saying ip the course of his remarks:
1T is a fortunate circumstance that
in taking the guidance of public affairs
we do so during period of peace
1t is this very month fifty years since
tho treaty Of peace was signed with
Franco. That pence has been fruit
full in benefits, but never more than
within the last few years, when our
relations with France have been cx-
tended and strengthened to such a
degree thai we may hope that the two
nations, having learned to esteem one
another's great qualities in war, will
proceed together in peace, and that
for fifty years to come they will be
moro friendly than they have hitherto
been. [Checrs. For tho last few
years, on the occasion Of these meet.
ings, wc have had to lament the civil
war which dosolated the United States
of America. That warts happily now
at an end, and | trust that that great.
Republic, having freed itself from the
guilt and stain of slavery, will contin.

for centuries to come, Cheers -
Such at loastis the wish of Englishmen,

for myself that | cannot abandon those

plcation of these principles, which is

unwarrantablo in me were | now to
cntor upon any consideration of the
measures that the Government may
think proper to introduce. [Cbeers.]

THE STAMP TAX If we rely upon
Washington letters, Congress will at
an early day, repeal the stamp tax, so
far as IL relates to checks, due bills,
patent medicines, and other small mat
tiers where tho amount is not more
than few cents on each article. 1t
was o.ght at one time that the en-.
tire stamp tax would DO abolished du-
ring the approaching session, but the
Commission appointed by Congress
to remodel the system of internal rev.
enue will report in favor retaining the
stamp duty ON illegal deeds, mortga-
ges, SUGGESTIONS, &c, from which the
amount yielded to the Government is
so large that it could not well be SPAR

"Truly' writes Mrs. Lincoln, " no sorrow

hearted over this overwhelming affection as
when the tragedy first occurred, and, ofcourse
realize II far more. | lave lost one of the
most loving and devoted husbands and my
dear boys the best father that sons were ey-
blessed with. Until Gods love shall
place me by bis side again, shall know no
peace, or alienation Of my grief. Knowing
hin as you did, ] ain. sure you can pardon
and appreciate wifc's great sorrow over so
uutimcly loss ..... ..
Il How wish you could have been with
my dear husband the last three weeks Of bis

Of his orr gnnl nature, as ! remembered him
In our owl HON, free from care, surrounded

playful At 3 o'clock he drove out with me
In The open carriage. In starting | asked
him iruny one should accompany us7 lie

Notes of all denominations named will
be promptly furnished upon receipt of
subscriptions.
The Notes of this Third Series are pre-
cisely similar in form and privileges to the
Seven-Thirties already sold, except that
the Government reserves to itself the op-
ton of paying interest in gold coin at 6
per cent, instead of 7-3- l0ths in currency.
Subscribers will deduct the interest in cur
rency up to July 18th, 4 the time when
they subscribe.
: The delivery of the notes of this third
series of the Seven-thirties will commence
on the LIST of June, and will be made
promptly and continuously after that date.
The slight change made in the condi-
tons of this THIRD SERIES affects only
the matter Of interest. The payment in
gold, if made, will be equivalent to the
currency interest of the higher rate.
The return to specie payments, in the
event of which only will the option to pay
interest in Gold be availed of, would so
reduce and equalize prices that purchases
made with six per cent. in gold would be
fully equal to those made with seven and
three-tenths per cent. in currency. This
