[From the London Times, April 27.) The intelligence of the assassination of Presi- dent Lineoin, and@ ofthe attempt to assassinate Mr. Sewara caused a most extraordinary sen- sation In the esterday. ‘OWArA- ni. the news Lecama kad eH, SOU it ebroad rapidly from motth to mouth in alt directiéus. At first many were incredulous as to the truth of the rumor, and come believed itto have been ©-c afloat for purposes in connection with the Stock Exchange, The house of Peabody & Go., American Bankers, in Broad s:reet, had received early intelligence of the assassination, and from there the news ,was carried to the Bank of England, when: t quickly radiated in a thoneaad direetions. Meanwhile it was beittg-wafted far and wide by the second edi- tions of the morning papers, and was supple- mented later in the day by the publication of additional particulars. * Shortly after 2 o’clock it was communicated to the Lord Mayor while be was sitting in the jastice room of the Man- sion House, and aboat the same time the «star spangled banner” was hoisted half-mast over the Americam-C@onenlate, at the corner of Grace chureh street. The same fiag had but afew days before floated in triumph from the same place on the entry of the Federals into Richmond, and stilAlater on the surrender of General Lee. : : Between oneand two o’clock the third e tion of the Times, containing 4 circumstantial narrative of the affair, made its appearance in the city, and became immediately in extravr- dimary demand. A newsvender in tne Royal Exchange was selling itat half acrown & copy, and by half-past three o'clock it could not “had there for money. The excitement causés by the intelligence was manifest in the public sireets, and the eyent was the theme of con- yersation everywhere. The revival of the af- fair of the Road-nill murder, which, in the earlier part of the day had created a profound sensation, sank into insignificance in compari- son with the interest and astortishment excited by the news of the tragedy at Washington. A photographer in Cornhill, “taking time by the forelock,’ exhibited cartes of the deceased Presi- dent in his window, inscribed “the late Mr. Lincoln,” and accompanied by an account of the assassination cut from the second edition of acotemporary. Throughout the remainder of the day the evening papers weresold in un- exampledjuumbers, and often at double and treble the ordinary price, alb evincing the universal intefest felt in the astounding intel- ligence. The Excitement in Liverpool. (From the Liverpool Post, April 27.) ‘The scene on the Liverpool Exchange to-day was such as will not for a long timé be forgot- ten. The American news ‘was. anxiously looked for—so far as regarded the war hews— but when the whisper went round, about a quarter past eleven, that President Lincoln had been aseassinated, and that the news by the Nova Scotia was in town, people became very inquisitive as to who had the private telegram; and when, at half-past eleven, it was announced that Mr. ‘ounghusband, the secretary and treasurer of the Liverpool Exchange news room, was in possession ef the news, eterrible rash took place from the flags to the news room, and after a few min~ sates of uproar and discontent, it was an- swounced that Mr. Younghusband wonld read aloud the despatch from the bar of the news room. All wasnow silent. The passage where. ‘im it was stated that President Lincoln had been shot at caused no great dismay; but when the master of the rooms read, “The President never rallied, and died this morning,”8 more general expression of horror and consternation was almost beyond belief,even among those of the most cailous nature. Certainly there was one dissentient voice, who, amid the sobs of some, and‘ heaptfelt ex- pressions of sorrow of a great many, had thd ‘ temerity toexclain. ‘Harrah!’ His presence in the news room was of shortduration. For, being seized by the collar by as good a South- erner as there is in Liverpool, he was sum- marily ejected from the reom, the gentlernan who firat seized him exclaiming, “Be off, you incarnate fiend; you are an assassin at heart.” ‘This, however, was only one incident. Even before the news was generally known, there wasa kind of magic attraction to the Exchange, and it is believed that never, since the appear- ance of the (Jueen on the Exchange balcony, has there been such an assemblage of excited men, although certainly to-day there was bat despondency and dismay in place of acclama- tions of loyalty. Of course, many persons be- lMeved the aseassination was a canard, got up for a purpose, and naturally rushed to the American Consul’s office for @ verification of the announcement. The Consul was unable to do so, simply because all dispatches for the American consuls in England must first go to the American Embassy in London. jn the course of the afternoon, however, the fleg half mast over the consul’s office dispelled the hopes of those who were in expectation that the repott of the assassination Was untrue. In the course of the afternoon the flag on the Exchange Buildings was placed at haif-mast, and a deputation, irrespective of American party feelings, proceeded to the Town Hail, in order to consult with the Mayor as tothe desirability of holding a public meeting for the purpose of sending out, by to-morrow’s steam- er, an address of condolence to the people of the United States. The Mayor being: absent, ro definite arrangement was arrived at; but the deputy Mayor gave orders that the Town Hall flag should beat once hoisted at half- mast. The American ships in the mver andin the docks, as coon as the news was known, hoisted s‘half-high” fiags, and in many in- stances the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes were bound together with crape or black cloth. We understand, however, that this eveningor to-morrow morning a meeting of American shipmasters will be held, in order to adopt the measures to be taken by them upon the present lamentable occasion. The despatch which related t the death of Frederick Seward increased the general gloom and agitation; and further news acted against United States stocks, while at the same time, although Con- federate bonds were rather. brisk in the morn- ing, they declined to about yesterday’s closing rices. 2h amatter of course, the melancholy and unexpected news had a most depressing effect on both northerners and southerners; the latter vied with the former in expressing their regret and indignation at the crimes of Booth and his fellow-assassin, deploring this catastrophe as | most injurious to their cause, aud repudiatirg the rufiians as southerners. The president of the Southern Club convened a meeting of all the members of the club who happened to be present, for the purpose of ascertaining whether t was desirable to take any official action upon the event. The members of the committee ‘were unanimous in their expressions of abhor- rence and reprobation of the foul deeds, but did mot consider that any further official notice should be taken of it by the club. We may here state that on no occasion, on the réceipt even of the most cheering news for the Con- federate cause, did the clubever take official notice of it, even so far as to hoist a flag. They had a flag, which they hoped to first hoist on receiving the recognition, which never came. The Meeting in Liverpool. ‘There was a great meeting of the merchants of Liverpool in Sc. George’s Heli, on the after- noon of the 27th, to express the sentiments of the people atthe assassination of President Lincoln. The Mayor presided, and he and seyeral leading merchants made speeches de- nhouncing the crime and express sympathy with the people ofthe United States in strong: terms, A resolution expressing Sorrow and indignation, regardless of all differences of opinion politically, was unanimously adopted and ordered to be sent tothe American Min- ister a London, to Mrs. Tincoln, and to, Mr. Seward. 3 fi On the evening of the mane day,.and at the same place, there was another great meetin, ofthe working citasts, at which similar reso Tatlons were adopted. A resolution of & more politicat character was offered, aad led to contusion, amidst which tie: mesling. ‘was adjourned, Asie tgs 1 The Common Couns of Pondon, the Ai ‘can Chamber of merce verpool, and poe bodies in various parts of England ave adopeted. resolutions of sympathy and indignation. } ao; The Sensation in Birming =!

It was & little after twelve o’clock when the first Aélegram was received announcing this sad @ccurrence; this, like all dther bad news, spread rapidly, and in less than heif an hour the Exchange, where the telegrams were posted, was thronged with persons in whose faces wae depicted an expression of the deep- est dnxiety. Very many were reluctant to be- Neve the news, and ina state of feverish and eager desire clung tothe hope thatthe telegram ‘was some stock- jobbing trick or fraud for some sinister purpose, and im these times when so much is done fer the saite of creating a sensa- tion, or forsome more unworthy end, tt is nd wonder thateven the publi¢ should at length have been tanght to be cautious, and be slow to "Neatly three hours passed away withoat the Feceipt of any confirmation of the. first tele- grani, and hope wag reviving when the full details cf the gréat tragic occurrences just petrated at Washington came to hand. Then there was no face in which grief was not de- picted; no sentiment uttered but that of abhor- rence at theee foul crimes. Of the-truth of that the American people may rest assured, so far as this town is concerned; for although there has always been & strong feeling of sympathy here for the Southerners, and never more so than in the fast hours of th: gigantic efforts of ‘Lee and bis band, there is nothing but detes- tation at the huge murder with which this fratricidal war bas just been crowned. The Mayor was in London when this afflicting news, was received, but he was immediate! telegraphed to by Mr. Alderman Hawkes, wit the view to some fmmediate expression in ref- erence to this untoward eyent by the authori- ties of this town. Mr. Henry Van Wert, an American by birth, but resident here for nearjy sixty years, and closely connected with the family of Wash- ington Irving, heard the sad news whilst sitting on the bench as & magistrate; he, too, a strong Northern partisan, came to the Ex- change full of grief, reluctant to believe in the terrible story that Abraham Lincoln had been lain in such a crisis of his country’s his- tory. f Mr. Lincoln's pigss. fs America Irrepa- rable. [From the London Times, April 27.} The American news which we publish this morning will be recetved throughont Europe with sorrow as sincere and profound as it @woke even in the United States themselves, Mr. Lincoln has fallen at the hands of an assassin, and Mr, Seward has too, probably, shareti his fate + * * Deeds of such atro- city cover their perpetrators with everlasting imfamy, and discredit the cause they are pre- sumably meant to serve. We trust it will appear that the crimes ot Wilkes Booth and his accomplice were conceived and executed in concert with no one but themselves. The South, broken and defeated, could receive no possible benefit from the removal of Mr. Lin- coln and Mr. Seward; the too probable effect of the crime is an accession of madness and anger, rendering all schemes of reconstruction impos- sible. On the other hand, the waving of a knife before the affrighted audience at the theater, and the Sic semper tyrannis, pronounced by the assassin, indicate the vanity of men willing to immortalize themselves, like Era- tostratus, though the world should perish. Unjust as we believe it to be, the Uonted- erate cause will not escape the dishonor cast upon it by the wanton murders of the Presi- dent and the Secretary. The admiration won by the long and gallant defence of Richmond will be lessened; the memory of Lee's lofty bearing and Jackson’s deep religious feeling will be obscured by the atrocities committed in the name and on behalf of the South. Arson in New York and assassination in the capital dim the lustre of a four years’ resistance to su- perior forces and of many & well-fought field in Virginia. The critical condition of affairs in America, the position of the southern States at the feet of their victorious antagonists, the gigantic task of reconstruction, which must be undertaken by the political leaders of the North, and, above all, the unpromising character of the man whom an accident nas made the ruler of the Union for the next four years, tend to exalt our estimate of the loss which the States have suffered in the murder of their President; but it would be unjust to acknowledge that Mr. Lincoln was a man who could not, under any circumstances, haye been easily replaced. Startng from anjhumble position to one ef greateminence, and adopted by the Republican party asa makeshift, simply because Mr. Sew- ward and other prominent leaders were ob- noxious to different sections of the party, it Was natural that his career should be watched with jealous suspicion. The office cast upon him was great, its duties were most onerous, and the obscurity of his past career afforded no guarantee of his ability to discharge them. His shortcomings, moreover were on the surface. The education of a man whose early years had been spent in earning bread by man- ual labor had necessarily been detective, and faults of manner and errore of taste repelled the observer at the outset. In spite ef these drawbacks, Mr. Lincoln slowly won for him- Belt the respect and confidence of alt. His per- fect honesty speedily became apparent, and what is, perhaps, mofe to his credit, amid the meny unstudied speeches which he was called upon from time to time to deliver, imbued though they were with the rongh humorof his early associates, he was in none of them be- trayed into any intemperance of language to- ward his opponents or toward neutrals. His utterances were apparently careless, but his tongue was always under command. The quality of Mr. Lincoln’s administration, which served, however, more than any other, to enlist the sympathy of bystanders, was its conservative progress. ‘He felt his way grad- ually to his conclusions, and those who will compare the different stages of his career, one with another, will find that his mind was growing throughout the course of it. The naivete with which he once suggested to the negroes that they should take themselves off to Central America, because their presence in the States was inconvenient to the white pop- ulation, soon disappeared. The gradual change of his language and of his policy was most remarkable. Englishmen learned to respect a man who showed the best characteristics of their race in his respect for what is good in the Past, actirg in unisOn with a recognition ‘of passing history. But the growth of Mr. Lin- coln’s mind was subject toa singujar modifi- cation. It would seem that he felf himself of late amere instrument engaged in working out a great cause, which he could partly recognize, but whish he was powerless to control, Mr. Lincoln the Finest Character Devel- oped by the War. {Erem the London Star, April 21.] The appalling tragedy that>has just been perpetrated at Washington is absolutely with- out Ristorical precedent.

The startling news which was yesterday re~ ceived from America is such as to throw imto the shade even the tremendous catastrophe of the fallof Ricnmond and the surrender of Jee’s army. Mr. President Lincoln has been aesaesinated, and is dead: Mr. Seward has been Btabbed, and is reported to be ina hopeless state. Mr. Andrew Johnson is President of the United States. The blow is sudden, hor- rible and irretrievable. Never since the death of Henry LV. by the.hand of Ravaillac—neyer, perhaps, since the assassination of Cesar, has amurder been committed more momentous in its bea upon the times. In the very height and plenitude of his triumph--at the moment es all his hopes seemed fulfilled, and all his labors rewarded, when the capitulation of his most powerfal enemy had placed within bis gtasp that prize of empire which he had so long and so earnestly striven—Abraham Lin- con was smitten tothe earth by a dastardly assassin, who shot him throngh the head from behind. ‘The commander ofarmies that the Macedo- nian or the Roman might have envied, the leader in the most gigantic struggle of the nineteenth century, the ruler, or likely soon to be the ruler, of the most populous, and, in the opinion of many, the mightiest nation in the modern civilized world, the man who hag risen from low estate to a poweras vast as Was .ever wielded by & mortal, whose’ recent suc- cesses has astonished and bewildered the uni-* veree, ismow reduced to some six feet of common clay. Alltexts and sermons of the mutability of human affairs, and the insta- pility of life, pale into insignificance before this tremendous commentary. uch as we haye condemned the attitude of the American people during this civil war, and though we aye fri the first opposed the policy and censured the acts of the late President of the United States, we must sympathize with the nation which is widowed by this sudden bereavement. Now thathe is dead the good qualities of, the unfortunate Lincoln seem to come into the foreground. We remember his honesty and his manliness, we dojustice to his consistency, we give him all praise for the yeaiae of conciliation which he has shown, for bis refusal to be borne along by the sanguinary connsels of his friends: we Make some allow- ance for frequent and untimely levity; we almost excuse his obstinacy in the prosecution, ofthe war. Such, we are almost persuaded, will be the sentiments ofevery right-minded Englishman, and they will be shared in by the vast majority of the Confederatepeople. He is gone; the pilot is gone. His country is left to to toss in the sea of a dismal anarchy, arevo-~ lotion of which no man can presume to fore- tell the issue. ‘ [From the London Globe, April 27.) It is too soon te anticipate the depth and breadth of this great calamity to America and Europe. Mr. Lincoin had come nobly througha great ordeal. He had extorted the approval even of his opponents, atleaston this side of the water. They had come to admire, reluctantly, his firmness, honesty, fairness and sagacity. He had tried to do, and he had done, what he considered to be his Wuty with mag- nanimity. He had never called for vengeance upon any one. Inhis dealings with foreign countries, and in his expressions with regard to them, he had come to beremarkabie, because among American Presidents heshoweéd @ just- ness of view and tone which was not common. In the-hour when the canse. he had labored fer was about to triumph, and peace once more prevail over a torn and bleeding continent, he ‘was shot in the back at a theatre by a coward- ly assassin. {From the Manchester Examiner, April 27.] The death of ‘Mr. Lincoln touches all hearts with the tenderest pity. It is sad beyond ex- pression to see him ronghly shot down by a ruthless assassin, just as he was reaching the climax of his career; just as the people whom he 80 deyutedly served were beginning to do full justice to his simple and noble nature; just as the storms with which he so heroically struggled were passing away, and in the sun- shine of peace he could look forward to the speedy re lization of his highest hopes. In him the nx, on has lost an honest statesman, an incorruptible patriot, @ sagacious ggide, and the loss occurs at the very crisis when his great qualities were more than ever required to assist in Solying the knotty questions which ‘are likely to arise out of the termination of the war. * * * * * From the Pall-mall Gazette.) Since the day when Henry LV. was stabbed by Ravaillac, a fouler,a more detestable, or more deplorable event than the assassinatieu of President Lincoln was never committed in this world. The loss itself is unspeakably great, not only to the United States, but toour- selves. For four years Mr. Lincoln discharged the most difficult duties which could fall to the lot of a human being, not indeed in a way to strike the ipagin ation of those who care for mere external show, but with & degree of sub- stantial judgment and good sense which it would be almost impossible to overrate. He ‘was our best iriend. He never lent himself to the purposes of that foolish and wicked mi- nority which tried toset enmity between Amer~- ica and England., He never said or wrote an unfriendly word about us. It would be hard to show that he made one false step in the management of the great trust committed to him.
