IT was a happy thought on the part of
the Congress of the United States of
America IT, commemorate the worth of
Abraham Lincoln, by collecting and pub
fishing in one volume, the numerous let
ters of coincidence that were addressed TO
the People of the United States as repre-
scented by their Government on his death.
Among those who FASTENED to express
the general horror of the community,
which he represented, at the crime to
which the President fell a victim and the
sympathy felt with the United States
people on the occasion of their great loss,
was His Excellency Governor Birch. In
return His Excellency has been presentedm
by Mr.. Secretary Seward with a o of
this beautiful volume "as a Testimonial
of the grateful appreciation by the People
of the generous expression of coincidence
and sympathy in the late national Be-
redUement."
The volume is a magnificent quarto-
edition printed in the finest style on
most beautiful paper and elegantly bound.
II contains upwards of 900 pages and the
expressions Of coincidence are from almost
every country in the world. The volume

that she would place the temperatures of
the Irish Church at the disposal of Parlia-
ment was delivered on Tuesday night
through the Comptroller of the House

1t was expected up to the last minute by
a few members that the reply would be
evasive, but it was of course clearly in
the affirmative. Her Majesty says, Ere
lying on the wisdom of my Parliament, I
