THE GENERAL FEELING.
From London letter to the New York
Tribune giving graphic description of the
grief and indignation manifested on hear
ing the news, we extrac! the following:
l. The nevs reached US on the morning of
Wednesday, the 26th, between the hours
of 10 and IL. Then there arose rumor
of it in the city proper, trsces6le either to
Pesbody's Banking House In Broad street.
st the back of the Exchange, or the United
States Consulate in Grace Church street
where soon the appearance of the Ameri-
can flag at hslf-mAst afforded melancholy
confirmation of the report. At first 1t

Times put the matter beyond question.
The paper (which sold IS high Is a hall
crown copy) was resd aloud on street
corners, in doorwAys, and the porticoes oi
public buildings, 70 rapidly increasing

/ news-rooms were crowded with purchasers
, and the curious, the first clutching at the
| half.folded papers and hardly remonstrst-
, ing at the overcharge, the latter all round
} eyed and open. mouthed inquiry. This

: indicates q far higher degree Of interest
, than it would do in Democratic New York
| where we are accustomed to speak to the
r next man without introduction.) Ejscula
