ALARMING EXTENT OF EMIGRATION . ( From the Times of Tuesday . ) There is a branch of statistics which hag beeil lately forced into notice by actual events of a new and extraordinary character . " The statist" no longer confines himself to population ? , that is to thVnumbei ; of persons dwelling quietly in certain countries and cit ! e 3 , and such sober facts , for society itself is undergoing a change , and is no longer content to dwell quietly . Strange to say , our railways , our steamere , and our mastery of the ocean have brought us back , in soma respects , to the habita of the Nomads and Massageta > , or the Crusaders -and pilgrims of a later age . Within six million
half a year visits have been paid to the great shrine of art by persons who huve travelled scores , and hundreds , and thousands of miles for the purpose . Excursion trains bring up four or five thousand a day by one line of railway . Eightfipe thousand children dung «« God save the Queen " at Manchester on Friday , and fifty thousand adults repeated the hymn the next day in Hyde Park . We forgot how many millions are returned as having travelled by railway last year . The visits to the British Museum and the Thames Tunnel are now of the millionaire class . Twenty years ago the figure of the national debt stood alone in its glory , as the only work of man that approached to the infinite , and was really stupendous . "We are now 60 familiar with great figures , that the national
debt is descending , by comparison , to the level of onr ordinary conceptions . But , among all these vast fignres that are becoming- domesticated and vulgar , there is none so important , though so familiar , as the figures of the emigration which is actually draining these isles . "We have repeated almost ad nauseam that the people are leaving us at the rate of near a thousand a day . " Very well ; "What of that ? They are only Irishmen , with a sprinkling of the ever-wandering Scotch , and some cf the Jess fortunate or respectable of our own countrymen . " Be they what they may , the fact remains that we are witnessing a phenomenon of the same class with the migrations of the Gaols , the Goths , the Huns , the Turks , the Magyars , and other tribes , that before the settlement of Europe
roamed about looking for a home . " Familiarity , " it is said , " breeds contempt ; " and certain it is that no sooner is a great fact familiar than men treat it with indifference , and do not even seem to apprehend it correctly , much less follow it up to its Consequences . In Ireland the fact is brought home to the understanding in so forcible a manner by the actual sight of emigrant trains , emigrant ships , depopulated districts , ruined habitations , and labour beginning to rise in the market , that it cannot be disposed of so easily as in this country . The journals there have styled the movement the "Celtic exodus ;" and , considering the actual difference between the condition of an average Irish peasant at home , and that which he easily attains to in the United States , to shall not quarrel with the reflection which the name seems to cast on the rulers left behind . The
writers who treat of this exodus tell us that it will go on till the whole race is departed , and their place left nntenanted . Having once begun , the migration will go on ; and the strong social instincts that have hitherto bound the Irishman to the soil of his birth will now operate in drawing him into the S ?* "westward stream . In England it has been anticipated by some writers , that when the Irish population should be reduced to a certain low level , the inducements to remain would rise so high that the migration would stop , and the remnant left behind would , be contentedly and permanently attached to the-soil . The Irish authorities , a 3 we are disposed to think very correctly , do not expect the migration to stop as soon as the population has assumed its proper proportion to the work to be
done . The people who have been in the habit of paying 30 s . an acre would not now remain on the land if it were reduced to 20 a . or 10 s . —they will have it at no price . Their minds are completely m&de Up to go after their friends—to gd home , that home not being " Ould Ireland , " but the " Far West ! " The stream once set that way , it will not stop till Ireland is absolutely depopulated , and the only question is , when will that be ? Twenty years at the present rate would take away the wholeof the industrious classes , leaving only fae proprietors and their families , members of the learned professions , and those whose age or infirmities keep them at home . Twenty years are but a short time in treating great social or-political questions : It is more than twenty years since the passing of the Emancipation Act and the introduction of the Eeform Bill . What if it should really
come to pass that , before another twenty years , the whole Celtic race shall have disappeared from these isles , and tho problem of seven centuries received its solution ? We dwell in wonderful times , in an age of great discoveries , splendid improvements , and grand consummations . Art iias always J > een found the handmaid of human developments . Tee discovery of gunpowder put an end to the little wars and little states of the middle ages , and introduced larger political manipulations . The discovery of printing prepared for the revival of learning and arts , and paved the way to the Reformation . The discovery of the mariner ' s compass showed our navigators a path to the East Indies and the Sew World . It may be the first mbsion of railways to set all the populations oi the Old World on the move , and send them in quest of independent and comfortable homes .
And when will this movement stop ? Incurious * cess and prejudice are ready with the reply , that it "will stop , at all events , when the Celtic race is exhausted . The Englishman , we are assured is too attached to * his country , and too comfortable at home , to cross the Atlantic . But surely it is very premature to name any such period for this movement , or to say beforehand what English labourers will do , when seven or eight millions of Irish have led the way to comfort and independence . The Englishman is now . attached to his ovn home , because he knows of no other . His ideas of other
regions are dark and dismal . lie trembles at the thought of having to gape his way through the Cimmerian obscurity of another hemisphere . The single fact that he will have no' * . ' parish " in America , is , in his mind , a fatal bar to locomotion . But all this is quick passing away . Geography , union workhouses , ocean mails , and the daily sight of letters arriving injten daysfrom rosperous emigrants , are fast unrooting the British rustic from the soil , and giving him cosmopolitan ideas . In a few years , the question uppermost in his mind will be whether lie will be better off here or there ? "Whether he should
go with the young and enterprising , or stay at home with the old and stupid I If a quarter of a million British subjects have left this country for the Australian colonies in the present generation , there may easily be a much larger movement to a nearer and more wealthy region . It has been imagined , indeed , that such a migration will have a natural tendency to stop itself at a certain stage . We are toU that the Ensrlish labourer will find a new field in . Ireland , deserted by the Celt . It will , however , cost no more eifort of mind to cross the Irish ocean at once , than to erosa the Channel for a land whicb , ia the English mind , must ever be associated ¦ with -violence and ^ blood . High wages , again , we are told , the enjoyment of a liberal government , and an improved condition ;
will bind the Englishman afresh to the soil of hia ancestors . But when you make the English labourer richer , more independent , more intelligent ! and more of a citizen , you have put him more in a condition and temper to seek Ms fortune , wherever it may be found . The men who in the United States leave their homes for the Far West , are generally they who have prospered where they are , and who want the excitement of another start in life . On the whole , we are disposed to think that the prospeci is far too serious to be neglected , or treated as a merely speculative question . The depopulation of these isles , supposing tho Celtic exodus to run
outits course , and a British exodus to follow , constitutes about as seriou 3 a political event as can be conceived ; for a change of dynasty or any other political revolution is nothing compared with a change in the people themselves . All the departments of industry—the army , the navy , the cultivation of the fields , the rent of landed property , the profit of trades , the payment of rates and taxes , depend on the people , and without the people there must ensue a general collapse of all our institutions . We are , however , rather desirous to recommend the question to the consideration of others , and especially of our statesmen , t han to answer it ourselves .

After receiving the usual instructions as to the discharge of their duty , the grand jury retilted to their room . Attempted Suicide , —Robert Farley , who was convicted at the last session of having unlawfully attempted to destroy himself by cutting his throat
with a razar in the Regent's-park , was brought up for judgment . —Mr . Witham , who tried tho case , said he had received a report from the surgeon of the prison , which satisfied him that the defendant would not repeat the attempt upon his life , whi&h attempt was not only a sin against hia Maker , but a serious crime against the laws of his country . He had been some time in prison , he had also been for some time confined in a hospital whilst the wound was under treatment , and believing that the mental and bodily suffering he had undergone had shown him the enormity of his offence , Mid would induce him for the future to hold
up against misfortune , he should sentence him to one hour ' s imprisonment . Housebrkaking . —Edward Palmer , 17 , pleaded guilty of having broken and entered the dwellinghouse of Richard Palmer , and stealing therefrom * 16 183 ., four silk handkerchiefs , and other articles , the property and monies of the said Richard Palmer . —The court sentenced him to nine months ' hard labour . Robbery akd Embezzlement . —Henry Maple stone , 40 , was indicted for stealing £ 10 , the monies of Alfred Thomas Burrell , his master , and there were also two charges of embezzlement against him . —The prosecutor was a printer in Buckingham-street , Strand , and the prisoner was in his employ at 30 i . aweek as clerk . In July last
Mr . Burrell left town , but before doing so he gave the prisoner a cheque on hia hankers for £ 48 TaOd , and an acceptance for £ 5 , which he had received from a customer , and directed him to pay the Bame to Messrs . Spalding and Hodge , the wholesale stationers in Drury-lane . Instead of doing so , however , the prisoner went to the Strand branch of the Royal British Bank , and got cash for the cheque , and paid Messrs . Spalding and Hodge £ 10 less than the amount he was instructed to pay . The prosecutor returned to London on the 2 nd instant , and he then found that the prisoner had quitted his employ a fortnight before without notice , and afterwards the prisoner sent two letters , in
which he attributed certain irregularities in his accounts to a connexion he had unhappily formed with a woman . —It was suggested in cross-examination , that the prisoner had appropriated the £ 10 to tho payment of the costs of an action brought by Mr . Burrell against ilr . Raymont , a grocer , at Hertford , in which a jury at the Sheriff ' s Court found for the defendant . But Mr . Burrell stated that he gave a cheque for those costs quite independent of the transaction which formed the subject matter of tbe indictment . —The prisoner receiveda very high character , and the jury , in finding him Guilty , strongly recommended him to mercy . —The court sentenced him to three months ' lard labour .
Robbery by a Journeyman Painter . —Patrick Manning , 16 , was indicted for stealing a watch , value £ 10 , the property of Leonard Carew Gwynn , in the dwelling house of John Faire .

Faire ' s house , and he was observed by a person on the opposite side of the way to get through a window on the ' second floor , and suspicion being excited , a search was made and the prisoner was found in an upstairs room , and in his pocket was a watch which hehad stolen from a dressing case belonging to the prosecutor . The jury found him Guilty , and he was sentenced to six months' hard abour .
Robbing as Esiploter . —Job Wood , 3 o , was indicted for having stolen a parcel of knives and forks , the property of Joseph Hornby Baxendale and others , his employers . The prisoner was a porter in the prosecutors , the well known carriers under the name of Pickford and Company , in the goods department at Gamden Town station , and the evidence for the prosecution went to show that he extracted from a chest that had arrived from Sheffield , a dozen knives and a dozen forks ; but Mr . Parry , in his address to the jury , threw some doubt upon the'testimony of the principal witness , and they acquitted the prisoner .
Robbery by Servants . —Ann Ayes , 23 , and Catherine Pettitt 20 , were indicted for having stolen a £ 50 , and a £ 5 Bank of England note , ibe property of Martha Birch . —The prisoner Pettitt pleaded guilty , and Mr . Sleigh appeared for Ayes . —The prosecutor stated that she was a widowlady , residing at No . 21 , Trafalgar-square , Twickenham , and about a month ago she lodged at 15 , . Hansplace , and afterwards she went to lodge at No . 9 , Cole 3 hill-street . Tho prisoners were servants at the house in Hans-place , ' . and they went with her in the same capacity to the house she went to live in in Coleshill-street , having prevailed upon her to allow them to do so by stating that their mistress in Hans-place treated them as complete slaves , and would not allow them to have any acquaintances .
Accordingly she took the prisoners with her to Twickenham on the Sunday , but on the following morning she received some information from her coachman , the result of which was that she immediately missed a £ 50 note , which she had previously sewn into her stayi . The money was safe there on the previous Friday . The stays were placed under the pillow of her bed for safety from Friday to the Monday . She also subsequently missed a £ 5 note from a prayer-book that lay on a dressing-table in tbe same room . She did nob know the number of the notes , but she received the £ 50 note from Mr . Chalmers , a broker of Lombard-street . — Mr . Francis George Herbert stated that he was a silversmith residing at No . 20 , Queen ' s-buildings , Brompton . The two prisoners went into his shop the loth inst at about eig ht
on the evening of ., o ' clock , and selected a pair of ear-rings of the value of 193 ., for which the prisoners presented in payment the £ 50 note produced . He put it aside , and asked them what change they wanted . They did not appear to know , hesitated , and from their manner he was convinced that they did not know the value of the note . He then questioned them as to how they became possessed of the note . They simultaneously answered that their mistress had given it to them to get id changed , and to take their wage 3 out of it . He asked them where they lived , and they replied at "So . 15 , Hans-place . " He told them that he must satisfy himself , upon which the prisoners left tbe shop . In consequence of the inquiries he had made , he gave information to the police , to whom he handed over the £ 50 note that had been presented to him . —John Fryer , police sergeant 2 B , proved apprehending Ayes , who , without any question being put to her ,

U . from the person , of Jane Trinnick . —On the night of the 10 th inst ., the prisoner were observed by Sergeant Hard wick , an officer specially employed at tbe Polytechnic Institution by that establishment , and he had reason to watch them . He saw them try the pockets of a number of ladies whibt their attention was directed to various obje&t 9 of interest ; and noticing that they were about to leave the building , he stopped them , and
requested to be informed what they had m their pockets . They replied nothing ; but Gilbert afterwards tooH out of tier pocket a handful of silver , and he took them into custody . On being searched there were found upon them four medals , twelve sovereigns , two half-sovereigns , above £ 2 in silver , and a gold watch . and chain , and a small caae , On the floor of the theatre , and of the chemical lectureroom , where the officer saw them busiest at work , were found about a dozen empty purses ; but the owners had not come forward to . identify them . Amongst them was one belonging to Mrs . Trinnick , which contained when she lost it the sum mentioned in the indictment . —Mr . Parry addressed the jury at some length with his usual energy , and to the astonishment of every person in the court , the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty . —An application was made for . the money to be given up to the prisoners , but Mr . / Witham said he certainly should not accede to such a request . . . '
Embezzlement . —George Hamlet Gritton and James ; George Spencer were indicted , the latter for having feloniously embezzled the sums of £ 3 is . Gd . 12 s ., and £ i l » 3 ,, the . moneya of William Samuel Burton , his master , and the former as an accessory before and after the fact . —The prisoners were found Guilty , and sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hardlabour for one year . . Obscbne Prints . —Thomas Strinapn was indicted for having unlawfully sold indecent and obscene prints . —The defendant resided in Minerva-street , Hackney-road , where ostensibly he carried on the business of a surgical bandage maker . From information received by the Society for the Supressionof Vice , they directed one of their officers to
go to his house , which he did , and after some conversation relative to surgical bandages , the officer introduced the subject of the prints which the defendant was in the habit of selling , and tho , defendant sold him a pack of cards upon wm ' ch were certain representations which formed the matter of this prosecution . The defendant was subsequently apprehended by Sergeant Chadwick , who found in hia house a quantity of filth of tho same character , and to him the defendant said he merely had such things to sell when anybody asked for them . The cards , Ac , were produced and submitted to the court . —Mr . Ballantine admitted that the things produced were properly styled in the indictment obsceneandindecent . and that the defendant wasguilty
of having sold them . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty . —Mr . Ballantine then appealed to the court for mercy for the prisoner , urging that he bad never before been known as a dealer in such disgusting matters , and thac < he had endeavoured , but unsuccesfully ,, to bring to justice the parties by whom he had been supplied . —Mr . Sleigh said it appeared that the defendant had been in the habit of selling cards and prints of this description at chemists ' and druggists' shops , and the Society for tho Suppression of Vice had received information that at such shops , articles of that description were now to be obtained—so many of the parties who kept shops exclusively for the sale of such things having been prosecuted and visited with the severity of the
law . It was from a chemist of highly respectable character that the society derived the information which led so the apprehension of the defendant , antl . it was very desirable that it should be known that the society knew this , in order that those chemists who engaged in the traffic might be aware of the consequences that would in all probability follow . —The learned judge said chemists' shops wero the places where poisons were sold , but it appeared then that they were selling poisons for the mind as well as the body . The present was not a case in which the court felt it was necessary to inflict the punishment awarded to those who recently had been convioted of this offence , and the sentence upon the defendant was , that he bejimprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months . —The court then adjourned .

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT . Holt v . Fesium . —The Royal Italian Opeha . This was an action brought by the plaintiff , a solicitor , residing at Liverpool , against the defendant , music-seller and dealer in opera tickets , in tbe Strand , to recover the sum of £ 3 18 s . 0 d ., under the following peculiar circumstances : —The plaintifl stated , that on the 22 nd of July last , ho applied at Mr . Fentum ' s in the Strand for nine pit tickets for the Royal Italian Opera , Covent-garden . The admissions were paid for , and plaintiff and his company took the precaution to be at the theatre in pretty good time , with a view to secure places for seeing the performance . Upon their arriving the pit was quite full , so that it was difficult to obtain even standing room . Plaintiff having paid for the
tickets with the understanding that lie would have proper accommodation , at once applied to the boxdeeper for a return of his money . The check-taker informed him that the money would be returned had tbe tickets been purchased there , and in fact , money was being returned to persons who had procured the admissions . He subsequently applied to Mr . Fentum , who refused to return the money , and said , the tickets having been , used it was now entirely a matter between tbe plaintiff and the authorities of the Opera , who wero bound to find suitable accommodation for him . The plaintiff considered that the agreement was between him and the defendant , the latter being not an agent to the conductors of the Opera , but merely a speculator in their , tickets , and under these circumstances he was entitled to recover . —In answer to the learned
judge plaintiff said that the parties at the theatre gave him nine vouchers that there was no room in ; he pit , but did not return the actual tickets . —The learned judge : I think parties who buy tickets in this way are entitled to see tbe performance . In this case the defendant is not an agent to the proprietors . . He is a sub-contractor , and the plaintiff contracts with him , and if he don't get what lie buys tbe tickets for he is entitled to recover his money . He must , therefore , give judgment for tho plaintiff . —The plaintiff applied for costs , and stated that he had come expressly from Liverpool to settle the question . —Terdict for the plaintiff , with the usual costs only .

So I requested permission to pass through France to England direotly , without asking leave to stop in any place ( because I know tho character of the present Republican Trench government ) , and declaring to be ready to follow evevy loyal and honourable advice the government would feel convenient to give me for my rapid passage thro ugh ' France .
• ' Mon 9 ieUr Louis Napoleon Bonaparte refused the requested permission to pass through that French Republic which did him the honour to elect him to the high station , where his sacred , sworn duty is to be the chief guardian of the democratic constitution of his counjry , ' which proclaimed to the world to have for principles ' freedom and fraternity .

It seems pretty certain by the forgoing that Kossuth will not arrive at Southampton by the United States steam-frigate Mississippi , and the reason appears to be that the Mississippi having been placed at the disposal of Kossuth by the government of the United States for the purpose of effecting his conveyance to , New York , Captain Long , the commander of the steamer , would not feel himself at liberty to deviate himself from his course to visit England with his vessel . It is therefore supposed that Kossuth and his family would leave the Mississippi at Gibraltar , and
embark thonce by the first steamer for England , leaving the American frigate to proceed direct from Gibraltar to tho United States with tbe remainder of the refugees who are on board . SouinAxipioN , Oct . 13 th , ten p . m . —The steam ship Iberia has just arrived here . She left Gibraltar on the 5 thinst , and Lisbon on the 9 th . The Mississippi had not arriyed at Gibraltar when the Iberia left . The firing of the gun of the Iberia announcing her arrival caused great excitement at Southampton , and an immense number of persons left their homes thinking that Kossuth had arrived . ' ¦ "
The following address to Kossuth from the Portreeve of St . Clear has been sent to the Mayor of Southampton for presentation : — " ' To Louis Kossuth , late Governor of Hungary . " Sir , —It 13 with feelings of cordial gratification that I greet your approach to tho shores of England after the sad vicissitudes that have hitherto marked your noble career in the cause of liberty , and the instinctive rancour of despotism , its satellites and adjuncts ( including that of the present rabid French President and his minions in power ) , that has added to the littleness-of your fall , To express to you hero tbe meed of admiration due
to you were superfluous in both hemispheres , the public voice of fame attests it , that of prosperity will confirm it , and hail your name as a guiding star of the world ' s destiny . Suffice it , therefore , that one of the number who had the honour to solicit the interfence of the English government for your liberation , now seeks permission to felicitate you on your arrival in this- country , and to express his earnest prayer that the time is not far distant when you may . be restored—notwithstanding the malignity of banded despots that still pollute continental Europe—in triumph to bless your native land . In any case you wJll not have lived in vain ; your glorious example will have its due effect .
" Believe mo to remain , - " your most faithful and devoted servant , " Hugii Williams , " Portreeve of St . Clear , Carmarthen , South " Wales . ¦ " Oct . 4 tb , 1851 . " A number of ladies and gent lemen have been seen about the streets of Southampton with rosettes in their bosoms and coats , formed of the Hungarian patriotic coloured ribbons , scarlet , white , and green . The Countess Pulski , the celebrated Hungarian authoress , has arrived at Southampton . committee
The Southampton corporation appointed to conduct the management of the banquet lo Kossuth , met on Monday , and settled the programme of tho toasts to be given at the banquet . The usual loyal toasts will bo given , due homage will bo paid to the virtues and genius of the most distinguished guest at the banquet , the illustrious Magyar Kossuth ; the duties of national hospitality to the politically oppressed of all nations will be enunciated ; and the constitutional governments of Great Britain and of the United States will be re- > cognised aaalike opposed and inimical to republican tyranny and imperial despotism . The following important and interesting communication is from the Hon . R . F . Walker , the
distinguished American , to Mr . Deacon , the toivn clerk of Southampton , who , in obedience to the mayor and corporation of that town , had invited the hon . gentleman to the Kossuth banquet . The opinions of an American of talent , of distinguished position iu the United States , and of temperate political views on the honours about to be paid to the Hungarian leader in England , are of ' great interest . The Hon . Mr . "Walker , when ho visits Southampton' , is to be the guest of George Borrett , Esq ., one of the liberal magistrates of the town of Southampton , who was appointed a short time' since by the present Lord Chancellor . The late Sir Robert Peel quoted the opinions of the Hon . R . F . Walker as of great authority during the debates which preceded the abrogation of the corn-laws .
" London , Oct . 10 , 1851 . " Charles E . Deacon , Esq ., &c , &c . "Sir , —I have received your letter of yesterday , inviting me , on behalf of the authorities of Southampton , to a banquet proposed to be given by them to' His Excellency , Louis ; Kossutb , late Governor of Hungary , 'on his . arrival at your port . 41 Nothing could give me greater pleasure than to be present on an occasion so interesting and important . This illustrious exile is on his way to ray own country , being carried thither Muder the Aueerieaw flag , and in a national vessel ( bearing a name that ia dear to my heart ) , despatched for him' by the Presanctionof
sident of the United States , under the , a resolution of Congress . I rejoice that this ia an English banquet , that it is given by Englishmen , and that the eminent patriot , on first landing upon British soil , is to be thus received and . honoured . As an American , I thank you for the privilege afforded me by your invitation of being present on . this occasion . The BeLusU cabinet , through Lord Palmerston , united with ray own government in obtaining the liberation of Louis Kossufeh apd his associates . Nor will we forget tho magnanimity of the Sultan of Turkey , in protecting him and them within the Ottothaa Empire , and restoring them to liberty , in defiance- oi' the remonstrance ' s of despotic
powers . " The day of your banquet will be regarded by my countrymen as an illustrious epoch in the gradual hut certain and conservative progress ot British freedom . It will prove again that tho threats of absolutism ! inspire with no terror the hearts of Englishmen . England requires no foreign aid ; h'utiv if her gonevoua countenance to tho oppressed should oauso the oppressors to league "gainst ner , thero are millions of my countrymen who would esteem . it a glorious privilege to be permitted to contend for and with her , under her and our flag , and her and our own great captains , against the

despotisms Of the WOrld in firms . U ia less than a century since , under the British flag , your and our Washington ' and Braddock together fought , within the limits of Pennsylvania , my native state . It was under the satfie flag that you and our own oountrymen together fought , and your and our Wolfe then fell in the arms of Tictory upon the heights of Quebec . Language can convey no adequate idea of tho profound sensation that wiu be excited in America by your generous reception of Kos 9 uth , or of the gratitude which will warm every heart when the intelligence shall , reach the shores of my country . There this illustrious exile will receive such a triumph as has never been awarded by us to any one except our beloved benefactor , Lafayette . ' ¦ :
" Louis Kossuth is regarded by us as the champion of tbe freedom of his country , and as having struggled there for constitutional liberty and the rights of a brave and oppressed people . We believe he desired to establish for Hungary a government , with adequate checks and balances , similar , as far as practicable , to our own , and where life , liberty , and property should all be placed under the inviolable protection and guarantee of the law and constitution , We saw no support on hia part of those agrarian doctrines which lead only to disorder and anarchy , which are incompatible with the existence of free government , and upon which despots now seize as a pretext for the re-establishment of absolute power , ' " Differing as does our government in form from your own we are united with you by a common race
and language in the maintenance of tho common law of England , of the trial by jury , of the liberty of the press , and of those great principles of con-9 itutional freedom for which your Russell perished , your ilampden and your Sidnuy bled . Wo are united with you , also , in the support of thosu views of political economy taught by Adam . Smith , Ricardo , . Peel , and Cobden , which are so hostile to agrarian tendencies ; views so nobly maintained by your present enlightened ministry , parliament , and people . ^ We are united with you also in opposing all spoliation of coercive diversion of property which marked the downfall of Roman liberty , and the l'ccent reappearance of which fatal dogmas in another form which ia made the pretext lor the restoration of despotic power . Our ancestors took
with them from England to . America no such - disoaganising doctrines ; nor can they ever be propagated on our soil by tho ' crafts and assaults' of despots or demagogues . It is the toiling millions who constitute the mass of our people . They know that wages can only be increased ( as is desired by us all ) by augmenting capital , the fund out of which wages are paid , by uniting labour and capital as far aB practicable , in industrial pursuits , not by any legislative organisation , but ^ by voluntary co-operation , arising from enlightened views of their own true interests . They know that , the destruction or diminution of capital must destroy or diminish wages . Capital being only accumulated labour , to make war upon capital they know is to
assail labour which will . be best . rewarded when , unfettered by legislative inteference or restrictions , it is left to seek freely for-all its products the markets of tho world . These views were promulgated by me some years since , in official reports to congress , as tbe nnanco miniBter of the American cabinet ; were sanctioned by the action of congress , vo-affirmed by augmented majorities in our recent elections and may be regarded as the settled policy of the country . Views of similar tendency were propounded by an illustrious departed British prime minister , whose measures simultaneously with our own , enlarged the commerco and cemented the friendly relations of England and America , and who will ever be remembered ns a benefactor of
both countries , and of mankind . " I deem it due to myself and my country , and to you , illustrious guest , to state my respectful dissent from the efforts now made to impute to him those agrarian dogmas which were encountered by contrary provisions , for even securing property as well as contracts from all violation , inserted , as axiomatic trutha , by the founders of our republic , in our fundamental laws , lie has toiled too long , arid too much , in , tho cause of freedom , arid his course as Governor of Hungary was too wise and
enlightened to leave any doubt with us that he desired to establish for Hungary government founded upon those just and equitable principles by which life , liberty , and property were secured . "I hope to be with you when this banquet is given , but ( its dato being uncertain ) if any unforseen event should deprive me of that pleasure , permit me now to tender to the mayor and municipal authorities oi your enlightened and patriotic city my most sincere thanks for their flattering invitation , and to propose the following sentiment . " Most respectfully , your obedient servant ,
( Signed ) " B . F . Walker " The generous reception of Louis Kossuth upon British soil : —a rebuke to despotism which will be re-echoed with joyful acclaim from the American union . " A crowded and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Kingsland and the neighbourhood took place on Wednesday evening at the British School-room , for the purpose of adopting an address to be presented to the Hungarian patriot ' on his arrival in the metropolis . Frederick Clabke , Esq ., presided .
The Rev . T . W . Avelino observed that Kossuth came here , not because he had broken the lavra of his ' country , but because ho had dared , to confront the crowned perjurer who had broken those laws . ( Cheers . ) But for the conduct of one traitor , Hungary might now have been in full enjoyment of her liberties , with Louis Kossuth , where he deserved to be , . it the head of a free people . ( Cheers . ) He moved the adoption of an address to Kossuth . The address expressed profound sympathy with the struggle in which the Hungarian people were engaged , and regretted that the noble efforts of Kossuth and his compatriots had been defeated by fraud , perfidy , and force , and indulged the firm and unshaken faith that tho power was now silently but actively at work which would break the iron
sceptre and shiver the throne of despotism . It expressed admiration of the character of Kossuth , and especially in reference to his emancipation of tho serfs , believing that every step in his puhlic career—his lofty aims , his lovo of truth , the devotion of his life to high and holy purposes , his moderation in the hour of auccesa , and his heroic fortitude in that of misfortune , afforded genuine proofs that his heart was fully imbued with the love of high principle , and entitled him to the esteem of all good men . In conclusion , the hope was expressed that * the day was not far distant when his sufferings and labours would be rewarded by seeing his country released from her thraldom , and in the full enjoyment of freedom and independence . ?
Mr . It . Smith , of Dalston , seconded the adoption of the address . He referred to the attack of the " Times" ob Kossuth , observing that he detested the " Times , " and read it rather to detect its falsehoods than for any facts ho derived from it . ( Cheers and laughter . ) During the whole of the Hungarian struggle , the " Times" had been as much the organ of Austria as if it had been paid for what it did , ( Hear , hear . ) When Haynau had received his c . is tigatio ' n in Southwark , the " Times" immediately took up his cause , and asserted that the draymen knew nothing at all about the mutter , aa though the flogging of women was not sufficiently notorious throughout Europe . The " Times" had recently insinuated that Kossuth had been guilty of some wrong dealing in the earlier part of his career ; and how was the charge supported ? By tho assumption that he had himself destroyed the records of what he had done . ( Laughter . ) Anything more flagrantl y unjust'Lad never appeared even in the " Times . * "
The address was adopted amidsrb enthusiastic cheering . General Hatjo having addressed tha- meeting , Mr . JEbex Clarke moved a resolution , declaring that the liberty of Europe was closely linked with Italian independence , and recommending to tho favourable consideration of the meeting the **• So ^ ciety of the friends of Italy . " Mr . Jamesos seconded the resolution . Mr . P . A . TATtOB , who attended as a deputation from "The Frienda of Italy , " graphically described the deplorable condition of that eountry , observing that it was a legaHsed anarch y * an imperial reign of terror' ; ( Hear . ) In proof of this , he referred to Mr . Gladstone ' s recent woriw Othev speakers followed ,, and the proceedings closed with the-usual compliment to the chairman .

amount of subscriptions received , and the degree of enthusiasm displayed , there is every probability of tho demonstration being of a most effective character . At a meeting hold on Monday evening , Mr , Thornton Hunf in the chair—the committee of ar « r-angement presented a report embodying the following reeomrriendations : — "That the order of proceedings in marking the arrival of Kossuth be k follo 58 :-That an address be presented to Louis Kossuth ; that a procession be formed to welcome him on his arrival in London ; that Kossuth be invited to a banquet , to be given to him in the most spacious place obtainable ; that a permanent committee be formed to collect a public contribution of funds for the oause of Hungary , to be placed in the hands of Louis Kossuth , on his return from America to England . " These recommendations were then unanimously adopted . :
Mr . Petiie ( the secretary ) reported that ho . had , by the instruction of the committee , aUNuJed . a meeting of the German Agitation Committee tho preoeding evening , ono of their members ( Dr . Strauss ) having on their part expressed a wish to be informed of the nature of the intended Kossuth demonstration . The address which it was intended to present to Bossuth had been laid beforo them , and approved of ; and Dr . Tausenau , ono of their members , a friend of Kossuth , promisoJ to give tb . deputation every facility in his power for obt lining an introduction to Kossuth . They wero further informed thattho object was to get ' up an English demonstration ; but if foreigners chose to join ia the procession , they would not be prevented doing so . At the same time , no delegates from any foreign body would bo recognised , as much lor their own sakes as to give the demonstration cft'tct . on
the continent . Weve foreigners admitted to the committee it would only give an excuse for foreign powers to say that it was merely a plot got up by foreign refugees . Mr , T , Hunt ( the chairman ) atated that the com * mittee appointed to obtain the use of a suitable building for the banquet wevo not yet prepared to report . They had some idea of obtaining Drurylane Theatre . ( Cheers . ) The Chairman read an extract from tho " Progresso " of Turin , a letter from a gentleman < who had met Kossuth after his liberation at Genoa , and to whom the Hungarian hero had expressed himself as follows : " Whether I go , in the next week , to America , to Prance , or to England , or to whatever other region , my friends may be certain that I shall be guided in my selection by a lively sense of those duties to which my lifo and energies are . con ' secratod . "
Mr . Leslie announced that the West-end Shoemakers' Society had coir . e to a vote placing at the disposal of thoir committee whatever funds they might deem it necessary to contribute to this demonstration . ( Hear , hear . ) Some routine business was transacted , and' tha meeting adjourned .
MEETING IN WESTMINSTER . A preliminary meeting was held onTuesday evening at the King ' s Arms , Palace-yard , Westminster , to take into consideration the best means of manifesting respect for Kossuth and the great principles of constitutional liberty . The chair was taken by Mr . T . Prout . ., The CHAumxs said ho had received tbe following " letter from Sir De Lacy Evaus , M . P . for the city of Westminster : " Bryanston-squaro , Oct ., 13 , 1851 . " My dear sir , —I met yesterday your nephew , and had the pleasure of hearing . from him of steps being taken with a view to an expression of public feeling in Westminster on the occasion of theiin'U val in this country of the late Governor of Hungary . As I should heartily concur in any such proceeding , I shall certainly feel it a duty ' to attend any meeting of my constituents upon it , if in England at the time .
" The Austrian agents in this country , in order to prevent these expressions of opinion , present us a charge of . pecuniary malversation , But against whom ? Against tho individual actually invited and selected by a noble and aristocratic Hungarian Cabinet to administer , as their colleague , the national finances . Nay more , that appointment waa confirmed by the imperial Austrian government . So much for the gravity , then , attached to this imputation by the highest and most unimpeached public men of both those countries . " Kossuth voluntarily resigned tho ] finance department , on ascertaining , or being convinced , that no confidence could be placed in the good faith of the Austrian government . The subsequent conduct of that government does not discredit his convictions on that point . " Whether the more aristocratic or the radical
Jiberals of Hungary wero the _ most pure in motives , or most volitlc in conduct , is not the question wa have to consider , nor have we information upon it that we can rely on to guido us to a decision . " What I believe , and that which I think tha English public generally believe , ia that the popular cause , which was contended for in Hungary , was a good one , and well deserving tbe sympathy of , all honest reformers . And who will point out to us the person more conspicuously identified with that cause , and to whom we may address the expression of our sentiments , therefore , more fittingly than
this illustrious exile , called , as we know ho was , by the voice of his country to preside over its councils in its most perilous emergency , and who so gloriously tust .-tined that momentous trust ? The nationality as well as the liberties of Hungary have been destroyed by the armies of foreign despota . Iiut it was not a street or town emcute that we refer to—it was a national movoment . None other could have enabled the Hungarian patriots to chase the Austrian hordes from their territory . Their just wishes , therefore , wo will sanguiiiely hope may yet be accomplished .
" Most faithfully , my dear sir , yours , "De Lacy Evans . " " P . S . —I go to-morrow , for a short time , to tha continent , but shall bo enabled to postpone my departure from Folkestone for a week , till I hear what may be the decision iu Westminster on this subjnet . " - The Chairman then said ho was sure that on an occasion like that which had arisen , the men of Westminster would not bo backward in testifying their admiration of the illustrious individual who was about to visit the shores of this country . The history of Hungary resembled to a great , extent that of England ; and Kossuth and his companions had only struggled for what our forefathers had succeeded in obtaining , and what , it had been demon *
strated , led in our case to prosperity aad to happiness . ( Hear , hoar . ) It had been alleged in journals subservient to Austria , that Kossuth had damaged his character by the misappropriation of monies ; and though lie was not charged with , applying to his own use tho public funds , it was certainly being attempted by aside-wind to prevent him from meeting with that sympathy on his arrival in this country to- which ho was entitled . He recollected having seen a statcmeat in the " Times" that Ivossuth , being indebted to a merchant at Pesth to the extent of £ G 0 , dishonoured a bill . Now , though no ono was immaculate ,, they ought not fio give implicit credence to a statement emanating from such « 'i
quarter —( hear , hear)—nnd even if it were true , ife went to prove only that when'financial minister , of Hungary , Kossuth would not abuso his public character to discharge-a private debt- ( Hear , hcar . ) They all knew , however , the rancorous enmity , ot Austria towards th * Hungarian liberals , nnd should boon their guard , against any attempt to mislead them , and to prevent them from expressing their sympathy . It was the wish of those who had convened this meeting that a public meeting should ba called in Westminster to agree So an address of congratulation to . Kossuth , and he trusted that- ib would be a meeting worthy of the past reputation of Westminster .
Mr , T . Sauihmks , on risiag to move tha first resolution ,, said the subject * was one far rsmoyed above privato considerations . They wom nowbeginning to le-aru something of nungary , historically and politically ; and he , for one , would hail the arrival oi' Kossuth as ., an " event p ( great importance- ia connexion V-ifcti the value oi our own institutions . It was nothing to thonnrhat Louis KosButh ' s private anteoadonts were ; but , nevertheless ,. ho was satisfied that the aspersions cast upon him , were but the usual weapons , of an envehearand cheers
nomed autocracy . ( j" -IIear , , " . ) It had over been the caso that when the cause ot constitutional freedom had been discussed , endeavours had been made to throw obloquy upon thesa who were most forward in maintaining it . ( Hoar , hear . ) It was because he had defended his country —beeauseho had studied her ' coastitutioD , and endeavoured to maintain it inviolate , that the inhabitants of thi » country sympathised with Kossuth , ( Cheers . ) iio concluded by moving a resolution , declaring it to be the opinion of tho meeting ilia an address , should be drawn up , and submitted to a
public msetmg in Westminster , for presentation to Kossuth soon after his arrival in this country . Mr . Geokge secondad ihe resolution , lie hoped the men of Westminster would show tho " Tinu-s " that the charges which it published against Kossuth had no eflect upon their opinions . ( Cheers . ) Similar chargos were made , and refuted , tevcral months ago . But" Destroy the web of sophistry in vain , f . Tho creature ' s at his dirty work again . ' However influential the " Times" might bo the English people would take its opinions oiily : tor what they wero worth ; and when it deserved censureib would have ik t
