At a public meeting of the inhabitants of Darwen, Lancashire, held on Saturday, April 29, 1865, the following resolutions were passed:

1. That this meeting desire to express the feelings which they as Englishmen entertain in regard to the assassination of the late Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America. They profoundly sympathize with the people of those States in the heavy calamity which has befallen them by his sudden and lamented death, while they view with the utmost horror and detestation the atrocious crime which has so cruelly deprived his family, his country, and the world of his valuable life.

2. That copies of the foregoing resolution be sent to the United States minister in London, with a request that he will convey one to his government at Washington, and one to Mrs. Lincoln.
