"Lndon, April 26." The intelligence of the assassination of President Lincoln and of the attempt to assassinate Mr. Seward caused a modst xtraordinary senation in the cityyesterday. Towards nioon the news became known, and it spread rapidly from mouth to mouth in all directions. At first many were in. credulous as to the truth of the rumour, and somo believed it to have been set afloat for purposes in connexion with the Stock-Exchange. Thehoaseof PeabodyandCo., American bankers, in Broad-street, had received early intelligence of tho assassination, ana from tbere the news was carried to the Bank of England, whence it quickly radiated in a thousand directions. Meanwhile it was being wafted far and wide by the second editions of the morning papers, and iaa supplemented later in the day by the publication of ad- ditional particulars. Shortly after 12 o'clock it was com- municated to the Lord Mayor whilo he was sitting in the Justice-room of the Mansion-house, and about the same time "the istar-spangled banner" was hoisted half-mast high over tho American Consulate at the corner of Grace- church-street. The same flag had but a fevw days be- fore floated in trinmph from the same place on. the entry of the Federals into Richmond, and stiU later on tho surrender of General Lee. Between 1 and 2 'clock the third edition of The Times, containing a circumstantial narrative of the affair, made its appearnce in the city, and became imme- diately in extraordinary demand. A newsveudor in the Royal Exchange was selling it athalf.a.crown a copy,and by half-Past 3 o'clock it could not be bad there for money. The excitement caused by the intelligence was manifest in the public streets, and the event was the theme of conversa- tioa everywhere. The revival of the affair of the Road-hill murder, which in the earlier part of theday had created a profound sensation, sank into insignificance in, comparison with the interest and astonishment excited by the news of the tr agedy at Washington., A photographer in Cornhill, " taking time by the forelock," exhibited ca-*s of the de- ceased President in his window, inscribed "the late Mr. Lincoln," and accompaniedby au account of the assasina- tion, cut from the second edition of a contemporary. Throughout the remainder of the day the evening papers were sold in unexampled numbers, and often at double and tretle the ordinary pri^o, all evincing the universal interest flt in tho astounding intelligence. LIVE1RPOOLt, Arms.s 26. The reading of thotelegram announcing tho assassina- tion of President Lincoln produced a general exprssion of horror and disgust on the Liverpool Exchange to-day. At first it was allegedi that the assassin was a Confederate, but the Southern men iudignantly repudiated the impu- tation, and some of them who bad known Booth positively asserted that he was an abolitionist of the Johnston and Butler school, and had been known to be mad for some months. The fiags on the Town- haU and Exchange-buildings were hoisted half.mast, aud iu the course of tho day a proposal to hold separate meetiogs of the Northern and Southern men for the pur pose of expressing their abhorrence at the crime met with general aecniescence. The effect of the news on 'Change was a rise in cotton and the Confederate Loan, and a decline in Federal securities. MANCHESTER, APRRL 2f. Such a state of excitement as was produced by the news of President Lin^oln's assassination this morning was never witnessed here before. Oa the Exchange and everywhere the general expression. was one of reprobation and. horror 'that such a crime should have been committed. The news pat a stop to a,l business, and the day has passed away in mere talk ana excitement. BIRMNGHAM, WIMqgsDAY BVYMmG The news of the assassination of the President of tho United States has produced a profound sensation here, and as much of sympathy, consternation, and dismay as can be conceiveda in fact, as to all of these feelings, second only to one other calamity which might have ifflicted. this nation and the world. It was a little past 12 o'clock when the first telegram wasreceived here announcing this sad occurrence. Like all other bad news this spread rapidly, and in less than half an hour the Exchange, where the telegrams were posted, 'was thronged with persons in whose faces were depicted an expression of the deepest anxiety. Very many were reluctant to believe the news, and in a state of feverish and eager desire clung to the hope that the tele- gram was somastock-jobbingtrick or fraud for some sinister purposo; and in these times when so much is done for the sake of creating asensation,or for some more unworthy end, it is no wonder that even the publia should it length have been taught tobecautioas, andbereluctanttoswallow tho highly-spiced dishes sct before it. Nearly three houra passed awaywithout the receipt of any confirmation of the first telegram, and hope was reviving when the full details of the appalling tragio oceurrences just perpetrated At Washington came to hand. There was no face in which grief was not depicted, no sentiment uttered but that of abhorrende at these foul crimes. Of the trath of that.the American people may rest assured, so far as this town is concerned, for although there has always been a strongfeeling of sympathy here for the Southerners, and nevermoresothan during the last bours of the gigantic efforts of the noble-hearted Lee and his valiant soldiers, there is nothing but detestation at the foul murder with which this fratricidal war has been crowned. The Mayorwas absent in Londou when thisnflictingnews was received, but his worship was immediately telegraphed to by Mr. Aldermsan Hawkes, with the view of some imme- diate expression in reference to this untoward event by the people of the town. W 1kes Booth, the assassiu of President Lincoln, is said to be the son of anEnglish tragedian, whom some of our theatri- cal readers may, perhaps recollect. He (the father) is thu desoribed in the American E Jycopdi,.- ILDlooth, lunius Brt, an EngEish tragedian, born in Lonaon, May 1, 1796, died oan the passage fronm. New Or- leans to Cincinnati, December, 1852. After fulfiUing en- gagements at Deptford, near London, and other plaees, and even performinglat Brussels in 1814 he inade his d4bdt at Covent-gardea heatre, in London, as Richard IIL. 'is persoinal resemblance tp the crookbacked tyrant conformed exactly to the traditions of the stage, and his parsonifica. tion of the character was in other respects so striking that he competed successfully witlh Edmnund Kean, then -just rising into- fame. The managers of Drary-lane induced him to sct there in the same plays with Kean ; but when, after a few nights, he was again announced at Covent-gar- den, his appearace was the signal for a serious theatrical' riot, which resultea in driving him for a time from the Lonn stage. o In 1821. he made hi first ajppuearac in the Unit Stats at Petersburg, Virginia,adiun leTwYorkl, at tile Par Theatre, in the succeeding.year-, on* both of which ocasions bo assumed his ftoourthe chiarac ter of Richard ilL F'rom that [time until tbe close of his life he acted repeatedlly in every theatre in 'the Unitea States, andg in saiterofhcertan irrega- lar habits, which sometimes interfered with the per- formance of his enaements, enjoyed a popularity, which a les gifted actor wioed have forfeited. Dridng the latter pIrt of his life he resiied with his family at Baltimore, making occasional professional excursions to other eitiesu He had just, returned from a ecrative tour to California when he died. The range of characters which Bouth as. aumed was limited, and was confined almost excIhusively to those whioh hiehad studied in the beginning of his career.
