Immense Meeting in London. C<onr>ow, April 30..On Saturday evening an immense public meeting convened under the 1 auspices of the Emancipation Society, in St. James Hall, to express their feelings ot grief ; and horror at the assassination of President Lincoln, and sympathy with the Government { people of the United States and with Mrs Lincoln, Mr. Seward and his family. The galleries ot the Hall were draped in black, snd over the end gallery hung the American flag The Hall was crowded with an audience who manifested not merely warm admiration ot th« character and capacity ol the late Presi¬ des, and sincere sympathy with the people of the I nited States in their loss, but their hearty approval of the great cause Mr. Lincoln repre¬ sented. The platform contained an array of Parlia¬ mentary gentlemen, and many leading citizens cf tbe metropolis. Manv ladies were present a majority ol whom were in mourning. Vari¬ ous 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 Emancipation Society Messrs. Foster, Stansficid, Leathean. Taylor, Potter, Baxter and Barnes, members of Par¬ liament, commenced the proceeding with ex¬ pressions of their deep sympathy with the American Government and people, and their entire confidence in the Administration of President Johnson. The Chairman was sup¬ ported by twenty imlnential members of Par¬ liament, and a large array of distinguished > ice Presidents, representing every section of the community. Letters of sympathy were read from Sir Charles Lyell, Lord Houlton, and others. Wm. E Forster. M. P., moved the first reso¬ lution : ';That this meeting desires to give ut¬ terance to the feelings of grief and horror with which it has heard of the asssssinatlon of President Lincoln, and the murderous attack on Mr. Seward, aud to convey to Mrs Lin¬ coln and the United States Government and people tbe expression of it3 profound svmna'bv and heartfelt condolence." The weekly papers all coincide with the daily press in remarks on Lincoln's assassina¬ tion. The Army and Navy Gazette says- "Noth¬ ing for many years has moved England like the telegram announcing the event." It pays a warm tribnte to Lincoln's memory, and says the more one looks at the facts the more one sees that although President Lincoln is dead tfce Confederates are hopelessly beaten. The new steamer Queen, for the National line, was successfully launched at Liaird's yard on the 29th ot April. Tbe assassination continues to be the all- pervading topic. Addresses of sympathy and indignation are most numerous. Parliament will vote an address on the 1st of May. Napoleon sent a messenger to the American Minister. The Prussian Government and Chambers also give expression of their sympathy. In the House ol Lords, on the 27th, Earl Kus- sell gave notice that on the 1st of May he would move an address to the Crown, express¬ ing the sorrow and indignation of the House at the assassination of the President of the United States, and praying her Majesty to convey an expression of her feelings to the Government of the United States. Earl Derby hoped ihe Government had taken pains to ascertain whether there was nothing in the form of the motion rendering It in the slightest degree doubtful whether unanimous assent shonld be given by the House to the ol sorrow and indignation for the atrocious act committed would not only meet with the nnan- lmous assent of the House, but would repre- fn wir. . i?.8®vei7 man> woman and child in Her Majesty s dominions. Earl Russell said, the Karl of Derby was cor* rect in saying the circumstances were hapnilv unprecedented, and he hoped there could be nothing in the form of the motion which would cause objection to be taken to it. . House of Commons, Sir Geo. Grav. in the absence of Lord Palmerston, gave nolice similar to that given by Earl Russell in the House of Lords, adding the address The common council of London, the Ameri¬ can Chamber of commerce ol" Liverpool, and public bodies in various parts of England have Uon^ resolutions ol sympathy and indlgna- Large numbers of Germans in London also presented an address to Minister Adams We Americans in London, at the call of Fer¬ nando Wood, assembled in considerable nura bers at the Grosvenor Hotel 0n the27tb, to eive expression of tneir sentiments, and at surges, tion of Mr. Adams, who sent a letter to that eflecl, the meeting adjourned to the 1st of May, when a great meeting of Americans will take place at St. James Hall, ander the presidency of Mr. Adams. ' The Times of the 28th says it is not u3ing the language of hyperbole in describing the pre¬ vailing manifestations of feeling as unexam- pled. President Lincoln was only the chief of a foreign State, with which we were not un- fretiuently in diplomatic or political collision. He might have been regarded as not much more to ns than the head of any friendly Gov¬ ernment, yet iiis end has already stirred the leelings of the public to the utmost depths, as tbe space of twenty-four hours has sufficed to fill the country rot only with grief and indig¬ nation, bat to evoke almost unprecedented ex¬ pressions of feeling from the constituted au¬ thorities. The Confederate Mason writes to the Index to repel the assertion of Stanton in a letter of Mr. Adams', ihat tbe acts were planned and set on foot by the rebels under pretense of avenging the South and aiding the rebel cause, He denies that Stanton has any evidence to substantiate his assertion, and says none will view the crime with more abhorrence than the people of the South. The Times, editorially referring to this letter, rejoices to see Mason repudiate the crime, and sayB if the Southern States themselves do not utterly and even more emphatically renounce it and its authors they will forfeit all the sym¬ pathy which remains as the solace of their misfortunes. A despatch from Paris says that Napoleon, on reading the news of Mr. Lincoln's death, sent one of his aides-de-camp to call on Minis- ter Blgelow, and to request him to convev to President Johnson the expression of profouud aftliction and sorrow with which tae odious crime had inspired the Emperor. It is reported that l^ueeii Victoria will send a letter ol condolence to Mrs. Lincolc and ex¬ press her sympath y with the Americanlpeople Herr Von Bismark, Prime Minister of Prus¬ sia, has addressed a letter to the United States Minister at Berlin, and it was personally de¬ livered by an under Secretary of State. Sir Samuel Cunard died in London on the 2Sth. Press Comments.Despatch of Secretary Stanton. (From the Cork Herald, April 27.J Lokdok, April 27th..The Globe says the news from America will send a thrill of horror through the land. It is too soon to esti¬ mate the depth and breadth oI the great ca¬ lamity to America and Europe. Mr. Lincoln had come nobly through a great ordeal. He had extorted the approval even of his oppo- aents, at least on this side of thejwater. They had come reluctantly to admire his firmness, honesty, fairness, and sagacity. He has tried to do, and had done what ha consid¬ ered to be his duty with magnanimity. He bad never called vengance upon one individual. In his dealingwith foreign countries, and hi3 expressions with regard to them, he had come to be remarkable because, among American Presidents he showed a justness of view and tone which were not common in the hour when the canse he had labored for was about to triumDh and peace once more prevail over a torn and bleeding continent. He was shot by a cowardly assassin. Who can say what flood. gate this act may not open, to what o toer crimes it may not lead?

The Dublin Evening Freeman ol ihe 26 th says: "The greatest President of the Re¬ public since Washington fell by t&ehand of an assassin. The Cork Herald nlso contains aa official telegram from Secretary Stanton to. the I'nted State* Legation at London, detailing tl»e incidents ot the assassinatien, and adding: "Tbe ptorderer of the President has been discovered and evidence obtained that these horrible crimes were committed la execution of a conspiracy deliberately planned and set OA foot by rebels, under pretence ol avenging tut South and aiding the rebel cause; but it is expected that the immediate perpetrators will be caught. Tbe feeling occasioned by these atrocious crimes is so great, sadden, and over- whelming, that I cannot at present do more than communicate them to vou. At the earliest moment yesterday the President called a Cabinet meeting, at which General Grant waa preeent. He was more cheerful and happy than 1 had ever seen blm. He rejoiced at the near pro»pect of a firm and durable pface at home and broad, which manifested in a marked degree the soundness and honesty of his dis¬ position, and the tender and tforglvlng spirit that so eminently distinguished him. Public advice had been given that ha and General Grant won Id beat the theatre, aud the oppor- tunity of adding the Lieutenant General to tbe number of victims- to be murdered waa no doubt seized for the fitting occasion of exe¬ cuting the plans which appear to have been' in preparation for some weeks; but GeneraJ Grant was compelled to be absent, and tDuB escaped the designs upon him. "It Is needless tor me to say anything In re¬ gard to tbe influence whic h this atrocious murder of the President may exercise npon the affairs of the country. Bnt 1 will only add that, though horrible and atrocious as are the plans that have been resolved on by t&% ene¬ mies of tbe country, they are not likely, in any degree, to Impair the public spirit, or postpone tbe complete and final overthrow of the rebel¬ lion. ..In profound grief for the events which it has become my duty to communicate to you, I have tbe bonor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Enwi* M.

[From the N. Y. Evening Poet, May ioth.J The main feature in Wall street is the further heavy decline in gold, in consequence of the turn In tbe foreign exchanges, and the suppo¬ sition tbat from the course of trade they will rule still more deciaeuiy iu our ravur. rnis decline has produced some uneasiness at the Produce Exchange: however, its ettesta are less depressing and less extensive than had been anticipated. Gold is heavy. The opening price was its v, and at the close it was offered at 131 after selling at 131. This is the lowest point reached since January, 1803. The loan market is easy at 5a6 per cent There is some apprehension that from the large sub¬ scriptions to the seven-thirties some degree of stringency will be produced. Probably, how¬ ever, tbe able arrangements of the Secretary of the Treasury will prevent any such result. The stock market opened dull, became ir¬ regular, and closed heavy. Governments are strorg and active. Railroad shares are depressed by the general indisposition to operate, and by the battering of the bears, who are reported to be under tbe necessity of purchasing to caver the heavy short contracts which are about soon to mature. The Commercial says The stock market is more animated, but shows a downward tendency in values. The steady decline In gold produces some misgiv¬ ings as to the prospect of dividends, it being expected that with the reduction in the price of produce, there must be a diminution in the rates of freight. While these misgivings are not so positive as to produce any general dis¬ position to sell out, yet they check the enrrent movement for a rise. The value of railroad stock at present, however, is much more regu¬ lated by antagonistic speculative cliques than by any considerations of real value. The "bulls" consider they have the "bears" vir¬ tually cornered, from the fact that the latter must, during the next fourteen days, cover an immense amount of -'short" sales. Until these operations commence, the "bulls" are satisfied to barely maintain present quotations. After that they will probably have no objection to y.eld to the growing weakness of prices. Gen. Johnston Taking Leave op his Staff..The Greensboro' N. C. correspondent ol the JY. 1". Herald, May ith, writes; This mornlne General Joseph £. Johnston broke up his neadquarters near this place, bade farewell to the members of his stall, ex¬ cept his personal aids, and proceeded to Char¬ lotte. The scene was an affecting one, and all who witnessed it regarded it in that light. In tbe midst of a woods, at adistanceof twe miles from Greensboro', were a few tents, some wagons, and a number of horses. No longer the headqnarters' guard pacea to and fro. There was no bustle and no excitement; no hasty utterances and startling exclamations: none of the liveliness pertaining to active field service. The countenances and actions of both officers and orderlies bespoke an occu¬ pation gone. Soon after sunrise the General and staff rose and partook of a frugal meal. A camp chest served them lor a table, and the ground was used in lieu of chairs. The dishes were not of china, nor were the spoons and forks used of silver, but both were of the most inexpensive kind. Tbe meal over, their appe¬ tites appeased, orders were given and received, the tents struck, pdfsonal property packed, tbe wagons loaded, and everything got in readiness to be moved. This accomplished, the General gathered hi6 staff around him, and made a few remarks. He thanked them for their services, the aid they had rendered him, and hoped the future would be brighter than the present and tbe past. Few as the words and actions were, they embraced the parting scenes. By noon the wagons moved, and the General and those of his staff who proposed to journey his way, placed their horses and baggage on the cars and left for Charlotte, aud as they did so the headquarters of the rebel army of the Tennessee ceased to have an exis¬ tence.commencing its journey to history and posterity. ¦STSpeaking of the wonderful depth ol feel¬ ing produced in New York by the death of President Lincoln, the New York Evening Post says:.In further illustration of the con¬ dition of the popular mind, we may here state what we have learned on the autnority of Mr. Acton, one of the Police Commissioners, that daring the past week there have been fewer arrests for drunkenness and disorder than in any week since New York contained over on* hundred thousand population. Havk't Caught Him Ykt..An unsophis¬ ticated countryman, the other day, coming m town with a load of wood, saw a military of- - Acer, followed at a respectful distance by two orderlies.all three mounted, and In full gal¬ lop.

The Assassination of President Lincoln.Immense Meeting in London.

C<onr>ow, April 30..On Saturday evening animmense public meeting convened under the

1 auspices of the Emancipation Society, in St.James Hall, to express their feelings ot grief; and horror at the assassination of PresidentLincoln, and sympathy with the Government

{ people of the United States and with MrsLincoln, Mr. Seward and his family.The galleries ot the Hall were draped in black,

snd over the end gallery hung the Americanflag The Hall was crowded with an audiencewho manifested not merely warm admirationot th« character and capacity ol the late Presi¬des, and sincere sympathy with the people ofthe I nited States in their loss, but their heartyapproval of the great cause Mr. Lincoln repre¬sented.The platform contained an array of Parlia¬

mentary gentlemen, and many leading citizenscf tbe metropolis. Manv ladies were presenta majority ol whom were in mourning. Vari¬ous resolutions were carried, not merely withunanimity, but with an intense feeling rarelyseen at public meetings.The chair was occupied by William Evans,

President of the Emancipation SocietyMessrs. Foster, Stansficid, Leathean. Taylor,Potter, Baxter and Barnes, members of Par¬liament, commenced the proceeding with ex¬pressions of their deep sympathy with theAmerican Government and people, and theirentire confidence in the Administration ofPresident Johnson. The Chairman was sup¬ported by twenty imlnential members of Par¬liament, and a large array of distinguished> ice Presidents, representing every section ofthe community.

Letters of sympathy were read from SirCharles Lyell, Lord Houlton, and others.Wm. E Forster. M. P., moved the first reso¬lution : ';That this meeting desires to give ut¬terance to the feelings of griefand horror withwhich it has heard of the asssssinatlon ofPresident Lincoln, and the murderous attackon Mr. Seward, aud to convey to Mrs Lin¬coln and the United States Government andpeople tbe expression of it3 profound svmna'bvand heartfelt condolence."The weekly papers all coincide with the

daily press in remarks on Lincoln's assassina¬tion.The Army and Navy Gazette says- "Noth¬

ing for many years has moved England likethe telegram announcing the event." It paysa warm tribnte to Lincoln's memory, and saysthe more one looks at the facts the more onesees that although President Lincoln is deadtfce Confederates are hopelessly beaten.The new steamer Queen, for the National

line, was successfully launched at Liaird'syard on the 29th ot April.Tbe assassination continues to be the all-

pervading topic. Addresses of sympathy andindignation are most numerous. Parliamentwill vote an address on the 1st of May.Napoleon sent a messenger to the American

Minister.The Prussian Government and Chambers

also give expression of their sympathy.In the House ol Lords, on the 27th, Earl Kus-

sell gave notice that on the 1st of May hewould move an address to the Crown, express¬ing the sorrow and indignation of the House atthe assassination of the President of the UnitedStates, and praying her Majesty to convey anexpression of her feelings to the Governmentof the United States.Earl Derby hoped ihe Government had taken

pains to ascertain whether there was nothingin the form of the motion rendering It in theslightest degree doubtful whether unanimousassent shonld be given by the House to the

ol sorrow and indignation for the atrocious actcommitted would not only meet with the nnan-lmous assent of the House, but would repre-fn wir.. i?.8®vei7 man> woman and childin Her Majesty s dominions.Earl Russell said, the Karl of Derby was cor*

rect in saying the circumstances were hapnilvunprecedented, and he hoped there could benothing in the form of the motion which wouldcause objection to be taken to it..

House of Commons, Sir Geo. Grav.in the absence of Lord Palmerston, gave nolicesimilar to that given by Earl Russell in theHouse of Lords, adding the addressThe common council of London, the Ameri¬

can Chamber of commerce ol" Liverpool, andpublic bodies in various parts of England have

Uon^ resolutions ol sympathy and indlgna-Large numbers of Germans in London also

presented an address to Minister AdamsWe Americans in London, at the call of Fer¬

nando Wood, assembled in considerable nurabers at the Grosvenor Hotel 0n the27tb, to eiveexpression of tneir sentiments, and at surges,tion of Mr. Adams, who sent a letter to thateflecl, the meeting adjourned to the 1st of May,when a great meeting of Americans will takeplace at St. James Hall, ander the presidencyof Mr. Adams. '

The Times of the 28th says it is not u3ing thelanguage of hyperbole in describing the pre¬vailing manifestations of feeling as unexam-pled. President Lincoln was only the chief ofa foreign State, with which we were not un-fretiuently in diplomatic or political collision.He might have been regarded as not muchmore to ns than the head of any friendly Gov¬ernment, yet iiis end has already stirred theleelings of the public to the utmost depths, astbe space of twenty-four hours has sufficed tofill the country rot only with grief and indig¬nation, bat to evoke almost unprecedented ex¬pressions of feeling from the constituted au¬thorities.The Confederate Mason writes to the Index

to repel the assertion of Stanton in a letter ofMr. Adams', ihat tbe acts were planned andset on foot by the rebels under pretense ofavenging the South and aiding the rebel cause,He denies that Stanton has any evidence tosubstantiate his assertion, and says none willview the crime with more abhorrence than thepeople of the South.The Times, editorially referring to this letter,

rejoices to see Mason repudiate the crime, andsayB if the Southern States themselves do notutterly and even more emphatically renounceit and its authors they will forfeit all the sym¬pathy which remains as the solace of theirmisfortunes.A despatch from Paris says that Napoleon,

on reading the news of Mr. Lincoln's death,sent one of his aides-de-camp to call on Minis-ter Blgelow, and to request him to convev toPresident Johnson the expression of profouudaftliction and sorrow with which tae odiouscrime had inspired the Emperor.

It is reported that l^ueeii Victoria will senda letter ol condolence to Mrs. Lincolc and ex¬press her sympath y with the AmericanlpeopleHerr Von Bismark, Prime Minister of Prus¬

sia, has addressed a letter to the United StatesMinister at Berlin, and it was personally de¬livered by an under Secretary of State.Sir Samuel Cunard died in London on the

Stanton.(From the Cork Herald, April 27.J

Lokdok, April 27th..The Globe says thenews from America will send a thrill ofhorror through the land. It is too soon to esti¬mate the depth and breadth oI the great ca¬lamity to America and Europe. Mr. Lincolnhad come nobly through a great ordeal. Hehad extorted the approval even of his oppo-aents, at least on this side of thejwater. Theyhad come reluctantly to admire his firmness,honesty, fairness, and sagacity. He hastried to do, and had done what ha consid¬ered to be his duty with magnanimity.He bad never called vengance uponone individual. In his dealingwith foreigncountries, and hi3 expressions with regardto them, he had come to be remarkablebecause, among American Presidents heshowed a justness of view and tone whichwere not common in the hour when thecanse he had labored for was about to triumDhand peace once more prevail over a tornand bleeding continent.

Financial.[From the N. Y. Evening Poet, May ioth.JThe main feature in Wall street is the further

heavy decline in gold, in consequence of theturn In tbe foreign exchanges, and the suppo¬sition tbat from the course of trade they willrule still more deciaeuiy iu our ravur. rnisdecline has produced some uneasiness at theProduce Exchange: however, its ettesta areless depressing and less extensive than hadbeen anticipated.Gold is heavy. The opening price was its v,and at the close it was offered at 131 \« after

selling at 131. This is the lowest point reachedsince January, 1803.The loan market is easy at 5a6 per cent There

is some apprehension that from the large sub¬scriptions to the seven-thirties some degree ofstringency will be produced. Probably, how¬ever, tbe able arrangements of the Secretaryof the Treasury will prevent any such result.The stock market opened dull, became ir¬

regular, and closed heavy. Governments arestrorg and active.Railroad shares are depressed by the general

indisposition to operate, and by the batteringof the bears, who are reported to be under tbenecessity of purchasing to caver the heavyshort contracts which are about soon to mature.The Commercial saysThe stock market is more animated, but

shows a downward tendency in values. Thesteady decline In gold produces some misgiv¬ings as to the prospect of dividends, it beingexpected that with the reduction in the price ofproduce, there must be a diminution in therates of freight. While these misgivings arenot so positive as to produce any general dis¬position to sell out, yet they check the enrrentmovement for a rise. The value of railroadstock at present, however, is much more regu¬lated by antagonistic speculative cliques thanby any considerations of real value. The"bulls" consider they have the "bears" vir¬tually cornered, from the fact that the lattermust, during the next fourteen days, cover animmense amount of -'short" sales. Until theseoperations commence, the "bulls" are satisfiedto barely maintain present quotations. Afterthat they will probably have no objection toy.eld to the growing weakness of prices.

Gen. Johnston Taking Leave op hisStaff..The Greensboro' N. C. correspondentol the JY. 1". Herald, May ith, writes;This mornlne General Joseph £. Johnston

broke up his neadquarters near this place,bade farewell to the members of his stall, ex¬cept his personal aids, and proceeded to Char¬lotte. The scene was an affecting one, and allwho witnessed it regarded it in that light. Intbe midst of a woods, at adistanceof twe milesfrom Greensboro', were a few tents, somewagons, and a number of horses. No longerthe headqnarters' guard pacea to and fro.There was no bustle and no excitement; nohasty utterances and startling exclamations:none of the liveliness pertaining to active fieldservice. The countenances and actions ofboth officers and orderlies bespoke an occu¬pation gone. Soon after sunrise the Generaland staff rose and partook of a frugal meal. Acamp chest served them lor a table, and theground was used in lieu of chairs. The disheswere not of china, nor were the spoons andforks used of silver, but both were of the mostinexpensive kind. Tbe meal over, their appe¬tites appeased, orders were given and received,the tents struck, pdfsonal property packed,tbe wagons loaded, and everything got inreadiness to be moved. This accomplished,the General gathered hi6 staff around him, andmade a few remarks. He thanked them fortheir services, the aid they had rendered him,and hoped the future would be brighter thanthe present and tbe past. Few as the wordsand actions were, they embraced the partingscenes. By noon the wagons moved, and theGeneral and those of his staff who proposedto journey his way, placed their horses andbaggage on the cars and left for Charlotte, audas they did so the headquarters of the rebelarmy of the Tennessee ceased to have an exis¬tence.commencing its journey to history andposterity.¦STSpeaking of the wonderful depth ol feel¬

ing produced in New York by the death ofPresident Lincoln, the New York EveningPost says:.In further illustration of the con¬dition of the popular mind, we may here statewhat we have learned on the autnority of Mr.Acton, one of the Police Commissioners, thatdaring the past week there have been fewerarrests for drunkenness and disorder than inany week since New York contained over on*hundred thousand population.Havk't Caught Him Ykt..An unsophis¬
