      " K 0 S 5 UTH AND THE TIMES . "Lonaon , Oct , 2 Q , 18 ol . "Sib . —A letter appeared this morning in the ' Times / from Mr . Edward Stokes , a * Working Man . ' I hare taken the trouble to go to his residence , 23 , Pleasant-row , Pentonville , to make the proper inquiries . " ( Loud cheers . ) He ( Mr .

      after him for my rent- ( more laughter ) -and , lastlav , that Mr . Edward Stokes was , by profession " a compositor to the public press . ( Loud cheers and laughter . ) [ Be ( Mr .

Edward Stokes . ( Cheers . ) . I send you my name and address , which you can state to £ bs meeting . " I am , sir , your obedient servant , " Thom & s Andrew Evans . " 9 , Park-street , Camden Town . "

      This letter appeared to create much amusement , and no little sensation . The meeting was then addressed by Mr . Beale , Mr . B / igera , aud Mr . Dunford . In the course of his address , Mr . Dunford peinted out to the meeting Colonel Geerth , a noble Hungarian , who at the head of 15 , 000 men fought six pitched battles with tbe Russians , and defeated them on every occasion , and finally cut his way through the masses by whom he was surrounded , declining all through to lay down his arms . The gallant Hungarian officer , at the request of tbe meeting , came npon the platform , and was vehemently applauded . He made an attempt in imperfect English to thank the people of England for their generous sympathy , and hoped Hungary would yet have another chance for her independence .

      On the motion of Mr . Geesi . v , seconded by Mr . Geokge Wilsos , a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Sublime Porte for its noble conduct in maintaining inviolate the rights of hospitality in tbe case of Louis Kossuth . Toe cordial thanks ofthe meeting were then carried by acclamation to the Chairman , for his conduct in the chair that day , and the meeting , which -was extremely crowded throughout , separated , The Mayor of Southampton has received addresses for presentation to Kossuth , on bis landing in England , from Glasgow , Bradford , and Bath . Newcastle . —As soon as the arrival of tbe illustrious Magyar at Southampton is known , a public meeting is to be held in ^ Newcastle to bid him welcome to England , and to invite him to visit that dhtrict .

      THE BANQUET . Captain Mangles , one of the managing directors of the Royal West India Mail Steam Packet Company , and Mr . Willcox , M . P . for Southampton , and one of the managing directors of tbe Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company , are to attend the banquet . Captain Townsend , M . P . for Tamworth , has signified his intention to be present if his health permits him . The banquet is expected to take place on Tuesday , the 28 th inst . Accommodation will be provided for 100 ladies in the banquetting ball to witness the banquet , and to hear thc addresses of the distinguished persons who will be present . Tbe Mayor , although suffering from ill-health , has resolved to close his honoured career as chief magistrate of Southampton , an office which he will shortly have filled for two consecutive years , with a crowning act of hospitality .

      The American ambassador has expressed his intention to be present at the Kossuth banquet at Southampton . Tbe Turkish Ambassador will not be present . * His Excellency has sent tbe following note to his worship the Mayor : — " 4 , Bryanstone-square , Oct . 17 , 1851 . —Musurus Bay presents his compli rents to the Mayor of Southampton , and begs to be excused from accepting the invitation of the municipal authorities of that town , which reached him tbis morning . " An impression appears to prevail that all the refugees , about sixty in number , on board the Mississippi , will come to Southampton . There is not tbe slightest ground for such a belief . Kossuth , his wife aud children , and one or two personal attendants , will , it is tolerably certain , alone visit Southampton .

      As soon as tbe Madrid is descried at Southampton , tbe Custom House authorities at that port will communicate with the Mayor , who will be conveyed out in the stream in the pratique boat , in order to communicate with the Hungarian chieftain , previous to his approaching the place for disembarkation . MEETiJfG at Leeds . —A public meeting , convened by the mayor , in compliance with a respectable requisition , was held at the Leeds Court-house , on Monday evening , for the purpose of agreeing to an address to M . Louis Kossuth , congratulating him on Lis liberation from captivity , and welcoming him to England . The large Sessions Hall of the court was filled to suffocation in every part , and numbers

      had to go away unable to obtain admission . A more unanimous , enthusiastic , and effective meeting has not been held in Leeds for a very Ion ? time , on any subject whatever . The " Times , " for its recent attacks on Kossuth , was strongly denounced by tbe various speakers ; and this demonstration met with a response of the most unequivocal description . In the unavoidable absence of the Mayor , Sir . Councillor Carter was called to the chair . —The Rev . Wm . Guest ( Independent ) , who was received with loud applause , said be bad very great pleasure in proposing the first resolution : — " That tbis meeting , having watched with deep interest tbe noble struggle which Kossuth and bis co-patriots carried on for the maintenance of liberty in Hungary , aud having mourned the circumstances which led to their defeat , and their subsequent detention by the Sultan of Turkey uuder the influence of the governments of Austria and Russia , rejoices

      that they have now obtained that liberty of which they were so unjustifiably deprived , and especially expresses its gratification that Kossuth has determined to visit this country , and welcomes him neartily , and with all affection to the shelter of its shores . "—The resolution was seconded and supported by Mr . Kershaw and Mr . Councillor Kettle , and carried by acclamation , no ono dissenting . An address was then moved by Mr . William Beaton , seconded by Mr . W . Brook , supported by Mr . Councillor Hobson , and agreed to amidst loud cheers . —Mr . W . Bruce moved the next resolution : — " That the address just adopted be forwarded to Richard Cobden , Esq ., member for the West Riiing , with the respectful request that he will undertake its presentation to Kossuth on behalf of the meeting . "—Mr . T . L . Prentis seconded the resolution , which was agreed to nem . eon . —Mr . Rhodes moved the last resolution : — " That M . Louis

      Kos-BUth be requested to visit Leeds at bis earliest convenience ; and that Mr . Cobden be requested personally to conrey to him this invitation . " The speaker hoped if Kossuth came that there would be a general holiday ; and that they would make the streets echo with the joyful sound of their cheers as they had never done before . ( Much cheering . ) ¦ —The resolution was seconded and carried witb ^ ae Clamation . A vote of thanks was given to jthe chairman , and the meeting separated , Mbetms at Derby . —On Tuesday evening last , in compliance with a numerously and respectably signed requisition to the Mayor , a public meeting was held is the Town Hall , Derby , for the purpose

      of adopting a congratulatory address to Kossuth . Mr . Alderman Moss took the chair . The hall and corridors were densely crowded during the proceedings , many persons going away unable to gain admittance , The address to the illustrious exile , vas unanimously agreed to , and signed by the chairman on behalf the meeting . Mr . Councillor Etches suggested that a subscription should be set on foot for Kossuth . He volunteered £ 5 , anda , friend had authorised him to tender £ 5 also . Mr . Jones said tbe working classes would have a penny subscription . ( Loud cheers . ) It was agreed that committees should be formed , and the meeting separated .

METROPOLITAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE ,

      Tbe Central Committee has held nightly meetings at 10 , Wellington-street , Strand , for the purpose of making arrangements for the Kossuth banquet and Working Men ' s Metropolitan Demonstration . Deputations from the committee have been appointed to wait ufi «* ' * - «» to solicit their co-a * " - " * Ml 0 US uo — . no- ^ ration , and , according to their reports , ... o generally met with an enthusiastic reception . Considerable difficulty , however , has been experienced in procuring a sufficiently spacious building for the banquet . The solicitor of Drury Lane Theatre having declined to let the building for that purpose . It is probable the committee will , ultimately , be obliged to fall back upon Highbury barn Tavern .

      AN INVITATION TO KOSSUTH . At the meeting of the Central Committee , on Friday night , at 10 , Wellington-street , Mr . Thorn , ton Hunt in the chair , tbe Chairman , upon behalf of the deputation , delivered the following report : — " The deputation appointed by the Central Committee for organising the Kossuth demonstration , waited upon Louis Kossuth , at Southampton , on Friday morning , and had an interview with him of some duration . The deputation was introduced by M . Pulszky . The deputation stated to Louis Kossuth that it attended on the part of a committee composed principally of workmen , among whom the movement had originated , and by one of whom

      the address to be presented had been composed . The deputation requested bis permission to present the address at a public reception of himself in London , and to escort him to the place of his abode there . A copy of the address was presented to Louis Kossuth . The deputation further requested bis acceptance of an invitation to a banquet . Louis Kossuth replied by requesting the deputation to convey bis thanks to the working men of London . He stated that he honoured industry ; he himself was a man of the people ; his political career had been devoted to elevating the condition of the people . He should be proud of any attention that the working classes of London might please to show him . He thanked the committee for

      furnishing him with a copy of the address , as his unfanvliarlty with the English language made the opportunity of deliberately reading it very convenient . As to the invitation to the banquet , he felt at once a difficulty and a question of policy . He had but a short time to stay in this country on the present visit , and could not accept all invitations . That was the difficulty . ' Observing the political victories of the English to be obtained by the aid of associations , he desired to suggest the establishment of an association here to enforce upon the government tbe policy of non-intervention in full force—abstinence from meddling in the affairs of a foreign country ; but accompanied by the refusal to permit intermeddling on

      the part of a third country . He helieved that would be sufficient to secure the liberties of the peoples of Europe . He desired to abstain from mixing in the luternal party questions of England . In accordance with these conditions he desired to have an opportunity of stating his views at a meeting not limited to any party orclass , but including men of political importance . Ho left it to the deputation whether their invitation would furnish him an opportunity . The deputation declined the responsibility of advising him on the subject ; but represented to him that owing to long-standing jealousies , it would be impossible to get men of all parties to attend one demonstration , but that at their banquet he would

      have an opportunity of addressing a larger representation of tho staple of the people than he would be likely to obtain at any other gathering . The deputation , left Louis Kossuth to consult with his friends , requesting the favour of an answer as early as possible . Kossuth promised to reply at the earliest opportunity ( understood , this day , Saturday ) , and in taking leave of the deputation , in a manner most cordial , renewed his expressions of gratification at tbe reception which which the deputation desired to welcome him . The deputation then returned to town without delay . — ( Signed—Thornton Husr , Charles F . Nicholl , A . E . Delafohce . "

      The Chairman having read the above report , stated that be did not despair of the acceptance of the invitation of the committee to the banquet , as Kossuth had , at all events , accepted the demonstration on his arrival ; and concurred in a public presentation of the address . Kossuth is expected to arrive on Wednesday , and leave England for America , on Nov . 12 th . The Demonstration Committee have fixed upon Russellsquare as the central place of rendezvous for the procession to meet Kossuth . Further particulars will be announced .

      Arrival Of Kossuth At Southampton. After...

      ARRIVAL OF KOSSUTH AT SOUTHAMPTON . After many anxious hopes and disappointments , the Madrid steam-ship , Captain Weeks , with Kos . suth , his wife , family , and suit on board , made her appearance in the Southampton Waters about halfpast one o'clock on Thursday . The Indus , whicb touched at Gibraltar en route to England from Alexandria , and which vessel arrired early in the morning , brought information that the Madrid would arrire early in the afternoon . Scarcely had the ressel been descried rounding Calshot Castle before the principal approaches to the docks were

      lined by large numbers of people of nearly every class . The mayor waa promptly on the spot , and proceeded in the Customs boat to tbe mouth of the Itehen , where his worship boarded the ship , and was introduced by Captain Weeks to Kossuth . Madame Kossuth was then introduced to the mayor , but sho was unable to speak , being so deeply affected . Kossuth ' s children were then presented to the mayor—three in number , two boys and a girl , -very interesting children . Tho mayor kissed each of them . Kossuth himself was deeply affected during this interview , and scarcely uttered a word .

      The steamer entered the docks about three o'clock , and she bad scarcely reached tbe entrance , when Kossuth , his wife , and children , were discovered standing on the deck , with the Mayor in the midst of them . They were loudly cheered . At the spot barriers were erected to keep tbe people from the ship , but they were broken down , and the masses pressed to the edge of the dock . A large party of Hungarians were present , and greeted Kossuth with maddened enthusiasm . The most en

      dearmg terms apparently that the Hungarian language would admit of were shouted out to him . While in tho docks , a number of persons came on board to greet him , among whom were the Count and Countess Pulski . The interview between the Count and Countess and Kossuth and Madame Kossuth was of the most aftecting kind . They could hot speak for several seconds ; all that surroundedtbem turned aside to shed tears . Kossuth also embraced Mr . Croskey , the American Consul , mostaffectiontely .

      The Mayor had provided a carriage and four greys and a band of music . The confusion in getting Kossuth , hie family and friends into thc carriage was tremendous ; and the most serious accidents were imminent . No pen can describe his reception . 'Thousands of people were pressing round him to embrace him ; hundreds of persons were shedding tears . There never has been seen such a scene in Southampton . At length the procession began to move on , the band of music playing lively airs , preceded by an array of standards and flags , and the equipage , in which was Kossuth , moving slowly behind , on account of the crowd . Kossuth was obliged to stand up to acknowledge tbe cheering and salutations of the crowds of persons that lined

      the windows and every available place where a glimpse of him could be caught . After passing through the town amidst a perfect sea of waving hats and handkerchiefs from every window , balcony , aud housetop , he arrived at the mayor ' s residence . On arriving at the mayor ' s , Kossuth and his family were literally taken out ofthe carriage and carried in doors . Ho received an extraordinary reception'from the mayor ' s workmen as he passed in doors—acores of deep-mouthed labouring men cheered him with thunders of applause . On arriving in the mayor ' s private apartments , all the Hungarian magnates and soldiers crowded round and embraced Turn with the deepest reverence . One sea of heads covered the street before the mayor ' s premises , eagerly expecting Kossuth to-come and address tbem . At length the illustrious Magyar was escorted to the balcony . Shouts rent the air ,

      and the music struck up . When silence was restored , the Magyar commenced addressing the immense and eager crowd before him . In speaking , he hesitates occasionally to commence a sentence , but he rarely halts in one . He may be said to be an effective speaker ; his ideas seemed as if they flowed from an Englishman . After partaking of some refreshment , his worship , with Louis Kossuth aud friends , proceeded to the Guildhall , where aa address from the corporation of Southampton was presented , after an introductory speech from the mayor , to Kossuth . This was the signal for enthusiastic and vociferous applause , which having subsided , His Excellency stood forward and said—Mr . Mayor and Gentlemen , I beg you will excuse me , an unpretending stranger to the town of Southampton in your own language , adequately to express the warm sentiments of respect and gratitude for your generous welcome , I was bound to the

      Arrival Of Kossuth At Southampton. After...

      lown before I arrived byyour zealous feeling ' towards my native land . The few words I have to say are inspired hy : being now in your presence To have the honour of being welcomed hy the people of England in this n *** •• . ; ...- r -. irrAtifi ,....- — i- ¦• - .:.- ; -l -,-- " »« town is an august „ wn to ine . It has always been my study from early youth to Wok . to England as the book of life , by which I was to live . For three centuries Austria has exercised open violence and wholesale threats to destroy the liberties of my countrymen , and" were it not for her municipal institutions would hare succeeded . There' was a time when the principles of liberty we ' re spreading through -Europe , and when I was myself almost

      aione stanaing against the assortments of Russia The municipal institutions of a country are the w protectors of practicalI liberty . There is in the French nation , whic h han . after . three revolutions , glory outside , but freedom within witherin . g by the blasting influence of centralisation . He then proceeded to observe that he foretold tbis would be fatal to him . England would always lie great , glorious , and free by the preservation of her municipal institutions ; and when he saw their race is the onl y one in both hemispheres enjoying perfect freedom , whether in kingly-formed government in one , or republican government in the other , he still saw it was by preserving these institutions intact . As for

      himself he was conscious of his own demerits , and should not have been in that prominent position but for the sake of his country . The principles of f eedom , justice , and popular rights will be always preserved , provided the public spirit of the people will preserve them , and meet the exigencies of the times . He was certain that the freedom and liberties of England are the guarantees for those ofthe whole world ; and , therefore , it was that his beloved country looked to theirs for support . He lamented with strong feelings the sufferings of his dear country , but as they were not wi thout hope , so he trusted they would not be without ultimate success . England must preserve the balance of Europe , or she will not bo long a country in it . England was a

      great example to his own country . By it they were assured that if England would throw , her weight into the balance she could maintain the freedom of Europe , and engage herself for the welfare of humanity . Such were his sentimentsthe sentiments of his heart , and his reception that evening was an anticipation of future successes . Kossuth then expressed his deep gratitude for Engy land ' s reception of his fellow countrymen , the Hungarian exiles , more particularly at the ppry of Southampton . His own life was of no use excepting that he might make it serviceable to his country and to humanity . He hoped , by the blessing of Almighty God , and the encouragement of their sympathies , yet to see the principles of liberty

      established in his native country . The above is a mere outline of the speech . At the conclusion of the address the meeting rose and cheered M . Kossuth repeatedly , and when the noise had subsided a voice exclaimed , " Three groana for the Austrian tyrant , " which was responded to by three loud groans forthwith . After the presentation of the address , the national flag of Hungary , which was worked by some Hungarian ladies in England during the time of his struggle for his country ' s rights , and intended to be forwarded to him , but which afterwards , by some

      mistake , was left at Southampton , was presented . His worship in presenting it , expressed a hope that M . Kossuth might yet live to fight victorious under it in the country of his birth , and gave a slight sketch of its history , M . Kossuth took the flag , pressed it to his bosom , and said , with energy , —I receive , gentlemen , this flag as the most valuable trust intrusted to the people of Hungary , and I swear to you whatever be our fate , cowardice and ambition shall never tarnish this dag . An address from the working men and inhabitants of the town , as distinguished from the corporation , signed by 1 , 100 persons was then read by Mr . Falvey , to which M . Kossuth replied .

      Kossuth , with his family , suite and companions , formed sixteen persons on board the Madrid ; some of bis companions were dressed in the beautiful Magyar military costume , aud were remarkably handsome men . The meeting between some of these and their compatriots who had escaped to England was most affecting .

      RECEPTION IN WINCHESTER . Winchester , Friday . —The ancient city of Winchester was this day tbe scene of unusual excitement , in consequence of the visit paid by the illustrious Kossuth to the country bouse of the Mayor of Southampton , situated on an eminence outside tbe town , and , notwithstanding the opposition of the prebends , the inhabitants of Winchester and the Mayor and the majority of the corporation had determined upon making the entry of Kossuth and his companions into their ancient city a triumph . The party left the town house of the Mayor of Southampton at eleven o'clock , in three carriages and four . An immense crowd cheered their departure from Southampton , and at the several villages on the route the inhabitants mustered in force to give them welcome . At Otter * bourne quite a demonstration took pi ice , and at

      Compton they were met by a cavalcade from Winchester . The cortege entered at King ' s-gate-street , and passing the college and Wolsey ' s Palace , proceeded through Cbecsehill-street , into the Highstreet , where the progress of the procession was much retarded by the dense accumulation of the people . The scene at this moment was most striking , and the more so that nothing like such a demonstration ' had been expected by the visitors . The whole of the long street from end to end was densely filled with people , except the narrow space allotted for tbe passage of tbe cortsge . Every window , every balcony , every house-top , in fact , was studded with welcoming faces , and above tbe crowd the Hungarian tricolour might be seen waving in every direction . The illustrious Magyar looked quite recovered from the fatigues of the voyage , and the traces of his long captivity seemed to hive vanished under the restorative influence of an

      English welcome . On arriving at the mayor of Southampton ' s country house , M . Kossuth immediately entered the balcony , and addressed the thousands who crowded the road , nearly as follows : — " The re « ception 1 have met with in this city has taken me quite by surprise ; I was wholly unprepared for it , but I heartily thank you . Words can only represent ideas , and all ideas in my mind are absorbed by the warm feeling of gratitude with which your gracious reception has inspired me , I feel that 1 stand here on sacred constitutional ground . On

      this spot your forefathers conquered liberty for you , and you show yourselves worthy ofthe liberty so gained , not only by maintaining it for yourselves , but by endeavouring to extend its blessings to all the world . ( Loud cheers . ) I have deep respect for the inhabitants of Winchester , the oldest corporation in England , but with a people as young and fresh in the sentiments of municipal liberty as when those sentiments were first recorded in institutions . Again I heartily thank you . " ( Loud and continued cheering . )

      The Mayor of Southampton next came forward , and expressed the satisfaction he felt in having Louis Kossuth under his roof , a man who with the mind of a giant had the heart of a lion , and who iu the early part of his career had at one blow emancipated four millions of serfs , who never again cjuld be enslaved . ( Cheers . ) But with that he was not satisfied , nor would be ever be , so long as a single fetter remained on any member of the great family of man . ( Loud cheers . ) He ( the mayor ) wished that there were a few men like Kossuth in England . ( Loud cheers . ) Kossuth

      was a man ofthe people , who had raised himself by his talents , and had subsequently devoted those talents to the welfare of his country . He had received threatening letters for his reception of Kossuth , but he disregarded them , and declared that SO long as he bad a home Kossuth should have shelter , as long as he had a sixpence Kossuth should share it . ( Loud cheers . ) Tnree cheers were then given for Kossuth , and three for the Mayor , after which Kossuth and party retired into the house for refreshment . On Sunday Kossuth will attend service at the Cathedral .

      Mr . Cobden arrived at Southampton rather late , and immediately proceeded to Winchester . Every ticket that has been issued for the Southampton banquet to Kossuth has been sold . ¦

      AMERICA . Fund fob Kossuth . —We find , by a correspondence in the American papers between an enterprising citizen and the Mayor of New York , that M . Joha N . Geuiu proposes to be one of a hundred persons to contribute 1 , 000 dollars each towards a gift which will render the great Hungarian independent upon bis arrival on our Shores . The mayor has consented to act as treasurer of this fund .

      The Refugees.—T. Brown Has Received Five...

      The Refugees . —T . Brown has received five shillings from Weymouth , which he has applied to the aid of the Refugees , and will be thankful for further assistance , that he may be enabled to liquidate the debts incurred , and assist , those who still need pecuniary aid . BuRGIiARY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER . —OlDBUBV , Worcestershire . —A daring burglary and attempted murder was perpetrated on Wednesday , at the farm house oi a maiden lady , named Nicklin . About two o ' clock in the morning , Mr . Nicklin , her brother , saw two men with blackened faces standing- at bis bedside , one of whom dealt him a violent blow on the head with a bludgeon , after which two pistols wore fired , wounding him in the cheek and arm . After ransacking tbe house the burglars decamped . Mr , Nicklin remains in a dangerous state , a reward of fifty pounds has already been offered for the discovery of the offenders .

      ' "' The ~ Grelt Exhibition. " Through L...

      ' "' THE ~ GRElT EXHIBITION . " Through Lord Granville , and in consequence oi the warm interest which he takes in the * SuhCC . o C Design , the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been prevailed upon to authorise an expenditure oi £ 5 , 000 in the purchase of objects from the Exhibition which may serve as models for study , and which may thereby exercise a permanently elevating influence upon tho art manufactures of the country . ' . ' ¦ , We understand that a memorial emanating from the leading merchants in England is about to he

      forwarded to the Royal Commission , urging upon that body tbe importance of forming a collection of ohiects l'Ktly , toextend and facilitate trade . The murmurs " against ' the awards of the jurors continue to spread and deepen . Mr . Milner , of Moorgatestreet , complains that his patent safe , with continuous lock , has been overlooked , while another man has got a metal for a Bale , although heactually had not one in the building . Even the ] urors themselves begin to complain of their colleagues , one gentleman from Manchester alleging that . four of the awards in his class were changed after he left

      We hear that on Monday Mr . Dilke had the gratification of receiving from her Majesty a very handsome diamond and ruby bracelet as a present for Mrs . Dilke . The letter which accompanied this record of her Majesty ' s approval stated that it was sent as a mark of her Majesty's sense of the trouble Mr . Dilke had taken in executing her commissions at the Exhibition . Mr . Dilke also had the honour to receive from the Royal children their portraits in remembrance of the attentions shown to them during their visits to the Exhibition . The committee of

      Testimonial to the Police . — watch , clock , and chronometer exhibitors have forwarded to the superintendent of the A division of the metropolitan police an expression of their admiration and satisfaction at the vigilance , courtesy , and attention of the police stationed in the vicinity of their goods in Class 10 , and they accompany it with a silver watch of a superior quality , to be presented to Police-constable Jones , 343 A , who was especially attached to their department . The watch bears the following inscription t— " Presented by tbe committee of watch and clock makers to T . E . Jones , 343 A , as a mark of their satisfaction with Ms conduct in care of their goods during the Great Exhibition , 1851 . " It is worthy of remark that in tbe large and highly valuable collection of goods under the charge of this department not a single loss or accident has occurred since the opening of the building . -

      The Great Exhibition—On Saturday last the Crystal Palace presented a strange contrast to the scene ofthe previous Saturday . The " curious world" had given place to hundreds of porters , artisans , and mechanics , all busily engaged in packing , removing , and carefully pulling down the wonders of art and skill which have been contributed by the whole civilised world . Indeed the road from the Crystal Palace , though bo , longer inconveniently thronged with omnibusses , cabs , carriages , and every sort of two and four-wheeled vehicle under the sun , was still a moving mass of vehicles , owing to tho number required to convey away the costly and bulky productions of the exhitors . Thursday was the first day for removing the

      goods . The East India Company took , the lead , and their department is already pretty well cleared from tho wealth of jewels , gold and silver work , and native productions of skill which attracted so much of the popular gaze . The United States h" » ve commenced packing , but nothing as yet has been cleared away . In the Russian department tbe & ilver articles and precious stones . are removed ; the malachite doors , as well as the large vases , are still in the Exhibition , but packed up ready for extradition . The Koh-i-Noor , tbe misnamed " Mountain of Light , " is reported to be still in its original cage , but guarded carefully as a prize of such fabled value ought to be . The statues remain pretty nearly as they were . The colonial

      department resembles a large wholesale grocer's warehouse , from the number of casks and bales which are strewn about . The Custom-house officers are keeping strict guard over articles liable to duty . The western department has suffered the least ; the large organ remains in solitary and silent grandeur , but the other musical instruments have vanished . In the carriage department , the ni * : ? ecarriage has gone , others are ready to follow . In the machinery department , great progress has been made , but inconsequence ofthe ponderous character of many of the steam and other engines , the entire clearance will be a work , of time . We may say , generally , that nearly all the other departments are in a state of forwardness as far as

      removal is concerned , but two days of heavy labour have hardly made any sensible impression on the vast accumulations of productions . It is calculated that some weeks of continued labour must elapse before tbe Crystal Palace will have nothing to boast of hut its own transparent walls . The fl igs which decorated the exterior and interior of the building have been removed , as well as the coats of arms of tho various boroughs and towns . The provincial departments certainly exhibit the greatest appearance activity , and appear to have made thegreatest gaps in the building . The agricultural department , considering the great hulk of many of the articles and the great labour required

      to remove them , has a very empty appearance . Nothing is yet known about the ultimate fate Of tbe building itself ; this , however , may be stated oa tolerably good authority , that it will not be allowed to retain its present site . With respect to the extra police employed during the Exhibition it is understood that those constables who have behave themselves best will be retained , and will be absorbed into the regular police force as vacancies occur . At the station may be seen a basket of trinkets , some of them of some value , which have been picked up at the Great Exhibition by tbe police , and for which no owners can be found . — Sunday Paper .

      The American Great Exhibition.—The Proje...

      The American Great Exhibition . —The project of tho Exhibition at New York is , we understand , gaining ground rapidly . The plan has now received the sanction of the Austrian and several other governments of Europe , and a large proportion of the foreign exhibitors will remove their goods from the building for shipment at once to the United States . Among other articles which we hear are to be sent is the Amazon , by Kiss , with a large collection of works by M : Monti and other Italian sculptors and artists . Upwards of 200 of the British exhibitors have also announced their intention of sending their goods . One distinctive feature of the proposed p lan is , that the articles exhibited in New York will be exclusively foreign

      produce , manufactures , or works of art , no American producer or manufacturer being allowed to take part in it . So far as we can learn at present , no prizes of any kind will be awarded to the exhibitors . The whole affair will be a commercial one , and its benefits will be sought in the amount of public attention which will be directed to the various articles exhibited . Another feature of the New York Exhibition will be that all the goods will be exhibited with the prices attached , and , when sold , the remittances will be promptly forwarded . The goods will be conveyed from London in first class vessels , provided by the parties engaged In carrying out the undertaking ; and all charges of freight , insurance & c , will be advanced ,

      so that no outlay of money on the part of the exhibitors will bo required . The goods which may remain unsold at the close of the proposed Exhibition will be returned to the exhibitors free of all charge . The Exhibition is to open at New York on the 15 th of April next , and tho last day fixed for the reception of the goods is the 1 st of March ; and we understand that , for the convenience of exhibitors who may desire to send tho articles shown by them in the Great Exhibition , vessels are ready to convey them forthwith from London to New York . The building will be in a central part of New York , near to the various railway termini , and will be made a bonded warehouse during the

      exhibition . The guarantees afforded for tho due and proper carrying out of the affair are , we believe , unexceptionable . Professor Gobini . —This gentleman , who is professor of natural history at the university of Lodi made , before a circle of private friends a few nights ' ago , a very remarkable experiment illustrative of his theory as to the formation of mountains . He melts some substances , known only to himself , in a vessel , and allows the liquid to cool . At first it presents an even surface , but a portion continues to ooze up from beneath , and gradually elevations are formed , until at length ranges and chains of hills are formed , exactly corresponding in sbane with thnse

      which are found on the earth . Even to the strata fication the resemblance is complete , and M . Gorini can produce pn a small scale the phenomena of volcanoes and earthquakes . He contends , therefore , that the inequalities on the face of the globe are the result of certain materials , first reduced by the application of heat to a liquid state , and then allowed gradually to consolidate . In another and more practically useful field of research the learned professor has developed some very important facta He has succeeded to a most surprising extent in preserving animal matter from decay without resorting to any known process for that nurno SP

      specimens are snown by him of portions of tbe human body which , without any alteration in their natural appearance haye been exposed to the action of the atmosphere for six or seven years ; and he states that at a trifling cost he can keep meat fw any length of time in such a way that Scan be TJZ 2 T ' The im P «> rtaiioe of such Td £ aS wn ?

      : ; V : Stoey T^Atre. : A Drama Entitled...

      ; V : sTOEY T ^ ATre . A drama entitled Dreaming and Waking , was produced at this theatre on Monday night . An officer Of dragoons has seduced a village girl and deserted her . A few years after an accident , by which he nearly loses his life , brings him again under the roof of his victim , when she , stillinfluencedby love , places about the apartment the objects that were once familiar to him . He awakens from his insensibility to feelings of astonishment and perplexity , which are further increased by the advent of the heroine in the

      garb that she formerly wore ( and the renewal of the rustic blandishments which were at that period so acceptable . The . officer"is sorely "bothered" by appearances which " lie like truth , " but explanations are by and bye made , and the persistent affection of the girl , enforced by the pugnacious attitude of a big brother , have their due weight , and he consents to matrimony . The piece , which was well received , is the joint offspring of Messrs . Morris Bamett and Angus Reach . Calls were made for these gentlemen when t he curtain fell , but they did not respond to the invitation ,

      NEW STRAND THEATRE . Mr . A'Beckett's little interesting drama of the Artist ' s Wife , originally sustained by Mr . Ranger , with good effect , at the Ilayraarket , was revived on Monday night for tbe sake of introducing Mr . Helton to a new audience . Mr . Helton has creditably distinguished himself at the Princess ' s as an actor of juvenile tragedy , and his performance ofthe blind painter , ever suspicious of bis wife , yet ever fancying that he rises above his suspicions , was marked with considerable pathos ; though not altogether free from mannerism . He was called at the end with loud applause .

      Assassination In Kilkennt.—Intelligencoh...

      Assassination in Kilkennt . —Intelligencohas been received of the murder of a man named John Donnelly , bailiff and driver of the Reverend Vernon Russell Drapes , a Pr testant clergyman resident in the county of Kilkenny . The unfortunate man and his master had been attending on Monday last at the quarter sessions of Castiel , for the purpose of prosecuting parties who bad taken forcible possession of a farm on Mr . Draper ' s property . On returning in the evening they had reached the gate of Mr . Max , of Ballytarsna , when two shots were fired—one from each side of the road . Mr . Drapes fortunately escaped , but Donnelly was killed on the spot . The ill-fated man was to have given evidence against the accused on Tuesday . Sergeant Howley was at the time holding the quarter sessions at Cashel , within a few miles of the melancholy occurrence .

      Guildhall.—Violent Assault.—Two Bricklay...

      GUILDHALL . —Violent Assault . —Two bricklayers , Benjamin Moreley and John Conden , were charged with violently assaulting Lawrence M'Cawley , in Plumtree-court , Holborn . —Prosecutor said i On ( Saturday night , afc nine o ' clock , Conden , who formerly lodged with me , and was married from my house , came to my door , and on my opening it he drew a hammer from his pocket and struck me on the head , and then kicked me in the belly and knocked me down . My wife pulled him off me , and Moreley then came in with a short stick , loaded at the end with lead , in his hand , and aimed a blow at my head with it . I endeavoured to ward it off with my hand , and received the blow on my arm . I called for the police , and cried " murder "

      several times ; for I firmly believe they intended to kill me . When they heard the police approaching they ran away . This hammer was picked up outside my door , and this stick was found in Shoelane . ( The stick was here produced , and certainly appeared a most murderous weapon . ) The wife and daughter of the prosecutor corroborated this statement , and the officers gave further evidence relative to the apprehension of the prisoners . —Alderman Salomons said ; This is one of those cases in which I should not feel justified in taking the responsibility upon myself of disposing of it summarily . I therefore intend to send it to the sessions , but will accept bail in two sureties of 425 each , for each of the prisoners to appear and answer tho charge . They were then committed to take their trial at the

      ensuing sessions , MARLBOROUGH-STREET . —Bobbery at a Club House . —George Morris , a discharged waiter from tbe Army and Savy Club-house , was charged with having stolen a quantity of wearing apparel , value £ . 5 , from the club-house . —William Cleaver , a waiter at the club-house , said , on Saturday morning his clothes were all safe in the drawers in his dressing-room . On the same morning witness discovered lhat the woodwork of the drawer before the lock had been out away , and the drawers forced

      open . A quantity of wearing apparel had been taken from the drawers , and prosecutor immediately suspected tho prisoner , who had been discharged the previous day , and who had been seen that morning in the area of the club-house . The clothes produced were tiie clothes taken from the drawers . —Police constable Jobncock apprehended the prisoner at Richmond . The prisoner was wearing the clothes at tho time . The prisoner denied living at the Army and Navy Club-house when witness first accosted him . —The prisoner was fully committed .

      WESTMINSTER . —Destitution . —A miserablelooking , bare-footed woman was brought before Mr . Arnold under the following circumstances : — A police-constable proved that his attention was called to the defendant by a gentleman who found her sitting on the previous evening on the step of a door in Belgrave-square . Ending upon inquiries that she was in a state of destitution , without ; any place of abode , the constable took her to St . George ' s workhouse , in Mount-street , Grosvenorsquare , when the porter said she had been there before , and he had refused to admit her . Under these circumstances the constable took her to the station for shelter . —Mr . Arnold directed the constable to request tho attendance of one of the

      parish officers of St . George ' s to give some explanation why a woman found in this destitute condition was refused relief . —In the course of the day Lacy , one of the officers , attended , when Mr . Arnold represented to him the circumstances ofthe case . —Lacy said he was not in attendance when she was brought to the workhouse , as stated by the constable ; but begged to put the magistrate in possession of somo circumstances connected with her history . She was a short time ago charged at the Marlborough-street Police-court with attempting to commit suicide by drowning herself in the Serpentine , but she had merely walked up to her middle in water , and then screamed to attract attention until she was got out . As she was then in

      a state of destitution she was taken to the workhouse and clothed , but subsequently demanded her discharge and left the place . In about a fortnight afterwards she was again taken before Mr . Hardwick , for an act of mendicancy , and committed for seven days . She had , on the occasion on which she had discharged herself from the workhouse , been clothed from head to foot by the authorities . Something , he thought , ought to be done with her , as she was addicted to very indecent and filthy practices . —Mr . Arnold observed that the point was , the woman was found on the present occasion really in a state of destitution , and taken by a constable to the workhouse , where nothing waa dona for her . — Lacy said that as he had before stated , when she had tbe opportunity of her being maintained in the workhouse , she insisted upon being discharged .

      - —Mr . Arnold thought that being evidently in a state of utter destitution , it was the duty of the porter at the workhouse to have relieved her , irrespective of character , and his refusal had compelled the police to lock her up , because they did not know what else to do with her . It was the porter ' s business to have taken her in , to be dealt with as the board of guardians might think fit . The circumstance was one bringing great odium upon the administration of the poor laws . He thought it was harsh treatment to have refused her relief . —Lacy said he would take the woman to the workhouse , and see that she was properlj attended to . —Mr . Arnold observed it would be as well in so obvious a case of destitution as the present , that the porter did not act so authoritatively , aud refuse admission . MARYLEBONE . —Assaultino the Police . —

      Three labourers , named John Hickey , Thomas Mallett , and Peter Welch , were brought before the I Bitting magistrate , Mr . Long , charged with having been concerned in an outrage of a most violent description upon police constables , two of whom were very seriously injured . —Edmunds , a poli . eman , deposed that on Monday night at ten o ' clock , as he was on duty in Salisbury-street , Portmanmarket , he heard a great disturbance in the Champion public-house , and on getting therein he saw Welch and Hickey fighting . He got them out , and had no sooner done so , than they began fighting again . He ( witness ) laid hold of Welch , and told him that he should be obliged to lock him up , upon which Mallett rushed forward and endeavoured to rescue him from custody . Witness added that he stui kept hold of the prisoner , but was trinned un

      oy some one ; and while he was lying upon the ground with Welch he was kicked upon various parts of his person by some other labouiers forming part of a large mob which had congregated at the spot . Other officers very fortunately soon arrived , and the whole of the prisoners were ultimately captured and locked up .-Eatwell , a policeman , said Hickey caught hold of him by the throat in a savage manner and tried to strangle him ; he was also thrown dow n by tho mob , and was seriously kicked upon the body . Mallet did everything 10 n i 8 po , wer t 0 release witness , whose hair was pulled violently . —Lack , a policeman , deposed to his navmg been kicked and struck by Mallet , whom he wa compelled , in order to release himself , to strike with his staff . —Other evidence of a character conamatory of the preceding was gone into . —Welch
