New York has reason to feel proud of her sol- Gers, Kossuth expressed bis admiration in the highest derme. When the procession reached the American Museum, Ube scene was in the highest degree imposing and mag- wifcent eity. It was such # scene as New York alone in the New World, and but few cities in the eid, could pro- dee. It will be long remembered by those who had the cecgbt of witnessing it. On reaching that point. the | cyen space of the Park burst upon the view. In front was cur beautiful Broadway, straight as an arrow, with thousands of variously colored th ard wreathes of evergreens decorating, the hotels and acore-buildings In the distance stood the graceful spire of Grace Church. in its calm dignity and architect aral grace. Op the right, Park Row apd Chatham street prereated ‘& ong avenue of fine buildings, likewise decorated in a —e style, with the Stars and Stripss, the cross cf &t. George, y , aod the Hungarian fag, entwined in hap y-barmony. (n the left was the massive Astor House, every window of which was filled with admirers of the great hero, of both sexes. While the eye was taking in bese. it was arrested by the Park itself, with its thou- sande of human beings, and the City Hall which never yreeented a more beautiful appearance than it did yes- ierday when ornamented with flags, and its portico fes tooned with drapery, and seen through the trees. The coup doeil thus presented was extremely grand and imposing. Koesuth was evidently amazed. It was more than be expested, aud \as be calmly viewed the scene, , Le was startled by # shout of welcome from the Astor Hense, which weuld have startled a less nervous person. Be iccked up ard tw every gentleman in the windows # poreh of that hotel huzzaing and waving bis perfect phrenzy of exthusiagm, the ladies saluting with equal fervor. Kossuth was taken by surprise. Ee) gracefuliy bowed, not once, but twire, thric con times. But the scene did not end bere. Tae pr cession was temporarily arrested by the immense crom Again loud buzzes were expressed for Kossuth by thirty tiousand persons of all classes. ages, aod sexes. The Bap) exiles who followed immediately after Kos- roth e. came infor their share of applause arring they. too were cheered frantically. They returned the ecmpliment. They waived their Hungarian banner in recegnition. Agaim, thirty thousand volces were raised in boner of the great Maygar, and again the Maygar fing was lowered Again were shouts of applause, and ‘the Hungarian exiles, not satisfied with lowering their fogs this time, actually danced with excitement, and ebeered as loud as the rest. It i impossible to do justice to tis scene ; but those who witnessed it will remember yt as long as they live and describe it to their children in after years. when Kossuth himeelf, in the gubernato- risl chair of Hungary, and the house of Hapsburg in exile or in their graves, may be reciting it to the mem- Aer of bis Gemoeratic government.

During the day it became generally known through our metropolis that the German Glee Clubs, attended by the Turner Soeiety, proposed to honor Kossuth with a serenade and torch light procession; but iong before the appointed hour, 10 o'clock, @ large crowd, principally Germans, had congregated about Broadway, opposite the Irving House, the saloon of which was also filled with enquiring spectators. From an early hour of the even: | ing, people kept flocking into the Irving House, in the | hope of secing or hearing something freeh of Kossuth; it | seemed as if the appetite was sharpened by what it fed | upon. But the lion of the day, the Hungarian ex-go- vernor, ramained in seclufion in his chamber, the stair case being jealously guarded by police, who prevented any cne from going up. As the appointed hour of serenade drew nearer. the crowd of spectaters increased. and before 10 ’clock P. M. the whole street in front of the Irving House was crowded with one denre mase, the ompibuses, and other vehicles, having considerable difficulty to pass slong Broadway. | ‘The pasceger,and even some cf the rooms above, were | also cccupied by other visiters than the usual resident® of the hotel, and 2 knot of esger enquirers clustered around the docrof the Hupgarian’s sanctum, awaiting an opportunity to peep into the room whenever the door by chance happened to be opened. About 9 o'clock, the Mayor took leave of Kossuth and an hour after, at the appointed time precisely, the torch light pro- cesrion made ite appearance, when a rush was immedi- ately made from the saloon of the Irving House to the cutside. The Turners preceded, bearing torches, and illuminated Broadway to # conriderable distance, both up and down, with ome meee of light. Cheers, and cries fer Kosruth echoed om every side. while cloute cf smoke eose upward, as if struggling for mas. tery with the light that caused them. ‘The bend struck up the “ Kossuth march,” #n original comporition by Mr. Fisher ; but it was impossitie to form an opinion as to its merits from the poise and con, fusion, Inthe meanwhile, Koseuth was delayed from presenting himself to the people by the arrival of a | various presidents and MH vee witnessed. who were having a spartment. During his absence, Me Lawrence attempt ed to quiet the crowd below, by explaining the eause of the delay ; but what he esid had but littleeffect. The cles for Koseuth were redoubled. An Hungarian also »ppeared im the balcony, and entreated the erowd to be quiet, and to show some respect to Kossuth, who was, he seid, unwell ; but his rhetoric did not appear to produce much effect. At lest, the ex-Governor of Hungary ap- peared on the baleony, and this was the signal for re- newed cheering, mixed with hisses. When silemce had been at last obtained, Kossuth addressed the people ine few brief words to the following effect :— KOSSUTH'S SPEECH FROM THE BALCONY. Gentlemen—I beg leave to express to you my mo: bumble thanks for your pre-ent appearance here to-night. aftef the demonstration that you have already made this dey, and which must prove highly beneficial to the fu. ture freedom of Europe I take this demonstration (cheers and hiseer) as an omen, showing that freemen will unite egainet the despote of the world (cheers ;) and that, by the unity of freemen, deepotiem will be | crushed for ever.

The reception of Kossuth by the city of New York yesterday, was a spestacle of the most imposing character. The day was exceedingly clear and sparkling, with a bracing norwester and a splendid tky. At this season of storms, and fogs, and clouds, and long drizzling rains from Cape Cod, the coincidence of the singularly beautiful weather yesterday, with the arrival of the great Magyar, was as extraordinary as it was delightful. It was the sun of Austerlitz! The scene on the Bay, on Castle Garden, on the Battery, in the Park, and for three miles along Proadway—the banners, and the arches, and the grand procession, the thunder of the cannon and the shouting, the whole moving panorama of the day, was something for the recollection of a life time. At two o'clock there were not less, probably, tham two hundred and fifty thousand people in and near Broadway. But our readers will find in the ample description furnished by our active corps of reporters, and published at length in this day’s Herap, the most conclusive evidence of the grandeur and enthusiasm of the whole affair, from sun to sun, and from twilight to midnight, includ- ing the torchl igh: procession and the excitement in front of the hotel. The moral effect of this pageant will be felt throughout this vast republic, throughout the con- tinent, and throughout Christendom. It is the first grand response of the people, the sovereign people— the free, independent, generous, and powerful people ofthe United States, to the principles of republi- capiem, of which Kossuth is the exponent and the champion. ‘bere appeared to be a genoral know- ledge in the multitude that the moral effect of this reception was destined to tell upom the popular mind across the Atlantic; and that Austria, Rus- «ia, and even France, would feel the weight of the rebuke against them of “the young giant of Ame- rica.” The movement, thus begun, will doubtless be followed up, and it is possible that the influenze of American enthusiasm may rebound with start- ling effect upon the slumbering elements of revolu tions in Europe. At all events, the arrival of Kossuth upon our g vores will mark a political epoch. A vast combi- nation of conflicting elements, and a wide range of events, comprehending the most formidable field of action between the people and the despot: since the world began, lie at the bottom of thie visit of the illustrious exile to eur country. Time alene can tell the results, for time can only develope the grand ides of universal freedom. In a few days we shal be more largely enlightened upon the objects and the prospects of the missien of Kossuth. For the present we refer our readers to our report of the opening jubilee Mint in Naw Yorx—Ripicviovs Ossections To 1t.—Among the ridiculous and absurd reasons urged against the establishment of a mint in New York, by the opponents of the moasure in Phila- delphia, are, that New York is the groat centre of exchanges, where balances are paid, prices regu lated, and whence coin and California gold are cir. culated throughout the whole world; that a mint in New York would be an engine in the hands of the London bankers; that the time is coming when the commercial and monetary eupremacy of Iing- land will be transferred to the United States, and have its centre in New York, instead of in London; and that New York is the great centralizing power on this continent. Was ever such trash and nonsense uttered? Why, the very reasons thus urged against a mint in New York, are the most potent in favor of the project. It is because New York is the centre of commerce and trade in this isphere, that a mint is needed most here. She has attained that posi- tion by her own energy, and she will keep it, whether Congress will authorize the establishment of a mint bere or not. Her position is impregnable, and cannot be assailed by any power, (ongressional orotherwise. As for Philadelphia, and other cities, they will remain as they are, morely suburbs, ap- perdages to New York—email planets revolving around the sun. The writer of this trash is incom- petent to rpeak on the subject of trade or com merce, when he assumes, as he docs, that Vongress can reguiate them, and provent New York from becoming the metropolis and great central and controlling power of the world in finance. By his argument, Congress ought, in order to preserve an equilibr! throughout the United States, pass a law that New York shall not have so mach foreign commerce as the has, or own so many ships, or have euch & large population as she has. Congress ought to go further ev mn this, for there are other ple ich are rising more rapidly than Phila deiphia. On the 30th of October last, there were, ‘m the harbor of San Francisco four hundred and fifty ships; on the 2d of December instant, there were, in Philadelphia, only ninety-four. Such a disproportion is not to be tolerated. In New York, on the 2%h of November, there were six bundred ard twelve vessels. Worse again. Indoel, next te New York, Sam Francisco has a larger commeree than any other,city in the United States, although it ie bat a place of yesterday. This i, not to be borne by our Philadelphia brethren, and Corgrese must be appealed to on the subject; and yet the enme writer advocates the necessity of a San I 1, which is becoming the een- rg and controlling point onthe Pacific, and oppores one in New York for a similar roason Cur siniable friends io Philadelphia have cither rot stadied political economy at all, or studied it to arpore.

Mr. Graham exer- ng the proesas apssion, , cised a very good discrimination in making his gifts. The greater part of his donations are, it will be por- ceived, to educational and benevolent institutions. The propriety of donating monoy to sovieties or in- stitutions strictly sectarian and religious, may, we think, well be questioned. Many of them are no better than institutions for the maintenance, in luxury, of a pareel of religious loafers, and worth- Jess bangers on to the Chureh, with black coats ang extravagantly white neckerchiefe, who do no goot in this world or in the other Lducational and be- nevolent societies, on the other hand, confer vast benefits on poor humanity here below, and fit man fer eternal rest and acceptance above. Increase or SavaRres ano Taxes—Wuar Next? —The present Common Council, before resigning the reins of power to their successors, appear to be determined to saddle the tax-payers of this city with another heavy draft on their pockets, by pro- poring an increase of salary to be paid to certain official officers and clerks. The preposition is out- rageous. The salary already paid these officials, Ward justices, and clerks, are ample and sufficient for the services readered, and, in many instances, - they are not worth the money they already pocket out of the city treasury. It is to be hoped that the tax-paying citisens will look to this, and enter their protest. The increase of these salaries will only make work for the noxt Board to cut down.
