The London Times of the 27th says:
"This evening it may be expected the
leaders of the great parties in the House
Of Commons will take the opportunity
of expressing, in the name ofthe nation,
the horror which is felt everywhere at
the crime, and of assuring the American
people that whatever difference of opin-
ion may exist in this country as to the
present war, there is but one feeling of
sympathy with them at the loss of an
honest and high minded magistrate.
The London and provincial journals
alike describe the intense excitement
which the news created, and all united
in warm eulogiums upon Mr.. Lincoln
and bitter denunciations of the assas-
sination.
The Paris and continental journals
also contain articles on the subject.
The scene on change at Liverpool
will not soon be forgotten. The excit-
ment has rarely, if ever been exceeded.
Late in the day request was sent to
the Mayor to call a public meeting to
express the sorrow and indignation of
the people. Hundreds signed it, and
the Mayor issued proclamation for a
meeting at st. Georges Hall on the Z.
M. of the 27th, to be adjourned to the
evening of the same day that the work
ing classes might likewise have an OPP
portunity of attending. The flags on
the Town Hall and other buildings and
on the shipping at Liverpool were dis
played at half mast.
All the American resident in London,
the Union and Emancipation Societies,
and the people of Manchester and Bir-
mingham were 10 m ct on the 9th to
express their sentiments.
The Liverpool Post of the 9th is
printed with its columns in mourning.
The Times says "Nothing in politi-
cal history can be remembered that has
ever drawn forth more unanimous
feeling than this news. Personally,
President Lincoln enjoyed the kind re-
CARDS of every one in England. The
extent to which his influence was es-
timated in upholding amicable relations
between England and the United States,
has been shown by fall of unusual Sc
verify in all classes of securities"
The Times editorial says: "The news
will be received throughout Europe with
a sorrow &s sincere and profound as it
was even in the United States Mr..
Lincoln's perfect honesty was so appar-
ent that Englishmen learnsd to respect
him. Unjust as we believeit to be, the
Confederate cause will not escape the
dishonor cast upon it by these waptonn
MURDERS
- The Daily News says that Mr.. Lin
coin has not fallen in the flush of tri-
umph, for no thought of triumph was in
that honest and humble heart, but his
task was accomplihed and the battle of
his life was won and in all time to
come, among all who think ofmanhood
more than rank, the name of Abraham
Lincoln will be held in reverence and
love.
The News. continues: We will not
without further and overwhelming
prooflay the charge of this horrible con-
sp;racy TO the leaders or abettors of
the South.
The Star pays warm tribute to Mr..
Lincoln, and eulogizes his steadfast
policy of peace in spite Gfall proyoca-
tions towards England. 1t also ex-
presses great confidence that the North,
even in its hour ofjust Indignation, will
bear itself with that magnanimous elem
ency which thus far has attended its
triumph. .,.r vet
The Daily Telegraph says: sFrom
vulgar corruption, from factious hatred,
from meanest jealousies and uncharita-
bleness this great ruler was wholly free.
At last came what seemed to be the
frgition of his labors, the reward Of his
patience and courage. He entered
Richmond as acongueror but he launch
ed no decree of prescription against
the South, fer the fight appeared to him
to be over and it was not in his large
heart to bear malice against. 2 beaten

and temperate habits. The News also
