THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT

LINCOLN.

BERLIN, MAT 3.

The address of sympathy from the Chamber of
Deputies was presented to the American Minister
yesterday.
His Excellency, in reply, thanked the chamber
in the name of the United States government and
people for the sympathy expressed by the members
of so illustrious and in every way so distinguished
an assembly. He lamented the great lose sus-
tained by the death of Mr. Lincoln. He also
extolled the great services rendered by the
Germans to the cause of the Union, and
said America would never forget what the
Germans had done for her cause. Mr. Seward was
now better. His death would be almost as great
a loss as was that of Mr. Lincoln. The death of
the President would create no change. in the policy
of the Not.h. Lincoln's greatest merit was that
he had faithfully carried out the will of the people,
and the will of the people had remained the same.
There was no fear of any change, for Andrew John-
son was a statesman, tested during a long public
career, and elected at the same time as Abraham

A petition it will be remembered is pending for the

appointment of five of the directors as provisional official

Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., and Mr. Phear to-day applied that
Mr. Harding might be appointed to act as provisional official
liquidator with those named on the previous occasion. Mr.
Selwyn, Q.C., and Mr. Swanstou opposed this, but his

The bill in this case raised the question as to whether en
injunction would be granted by. this court restraining a snit
for the restitution of conjugal rights after a separation be-
tween husband and wife, and a covenant by the former with
trustees not to molest the wife. His Honour refund to
grant an injunction. His judgment was appealed from, and
the Lord Chancellor taking • different view made the order.
This was appealed to the House of Lords. The judges
were summoned in the usual form to advise their lord-

His Honour inquired why judgment had not been asked

REDUCTION OF THE AUSTRIAN ARMY TO

A PEACE FOOTING.
VIENNA. JULY 6.

In to-day's sitting of the Upper House of the
Reichsrath the Minister of War announced that, in
consideration of the financial position of the country,
and taking into account political circumstances, the
Emperor had ordered the reduotion of the army in
Italy and Dalmatia to a complete peace footing.
He added, that the Emperor again recommended
that the utmost economy should be observed in all
branches of the administration.

The Howie unanimously passed without debate
the resolutions of the Finance Committee, and the
budget for 1865, as voted by the Lower House.

Although the S'u'ck continues to sulk at the fes-
tivities of the combined fleets as much at Ports-
mouth as it did at Cherbourg and Brest, thinking
they would be better employed in regulating
the affairs of the Blbe Duobies, or blockading
some port in Bohemia, the French press
in general seems inclined to take a greater
interest in the proceedings in the English
port than was shown in relation to the visit of our
fleet to their own shores. Probably for the very
reason that the Bieck sneers at the demonstration,
the Constitutionne/ makes the moss of it, and re-
produces the leaden of most of the London
papers to prove the cordiality of the good
feeling which exists towards France. The
"humorous" hints on behaviour for English
visitors to Portsmouth in Tuesday's Daily News
are referred to in the place of honour of the

PII.I2ICH AFFAIIN.

As the figures on the subject of the extradition treaty
with France show that England in the course of twelve
years has given up twenty-four fugitives, and France only
fourteen, the Times thinks that it is for the latter to ex-
plain why the treaty has been inoperative. What will
excite meet suspicion is the rumour that the present treaty
has been denounced only to make way for another, if it can
be obtained, more in accordance with the genius of the
French law and the exigencies of the French empire.
Something is wanted, it is said, that shall abate
the practical difficulties now encountered by those
who attempt to avail themselves of the treaty.
The routine of English law is admitted to be answerable
for some of this obstruction, but when refermice is made to
the countries with which the treaty works more effectually,
we are led to apprehend a fundamental difference between
ourselves and France as to its province and objects of
extradition. It is perfectly clear that whatever processes
are done under this treaty at the demand of France must
be in this reentry, and, as far u they go, must partake of
the spirit which animates our whole legal and political
system. No doubt the securities for freedom in this
country entail great inconvenience and give room for
Hoene.. They must thereby affect our character as
the immediate neighbour of a country which delibe.
Maly prefers an imperial to a constitutional government.
Bat it mast not be said that we have no reason to com-
plain in return. The state of things in France fills our
metropolis with causes of persons whom we should wish
to Infer away, and who form not an inconsiderable part of
oar so-called dangerous classes. There is so such English
class in France. The cue for the determination of the
treaty requires th►t just and properly authorised demands
have been mad*, and then frustrated by the delays, the
needless jealousies, and the intricacies of English law.
If it be so, aad if snob a caw has been made out, then we
shall pin by the disclosure even more than France, for
we are vastly more interested then she can be in the
simplifying of our legal promisee, in the removal ef un-
certainty, and in expediting the coarse of detection,

to apply S similar policy to all foreign papers, he is initiat-

France has hitherto been a total stranger. The practical
carrying out of such • system is simply impossible. It
will annoy and offend and give trouble ; but such • rule
cannot be enforced. Prohibited works are always to be
had in Paris. The censorship of the Minister of the In-
terior might be employed with infinitely better effect in
endeavouring to banish from French literature and the
French stage the filthy end debasing scenes and plots sad
characters which are debauching with impunity the heart
and intellect of the rising generation.

THE JAMAICA COMMISSION.

In the late discussion at Guildhall in reference to the
appointment of Mr. Russell Gurney, Q.C., the Recorder of
the City of L,ndoe, to one of the commissiouerships, Mr.
Gurney stated. in reply to a question as to how long he
might be absent from this country, that it was impossible
t s give any positive answer ; " that the voyage there and
b sck would occupy about five weeks ; and that his impres-
sion wee, the inquiry might last about sin weeks more,
though it would depend upon the time when they got to
w ok, for there were same preliminary steps to be taken
ht the colony before they could begin." The Gerald be-
lieves there is a good deal of significance in them
mole " pnlirainsry s`cps," the government having
suddenly discovered that they have no power to
issue a commission to ell Ula lee on oath in the
colony. It is doubtful whether each a power exists is
England; certainly it cannot exist in the colony without
&h.. mecum nee of Oil eoloois' legislature. The only pm.
cadent of the kind is that furnished by Ceylon. When it
was necessary, in the case of an outbreak during Lord Tor-
rington's administration of that island, to issue a similar
coumimion, an ant of the legislature was required
before the commissioners could commence their labours.

This act was easily obtained at Ceylop, because the legisla.
live council emulated 'minty of official nominees, who
wean, of course, bound to pass any °seinen*s required by the
Secretary of State. Bet in Jamaica things Sc. different.
The legislature is representative ; and it is extremely un-
likely that it will be willing to stultify itself by empower-
ing a commission to take judicial proem...bugs upon acts for
which that very legislature has already passed an sat of in-
