&lt;p&gt;Nicolls, R. E., and fifty-five others.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The honorable W. S. Seton-Karr proposed the following resolution:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;The resolution being seconded by Baboo-Ramanath-Tagore, was carried unanimously.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Mr. J. H. Ferguson then moved the following resolution:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That the justices desire to express their deep sympathy for the widow and the children of the late President, and for the American people, under the loss they have sustained.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The resolution was seconded by Dr. Brougham, and carried unanimously.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Mr. Remfry then moved&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That these resolutions be communicated to the consul general for the United States in this city, with a request that he will transmit the same to the widow of the late President and to the American government.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved, nemine contradicente&lt;/em&gt;, That this house has with deep regret heard of the act of atrocity by which the late President of the United States was suddenly deprived of life, and the house hereby tenders to the family of the deceased President and to the people of the United States this expression of sincere sympathy at the calamitous event.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolution of the Birkenhead Working Men&amp;rsquo;s Association&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: I beg to communicate to you the following resolution, proposed by the Rev. Mr. Downe, and seconded by Mr. Graham, and which was unanimously carried at a large meeting of the Birkenhead Working Men&amp;rsquo;s Association, held in the Craven Rooms here last night, and which I, as chairman, was requested to forward to you.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this meeting views with deep concern and indignation the late atrocious murder of Mr. Lincoln, the able and popular President of the United States of America, and expresses its sympathy with the great American people in the present crisis of their affairs.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to this unanimous expression of the feelings of those present at the meeting, I may be permitted to add that I myself cordially respond to the sentiments expressed, and view with deep grief the melancholy end and sad loss of one whom I regarded as a just and good man, and a wise and merciful ruler, and that I hope it may please God to dispel the dark cloud that this event has cast over the American nation, and out of the present evil to bring forth future and lasting good, for the welfare and happiness of our afflicted kinsmen.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient servant,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p class="flushleft"&gt;Resolutions, numbered respectively 1, 2, 3, and 4, adopted unanimously at joint meeting of the inhabitants of the towns of Berlin and Waterloo, Canada West, held at the court-house at Berlin, on Wednesday, the 19th day of April, A D. 1865, in compliance with the proclamations of the reeves of aforesaid corporations, for the purpose of affording the citizens an opportunity of giving expression to their sympathy with the American people, and the bereaved family of the late President, as well as to manifest the deep sorrow and horror felt at the atrocious and appalling crime that resulted in the death of Abraham Lincoln, the late lamented President of the United States of America&amp;mdash;Ward Hamilton Bowlby, esq., reeve of the town of Berlin, presiding as chairman, and Israel D. Bowman, esq., county clerk, acting as secretary.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;No. 1.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by William Jaffray, esq., postmaster, and seconded by Dougall McDougall, esq., county register, and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this meeting of the inhabitants of the towns of Berlin and Waterloo, in the province of Canada, assembled on the funeral day of Abraham Lincoln, late President of the United States, desires, with the deepest sincerity, to express its heartfelt indignation at the cowardly and wanton act by which the President and patriot, the ruler and friend of the republic, has been lost to his country, at the moment of his greatest usefulness, and when he could have almost said of the great work he had undertaken, &amp;ldquo;It is finished &amp;ldquo; In the death of Abraham Lincoln this meeting feels that, while the United States as a nation has lost a firm, yet merciful and amiable ruler, and the people individually a counsellor and friend, the world at large has been bereft at the same time of one whose large-hearted humanity and innate love of freedom and liberal institutions placed him at once in the fore rank of nature&amp;rsquo;s noblemen.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;No. 2.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by the Rev. Dr. Schulte, and seconded by Henry F. J. Jackson, esq., superintendent of schools, and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this meeting tenders the American people, bowed down this day in overwhelming sorrow over the mortal remains of their late illustrious Chief Magistrate, the expression of their heartfelt sympathy at the national calamity with which it has pleased an all-wise Providence to afflict them. That they regard the dastardly and barbarous murder of President Lincoln not only as an irreparable loss to the American nation in the present momentous crisis of their history, but as a common loss to humanity, liberty, and the brotherhood of mankind all the world over.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;No. 3.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by John J. Bowman, esq., editor, and seconded by the Rev. F. A. Kaessman, and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this meeting would desire, most respectfully and tenderly, to express their sympathy for Mrs. Lincoln and family, in the sore and affecting bereavement which, in the inscrutable dispensation of an overruling Providence, they have sustained, having at one fell blow, &amp;ldquo;in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,&amp;rdquo; been robbed of husband, parent, and friend. May He who ruleth all things well comfort and sustain them in this hour of their deepest grief.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;No. 4.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by John A. Mackie, esq., justice of the peace, and seconded by Henry S. Huber, esq., crown land agent, and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to his excellency the governor general of British North America, respectfully requesting that he transmit the same to the Secretary of State of the United States of America.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Certified to be true copies.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;W. H. BOWLBY,&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style="font-weight: inherit;"&gt;Chairman&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolution passed at a meeting of the Northern Presbytery of Antrim&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a stated quarterly meeting of the Northern Presbytery of Antrim, held at Ballyclare on the 6th day of July, 1865, the Rev. William Bruce, A. B., moderator, in the chair, it was&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved unanimously&lt;/em&gt;, That at this our first meeting since the lamented death of the honorable Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, we feel called upon to record our detestation of the atrocious crime by which he was suddenly cut off in the midst of his days and his usefulness; our participation in the sorrow of the members of his family under the loss which they have thus sustained; and our sympathy with the people of the United States, deprived of a high-minded Chief Magistrate, at the very moment when his invincible firmness and undaunted fortitude had been rewarded with success more complete than usually attends on the wisest of human counsels; and when, from his high character, there was every reason to expect that moderation in victory, and that merciful consideration towards a vanquished enemy, which, accompanying the glorious emancipation of the slave, would have forever associated the name of Lincoln with that of Washington as marking the introduction of a new and happy era in the history of his country.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That we desire to express our earnest hope that the government and people of the United States will employ their utmost efforts to consummate their great victory in the manner most consistent with Christian principle, most accordant with the soundest policy, and best corresponding with the dignity of a great and magnanimous nation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Signed in the name and by order of the presbytery.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;WILLIAM BRUCE, A. B.,&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style="font-weight: inherit;"&gt;Moderator&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;That this meeting desires to record its profound sympathy with the people of the United States, in this hour of national bereavement, and especially with the widow of their twice elected chief, the intensity of whose grief is increased by the atrocious nature of the deed which has snatched her husband from her side.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by the Rev. W. R. Brown, seconded by Mr. Welsby&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this meeting earnestly hopes that the mantle of the murdered President may fall upon his successor in office; that he may be equally distinguished for his firmness of principle, the wisdom of his decisions, the clemency of his actions, and the general kindness of his heart.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by Mr. D. Thomas, seconded by Mr. William Pickstone&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this meeting sincerely hopes that a fraternal feeling may pervade the lately divided sections of the great republic; and that its future prosperity may be guaranteed by the removal of slavery, the return of peace, and the development of the unlimited resources of the country.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by the Rev. G. Fletcher, seconded by Mr. Wormald&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be sent to Mr. 0. F. Adams, the American minister in London, with a request that he will kindly forward them to his government at Washington.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At a public meeting on Tuesday evening, called by the mayor, at the request of a large number of the citizens of this town, for the purpose of expressing their feelings of condolence in regard to the assassination of the late President of the United States, the mayor was called to the chair, and Mr. D. Wylie-appointed secretary.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The Rev. Mr. Poole opened the meeting with prayer; after which the following resolutions were passed:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by the Rev. J. V. Smith, A. M., seconded by D. Wylie, esq, and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Resolved, That we, the inhabitants of Brockville, in public meeting regularly assembled, hereby express unfeigned sorrow at the death, by assassination, of Abraham Lincoln, late President of the United States, and our deep abhorrence of the crime committed, a crime at which humanity shudders. We also offer our sympathy with the citizens of that nation in the great loss which they have thereby sustained; and we further express our sincere condolence with the sorrowing widow and family, in the heart-rending bereavement, with which, in the inscrutable providence of God, they have been afflicted.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by J. McMullen, esq., seconded by the Rev. Mr. Poole---&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That it being highly desirable that the citizens of Brockville should express by some public act, or acts, their profound sympathy with the people of the United States, in the great affliction which the allwise providence of God has permitted them to be subjected to, be it, therefore,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Resolved by this meeting, That all places of business in the town of Brockville shall be closed on to-morrow (Wednesday) from 12 to 2 o'clock, that being the period for the late lamented President Lincoln's public funeral services, that the bells of the town be tolled, all flags raised at half-mast, and every other mark of sympathy and respect shown as may be practicable.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by Lieutenant Colonel Edmonston, seconded by J. McMullen, esq., and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Resolved, That this meeting cannot permit itself to separate without expressing a hope that the melancholy death of the late President will not complicate the public affairs of the United States, that peace will soon happily be restored, and that the good understanding which now subsists between the governments of the United States and of Great Britain will remain undisturbed for all time to come.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by R. W. Kelly, esq., seconded by Wellington Landon, esq., and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting forward a copy of the above resolutions to the Secretary of State, at Washington; and also give direction that they be published in each of the local journals of Brockville.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by Rev. Mr. Poole, seconded by W. H. Wilson, esq., and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Resolved, That the chairman do now leave the chair, and that Dr. Edmondston do take the same.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman and secretary, when the meeting broke up.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;A. B. Dana, Mayor,&lt;br /&gt; Chairman.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;D. Wylie,&lt;br /&gt; Secretary.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Dated at Brockville, Canada West, this 19th day of April, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

We believe there is not a Christian community who will not, by deep and heartfelt sympathy, participate with you, and with your country, in an expression of grief and sorrow at this event, as well also of their horror and execration of the murderers.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The inhabitants of the village of Broomfield, in the county of Essex, in England, have been reminded of this terrible crime when assembled for Divine worship, and having prayed with especial reference to the calamities of the war now devastating your land, that Almighty God would mercifully grant peace and concord to all nations.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;They desire to express to your excellency their sincere condolence; and they further desire their church wardens will cause this document to be forwarded to Mr. Adams, the American minister, for transmission to the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolution passed at a meeting held at Burnham, Somersetshire&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Honored Sir&lt;/span&gt;: The underneath resolution was unanimously passed on Wednesday last, by a crowded meeting in the Union Chapel, Edith Meol, Burnham, Somersetshire, at the close of a lecture delivered by the Reverend J. S. Balmer, of Bridgewater, on &amp;ldquo;the late President Lincoln, and his assassination,&amp;rdquo; and I have now the honor, as chairman of the meeting, to forward the same to your excellency.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;That this meeting desires to express its horror and indignation at the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the late distinguished President of America, and to assure the bereaved widow, and the American people, of its deepest sympathy with them in their hour of great trial. It would further express the ardent prayer that America may yet come out of this struggle, trusting in God, who has hitherto been its helper, and that, guided by Him, it may be led to permanent peace, great prosperity and entire national freedom.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p class="flushleft"&gt;&lt;em&gt;To the people of the United States of America&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The address of the inhabitants of the borough of Brighton, in the county of Sussex, in public meeting assembled, on the 2d of May, 1865:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We, the inhabitants of Brighton, in public meeting assembled, desire to express our utter abhorrence and indignation at the atrocious murder of Mr. Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States, by the hand of a ruthless assassin, and the profound sympathy of our hearts towards those who are our brethren in origin, at the awful calamity which has thus befallen their great nation and stricken us with amazement and terror.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;While we recognize an overruling Providence in all things, it is beyond human power to fathom the depths of this mysterious dispensation at so eventful a crisis in your history.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It is our confident hope and earnest prayer that America may speedily emerge from this sad sorrow, and all her troubles, and continue with our nation the happy relations of peaceful commerce for generations to come.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p class="salute"&gt;Signed on behalf of the meeting.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: At a meeting of the members of the Bristol Workingmen&amp;rsquo;s Club and Institute and others, held last evening in the hall of the club premises, to propose a resolution of condolence with Mrs. Lincoln and the American people upon the great loss which they have sustained, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;That this meeting, consisting of members of the Bristol Workingmen&amp;rsquo;s Club and Institute and others, have heard with grief and indignation the sad intelligence of the assassination of President Lincoln; that it desires to express its deep sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln in her bereavement, earnestly praying that the Almighty Disposer of events may support her in this her hour of trial, and in His own good time overrule for good the terrible calamity which has befallen the American nation.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I am instructed to have it forwarded to Mr. Adams, at the Legation in London, for presentation through him to Mrs. Lincoln and the American people. Will you do me the favor to get this done, at the same time expressing to him the mingled feelings of indignation and sorrow which filled the hearts of those present, and which led them to take this early opportunity for the expression of their sympathy.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to be, sir, yours, very respectfully,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
