This event which, under any circumstances, would have called forth these feelings, seems to do so more strongly at this time, when so much appeared to depend upon Mr. Lincoln's well known character for integrity, and his kindly desire of conciliation, in the great task to which he was about to address himself, of restoring peace and concord in that great country, over the councils of which he presided. We also desire to express our deep and heartfelt sympathy in the irreparable loss which his family have sustained, and 'we beg you will convey tk them the assurance of this feeling, which we- believe List universally throughout this country. , To the Governor of the Bank of England.

REPRESENTATION OF WHITEHAVEN.—Mr. George Lyall will retire from the representation of this borough at the close of the present Parliament, and it is understood that Mr. G. C. Bentinek, ono of the present members for Taunton, will offer himself for the vacant seat. Being a relative of the Earl of Lonsdale, the influence of whose family is all paramount at Whitehaven, Mr. Bentinck will probably be elected without opposition. THE CIIANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER AND THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.—The announcements from time to time made that the Chanceller of the Ex chequer would contest the University of Oxford against all comers appear to have been exceedingly Well-founded,as the Oxford friends of the right hon.gentleman have already taken up his cause, and arc using energetic means to secure his return. The movement at Oxford in Mr. Gladstone's favour appears to have been accelerated by the conduct of his opponents, who have done everything in their power to induce Mr. Gathorne Hardy, of Oriel College, to come forward. Mr. Gladstone's committee contains most of the "young blood" in the university, and also comprises the names of distinguished senior mem bers. The committee have issued circulars to mem bers of convocation, inviting them to give Mr. Glad stone their support, and in a very short time they will be enabled to satisfy themselves of his chance, as they ask for replies as early as possible. The published Register of Convocation contains 4,006 names, in addition to which there will be many young masters of arts, whom the occa sion may have prompted to put on their gowns. It is rumoured that Lord Robert Cecil will be Mr. Gladstone's opponent now Mr. Q. Eardy has retired from the A numerous meeting was held on Saturday at the theatre of the South Kensington Museum, for the purpose of con sidering various communications which had been received by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council on Educa tion, respecting the establishment of suburban museums, and for considering how far the original iron building of the South Kensington Museum could be made useful for that purpose. Earl Granville presided, and there were present Mr. Henry Cole, C. 8., representing the Science and Art Department; Lord Ebury, Alderman Salomons, M.P., Mr. Tite, M.P.; Mr. Locke, M.P. ; the Hon. Mr. Cowper, M.P. ; Mr. Ayrton, M.P.; Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P. ; Mr. Powell, M.P. ; Mr. Bruce, M.P. ; Mr. Briscoe, M.P. ; Mr. B. Hope, Mr. Maudslay, Mr. Samuda, Mr. Thwaites, Mr. Cruickshank, Mr. Godwin, Rev. T. W. Fowle, Mr. Murphy, and many others connected with various branches of trade, industry, and art. Earl GB.Ammur.v. briefly exp:ained that the new building which had been provided at South Kensington had . ren dered unnecessary the original iron building, and that the Committee of Council on Education were desirous of utilis ing the structure as far as possible, and having that object in view they had called the meeting together; and he should be glad to hear any suggestions or proposals that might be made bearing on the subject. The Rev. 'Newman Hall, Mr. Brady, Mr. H. Lewis, M.P., the Rev. Dr. Hewlet, and Prof. Rogers respectively advo cated the claims of South London, North-East London, the West and North-West of London, Bow, and Southwark. In the course of a discussion which ensued, it was ex plained that the Government proposed to divide the build-. ing into three parts, and to give one portion to the same number of localities. Mr. AYRTON, M.P., thought that the proposed division of the building into three parts would be attended with some practical difficulty, and suggested that six months should be allowed, in order to see what steps should be taken on the part of the public with respect to the proposals which might be made. Lord EBTJRY suggested that, in the interval between the present and next meeting, the Committee of Council should prepare some lithograph plans, showing into how many portions the building could be divided, the proposed area, and other facts which might be useful in discussing the question. Mr. TITE, M.P., referred to the ground plan of the build ing, which was displayed upon the wall, and the drawings, which showed in what manner the building could be di vided, and said that it was perfectly clear that it could be most conveniently formed into three portions, each of which would be about 90 feet wide and 126 feet long. There was a considerable amount of valuable material in the building, which cost originally something like £lO,OOO. With respect to the value of the portions, each district would determine for itself how far it was suited for its particular purpose. Ho was glad to hear that so many gentlemen in the dif ferent districts had expressed themselves favourably to the establishment of these museums, because of their moral and intellectual advantages there could be no doubt. The external structure of the building was certainly its worst feature, but the interior was well adapted for many useful purposes of a local museum. As to the proposal that the Government should find all the money or the site in any locality, that he was sure could not for a moment be enter tained. (Hear, hear.) After some remarks from Mr. Powell, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Remington, and Mr. Murphy on matters of detail connected with the question before the meeting, Mr. LUCRAFT, a working man, said that he had been re quested to represent his brother workmen at Ifoxton at the meeting, and to ask, not for charity, but for some justice to the claims of the district in which he lived, in any assistance which Government proposed to afford for the establishment of local museums. He was by trade a cabinent-maker, and if there was any work which he had tBperform that required more than usual care or forethought in design he and his fellow workmen had no opportunity of obtaining that in formation except by the great loss of time involved in a visit to and from South Kensington, the journey to which could not be made in less than three hours, which was too great a tax upon the time and labour of the working man. After some further discussion, Mr. Ayrton, M.P., and Mr. Briscoe, M.P., seconded a vote of thanks to the noble chairman for the courtesy and ability with which he had presided over the meeting. Earl GRANVILLE, in reply, said that he was sincerely obliged to the gentlemen who had attended to promote an object which he really believed to be of great importance. The Science and Art Department were not by any means desirous of establishing a monopoly at South Kensington, but were most anxious to see district museums supported wherever they would be useful and agreeable to the inhabi tants. So far from losing in their number of visitors from the establishment of these museums, he believed that many persons who visited the smaller museums would be the more anxious to visit South Kensington. The result of the meeting had been most satisfactory, although perhaps not very definite in its results. It had been shown that the meeting had a right to speak for London, and their opinion was that it was desirable to establish district museums. Several gentlemen had spoken of the claims of their dis tricts, and they had very properly of course pressed upon the Government the duty of doing everything. (A laugh.) But the different claims which had been made for various parts of the metropolis afforded evidence of the existence of something like competition in the matter, and this would have the effect of causing emulation in voluntary efforts. (Hear.) He fully concurred in the opinion expressed by Mr. Lucraft of the value of these local museums, and did not think that ho had at all overstated the claims of the work ing men, whose cause he very ably advocated. (Hear, hear.) But it must be borne in mind that in districts where there were large bodies of workmen there were also large em ployers of labour and possessors of wealth, and he hoped that the wealth and influence thus enjoyed would be rendered available forgeneral purposes of this kind. (Hear, hear.) He concurred in the proposal to give sixmonthsfor the conside ration of the question, and even if the Government were pre pared to come to a decision at once, they were not prepared to hand over the building immediately. Some gentlemen had not paid a very strict regard to the old proverb about not looking a gift horse in the mouth—(alaugh)— and had even hinted that the building would not be worthy their accept ance. (A laugh.) At all events, if the materials were required for any local museum they would have to be paid for. Those which the Government had at their disposal had cost about £12,000. Whatever deductions might be made for wear and tear they would still bo valuable. What the Government proposed was, that on the fulfiment of certain conditions, which would be specified, they would give the materials free of expense on every respective site which might be decided upon for the purpose of a local museum. (Cheers.) At the close of the proceedings a number of the visitors were conducted by Mr. Henry Colo, C. 8., through the gal leries and collections of the South Kensington Museum, and it was explained that the portion of the building avail able for the purpose of local museums was twice as large as the area of Westminster Hall. REPRESENTATION OF LINCOLN. —Mr. E. Heneage has issued an address as a Liberal candidate for Lincoln, in opposition to Mr. J. Bramley-Moore. Mr. Heneage avows himself a supporter of Lord Palmerston's Government, and to be in favour of a just and liberal measure to settle the question of church rates, and an extension of the franchise. The citizens are rejoicing to-day over the bril liant promise of the weather. During the early part of the week it had been changeable, and fears were entertained that the interesting open-air re joicings arranged to celebrate the gracious visit of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales would lose the greater part of their attractions from an un favourable state of the atmosphere. At present, however, everything is bright and cheerful, and workinen are busy in all the principal thorough fares of the city decorating the exteriors of public buildings and large private firms, in many cases with beautiful devices, for the intended illumina tion. An amount of expense has been contracted by the principal citizens in preparing the outside of their establishments to add to the gaiety of the occasion, which is the most convincing proof that the welcome intended to be given to the royal prince will be, in Irish phrase, a real Cead mule failthe. Dublin, in fact, never looked better than at present. Of late years there has been a rapidity in local improvementswhich evensurprises residents, and which certainly is a strange comment upon the complaints of prevailing poverty sometimes uttered for political purposes. Much of the good feeling that exists with respect to the coming ceremonies, and of the anxiety evinced to render them as effec tive as possible, is due, it is but justice to say, 10 the knowledge among the citizens that Lord Wode house has exerted himself in the most cordial manner to procure for the Exhibition Committee works of art in the possession of English noblemen. It is felt that the Lord Lieutenant has the practical interests of the country at heart, and of this his speech just delivered in Drogheda gives fresh proof. The city will be very full next week ; already, indeed, it is difficult to procure accommodation in the leading hotels. The railways have arranged for nume rous excursions, and tourists will have every facility in visiting spots of scenic interest within a reasonable distance of the Irish me tropolis. The country gentry have, in conside rable numbers, taken houses in Dublin for the season, which will certainly be one of the gayest seen here for very many years. The Man sion House has undergone extensive alterations, and been richly embellished for the ball to be given on Tuesday evening, and the ball in the Exhibition building fixed for Friday evening is almost equally looked forward to with pleasurable anticipations as an occasion on which all that is brilliant and dis tinguished in society will grace the magnificent concert-hall. This splendid apartment will hold easily 3,000 people, and is illuminated by five grand sunlights which have been tested on several even ings of the week, and found a perfect success. Within the Exhibition itself, of course, things are still to some degree, to speak familiarly, at sixes and sevens ; and there is no doubt that the building will be ready on Tuesday morning—all the principal articles properly placed, and the stalls of the exhibi tors glittering with their fancy treasures. The French are here in considerable force, and their glass cases are beginning to show something of the blaze of splendour which they may be expected to exhibit when their gems and bijouterie are arranged with the taste only possessed by Frenchmen. There will be a large representation of the more useful description of " exhibits." It may be anti cipated that the International Exhibition, in this respect, will much surpass that of 1853, which, you will remember, was held about half a mile distant from the site of the present edifice, on Leinster Lawn. Since that period very remarkable progress has been made both in the larger manufactures and art-manufactures of Ireland, and at the proper time I shall be able to furnish you with evidence of this fact which will possess no little interest. The in troduction of improved machinery into Ireland for the woollen manufacture, and the daily greater use of machines of new device in agriculture, are among the most promising signs of a prosperity which is, I hold, steadily advancing despite the occasional checks given by unpropitious skies. The main attraction of the Exhibition in the interior —I say nothing now of the " trysting tree" in the garden without, the last lone beautiful survivor of a mimic forest long since swept away ; of the archery grounds, where fair competitors will grace the fairy scene; of the cascade, or lake, or maze (a very poor imitation of that at Hampton Court, it must be confessed), or the large fountains of stone, or the gallery running round the circular end of the glass building, from which the whole ex tent of the grounds is seen ; the main attraction of the Exhibition, I repeat, is the central hall, which, though narrow enough, is made charming by two rows of well-arranged statuary, comprising works of Roman and Italian artists ; and the picture gallery above, which gives wall space for the largest pic tures, and which is already covered with historic incidents of great dramatic interest ; glades which cool the eye and calm the brain to look deep into ; sea-pieces, fresh and exciting, and quaint mediaeval canvases for persons fond of gloom and retrospection. The Prussian paintings are especially fine ; there are Belgian pictures also, warm, rich, and inimitable in colouring ; and British pictures besides, constituting a very fair representation of our various schools. Among the statuary one of the most remarkable works is Miss Hosmer's " Sleeping Fawn," but there are a dozen others almost equally striking ; among the rest the " Judith" of Story and his noble " Saul." The last -named work already arrests every visitor, placed as it is at the end of the hall. Saul is seated, a fine old man with imposing aspect, saddened, slightly broken, but with a strangely powerful expression of lingering vigour. Not the least attractive features in this part of the edifice is a grouping of busts- of Irishmen, with whose names visitors from England are familiar, but whose features they have never before had an opportunity of witnessing —men belonging to a period gone by, when, affect not to see it as they may, Irishmen must own that their public arena was occupied by giants who have now no counter parts. There was a rehearsal this afternoon of the music to be performed on Tuesday at the inaugural ceremony, when everything went off well. The curtailment of the music by Lord Wodehouse has given satisfaction, and I have heard to-day only one expression from men of all classes—and it is an expression of indignation at the intrusive com plaint of Mr. Pope Hennessy as to the omission of "Patrick's Day" or "The Shan van Vocht," or, mayhap, " The Rakes of Mallow," from a pro gramme meant to be chiefly sacred, and to express the gratitude of the vast audience to Providence for the bounties symbolised by the articles of comfort or of beauty presented to the eye at every turn in the erection. The English must not mistake. No such feeling exists in Dublin as Mr. Hennessy's spurious nationality suggests, and there need be no appre hension that any sort of manifestation in the direc tion indicated by his interrogatories will take place. It is the desire of the public of all classes and opi nions that the occasion should be one marked by a joyous unity, and all present symptoms go to show that his royal highness will be received in Ireland with the heartiest welcomes, and followed through out his stay with the same expressions of devoted loyalty. The Irish public fully appreciate his com ing as a special act of condescension on the part of her Majesty, in whose name the heir - to the throne will open the International Exhibition ; and to the cordial and respectful reception which would be given to the Queen did she visit these shores, will, I am confident, be added unmistakable proof that the Prince himself is a favourite in the Eme rald Isle. The programme of the reception of his Royal Highness at Kingstown has not been issued ; but some of the arrangements have been disclosed by the local officials. The Carlisle Pier, where the Prince is to land, will be reserved exclusively for the accommodation of the noblemen and gentlemen TO QUADRILLE PLAYERS.—Now Ready, A.F.

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " aledical Cliental' ? " with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of "Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" woutd not advertise, he hay referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertisin4 columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporat les, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these narcreatits, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl• t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medic tl 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 sully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark espeeally that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by 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 " it evelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi 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.

A military guard will of course be drawn up on the pier ; and, on the landing taking place, a salute will be fired on the land by a battery of the Royal Artillery, and on the water by the Royal George, the Black Prince, and the Liverpool. Kingstown has always given a fervid reception to the members of the royal family, and on this occa sion it appears determined to maintain its reputation. The yacht clubs; the railway station, the yachts and vessels in the harbour, and the houses near the pier, are to be handsomely decorated. His Royal Highness, after proceeding by rail to Dublin, will be escorted by a guard of dragoons to the Viceregal Lodge, Phcenix-park, which is now clothed in the loveliest green through the alternate showers of rain and bursts of sunshine during the last few days. The apartments in the Viceregal Lodge which are to be placed at the disposal of the Prince of Wales have been elaborately decorated. Lady Wodehouse, I believe, has superintended the entire of the arrangements, and the result is a display of chaste taste as well as great richness. The grounds of the Viceregal Lodge, always kept in excellent order, look unusually well at present, as for some time past, owing to the expectation of the prince's visit ; more than ordinary attention has been paato them. It is understood that on Monday evening his royal higness will dine in private with the Lord Lieutenant and Lady Wodehouse. After the inau guration ceremony, on the following evening the prince and the Duke of Cambridge will be enter tained at a grand banquet by his excellency, to which a large number of the nobility and distin guished persons have been invited. The same evening, as you are aware, the ball and supper, at which his royal highness will be the guest of the Lord Mayor, is to take place. The following day the grand review of the troops in garrison here, and those encamped on the Curragh of Kildare, will be held under the command of the Duke of Cambridge ; and in the evening it is expected that the royal visitors will be the guests of General Sir George Brown, the commander of the forces. Extension of the Dockyards. Papers have been laid before the House of Com mons by the Secretary to the Admiralty relating to the proposed extension of basin and dock accommo dation in the royal dockyards. The Director of Works, in a memorandum of the 23d Jan., states .that his estimate of the probable expenditure in carryinginto effect the recommendations of the select committee of 1854 on dockyards is £6,000,000. But a very considerable saving may be anticipated if convict labour be employed side by side with contract work, and his estimate based on this combination is as follows :—Portsmouth, £1,500,000 ; Chatham, £1,250,000 ; Keyham, £750,000 ; Cork, £150,000; Malta, £500,000 ; Bermuda, £250,000 ; advances to companies in aid of the construction of docks to be always available for , her Majesty's ships, £250,000 —making in all £4,650,000. The direc tor takes 15 years as the period over which the ex penditure would be spread, involving an annual out lay of about £310,000 ; but so much expenditure on make-shift alterations of works constructed with a view to a former state of things would be saved that the addition to the present annual vote for naval works would probably scarcely average £lOO,OOO a year. But he considers it desirable that Parliament should so approve the scheme in its entirety as to justify the Government, if the contingency of war should arise, in engaging so large a body of free labour as to secure the more rapid completion of the works even at the amount of the first estimate, £6,000,000. The director suggests that when once the expenditure has been fixed after deliberate ex amination and approval of the plans it should be sanctioned, if practicable, by an act providing for the entire cost, removing the scheme from the in fluences which so often obstruct and impair the effi cient execution of• extensive public works. When the Government can enter into no contracts beyond the year, the practical result is that higher prices must be paid, and too often the results for which they have been paid are not obtained. This view is supported by the Admiralty in correspondence with the Treasury relating to the dockyard extensions at Chatham and Portsmouth, the matters were imme diately urgent, the Admiralty are anxious to ob viate the necessity for a proviso for an allowance to contractors in the event of Parliament thinking fit to refuse or reduce the necessary annual vote, a proviso which inevitably leads to the payment of a higher price, as contractors are unwilling to enter into engagements so fettered, however large the com pensation to be paid them in such a contingency. Although the total estimate for the work in the first column of the Estimates is generally understood as sanctioned by Parliament when the first vote for the work is passed, yet the director of works has not always felt authorised in cases of considerable amount to propose to pledge the Admiralty to prospective expenditure, and such anticipations of future votes are especially open to objection when the first instal ment would be no criterion of the amount of future instalments, or when the first " total estimate" is not based on actual tenders or detailed specifications. The practice does not seem to be guided by any rule, and the Admiralty suggests that it should be con sidered not merely with reference to the Admiralty, but other departments also. If contracts for these dockyard extensions can be made with firms of the highest position, spreading the payments in fixed in stalments over a series of years, great economy will be the result. • To this the Treasury can only reply, in their letter of April 26, that so far as concerns these particular works at Chatham and Portsmouth, the Treasury, having regard to the magnitude of the works, would have been inclined to suggest the in troduction of a bill authorising their completion within a definite time out of moneys to be voted, thus giving Parliament the opportunity of authoris ing definitely the proposed scheme. But what the Admiralty desire is to introduce a new system gene rally with respect to contracts for public works, so as to give the public the advantage possessed by the private trade of certainty in respect of engagements of character. The Treasury feel that they could hardly sanction this course of proceeding without the sanction of Parliament, but they have no ob jection to the question being submitted for the con sideration of the House of Commons. RESPIRATORY APPARATUS.-A series of experi ments were made a few days ago in the barracks of the Rue Culture-Ste.-Catherine with an apparatus, invented by M. Galibert, to enable a man to breathe in the midst of deleterious' emanations. A quantity of flowers of sulphur was set fire to in a collar, and a sufficient quantity of sulphurous acid being thus/evolved, a fireman, who had never used M. Galibert's apparatus, which is a combination of air tubes, communicating with a sort of knapsack filled with compressed air, entered the cellar, and stayed 12 minutes in it, without experiencing any injurious effects. His nostrils during the time were strongly compressed by a sort of spring, and his eyes pro-'' tected by a pair of spectacles made for the purpose. .The man did not leave the cellar until called by his colonel. The cellar was then filled with a dense and acrid smoke, and another man went in with the same success. At length Col. Willerme himself put on the apparatus, an d s t ayed considerable time in that atmosphere of suffocating his vapourswn of every description, and convinced himself by experience that a man could breathe as freely with the werein at the Voepersnailaliers., Similar lalat.teeflPyeriin m apparatusent s hav as e b li e o h n e performed one of the cellars of the Societe d'Encouragement. b When the air in the reservoir has b ecome foul th o action of breathing, fresh air may b e easily y introduced ; the knap sack, which is of metal, has a tin bottom, but the lid con sists of a skin or leather bag. To drive out the foul air, this leather bag has only to be pressed down, and to fill the space with fresh air th e bag is pulled up again. To fill a of a larger space, like that goat-skin, with air, M. Galibert uses a pair of bellows, a slower process, but better adapted to the size of the recipient. • •ri E WSPAPE 3:1 ii.c?-1 - '• i , s,' ?' , ~„- '#7-4 • s -, - - , v , , , z: ._,.. 4'4 ( Lord Amberley on the Am 1 1 s A public meeting was . held i n th e S u b scription Rooms at Stroud, on Friday evening, to express in dignation at the late assassination, and sympathy with the American people. There was a crowded audience, and great enthusiasm and unanimity pre vailed. Lord Amberley, in proposing a resolution expressive of the feeling of the meeting, said if any thing can comfort the people of the United States at this time of profound grief, I trust that they will derive some consolation when they see the manner in which this sad intelligence has been received in England. There have been times in the course of this war when the prospects of the Federal army were not quite so brilliant as they are at present. At such times we may have thought it a most despe rate undertaking to continue in the attempt to effect the restoration of the Union ; but though I could not tell how this war might 'end—although it was impossible to say whether it might result in the subjugation or in the separation of the South— yet it always appeared to me that it would infal libly result in strengthening the power and adding . to the greatness of the United States, inasmuch as they would be delivered for ever 'from the burden of a great injustice. (Cheers) It is im possible for any nation to continue in-the perpetra tion of a gigantic wrong without deriving from that wrong something of weakness. (Hear, hear.) Now . that this consummation is happily approaching, we look with feelings of hope towards the United States; and if I might endeavour to interpret what I imagine to be not only the feelings of this meeting, but that of the country in general, I would say that there is mingled with that hope a gread deal of anxiety. (Hear, hear.) We are anxious lest the people of the North should be led by the misguided counsels of sanguinary men into acts of hostility and hatred towards the Southern people. We trust that they will continue to be animated by that love of humanity and kindliness which is said to have char acterised Lbraham Lincoln. (Cheers.) We trust that in all their dealings with broken-and humbled . adversaries they will be actuated by no spirit of hatred or revenge, but by one of mercy and forbear ance. (Cheers.) They will have a great task befoe them—the task of utterly extinguishing and uproot ing the institution of negro slavery. That is one of the highest duties that has ever fallen to the lot of any nation. (Hear, hear.) The American people have had in this war to solve an extremely difficult problem—the subjugation of the South. They have succeeded in that, but they will have to contend now with a problem which perhaps is more difficult still, for that unhappy race of negroes who • have been degraded, morally and intellectually, by so many years of servitude, have a right to demand at their hands not only emancipation, but also that education and those material comforts which will enable them to use and wisely to enjoy the blessings of liberty. (Cheers.) This will be a glorious duty; and I for my part cannot doubt that the people of the United States will be fully adequate to its per formance—that they will perform it in a spirit of wise humanity and moderation and justice—and that having performed it they will rise to a position even greater and higher than it has ever been their lot to occupy among the nations of the civilised. world. (Loud cheers.) THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN.— HAMBURG, May 4.—ln conformity with an adver tisement in the local papers convening a public meeting of the United States citizens residing in this city, to give expression to their feelings on the late atrocious tragedies at Washington, they assembled yesterday very numerously at the United States consulate, Mr. J. R. M'Donald, the United States Vice-consul, in the chair, when, after several eloquent speeches had been delivered, the fol lowing resolutions were moved, seconded, and unanimously agreed to :—" Resolved,—That as it has pleased our Almighty Father to suffer our beloved President Abraham Lincoln's useful and honourable career to be brought sud denly to a close, we, the undersigned citizens of the United States, temporarily removed from our transatlantic homes, have assembled to give expression to the overpowering sorrow and regret with which we received the intelligence of that melancholy event. God in his infinite mercy per mitted him to live long enough to impress us with the deepest and most indelible sense of his many virtues, and in our hearts he will never die. His memory will remain to us, and with the Father of our country' he will jointly occupy the post of honour as the first in the hearts of his fellow citizens.' " "Resolved,—That our chairman, James R. M'Donald, the United States vice-consul at Hamburg, be requested to send a copy of this resolution to the Secre tary of State, and convey to Mrs. Lincoln the expressions of our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolence with her on her irreparable loss.—Hamburg, May 3, 1865." (Follow the signatures.) Last evening, in the sitting of the Bur gerschaft, on the motion of Mr. A. Sanders, seconded by Mr. G. A. Schoen, the following resolution was put and unanimously carried :—" In the firm conviction that the Senate will not fail to give official expression to the general, feeling of indignation and sorrow caused by the abominable assassination of the President of the United States, this assembly requests the Senate to mention specially that the Burgerschaft of Hamburg unanimously entertains the most lively sympathy with the United States on their melancholy loss." TOB&CCO.—The Presse Scientifique contains an in teresting article, in which Dr. Joly's late researches on tobacco in a hygienic point of view are analysed. Dr. Joly is a declared enemy of the " fragrant weed," and some of his arguments are certainly telling. Thus he shows that while the tobacco of the Levant, Greece, and Hungary does not contain any nicotine, that of Arabia, Brazil, Havanna h, and Paraguay contain 2 per cent. of that deleterious base ; that of Maryland contains 2.29 per. cent., of Kentucky 6.09, and that of the department of the Lot nearly 8 per cent., while the sorts of Alsace, the Pas-de-Calais, Ille-et- Villains, and Virginia are not far removed from the two latter figures. It evident therefore that tobacco is noxious in proportion of the nicotine its contains ; and that if the Turks, Greeks, Hungarians, and Brazilians smoke with impunity from daybreak to sunset, it is be cause their tobacco either contains no nicotine at all, or at best very little. Other nations smoke very innocent herbs, such as hops, teas, aniseed, &c., and hence the very diffe rent opinions held by medical men concerning the effects of smoking. Nor is the mode of smoking indifferent either. John Nicol, in order to promote the custom of smoking, imported a quantity of long hollow reeds from Lisbon, to which he attached a small silver bowl, not un like those now in use, made of meerschaum or clay. Dutch pipes were introduced next, then the long Oriental ones, &c., but the most noxious of all are the short ones, while the cigar is the least objectionable of all. Napoleon did not smoke at all ; and Goethe says that a man of genius can not cultivate both his science and his pipe together and that if there are a few illustrious exceptions to the . rule, still it is certain that there have always been more learned men taking snuff than smoking. According to Dr. James Johnston, BQO millions of men smoke difforents sorts of tobacco ; 400,000 smoke opium and its compounds; 300,000 hemp and haschisch, 100,000 betel, and 40,000 the Ame rican plant coca. THE MOTHER OF KANGAROO.-Although the high priced Kangaroo was defeated for the Two Thousand Guineas, the history of his clam, Yarra Yarra, who has re cently been brought into notice again in consequence of Kangaroo's recent successes—forms such an equine romance that it is worth a brief record, even at the risk of diverging from our direct narrative. Stranger oven, indeed, than the career of the Godolphin Arabian—so vividly depicted by Eugene Sue—has been that of Kangaroo's dam. She was bred by Sir Joseph Hawley in 1856, being by Cowl—Diversion, disposed of and was purchased by Mr. "Dunbar" as a yearlin g a t Tatter.. sail's at the sale of a drau g ht of Sir Jo seph Hawley's stud. • Not caring about her , however, Mr. " Dunbar" pa her ssteod3 intof r.

Sho was again covered the following year, but proving barren, she was once more discarded, and sold as a hack for 25 sovereigns, but, like all who had previously possessed her, her new owner did not like her,• and she was returned to Mr. Blenkiron, who then exchanged her for a little Volti geur mare, valued at about 15 sovereigns, and once more she became the property of Mr. Reeves. lie, however, did not keep her long, for, losing money by her, he sold her to a cabman. Tho cabman, however, could not get her to go in harness, and got quit of her for four sovereigns. Her new purchaser then had her raffled for, and she was won by a costermonger, who had her turned out at the rate of about Is. or is. 6d. per week. The recent successes of Kan garoo, however, caused attention to bo once more directed to his dam, and Reeves having traced her out and secured her after some trouble, Mr. Blenkiron, a few days since, re purchased her in a very forlorn condition for 300 sovereigns, and she will be, or has been, put to Dundee. Suchis equine life, and such have been the vicissitudes experienced by the dam of angaroo.--- , Be l r B Lire. NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF " COUSIN GEOFFREY."
