LONDON, April 30.-On Saturday even
ing, the 29th an immense public meeting
convened, under the auspices of the Eman-
cipation Society, in st. James Hall, to ex-
press feelings Of grief and horror at the as
sassination of President Lincoln and SYM
The United States, and with Mrs. Lincoln,
and Mr.. Seward and family. The galleries
of the hall were draped in black, and it was
crowded. The audience manifested not
merely their warm admiration of the char
acter and capacity of the late President,
and sincere sympathy with the people of
the United States, in the loss sustained, but
their hearty approval of the great cause
Mr., Lincoln represented. The platform
contained numbers of gentlemen and many
leading citizens of the metropolis. Many
ladies were present, a majority of whom
were in mourning. Various resolutions
were carried, not merely with unanimity,
but with an intense feeling rarely seen at
public meetings. The chair was occupied
by William Evans, President of the Eman-
cipation Society. Messrs. Forster, Stansfield,
Leatheron, layer, Potter, Baxter and
Baines, members of Parliament, commenced
the proceedings with expressions of deep
sympathy with the American Government
and people, and entire confidence in the ad-
ministration of President johnson. The
chairman was supported by twenty influ-
entail members of Parliament and large
array of distinguished persons representing
every section of the community. Letters
| of sympathy were received from Sir Charles
| Lyell, Lord Houlton, and others.
w. E. Forster, member of Parliament,
moved the first resolutions:
"That this meeting desires to give utter
ance to the feelings of grief and horror
with which ithas heard of the assassination
of President Lincoln and the murderous
attack on Mr.. Seward; to convey to Mrs.
Lincoln and the United States Government
and people the expression Of its profound
sympathy and heartfelt coincidence"
Mr.. Forster said: This was the time when
the tie of blood binding Englishmen to
Americans was indeed truly felt. A thrill
of grief, horror and Indignation had passed
through the length and breadth of Europe,
and especially passed through the heart, of
every Englishman as though some painful
| calamity had fallen on himself. TCheers. |
This meeting would send by the ship which

had heaped every epithet of abuse upon
Lincoln, and were now trying to do the
same thing by johnson. Shame. He felt
confident that the efforts of the new Gov
ernment would be continued in the same
direction as Lincoln's, and that it would
soon effect complete restoration of the
Union, with complete emancipation of the
negroes. President Lincoln died for that
principle; but his death was not the SYM
Dol of its death but of its generous triumph.
| [Cheers.] U.a1a
Mr.. Leathern, M. p, brother-in-law of
Mr.. Bright, concurred in the hearty tribute
paid to the character and services of Pres
ident Lincoln. They had seen America
pass triumphantly through great trials, and
they confidently expected that she would
come out with equal fortitude and equal
dignity from what was perhaps the last and
worst of her triumphs.
Mr.. Stansfield, M. p, moved the next
resolution, viz:
"That this meeting desires to express its
entire confidence in the determination and
power of the people and Government of the
| United States to carry out to thetullest ex-
tent the policy of which Abraham Lincoln,s
presidential career was the embodiment,
and establish free institutions throughout
the whole American republic"
Mr.. Stansfield said they had met not on
ly to give an expression of their horror at
a deed SO foul that history could produce no
parallel, but to show sympathy, for a cause
which begins, by being honorable and great,
to be righteous and which, by the acts
and by the life and death of its martyr Pres
sident. had now become second in their
eyes. Loud cheers.] The South had been
fighting for the avowed and deliberate pur-
pose of promoting and perpetuating human
