LONDON FEVER HOSPITAL.—The annual meet-
ing of the friends and subscribers to the above
hospital was held yesterday evening in the " Freemasons'
Tavern," Great Queen-street. The chair was taken by
the president, the Right Hon. the Earl of Devon. From
statement of accounts submitted to the meeting by Mr.
Owen, honorary secretary to the charity, it appeared that
the receipts up to the 31st of December last, including a
balance of £534 12s. Ifd. from the previous year, amounted
to £8,953 7s. 6d., and the expenditure to £7,513 4s. Bd.
There had been invested during the year the sum of £5OO.
and the balance at present in hand approaches £l,OOO. Dr'
Buchanan read a lengthy and elaborate medical report/
which stated that the number of patients admitted during
the year had been 3,355, being a larger number than the
aggregate admission for sixty years. Of the patients
taken in during the year, 1,961 were suffering from tyPhtle
fever, and of this number 9 per cent. had died. The
deaths in 247 cases of scarlet fever admitted were seven
per cent. of the patients under treatment. A large nuel-
ber of patients suffering from other kinds of fever, small-
pox, and measles were also admitted. During the gear
not a single applicant for admission was turned away'
and the hospital receives patients from all the districts.
in London, with the exception of Lewisham, Poplar, and
Mile-end. In order to meet the increased wants of the
charity, tho foundation of a building capable of
bold-
ing 120 patients had been laid, and tho new extensions
cost somewhere about £5,000. The hospital is at present,
considering the pressure upon its working powers, in
very efficient state. Upon the motion of Mr. Lowe, seconded
by Dr. Finch, the report was unanimously adopted. The
Right Hon the Earl of Devon was then re-elected pre:
sident of the charity; and the name of the present Lord
Monteagle was substituted for that of his grandfather, se
one of the vice-presidents. The names of Lord Overstone
and the Marquis of Westminster were also added to the
list of vice-presidents, and the thanks of the committee
were given to Mr. Charles Dickens, who was re-elected
vice-president, for an article published by him-,in All the
Year Round, setting forth the merits of the chatty. Messrs.
Dimsdale and Owen were unanimously re-appointed trea-
surer and secretary, and other officers having been chosen,
the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the Earl of
Devoll for presiding.

KENSINGTON IMPROVEMENT BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Sir P. BURRELL moved that it be road a second time
that day six months.

Mr. D. BROMLEY seconded the amendment. A
great number of poor persons would be displaced by the
bill, and no adequate compensation was provided for
them as the law now stood.

Mr. TITE said the improvement which was undertaken
by the Metropolitan Board of Works was a most impor-
tant one, and that it was greatly needed. Any person
going by the main road from Knightsbridge to Kensing-
ton would at once see the benefit that would be derived
from the proposition. Although there would be a certain
number of poor persons removed by the improve-
ment, the Board of Works would fully com-
pensate them for the inconvenience. The leading
inhabitants were in favour of the projected improvement,
and a largo mooting which was favourable to the bill was
held only as late as last Saturday. He did not know the
bill was opposed, but he hoped the amendment would be
withdrawn, and the notice for the second reading would
be agreed to.

The amendment was then, by leave, withdrawn, and the
bill read a second time.

THE GBEATNES OF MAN.

This is no time to say that human glory is but dust and
ashes, that we mortals are no more than shadows in pur-
suit of shadows. How mean a thing were man if there
were not that within him which is- higher than himself—
if he cculd not master the illusions of sense, and discern
the connections of events by a suporior light which comes
from God. Ho so shares the divine impulses that he has
power to subject interested passions to lova of country
and personal ambition to the ennoblement of man. Not
in vain has Lincoln lived, for he has helped to make this
republic an example of justice, with no caste but the caste
of humanity. The heroes who led our armies and ships
into battle—Lyon, M'Pherson, Reynolds, Sedgwick,
Wadsworth, Foote, Warde, and their compeers—and fell
in the service, did not die in vain ; they and the myriads
of nameless victors, and he, the chief martyr, died wil-
lingly "that Gbvernment of the people, by the people, and
for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

THE JUST DIED FOR TIIE UNJUST.

The assassination of Lincoln, who was so free from
malice, has by some mysterious influence struck the
country with solemn awe, and hushed, instead of excit-
ing, the passion for revenge. It seems as if the just had
died for too unjust. When I think of the friends I have
lost in this war—and every one who bears me has, like
myself, lost those whom he most loved —there is no
consolation to be derived from victims on the scaffold, or
from anything but the established union of the regene-
rated nation.

THE 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 tho politics of Europe to the centre, and
from Lisbon to Pekin divided the Governments of the
world.
London, England, 1866-02-28

EARLY LIFE OF ABRAHAM 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 scat him, with an old spelling-
book, to school, and ho learned in his childhood to do
both.

When eight years old he floated down the Ohio with his
fathor 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 toiled through dense forests to the inte-
rior of Spencer County. There in the land of free labour
he grew up in a log cabin, with the solemn solitude for his
teacher in his meditative hours. Of Asiatic literature ho
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.
London, England, 1866-02-28

CONTINUANCE OF THE WAR.

The war continued, with all the peoples of the world for
anxious spectators. Its cares weighed heavily on Lincoln,
and his facewas ploughed with the furrows of thought and
sadness. With malice toward none, free from the spirit of
revenge, victory made him importunate for peace ; and his
enemies never doubted his word, or despaired of his abound-
ing clemency. He longed to utter pardon as the word for
all, but not unless the freedom of the negro should be as-
sured. The grand battles of Mill Spring, which gave us
Nashville, of Fort Donelson, Malvern Hill, Antietam,
Gettysburgh, the Wilderness of Virginia, Winchester,
Nashville, the capture of New Orleans, Vicksburgb,
Fort Fisher, the march from Atlanta, and the capture of
Savannah and Charleston, all foretold the issue. Still
more, the self-regeneration of Missouri, the heart of the
continent; Maryland, whose sons never heard the mid-
night bells chime so sweetly as when they rang cut to
earth and heaven that, by the voice of her own people, she
took her place among the free ; of Tennessee, which passed
through fire and blood, through sorrows and the shadow
of death, to work out her own deliverance, and by the
faithfulness of her own sons to renew her youth like the
eagle, proved that victory was deserved and would be
worth all that it cost. If words of mercy, uttered as they
were by Lincoln on the waters of Virginia, were defiantly
repelled, the armies of the country, moving with one will,
went as the arrow to its mark, and without a feeling of re-
venge struck a death-blow at rebellion.

NORTH-WESTERN.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Leeds on
Thursday ; Mr. Burkill in the chair.
The report stated that there would be a dividend
of 5 per cent. on £471,336 A consolidated stock
(guaranteed), and of 1i per cent. per annum on
£314,224 B consolidated stock ; and that, owing to
the English and Scotch tariff agreement, this com-
pany did not receive its rights and assume its place
as part of the Midland through route to Scotland.
The report was adopted, and the dividends were
declared.

UPRISING OF TILE PEOPLE.

It is the glory of the late President that ho had perfect
faith in the perpetuity of the Union. Supported in ad-
vance by Douglas, who spoke as with the voice of a
million, he instantly called a meeting of Congress, and
summoned the people to come and repossess the forts,
places, and property which had been seized from the
Union. The men of the North were trained in
schools; industrious and frugal; many of them deli-
cately bred, their minds teeming with ideas and fertile
in plans of enterprise ; given to the culture of the
arts ; eager in the pursuit of wealth, yet employing
wealth less for ostentation than for developing the re-
sources of their country ; seeking happiness in the calm
of domestic life ; and such lovers of peace that for genera-
tions they had been reputed unwarlike. Now, at the cry
of their country in its distress, they rose up with unap-
peasable patriotism ; not hirelings—the purest and of the
b blood in the land; sons of a pious ancestry, with a
cl r perception of duty, unclouded faith and fixed resolve
to succeed, they thronged round the President to support
the wronged, the beautiful flag of the nation. The halls
of theological seminaries sent forth their young men, whose
lips were touched with eloquence, whose hearts kindled
with devotion to serve in the ranks, and make their way
to command only as They learned the art of war. Strip-
lings in the colleges, as well the most gentle and the most
studious ; those of sweetest temper and loveliest character
and brightest genius passed from their classes to the camp.
The lumberman sprang forward from the forests, tho me-
chanics from their benches, where they had been trained
by the exercise of political rights to share the life and hope
of the Republic, to feel their responsibility to their fore-
fathers, their posterity and mankind, went forth resolved
that their dignity as a constituent part of this Republic
should not be impaired. Farmers and sons of farmers left
the land but half ploughed, the grain but half planted, and,
taking up the musket, learned to face without fear the pre-
sence of peril and the coming of death in the shocks of
war, while their hearts were still attracted to the charms
of their rural life, and all the Itender affections of home.
Whatever there was of truth, and faith, and public love in
the common heart broke out with one expression. The
mighty winds blow from every quarter to fan the flame of
the sacred and unquenchable fire.

GROWTH OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC.

In the fulness of time a republic rose up 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 religion 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 sages, 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 mon. She
intrusted the guardianship of established rights to law ;
the movements of reform to the spirit of the people, and
drew her forco 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.
exer-
cises were commenced by music, The
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 4.nrrica,—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 1
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.

The Royal Mail Company's steamship City of Washing-
ton, from New York on the 17th inst., arrived at Queens-
town at 6 30 a.m. to-day with the mails, 123 passengers,
5130,080 in specie, and £3,142 sterling. She landed the

NEW YORK, Feb. 17, Morning.

The Reconstruction Committee have decided to report
in favour of the 2dmission of 'Tennessee, on the ground
that she, having applied for admission into the Union, and
her constitution being Republican, she shall be admitted on
on the same terms and for the same reasons as territories

The Tennessee delegation, however, ask admission to
Congress, and deny that the State was ever out of tho
Union, or that Congress can legislate for Tennessee as for
a territory.

Mr. Bancroft's remarks upon foreign Governments in
his oration upon the late Mr. Lincoln's birthday have
caused much indignation among the diplomatic corps.
The Austrian Minister has protested officially to Mr
Seward against Mr. Bancroft's statement that the Emperor
Maximilian was an Austrian adventurer.

Mr. Seward refused to accept the protest, on the ground
that Austria had declared she would remain foreign to all
Mexican matters. This theory the Austrian Minister re-
fused to accept, since it confounded the person of a member
of the Austrian Imperial family with his political position,
and his Excellency persisted in protesting against the
impropriety of Bancroft's remarks.

Sir Frederick Bruce refused an invitation to dinner x
which Mr. Bancroft was to be present.

The Spanish frigates Carmin and Isabel Catolina have
arrived at New York, and will be thoroughly overhauled
before their departure.
The City of London and the Bremen have arrived out.

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 tarm 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 cwn. All people sent
him their benedictions. And at the moment of the height
of his fame, to which his humanity and modesty added
charms, he fell by the hand of the assassin ; and the only
triumph awarded him was the march to the grave.

THE HON. GRANTLEY BERKELEY'S LIFE AND
RECOLLECTIONS. Vols. 3And 4, completing the Work.—
" It is almost unnecessary (says the Globe) to review these
volumes. The author in his former publication gives a
sufficient taste of his quality.. In the present work we
have less of personal biography and more of the recollec-
tions. The author's knowledge of distinguished persons
is naturally very great, and whether he narrates the dis-
comfiture of an aspiring feminine diplomatist by such an
astute veteran as Talleyrand or the adventures of a sport-
ing hero he is equally at home. There is no doubt that in
these sketches we have much that is worth preserving of
the life and manners of the upper ten thousand during the
last half century."
DUCHY OF LANCASTER.—The annual -account for
the Duchy of Lancaster has been laid before Parliament.
The receipts in the year 1865, chiefly from ren tsand profits
of courts, and royalties and rents of mines, :amounted to
£40,098. The ordinary expenditure,
mainly fol: salaries and
superannuations, was £13,674. There was aieo an outlay
of £4,453 for restoration of the Savoy Chap, al, !out this was
almost entirely covered by the insurance. Au in the pre-
ceding year, the sum of £26,000 was paid, e ois net income,
to the Keeper of her Majesty's Privy
Purse, _for her Ma-
jesty's use.

TERRITORIAL EXTENT OF THE REPUBLIC.

Republics had hitherto been limited to small cantons of
cities and their dependencies—America doing that of
which the like lad 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
boughs were like the goodly cedars, and reached into both
oceans. The fame of this only daughter of freedom wont
out into all the lands of the earth ; from her the human
race drew hope.
London, England, 1866-02-28

MS INAUGURATION.

The fourth of March came. With instinctive wisdom,
the new President, speaking to the people on taking the
oath of office, put aside every question that divided the
country, and gained a right to universal support, by plant-
ing himself on the single idea of Union. That Union he
declared to be unbroken and perpetual ; and he announced
his determination to fulfil " the simple duty of taking are
that the laws be faithfully executed in all the States."
Seven days later the Convention of Confederate States
unanimously adopted a Constitution of their own; and the
new Government was authoritatively announced to be
founded on the idea that slavery is the natural and normal
condition of the negro race. The issue was whether the
great Republic was to maintain its providential place in
the history of mankind, or a rebellion founded on negro
slavery gain a recognition of its principle throughout the
civilised world. To the disaffected Lincoln had said,
"You can have no conflict without being yourselves the
aggressors." To fire the passions of the Southern portion
of the people, the Confederate Government chose to become
aggressors ; and on the morning of the 12th of April began
the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and compelled its
evacuation.

RAIL WAY BRIDGES.

Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether his attentionthad been called to the danger
to the horse traffic of the metropolis which arose from the
exposed state of the railway bridges crossing many of the
leading streets ; and whether it was his intention to take
such steps as would insure the exction of screens upon
each of such bridges ?
Mr. M. GIBSON said his attention had been called to
the matter by one individual. When the local authorities
made representations to the Board of Trade they had the
power of ordering the erecting of screens, but the Govern-
ment had no authority to act on the representation of a
private person.

HIS EDUCATION.

Otherwise his education was altogether American. The
Declaration of Independence was his compendium of poli-
tical wisdom, the life of Washington his constant study,
and something of Jefferson and Madison reached him
through Henry Clay, whom ho honoured from boyhood.
For the rest, from day to day ho lived tho life of the Ame-
rican people, walked in its light, reasoned with its reason,
thought with its power of thought, felt the beatings of its
mighty heart, and so was in every way a child of naturo—
a child of the West—a child of America.
