The Release of Kossuth and his Compatriots—Their Embar- cation for the United States, $c. On the 29th ultimo, the U. 8. eteamer Mississippi, com- manded by Captain Levy, arrived here from the eoast of Italy, for the purpose of carrying out the resolution of the Senate respecting the Hungarian refugees at Kuteyah. The Hoa, George P. Marsh, who has been abeent for some months pest on # tour through Egypt ‘and Syria, returned here in her. The Mississippi had the misfortune to get on shore in the Gulf of Smyrna, oppo- site the castles of that city. The entrance to this harbor is very narrow and crooked, and of dangerous naviga- tion; #0 much £0 as to endanger most versels entering here at night. Several mercantile steamers, on their passage out of the harbor, went to her assistanee, but she had become so fastly imbedded in the mud, as to baflle all their exertions in her behalf. It was only after diseharg- ing her coals and water that she could be moved; and when this was done, she slid off with great facility: without any damage whatever. The Turkish govern- ment vas on the point of sending down to her rescue one of its largest and most powerful steamers, when news arrived bere of her having succeeded im leaving the spot where she bad grounded. On arriving, the Mississippi saluted the city, and also the Minister on his leaving her. She now lies snugly at archor in the Golden Horn, much admired and visited by all classes of people—Mos- lem, Christian and Jew—and busily engaged preparing for her long journey across the “great pond.” ‘The let instant was a day of deep interest to M. Kos- suth, and all the other political refugees detained at Kutayah. The Sultan, agreeable to his promise, on that day, set them all at liberty. In the forenoon of the Ist, they left the place of their irksome detention for the little town and port of Gemlik, at the head of the Gulf of Madamich, the sca port of Brousa. They are some sixty in number—men, women and children; and, as they travel tlowly over @ very mountainous route, will not reach Gemlik before the 7th, M. Kossuth has accepted the gererous offer of the Se nate of the United States, and, together with the greater part of the refugees, will embark on board the Missis- sippi for New York Count Bathyany, his countess and suite, will go to France, where he intends residing. Be fore leaving Turkey they will, however, spend a few days at this place. at the hotel of the Frenoh Legation. It is said that they are both old friends and acquaintances of the present Frerch Minister and his lady. the Marquis, and Marchioncss La Vallette. The Marchioness you will remember as the widow of the late banker of Paris, Wales, of the old American firm of Welles & Greene. Netwithstanding that the Marquis represents republican France, be has but liitle respect for republican princi- ples, foreswears all revolutions, und looks forward, confi- dently, to the prospect of another royalty in the Tulle. ries. It is said that he would not take any part in in- ducing the Turkish government to liberate Kossuth; he regards him ar possessing republican principles, aud as being dangerous to the peace and tranquillity of Europe, Count Batbyany is eeid to be of the aristocratic clas of the tinn patriots, and not of the republican party, and this supposition recommends him to the syia- pathies and the horpitaiities of the representative of re- publican France.

There is no doubt but that it was a mort disagreeable position for the young Bultan to occupy in the eyes of the world, and one from bi) he made his delive:ance as carly as he possibly could. So soon as the Austrian legation here learned that the Sultap had really the intention to liberate the ILun- gariape, it ie eaid that the Charge de Affaires renewed his rotest egeinst it, in tones of menace and deprecation. To the Grand Viaier, or Chief Minister of the Sultan, the Chaage de Affuires is aid to have addressed himavlf, at an interview wh'ch he had with him, in language pecu- Mar to Austrian diphimacy. Afterthe usual remarks of regret at the unfertupate course about to be adopted by the Sultan's government, and the great disptersare which bis Tmperial Majesty the Emperor. his most gra chus master would certainly experience from it, he added thet the newly appeinted Loternonce (Minister) of Austria eculd not come to Constantinople until the Yc rte ehculd consent to abandon its unfortunate policy, and, faithfel to its old relations of amity for the Aus trian em-pire premise to continue to detain the “Iun- gerian retels’” at Kutayeh for life, or wntil the clemency of the Emperor, his gracious master, ehould evince itself in their fever.

At the Opening of the twenty-fourth Annual Fair, at Castle Garden, on Wednesday evening, ene of the trus- tees delivered the usual address, according to the custom of the Institute on such occasions. He compared the fair of last year, which was visited by about 88,000 per_ sons, who paid for thelr tickets, with Chet of 1896—the eighth annual fals—when 22,000 tickets only were sold. Aswe have known the Institute from the jump, or rather before it was abte to jump (in the yeer of its or- ganization in 1828), and have watched its progress from that time to the present, we shall go back further than this trustee has, namely, twenty-one years, to October 1880, when the third annual fair was held at Masonic Ball; and it may be said the Institute then first tried its own strength with the public. The first and second fairs, in 1828 and 1829, as we stated inthe Herato on Wednesdsy, were each held under peculiar cireum- stances—the first under # system of free admission to the public, and sustained by voluntary subscriptions; the recond receiving the amateur aid of Mr. Richard K. Haight, who pointed out the path to success and self- sustaining support, by adopting the system since pur- sued, of issuing admis-ion tickets to the public, at a mo- derate and satisfactory charge. ‘A very cursory examination of the articles now on exhibition at Castle Garden, satisfies us that there isa decided improvement in the quality and style ‘of the most important fabrics and works of art, over former years, althcugh the number of exhibitors may be less than last year, when 2,830 sent in contributions to the fair o¢ 18f0. After glancing ut the display of this season, the exhibitions of former years arose in our memory in com- Parison, and, considering the third annualffair, im 1830, (twenty-one years since). as the real starting point of the Inetitute in these annual shows—we have referred to the report of the committee who managed that fair, to re- fresh our own recollections, and make such extracts as may enable cur readers to compare the present display with one made by the same institution so long ago as 1830, The Executive Committee of the Institute, who ma- paged the third annual fair, in October, 1830, were John Mason, Peter H. Schenck, Clarkson Crolius. Eleasar Lord, Thaddeus B. Wakeman, Edwin Williams, Dr. Felix Pascalis, James Lynch, and John A. Sidell. Of these cfilcers of the Institute five are deceased, and the re- maining four are not at present very active members. ‘Their report states, that the fair was held at Masonic Hell, in October, 1830—that the number of exhibitors was 209, and about 3,000 specimens were exhibitei—that from thirty to fifty thousand spectators attended the fair, among whem were several executives and other distin. guished citizens from other States, including Hezekiah Niles, Keq , of Baltimore, long the editor and publisher of the voluable weekly Register, which bears bis name, and forme almost the cnly history of the United States for referer ce for its times. Mr. Niles was invited, as an old friend of Americen industry, to attend the fair The Hon Tristram Burges. of Rhode Island, delivered the ad- dees. which, although able, was too long, and became 60 tedious that many of the sudience ret while he was in the midst of nis argument. The report cn the fair, (which we believe was drawn up by the late Mr. Wakeman.) is rtrongly imbued with bie high teriff notions, to foster which was one of his main objects in founding the Institute. This report étates that pecimens of woollen cloths were not numer- cus in the exhibition of 1830, but that the ingrained car- ting and hearth rugs were equal to the best imported. Felting cloth bad been shown as a new article for oar- pets. Cotton prints greatly surpassed all former exhibi- Ueps. Cotton cambrics and cotton yarn, as high as No. 106, were shown, The specimens of linen were few, and bo evidence was afforded that linen waa keeping pace with cottcns. Tke production of the latter then in- creased twenty feld, in twenty-five years, and cotto gceds bad been favored with a large protecting duty; while linens, not so favored, had made no percep able sdvances either in quality or quantity, within the pre. vious fifty years, The samples of iron and steel, the report Fays, sfford proof that those important aud ntial materials would, in a few years, be entirely supplied from our own resources. The Chinese mulberry, exhibited by Dr. Pascalis, and a few specimens of silk goods, from various quarters, en- couraged the hope of wovrweneiog He mulberry culture, d the manufacture of silk in the United States. epeeulation.

FE Curren Suira.—By the advices received per Canade, we learn that the clipper ship Surprise, of this port. had her tonnage engaged at Canton for London, at £6 per ton, while the English ships were taking freight at £30 £4, This makes the seoond season that the preference bas been given to American ships, at advanced rates. ‘The fine order in which the Oriental delivered her cargo, and tke high prices obtained. procured for her a charter in England at £7. At latest dates she was loading at Shanghai with new teas, and would, it was expected, sail again with her competitor, the English clipper Rein- deer, for England. The Roman was also at Shanghai, loading at £6 pee ton. The good order in which these American ships have delivered their cargces in England, and their return ear. gees here, and also by their short passages, enabling shippers to receive prompt returns for their adventures, thus saving interest and securing an early market enables theehipper {o pay a much higher rate of freigh than by British vessels.
