Fresh up :to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat
from Essex and Kent were very moderate, and nearly the
whole of the supply was received in good condition. As
regards all qualities, the trade was decidedly firm. A
clearance of the supply brought forward was steadily
effected, and both red and white samples changed hands at
an advance in prices from Monday ldst of I.s. per
quarter, making an improvement, as compared with the
rates current on Monday last, of 2s. per quarter.

METROPOLITAN CANTLE.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts and sheep
on sale at our market, to-day, for the most part in very
middling condition. With foreign calves, the market was
moderately supplied. Generally speaking, the trade. was
slow, on rather easier terms.
Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of
beasts were good, both as to number and quality. The re-
ceipts from Scotland were large, and the condition of the
stock was very prime. For all breeds of beasts the trade
was in an inactive state, and prices declined 2d. per tlbs.,
from Monday last, the top figure being 4s. 10d. per 81bs.
Prime heavy Scots and Crosses sold at 4s. Bd. per Blbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we re-
ceived 2,160 Scots and Crosses; from other parts of Eng-
land, 750 of various breeds; from Scotland, 940 Scots and
Crosses ; and from Ireland, 150 oxen and heifers.
The supply of sheep on sale was moderate, and the
quality of the stock was moderately good. The mutton
trade was decidedly quieter than on Monday last; never-
theless, good and prime Downs and half-brads changed
hands, in most instances, at that day's currency. Inferior
sheep declined in value 2d. per 81bs., out of the wool.
There was a fair supply of lambs on sale, and the lamb
trade was dull. Prices ranged from 6s. Bd. to Bs. per 81bs.,
showing a decline of 2d. to 4d. per Blbs. from Monday
last. _ _

Calves met a slow sale, at Thursday's decline in prices,
of 6cl. per Blbs. The top price was ss. per Blbs. The sup-
ply on offer was only moderate.
Prime small pigs were firm in prices, but large pigs
were on dull inquiry.

MARL-BOROUGH-STREET.

Who was the man who, conversing amid suspicion andthe
unfavourable criticisms of the world, simply by dint of his
own simplicity of character, his own steadfastness, truth-
fulness, and utter selfishness of porpoise, had won his way
to the admiration of the world ? Who was it but this man
of the people, this uneducated man, without experience in
great affairs; this man, whose -heart, visible before the
world, grew sadder and gentler to the last, amid all the
death and all the suffering which he witnessed ? Who was
it but Abraham Lincoln, the martyr of his country and of
freedom. (Cheers.)
Mr. POTTER, M.P. for Rochdale, in seconding the reso-
lution, stated that he stood in the place of the great and
good man Richard Cobden, whose highest praise it was
that his life was devoted to the work of dignifying labour.
This too, was the noble mission of President Lincoln. He
sought to put an end to slavery. He (Mr. Potter) wished
to destroy serfdom at home. He rejoiced.that popular Go-
vernment had stood the severe test to which it had been
subjected; that the so-called 4' bubble of.democracy " had
not burst, and he hoped to see the spirit of democracy ex-
tend in our land.

Mr. BAXTER, M.P. for Montrose, in supporting the reso-
lution, joined in the expression of his deep regret at the
untimely death of President Lincoln by an act than which
history had recorded none more atrocious. But whilst
deeply regretting this terrible calamity, he could not for a
moment imagine that the glorious cause of emancipation in
America, the triumph of free constitutional government, and
the suppression of the revolt of the slaveholder, depended on
the life of ono single man. (Cheers.) The contest between
a great democracy and a slave-owning aristocracy would,
he was convinced, be brought to a satisfactory conclusion,
and he was much mistaken if the result would not give an
impetus on this side of the Atlantic to the cause and pro-
gress of reform.

The Hon. LYELL STANLEY, a son of Lord Stanley of Al-
derley, who had recently visited America, said—l am
proud to have this opportunity to add my testimony to those
which you have heard in honour of this great and good man,
President Lincoln, who has been taken from us so suddenly
and so deplorably. I think, in the speeches which we have
heard to-night, it has very properly been insisted upon as
one of the leading traits of President Lincoln's character,
that he was full of gentleness, and forbearance, and tolera-
tion, even to those Southern insurgents who, as has been
said, with truth, I believe, proposed to take his life as he
passed through Baltimore on the way to the capital for his
first inauguration. One of his most striking characteristics
was that, while holding firmly and tenaciously to that great
principle which he was elected to support—l mean the
restriction of slavery in the territories—and while he was
willing,as occasion offered, to bring on to the side of freedom
the exercise of the war power which he used in preserving
the Union, he was able, side by side with that determina-
tion, to resist evils, able to be forbearing and tolerant to the
Southern people. I had the pleasure about this time last year
to see Mr. Lincoln at Washington. Mr. Seward took me to
see him. I recollect it was just after that horrible massacre
at Fort Pillow. He commenced talking of it to Mr. Seward
and was reluctant to believe it. There had been other
massacres before, and he was talking of doing then what I
believe was afterwards dcne—sending a senator out to the
West to investigate the facts. He was loth to believe that
his countrymen, even misguided and blinded by slavery,
could commit such horrible acts as that. It was this charac-
teristic forbearance and generosity to his foes which pre-
eminently characterised President Lincoln, and which I
specially admired in him, connected as it was with firmness
of principle.
Mr. H. FAwcETT and Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE, M.P. for
Reading, also supported the resolution, which, like the
preceding one, was carried without a dissentient voice.

Mr. CAIRD, M.P., proposed the following resolution:—
"That copies of the foregoing resolutions be placed in the
hands of the Hon. C. F.Adams, the American Minister, for
transmission to his Excellency the President of the United
States, Mrs. Lincoln, and the Hon. W. H. Seward."
Mr. Grenfell, M.P. for Stoke, seconded, and Mr. Crum
Ewing, M.P., the Rev. Mr. Newman Hall, and Mr. Mason
Jones supported the resolution, which was also unani-
mously adopted, and the proceedings were brought to a
close with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman.

Awful Suicide of Admiral Robert Fitzroy.

A sensation, which it is almost impossible to de-
scribe, has been caused throughout the whole of the
Norwood district, and, when this notice becomes
public, will be shared with equal pain by the whole
of the scientific world. Admiral Robert Fitzroy,
the great prognosticator of the weather, has de-
stroyed his life by cutting his throat with a razor.
The sad event took place at Lyndhurst House,
Norwood, Surrey, yesterday morning.
