(Applause.) When. the news first arrived in the country so improbable did it appear that so great and able a man as the late President of the United States should have been deprived of life by the hands of an assassin, and at such a momentous period of his cou n t r y' s hi s t ory, that people at first refused to believe the intelli gence until the subsequent telegrams confirmed the sad news. (Applause.) They now knew but too well Abraham Lincoln no longer lived to assist by his wise counsels and advice in guiding and direct ing the affairs of his country through the perils with which she had during the last four 'years been sur rounded, and from which she was just on the very eve of emerging. (Cheers.) As soon as he heard the melancholy and painful intelligence he felt it his - , tx-stonee to convene the meeting for the pur pose of giving his fellow-townsmen an opportunity not only of expressing their horror and indignation .—(applause)—that Abraham Lincoln had been de prived of life by the hands of a cowardly assassin, but also of giving them an opportunity of moving and forwarding aresolution of sympathy and con doleuce to the people of the United States, express ina their deep regret for the horrible loss which they had sustained. (Applause.) Whatever the opi nions of the people of this country might be, whe kiti lilier sympathising with - the North or with th e • South, Abraham LinColn had gained the respect and esteem of Englishmen for his straightfor-. i ward honesty, industfy, and 'great firmness of .purpose—(cheers)—and for his great firmness of purpose in carrying out what he believed to be right, and, above all, for his constant advocacy of a policy of conciliation towards this country, and at all times endeavouring as much las possible to pre serve friendly relations with England. (Cheers.) They knew that =there was but one feeling through ont the length and breadth of the land, and that was. a feeling of indignation that he should have been deprived ,of life at the hands of an assassin. (Applause.) He would not detain them longer with remarks of his own, but would submit a reso lution for their approval, which would be seconded by Mr. Jaffray. The resolution was : That this meeting desires to express the deepest regret Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlb Drough-street.

A SerlesCo 'Papers- relative to Quacks, which appeared in ,the " slediciilCfoular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet The realer of " Punch" ssould read this pamphlet also. He has of ten read, in.the pages of "Puuqh," of certain Quacks, frau 'dulerit and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young -men.. For their names, 'which " Punch" would not. advertise,• he has referred his readers to the lower corner. of 'the advertisinz columns of .low newspapers, amongst which too nia4 - of Mr. '• Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country,:may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these thiscreants, with 'copies' of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, n, edtat to be known, will •be found in the pamphl t above kettired to, which is entitled "Revelatiuns of Quacks an I Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular " Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The•vile 'practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, : and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the 'mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to' ,the•causation of suicide, are luny set forth in "Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark espec'ally that, as nforesdid, .the names of the Quacks are publishel. The pamphlet in ' question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, '.13, consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you,. whit e they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large. '" Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means 7" Consider what it is to be able to answer this question of the - young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, tf far .no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery, ' by Detector.—Punch, April 12. nANTERBITRY HALL, CA The Oxford, and Canterbury Hall Company (limited). • HODGE PODGE, (According to Act of Parliament)._ CANTERBURY HALL.—.EVERY EVENING at hall-past Nine o'clock.

(Cheers.) - Mr: jAFFRAY, in seconding 'the resolution, said that a debt of gratitude was due to the mayor for affording the town over which he presided an oppor tdnity 'of sencliiag across the Atlantic a resolution of sympathy witb their fellon men—their brethren in laws, language, and blooV—in the midst of the great calamity which had befallen them. (Cheers.) It was fitting at such a r time as that, when no ques tion of sympathy with North or South was involved, when it was a . question of civilisation and humanity altogether—(applause) —that anything savouring of party expression or feeling should be excluded alto gether from the proceedings. The time might come when those who agreed with him in the views he held of the struggle across the Atlantic might consider it their duty to express their feeling of delight that the horrible war had been put an end to. Their duty was, however, a more solemn one on that occasion ; it was that of sending out the unanimous expression of their horror at the great crime which had been committed ; aye, and com mitted in the much-abused name of liberty--(loud applause)—and of their sympathy with a people emerging from one of the greatest calamities that ever fell upon a nation, complicated by having at the moment--the supreme moment, as it were, of its history—the directing head struck down before them by an assassin's hand. (Loud applause.) There might be differences of opinion, and there were, respecting the character of Abraham Lincoln, but in his opinion history would record of him that he was a great statesman. (Applause.) Let them just think of the circumstances under which he was called to occupy the position of Chief Magistrate of that great nation over which he presided for four years. A man of humble birth, of scanty education, of little political experience, with no courtly man ners, and plunged at the moment of his election into the struggles of a contest gigantic not only in its proportions, but in its results, and throughout all that contest preserving his humble attitude and his pure heart, never elated in the hour of triumph, and firm, yet temperate, in the day of defeat. (Cheers.) But the last and crowning glory of all was the lat ter period of Abraham Lincoln's life. It was that which had won for him the affection and respect of all men, whether partisans of North or South. Stanton said of Lincoln, in the touching and simple despatch to the American Legation in England, in his later moments he spoke kindly of Lee--(cheers) —and all his thoughts tended towards conciliation. There was something of the fine old Puritan in that frame of mind. (Loud applause.) The moment Lee laid down his arms and declared the game had been played out, Lincoln's thought was not of humiliat ing him as an enemy, but receiving him back within the pale of the Constitution as an erring brother. (Applause.) Could any one doubt that a man like that, dying with such thoughts in his breast, was worthy of the admiration and respect of universal humanity ? Under these circumstances he came be- fore them—on his first appearance to speak in a town-hall meeting—to express on behalf of those whom he had consulted in the matter their earnest sympathy for the American people under the great calamity, and their utter detestation and abhor rence of the manner in which the freedom of access to their statesmen had been abused. (Cheers.) There was one word more he had to say, and it was a word of caution. At the early part of the struggle there was no man more denounced than Abraham Lin- coin, but they were premature in their judg- ment. At the present time, according to the Con stitution, the Vice-President, Andrew Johnson, had succeeded to the Presidential chair. Little was known of him ; he hoped, therefore, that until they knew more all expressions of opinion as to his fit ness for the discharge of the duties of his high office would be suspended. The resolution was carried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. DALE moved, and Mr. Alderman HAWKES seconded, a resolution expressive of deep regret at the attempt made on the life of Mr. Seward, and of hope for his recovery. This was carried. It was also resolved that an address be framed, and the Mayor was requested to transmit copies of it to Mr. Stanton and to Mr. Adams, the American Minister in London. 4. . + ... . .0 .. .. - . , 3,1 ( 31 4.4='....V....i1,:,..6 71' -4) , (e., ,'-, = _ 4 ., 5 , fs -21 ' , (fhb ' =2,......i.

The gentlemen who spoke in addresses of sympathy in support of the following resolutions, were Mr. John Rand, the Rev. J. P. Chown, Mr. Charles Hardy (brother to Mr. Gathorne Hardy, M.P.), Mr. Win. Byles, the Rev. Dr. Campbell, and Mr. William Rand : 1-41 a S and with his knife deeply wounded Mr. Seward's face and throat. • Closing with Mr. Frederick Seward (the Assistant-Secretary of State, and eldest son to the sufferer), the ruffian dealt him a blow upon the head which fractured his skull in two places, and has probably terminated Mr. Frederick Seward's earthly career. Almost simultaneouS he poniarded a male nurse in attendance upon Mr. Seward, in flicting wounds since pronounced to be mortal. Upon Major Seward (another son, if I am not mis taken, of the Secretary of State) the miscreant in flicted injuries which, though not likely to be fatal, effectually prevented any further interference with his own escape from under a roof which had looked down within a few seconds upon the grim horrors iof a fourf o ld assass i nat i on. Mounting his horse ! outside the door he saved himself, like his associate, by swift flight, and up to the present hour both have escaped detection and capture. The public voice seems unanimous in pronouncing the assassin of President Lincoln to be an actor named Wilkes Booth (the brother, of - the more celebrated Edwin Booth, who has latelYwon hif,Threputation in this city by his admir able'impersonation for 100 nights of Hamlet) whose face, it is asserted, was recognised by many sEectptors acquainted with him. As I write, revelations, flashed along the electric wires, indicating the existence of a preconcerted conspiracy, in which Wilkes Booth was a principal, and which was designed to have taken effect on the 4th of March, are pla carded at the corners of the street, and devoured by thousands of hungry eyes. The feeling with which the brief record "Abraham Lincoln expired at 22 minutes past 7 this morning" is read may be con ceived by those of your readers who are acquainted with the character and temperament of Americans. How shall I describe the scene which already New York presents ? There is, as I have already said, no -it. - 3k) " 1.

It was mentioned to me by one of the Southern Peace Commissioners that at the recent conference in Hampton Roads he was deeply impressed by the ascendancy of Mr. Lincoln through out the interview over Mr. Seward. The flags at half-mast, the festoons of crape hung out by each store in succession, and already creeping along the whole length of Broadway upon either side of the street, the eager closing of shutters and suspension of business in Wall-street, the feverish bewilderment of thousands who can as yet but half realise the truth, the agitated swaying to and fro of hurrying multitudes in the streets, the frenzied accents of grief and' rage, the tolling bells, the deep boom of the minute guns, are fitting expressions of the pub lic grief, for they indicate not only the lamentation that a just, temperate, calm, and well-intentioned statesman has died in the track of duty by the most appalling of deaths, but that in one of the most awful of crises which ever overtook a nation his successor' should be Andrew Johnson. that ( undar ,a. _ .stained at so a period of their national history, and their- earnest hope that all cliculties connected with that loss maybe happily snrinounted." , NE*6ASTLELON 2 fYINE.

Or was there ever nation so sensitively plagtic fo the impress of great national sentiments as the keenly sentient, mercurial, quick witted population which, in wild bewilderment, surges and sways throng the thronging streets now under my gaze ? Last night the people of this great city went to bed, lulled by their cheerful optimism, reckoning of the rebellion as already a thing of the past, little heeding difficulties, social, financial, and economical, which might well make a statesman stand aghast, believing that Abraham Lincoln and William 11. Seward were the chief apostles of the revived American Union, which is described in a work recently published as synony mous with the new Heaven and the new Earth. This morning they woke to the stunning conscious ness that in the night the shadow of a great and ghastly crime had passed over the land; that assassi nation, sudden and unlooked for, executed with remorseless cruelty, but intrepid effrontery, had engraven its hideous tale upon that page which records four years of horrors without parallel, cul minating in the abhorred crime which has added to the victims of this war the names of Abraham Lincoln, and, as seems too probable, of William H. Seward. A thousand American cities, linked together by a network of lightning, have this morning awakened to the simultaneous knowledge that he who 12 hours ago was their first citizen, the chief architect of their fabric of a resuscitated Union, the figure-head round which clustered their hopes and pride, is numbered with the dead. Al ready over hundreds of thousands of square miles is every particular and detail of the rash and bloody deed of last night scrutinised by millions of eager eyes. It is believed that precisely at the same hour two ruffians, manifestly in concert with each other, lifted their hands against the two most valued lives of the Republican party—that upon the night of Good Friday Abraham Lincoln was stricken with his death-wound in his private box at Ford's Theatre ; that the small pocket pistol which launched the fatal bullet was found, still smoking, on the floor of the box ; that the undaunted assassin, having entered the box from the rear, stretched his hand over Mrs. Lincoln's shoulder until the muzzle of his pistol almost touched the President's head ; that the bullet, designedly (as it would seem) propelled by a small charge of powder, did not pass through the head, but lodged in the brain about three inches from its point of entrance ; that the ruffian who fired it, rescuing himself without difficulty from Col. Parker, of General Grant's Staff, who was in the box with Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln, calmly stepped from the private box upon the stage ; that, brand ishing with melodramatic gesture a naked dagger in his hand, he pronounced the well-known motto of the State of Virginia, "Sic semper tyrannis," in ap parent justification of a deed against the atrocity of which all that is noble and manly in that proud old State will recoil with indignant execration ; that, turning with unruffled imperturbability, he left the stage and made his exit from the theatre by one of the side scenes with which he seemed familiar, and, mounting a horse which was attached to a tree in the immediate neighbourhood of the theatre, gal loped swiftly off into the night, and was lost. But it was reserved for his accomplice to exhibit still more undaunted nerve, although wherever this tale is read humanity will shudder at the heartless cruelty which could instigate an assassin to force his way to the bedside of a suffering old man already, half dead, and to anticipate by a savage act of vin_ dictive butchery the fatal event whereby Mr. Se ward's life seemed yesterday but too gravely menaced. It, must be remembered that Mr. Seward i s 65 years old, and it would appear there are justi fiable grounds for the general belief that the suf ferer, if ever he arose from his sick bed again, could scarcely have recovered, even without the horrible events of last night, from a fracture of the arm and jawbone, and from the exhaustion which is known to have followed his accident, without a sensible abatement of those singular powers, physical and mental, which have enabled him during these last four years to flood every European Foreign office with a deluge of despatches such as never issued in like space of time from any single pen. Boldly entering Mr. Seward's residence under the pretext of being the bearer of some important medicine which Dr. Verdi designed for his patient, the assassin, undeterred by three men who attempted to interpose, forced a road to his victim's bedside, Dreadful as is the fashion of death, if ever man was felix opportunitate mortis that man may be pro nounced to be Abraham Lincoln. The difficulties which he has surmounted during the first term of office, stupendous as they have been, are features, trifles, air bubbles when compared with those which await his successor during the four coming years. But there can hardly be two opinions that in the interest of the South no event could be more pre judicial, or more deeply to be deprecate'', than the foul assassination of last night. There breathes no where in the Northern States a partisan so blinded by sectional passion, nor so exasperated against Se cessia as to imagine that the execrable crime of which Washington was last night the scene could be regarded by 'Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and the men who share their confidence, otherwise than with unmeasured detestation and poignant regret. This is not the place nor the moment for attempting to expatiate upon the character of Mr. Davis. But having long occupied a position which afforded pe culiar facilities for understanding him, I cannot for bear briefly saying that, be his faults what they may, the time is not far distant when history will mete out to Mr. Davis that justice which is at present denied to him not only, as is natural by Northerners, but by many of his own ignorant and ungrateful country.. men. Meantime the natural vindictiveness, conse quent upon the fearful crime of last night, vill be em ployed to intensify Northern bitterness against Mr. Davis. There is already a disposition to draw a line of demarcation between him and General Lee, which none would resent more than the latter. The advocates of harshness will be fearfully augmented by the crime of last night, against which Mr. Davis, whose leniency throughout this war has amounted to a weakness, and who under terrible provoca tion has never committed one act of retaliation, would revolt with unutterable horror. The denun ciations of General Grant for his liberal terms to the Confederates who surrendered to him will be fiercer than ever, especially those which proceed from Gen. - Butler, and which are embittered with obvious per sonal malignity against the General. It has always seemed to me that the surrender of General Lee and the opportunity for generosity so admirably seized by General Grant bridged over the gulf which divides the two sections to a degree which none could have hoped two months ago. But the bullet of a dastardly assassin has in one instant neutralised the effect of the great stride towards conciliation so happily taken by General Grant. CONSTANCE KENT'S CONFESSION.—That Con stance Kent had made no communication to her family of her intention to charge herself with the murder is pretty clearly demonstrated by the following incident :—Mr. Kent, who resides near Llangollen, visited Oswestry on Wednesday, and his conversation impressed the first per son on whom ho called with the idea that he was much more cheerful than usual. Ile made an appointment to call again, but failed to keep it. About two o'clock he was at the Cambrian Railway Station, and there purchased a newspaper, which first acquainted him with theßow-street proceedings. Temporarily paralysed, his first impulse seemed to be to hide himself from human observation, and rushing up the main street he entered the Wynnstay Arm Hotel, where he ordered a carriage, in which he imme diately started for his home. 4* , , 4_44,,,..„/0. said, no city upon earth permeated by nerves of In compya nc'e with a ntureyousl,.FEignori rev* Tr ,11 ,,_.844 , *1.4a- .. bKat,,at,, Al t a,- • 111.. 1,7- , -- - 7 1 1 6. tion,' - the inay74. of - this borough.' has convened' a , - inSst of - popular - fever, 'Carrying s • , ••otlfalensa, - -7. public meeting of the inhabitants,; to be held on - 'tion through a dense mass of human r :•gwhich Monday evening next, ~,,; to express their horror and „in any other capital 1 have ever seen w• . take :'t regret at the assassination of the President of the - hours to learn and understand what is here I . • :Wp United Statefi, their sympathy with the .people of felt, and iiiiikiefattid in a few passionate secon - 4. 4 --.,....,A6g, ;hat country undar , a loss sust a i ne d a t BO critical a In a hundred in0,•,,,A0 „I-4 41...

How are the ad vances secured, and are losses often incurred by the len der ?" The following are extracts from the official re _ ADRIANOPLE.—Mr. Vich-Consul Blunt :—" Farmers quite frequently borrow money upon their crops. The or dinary rate of interest is 2 per cent. a-month (24 per cent. per annum), and even higher than that. Often the money is secured by other responsible persons becoming security, and by pledges of personal property. Losses are seldom incurred by the lenders." ARTA. 2 -Mr. Acting-Consul Caravias:--" The common rate of interest is 2 per cent. a-month. Such loans or ad vances are always secured on the crop, and losses are rarely incurred by the lenders." CAVALIA.—Mr. Vice-Consul Maling :—" From 15 to 30 per cent. are the rates of interest charged by merchants; the crop being pledged for the advanees, and the security valid, losses are seldom incurred. Money-lenders charge the peasantry 5 to 7 per cent. per month, and realise in this way enormous gains." CONS TANTINOPLE.—Mr. Consul-General Cumber bach :—" A farmer who requires money to carry on his pursuits, sells his produce before he realises it at a certain price, which is always much below what he could obtain for it in the market; and thereby loses on an average from 20 to 80 per cent., the usurer taking care, by giving him self a very large margin, to secure himself against even tualities." CYPRUS.—Mr. Vice-Consul White :—" The custom of borrowing money in anticipation of the crops is common. The rate of interest varies from 12 to 20 per cent. ; few losses are incurred." _ _ DARDANELLES,—Mr. Acting-Consul Raby :—" Far mers commonly borrow money in anticipation, and on security of their crops, 15 and even 25 per cent. interest being charged for a few months. The lender very seldom incurs any losses." DIARBEICHR.—Mr. Consul Taylor:—Capitalists ad vance money on the crops, charging 2 to 3 per cent. inte rest per month ; losses are rare." GALLIPOLI—Mr. Acting Vice-Consul Whitaker : " As a rule the farmers in this province all borrow money on their crops ; even those who are wealthy, and have gold hoarded up, will borrow to defray the expenses of cultiva tion, rather than encroach upon their treasure. The rate of interest is generally 20 per cent., and the farmers are very well pleased to borrow at this rate. Losses must be very rare, as I have never either experienced or heard of others suffering any." JANINA.-11r. Vice-Consul Stuart :—'• Interest is 2j, 3, and 4 per per cent a month. The advances are always secured upon the crops, and losses are but rarely incurred by the lenders." SALONICA.—Mr. Consul Wilkinson :—" Farmers bor row money in anticipation of their crops. The rate of in terest usually charged is seldom loss than 20 per cent." SAYADA.—Mr. Consul Zarb :—" Money is lent to the cultivators at the rate of 5 per cent. per month the ad vances are always secured on the crops, and losses by the lenders are very rare." SMYRNA.—kr. Consul Blunt :—" The native cultiva tors always require advances in anticipation of their crops, at a nominal rate of interest, say 11 to 2 per cent. per mouth, but it is actually more. The title deeds of the farm are transferred to tho Turkish Court under the title of Istilall, or mortgage." TRIPOLI.—Mr. Consul-General Herman :—" Almost the totality of them (the merchants) derive their chief sources of profit from lending money on pledges, on which they levy a rate of interest of 4 to 6 per cent. per month (48 to 72 per cent. per annum), and sometimes more." VOL o.—Mr. Vice-Consul Suter.—"Loans to the growers are secured by pledging the produce, and are not often at tended with loss. The rates of interest are never less than 12, and often more than 20 per cent. per annum."
