Ar- rapgements were begun, with its rising, for the splendid display that was afterwards beheld by at least a quarter of a million of free people. THE VANDE RBILT CEREMONIES. At an early hour, @ considerable crowd was col lected on the Battery, to witness the departure of the Oregon from Castle Garden, to bring Kos- suth te the city. The Garden was fenced ia with barriers, consisting of posts and chains, and a large party of police were in requisition to guard the entrance, to which there was admission only by tickets. ‘The number issucd was about £00, As the time drew nigh for the departure of the boat, there was a complete rush of those who were provided with the necessary su- thority, But as yet no boat appeared. At length the ©. Vanderbilt, and not the Oregon, was seen moving towards the Garden; but es the Oregon was an- nounced, and as the Vanderbilt had no colors hoisted, the movement was not understood. Soon, however, it became epparent that # change had been made, ani that the Vanderbilt was substituted for the Oregon; for mo sooner did she touch the Garden, than the invited, who had been waiting, rushed on board, and in a few minutes she was awoy, and her flags were given tothe breeze. On inquiry, we arcertained that the rea son why the Oregon was not obiained, was that twenty- four hours notice was not given as had been agreed to, and it was only at 11 o'clock on Friday night that Alderman Delamater succeeded in obtaining the Vanderbilt. ‘There appeared to be # general feeling that the reception ‘was premature, and that Monday would have been the better day, aa notice sufficient had not oven given; and several military companies refused, at first, to turn outon thatacoount. Saturday, besides, is never a good day for any public demonrtration. But it could not ‘well be deferred, and the enthusiasm and excitement of the people more than made up for the want of notics, ‘The news appeared to spread Mie wildfire. ‘The crowd that flocked to the Battery continusliy in- creased, untill at length it swelle@ toa vast multitude. ‘There were many doeived by the frllowing haad bill, posted up in the vicinity of the Battery :— RRoverTioN oF KomsuTH The large and aplendid steamer Norwalk, ‘will accompany the Common Council with our illustrious Kossuth, from Quaranti Castle leave Peck lip at 8° AM pt.

Among those on board were the members of the Com- ‘mon Council, the members elect, the members of Legislature and the members elect, and some of the distingulebed citizens, military and civic.

Dr Doane endeavored to get his permisdon, but the Magyar ‘was inexorable and would not consent. He said he wis | efreid that it wae an attempt to make a speculation of ‘him, and that he had acted in» similar manner ie Bag” Aand, where attempts had been also made to take his Likeness.

On leaving the wharf, before proceeding on board, he thanked Mejor Hagadorn, the officer in command, for ‘the attention that had beem paid vo him, to whioh the Major replied that it would always be looked upon by ‘bim and bis companions in arms, as the highest honor Of their lives to have served as a guard to Kossuth ‘The soene at the wharf baifies all description.

Two of Kos- suth’s sides-de-camp, kept the door of the pilot-house Hungarian expressed his admiration and et all he saw, and sald the fortifications were adapt- edfor the defence of the city. He added that the bay ‘and harbor were very beautiful. ‘The shipping in the harbor was guily decorated, ia honor of the great Magyar ; the steamboats in the East River rang their salutations with their bells, and from the heights of Brooklyn amateur cannon welcomed the illustrious stranger. He seemed much gratified ; and weil he might at such a reception. On coming opposite the Navy Yard, he was saluted by @ national salute from the North Carolina and the other shipe ot war lying there. The yards of the North Caro- lina were manned, and the cheering of the sailors was loud and enthusiastic. It was responded to from the steamboat with her gun and tremendous cheers. At Williamsburg another salute was fired from the land, and great crowds were collected along the wharfs. ‘The Vanderbilt put about opposite the Almas House, mt Twenty-seventh street, and im returning kept close to the west side of the river, Again the steamboats and ships greeted Kossuth, and the bells rang merry peals. Again they were answered by the bell of the Vanderbilt and the firing of her gun. On coming opposite the Battery, the scene that met the eye was glorious. The military were all drawn up in front. Their beautiful uniforms and their arms glittering im the sun—the vast multitudes that were at their back Sliing the entire area of the Perk, and amounting appa- rently to about 100,000 persons, including those who were outside and could not find even standing room within— all presented a coup d'ail that a governor, or even an em- peror might well feel proud of, A ehout of welcome from this vast military aud civic multitude rent the air, while the guns from the Battery blazed forth their thunder. (w#ing to want of time the remainder of the intended excursion up the North river was abandoned, and the Vanderbilt put into Castle Gar- den, but from want of water and the great numbers in the boat who kept all to one side, it was impossible to laud fora considerable time. The greatest excitement pre vailed, and some got out in small boats. At length a landing was effected, and the great Mag- yer, accompanied by his suite entered the old fort amidst the deafening acclamations of thousands. We shonld mention that a grand dejeuner was served on board the boat,prepared by Mr O'Keefe and a table was laid out for Kossuth and suite, in the ladies’ saloon, but he said he had breakfasted so late he felt no appetite, and he declined to partake of any of the good things provided for him. THE RECEPTION AT CASTLE GARDEN. Eleven o’clock was the hour appointed for the recep tion of Kossuth at Castle Garden, but it was aot unti twelve that the landing was made. In the mean time teveral thousand people were assembled within the spa- cious ball, Among them wore several ladies, the fair sex evidently taking at much. interest, and being as de- sirous of secing and hearing the great Magyar as the men. At length Kossuth disembarked, and then ensued a scone of excitement which it is impossible to portray Bang, bang, bang, went the guas—tap, tap, tip went the drums Hurtab, hurrah! Three cheers’ Baag bang, bange Hurrah! Three more. There ho is! Where? There's Koseuth! IMarrah!

SUNDaY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, 1851. | Gentlemen, if you will come to order, Governor Kossuth ‘will proceed with his remarks. Quiet being somewhat restored, Governor Kossuth commenced speaking as follows :— KOSSUTH’S SPEECH IN THE GARDEN. Mr. Mavon—Gentiemen—If you desire to hear my humble thanks for the generous reception you honor me with, then I humbly entreat you to keep silence, because else it is not possible to speak in such « great place. I am half sick, gentlemen, tossed and tumbled about by a fortnight’s gale upon the At- lantio’s restless waves; my giddy brains are still twirling around ine whirlpool, and this gigantic oonti- nent seems to tremble beneath my steps. Let me, before I go to work, have some hours of rest on this soil of free. dom—the soll ef freedom, your happy home. Freedom and Home !—what heavenly music in these two words! But I bave no home, and the freeaom of my people is {redden down ! Young giant of free America! You will ell me tbat your sacred shores are an asylum for the op- pressed and homeless exile. But as I look on thes, will all the blessings of your glorious country‘drown into oblivion the long desires of my heart fer my native land? My poor native land! Thy sufferings make thee etill dearer to my heart. Thy bleeding image is with me while I wake and while I sleep. It has accompanied my ‘across the waves, and will secompany me when I go back to fight over the battles for thy freedom once more, I have no idea but thee; I have no thought, no sentiment, but thee, Andeven here, with this prodigious view o ereatness, freedom, and happiness, before my eyes, my thoughts are wandering home; and when I turn to you gentiemen—when I bow before the majesty of the United States, and when I intend to thank you for the generous share you have taken for my liberation, and for this high honor of your generous reception, I see, out from the very midst of this assembly, the bleeding image of Hungary arise, looking at you with anxiety, to see if there is in the lustre of your eye a ray of hope for her—to hear if there i* in the thunder of your hurrahs a trumpet call for ber resurrection. If there were no such ray of hope in your eyes—if there were no euch trumpet calls im yeur cheers, then wo to Europe's oppressed na- tions! They will stand alone in the hour of need, Less fortunate than you, they will meet mo brother's hand to help them against the derpots of the world ; and wo to me ! I shall feel no pleasure even here. And the days of my staying here will turn out to be lost for my father- land. It will be wasted, perhaps at the very time of the decision of Burope’s destiny. Citizens, much as Iam in need of rest—much as I want to become familiar with the ground I will have to stand upon, before I enter into business matters publicly —I took it fora duty of honor not to let escape even this first opportunity of your generous reception, with. out telling you plainly, openly, whet sort of man I am. and what are the hopes and expectations, and motives which brought me to your shores. (Here there was some disturbance, which induced Kos- suth to stop, He remarked—Wil the gentlemen stand still ; it ir mot pessible to speak.) Vorce—They are coming to you. Kossct—But it is impossible to speak. It requires great force to speak, and if it is not quiet, it is imporsible. Gentlemen, I have to thank the people, the Congress and the government of the United States for my liberation from captivity. Human tongue has no expression fop my feelings when I first caught sight of the flag of the United States. But however dear my gratitude may be, this would have been of no use to me at this very mo- ment. in coming to the United States only for the pur- pose of expressing to you my thanks. The move- ments im Kurope are of very great importance now Here there was more disorder, which was extremely annoying, and Kossuth’s efforts to make himselt heard evidently distreseed him. His lady, who was with him on the platform, was apparently alittle alarmed. Kossuth suspended speaking in the hope that the immenss aesemblage would come to order. Me made another flort— - Citizens, I have to beg the people to remember about the cireumstanoes of my captivity. More disorder. Kosseuth then aatd he would give hi notes to the press, for he could not possibly make him. self heard. Cries of “Go on.”” Kost t1— But T can't goon. A ceatieman on the platform then remarked to the audience : Gentlemen, as the noise is 60 great that Govern Kossuth cannot be heard, he will make a few brief remarks to the Mayor and then conclude. (Great disappointment and chagrin were manifested that Kossuth could not proceed | Kossctn then addressed a few remarks to the Mayor, tbe substance of which is as follows :— ‘This is no place ‘for me to enter into matters of im- portance. Still I suppore you will be so kind as to re- ceive my thanks for your reception. I shall, before avother meeting of your citizens, have become familiar witn the ground on which I stand, and [ can thenex press the humble wich of my beloved country, which is #0 strongly connected with the fate of Burope, Hoping that you will grant me the favor of deferring any fur: ther remarks at present, | beg toexpress my most humble thanks for my generous welcome, and my confidence that this will turn owtto bes very important day to the destiny of my people. Because I know very well that the people of New York have resolved to bestow its eympa- thy upon my native land. I trust they meaa not only to speak in word, but also to give efficient aid to the ¢ which Ihave the honor to represent. Please ao cept my thanks. (A rush was then made for the platform, andthe moet ing broke up in disordér. Thus ended the reception tcene in Castle Garden, There were not among the im- ‘Menee congregation present more than thirty or forty persone who did not mort heartily and anxiously desire to bear the great Megya:'s epeech. [t was a ead disappointment that the proceedings were so shamefully interrupted as they were, Who these disturbers were or what was their motive, our reporter could not learn At all events the reputation of our city has suffered by these ecemes ) mn After Koasuta reached bis hotel, his private secretary dictated his speceh from his manuscript to the reporters who recelved, at the ame time, the following note from Mr. Pulasky:— - Te STLEMEN oF THE Presa: 7 ‘husiaem of the people of New York, with whieh it expressed ite mobic aympathy for Hungary, was 09 great that ite outburet ‘made it imponeitie for the Go vernor to addresa the mgnwai but out Of respect to th» ipbabitante of the Empi ', @ad to show his grati- tude for the cordial welerme he was honored h which to day, he wishes, by the m ey of}the press, to pay: ublicity to bis fectinen, on te have cireulttes what he would have raid, if, unfortunately for him, and for the cause of Hungary, Assembled thi morning, bad had lees sympathy, and had expreaed it lees warmly. en, your obedient servant, eae PRAMOLS PULZIKY, THR SPERCH OF KOSSUTH IN FULL.

It has accompanied me over the waves. It will accompany me when I go back to fight ever again the battle of thy freedom omee more, I have no ides but thee; I have no feeling but thee.

If there ‘were no such ray of hope in your eyes, and no such trumpet call in your cheers, then wo to Europe's op- pressed nations, They will stand alone in the bour of need. Less fortunate than you were, they will meet no rother’s hand {to help them in the approaching giant struggle against the leagued despots of the world; and woalso tome. I will feel no joy even here, and the days of my stay here will turn out to be lost for my father-land—lost at the very time when every moment is teeming in the decision of Europe's destiny. Citizens, much as Iam wanting some tours of rest, much as I have need to become familiar with the ground I will have to stand upon before I enter om business matters publicly, I took it for a duty of honor, not to let escape even this first moment of your generous wel- come, without stating plainly and openly to you what sort of man I am, and what are the expectations and the hopes—what are the motives whicn brought me now to your glorious shores. Gentlemen, I have to thank the people, Congress, and government of the United Btates for my liberation from captivity. Human tongue has wo words to express the bliss which I felt when I~ the down-trodden Hungary’s wandering chief—saw th glorious flag of the stripes and stars fluttering over my bead—when I first bowed before it with deep respect—when I saw around me the gallant officers and the crew of the Miseissippi frigate—the most of them the worthiest representatives ef true American principles American greatness, American generosity—and to think that it was not @ mere chance which cast the star-epan- gled banner around me, but that it was your protecting will—to kncw that the United States of America, con- eclous of their glorious calling as well as of their power declared by this unparalleled act to be resolved to be- come the protectors of bumam rights—to see a powerful veerel cf America, coming to far Asie, to break the chains by which the mightiést despote of Europe fettered the activity ofan exiled Magyar, whose very name disturbed the proud security of their cheep—to feel restored by such ® protection, and in such a way, to freedom, and by free- dom to activity, you may be well aware of what I have felt, and still feel, at the remembrance of this proud mo- ment of my life. Others spoke—you acted; and I wa® free! You acted; and at this act of yours tyrants trem- bled; Lumanity shouted out with joy; the down trodden people of Magyars—the down trodden, but not broken, rajeed bis head with resolution and with hope, and the brilliancy of your stars was greeted by Europe's oppressed vations as the morning star of rising liberty. Now, gentlemen, you must be aware how boundless the grati- tude must be which I feel for you. You have restored me to life—because, restored to activity; and should my life, by the blessings of the Almighty, still prove useful te my father-land and to humanity, it will be your merit—it will be ycur work. May you and your glorious country be blessed for it. Europe is on the ve-y eve of ruch immense events, that however fervent my gratitude be to you, I would not have felt authorized to cross the Atlantic, st this very time, only for the purpose to exhibit to you my warm thanks. I would have thanked you by facts contributing to the freedom of the European continent, and wou'd have postponed my visit to your glorious shores till the decisive battle for liberty was fought—if it were my destiny to outlive that day. Thea wiat is the motive of my being here at this very time? The motive, citizens, is that your generous act of my liberation has raised the conviction throughout the world that this generous act of yours is but the manifestation of your revolution to throw your weight into the bal- ence where the fate of the Baropean continent is to be weighed. You have raised the conviction throughout the world, that by my liberation you were willing te ray, “Ye oppresred mations of old Farope's continent, be of good cheer; the young giant of America stretebes his powerful arm over the waves, ready to give ® brother's hand to your future.” So is your act inter- preted throughout the world. You, in your proud se- curity, can scarcely imagine how beneficial this convic- tien has already proved to the suffering nations of the European continent. You can scarcely imagine what elfconfidence you have added to the resolution of the oppressed. You have knit the tie of solidarity ia the destinies of nations. I can’t doubt that you kuow bow I war received by the public opinion in every country which I tcuched since Tam free, and what foei- ings my liberation has elicited im those countries which i. was mot my lot to touch. You know how I,a plain, poor, penniless exile, bave almost become a centre of hope and coufidence to the most different nations, not united but by the tle of common sufferings. What is the eeurce of this apparition unparalleled in mankind's his. tory’ The souree ef it is, that your generous act of my iheration is taken by the world for the revelation of the fact that the United States are resolved not to allew the despots of the world to trample on oppresred Bumewity, It ishence that my liberation was cherred, from 6veden down to Portugal, asa ray of hope, It Is henoe that even thore nations which most decire wy presences in Rurope now, have unanimously told me, “Hasten on, hasten on to the great, free, rich and powerful people of the United Btates, and bring over ite brotherly aid to the cause of your country, 9o inti- mately connected with Huropean liberty; and beret stand to plead the cause of the solidarity of human rights before the great republic of the United States. Humble as I om, Ged, the Almighty, has selected me to represent the cause ot humanity before you. My warrant to this capacity i: written in the aympa- thy snd confidence of all who ars oppressed, and of all who, as your elder brother, the p< ple of Britain, symps- thine with the oppreseod—my warrant to this capacity is written in the hopes and expectations you have entitled the world to entertain, by liberating me out of my pris. on, end by restoring me to activity. But it has pleased the Alm!ghty to make out of my humble seif yet her opportunity for «thing which may prove a happy turn- ing point in the destinies of the world. I brine you « brotherly greeting from the peopie of Great Britain. 1 speak not im an official character, imparted by diplomacy, whose secresy is the curse of the wocld, but Tam the harbinger of the public epirit of the people which bas the right to impart « direction to its gorern- meot, and which I witnessed, pronouncing itself in the wort decided manner, openly—that the people of Eng- land, onited to you with enlightened brotherly love, as it Is united in blood—conselous of your streng’h as it is conscious of ite own, has for ever abandoned every senti- ‘ment of irritation and rivalry, and desires the brotherly States to secure to every naticn the sovereign right to dispose of itsel 1d to protect the soverign right of nations against the encroaching arrogance of despots, and leagued to you against the league of despota, to stand, together with you, god- father to the approaching baptism of Faropean liberty. Now, gentlemen, I have stated my position. T am « straightforward man. I am a republican. I have avowed it openly in the monarchical, but free Hogiand ; and I om bappy to state that I have nothing lost by this avowal there, I hope I will not lose here, in republican America, by that frankness, which must be one of the chief qualities of every republican. So I beg leave, frankly and openly, to state the following pointe:—Piret, that I take it to be duty of honor and principle not to meddle with whatever party question of Jour own domestic affairs. I claim for my country the right to dispose of iteelf; so Iam resolved, and must be resolved, to respect the rame Principle here and every- where, May others delight in the part of knights or. rant for theories, It is not my case. I am the man of the great principle of the soversignty of every people to dispose of ite own domestic concerns; and I most solemn. ly deny to every foreigner, as to every foreign power, the right to oppore the sovereign faculty. Secondly, I pro- fees, highly and openly, my admiration for the glorious Principle of union, on which stands the mighty | pyramid of your greatness, and upon the basis of which you have grewn, in the short period of teventy-five years, to « prodigious giant, the living wonder of the world. I have the most warm wish that the star spangled banner of the United ‘States may forever be floating, united and One, the proud ensign of mankind's divine origin ; and taking my ground on this Principle of union, which I find iawfully existing an eetablished constitutional fact, it is not to « party, bat to the united people of the United Btates that I confidently ‘will address my humble requests for aid and protection to oppresned T will conscientiously respect your laws, but within the limits of your laws I will ase every honest egertion togain your operativesympathy gag PRICE TWO CENTS. : your finanoial, material, and political aid for my country’s freedom and independence, and entreat the vealization of these hopes which your gemerosity has raised in me and my People’s breasts, and also in the breasts of Europe’s op- Pressed eations. And, therefore, thirdly, I beg leave frankly to state that my aim isto restore my fatherland to the full ewjoyment of that act of declaration o° in- dependence, which being the only rightful existing pub- ~ APPEARANCE OF THE BATTERY, At the hour appointed for the arrival of the steam. boat, the Battery presented an appearance, of which the word “ crowded ” gives but a faint idea. The surround. ing doorways, stoops, baleonies, ama every available place, was filled with anxious spectators ; while many “ boys,” of various ages, perched themselves in the trees, exhibiting in their ascent some admirable feats of Mec law of my nation, Can nothing have been lost of its | “‘sbinning.”” In one case, where the stem was rather rightfulness by the violent invasion of foreign Russian arms, and which, therefore, is fully entitled to be recog. nized by the people of the United Btates, whose very resistance is founded upon a similar declaration of inde- pendence? Thus having expounded my aim, I beg leave to state that I came not to your glorious shores to ehjoy a happy rest. I came not with the intention to gather triumphs of persomal distinction, or to be the object of popular shows ; but [came a humble petitioner in my country’s name, as its freely chosen constitu‘ional chief. What can be opposed to this recognition, which isa logical necessary consequence of the principle of your country’s political existence ? What can be oppored to it? The frown of Mr. Hulsemann—the anger of that sattellte of the Czar, called Francis Jossph of Austria; ‘and the immense danger with which some European and American papers threaten you, and by which, of couree, you must feel extremely terrified, that your mivister at Vienna will have offered his pass- ports, and that Mr. Hulsemann leaves Washington, should I be received and treated in my official capacity ’ Now, as to your minister at Vienna, how you can com- bine the letting him etay there with your opinion of the cause of Hungary, I really don’t know; but so much I know, that the precent absolutistical atmosphere of Evrope is not very propitious to American principles. I know @ man who could tell some curious facts about this matter. But as to Mr. Hulsemann, really { don’t be- lieve that he would be s0 ready to leave Washington. He has extremely well digested the caustic pills which Mr. Webster has administered to him so gloriously ; but after ell I know enough of the public spirit of the sovereign peo- ple of the United States,that it would never admit to what- ever responsible depository of the exeoutive power, should be even be willing to do so, which, to besure, your high-minded government is not willing to do, to be regu- lated in its policy by all the Hulsemauns or all the Fran- cis Josephs in the world. o I confidently hope that the sovereign of this country, the people, will make the de- claration of independence of Hungary seon formally recognized, and that it will care not a bit for it if Mr. Hulsemann takes to-morrow his pass ports, ton voyaze to him. But it is aleo my agreeable duty to pro» fers that Tam entirely convinced that the government of the United States shares warmly the sentiments of the people in that respect. It has proved it by executing in aready and dignified manner the resolution of Con- gress on behalf of my liberation. It has proved it by calling on the Congress to consider how I shall be treated and received, and even this morning I was honored, by the express order of the government, by an official salute from the batteries of the United States, in euch a manner in which, according to the mi litary rules, only a public, bigh official capacity can be greeted. Having thus expounded my aim, I beg leave to state (hat I came not to your glorious shores to enjoy s bappy rest—I came pot with the interition to gather triumphs of personal distinetion, but because # humble petitioner, in my country’s name, as its freely choren constitutional chiei, humbly to entreat your generous aid; and then it is to the aim that I will devote every moment of my time with the more eesiduity, the more restlessness, as every me- ment may bring a report of events which may call me to hasten to my place on the battle field, where the Great, axd I hove the last battle will be fought between Liverty and Derpotism, A moment marked by the finger of God tobe go near that every hour of delay of your generous aid may prove fatally disastrous to oppressed humanity,and thus having stated my posi- tion to be that of a humble petitioner in the name of my Opprersed country, let me rerpectfully ask, do you not regret to have } estowed upon me the high honor of this gloriens reception, unparalleled in history? I say un- pmralicled in history, though I know that your fathers have welcomed Lafayette in a similar way; but Lafay- ette had mighty claims to your country’s gratitude ;— he bad fought in your ranks for your freedom and inte- pendence, and what still was more, in the hour of your nerd. He was the link of your frlend!y connection with France—-a connection, the result of which too thick to admit of this operation, » rope was ingen- fously thrown over one of the arms, and afforded several the means of reaching the desired spate in the upper branches. No means having been taken for the suspension of business or traffic, considerable inconvenience was experienced by the passage of drays and carts, laden with various commodities. Atthe corner of the Battery near Bowling Green was erected @ triumphal arch, decorated with the ooiors ot Hungary, intermixed with the star-spangied banner, and the whole surmounted with a cap of liberty, formed of velvet. Near this gate was drawn up the barouche ia- tended for the use of Kossuth, to which were attached siz bey horses; and behind this were the other carriages for the use of the civic authorities, occupying the side of the Green on Battery Place. The military, consisting of the First Division of New York State Militia, haviag formed in a hollow ruare, the illustrious visiter, on tha conclusion ef the ceremonies in Castle Garden, sppeared ‘a their midst, mounted, accompanied by Gen. Sandford tal, made a brief inspection, amidst the chasers of the surrounding throng. Kossuth is an accomplished and graceful horseman. In reviewing the troeps on the Battery, he was mounted on Black Warrior, the veteran’ charger, now twenty years old, belonging te Major Mer- mil, of the United Btates dregoons, by whom he was ridden in the Florida and Mexican wars, having parti- cipated in all the battles, and been twice wounded. The old horee seemed young again, amid the noize of arma, which tended to show to advantage the fine appearance of bis distinguished rider. Kossuth then entered the risge, together with the Mayor. At this point, toad shouts were heard, “ Where is he?” “Which is he?’ and so forth. The military, then forming into line, wheeled out through the gate on State street, ead took the route up Broadway, the civic part of tha pre cession, at the head of which was Kossuth’: equipages romaining stationary until they bad passed. Great digi- culty wasexperienced in forcing a passage through the throng congregated at the corner of State street aad Battery place, and this, together with the great num's-r caused nearly two hours to be occupied before Kossuta’s carriage began to move, fellowed by others, as set forth in the programme already published. So dense was the multitude in Broadway, and 90 great was the pressure, that thousands upon thoussaads wece foreed out of the procession into the side streets, ead parallel streams cf human beings rushed up Nassau street on one side, and Greenwich on the other; and, after reaching the Park, vast numbers pressed inte Chureh street, Elm and Centre streets, in order to get @ little ahead, 90 as to obtain asight of the procession. For the entire route of the procession throug roadway apd back through the Bowery, the people fille’ every ‘lable epot long before the procession started. Alt along the line of march, and, indeed, throughout the city generally, bueiners was euspended, and tae whole demonrtration was one of the greatest, most importuat, and most enthusiastic ever given in (his city THE PROCESSION Abcut one o'clock the head of the procession moved slowly from the Battery, in the following ordar :— FIRST Div (SION.
