      The Queen left Worsley about ten o ' clock yesterday , to make her progress through Salford and Manchester . It has really been a striking and magnificent affair , this visit to Manchester . The Queen entered Salford through an hntnense arch , of a very elegant design . The streets were almost covered with flags and flowers . At the end of Cross-lane , the Mayor of Salford met her Majesty , and conducted h * er to the Peel-park , where the address was to be presented , and the chief scene in the play performed .

      In the park a vast pavillion had been erected for the reception of the Queen ; and facing it two immense galleries destined for the Sunday-school children of Manchester and Salford . Eighty thousand children assembled and formed a novel and interesting spectacle . They were brought on to the ground by their ministers and their teachers ; and when the Queen drove up the avenue between the pavillion and the galleries all these thousands of children sent up shrill and successive cheers . The scholars of the Cheetham College were drawn up at the entrance of the park , and their brass band welcomed the Queen with ihe national anthem .

      The Queen was received by the company in the pavillion with a simple bow ; the address to her Majesty was read by the Town Clerk ; and an address was presented to Prince Albert . When this business was over the Queen , departed , and the company were permitted to cheer themselves hoarse . The royal party drove slowly down the avenue in " front of the children , and during the passage of the Court the tiny voice of the eighty thousand sang " God save the Queen . " Mr . Charles Swain had written a new verse , which was sung in place of that containing the" Confound their politics , Frustrate their knavish tricks . " It is as follows : — " Crowu'd by a nation ' s love , Guarded by heaven above , Long live the Queen . Long may each voice exclaim , Wide as Britannia ' s fame , ' . Long live Victoria ' s name , God bless the Queen . ' " The Duke , who accompanied the suite of the Queen , was heartily cheered ; but he did not take the least notice of the cheerers . The Queen entered Manchester through another grand triumphal arch , and proceeded through streets crowded with people , and covered with banners and decorations , to the Exchange . Here a select company were waiting to receive her Majesty , and when nhe entered , as before , there : was no cheering . The addresses were presented , the gracious reply vouchsafed , the Mayor , Mr . John Potter , was knighted , and th « royal party left amid a torrent of cheers . " The Duke ! " cried some one , and the cry was followed by a hurst of enthusiasm . Her Majesty again passed through the town , and returned to Worhley-hall . Among the decided successes of 1 H /> 1 we must ; place the Queen ' s vinit to Manchester . The Central (' oinmittce , appointed to make ; arrangements for testifying to Kossuth those" sympathies with Hungary and freedom which all Englishmen feel , continue to sit and to receive adhesions from the working classes and trades' societies , who have very sp iritedly come forwaul ; and advances have been made , but not very generally , by other sections of reformers . Upon tin ; whole , affairs seem decidedly to be ; taking a turn , which will make this demonstration democratic , and almost , wholly an expression of the feeling of the working clauses . KoHSUth is now hourly « 'xyc » : tod , and the feeling manifested on his behalf by " all siiiIh ol people " grown daily more intense . The Leicester corporation , at . a Hpcciul meeting jeat . enlay , a « n : ed loan address , moved by Mr . Alderman Ui KK " .

      Mississippi will probably arrive there before they leave . The Jupiter will come direct from Gibraltar to England . The Iberia will call at several ports on her way .

      The Great Exposition , the glory of 1851 , closes to-day . We chronicle the fact with a feeling of regret ; and yesterday , as we gazed for the last time upon the great though faded glories ok the Crystal Palace , it was impossible not to see that the crowd , who so slowly departed , who lingered in silent groups , and who were at length gently expelled by the inexorable police , experienced the same sensation—the parting with an old friend . We walked from end to end . Passing the transept we saw the fountain had ceased playing , and looked lifeless enough . On going out at the western nave the statue of Coeur de Lion , with his uplifted sword , stood out dnrkly against a sunset sky , like a mighty index pointing hopefully to an unknown future . The throng were passing away , the day was dying in rich rosy hues ; in twenty-four hours , we said , the Exposition of 1851 will be a thing of history . So be it . " To-morrow to fresh fields and pastures new . '

      THE QUARTER'S REVENUE . AN . ABSTRACT OF THE NET PRODUCE OP THE REVENUE OF GREAT BRITAIN IN THE YEARS AND QUARTERS ENDED OCT . 10 , 1850 , AND OCT . 10 , 1851 , SHOWING THE INCREASE OR DECREASE THEREOF . The quarterly revenue tables which were issued yesterday show some remarkable results . In spite of the remission of imposts , there is a total increase in the ordinary revenue of the quarter of £ 124 , 646 more than last year . But as there is a large decrease in the repayment of advances , there is a nominal decrease of £ 1197 on the whole revenue of the quarter . The increase is in Customs , Excise , Post Office , and Crown Lands ; the decrease in Assessed Taxes and Property Tax . The ordinary revenue is , therefore , very buoyant , and the prospect encouraging . YEARS ENDED OCT . 10 . '

      London City waits to do him honour ; political parties compete to hail his arrival ; the working men of London are preparing to evince their heartfelt sympathy with his exertion and his victories ; imperishable victories which treachery cannot efface , —nor arrest in the future . And what have his enemies done for him ? They

      KOSSUTH—HIS FRIENDS AND FOES . The Leader of Hungary , emerging from captivity to the world of freedom and of action , is welcomed by his friends . He receives benefits even from foes ; for no service from a foe can be so great as that of disclosing his hostility and his plans . That disclosure the enemies of Kossuth have made . He is cordially welcomed by the Italians , not less eagerly by the French people ;—he saw them face to face . The welcome of Southampton advances to meet him on the French coast .

      have shown themselves . More , they have shown their councils . Our readers know that Despotism has a viceroy over it—that same Diplomacy , which governs all Europe , England included , through a system combining solidarity of diplomacy , government by bureaux , standing armies , and national debt . We have more than suspected that the Government of France was the servant of that master .

      and now the fact is evident : while Kossuth is welcomed by the French People , the French Government refuses him a passage across the country . He has enemies even in England . They would have been insidious if they could : they have not the patience , the self-possession , nor the art , to be insidious . Let us trace them . The Globe is the only Whig journal in the

      press . Its workings on the JSew Reform Bill have proved at once two facts—that the Globe desires , most earnestly desires , a handsome courage in the conduct of public affairs ; also , that the Globe does know nothing of what Ministers are doing . Ministers seem to have other confidants . The Globe of Tuesday had an excellent spirited paper , dashing aside , with easy vigour , the silly tales of Kossiuh ' s having secret agents m London , brewers

      working among the anti-Haynau ; emuparing him to Abcl-el-Kader , victim of official bad faith ; and glorying in the exchanges of sympatny between Kossuth and the French People at Marseilles . The writer of the Globe evidently wishes that his Whig friends were capable of noble and patriotic sentiments . In the same paper is a paragraph , conspicuously placed , " from a correspondent , " trying to explain away that very sympathy which the editor applauds with such English heartiness . Kossuth s

      response to Marseilles , says thin conspicuous ^ correspondent , " does in no way represent his sentiments , but is contrary to the uniform current ol his principle *! . " " Kossuth in very » nP crfe 4 ? , , acquainted with the French language' | lie could not have written the manifesto "— " ° " £ will be more surprised or mortified than himKCi when he learns the . sen . se " of" the language t » which his signature has been obtained "— " Ins nibi words will , we are assured , dispel the a ppreliensions of his friends .

      TO HEADERS AND CORRESPONDENTS . Ekkata . —We regret that , owing to the corrected proof having been mislaid , many serious typographical errors were allowed to disfigure the third paper of the series of " Notes of a Social Economist , " "which appeared in our last impression . Amongst many of less importance , the following errata are so detrimental to the general sense of the passages in which they occur , th- \ t we hasten to call the notice of our readers to their correction . For " as robbers prove sometimes gallant soldiers , soldiers prove often brave soldiers , " read , " soldiers prove often brave robbers . " For " the increase of fortune by which the sheep may be said to devour men , " read , the increase of pasture , " &c . In a previous letter the printer also deviated from the MS . in printing " plebs" for " plebes , " and "homine" for " homini . "
