This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orpha'i daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of expense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
Tne Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and loss f life at sea, and to enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sa,lors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.
Subscriptions thankfully received by the bankers., Messrs.
Barclay, Bevan, and Co., Lombard-street, and by the Secre-
tary, at the Offices, No. 77, Cornhill.

The MAYOR said it was to him, as he was sure it
was to all, a source of deep and painful regret that
they should have had occasion to hold that meeting
in Birmingham that day. (Applause.) When the
news first arrived in the country so improbable did
it appear that so great and able a man as the late
President of the United States should have been
deprived of life by the hands of an assassin, and at
such a momentous period of his country's history,
that people at first refused to believe the intelli-
gence until the subsequent telegrams confirmed the
sad news. (Applause.) They now knew but too
well Abraham Lincoln no longer lived to assist by
his wise counsels and advice in guiding and direct-
ing the affairs of his country through the perils with
which she had during the last four years been sur-
rounded, and from which she was just on the very
eve of emerging. (Cheers.) As soon as he heard
the melancholy and painful intelligence he felt it his
duty at once to convene the meeting for the pur-
pose of giving his fellow-townsmen an opportunity
not only of expressing their horror and indignation
—(applause)--that Abraham Lincoln had been de-
prived of life by the hands of a cowardly assassin,
but also of giving them an opportunity of moving
and forwarding a resolution of sympathy and. con- ,
dolence to the people of the United States, express-
ing their deep regret for the horrible loss which they
had sustained. (Applause.) Whatever the opi-
nions of the people of this country might be, whe-
ther sympathising with the North or with the
South, Abraham Lincoln had gained the respect
and esteem of Englishmen for his straightfor-
ward honesty, industry, and great firmness 'of
purpose —(cheers) —and for his great firmness of
purpose in carrying out what he believed to be right,
and, above all, for his constant advocacy of a
policy of conciliation towards this country, and at
all times endeavouring as much as possible to pre-
serve friendly relations with England. (Cheers.)
They knew that there was but one feeling through-
out the length and breadth of the land, and that
was a feeling of indignation that he should have
been deprived of life at the hands of an assassin.
(Applause.) He would not detain them longer
with remarks of his own, but would submit a reso-
lution for their approval, which would be seconded
by Mr. Jaffray. The resolution was :
" That this meeting desires to express the deepest regret
at the irreparable loss which the people of the United States
of America have sustained by the untimely death of Presi-
dent Lincoln ; that this meeting regards with horror and
detestation the crime by which the President's life was
sacrificed; and that, on behalf and in the name of the in-
habitants of Birmingham, this meeting respectfully offers
to the Government and the people of the United States the
most sincere and earnest sympathy under the calamity which
has befallen them, and that an address of sympathy be also
transmitted to Mr. Seward." (Cheers.)

Mr. JAFFRAY, in seconding the resolution, said
that a debt of gratitude was due to the mayor for
affording the town over which he presided an oppor-
tunity of sending across the Atlantic a resolution of
sympathy with their fellow men—their brethren in
laws, language, and blood—in the midst of the
great calamity which had befallen them. (Cheers.)
It was fitting at such a time as that, when no ques-
tion of sympathy with North or South was involved,
when it was a question of civilisation and humanity
altogether—(applause)—that anything savouring of
party expression or feeling should be excluded alto-
gether from the proceedings. The time might
come when those who agreed with him in the views
he held of the struggle across the Atlantic might
consider it their duty to express their feeling of
delight that the horrible war had been put an end
to. Their duty was, however, a more solemn one
on that occasion ; it was that of sending out the
unanimous expression of their horror at the great
crime which had been committed ; aye, and com-
mitted in the much-abused name of liberty—(loud
applause)—and of their sympathy with a people
emerging from one of the greatest calamities that
ever fell upon a nation, complicated by having at
the moment—the supreme moment, as it were, of
its history—the directing head struck down before
them by an assassin's hand. (Loud applause.)
There might be differences of opinion, and there
were, respecting the character of Abraham Lincoln,
but in his opinion history would record of him that
he was a great statesman. (Applause.) Let them

just think of the circumstances under which he was
called to occupy the position of Chief Magistrate of
that great nation over which he presided for four
years. A man of humble birth, of scanty education,
of little political experience, with no courtly man-
ners, and plunged at the moment of his election into
the struggles of a contest gigantic not only in its
proportions, but in its results, and throughout all
that contest preserving his humble attitude and his
pure heart, never elated in the hour of triumph, and
firm, yet temperate, in the day of defeat. (Cheers.)
But the last and crowning glory of all was the lat-
ter period of Abraham Lincoln's life. It was that
which had won for him the affection and respect of
all men, whether partisans of North or South.
Stanton said of Lincoln, in the touching and simple
despatch to the American Legation in England, in
his later moments he spoke kindly of Lee—(cheers)
—and all his thoughts tended towards conciliation.
There was something of the fine old Puritan in that
frame of mind. (Loud applause.) The moment Lee
laid down his arms and declared the game had been
played out, Lincoln's thought was not of humiliat-
ing him as an enemy, but receiving him back within.
the pale of the Constitution as an erring brother.
(Applause.) Could any one doubt that a man like
that, dying with such thoughts in his breast, was
worthy of the admiration and respect of universal
humanity ? Under these circumstances he came be-
fore them—on his first appearance to speak in a
town-hall meeting—to express on behalf of those
whom he had consulted in the matter their earnest
sympathy for the American people under the great
calamity, and their utter detestation and abhor-
rence of the manner in which the freedom of access
to their statesmen had been abused. (Cheers.) There
was one word more he had to say, and it was a word
of caution. At the early part of the struggle there
was no man more denounced than Abraham Lin-
coln, but they were premature in their judg-
ment. At the present time, according to the Con-
stitution, the Vice-President, Andrew Johnson, had
succeeded to the Presidential chair. Little was
known of him ; he hoped, therefore, that until they
knew more all expressions of opinion as to his fit-
ness for the discharge of the duties of his high office
would be suspended.

The resolution was carried unanimously.
The Rev. Mr. DALE moved, and Mr. Alderman

HAWKES seconded, a resolution expressive of deep
regret at the attempt made on the life of Mr. Seward,
and of hope for his recovery. This was carried.
It was also resolved that an address be framed, and
the Mayor was requested to transmit copies of it to
Mr. Stanton and to Mr. Adams, the American
Minister in London.
