CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS TO PRESIDENT
LINCOLN.

Yesterday afternoon a very numerous deputation
waited by appointment upon Mr. Adams, the American
Minister to this country, at his residence in Portland-place,
to present to him, for oHcial transmission to Washington,
an address adopted by the committee of the Emancipation
Society, congratulating President Lincoln upon his re-elec-
tion to the presidency of the United States Amongst the
members of the deputation were Sir Charles LyeU, the
Rev. Dr. Massie, Rev. Baptist Noel, Rev. J. Brock, Rev.
Jabez Burns, Rev. W. D. exithill, Rev. J. B. Jones (of
Liverpool). Rev. 1). Buns. Rev..l. C. Galloway ; Messrs.
Nicholay, T. Hughes, J. M. Ludlow, Mason Jones, J. R.
Taylor, H. G. Slack, Lucas, J. Fruit., W. T. Malleeoo, Cook
(of Leicester), Professor Newman, M. Victor Sehoelcher, P.
A. Taylor, Si.!'., and Mr. Evans, the chairroao, and Mr.
(hews,, the boo. secretary, of the Emancipation Society.
After Mr. Evans introduced the deputation, Mr. Chosen
teed the address, and some remarks wen made by Mr. P.
A. Taylor, M.P., and the lion. and Rev. Baptist Noel,
Su CHARLES LYELL, Bart.—l did not expect to be called
upon to make any remark, but I may say that, having
visited the United States I times, I feel thoroughly
convinced that this is a struggle between a higher and a
lower civilization. (Cheers.) I have felt intense interest
in the contest, and, although I have been greatly surprised
at the amount of resistance which the South has been able
to show, I have never felt a doubt of the issue. Much u I de-
plore the suffering, the loss of life, and the bloodshed caused
by the war, I feel atatislied that had the North been able
more readily and immediately to put down that rebellion,
we should not have attained that result which this society
so earnestly desires—the emancipation of the Degrees in
the South. I believe that result would not have been so
effectively brought about as it will be in consequence of
the great resistance which the South has been able to
anthe.(Cheers.)

Dr. Mimic, 11;. Nichelay, Mr. Thomas Hughes. the Rev.
Dr. Brock, Dr. Frederick Tomkins, the Rev. Mr. Jones, Mr.
Mason Joins, and Dr. Buns having spoken,
His Excellency Mr. ADAMS said—Mr. chairman and gen-
Mom's, you will, in the delicate position in which I stand,
pardon me if. instead of trusting myself to an hazardous
form of words which might be muun I give you
my thoughts as I have written tbem down upon paper.
1 will therefore, with your permission, read my reply as
follows:-1 receive the address which you are pleased to
commit to my care with great satisfaction. Coming as it
does from se association of such respectability in this king-
dom. it cannot fail to be regarded in America as a strong
proof of the friendly interest taken by a considerable per.
tion of the English people in the welfare of the ('sited
States whilst passing through their great perils. This will
do great good. For I cannot disguise from myself or from
you the -sinful fact that an opposite disposition hoe been
manifested here in very influential circles, and that the
knowledge of this has given rise to a general impressioa
among my countrymen that the whole Britiah nation
really desires the disruption and consequent downfall
of the power of the ('sited States. Hence has sprung
up a corresponding degree of which bids fair, if
not counteracted, only to increase with time. if such
passions be permitted • full indulgence between two
nations it needs little sagacity to foretell that in
the long run the end is war. Very fortunately for ns
all in the present case, the demonstrations already made
by yourselves, and many other associations whose friendly
coniniuuications from Val ions portions of the kingdom
I am now continually reoeiviug for transmission to
America, will enable those who value the bleesinp of
peace and international amity to prove that whatever
may be the hostility of some, it is by no /DODDS shared by
the greeter number of the British people, and ought sot to
be presumed to be a national impression. (Cheers.) Permit
me, gentlemen, further to observe that the election to
which you refer in your address has drawn out as full mid
general an expression of the opinion of the whole people of
the region in which it has taken piece as has ever been the
s ease in the moat peaceful timer. Never was a canvass
a lore perfectly iree, nor more latitude taken in the discus-
on of public: questions and of the characters of public
▪ n. I. otkr these circumstances it is needless to point
oni to you how mistaken have been the notions of some
th. • any essential variation has taken place in the general
open awn of free institutions in all that portion of the
Unit 4 States (constituting much the greatest part) not
ih,nss irately the theatre of the war. (Cheers.) I would
faiths r beg leave to call your attention to two points which
the his tory of the late election appears clearly to establish.
The gust tis the practical impossibility of making any ef-
fective, eparation of the personal aid political interests of
the two sectieusof America now involved in this deplorable
. straggle. Ibis iodubitably shown by the fact that at no
time n „ ir history has so direct and persistent an effort at
interferes *to control the event of the election of President
been „whip by the people of the insurgent States as upon
this List ecusioot whilst they profess—and doubtless
heewiti,_4l sir desire to separate themselves whclly from
it. The not, 'noes projects devised by some of their agents
at Niagara F. lb in the autumn, followed as they were by
the eerei„,..„ at Chicago of candidate for the presidency

well known „ he most in .ymeethy, if not in absolute cote-
theeieatiee.c them, furnish evidence enough of this troth,
if the same were not confirmed by the regrets unequivocally
expressed since b v certain prominent leaders in the Southern
Statesat the tea ore of their expectations front that nomi-
nation. This. sh sws that whatever might be the sincerity
with which either 'onion of the country might iket in the
supposition that. if should cement to pledge itself to a com-
plete separation, th. !act that the political interests of the

el

and void. Thesea lnd point to which I would advert is
naturally suggested te • the tint. Its this—that the only
real question of differ eoce between the two parties in the
election oashhat which ' dinette involved the iatereeteof the
elaveholding insurgents math more that those of the loyal
Staten. (cheers.) The nomination at Chicago rested cm SID

Policy of the government, on the other head, was well so-

but the settlement of the i 'here question as • necessary pm-
liminary to a durable re-eat d disliment of peace. If this he

Three cheers were then given fee Mr. Lincoln,. and the
deputation withdrew.

New CATTLE MARK= IN Pisa/L.—The present
establishments at Pokey, Seeing, aid La Chapelle will be
shortly replaced by • ought market to lie kid out so a large t
plot of ground at the extremity sr L ciHstte, bordering or.
the fortiticatious. The object of this transfer is. to econo-
mise to the butcher, and indirectly to the OXIJOMer, the
expenses of the removal of the 'shriek to the present mao.
hats, and thence to the abattoirs of Paris. By the side ea
this new place of sale • geoend slaughter-home will he
erected, in w Lich all the animals purchased by the butchers
of Paris will be killed and cut up. Thus, the animals,
iutesd of being sent round Paris to Prissy or Soesux„..a
then brought back to the capital, will be forwarded at WOO
to the place when they are sold sod killed. The only out-
lay of the butchers will be the removal of the
meat from the slaughter-house to their shone.
The new market touches the circular railway
around Paris, which is in eamniusication with
ell the railways of France ; the cattle may be
thus brought to the spot without having to be removed
from ose train to another. This saving is calculated at 5
trance per bead. The underground worts are already in
progress, and a series of drains are being constructed for car-
rying the waste water iota the Villethe canal. All the
calves sent to the slaughter-houses will be examined by
inspectors charged to purchase such young heifers as seem
likely to become good mileh-cows. Breeders will he able to
obtain those selected animals at a fair price. No concession
of the market has yet been made, but it will be probably
accorded to • company in exchange fora small toll op each
bead of cattle. The French breeders wall have to compete
with those of foreign countries. Paris and England already
receive cattle from Germany, and even from ria far off se
Hungary, Sonia, and the Danubian Provinces. Those
animals will be brought from Vienna to Paris in 74 hours,
ate charge of 62 francs • head. The drovers will pay half
price from Vienna to Strasburg, and from the latter town
to Paris the railway company will allow a free yeas for
every eight trucks, or even lens in certain cases. To those
charges must be added 10 francs per head for keep.—
