A crowd immediately gathered around him, and a vice-policeman procured a hack and conveyed him to the Western district police station. He had been there but a few minutes when he expired. Upon an examination of his effects, it was ascertained that his name was Mayrick Beauford Field. He had a letter of introduction from the Duke of Malmesbury to President Lincoln, two medals from Queen Victoria for meritorious service in the Crimean War, a pass from Gen.

"The President's Message is the oddest document which was ever issued by the Government of a great nation. Mr. Lincoln's admirers boast that the Chief Magistrate of the Union once navigated a timber float; and it is satisfactory to observe that an august bargeman from the Mississippi is, in style and rhetoric, precisely on a level with an uncrowned bargeman on the Thames.
