COVENTRY.

In compliance with a numerously-signed requisi-
tion, the Mayor (Mr. R. H. Minster) convened a
meeting of the citizens at SL Mary's Hall, Coventry,
on Thursday, fox the purpose of passing a resolution
of sympathy with the American Government and
people under the great national calamity which has
just befallen them in the assassination of President
Lincoln. There was a large attendance of the clergy
and laity of the city.

The Rev. T. SHEEPSHANKS, rector of St. John's,
moved the following resolution :

" That the citizens of Coventry, in public meeting
assembled, do hereby wish to convey to the Ameri-
can people their grief and horror at the atrocious
and cowardly assassination of President Lincoln,
their single-minded, kind-hearted, and noble Presi-
dent; and their deepsympathywith the Government
under the loss of one whose firm, mild, and conci-
liatory character had won the respect and admira-
tion of both friends and enemies."

The resolution was seconded by Mr. J. Pears,
J.P., supported by the Rev. E. H. Delf, Dissenting
minister, and carried unanimously.

HUDDERSFIELD.

At a general meeting of the Improvement Com-
missioners (the chief local representative body) held
on Wednesday, the Chairman (Mr. J. Turner) an-
ticipated the ordinary business by suggesting that
they should show their sympathy with the American
people on this melancholy occasion.
Although the commissioners had declined to take
any official notice of the death of Mr. Cobden, from
a belief that they best served the interests of the
town by confining them solely to the duties they
were especially appointed to fulfil, the Chairman's
suggestion was at once acted upon.
Mr. JOSHUA HOBSON moved :

" That the Huddersfield Improvement Commis-
sioners, in monthly meeting assembled, feel that
they cannot but give expression to their feelings of
horror and indignation at the atrocious acts by
which the United States of America have been sud-
denly deprived of their late President, and by which
the lives of Mr. Secretary Seward and his two sons
have been endangered ; and the Commissioners
would also show their deep sympathy with the
people of the United States and with the widow of
the late President Lincoln in the irreparable loss
which they have sustained by his death."
Mr. COCKING seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
It was also resolved " That copies of the resolu-
tion be forwarded to Mr. Stephenson, the consular
agent at Huddersfield, for transmission to President
Johnson and Mr. Lincoln," which was seconded by
Mr. DE TON and carried.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE,

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 Blbs.,
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-breds 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 Gs. Bd. to Bs. per 81bs.,
showing a decline of 2d. to 4d. per 81bs. from Monday
last.

Calves met a slow sale, at Thursday's decline in prices,
of 6d. per 81bs. The top price was ss. per 81bs. The sup-
ply on offer was only moderate.

Prime small pigs were firm in prices, but large pigs
were on dull inquiry.

Mr. Slidell on the Late Assassination,

-+-

The following letter was written by Mr. Slidell,
in reply to an invitation from the Rev. Archer
Gurney to attend a funeral service on account of
the death of President Lincoln in the Protestant
church, Paris :

" Paris, April 28.
"My dear Sir,—No one could have heard with
greater horror and regret than I the intelligence of
the atrocious crimes perpetrated at Washington.
N o one could repudiate with sterner indignation the
idea that the assassins had received prompting or
encouragement from friends of the Confederate
cause. Perhaps no two prominent persons of the
Federal Government could have been selected
who excited in a less degree feelings of personal
hostility and vindictiveness than President Lincoln
and his Secretary of State. lam much obliged
to you for inviting me and my family to
assist at the solemn service which you propose
to hold to-morrow at your chapel, and could we be
present to manifest simply the feelings which I have
briefly expressed we would not hesitate to kneel
with you in prayer for the souls of the victims. But
reflection will, I am sure, satisfy you that our pre-
sence on the melancholy occasion would be subject
to various and unnatural misconstructions, received
on the part of some as a hypocritical display of re-
gret we did not feel, by others as a virtual acknow-
ledgment of the injustice of • the cause in the de-
fence of which so many noble martyrs have fallen,
and as a tacitly implied acquiescence in the course
of Policy pursued by Mr. Lincoln since his accession
to power on the 4th of March, 1861. I will take
Pleasure in compliance with your request, to let any
Confederate friends whom I see to-day know of the
intended ceremony.—Believe me, very sincerely,
your friend and servant,

" JOHN SLIDELL."

M. LAVESSIERE.—This distinguished tenor, who
has been singing at the Oxford Music Hall for
some time back, with the greatest possible eclut, will con-
clude his engagement in the course of the present week,
and. return, We believe, to the Theatre Lyrique, Paris,
L'which theatre he left when ho came over to England. M
ave!siere, by his fine, impassioned stlye and genuine ex-
sin Qualen, has really taught our phlegmatic artists how to

PROSPECTUS.

This Company is formed for the purpose of transacting
the safe and highly profitable business of Commission Mer-
chants and Financial Agents in connexion with the Trade
and Commerce of the Ottoman Empire.
TRADE OF THE EMPIRE.
Throughout the greater part of the Empire the soil and
climate permit of the almost inexhaustible production, in
excess of the wants of the inhabitants, of those ordinary
raw materials which form everywhere the great staples of
food and manufacture. Grain, wool, cotton, hemp, hides,
tallow, are produced in abundance ; while in addition,
Turkey yields in profusion those rarer articles of mer-
chandise, such as drugs, dyes, gums, fruit, vegetable oils,
silk, sugar, and tobacco, which can only be abundantly
and profitably produced under conditions of special advan-
tage of climate and geographical position.
In the year 1860 it was estimated that the annual trade
of Turkey with foreign countriesamounted to £48,000,000,
and that between the Provinces to £20,000,000 ; giving a
total of £68,000,000 per annum. Judging, however, from
the increase of the trade between Turkey and Great Bri-
tain during the past few years, this total must now be con-
siderably increased. In the year 1854 the imports and
exports between Great Britain and Turkey (exclusive of
Egypt) amounted to £6,251,131, and in 1859 to £9,620,536
—but in the year 1863, according to the last annual state-
ment published by the Board of Trade, they increased to
£13,303,682. The trade between this country and Egypt
has also risen from £11,118,922 in the year 1859, and
£10,796,971 in 1861, to £21,006,964 in 1863, making a total
between the Ottoman Empire and Great Britain alone of
£34,310,646. This increasing trade is capable of almost
indefinite extension.

MARKETS—This Day.

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 advanca in prices from Monday last of is. per
quarter, making an improvement, as compared with the
rates current on Monday last, of 2s. per quarter.
The market was but moderately supplied with foreign
wheat, both as regards American and Continental pro-
duce. The trade was firm for all qualities, and for good
and fine old samples rather more money was obtained.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request,
and both wheat and spring corn fully supported previous

rates.
The supply of barley on sale was very modcrat. All
descriptions fully supported previous quotations, and a fair
average business was transacted.
The malt trade was quiet on former terms.
With oats the market was well supplied. Most &scrip-
tions were in fair average request at full currencies.
Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm at
fully late rates.
Peas commanded the extreme prices of Monday last.
The market was scantily supplied with all qualities.
About an average business was transacted in flour. No
change took place in the prices realised. Barrel flour was
in very short supply.

of the closing of the Stock Exchange, bills have not

As usual on the Ist May, the Stock Exchange has

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 1, 1865.

The anniversary dinner of the Royal Academy is
generally considered one of the most interesting fes-
tivals of the season, and the one which took place
on Saturday was not deficient in brilliancy or attrac-
tion, but, on the contrary, was unusually well
attended. Sir CHARLES EASTLAKE, the President
of the Royal Academy, was in the chair, and ac-
quitted himself admirably of - his onerous duties.
The Archbishop of YORK made a brief but most
effective address, in which he said that ministers of
religion must take an interest in artists and their
works. -The beautiful works then around them
would, the Archbishop observed, be soon scattered ,
through many homes, and there perform their task
of refining and elevating the tastes and sentiments
of their occupants. There is also another cause for
rejoicing in the study of such works as those
alluded to, which the Archbishop wisely referred to,
that art which might do so much to corrupt
the people was here potent to raise
to refine them. The President, in proposing the
toast of the noblemen and gentlemen who honoured
the Academy
with their presence that day, made a
interesting discourse as to the universal spread
vOf the
love of the fine arts which might be observed
in many quarters. The time was, as Sir CHARLES
etaphaticany said, when the appreciation of the
fine arts was barely acknowledged by many, indeed
they looked upon it much as Goldsmith did his love
of poetry, which lie called

My shame in crowds, my solitary pride."
This period has now happily passed away in a great
measure, and for this change we can hardly be too
thankful, because the benefits are immeasurable
that must accrue to the community from the in-
creased spread of the fine arts and the consequent
development of the tastes of the people. Schools
of Design, as Sir CHARLES truly observed,
have done a great deal in the furtherance of
the good cause, and those noblemen and others
who have been sedulous in supporting these schools
have been benefactors to their fellow countrymen
and shining lights in their generation, since they
have been pioneers to the path of progress. These
" distinguished and disinterested individuals," as the
President of the Royal Academy truly called them,
are entitled to recognition for their services, and it
must be a sufficient reward to them to feel that
they have done so much to benefit mankind. Earl
