at the present critical juncture is gene- rally regarded as a most lamentable event, it being believed that both the President and his chief adviser had arrived at a convic tion that America, to stop her bleeding wounds, needs all the rest they could possibly give her ; and it is hardly necessary to remark that this conviction would probably have led to the adoption of a con ciliatory policy, both at home and abroad. The extraordinary events now reported have raised to power a politician of Southern birth, who has lat terly committed himself to the expression of some very extreme opinions. Now that President Johnstone has been invested, however, with supreme authority, there is a disposition to hope that his views will undergo the necessary modification ; but, under any circumstances, the intelligence from America must for some time to come be looked for with extreme anxiety. The subscription for the new Mexican loan of 10,000,0001. has been closed in France. It is understood that the affair is not a success. The large sum of 306,0001. in gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday, including 200,000 sove reigns for Constantinople, 100,000 sovereigns for Antwerp, and 6,0001. in bars for Paris. The re mittance for Constantinople is said to be made to the Turkish government in connection with the project for the consolidation of the home debt. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Buchanan, Hamilton, and Co., China merchants, of Glasgow, who recently failed, took place in London yester day. The balance-sheet presented stated the direct liabilities of the firm and of their correspondents, Messrs. Jarvie, Thorburn, and Co., of Shanghae, and Hamilton, Gray, and Co., of Singapore, at 752,6881., and the assets at 632,0681. It was unani mously resolved to adjourn themeeting till the3rd of July next, with a view to ascertain the position of the corresponding houses. In the meantime the business is to be carried on under inspection, and it was understood that the banks and other credi tors in the United Kingdom will not send their bills abroad or take proceedings against the estate. Several creditors mentioned that if at the next meeting an offer of a composition be made, it would meet with favourable consideration. The meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company took place yesterday, when the directors' report, recommending the payment for the half year of a dividend of Si. 10e. per share out of the ordinary profits of the undertaking, and a bonus of 1/. per share from the insurance fund, both free of income tax, was adopted. At the meeting yesterday of the Commercial Bank Corporation of India and the East, a dividend was declared for the six months ending the 31st of December, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. The directors of the International Contract Company (Limited) have issued their first report and balance-sheet for the nine months ending the 31st of March. The results shown are of a sufficientlyremark able character. The statement of account shows a profit of 96,1211., and, deducting expendealses, amwitouh nt rgnceo 7,8431., the directors propose to the as follows : They recommend the payment of a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, amounting to 20,0001., inclusive of the interim dividend already paid ; they place to a reserve fund the large sum of 60,000/. ; and they further set apart 5,0001., in full discharge of the preliminary expenses ; while the balance is carried forward to next account.
