LINCOLN'S ASSASSINATION.

Where, in the history of nations, had a chief magistrate
possessed more sources of consolation and joy than Lin-
coln ? His countrymen had shown their love by choosing
him for a second term of service. The raging war that
had divided the country had failed, and private grief was
hushed by the grandeur of its results. The nation had its
new birth of freedom, soon to be secured forever by an
amendment of the Constitution. His persistent gentleness
had conquered for him a kindlier feeling on the part of
the South. His scoffers among the grandees of Europe
began to do him honour. The labouring classes every-
where saw in his advancement their own. All people sent
him their benedictions. And at the moment of the height
of his fame, to which hie humanity and modesty added
charms, ho fell, by the hand of the assassin ; and the only
triumph awarded him was the march to the grave.

As the first payments of annuities and rent under tho
arrangements entered into with regard to the Joliette pro-
perty do not commence until the Ist October, 1867, and
become payable only in the subsequent half-year, viz.,
the Ist April, 1868, the Directors have decided to pay in-
terest at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for two years,
from March, 1866, on the capital called up, and for which
four interest warrants will be attached to the share certifi-
cates at the time of issue (which will be charged to land
purchases account). After that date the revenue from the
Joliette lands, the rentals from the other properties, and
profits on further sales, will be applicable for dividend or
bonuses.

TILE WAR. A WORLD-WIDE WAR.

For a time the war was thought to be confined to our
own domestic affairs ; but it was soon seen that it in-
volved the destinies of mankind, and its principles and
causes shook the politics of Europe to the centre, and
from Lisbon to Pekin divided the Governments of the
world.

CRYSTAL PALACE AND SOUTH LOND ON.

The report states that the stations and the whole
of the works to be executed by this company have
been completed. Important arrangements had been
made by which the traffic from the South Eastern,
the Great Northern, the Metropolitan, and probably
the South-Western Railway would also be brought
over the line. Those arrangements, however, could
not be carried out, nor the traffic be properly de-
veloped, until the junction with the South-Eastern
Railway was completed, and also the line between
Peckham and Walworth. In the meantime the
line was worked for the benefit of the contractors,
who guaranteed and paid the interest on the B
stock. The capital account showed that £819,560
had been expended.

JAPAN.

Lord STANLEY asked tho Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether his attention had been called to statements made
in the London and China Telegraph of the sth inst. in rag-

once to the exchange question in Japan ; and asked him
to produce a copy of tho report made by Mr. Arbuthnot of
the Treasury on the operation of the present system
of appropriating the profits arising out of the
exchange ; and whether any sums bad been carried to the
credit of the public accounts, out of the profit arising from
the difference between the current value of the Japanese
Ichibou and the rate at which it is supplied to the naval,
military, and civil services?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his
attention had been called to the subject. He had no ob-
jection to the production of the report of Mr. Arbuthnot,
and it would be well that that report should be relied upon
for information. No sums bad been carried to the public
account arising out of the difference of the value of the
Japanese Ichibou and the rate at which it was supplied to
the naval and military services.

EARLY LIFE OF ABRAIIAII LINCOLN.

The choice of America for President fell on a man born
west of the Alleghanies, in the cabin of poor people of
Hardin County, Kentucky—Abraham Lincoln.
His mother could read, but not write ; his father could
do neither; but his parents sent him, with an old spelling-
book, to school, and he learned in his childhood to do
both.

When eight years old he floated down the Ohio with his
father on a raft which bore the family and all their posses-
sions to the shores of Indiana; and, child as he was, he
gave help as they toilod through dense forests to the inte-
rior of Spencer County. There in the land of free labour
ho grew up in a log cabin, with the solemn solitude for his
teacher in his meditative hours. Of Asiatic literature he
knew only the Bible ; of Greek, Latin, and medieval, no
more than the translation of ".sop's Fables;" of English,
John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress." The traditions of
George Fox and William Penn passed to him dimly along
the lines of two centuries through his ancestors, who were
Quakers.

CONCLUSION.

As the sum of all, the hand of Lincoln raised the flag:
the American people was the hero of the war ; and there-
fore tho result is a new era of republicanism. The dis-
turbances in the country grow not out of anything repub-
lican, but out of slavery, which is a part of the system of
hereditary wrong; and the expulsion of this domestic
anomaly opens to the renovated nation a career of un-
thought-of dignity and glory. Henceforth our country
has a moral unity as the land of free labour. The party
for slavery and the party against slavery are no more, and
are merged in the party of
.union and freedom. The
States which would have left us are not brought back
as conquered States, for then we should hold them
only so long as that conquest could be maintained ; but
they come to their rightful place under the Constitu-
tion, as original, necessary, and inseparable members of
the State.

We build monuments to the dead, but no monuments of
victory. We respect the example of the Romans, who
never, even in conquered lands, raised monuments of
triumph. And our generals are not to be classed in the
herd of vulgar conquerors, but are of the school of Timo-
leon and William of Orange and Washington. They have
used the sword only to give peace to their country, and re-
store her to her place in the great assembly of nations. Our
meeting closes in hope, now that a people begin to live ac-
cording to tho laws of reason, and republicanism is en-
trenched in a continent.

GROWTH OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC.

In the fulness of time a republic rose np in the wilder-
ness of America. Thousands of years had passed away
before this child of the ages could be born. From what-
ever there was of 'good in the system of former centuries
she drew her nourishment ; the wrecks of the past were
her-warnings. With the deepest sentiment of faith fixed
in her inmost nature, she disenthralled raligion from bon-
dage to temporal power that her worship might be wor-
ship only in spirit and in 'truth. The wisdom which had
passed from India through Greece, with what Greece had
added of her own ; the jurisprudence of Rome; the me-
dieval municipalities—the Teutonic method of representa-
tion ; the political experience of England—the benignant
wisdom of the expositors of the law of nature and of na-
tions in France and Holland, all shed on her their selectest
influence. She washed the gold of political wisdom from
the sands wherever it was found ; she cleft it from the
rocks ; she gleaned it among ruins. Out of all the disco-
veries of statesmen and sage; out of all the experience of
past human life, she compiled a perennial political philo-
sophy, the primordinal principles of national ethics. The
wise men of Europe sought the best government in a
mixture of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy—and
America went behind these names to extract from the
vital elements of social forms, and blend them harmo-
niously in the free commonwealth, which comes nearest
to the illustration of the natural equality of all men. She
intrusted the guardianship of established rights to law ;
the movements of reform to the spirit of the people, and
drew her force from the happy reconciliation of both.

Oration on Abraham Lincoln.

BY HON. GEORGE BANCROFT.

An oration on the life, character, and public ser-
vices of the late President Lincoln was delivered in
the Hall of Representatives of the United States,
on the 12th February, by the Hon. George Ban-
croft, the American historian, formerly Minister of
the United States to Great Britain. Vhe audience
comprised upwards of 3,000 of the most distin-
guished men of America, including President John-
son and all the members of his Cabinet, except Mr.
Seward, who was detained by illness, Lieut.-Gene-
ral Grant, and other high officers of the army and
navy, the diplomatic corps, including Sir Frederick
Bruce, the British Minister, &c., &c. The exer-
cises were commenced by music, at 20 minutes past
12, the United States' Marine Band playing the
" Miserere" from " Il Trovatore," after which the
Rev. Dr. Boynton, Chaplain of the House, delivered
a prayer.
Mr. BANCROFT then arose and delivered the fol-
lowing oration :--
"Senators, Representatives, of America,—That God
rules in the affairs of men is as certain as any truth of
physical science. On the great moving power which is
from the beginning hangs the world of the senses and the
world of thought and action. Eternal wisdom marshals the
great procession of the nations, working in patient continuity
through the ages, never halting and never abrupt, encom-
passing all events in its oversight, and ever effecting its
will, though mortals - may slumber in apathy or oppose
with madness. Kings are lifted up or thrown down, na-
tions come and go, republics flourish and wither, dynasties
pass away like a tale that is told ; but nothing is by
chance, though men in their ignorance of causes may think
so. The deeds of time are governed, as well as judged, by
the decrees of eternity. The caprice of fleeting existences
bends to the immovable omnipotence which plants its foot
on all the centuries, and has neither change of purpose nor
repose. Sometimes, like a messenger through the thick
darkness of night, it steps along mysterious ways ; but
when the hour strikes for apeople, or for mankind, to pass
into a new form of being, unseen handsdraw the bolts from
the gates of futurity; an all-subduing influence prepares
the mind of men for the coming revolution ; those who
plan resistance find themselves in conflict with the will of
Providence rather than with human devices ; and all
hearts and all understandings, most of all the opinions and
influences of the unwilling, are wonderfully attracted and
compelled to bear forward the change which becomes more
an obedience to the law of universal nature than submis-
sion to the arbitration of man.

TERRITORIAL EXTENT OF THE REPUBLIC.

Republics hal hitherto been limited to small cantons of
cities and their dependencies—America doing that of
which the like had not before been known upon the earth,
or believed by kings and statesmen to be possible. Under
her auspices the vine of liberty took deep root and filled
the land—the hills were covered with its shadow—its

MARKETS,---This Day.

~~~.

MARK LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were moderate. Dry samples moved off freely
at fully late rates. For inferior produce the trade was
quiet at about stationary prices.
With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup-
plied. For most descriptions there was a fair demand, and
the quotations ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at

late rates.
The market was very moderately supplied with barley.
Malting descriptions were veil firm, and prices were is per
qr. higher than at the close of last week. Grinding and
distilling barley changed hands at fully late rates.
Malt was firm at the extreme prices of Monday.
The market was well supplied with oats; on the whole,
the trade was steady at Monday's quotations,
Both beans and peas met a slow sale at late rates.
The flour trade was quiet at previous quotations.

that Lord Russell will not peril the existence of his
Administration by attempting to legislate on any
large scale for Irish grievances. On the subject of
reform we get still less. Not a hint will the cautious
citizen let fall on that burdensome topic. As far as
he says anything at all, he leaves the impression
that no one seriously believes in a Reform Bill, or
that the passing of one this session is likely. Go-
vernment can but move with the House of Com-
mons, and on reform the House of Commons is not
very excitable. Of course a Reform Bill of some
kind is promised, and the promise must be redeemed)
but he must be a sanguine man who could hope to
see it fairly floated on to success within the next
six months. So, Mr. Goschen not being sanguine,
asks for indulgence and for permission to touch but
lightly a subject which, though " interesting,"
not vital, and may bear to be regarded without much
enthusiasm. The citizens of London took all this
inevitable water-gruel with great equanimity,
after duly applauding their cautious young Poli-
tician, elected him for the third time their mem-
ber. It is not often that a speech of that neutral
tint possesses a spark of interest ; but in this in-
stance it has its weight as indicating better than
any speaker has yet done the comparatively safe
character of the Ministerial policy. That safe
policy is a wise policy. Neither England nor Ire-
land needs any organic changes, unless they can be
so introduced and carried as to make no material
difference to existing interests. Any policy that
disturbed the even prosperity of the countli
would be a loss and not a gain. Most persons
would be very glad to see a reasonable extension,
of the suffrage, and perhaps a redistribution al
seats, but not at the expense of public contentment,
nor a disruption of the kindly unity and peace that
now exist between all classes. No real statesman
wishes to see a northern political interest created as
opposed to a southern, which would be the almost
certain consequence of a transfer of seats from
southern to more populous northern boroughs.
That changes in these matters must come in time is
not denied, but they should come by legitimate de-
velopment, not of organic change. Se with the evils
of Ireland, whatever they may be. The
improve-
ment of Irish government must be by little and
little, and much of it must originate with the Irish
themselves, and be carried to success by them. We
cannot, therefore, take it as a fault in any MinistrY
that it should apply itself to practical questions 01
the day and leave those involving great theories and
constitutional modifications to the gradual solution,
of time. It is by slow degrees that all our political
and material greatness has grown to its present
height. It is not by artificial forcing that the
British Constitution can be improved upon.

WINDSOR GRAND MILITARY STEEPLECHASES._
These celebrated races are fixed to take place on Friday and
Saturday next, and are expected to afford much excitement
at Windsor, from the number and quality of the horses
already entered. At present the ground selected is heavy,
in consequence of the late rains, but a few days' favourable
weather will bring it into fine racing order. His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales, it is expected, will be pm-
sent to see the Guards' Cup run for on the first day.
A GREEDY PAUPER.—A fellow with a beggarly
spirit, whose appetite for " relief" appears to have
been insatiable, was brought before the West Derby Poor-
law guardians on Wednesday for the investigation of cer-
tain charges of imposition. It was stated that the man,
whose name is James Lyons, had been receiving 4s. a week
from the board for seven weeks, while at the same time he
had been getting 15s. a week from his wife's mother, 4s. a
week from his brother, a ticket for groceries, and six pints
of soup weekly from the convent at Mount Vernon ; seven
pints of milk and three pints of soup weekly from a Mrs.
Robinson ; a ticket for weekly bread from Father O'Reilly,
cod livir oil (which it was said he threw away), and clean
bed-linen. Proceedings are to be taken against him for
obtaining money from the board under false pretences.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Several private bills were read a second time, including
the following:—.Commercial Union and Argus Assurance,
Delabole Railway and Dossiney Harbour, Connell Rail-
way, Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland, White-
haven and Fulness Junction, and Whitehaven, Cleator, and
Egremont Railway, &c.
THE CATTLE DISEASE.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH asked the noble earl
(Granville) whether there would be any objection on
the part of Government to lay on the table ,a
copy of the letter which it was understood
had been published by the authority of the
Government in the newspapers wh;ch had been received
from the Consul at Warsaw relative to the cattle disease in
Poland.
Earl GRAN VILLE was understood to say that the letter
would be laid before their lordships.
SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS
ACT IN IRELAND.

Earl RUSSELL said he had to inform the house that
the Government, by the advice of the Lord-Lieutenant of
Ireland and the Chief Secretary of State for the Home
Department, had decided on bringing in a bill to suspend
the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland. That bill was then
before the House of Commons, and no doubt it would
receive the sanction of that branch of the Legislature.
Ho believed that there was a necessity for the adoption of
that measure by the course of events in Ireland, and he
would ask their' lordships if it would be convenient for
them to meet to-morrow for the purpose of considering
and forwarding the bill ?
The Earl of DERBY said that of course her Majesty's
Government would have to justify the measure they had
adopted, by resorting to such stringent means and sus-
pending the sanding orders of the house. It would not
be expedient or desirable that any delay should be offered
to the Government in the passing of a bill of the present
description. He certainly would offer no opposition to the
house sitting to-morrow, and he hoped such sta:ements
would be made to their lordships as would show the actual
necessity that existed for the extreme course the Govern-
ment had adopted.
