Om.—Afternoon, 6h. 30n-). 404*:: 13 SUal LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1865, Earl RUSSELL is determined to keep up the game to the last and show the world that the foreign policy of England has completely changed in tone and spirit. Nothing could have been worse than his reply last night on the subject of the prisoners in Abyssinia. According to the doctrines that he laid down, any foreign potentate or prince at a distance may imprison and ill-treat our countrymen with impunity. The days are past when the name of England was a sufficient shield to guarantee her sons from wrong and violence ; its glory has de parted and its virtue is extinguished. The most tame and faint hearted among the peacemongers cannot expect to surpass Earl RUSSELL in his harangue of last night. We are led to suppose, from the tenour of his speech, that nothing can in duce the noble earl to take up the subject in defence of our imprisoned fellow-subjects. Can anything be more unequal to the occasion or more unfitting to the demeanour of the Foreign Secretary of this great country than the language listened to by the House of Lords last night. Those best able to judge believe that if we were to send any mission to the King of ABYSSINIA he would probably im prison the persons composing it, with a view of forcing us to take his part against his rivals. We are come to something indeed if we are to be kept in terrorem by the King of ABYSSINIA. Time was when the greatest potentate dared not have done the thing that Earl RUSSELL coolly surmises as likely to take place. Imprisoning those who are sent on missions is a very unusual oc- It would seem as if the Abyssinians were to follow the example of President JOHNSON, and cast all scruples of conscience, consi derations of propriety, and claims of honour, to the currence. winds. It is not the question whether these prisoners were to blame in offending the suscepti bilities of the KING ; the question is, that the honour of England is at stake, if this state of things lasts. As Lord MALMESBURY truly stated last night, a consul does not stand in the rank of an ambassador, but he occupies an official position to which he is appointed by the Crown, and his person is always considered as sacred as that of an ambassador Lord MAL3IESBURY cited some cases, in which, when he was Foreign Secretary, he demanded com pensation for injuries sustained by her MA JESTY'S subjects at the hands of foreigners. Nothing can possibly excuse utter mismanagement of this affair ; from first to last there was an extra ordinary delay in answering the communication, and even a most culpable indifference prevails re specting the fate of the unhappy prisoners. It is quite disgraceful that such laxity should exist when vital interests are at stake, and the sooner the sub ject is considered the better. Let the constituencies look to it at the approaching elections, and let them not return those candidates who sue for peace at any cost of honour and interest. Such selfish and short-sighted policy will not suit the requirements of a mighty people, and the country will suffer in the end, besides being forced into expensive wars to rec over its position. Net gains of co mmerce, an d no flourishing condition at home, can com pensate for the want of pu b l i c spirit, and where that languishes, power and prospe rity will, in their turn, crumble away, but we might at least make it a metropolis worthy of the splendid dominions of the QUEEN. The hon, member conclude:l by moving that an address be presented to her MAJESTY, praying for the appoint ment of a commission to inquire into the subject of the lighting, paving, and cleansing of the metro polis. This motion was afterwards withdrawn, as Sir G. GREY did not think it desirable to press for a Commission. The right hon. baronet said that the present mode of dealing with the matter was most unsatisfactory, and that they were indebted to the hon. member for bringing it forward. It is to be hoped that due attention will be paid to the subject Suring the recess, and that next year something decisive will be done in the right direction, for sufficient time has been wasted already. Sir W. FRASER called attention last night to the state of the metropolis as regarded the paving, lighting, and cleansing. In this he was fully justi fied, and his remarks on the subject were very pertinent. Great improvement might with advan tage be made in this respect, and it seems strange that so little attention has been paid to the matter before now. Sir W. FRASER referred more parti cularly to the government of the districts of the me tropolis by district boards. The local boards have the paving, cleansing, and lighting of the metro polis entirely in their hands. Nothing could better have explained the necessity that exists for some change in this matter than the circumstance cited by the hon. baronet, that St. James's-street had one kind of pavement on one side and a different kind on the other. When people sought the cause of this anomaly, they were told that one side of the street was in one parish and the other in another parish quite distinct. This management is carried so far that in some cases it is possible to find streets in which there are five different descriptions of paving; and in one parish, where there are two leading thoroughfares, the vestrymen belonging to one are opposed to any improvement in the other, because they say that it would injure the traffic and custom of their own street. Surely a condition of things that allows such freaks and fancies to take place ought to be altered as speedily as possible. It is always a pity when any thing that materially affects the welfare and community is placed in the hands of a few preju diced and partial persons, instead of being entrusted to the direction of those who are above petty consi derations and not influenced by selfish motives. Sir W. FRASER also called the attention of the house to the manner in which the lighting of London was managed. The gas supplied was of the worst de scription, and the other arrangements were also incomplete and imperfect. As for the cleansing of the metropolis that also requires alteration, for this is left in the hands of the local board. Last winter there was a considerable fall of rain and snow, and yet no effort was made to remove the slush. Now that we have dry weather, the dust renders the streets almost intolerable to foot passengers. This dust is very injurious to those who imbibe it, which should certainly be an additional incentive to those who have authority to do all in their power to re move the great nuisance. Sir W. FRASER truly said that London was unlike any other city of an cient or modern times, for no others had their inha bitants so closely packed together. Many must agree with the hon. baronet in his desire to see this great capital of our country improved. We should emulate the French EMPEROR who boasted that he had beautified his metropolis. We could not hope to do in London what OCTAVIUS did at Rome. He found it brick and could not leave it marble. We are glad to find so sound and sensible a mea sure as the Partnership Amendment Bill has passed the second reading in the Upper House. There was a very animated debate in the Commons, when the measure was brought under discussion, and a strong feeling of opposition was manifested, thotigh the general sense of the House eventually carried the day. In the Lords, however, the subject was not very long under consideration, and the solitary dis sentient was answered by three advocates on the other side. Lord ST. LEONAItDS opposed the bill, both in principle and detail, and he went so far as to object in toto to the principle of limited liability, which he said was a dangerous thing, and had already affected the character of our trading. The noble lord's principal argument against the bill was in reality one directly in its favour. He said that if a man entered into trade he did so with a view to profit ; he gave to it his whole mind, time, and energies, and it was on this foundation of individual exertion that the prosperity of the country rested. He con sidered that a measure which permitted a participa tion in profits without any share in the personal exertions, which made the prosperity of trade, was most destructive to the trading credit of the country. But the existing law gives no sort of guarantee that every member of a firm shall give his whole time and energy to labour on its behalf. How often do we hear of sleeping partners, who, according to the present state of things, are equally liable with their more active coadjutors for the obligations of the firm. Lord ST. LEONARDS said that by this bill if a man sold half his business and reserved the other half, he would not share the liability as he ought in fairness to do, but would escape alto gether. But the noble lord objects to this question of " fairness" being applied. The other may, since if the limited liability principle is not to be adopted, one member of a firm or a company may escape entirely in a catastrophe while his partner is ruined. The one man's wealth and the other man's poverty, or the one's prudence and the other's improvidence, are all brought to the same dead level irrespective of the real claims upon them. The present law on the matter of partnership is, as Lord WESTBURY very truly said, most unjust and repugnant to the prin ciples of English legislation. The law, as con structed nearly a century back, decided that in any case where individuals shared the profits of an un dertaking they should be partners in the eye of the law, though they may have arrived at a contrary agreement between themselves. Great care has in other cases, observed Lord WESTBURY, been taken to prevent fraud, and a man's money or goods, if handed to a trader, were liable to be seized for that trader's debts, but that was a very different thing from making a man liable, not only to the full amount he had lent to a trader, but to the last farthing he had in the world. Under the ruling of Lord MANSFIELD, acted on by the judges, the law invented a contract which did not exist, and then made parties to that supposed contract liable for fulfilment of engagements which they had never intended to undertake." The consequence of such a construction of the law is that men resort to all sorts of quibbles and devices to evade the law. If a trader agree to give his creditor a share in the gross receipts of his trade the creditor escapes all liability, but if he gives him a share in the profits, the creditor becomes a partner and runs the risk of being answerable for the debts of the firm. There is another aspect in which the new measure is very advantageous. It will enable the widow and chil dren of a deceased partner to share the profits of the firm without increasing any dangerous liability, and it will also empower an employer to give a trustworthy clerk or foreman a share in the profits of his trade, which would form a powerful tic be tween employer and employed. The protection of the community against fraud will be the same as ever. There is no actual safeguard withdrawn, for every one knows that under the present arrange ments a creditor may claim the most ruinous in terest from an embarassed trader, interest which shall not only absorb all his profits but drain his resources, while, on the moment that bankruptcy is seen approaching, the exorbitant creditor may step in, withdraw his money, and leave the other sufferers to their fate. This drama is often played out in our commercial circles, and it is one of the strong arguments in favour of this measure that it will bring a better class of money-lenders into the field, and will en able the young merchant or embarrassed trader to obtain advances from capitalists willing to help him to a certain amount, but naturally reluctant to run the risk of sharing his liabilities. We are therefore glad to find the bill has got so far, and hope it will become law without substantial alteration. The subject which Sir F. SMITH pressed upon the attention of the House of Commons last evening is a very important one. It concerns so many thou sands of persons, it affects the peace and happiness of so many families, the lives of so many brave and useful men, and so large and increasing an amount of property, that we can only regret that Sir F. SMITH'S motion on the construction of harbours of refuge should have been defeated by a majority of twelve. It is very easy for the President of the Board of Trade, " sitting at home at ease," to declare that the shipping interest ought to share the expense of undertakings so beneficial to itself, and that harbours of refuge were not wanted, and very likely might not do so much good as was expected from them. The right hon. gentleman seems to prefer theory to practice, for he says that important changes have been lately made in the law which are likely to diminish the losses at sea ! Time and tide, says the old adage, wait for no man ; and it is certainly something new to learn that the elements hold themselves amenable to the changes of the law ! Mr. GIBSON thinks that all that is wanted to save life is the will on the part of those near the catastrophe ; for he thinks the alteration of the Salvage Laws and the bounties given for saving life " furnish the best means of securing the end which those who advocate the construction of Harbours of Refuge have in view." This is a most unfounded asser tion, and contains a most unwarrantable attack on the courage and humanity of the British sailor. The records of the Lifeboat Institution could tell a different story ; but there are cases where human aid is powerless ; and the natural dangers of our coasts in the winter tempests are such that no casual assistance can always avail. Harbours of refuge, it is evident, enable ships to seek a place of security before the worst comes, but it is a singular system of legislation to suffer ships to go to pieces and men's lives to be imperilled be cause the Salvage Laws will encourage exertions to save them. Sir F. SMITH'S facts were simply un answerable. Our list of wrecks and disasters in creases steadily with our increasing trade, and our aggregate loss of 8,000 lives and fifteen millions of property in ten years emphatically demands that public attention be at once directed to the practical consideration of a remedy. rumours."

Banquet at the . Mansion House to the Archbishops and Bishops. ----0-- Last night the Right llon. the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress entertained at the Mansion house a select company to meet the archbishops and bishops. The cloth having been removed, and the loving cup handed round with the usual ceremonies, grace was sung, and the usual loyal toasts were duly pro posed and responded to. The LORD MAYOR then expressed the satisfaction which lie felt at seeing so many archbishops and bishops present upon that occasion, and bore a high testimony to the eminent services rendered by the Archbishops of Canterbury and Armagh. He pro posed, " The Archbishops, the Bishops, and Pro sperity to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts." The toast was duly honoured. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY returned thanks. On behalf of the bishops and clergy, the most rev. prelate acknowledged with great satisfaction the annual welcome which they received at the hands of the Lord Mayor of the city of London. He hailed that welcome as a public recognition of the services rendered by the society, and as showing the high estimate which was formed of the institution on the part of the merchants of the city of London, based, no doubt, upon the services of missionaries in various quarters of the globe which, but for them, would have been without the means of grace. This was the natural tie between the society and the great centre of commerce, and he trusted that that tie might endure for ever. Whilst the Lord Mayor and his colleagues were prospering in business, he hoped that they would not omit to set aside a portion of their wealth for the service of God. He was glad that the Lord Mayor was no stranger to those influences which animated Chris tians in connection with these matters, and he had set an example which ought to be followed exten sively. He hoped that the result of the meeting would be to enable the society to extend its opera tions in many places which had not at present the advantage of its operations. The Archbishop of ARMAGH also returned thanks, and expressed his gratification at the two Churches of England and Ireland being united on such an occasion ; and he hoped that they might ever be a source of mutual strength to each other. The LORD MAYOR next gave " The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteer Corps." Admiral DRUMMOND returned thanks for the navy. Major ROSE, Alderman, M.P., returned thanks for the volunteer force, which he described as being in a high state of efficiency and prepared for any emergency. He expressed his gratification that at the present moment, instead of the fears Which led to the establishment of the volunteer force, they had a cordial understanding with our great ally, and the fleets of the two countries were about to effect an interchange of courtesies. The LORD MAYOR gave " The Bishops and the Clergy," coupled with " The health of the Bishop of London." The Bishop of LONDON returned thanks. He said he enjoyed these occasions, because he met many brethren whO were engaged in the arduous work of a missionary in foreign lands. However busy they might be at home, they must not forget what was going on abroad, where the work was still more difficult, and called for more self-denial than at home. The great society to which they had referred had added 47 bishops to the Church of England during our own memories, and by an old act all these colonial sees were supposed to be in some sense connected with and dependent upon the see of Lon don. (Hear, hear.) The first licence he had to issue was to a chaplain at Lima, in South America. The right rev. prelate resumed his seat amidst loud applause. Amongst the other toasts were, " The House of Lords," acknowledged by Lord Houghton ; " The House of Commons," acknowledged by Mr. Mow bray, M.P. ; " The Health of the Lord Mayor," proposed by the Archbishop of Armagh ; " The Health of the Colonial Bishops," acknowledged . by the Bishop of Brisbane ; "The Sheriffs and unpaid Magistrates of the City of London," acknowledged by Sir Robert Carden and Mr. Alderman and Sheriff D akin. _ The Lord Bishop of LONDON proposed " The Lady Mayoress," which was duly honoured and responded to by the Lord Mayor, and the proceed ings closed. The banquet was of a very superior order, pro vided by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, and Mr. Harker officiated with his usual ability as toastmaster. RAILWAYS. Cash. Acct.

Yesterday being the date fixed for the promulga tion of the results of the usual half-yearly examina tion at the Royal Military College, H.R.H. the Commander-in-Chief came down to be present at the ceremony. The gentlemen cadets, under the command of Colonel Halliwell, the Lieutenant- Governor, were drawn up in line in six divisions, with a detachment of Royal Engineers, under the command of Captain Hall, R.E., on the left, and a detachment of-dragoons, detailed from various corps for the service of the riding-school, on the right, under the riding master, Captain Ward. In front of and facing the cadets were the students of the Staff College ; the medals and whiskers of the latter scarcely giving the beholder the idea that these very old boys could be still in statu pupillari. At half-past ten precisely the Commander-in- Chief, attended by Colonel Tyrwhitt, his equerry, and accompanied by Lieutenant-General Sir harry Jones, K.C.8., the Governor of the College, Lieut.-General the Hon. James Scarlett, K.C.8., Major-General Forster, K.H., and Lieut.-General Sir John Pennefather, K.C.8., and the Duke of Manchester, appeared on the ground, and was re ceived with a royal salute. After a minute inspec tion, the cadets, engineers, and dragoons marched past in slow and quick time, and the cadets in double time. Several cadets were then called to the front and ordered to put the cadets through the manual platoon and bayonet exercise, as well as some bat talion drill. This part of the performance was very creditably gone through ; but the marching past, particularly in double time, was indifferent. Drill over, the cadets formed three sides of a square, and with beating hearts listened while Major-General Hamilton, Vice-President of the Council of Mili tary Education, read out the names of the suc cessful candidates. One hundred and forty eight cadets had competed for 35 commissions ; of the remaining 113 cadets, 103 were pronounced qualified for commissions by purchase, while only 10 failed altogether. The Duke of Cambridge then proceeded to the B company dining-hall, in order to investigate a very discreditable outrage which had been committed by the cadets the previous evening. It is difficult to ascertain the precise cir cumstances, but it would appear that a party of the cadets determined to have a carouse aftei tattoo, and assembled in the bath-room round certain jugs of claret for that purpose. The subaltern of the company going his round discovered the party, and as he saw no reason why the regulatio ns should be transgressed caused the wine to be seized. Some accounts say that the offenders took instant ven geance by mobbing and throwing water on the officer ; others, and we believe with more correctness, declare that they broke the windows of his quarters, in which be it remembered his wife was at the time. The Commander-in-Chief administered a severe lecture, pointing out how ungentlemanly, as well as insub ordinate, their conduct had been. He reminded his listeners that he had given them fair warning when, on a former occasion, they bad shown a similar mutinous disposition. This time, he assured them, he would deal severely with the offenders. In con elusion, he said that unless the ringleaders were given up he should withhold all commissions from the B company, and detain them at college into the bargain. if they gave up their ringleaders they alone, he announced, should be prevented from entering the army. This discreditable event is but the last of a series of periodical outbreaks which have brought disgrace on the once soldierlike repu tation of the Royal Military College. And the worse feature in the case is that the cadets have nothing whatever to complain of. Indeed, they are as little fettered by harassing regulations :as possible, and every possible exertion is made by the authorities to provide for their comfort and happiness. Some people even think that they are pampered, and that a little more severity would produce better results. They are provided with a smoking-room, canteen, billiard-room, reading-rooms, racket-courts, and gymnasium; fare luxuriously as regards food, and 'when not at study, on parade, or in their barrack rooms, do pretty nearly what they like. Neither are they mere children, for whom allowances could be made, but young men ranging from 17 to, in one or two cases, 22 and 23 years of age. The Duke of Cambridge has hitherto treated them with the greatest consideration and kindness, but is now driven to impress effectually on their minds that those who cannot submit to discipline are unfit to be entrusted with the care of enforcing it on others The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 11 per mille prn., and the short exchange on London is 25.10 per X 1 sterling. On aomparing, these rates with the English Mint price of £ 7s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold it at about the same price in London and Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per marl and the short exchange on London is 13.0 per X 1 stcrlin . Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cont. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills P 60 days' sight is about 249 per cent.

The Assassination of President Lincoln, The following, which we . extract from the Bermuda Royal Gazette of the 16th ult. (just come to hand), will be read with interest, as indicative of the kindly sympathy of the Bermudans for the American people upon the bereavement of the latter of their late humane ruler, President Lincoln, struck down by the dastardly hand of an assassin : The public meeting convened to expreSs and put upon record the indignation and horror felt in this community at the murder of the late President the United States was held on Thursday last at tho town hall at Hamilton, his Worship and Honour H. J. Tucker, mayor and member of her Majesty's Council, presiding. The meeting, which was most respectably attendcd,.would have been held many days sooner, but for the business of the Assize Court (a part of which, even then, had at the last to be adjourned by the Chief Justice expressly for the purpose), together with a succession of other accidental causes, small to men tion, but practically unavoidable. The proceedings were opened at about a quarter to 12 by the CHAIRMAN, who said that they all knew the purpose for which that meeting had been convened, and he would not detain them to urge views and feelings which were equally theirs and his and all men's. In ono sense, the public of these islands had already solemnly declared and evidenced in what light they regarded the foul and horrible act lately perpetrated at Washington. On the day of the President's funeral business had been to a great extent suspended in these islands, the flags had fallen to halfmast, the bells of the churches had tolled, the whole community had bowed its head in sorrow. But it would be well to leave a permanent record of the sentiments thus evinced, and add their voice to that of the whole civilised world. With the politics or the merits of the murdered Chief Magistrate it was no business of his to deal. He should feel it a kind of impertinence to open that question. They were met to protest against the monstrous precedent that a private individual had dared to make an attempt at es tablishing. He would confine himself to that. The gentle men present would have now the opportunity of freely speaking what they thought and felt. He begged to call upon her Majesty's Chief Justice for Bermuda. The Chief Justice read the first resolution as follows: " Resolved,—That in the opinion of this meeting, the re cent barbarous assassination of the late President of the United States of America, was an atrocious outrage upon all the principles of humanity and good government, and deserves to be met with the just indignation and fixed abhorrence of every peaceable and well ordered community." He said it would be absurd to labour the establishment of a proposition, which he well knew was already affirmed in the mind and the heart of every person present. The dreadful crime just committed was a blow struck at the very root of social order and against the first principles that gave security to human institutions everywhere, and rendered, ho would not say, progress, but even civilisation itself, possible. Let such deeds go unmarked by the de- testation of mankind, let them be tacitly encouraged or not loudly discouraged, and the world must be thrust back into a state of barbarism. The event concerned all nations. To be silent about it would be to take a deliberate step down towards the conditiori of savages. Happily he believed that we were not forced to live in terror, lest the like hor rible crime should ; be committed against our own Sove reign, yet whoever felt with him this consoling confidence must only be the more appalled and the more indignant in contemplating the enormous wickedness, by which a friendly, a kindred, a great and powerful people, had been suddenly deprived of their head. Every circumstance of the act aggravated the horror, of it. In the midst of the capital, in the midst of his people and his friends, in the centre and the heart of his family, on an occasion of rejoic-, ing, unsuspicious of any mischief, the first and highest per son of the powerful republic at our doors had been barba rously slain. He need not expatiate on such an event, and least of all before such an audience as he saw around him. He had adjourned the further hearing of causes in the Court of Assize, in order to attend this meeting, and having but a limited time to spare, he would not set an example of that prolixity, which he had already stated to be, in his opinion, out of place. He would move that the resolution which he had read be adopted by the meeting. The ATTORNEY-GENEBAL, in rising to second the re solution moved by the Chief Justice, observed that it would not be surprising, and was even desirable, that a character of sameness, and almost of iteration should mark the expressions of opinion elicited on such an oc casion. The circumstance which forcibly arrested at tention in considering the abominable crime by which the late American President had been taken from his place among men, was, in a human point of view, and it was only in its human aspects we wero now denouncing it, the relation which that crime bore not merely towards its im mediate victim, but towards 20 millions of a people in the very van and front of our race. Besides being a cruel and most atrocious murder, it was an affront, an insult, an out rage upon a whole nation, stricken.down in the person of their elected chief. It was their voice, their choice, twice pronounced, which had for a second time solemnly raised up to the most august dignity in their gift the man whom one individual had thus pulled down by the most nefarious and daring of assassinations. The deed was a parricide. The criminal, as far as in him lay, had attempted the very life of his country in thus killing its head. There was not a freeman in that free land that was not stricken by this hateful and terrible act. Wherever the news of this catastrophe penetrated, and as soon as it penetrated, the same instantaneous thrill of horror shot through all classes of civilised society. Probably at the very moment be was now speaking similar words were be ing uttered to assemblies trembling with the very same sentiments all through England. The duty which they discharged in that meeting to-day was ono of those acts which almost seemed superfluous, but the omission of which could not be endured. After a few more excellent and eloquent observations the learned Attorney-General concluded by seconding most cordially and earnestly the Chief Justice's resolution. His Honour G. SOMERS TUCKER, Speaker of the General Assembly, then proposed the second resolution, which was expressed in the following terms : Resolved—" That this meeting desires to express its sympathy with a neighbouring nation deprived by this outrage of the Chief Magistrate of its choice, and also to convey to the bereaved family and personal friends of flap late President Lincoln a heartfelt expression of condolence with them in their deep affliction." He felt sure there would bo no difficulty in persuading the gentlemen around him to indorse those sentiments. He confessed that he never in his life had felt more indig nant or more dismayed by any event than by this dreadful crime. In his opinion it was the very worst political mur der in all history. And why did he say this? Because there was a vast difference between killing a king who had come to his post through hereditary descent, however wrong and abominable murder always is and mr st be, and kill ing the representative of twenty millions of voters. Here was a man chosen, picked out deliberately by a whole na tion to preside over its affairs, and taken away from them by this sudden and atrocious act of .an individual. He must repeat that he know of nothing, in his mind, so bad in all history. It was not an ordinary murder nor even an ordi nary political murder. We were all hero supporters of re presentative institutions. And this act would tend to sub vert them. It had been said, and justly, that they had nothing to do at such a meeting with the differences of Americans among themselves, or with the conflicting esti mates arrived at on the subject of the various distinguished public men of that country. But this much he might say, that, besides the enormous aggravation of the offence in the present case, arising from the fact that the murdered man was not a mere king, or holding his place by a sort of acci dent, there was in the character of Mr. Lincoln himself much that made the act more enormous still. Who was he, and what kind of man was he? He was the elected—twice elected indeed—of a whole people ; and ho was carrying on their affairs with great ability, at all events to the best of his ability, and to their perfect satisfaction—a straightforward man, a moral man, a good husband, good in the various relations of life ; and this was the man who had been slaughtered in so shocking a manner. President Lincoln had been under-rated ; he was rising in public estimation when ho was assassinated ; and he wouli rise further still, and be still more highly estimated hereafter. Mr. Tucker had great satisfaction therefore in moving the second reso lution, which, he was sure, would be warmly received by the meeting. The Hon. MILES GERALD KEON (H. M. Colonial Secre tary) rose to second this resolution. After observing how much he felt the honour of having the support of such a resolution, and at such a meeting entrusted to his feeble advocacy, he said — I wish, Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—l wish to Heaven, that the crime the consideration of which has brought us together this day had no more than its political and moral bearings, dreadful as these are. Unhappily, it has its domestic aspect also. There is, at this moment, a home laid newly waste ; there are orphans now where the scions of a prosperous house lately rejoiced ; there is a poor dis tracted widow lady, in the decline of life, fleeing from man kind, fleeing from hope, turning away her face from com fort, and calling, even while I now speak to you, gentlemen —calling, calling upon the grave, as the only object of her desires. I wish to lay before the meeting a distinction which may seem at first sight thin, but which most completely and thoroughly severs the two propositions which it is intended to demarcate and divide. The distinction is this : the more wicked the act, and the more foolish and doltish the wickedness of the act, by which that lady has been bereaved, the greater must be her grief ; but not the greater her grief the more we deem the act wicked, the more wo deem it foolish and insensate. Our opinion of its guiltiness, and its motiveless guiltiness, cannot be greater or stronger than hers. But to find that mankind every where take the same view of it that she does, to find her self at unison with the great human family, to find that they feel oven as she feels, and that they press forward from every side to lift a portion of that burden under which she is lying crushed, must manifestly be an alleviation of her woe—some little solace—some assuagement, all that we can tender, all that we have to give. Let us then speak out on this occasion. Now, Mr. Chairman, there is one characteristic in this atrocious crime, which transcends even the atrocity itself ; I mean the unspeakable folly of it. The unfortunate and misguided man who perpetrated it professed to be actuated by two motives; but he betrayed a third. You have probably read the letter addressed by the wretch to some kinsman, shortly before the commission of this frightful murder. The two motives professed by him were love of liberty, and sympathy for the South—to whom, how ever, he never belonged. And, first, what does liberty gain by his act ? All history proves, gentlemen, that of those who have killed the men they denounced as tyrants, not one ever yet killed tyranny. They have (I was going to say generally, but I will say) invariably without fear of being belied by so much as a single instance to the contrary, only aggravated the despotism, which it was their professed desire to extinguish. Curiously enough, the very first re corded case, in civilised history, where a nation's liberties were overthrown, was the case in which the Chief Magistrate pretended that his life was in danger from as sassins, and begged his countrymen therefore to give him guards for his protection. The mere unsupported hint that such a danger to their ruler could exist made his country men surround his person with soldiers, who were at his orders„ and with everything which could render not only his existence safe, but his power formidable ; and forthwith these appliances, created by the mere thought that he was liable to be murdered, were used for the subversion of the people's freedom. Thus, gentlemen, fell under the feet of brute force the glorious privileges of Athens—for this is the story of Pisistratus. And if the mere shadow of inse curity, if the false pretext that a possibility of danger im pended over an illustrious people's Chief, led to this result, what must the proven and horrible reality tend to accom plish—what, I ask you, must be the effect, the natural, the logical and necessary effect of a doltish, demented crime, like that which I've are deploring ? If you want to make power truculent, suspicious, oppressive, savage, and san guinary—alarm it, frighten it ! Cruelty is but cowardice preventing what it fears? Why, a more fatal or ruinous disservice to liberty than this pretended service by a miserable assassin its worst enemies could not have devised or plotted. And is his act, I should like to know, one whit more advantageous to the South than to the cause of freedom ? Suppose, for argument's sake, that the late Abraham Lincoln and his successor, Mr. Andrew Johnson, had been rival candidates for the Presidency ; for which of them would the wretched assassin have voted ? Why, accord ing to his own maxims he not only would have voted in preference for Mr. Lincoln, but he would have actually slain Andrew Johnson, in order that Mr. Lincoln, rather than he, should fill the place and wield the power? Yet what has he done, the infatuated man ? For whose sake has he removed the unfortunate President ? For what sort of ruler, and for what sort of rule, has he, in truth and in real effect, given his bloody suffrage ? Be nefited the South indeed ! What have the South said to his work, gentlemen ? What did General Robert Lee say ? He said that he had "surrendered as much to the benignity of President Lincoln as to the cannon of General Grant." Those words, Mr. Chairman, ought to be engraven upon the tomb of the poor murdered President. Not all the in genrity of that most ingenious and gifted people among whom his shattered remains have just been interred could devise a nobler epitaph for their slaughtered President. I confess I do grieve, on every account, for this man, a moral man, a kind husband, a kind father, a genial man, a sincere man, respectable in all the relations of life— persevering in trials, modest in prosperity,—more and more moderate the more and more he was successful, and at the last showing himself to be as merciful and" magnanimous in the brief hour of victory as he had had been stern and unyielding in the long and weary days of conflict. We must not forget that his last thoughts were of peace and reconciliation ; these were the latest, the topmost buds of that blasted tree ; this was the crowning and culminating efflorescence of that labouring mind and storm-beaten career. Talk of monuments ! The grandest monument which his countrymen can raise to the memory of Abraham Lin coln will be the perpetuation, not the reversal, of his policy. And will they now take his life, I mean his life's life, the life of his intentions and designs, as they burned at the end with so pure a lustre—and by way of a monument, by way of honouring his memory—invert the torch over his grave? I hopo not. This wretched assassin, it seems, was seeking for fame :—then let him find infamy. He hoped to hear rising over his act the mans of a morbid admiration : let him listen to the shouts of your abhorrence, mingling themselves with the execrations of the whole civilised world. He expected to be crowned with the wreaths and garlands of a false and spurious 'romance—let him, then, for the terror of the like of him, be smitten with the indelible brand of universal reprobation. This avowal of your principles and feelings is the solace which you can send into the distant house of mourning and home of de solation. It is a comfort, Mr. Chairman, to share in any demonstration which can have such an effect. After this speech, which was most warmly received, The Hon. N. T. BITTTERFIELD, Assistant-Judge and member of Council, rosy to move tho third resolution as follows : Resolved—" That the chairman be requested to take the proper measures for transmitting to the United States of America the two resolutions which have been adopted by this meeting." The few earnest and cordial words in which Mr. But terfield invited the meeting to adopt this resolution were followed by a short, but feeling and impressive speech from the Hon. A. Ewing, the late Speaker of the General As sembly, who seconded the motion. The fourth resolution:— " Resolved—That the thanks of the meeting be tendered to his honour the Mayor of Hamilton, for his kindness in convening the present meeting, and presiding thereat," was moved by the Worshipful Wm. H. GOSLING, M.C.P., who said he knew no occurrence in all history which paral leled the murder of Mr. Lincoln. It was approached in some of its incidents, but truly in some only, by the assas sination of the Regent Murray, at Linlithgow, in Scotland, in the 16th century. Dr. BUTTERFIELD having seconded the resolution, the business of the meeting was now over, and it separated. STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, June 13.—For all kinds of ship ping yarns we have had a very strong and active market, and in consequence of the demand spinners have been enabled to command the extreme prices asked. Business closed with an upward tendency in prices. Home trade yarns were steady. The demand embraced all descriptions pretty generally, but the business was only of a retail character. The cloth-market shows a little improvement. Mer chants connected with the India trade seem, after a long pause, somewhat more disposed to activity. The inquiry has been very general for India shirt ings, and for nearly all kinds of fabrics suited to the markets of the East, but the actual offers made have been at exteedingly low prices--at prices, indeed, which preclude possibility of business with the higher rates for the cotton and yarn which manufacturers now have to submit to. The ex pense of production for cloths has lately been continually increasing, and besides the high prices which manufacturers have to give for yarns they find no difficulty in supplying their wants, from the scarcity of them. They have, therefore, not at all been able to meet the buyers at acceptable prices to-day, and the trans actions on India account have been small. The finer classes of good suitable for America, and also print ing cloths, have been in good demand to-day, and a very fair business in them has been done at prices showing some improvement on the rates of last week. LEEDS, 13th.—For a Tuesday's market there has been a fair business done in the cloth-halls this morning, and in prices and the general state of the trade everything was satisfactory. Goods for the winter trade are a little more inquired for, but the present very fine weather checks rather4 o than facilitates the demand for heavy fabrics. Good ordi nary cloths sell steadily, as well for export as for home consumption, and the manufacturers of such are well employed ; indeed, most branches of the woollen trade of this borough and the surrounding district are enjoying an average amount of prosperity, and the prospects for the closing part of the year are bright. Wools, whether colonial or English, command the full rates of last week. NOTTINGHAM, 13th.—At our Exchange-hall to-day there was a fair attendance. The demand for lace yarns was tolerably good, and an advance on last week's prices was asked. Medium numbers were 2d. to 3d., and fine ditto 6d. per lb. higher, and spinners were not anxious to take orders at the ad vance. For hosiery yarns a steady demand took place, and prices tended upwards. Spun silks 6d. per lb. dearer; other descriptions of silk also higher. For brown nets the demand was limited, and prices for the most part were much the same as last week. ROCHDALE, 12th.—There has been more anima tion in the flannel market to-day, and generally a somewhat better tone prevails throughout the trade. Both plain and fancy goods are in request, but the latter kind more especially. It is admitted on all hands that the extent to which the existing dearness of the woollen produce of this district militates against a stronger demand can scarcely be exagge rated. All orders are given out and all purchases made with reluctance, but still at the present mo ment there is almost an average consumption. Manufacturers are most resolute in their adherence to the current price -lists, declaring that, even ac cording to them, they have the merest margin of profit in consequence of the high price of the raw material, which does not seem likely to be affected by the influx shortly of fresh stock arising from the -iew clip. Yorkshire woollens were in better demand ,o-day, but the average is much below what it was I a year since. (Mat Oren HER MAJESTY. --A BALMORAL, June 11.

Mr. and Mrs. German Reed's Entertainment, In addition to the peculiar attractions of the Royal Gallery of Illustration, in themselves quit e sufficient to insure highly delighted and overflowing audiences, Mr. John Parry last night introduce& for the first time, an additional en t er t a inment' entitled " Recollections, Vocal and Instrumental,' , from his note-book, which must add considerably to the pleasure derived from the acting of the three admirable artistes which renders this place of amusement so fashionably frequented. Mr. John. Parry's play of feature, mobility of expression, and accurate appreciation of the ridiculous, his versa tality of talent, his adaptation, or rather appropria tion, of every shade and phase of peculiarity, Were never more amusingly displayed than in his illustra tions of the Musical Sisters' different styles of pig' ing. The ease with which he personates the most different and opposite individuals is quite astonish' ing, and when from an Italian maestro he meta morphosed himself into his soprano pupil, and sub: sequently into an English school girl, and hammere d forth the Guaxacha Dance so well known to begin ners and their unfortunate instructors in music, a nd bound up with "Di Tanti Palpiti," arranged with the most curprising skill in discord. The audience was positively convulsed with laughter. But per haps the climax of his success was when, in illustrat ing how great events sometimes arise from trifling causes, he exhibited the total discomfiture of a sue' cessful singer when in the height of his triumph h e had the misfortune to strike a nail in the stage with his toe. The most agreeable' recollection" f o r us,. however, is, that the peculiar attractions of Mr.fanc t Mrs. German Reed and Mr. John Parry are inex" haustible, and that deep in the recesses of Mr: Parry's fertile brain there still remains an abundant store of those " recollections " of his which he S c/ amusingly communicates to the public.
