Poteison A Brotbers, and all other boobsol lcrs. The Frenob edition, pabluhed by D. Appleton a 00., oan be obtained from Aehmead k Erans, Obestnnt street Boferrlng to the Messrs. Pennington’s Bulletin BiUiognphique, whlok gives a list, monthly, of all the now boobs published In France, we have been struefc With the singular faot that Napoleon’s His tory or Julius Csssar is muoh dearer in Paris than in this eountry. The work has appeared there in two forms one, in quarto, at SO franos (ten dollars In gold) per volume—another In ootavo, at 10 franos per volume, but to this Is added five franos more for tbe maps, which are given In the quarto volume without ejtra oharge. The New York editions, which are the perfection of typographical execution, are apout half the prloe of the Paris books. Translations of Carlylo’s History of the Frenoh Sevolntlon, Edgar Foe’s grotesque and serious tales, Moore’s Epicurean, Washington Irving’s Life of Mahomet, and Merlvale’s History of the Bo mans under the Empire, have lately appeared In Paris. “ Hours at Home,” a new magazine of religious and useful literature, published by Mr. O. sarlbner. Ntw York, has been forwarded to us by Mr. T. B. Pugh, sixth and Chestnut, who is agent In this olty to receive subscriptions and deliver suborlbors’ copies at their own houses, free of oharge. Our opinion of this periodical, making every allowance for Its being the Brßt number, Is favorable, on the whole, and we oordlallv wish It sueoess, If Its con ductor, Mr. James M. Sherwood, will keep his pro. nilso that It 11 will [shall 1] bo animated also by a Catbolle tplrlt, so that It may belong to the whole American Church.” A list of thlrty-slx ” eminent” contributors is given, among whom are twen’y-seven Doctors or Divinity, (two of whom also write- DUD. after their names,) four Dootors of Daw, ton University Presidents or Professors, one Bishop, one untitled- olergyman, and two laymen, one of whom Is also M. D. We know something abont periodical literature, and therefore do not hesitate to say that'snob a elorleal force as this U overweight for any magazine Intended to be popu lar, by uniting useful with religious literature. The articles In the opening number are the work of nine Dootors ol Divinity, two Professors, and three or four lay-writers. The best, as also the most praotlcal,- artlcle Is “Have wo found the Nllol” by Dr. J. P. Thompson, who shares and justifies the doubts we have repeatedly expressed of Captain Speke’s dis covery of the real source of the Nile. There Is also a good article on Cornelius, the Gorman painter, bnt it Is oopled from the Art Journal of London. No article can be considered below mediocrity, except Professor Noah Porter’s “ Lyman Beecher and Martin Luther,” In which a comparison is absurdly strained. Strange to say, the poetical contributions are of more than average merit. We wish all success to Hours ol Home, the object of whieh is admirable, bnt no magazine In tended for general or even family reading oan have any lair chanae with tbe lay element so much ex eluded from' Its contents. A phalanx of olerleal contributors would swamp the publication certainly and soon. 11 Life In Heaven,” by the author of “ Heaven onr Home” and “Meet for Heaven,” published by Ro berts Brothers, Boston, uniform with these volumes, has shared their great popularity In England, thongh the author has ohoseu to remain anonymous. We earnestly recommend It for family reading, Beoelved from J. B. Ltpplncott A Co. DlckS Fitzgerald, iNew York, have published, Illustrated with more than a thousand wood en gravings, a 12mo. volume, entitled “ That’s It; or, Plain Teaching.” It contains a large amount of useful information on a variety of subjects—art, science, mechanics, natnre, manufactures. Inven tions, Ac.—and Is admirably Indexed. Another volume from the same publishers Is “ Wright’s Book of 3,000 Practloal HeoelptS i or, Complete Book of Reference.” It gives faots, use ful and Interesting, about cookery, pastry, pre serving, pickling, confectionery, distilling, per fumery, varnishing, ohemleals, dyeing, and agricnl ture. Beoelved lrom J. B. Uppir.oott A Co, '' Six months ago Hnnt’s Improved Map of Warren county, Pa. (published byj. P. Hunt, Pittsburg), on the scale or an inch to the mile, and with every holding separately marked dawn, would have found many a purchaser among oil speculators, oven If one hundred dollars had been the price set upon It. Now It can be obtained for a trifle, and Its publish, er’s character gives assuranoe of US accuracy. He has already brought out a largomap of the Ycnango OU Regions, and- of West Virginia aTl( i Ohio OU Regions, and is preparing maps of Clarion, Fa r ette, and Greene counties, and of Mecca Oil Regions. The Illustrated Hand Book of Billiards, In which the American game Is treated by Mlehael Phelan, and the French game by Claudius Berger, is pub lished by Dlok & Fitzgerald, New York, and will be found especially nseful to ladles and novices be ginning to learn the game. Walker, Fuller, & Co., Boston, have published “Berlin 11 as the sixth volume of their juvenile series, “Spectacles for Young Eyes,” by Sarah W. Lander. It Is neatly and liberally illustrated, and will give the young reader a pretty good Idea of the Prussian oapital. Smith, English, & Co. have sent us “The An nual of Scientific Discovery In 18115,” published by Gould & Lincoln, Boston.. This Is the sixteenth volume of a valuable, beoause thoroughly reliable and carefully complied series, which has been edited from the first, we believe, by Dr. David Wells, an accomplished and well-informed original writer on Science and Philosophy. It places be* foie Its readers In the plainest, fullest, yet least diffuse manner, every scientific, geographical, anti' quartan, and mechanical discovery, all over the civilized world, In the year 1864. We notice, with pleasure, the Continued success and Increasing merit ol the Philadelphia Photo grapher, published by Benerman A Wilson, in this olty. In addition to a variety of other Intelligence, It contains accurate reports of the proceedings of the Photographlo Society of Philadelphia. The picture, for this “ merry month or May,” represents the Falls of Melslngah, near the Hudson, not far from Flshklll Landing, printed by R. Newell, Arch street, from a negative by J. C. Browne. Owing to thO peculiarity of the locality, the view was not easily photographed. From Fisher & Brother we have “President Lin coln at Home,” engraved by A. B. Walter, from, bnt not quite as good as, the photograph published by Mr. Charles Desilver, Chestnut street- The boy's head Is not so well represented as In the original photograph. NEWS OF literature. Mr. Carleton, the New York publisher, an nounces a tew story, called “Fairy Fingers,” by Mrs. Ritchie (formerly Mrs. Howatt, the actress); a new novel, entitled “ Hugh Worthington,” by Mrs. Mary J. Holmes, and “ Superior Fishing,” a new book, chatty and genial, by Mr. Robert B. Roosevelt, author of “ The Game Fish of the North.” Untie In Pull. Meyerbeer’s “L’Africaine,” which has been talked about for twenty years at least, Is a length to be presented to the publio. it will be produced at the grand opera in the course of the present week, most likely to-morrow, though the day Is not advertised. A general rehearsal of It took place on Sonday night. For this rehearsal Count Bacciochl, one of the great dignitaries of the court, who is specially charged with theatrical matters, monopolised “ for the servloe of the Em peror,” every place in the house, that la, nobody was allowed to enter except with a tloket given by him, not even the people who rent boxes by the year. By h!s Majesty’s direction he Invited first of all his Majesty’s private friends, and these whom he delights to honor; next, the leading members of the corps diplomatique; next, a considerable num ber of the members of tho Senate and the Corps Leglslatif; next, a few authors and artists, who, as tho French say, ore 6im.en error—stand wellat oourt. This, done, he gave tickets to his own friends, and then'to his friends’ friends. For the rest, few In number, there was fierce competition, and those per. sons who were favored poured blessings on the head ol the count, and those who were refused cursed him. The rehearsal of an opera hardly merits all this pother; but Paris has the pretension to be the greatest artistic and literary city of Europe, and as EUCh the solemn rehearsal of a new opera, by suoh a genius as Meyerbeer, is an event of extra ordinary magnitude. All Paris talks about it, and Quorum pars magna /tri.is said by every one who had the honor and glory to “assist.” A new opera by Yerdl. the Italian composer, based on the tragedy of ’ “ Macbeth,” has _ been brought out at the Thdiitre Lyrlque. In the libretto Sbnktpeare’s great work Is adhered to with more fidelity than Is to be found in his other pieces trans planted to the musical stage. But the general opinion of the French critics Is that Yerdl has not succeeded In producing music worthy of the tragedy. They admit that he has composed some striking morceavx, but they hold that he has failed to render the gloom; grandeur of the piece. One can easily conceive this, seeing that the modern Italian mind can hardly appreciate the men and the deeds of bar barous times In Northern regions. To feel the solemn and fearful beauty of “Macbeth” a man must be a Northern.—Liverpool Courier, April 25. Tbb Fbbhch Navt.—The Opinion Rationale states that the French Imperial Navy Is at present composed of 491 vessls afloat, and 18 on the stocks, classed as follows: Iron-plated steam vessels—2 -hips of-the-Une afloat, 1 building, 11 frigates afloat, 3on the stocks; I corvette on the etocks, none afloat; i coastguard on the stooks, none afloat; 12 floating batteries, and 4on the stocks; 11 batterteß, capable >1 being taken to pieces, afloat, and none on the •tookß. 7 screw steamers, not Iron-plated—36 ships ■Mheline afloat, none building; 28 frigates afloat, <nd lon the stocks; 11 oorvettes afloat, and 3on the docks; 43 colters afloat, and none on the stocks; -8 gun-brigs afloat, and one on the stocks; 46 tran -ports afloat, and 3on the stocks; 4 vessels afloat for pedal service.

Expobt of Salt vboh Gbbat BatTAut.— Tha sports of salt from the United Kingdom in the two norths ending February 28th, this year, amounted o 37.701 tons, as compared with 68,231 tons In 1854, md 64 728 tons in 1863 (corresponding periods). The .spoils to Russia were 233 tons against 365 tons In ■he corresponding period of 1864; to the United States, 8,678 tons against 11,647 tons; to British America, 2.449 tons against 1,222 tons; to British ltdla, 10,144 tons against 28,284 tons; and to other rcuntriee, 18.295 tons against 21,813 tons. There we thus a decrease this Tear In the exports In all dJjectioßß. The declared value of the salt exported to February 28th, this year, was £lB 308 against £26,508 IB 1864, and £28,061 fa 1863 (oorrwpondiag periods). PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAY 12,1865. THE ENGLISH PRESS. Its Comments Upon the Assassination of the Late President. In recognizing the deep feeling whloh has been expressed by the entire English press, and evinced by tbe English people generally, respecting the as* sasslnatlon of the late President, we- may say that It was merely what we anticipated, and, indeed, had a right to expeot. This feeling Is marked by an nniverssl horror at the deed, and we accept it without making any exception to some of the po litical comments on the oondltlou In whloh It Is supposed that It must plunge our nation. From the editorial on the subject In the London D«% tfsws we extract the following eloquent tribute to the memory of the good and great man who wag taken from our midst In tbe hour of his greatest triumph: “In the hour of his groat wo.k done, President Lincoln has fallen. Not, indeed, In the flush of triumph, for no thought of triumph was In that honest and hnmble heart, nor In the Intoxication of applause, for the Unite of victory were not yet gathered in his hand, was the ohlef of the American people, the foremost man in the great Christian re volution of onr age, sttuok down. But (Us task was, nevertheless, accomplished, and tbe battle of his life' was won. So he passes away from the heat and the toll that still have to be endured, full of the honor .that belongs to one who has so nobly done his part, and carrying In bis lwt thoughts the sense of deep steadfast thankfulness that he now oouid see the as sured coming ol that end for whlah he had so long striven tn faith and hope.. Who shall pity or lament such a death, while tbe tears of a nation fall Upon his corpse, and the world softly spoaks-how true and good he was ? Who will not bow the bead submis sive to tbe inscrutable decree which mocks our plans and lanoles, but even In our sorrow makes ns feel that It is wiser, juster, kinder, than onr valmwlsnes might have been 1 For In all time to ooine, not among Americans only, but among all who think of manhood as more than rank, and set worth above display, tbe name of Abrabam Lincoln will bah.M - In reverence. Rising from anting the poorest of the people, winning his slow way upward by sheer.hard work, preserving in every successtve's|ege a charac ter unspotted and a name untainted, securing a' wider respect as ho became bettor known, never pretending to more than he was, nor being less than lb professed himself, he was at length, for very sin gleness of heart and uprightnessofoondaot, because all felt.that they oouid trust him utterly, and would desire to be guided by hie firmness, courage, and sense, plaoed in the ohair Of President at the corn lng point of his nation’s history. A Ufe.so true; re waided by a dignity so majsstlo, was defense enougb against the petty shafts or malice which party spirit, violent enough to light a civil war, aimed against him.” Let us own that to have merited such a tribute, and to have- drawn It from the pen of a foreigner half redeems his bloody death in our eyes from the unmitigated horror whloh well nigh palsied our feelings when we first reaelved tbe Intelligence of lt-by the eleotrio wire. The English Army and So vy Gazette , previous to a very warm>uloglum on the memory of the murdered President, says that “nothing for many years hae moved England like the telegram announcing the event.” In Its com ments upon the assassination, the London Star Is Induced to discuss Southern oompllclty with this crime. The following, as showing what a com pletely re parte feeling may suggest, will more than justify our own strong feelings with regard to It: “ It does not need even the disclosures which have now, too late for any good purpose, reaehod official quarters to prove that two madmen oannot become simultaneously Inspired with the same monstrous project and impelled at the one moment to do th.lr several parts of the one bloody business. The chivalry of the Sonth has had much European com pliment of late It has been discovered to be the fount and origin of all the most noble and knightly qualities which the world heretofore had principal ly known through the medium or modlssval ro mance. Lot It not be forgotten that Southern brains lately planned the conflagration of a peace ful city. Itnever oan be forgotten, while history is read, that the bands of Southern partisans have been reddened by the foulestassassln plot the world has ever knows ; that they have been treacheronßly dipped In the blood of one of the best citizens and purest patriots to whom the land of Washington gave birth.” In describing the manner In whloh the. Intelli gence fell upon the heart of London, tbe London Times ol April mb. says : * “ It is not using the language of hyperbole In describing the prevailing manifestation of feeling as unexampled. President Lincoln was only the chief or a foreign State, with whloh we were not unfre quently In diplomatic or polltloal collision. He might have been regarded as not muoh more to us than tbe head of any friendly Government. And yet hts end has already stirred the feelings of the public to their utmost depths. A spaas of twenty four boms has sufficed to fill the country not only with grief and indignation, bnt to evoke almost un precedented expressions of feeling lrom constituted bodies. It was but ou Wednesday that the Intelli gence reached ns, and on Thursday the Houses of Lords and Commons, the Corporation of London, and the people ol onr ehlef manufacturing towns, In public meetings assembled, had recorded their sentiments or expressed their views. In the House of Lords absenoo of precedent for such manifesta tions was actually made the subjeot of remark. The addresses which the Amerioan people will reoeive from us are expressions of sincere and unaffected sympathy.” In an artlole of the same data as those which wo have previously quoted, It thus speaks of the de ceased President: ' - “The office cast upon him was great, Its duties most onerohs, and the obscurity or 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 manual labor bad necessarily been defective, and faults of man ner and errors of taste repelled the observer at the outset. In spite of these drawbacks, Mr. Lincoln slowly won for himself the respect and confidence of all His perfect honesty speedily became appa rent, and, what Is, perhaps, more to his credit, amid the many unstudied speeches which he was called upon from time to time to deliver. Imbued though they were with the rough humor of his early associates, he was In none of them betrayed into any Intemperance of language toward his oppo nents*cr toward neutrals. His utterances were apparently careless, but his tongue was always under command. The quality of Mr. Lincoln’s Administration, whioh served, however, more than any other, to enlist the'sympathy of bystanders, was Its conservative progress. He felt his way gra dually to his conclusions, and thOße who will com pare the different stages of his oareer one with another,will find Cfiathls mind was growing through out the course? of It. The naivelf with whtoh he once suggested to the negroes that they should take themselves off to Central Amerloa, because their pt esenoe In the States was Inconvenient to the white population, soon disappeared. The gradual change ot his language and of his policy was most remark able. Englishmen learned to respeot a man who showed the best characteristics of their race In his respect for what Is good In the past, acting in unison with a recognition 01 what was made necessary by tho events of passing history. Bnt the growth of Mr. Lincoln’s mind was sub. jeot to a single modification. It would seem that he felt himself of late a mere Instrument, en gaged In working ont a great cause, whioh he oould partly recognize, but which he was powerless to control. In the mined strength and weakness of his character he presented a remarkable contrast to Mr. Seward, who was his ooadjutor for more than four years, and who must, we fear, be reckoned his fellow victim. The Secretary of State, long be fore bis elevation to office, was a prominent oitlzen of New York. More than a quarter or a century ago he was the governor of that State, and for twelve years ha represented It in the Senate. In the Empire City and at Washington he had at talned a culture which tho Illinois lawyer never acquired. But the experience of the politician had, perhaps, weakened the independence of Mr. Sew ard’s oharacter, and he never Inspired the same confidence rb his chief, because |t was not known by what influences bis coarse might not be mo dified.” The Dally Telegraph characterizes the atrocious murder In the following words: “No fonler crime stands ohronioled In all history than the murder of Abraham Lincoln. The sorry pleas of State necessity or polltloal Interest that have been advanced time out of mind to palliate assassination cannot even be heard with toleration In such a case as this, for the aot Is one' that out rages humanity and shooks the oommon conscience Of the world; It Is accursed and supremely Infa mous ;it Is most cowardly, most cruel. Every war has Its horrors, and the great fight between the North and the South has been no exception fir the rnle; bnt there never was anything more atrocious than this—never anything more base than the slaughter of a man who, daring years of great ex. oltencnt, had scarcely made a single personal ene my. A sturdy, sensible Western man, with long limbs and a longer head, Mr. Unooln had worked his way In the world without any dishonorable sub terfuges or mean devices. Clear, direct, simple, and straightforward, he had already, during his brief term of office, outlived many suspicions, jealousies, misconstructions, and dislikes. He bore his honors well, and was settling down into a quiet, simple dignity of manner, and a kindly moderation of thought and temper. Terrible had been the trial through which he bad victoriously passed. He was emphatically one of the people, but his homespun virtues justified the people’s choice. To-day all party feeling, all polltloal jealousies, must be bushed and suspended; to-day no man Is a sympa thizer with North or South. We are all mourners.” After publishing the details of the murder, the London Globe writes thus: “It was easy enough to slay him. He weiftovtnif unguarded. We.were told that assasUnaclon was sot in the American oharacter, as If that character a ere radically different from the character of men in other parts of the world. The lawlessness which prompted men to fire New York, In the hope of burning It down, whioh led the Confederate refu gees in Canada to commit felonies in Vermont, has now struck at the head of the State, and has taken his Hie.” In an article' in the Pall Mall Gazette we find this strongly Indignant portion: “It would be bard to show that he made one false step In the management of the great trust com mitted to him. He Is gone, and Is to be succeeded by Mr. Andrew Johnson, who for the next fohr years Kill be the greatest potentate in the worldj except, perhaps, the Czar. In the absence of all details on 'his subject, it Is Idle to guess at the authors of this -xecrabie crime. The hOC, Indeed, Is so hideous and pernicious to the Interest or the North, the South, md Europe at large, that the author ol it must he cither a madman or a devil. If there is the least reason to suspect the Southern leaders of iany sort -f complicity with this awful wickedness, It will lamn their cause forever, and justify the harshest 'Hogs said against them. We may hope and be ‘ieve, for the honor of human nature, that It Is the act of one Individual wretch, who had not the eense or calmness to guess at the full extent of the conse quences of the aot whioh he did.” from the Newosstle Chronicle we' excise .the fol lowing: “ The news came upon ns like a thunderbolt, and lias given rise to imprecations we dare not) repeat. Knowing what is felt and said In England, we :an well Imagine what Is felt and said In the land wbloh Abraham Lincoln has served and blessed and died for. The slaveowners have done their best and worst. Falling to destroy a great and free Govern ment, they snoceßsfally conspired to murder a ■vent and unbendldg patriot. Hideous as wen their other orlmes, this last surpasses them <ll. Heneeforth they may expect neither mercy cor compassion. Abraham Lincoln was the most popular man In America. He was known and loved. The Idol of a nation he had saved, he has cow become its martyr. To him, it was hoped, the glorious task was entrusted or conciliating the tn -urgents he had subdued. If »U thought Of eenel latlon has now been banished Item the mind of the Northern people—lf desire for vengeance has taken the anxiety for forgiveness—the Blaveowners have 'inly to approach themselves. The universal cry for meroy has to-day given plaee to a load and ezaspe -ated demand for punishment. The fleroe and un relenting disposition that may come of this horrid tonsummatlon of a four years’ struggle for slavery, It is terrible even to contemplate; bnt whatever may happen to the slaveowners now will have to be endured without the poor consolation of English sympathy.” j Bnt we might go on multiplying opinion upon opinion were we inclined to do so. The London Po'il and Herald, the Liverpool and Manchester papers, unite In expressions of horror and disgust aad coincide In the universal “ respect felt by English* men for a man who hasdeveloped the best characteristics cf his race in hit respect for what is good in the past, in unison with a recognition of what was made neces* lory by the events of passing history." The First Liberated Slaves After tbe Emancipation Proclamation. Among the Incidents of the great rebellion which the press is chronicling et this time, is the faot that the (first slaves liberated under the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln were freed by Col. Wu. B. Sipes, -of tbe Tth Pennsylvania Ca valry, a oltlzen of Philadelphia. In September, 18SI, Col Sipes was Military Governor of Covington and Newport,|Ky.? The day on whloh the Emancipation Proclamation was published In the telegraphic news of 'tbe Cincinnati papers, three negroes, servants to officers of the Rebel General Kirby Smith’s army, then invading Kentuokyreieaped- Xrjom their masters, and were brought, by the guards, to Colonel Sipes. He at once Informed them that they were .free by the ao tlon of the President, gave them papers to that effect, and sent an orderly to pass them over the Ohio river. Col. Sipes was notified that his action conflicted with the looal laws of Eentnoky, whloh prohibited negroes, held In bondage, firom leaving that State, unless under oortaln restrictions. He replied tbat his aotlen was purely military—that he was sworn to obey the orders of the President of the United States; and that, as these negroes oame clearly under the provisions of the proclamation, he should liberate them and send them where they could esjoy-thelr freedom. >-The negroes thus released Atom bondage were of more than ordinary intelligence, and appreciated fully the great boon of liberty bestowed upon them. A .Bold Attempt at Swindling ln (Jblca(o. We note the following extracts Irom a.u account, publishes In the Chicago Tribune, of the Bth, of a bold attempt to swindle In that olty: "About ten o’clook on Friday sight, a stout, port ly man, with gray whiskers, of a rather dignified aspeot, and wearing the nnltorm of a major general in theUnlted States Army, dr ore to the private residence of Dir. Henry Greenebaum, banker, at tbe comer of’ Wood and Lincoln streets: He was on .very pressing business, and sent la a eard on which was the name "Major General' Hancock, United States Army,” Mr. Greenebaum was at the opera, but his brother, Mr David Greenebaum, received the General'with due oonrtesy, and' escort ■ ed him tothe open house, where he introduced him to bis brother. Mr. Greenebhum asked his visitor what he could do for him, when the General presented the follow -log letter of Introduction, purporting to be from Hon, Wm. B. Ogden, of Chicago: Fbiday JEvkHiMO, Hay 5,180 b, Heavy Greenebaum, Etq. ; MyDbabSib: itake.pleasure in maklngyou ac quainted with my friend, Major General w. s, Hancock, of tbe United States army. The General is on his way to St. Louis, in oonneotton with basl nesB of his hew oorps. Ho wishes to aomplete some banking business before he leaves In the morning, and 1 have reoommendedyour house to him. I pre sume you are acquainted with his lather-la law, Jay Hooke, £sq., of Philadelphia. Any favor you may see fit to do for him will be oonsldered as a personal favor to me. Your obedient servant, Wm. B. Oodbk. Mr. Greenebaum, after having read 'the note, again asked tbe supposed General what he wished. The General replied that he wanted a loan of ten thousand dollars, for immediate use, and offered to give a draft, payable at sight, on Jay Cooke, of Phi ladelphia. Mr. Greenebaum, thinking It was curl* ous that Mr. Ogden, with whom he was'not in the habit of doing business, shonWhave written suoh a note instead of personally introducing the General to him, beoame suspicious that the'let ter was a forgery, and told the General that until he waß sure that all was right he could not cash his draft. The General acquiesced, and pro posed to telegraph Immediately to Jay Oooke, after appointing to meet Mr. Greenebaum In the morning. He went te the office, and sent the fol lowing despatch’: To Jay Cooks, Banker: Ho. 1200 Chestnut street, Philadelphia: Will ycru cash my sight draft, order of Henry Greenbaum & Co, for ten thousand dol lars, and answer Immediately to their earn 1 W. S. Hakoook. Yesterday morning the following telegram, pur porting to be from Jay Cooke, was received by Mr. Greenbanm at his residence: Hekby GbbskE4.uk & Co., Bankers : Yes, for any amount he may require. This was of course a bogus oonoootlon by the General. He had succeeded Is obtaining one of tne regular envelopes of too omce, ana tile transaction appeared plausible enough. Meanwhile Mr. Greenebanm had become satisfied that the whole thing wasl a swindle. He had dis covered, that Mr. Ogden was not la the city, and that the supposed Major General Hanoook was cot his gnest. After leaving the opera, Friday night, he went to the polioe station, forthe purpose of no tifying the superintendent, but found that Captain Turtle and ali the detectives had left. He deter mined however to sift the mystery to the bottom, and to remain In the afty all night for that pnrpose. Had he carried out his Intention there Is little doubt bat he would'have Bnooeeded In oapiurlng the swindler) but Mrs. Greenebaum, fearing that he might get Into trouble, .dissuaded him. fits purpose waB to draw therasoal Into the snare by meeting him as appointed in the morning and handing him over the money, having one of our ‘■Hawkehaws” seoreted In the bank ready to pounce upon him; bat the scheme failed. Mr. Greenebaum did not come Into the .xlty as early as he Intended, and the General, who by that, time probably began to scent danger in the wind, de camped, nor has he been seen or heard of since. In order to facilitate his swindling operations he managed to Impose on one of the morning papers, which, on Saturday morning, published In the local column an announcement that Major Gen. W. S. Hancock, his wife, and two memoers of his staff had passed through the olty on their way to St. Louis. The Late Assassination. Extract from a letter of Scretary Stanton to Mr. Adams: The murderer of the President has been disco vered, and evidence obtained that these horrible orlmeß were committed in execution of a conspira cy deliberately planned and set on foot by rebels, under pretence of avenging the South and aiding the rebel cause; but it Is expected that the imme diate perpetrators will be caught. The feeling oc casioned by these atrocious crimes is so great, sud den, and overwhelming, that I oannot at pre sent do more than oommuhlOate them to you. At the earliest moment yesterday the Pro sident called a Cabinet meeting, at which General Grant was present. He was more cheerful and happy than I had ever seen him. He rejoiced at the near prospect of firm and durable peace at heme and abroad, whioh manifested In a marked degree the soundness'and honesty of his disposition, ana the tender and forgiving spirit that so eminent ly distinguished him. Public advice had been given that he and General Grant would be present at the theatre, and the opportunity of adding the Lieute nant General to the number of victims to .be mur dered was no doubt seized for the fitting occasion of executing the plans which appear to have been In preparation for some weeks; but General Grant was compelled to be absent, and thus escaped the design upon him. it is needless for me to say anything In regard to the Influences which this atroolona murder of the President may exercise upon the affairs of the aonn try. But Iwill only add that, though horrible and atrocious as are the plans that have been resolved on byThe enemies or the country, they are not likely, in any degree, to impair the public spirit, or postpono the oomplete and final overthrow of the rebellion. In profound grief for the events which It has be come my duty to communicate to you, I have the honor to ue, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Edwin M. Stanton. Letter from John M. Mason. HE DENIES THAT THE ASSASSINATION WAS PLANNED BY THE REBELS, To the Editor of the London Index: Sm: Time will develop the mystery as yet attend ing the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, late Pre sident of the United States, and the attempted as sassination of Mr. Seward, his Secretary or State. I desire only to repel at onoe the oalumnlous asser tion Ol Edmln M. Stanton, the Secretary of - War, In his letter to Mr. Adams, printed In the London journals of this morning, that these acts were “planned and set on foot by rebels, under pretence of avenging the Sonth ana aiding the rebel, cause,” and of which he says there Is “ evidence obtained.” Mr. Stanton’s letter Is dated on the 16th April, and states that Mr: Ltn ooln was assassinated In the theatre at half past ton the previous night, and died at twenty minutes past seven on the morning of the day that he wrote. I adduce this to show how unlikely it Is, In the hurried excitement,and the necessary occupations attending such events, that any but the wildest theories would prevail In regard to the oanse of the event, or the objects of the pepetrators. Mr. Stanton adopts that whioh he deemed would be the most useful before the public of bis country. Should the “evidence,” to which he refers to support his calumny, ever see the light. It will'be scanned with the experience derived in regard to other evidence unscrupulously fabri cated In the same quarter, during the present war, for bBBe political effect. It Is the orndest concep tion, too, that the mnrder of Abraham Llnaoln was planned and executed for the purpose of “aiding the rebel causebut I can well understand that it ' m ay have material Influence In aiding the cause of that overpowering party in the United States, of whioh Mr. Stanton Is the type, and Andrew John son, who sueceeds as President, with Butler of the notorious prefix, are the exponents and leaders—a party In whose path the late President and his Sec retary were acknowledged obstacles In their projeot ed schemes of .plunder and rapine to follow their do minion over the Sonthern States. For the rest, I learn rrom a well-informed source in London, that “ 'Wilkes Booth,” who Is acoused of the deed, is a son of the celebrated English aotor of that name, was of tlßfather’s profession, which he pursued principally In the Northern States, and was generally understood inheriting those traits significant Of his father's name, Juntas Brutus Booth, by whom he was named John Wilkes, alter the great English radical—an origin and mental training little likely to engender the slightest sympathy with the great cause of the conservative South. As to tho crime whtoh has been committed, none will view it with tbore abhor rence than the people ,01 the South, but they will know, as will equally all well-balanced minds, that it is the necessary offspring of those scenes of blood jbedtand mnrder in every form of unbridled lloense, which have signalized the invasion of the South by Northern armies, unrebuked oertalnly, and there fore Instigated, by their leaders, and those over the length of tbls note. I desired only In stantly to repel the atrocious calumnies in the letter of Mr. Stanton. Very respeotfully, yours, J. M. Mason, 21 Upper Seymour street, Portman square. London, April 27,1865.

There was no Improvement at the Stock Board yesterday, and for some descriptions of securities, hitherto In urgent request, there Is positively no sale. Government loans were weak, closing at a decline. The 18818 sold at 110#, the 6-aos at lot#, and the 10-40 S at 98. State and city loans were very dull, and new olty fls declined #, selling at 93. There was rather more Inquiry for oompany bonds, bnt at no Improvement in prices. Oamden and Amboy 6s of ! 83 sold at 90, and do. of ’7B at 89#; the mortgage 6s sold at 100. There were sales reported of Susque hanna Canal es at 60, and Lehigh Valley 61 at 97. a lot of Allegheny oonnty eoupon 6s brought 73 The railway share list was drooping.

A sale of Morris Canal preferred was made at 140. The oil stocks are exceedingly dull, and the whole list shows a tail In prices. The condition of the oil stook market Is that of extrome weakness, rather than partaking of the character of a panic. The market is at present an anomaly—sdfierlng from severe depression at a time when, or all others, the general aspect of the trade, and the successful efiorts In progress In oil production, are calculated to give It nnnenal life and buoyancy. It oanngt be averred that the bnslnesß of oil produc tion has been overdone, or that It Is Ukoly to prove unprofitable. Nor yet Is there any failure in the supply. On the other hand, although the produc tion is Increasing and the exportß thns far are a half less than last year, and bnt a fourth of those of 1B«3 to the same period, the markets of the country were never so bare, while the consumption is destined, at a very early day, to be lnrtber materially enhanced by the opening of new aad extensive markets at the Sonth.

Owners of real property will feel Interested In the accompanying deolslou under the Internal Revenue aet: Tkbasubt DurAUTMUNT, OBVIOB OV iMTBBNAt, RKVBNUB, Wachinotok, April 28,1865, Sib: Tour Inqurlos of april mi,and2aa in re gard to deduotlou for taxes are received. I reply, that all Income taxes paid In 1861 are pro* per deductions from lnoome of that year. Assessments made by munloipal corporations for the laying out or grading of streets, the construc tion ol walks, sewers, &0., maybe deducted from Income where they are laid upou all taxpayers within the corporation; but II they are laid only upon the owners of property supposed to be in creased In value by the improvement, no deduction can be allowed. All town and county taxes, inolud- Ing taxes assessed for raising soldiers, may be de ducted. Very respectfully, E. A. Bollikb, Deputy Commissioner. The extraordinary demand for the seven-thirties strongly ouggests the question whether the Secre tary or the Treasury may not, after the whole or the present Issue la taken, put out so much as may be required of the succeeding Issue at a lower rate of Interest. The decline In gold has materially Im proved the value of the seven-thirty bonds. With gold at 135, the Interest Is worth In specie 5 40-109 per cent. Should the premium decline to 26, the interest would then be worth, In gold, 5 81-100 per cent. So that the seven-thirties are already ap proximating very olosely in interest value to the six per cent, bonds. Two months ago the interest was worth only about 1 per cent. - In gold, and yet they then found ready purchasers. Should gold settle to about 120, and were the next Issue of bonds reduced to six per oent. In eurrenoy, with the same privilege of conversion as attaches to the present issue, the gold value of the Interest would be 162-100 per cent.; a rate at whloh the Treasury would find ready subscribers, considering the dally Improving credit of the Government, and the limited amount that wonld require to be Issued. On the 12th of July a commercial convention Is to assemble In the city of Detroit, Michigan, It is stated that over thirty Influential associations, such as boards of trade and chambers of commerce, have accepted Invitations to take part In discussions relating to the trade and oommeroe of the Northern and western States. The British Frovlnoes will be duly represented, and then eould be no more fit place In which to propose a plan for anew and more perfect treaty for reciprocal trade In place of the pnsent treaty, whloh will terminate In twelve months. Since 1860 Canada has taken from ns $110,709,613 of free prodhoe, and $125,658,431 of du' tlable goods. We have taken from tbenoe $155,. 407,056 of free prodnoe, and $26,012,383 of dutiable goodß. Thus in the time mentioned we have sent $245,358,077 In free and dutiable merchandise to Canada, and taken $182,310,439 In return, the bal ance, $63,088,638, being paid ns In cash, or foreign exchange. It Is to be hoped that before the time ar rives for the abrogation of the treaty a new one will be made on equitable principles for the mutual benefit of the contracting parties. This subject will be a prominent mattor for debate and consideration at the forthcoming convention at Detroit In July.
