Fall in Dry Goods.
There has been decided decline in the

PREsIDENT LINGoIN's ISAUoTRAL IN Eng
LAND. Lengthy editorials from leading
London journals, reviewing PRESIDENT Lin
coins inaugural, are reproduced iIls our
Northern exchanges, but we have not the
space at command to give these articles in
extenso. The Times says the inaugural re-
veals Mr. Lineoln's disposition and opini-
ons more completely than many verbose
compositions which haye ploeeedea from
his predecessors. The Times admits that he
has fulflled the duties which destiny i'm
posed Oh him with frnlness and conscien-
tiougness, but without any exhilaration at
success or Banguine expectations Of coming
prosperity. This address appears to be in
tended to repress the more sanguine expect
ations Of the Northern people, and to inti-
mate to them that fresh eyertions and ser
vice will be necessary to tie attainment Of
their object. The Daily News says the in
augnral is humane, modest and firm in
tone.
