                <text>&lt;p&gt;At the half-yearly general meeting of the Grand Trunk Railroad Company of Canada, held at the London Tavern, London, on Thursday, the 27th of April, 1865, Edward W. Watkins, esq., M. P., in the chair. It was moved by Mr. Filder, seconded by Mr. Champness, and carried unanimously, in solemn silence&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this meeting of holders of property, much of which is protected by the laws and institutions of the United States, desires to express its horror and detestation of the crimes of assassination by which the invaluable life of President Lincoln has been sacrificed, and that of Mr. Secretary Seward placed in extreme jeopardy, and to record its conviction that a grievous loss has thereby been occasioned not only to the United States, but to the civilized world at large.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: We, the undersigned, Mauritian colored gentlemen, resident in London, assembled in committee, have resolved to send this address to the representative of the United States in England, as the tribute of our warm admiration for the patriotic deeds of the Chief American Magistrate, whose assassination has horrified the civilized world.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We, colored men, natives of Mauritius, have placed an implicit faith in all those liberal views of the late Mr. Abraham Lincoln&amp;rsquo;s government, acting as barriers against the lawless attempts of &lt;em&gt;a slave-holding&lt;/em&gt; community to destroy the glorious, free, and united republic of George Washington.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Be assured, sir, that by expressing our abhorrence of the murder of Mr. Abraham Lincoln, we echo the opinion of our colored brethren in Mauritius.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The fiend-like assassin who cruelly butchered your late illustrious President at the time when the Union armies were successful everywhere and the slave empire was crumbling to the dust, has not only deprived the United States of one of its noblest citizens, of one of its most virtuous patriots, but also the suffering and enslaved colored race living in abjectness in your country of their kind and staunch protector.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We beg, sir, that you will convey to the authorities of your great and free republic the expression of our sentiments of admiration for the chivalrous conduct of your late lamented and deeply-regretted President in the hour of triumph, and of our feelings of horror and disgust on hearing of his assassination.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We subscribe ourselves, yours, obediently,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;POLYXENES VANDAGUE, &lt;em style="font-weight: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;TH.

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of Americans resident in London, holden at St. James&amp;rsquo;s Hall on the first day of May, 1865, his excellency Charles Francis Adams in the chair, it was resolved unanimously&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That we have heard with the greatest indignation and the most profound sorrow of the assassination which has deprived our country of its beloved Chief Magistrate, as well as of the audacious assault which has greatly perilled the lives of the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of State, and that we regard the taking of the life of our chief executive officer, while our country is passing through unparalleled trials, after all loyal Americans had learned to love him, and, with good men the world over, to confide in him, and when so much of national and individual welfare and happiness depended on his existence, as the great crime of the ninteenth century, memorable in its atrocity and entailing on its perpetrator the execrations of mankind.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That we tender to Mrs. Lincoln our heartfelt sympathy and expressions of condolence in the great affliction that she and her family and the nation have sustained.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That in the long public career of Andrew Johnson, now President of the United States, the early and preeminent sacrifices he made from his devotion to the cause of the Union, and his pledges to maintain the great principles of human liberty, we have every assurance that he will faithfully prosecute to its final success the wise, humane, and statesmanlike, domestic, and foreign policy of President Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That as loyal Americans, we have witnessed with peculiar pleasure the expressions of indignation and sorrow throughout Great Britain at the assassination of President Lincoln, and (he cordial and hearty sympathy which has been extended by the people of this realm to the government and people of the United States in this great bereavement and public calamity.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That copies of these resolutions be transmitted to the President of the United States and to Mrs. Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolution of the German National Verein in London&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: At to-day&amp;rsquo;s meeting of the German National Verein in London, to which meeting the Germans resident in London were invited, it was resolved to express at the same time our joy at the victory of the free States of the Union, and our horror of the crime perpetrated upon the life of your noble President, whose fidelity to the cause of humanity we admired, long before his kindness to the conquered and his glorious martyrdom reconciled to him even those who had so long been his antagonists.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We consider it an important sign of our time that, as this great and good man, who held the helm of your state during this tempest, had, by his own energy and virtue, risen from the working class, so your actual worthy President, like-wise, shows us a workman of former days, raised to the bead of a grand and mighty community, by his own merit and the free election of his people.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Germany has assisted the giant straggle of freedom in your hemisphere, not by idle sympathy, but with blood and treasure; because, throughout the country the feeling is universal that, as a reverse of the North must have given the severest blow to the growth of democratic institutions in Europe, so your glorious conquest will powerfully influence and accelerate the triumph of our own freedom. America, during these four years, has fought the battle of liberty for all mankind; for the cause of liberty is the same cause everywhere. The abolition of slavery and the reconstruction of your state into a powerful republic will conduce to the elevation of the laborer, and to the establishment of such forms of government as will secure to the will of the true majority the sway over the destinies of every nation in Europe.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;May we be allowed to convey to your excellency these sentiments of our countrymen, and to sign, with the expression of our highest consideration,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;Somewhat of the tenderness of private personal feeling mingles with our sense of a great public calamity in which the whole civilized world shares; as Mr. Lincoln shewed great kindness to our manager when seeking labor in the United States, and took an interest in the company&amp;rsquo;s affairs, we thus deem ourselves called on, peculiarly, to express that sincere sympathy which is universal, for the sad loss which the people of the United States have sustained by the death of so honest, so humane, so sagacious, so good, and so great a chief. Permit me to add to yourself the expression of our personal regard. I am, sir, your excellency&amp;rsquo;s most obedient servant,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Dear Sir&lt;/span&gt;: We, the members of the &amp;ldquo;Working Men&amp;rsquo;s Christian Institute,&amp;rdquo; Parker street, Drury Lane, W. C., in meeting assembled, beg to convey to Mrs. Lincoln, to the United States government, and to the American people, our deep sympathy with them in the great loss they have sustained by the &lt;em&gt;martyrdom&lt;/em&gt; of President Lincoln, and we fervently hope that the principles of Union and emancipation, which were so dear to the late lamented President, and in the defence of which his blood was shed, may become still dearer to the American people, and that, from the present struggle, the United States may come forth a glorious, a united, and a free nation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Mr. President&lt;/span&gt;: In presence of the sombre tomb which encloses the body of citizen Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and member of the Grand Lodge of New York, the undersigned, delegates from the lodge of Gymnosophists in London, have the honor of transmitting to you the expression of their fraternal regret for the loss of one of the greatest citizens of the republic of America.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Abraham Lincoln is no more! He has given his blood for the social restoration of the most pitiable portion of humanity. Death to him is not annihilation; but the beginning of a new life, that will endure as long as the memory of man.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The lodge to which we belong has decided to wear mourning for a month, in commemoration of that heroic and unfortunate death, and takes this occasion of requesting you, Mr. President, to accept the expression of the regrets which we send in the name of our brethren, and our best wishes for the prosperity of your country and your own personal happiness.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At a large meeting of work-people, in the Leeds Working Men&amp;rsquo;s Hall, on Thursday evening, April 27, held to hear a dramatic reading, opportunity was taken to show the deep feeling of sympathy felt among the working classes for their brethren in America on the sad loss of President Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The following resolution was unanimously carried, with a request that the American consul in Leeds would kindly forward it to the proper quarter:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, This meeting desires to express its deep and heartfelt sympathy with the people of the United States on the terrible bereavement they have just experienced in the assassination of President Lincoln, and its feeling of horror at the cowardly murder by which they have been deprived of a sound leader, a wise counsellor, a beloved friend, and an honest man. In Abraham Lincoln the working classes of this country have long had the fullest confidence, as the uncompromising enemy of the detestable institution of slavery; and although recent victories had placed his enemies at his feet, his noble-heartedness and kindly disposition led him to extend forgiveness to them, in the hope of restoring peace and unity among the American people.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;This meeting prays that God, in His infinite mercy, will so direct the rulers of America that peace may be soon restored, the Union cemented, and slavery forever abolished.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;FRED. R. SPARK, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Vice-President, Chairman&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of the committee of the Liverpool Emancipation Society, held May 3, 1865, the following resolutions were passed unanimously, and ordered to be forwarded to his excellency the Hon. C. F. Adams, for transmission to the government of the United States:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That the Liverpool Emancipation Society, in recording its deepest sorrow for the death of President Lincoln, cut off as he has been in the midst of a life of usefulness rarely equalled, expresses its sympathy with his bereaved family in their affliction and with the people of the United States in their loss.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That the society expresses at once its sympathy with Mr. Seward and his family in their sufferings, and its heart-felt satisfaction that the purposes of the assassin were in this case frustrated.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That, in conveying to the people of the United States this testimony of sorrow for their bereavement, this society also records its profoundest thankfulness that, in the good providence of God, the great cause of emancipation, so nobly carried out during the last four years by President Lincoln and the legislature, is in the safe keeping of a people fully awakened to a sense of its responsibility; a people resolved to make peace on the basis of freedom only, and thus hand down to succeeding generations a heritage enlarged, ennobled and consecrated by the precious blood of martyrs.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p class="salute"&gt;Signed on behalf of the society:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;CHARLES WILLSON, &lt;em style="font-weight: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chairman of Committee&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;I have been requested to convey to you, as the representative of the United States at this port, the expression of the deep sympathy and condolence of this association, in common with the country at large, at a calamity so awful and which has impressed our body with the strongest feelings of profound regret and indignation, as well as of commiseration, for a people with whom we are so closely allied in the bonds of good will, as well as in the daily business of our lives. I trust you will favorably receive this imperfect assurance, that in the terrible blow which it has pleased God to inflict on your great nation they and you have the utmost possible sympathy of the members of our association, both individually and collectively, In the absence (from ill-health) of our president, Edgar Musgrove, esq., I beg to subscribe myself on behalf of this association, with all respect, sir, your obedient humble servant,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of the council of the Mercantile Marine Service Association, held at the offices of the association, 66 Tower buildings, Water street, Liverpool, on Monday, the 1st of May, 1865, Captain Benjamin Sproule in the chair, it was&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unanimously resolved&lt;/em&gt;, (on the motion of Captain James W. Jeffrey, seconded by Captain James R. Rea,) That this association desires to express, in the strongest possible terms, its deep feelings of sorrow and indignation at the recent foul assassination of Mr. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and also at the diabolical attempt, made about the same hour, upon the lives of Mr. Secretary Seward and his son, Mr. Seward, the under secretary.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was further&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unanimously resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this association also ventures to place on record its heartfelt sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln and her family in the irreparable loss they have sustained in the awfully sudden and truly sad and unlooked for departure from among them of the late President of the United States, and the association earnestly hope that consolation be ministered to them in this bitter hour of trial and distress.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was also&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unanimously resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the secretary do transmit copies of the foregoing resolutions, through the proper channel, to Mr. President Johnson, as representing the American people, and to Mrs. Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the president be requested to forward a copy of this resolution to his excellency Charles Francis Adams, the American minister, for transmission to his government at Washington, and that copies be also sent to Mrs. Lincoln and the honorable W.

&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of the inhabitants of Liverpool, held in St. George&amp;rsquo;s Hall, on the evening of Thursday, the 27th of April, 1865, called for the purpose of expressing sorrow and indignation at the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, the following resolutions were passed unanimously:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;1. That this meeting of the inhabitants of Liverpool records its horror and detestation of the atrocious assassination perpetrated at Washington, on the fourteenth of this month.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;2. That this meeting desires to express its deepest sympathy with the families of President Lincoln and Mr. Seward in the great affliction which has befallen them.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;3. That this meeting desires, also, to express its profound sympathy with the people of the United States in the loss they have sustained by the death of President Lincoln, and its earnest hope that the events we now deplore may not imperil or delay the triumph of freedom and of right, or the restoration of peace in America.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;4. That the resolutions now passed be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting, and be transmitted through the proper authorities to Washington.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolution passed at a meeting held by the town council of the royal burgh of Lanark&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At an ordinary monthly meeting of the town council of the royal burgh of Lanark, before proceeding to the ordinary business of the meeting, the following resolution was unanimously agreed to:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this council desire, in common with every public body in the British nation, to express their feelings of horror on learning of the dastardly murder of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America. This crime, which would have been atrocious under any circumstances, is rendered doubly so in this instance, from its having been committed upon a man whose honesty of purpose, gentleness of disposition and greatness of character were becoming fully appreciated by the whole civilized world, and were of peculiar value in the crisis which the American nation had just reached. This council cannot, under such circumstances, refrain from expressing their deep sympathy with the people of that country in the great loss they have just sustained, and more especially with Mrs. Lincoln, to whom the loss must be altogether irreparable, and for this purpose order a copy of this minute, signed by the provost on behalf of the council, to be forwarded to the ambassador of the United States of America in London.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;ALEXANDER MAXWELL ADAMS, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Provost&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
