HISTORIC PICTURES.
By A. BAILLIE COCHRANE, M.P.

From the Times, April 24.—" Mr. Baillie Cochrane has
published two entertaining volumes of studies front history.
They are lively reading. My aim,' he says, has been to de-
pict events generally known in a light and, if possible, a
picturesque manner.' Mr. Cochrane has been quite success-
ful in carrying out his intention. The work is a study of the
more interesting moments of history—what, indeed, the
author himself calls it, Historic Pictures.' "

REWARDS FOR SALVAGE SERVICES.--Yesterday,
at the Admiralty, two cases were heard in which
claims were made for salvage services. The Court awarded
a sum of £750 against the owners of a vessel called the
Martin Luther, which had been abandoned, or was a
"derelict;" and, in the case of a vessel called the Rich-
mond, the owners were ordered to pay £1,500. There
had been yellow fever on board ; the captain had died,
and only a boy was able to read the burial service. When
the Emblin came up the crew were ready to abandon her ;
she was however brought safely to England. The Court
said it was a most meritorious service, and awarded the
sum mentioned and costs.

NORWICII.

A town's meeting was held here yesterday for the
purpose of expressing sympathy with the American
people and Government for the loss which they have
sustained through the assassination of Mr. Lincoln.
The Mayor (Mr. C. E. Tuck) presided, and stated
that apologies had been received from the Bishop of
Norwich and other gentlemen, for their u9avoidable
absence. The Rev. Canon lleaviside, in a long and
able speech, moved a resolution to the effect that
the meeting desired to express the greatest regret at
the calamity brought upon the people of the United
States of America by the assassination of Presilent
Lincoln ; that the V meeting regarded with horror
and detestation the crime by which the President's
life was sacrificed, and that in the name of the citi-
zens of Norwich it begged to offer to the Govern-
ment and people of the United States the most sin-
cere and earnest sympathy with them in the loss
which had so suddenly befallen them. Mr. H.
Birkbeck seconded the resolution, which was car-

ried ; and on the motion of Mr. Chancellor Evans,
seconded by Mr. J. H. Tillett, it was agreed that
the mayor should forward a copy of it to his Excel-
lency the American Minister for transmission to
Washington. The following interesting extracts
from a letter dated New York, April 18, were read
by Mr. Tillett

" The funeral of our good President will be re-
ligiously observed, and few hearts in this city, once
so opposed to him, will fail to be sad. I never saw
anything like it ; nothing is so easy of detection as
insincere sorrow ; .nothing more plainly understood
and felt than the true sorrow of a large community.
The faces of Saturday and Sunday are never to be
forgotten. . . . If the good man, good old
honest Abe, could return to us, ho would ask out
of his brave kind heart one change only in the pre-
sent national feeling ; he would allay the deep ter-
rible frenzy of the people against his 'murderer and
his murderer's abettors. . . . The feeling is
calmer now, and by the common consent of all
parties Mr. Johnson has cordial support in his new
and most trying position, and I firmly believe all
will end well. I looked, as you know, on Mr. Lincoln
as the safety-valve of that great people. He had in
Mr. Seward the safest of his advisers. Mr. Seward
is left to us. Of Mr. Johnson I have never said
much. I respect him, however, as the only Southern
senator who in 1861 did not turn traitor. He has
worked manfully for the good cause ; he has been
in peril of life and fortune for four long years; and
it is our duty to forget his one fault and to seek
only for his virtues. Confidence is generally of slow
growth, but much is felt which four days ago was
not felt. My fears are less and my hopes are more.
By `common consent no business is done that can be
avoided ; all efforts are directed to support the credit
of the country, and it may be truly said that such
a financial exhibit as Wall-street made on the 15th,
17th, and 18th of April, the three days following
the President's assassination, was never made before
anywhere under such disturbing circumstances."

BRISTOL.

On Monday evening a meeting was held at the
Broadmead Rooms, Bristol, to express horror and
indignation at the murder of President Lincdin.
There were present in the hall, which was hung with
black cloth, between 2,000 and 3,000 persOns. The
Major, Mr. W. Naish, who presided, said that he
did so on the distinct understanding that American
politics were not to be discussed. Mr. R. Choriton,
a leading member of the Society of Friends, moved
the first resolution, expressing abhorrence of the
crime which has been committed—sincere con-
dolence with Mrs. Lincoln, and the deepest sym-
pathy with the American people in their sorrow. He
rejoiced in the outburst of feeling manifested all
over England. It had been to him some slight
alleviation of the profound grief caused in his mind
by the terrible event. Mr. C. Nash, town-council-
lots seconded the motion. He said that the warm
supporters of the. Southern cause among us had
given President Lincoln the credit of being a
thoroughly honest man and a true patriot, and that
all classes, whatever their political opinions, united
with them in their denunciation of the crime which
had been committed. Mr. Herbert Thomas sup-
ported the resolution, which was unanimously
adopted. Mr. Abraham Warren, town-councillor,
moved the second resolution, that the meeting
would convey to the American people their sincere
desire that the war may speedily terminate. It was
seconded by Mr. Handel Cossham, supported by
Dr. Davey, and carried by acclamation. A motion
to forward copies of the resolutions to the American
Minister, and a vote of thanks to the Mayor, closed
the proceedings.

vances to any drainage board to one moiety of the amount

It is positively reported that Sherman and John-

had surrendered with his army_is at present uncon-
firmed.

RepOrts receivedfrom Goldsboro' state that John-
ston's army had become demoralised since Lee's

In consequence of Johnston's repeated offer to
surrender, a portion of Grant's army has been
relieved from guarding the Southside Railroad, and
sent .to Washington.

NOTTINGHAM.

OnMonday
the Ist inst., a public meet-
ing of the inhabitants
f n verinh
of Nottingham was held in the
Exchange-hall
Purpose of expressing their
ethe
eg
opinion on the assassination of the late President of
the United States. The Mayor (Mr. W. Page)
occupied the chair, and among those present were
Aldermen Birkin, Heymann, and Sylvester, Coun-
cillors Cox, Turner, &c. Mr. Alderman Birkin
proposed the first resolution :—" That this meeting
regards with horror, indignation, and abhorrence
the appalling crime which has put an end to the life
of the great and good President Lincoln, while it
rejoices that the dastardly attempt on the life of Mr.
Seward has not resulted in his death, and trusts that
he may long be spared for the benefit of his coun-
try." The motion was carried. The following
resolutions were also unanimously adopted:—" That
this meeting desires to record its profound sympathy
with the people of the United States in this hour of
national bereavement, and more especially with the
widow of their twice-elected chief, the desolateness
of whose grief is intensified by the atrocious nature
of the deed which has snatched her husband from
her side." " That this meeting devoutly trusts the
wise, statesmanlike, and eminently conciliatory and
Christian policy of the murdered President, so
peculiarly suited to bind up the wounds of his bleed- ,
ing country, may not die with its author, but be
carried forward by his successor to the speedy esta-
blishment of peace, liberty, law, and order, and
happiness in that great country." The meeting was
very unanimous, and the Mayor was deputed to
convey the resolutions to Mr. Adams.

LEICESTER-SATURDAY.

The weather has been very hot during the week, and
tho crops are being pushed on rapidly. There was a bette r
supply of wheat at to-day's market, and business was dull
at;ls per qr. less money. The supply of barley scanty, and
prices remained much the same as last week. Fpr beans
late prices wore sustained.
Old white wheat, 42s' to 46s ; old red, 38s to 43s ; new'
white, 45s to 49s ; new red, 42s to 44s per 36 stone. Bar-

nufacture for unhealthiness, are actually more
-fiavourable than the average of the kingdom. But
in contrast to these cities we have Liverpool with
an annual death-rate of 31.25 per 1,000, Glasgow
with 30.65, and Manchester with 29.31 per 1,000
The annual average throughout the country has
been only 22.2 per 1,000 during the last ten years,
so that these three cities fall very far short of the
general rate of health. The local authorities would
do well to examine a little more closely into
the causes of this marked difference. If
the mortality of London can be brought so near
the average, and that of Birmingham is actually
less, Liverpool and Glasgow can plead no excuse
for their heavy death-rate. The marriages give, as
usual some curious revelations of the whims and
vagaries of the votaries of Hymen. The marriage
of septuagenarians seems to be coming into fashion,
177 men and 242 women over threescore years and
ten having undertaken the cares of wedded life ;
in 14 of these cases the bride or bridegroom was
over 80, and in one instance the gentleman was
92, and the lady had reached the suitable age of 81 !
Equally extravagant on the other hand are the mar-
riage of boys and girls under sixteen. And it is no
great matter for national congratulation that so
many absurd and unsuitable unions should have
taken placelat both ends of the journey of life ! It
is a curious fact for the readers of enigmas that the
gloomy autumn season is by far themost frequently
chosen for the splendours of wedding favours and
the delights of bride cake. In opposition to the
French theory of the English November, there are
15,000 more marriages in the December quarter than
in the March quarter. This can hardly be explained
by the favourite theory that the number of
marriages shows the prosperity of the working
classes, since the summer season of the year is far
more favourable to employment. The births in
the June quarter were 262,367, and it is another
curious fact that they are generally more numerous
in the first half of the year. The Registrar-General,
with his army of figures, continues to enforce a good
many morals, and the statesman reformer, the
doctor, the philanthropist, and even the meterolo-
gist, will find a good deal to ponder over in his
suggestive pages.

for lower prices.

ists, editors, leader-writers, and essayists ; here a
special correspondent just returned from chronicling
the Cornish tour of the Prince of Wales ; there a

dramatic critic, wondering whether he shall get
back to London in time to drop in at the Haymar-
ket opening ; next to him a favourite actor glory-

ing in a well-earned holiday. Here was the veteran
litterateur whose working life' has extended over

can make it, when you please, at its brightest and fullest by
peopling it with the creatures of his brilliant fancy.
(Cheers.) Lot us all wish that there may be many more of
them—the more there are the better we shall be, and—as he
always excels himself—the better they will be. Now, ladies
and gentlemen, pray listen to their praises and not to mine,
and let them, and not me, propose his health. (Cheers.)
The toast having received from all present an
enthusiastic reception, Sir Edward briefly re-
turned thanks, at the close of his remarks
suggesting that the young ladies and gentle-
men present, with all those who liked dancing, should
adjourn to the gardens outside, where, he ex-
pressed a hope, they would find some amusement !
A hope realised to the full by a joyous concourse,
who, until the sun went down, enjoyed al fresco
quadrilles, waltzes, and Sir Roger de Coverlies in
the green pleasaunce of a quaint old bowling-
green surrounded by walls of luxuriant holly-hedge
--the music of the dance being performed by Mr.
Godfrey's matchless band of the Grenadier Guards.
And so ended—late on Saturday—the happy day
passed at Knebworth by the two hundred partici-

country to the United States.
