The colors of Hungary floated from the centre flag: staff, fanked by the stars and stripes from those on either side, The portico ever the main entrance, was decorated with festoons of the Hungarian tri-color, Triumphal arehes were erected at both on- trances, and elaborately and tastefully bedecked. The pele erected in front of the Hall of Records, was rendered available for the display of banners, reaching from that pont to the opposite side of City Hall square—a rope being attached from the one to the other, bearing the dags of Mungary, the United States, Bngland, and Tur- key. During the formation of the procession, the banners a!- ceady described, on whieh the words Kossuth,” “@rati- tude,” and “Intervention,” were 80 conspicuous, were borne around, and attracted « great deal of attention. ‘The cheering, as Kossuth passed through the arch, though very great) was not so much so as might have been expected. This may be observed of the entire scene on the Battery, and it was doubtless owing, as we before stated, to the fact that the great body of the crowd did nct know which was his carriage. ‘The portraits we have seen of him certainly do not do bim justice, To @ highly intellectual countenance Lhere is an expression of blandness and amiability calcu- nated to prepossess all, independently of the determina- tion #0 generally pre-formed to admire him [is drese wee dark, end totally undecorated, and be wore « Tungerian bat. with a single black feather THE REVIEW IN THE PARK When Kossuth arrived in the Park, be was conijucted to the gorgeous tri-color canopy placed on the steps of the City Hall. and there he took his position side by side with the Mayor. while General Sandford and statf sur- rounded bim,cn either side, om horseback, and Major Hegadorn end staff, of Staten Inland, acted as a guard of honer, together with Koenuth's personal staf. A dense srowd occupied the steps behind, while the balcony over- head was filled with ladies and gentlemen. The Park was filled with human beings, and it required all the ortions of the police and military to keep back the m ‘ttude, ead prevent their breaking by their pressure, the chains which enclosed the vacant square in front of Komuth, The trees seemed alive with boys, on every branch. Burrounded by this vast mass of human beings. the noble exile of Hungary reviewed the troops, brigade after Wigade, regiment after regiment, and com- pany after company, as they passed before him. The time Occupied for the review was about en hour and a balf. Never did « finer exbibition of citizen soldiery gratify the eye of statesman or warrior, Kossuth was ovidently delighted Satiefaction beamed in his large blue, intelligent eye, and the thought seemed to flash from it, “How happy aud free must be the country, whose rights and liberties are defended by the voluntes: arms of such citiren soldiery '' He expressed, in words. ‘dis admiration of their marching, their bearing. and their whole appearance, Pulaski clapped his hands with Aelight, and all the staif seemed equally pleased. General Sandford announced the numoer of each regiment as it passed; and when the Ninth or Irish Regiment, wearing the green, which is one of the three colors the Hungarian tricolor came up, Kossuth inquired of what nation they were, aud passed « warm eulogy upon them. Nor washe sione im that prates General Sandford also expressed his admiration of their marching, and sald he nev: anything to equal the improvement they had made toring the rhort (ime that hed ciapsed since the corps was formed The & venth Regiment was also particularly noticed for ita steady, soldier-like, disciplined trend Innivg the review, the impatient multitude broke threngh the chaias, aod a scene of terrible isomer fr fome time provailed, threatening to laraire everytaing the crowd in Broadway expeeted to find him pass out in front. We have even displays for various presidents and warriors, but the equal of this we have never witnessed. THE DINNER, AND THE SPEECH FROM THE BALCONY OF THB IRVING HOUSE. Kossuth dined privately at the Irving Houas, there being present only Madame Kossuth, Pulzky and Madame Pulssky, and the remainder of Kossuth’s suite, together with Col, Berzconscy and the Mayor and Aldermen Franklin and Miller, ‘There having been a general expectation that Koasuth would epeak from the balcony of the City Hall, which was indicated by loud shouts for him from the multi- tude, and being disappointed in that expectation, they proceeded to the Irving House, and blocked up Broad- way during the time he was at dinner. They kept shouting, and seemed as if they would break into the Irving House. At length, in compliance with the urgent request of his friends, he appeared upon the baicony, end was received with vehement cheering. He ssid— Allow me to express my gratitude for the hearty wel- come you have given me this day. I tried to express it at the entrance to your glorious city et the Gastle Gar- den, but your warm hearts gave vent to your feelings louder than my words, which prevented me from speak- ing, and you from hearing. I feel much fatigue after the exeiting eoenés of the day, and now allow me to bid you good night. Kossuth then retired amidst tremendous cheering. and the people being satisfied, separated, with the excep- tion of » small number who still hung about the Irving House. It wos necessary to call in the police to keep them from rushing up stairs. TORCH LIGHT PROCESSION—-INTENDED SERE- NADE TO KOSSUTH—ANOTHER SPEECH FROM THE MAGYAR—SATURDAY NIGATS SATUB- NALIA. During the day it became generally known through our metropolis that the German Glee Clubs, attended by the Turser Society, proposed to honor Kossuth with a serenade and torch light procession; but long before the appointed hour, 10 o'clock, a large crowd, principally Germans, had comgregated about Broadway, oppesite the Irving House, the saloon of which was also Glled with enquiring spectators. From an early hour of the sven. ing, people kept flocking into tbe Irving House, in the hope of seeing or hearing something fresh 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 seclusion in his chamber, the stair- case being jealously guarded by police, who pravented any one from going up. As the appointed hour of serenade drew nearer the crowd of spectators increased, and before 10 o'clock P. M. the whole street in front of the Irving House was crowded with one dense mass, the omnibuses, and other vehicles, having considerable difficulty to pass along Broadway. ‘The passages, and even some of the rooms above, were also occupied by other visiters than the usual resideats of the hotel, and a knot of eager enquirers elustered around the door of the Hungarian’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- cession made its appearance, when s rush was immodi- ately made from the saloon of the Irving House to the outside. The Turners preceded, bearing torches, and illuminated Broadway to a considerable distance, both up and down, with one mass of light. Qheers, and cries fer Kossuth echoed on every side, while clouds of smoke rose upward, as if struggling for mas- tery with the light that caused them. ‘The band struck up the “ Kossuth march,” an original composition by Mr. Fisher; but it was impossible to form an opinion as to ite merits from the noise and con- fusion. Im the meanwhile, Kossuth was delayed from presenting himself to the people by the arrival ofa deputation from the German population of Philadeiphia, who were having a private interview with him in his apertment. During his absence, Me. Lawrence attempt- ed to quiet the crowd below, by explaining the eause of the delay ; but what he eaid had but little effect. The cries for Kosruth were redoubled. An Hungarian also appeared im the balcony, and entreated the crowd 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 last, the ex-Governor of Hungary ap- peared on the balcony, and this was the signal for re- newed cheering, mixed with hisses. When silence had been at last obtained, Kossuth addressed the peopie ina few brief words to the following effect :-— KOSSUTH’S SPEECH FROM THE BALCONY. Gentlemen—I beg leave to express to you my most humble thanks for your present appearance here to-night after the demonstration that you have already made this day, and which must prove highly beneficial to the fu- ture freedom of Europe. I take this demonstration (cheers and hisses) as an omen, showing that freemen will unite egainst the despots of the world (cheers ;) and that, by the unity of freemen, despotism will be crushed for ever. (Cheors.) Excuse me for not saying more, because, before the voice of the people, like the thunder of heaven, the voice ef a single individual must bow. (Cheers.) Kossuth, then, in the midst of cheering, made s speedy exit. By this time many of the torches were extinguished, and a scene of indercribable confusion presented iteclf. Cheers and hisses were mingled with laughter and shouts, whistling, fighting, and all kinds of noises proceeded from the crowd, who were swayed about like the waves of the ocean, to which only 1t could be compared. Add to this the darkness—for nearly all the torches were out—and # scene of satainalie presented itself that New York hardly ever exhii ited before. The music now moved off, the band playing “ Hail Cclumbia ;” and the serenaders defiled through the Park and down Chatham street to the Shakespeare Hote,, guarded ou either side by.the Turners, who were there in considerable numbers ‘The Governor of Hungary retired to bed at 11 o'clock, very much fatigued. As soon ashe left his parlor for that purpose, a number of people went in, but they were disappointed in not seeing him. INCIDENTS AND MOVEMENTS. Among the Italians present at Staten Island, was Mr. Forest, to whom Kossuth brought letters from Mazrini When he was presented to the ex-Governor of Hungary, the latter sald to him with great cordiality, in French language — “Ab! Lknow you already asa true European democracy, to which we are ‘The members of the Bar are requested to meet in the Law Library, this day, Monday, 8th instant, at three o'clock, P.

AAA . During the ceremonies the which was given to Koesuth by the people of Staten Trlsnd, an address by the Germans of New York was read to hia. ‘The following is translation of his answer :— KOMUTH'S RUELY TOA GERMAN ADDN SS. I sm happy that I can address you in th» lauguage by which I was introduced to the treasures of European civitization. I am bappy to receive an address of the Germans, because I know the importance of Germany. I fully appreciate the tink which unites the freedom of Germany tothe freedom of Hungary. But I cannot re- frain from remarking that I eannot agree with one sen- timent expressed in your address. No people should ever offer iteelf to die for » mam. Such « sacrifice shouid only be for principle. Among the exhibitions of the Kossuth reception, was the illumination of the Kossuth House, corner of Chris- topber and Hudson streets, on Saturday evening. The inecription on a banner bang across the street was— : WELCOME, KOBBUTE, 8 _ To tae Lamp or tHe " THE CLOSE. ‘The appearance of our citizen soldiers was such as every Amerioan may feel justly proud of; and the ‘whole affair was fiighty creditable and satisfac. tory, as @ proof that multitudes of people may moet for s universal demonstration in faver of liberty, with- out exciting any epprehension in the breast of the ‘mont timid stickier for law and order. Thus closed the greatest demonstration ever given toany mam in thi great metropolis of the United States. KOSSUTH’S VISITS TO OTHER CITIES. BROOKLYN, Governor Kossuth was waited upon on Saturday, by gentleman of this city, on the part of the Corporation, to ascertain on what day be could make it convenient to visit Brooklyn. His answer was, substantially, that he was cow in the bands of the New York committee, and was,as yet, unaware of the precise mature of the ar- rangemente they had made for him to fulfil. He would be occupied, however, during the coming week, and could, consequently, make no definite engagement, but would certainly visit Brooklyn—probably during the week following, although he could not, as yet, designate the day. ‘The committee of the Common Council on the subject of arranging for the reception of Kessuth in were to have met on Saturday night, at the City Hall; but up to balf-past nine o'clock, but two of the committee had asscmbled— consequently, nething was transacted. It is understood, however, that the reception will be ar- ranged for Wednesday or Thursday of week after next. NEW HAVER, A committee from New Haven, Conn., was also present atthe same time, and extended to him an invitation to visit that place, on Monday week next; but, asin the case of Brooklyn, he was unable to give them « deflaite answer as to the time he could accept of their hospitality. He would inform them, however, sometime previous to the day on which he should hereafter determine to visit them PHILADELEMEA We understand that « deputation from Philadelphia waited upon the distinguished Magyar, on Saturday eve- ning, and invited him to visit that city. where they pro- mised him a reception equal to that which he had met with in New York, Kossuth’s reply was, we further learn, unsatisfactory to the deputation. He said that it was uncertain whether he should visit Philadelphia at all, and bis stay in this country was altogether a matter of uncertainty. He expresses himself more in favor of ection than in promises, and is anxious to see whether there is really any intention by the American people of aiding Hungary. ‘The Kossuth Feeling Elsewhere.

Bacrimonr, Dee. 6, 1851. The aaacuacemeat, by telegraph. yesterday morning. of the arrival of Kossuth, caused quite a sensation of pleasure to thrill through our community, and a num- ber of the members of the committee appointed te in- vite him to the city immediately started off in the cars, abcut to depart NBW JERSEY. If say ching more were needed than the complete ab- sorption of the daily press,in every sort of intelligence concerning Kossuth, it might be furnished by the ferry boats across the Hudson andthe New Jersey Railroad. There is, to-day, a continued procession from the interior of our Btate to the metropolis, of the military, civilians, and women. If there were any effectual means of bring. ing them to bear upom the Russian Bear, Kossuth's ends would be answered without another spesch. So says the Newark Alvertioe of Batarday JERSEY CITY Wo notice, says the Jersey City Sentinel, of Saturday, that ell the vessels in our harbor are dressed out in ex- cellent style, with American ensigns and private flags. all in honor of the distinguished visiter. Several military companies passed over the ferry this merning to join in the parade ia honor of the ilustrious statesman and orator, Korsut Citizens have planted guns along our shores, and will give the illustrious Hungarian hero a salute simultane ous with those fired from New York aud Brooklyn. Some infsmous rascals, during last night, filled the cannons with dirt and brick, that were to be fired to-day im honor of Kossuth.

KOSSUTH AND THE HISTORY OF THE MAGY ARS. TOA TOUNG GENTLEMAN AT BOARDING ACHOOL IN #ramPoRD, conmecticvT. New Yorx, Dec. 6, 1851. My Dras Sow:—You will be anxious to have from me, some account of the reception of Kossuth in this city. which event has just taken piace, and has awakened the greatest emthusiasm among ail classes, native as well as adopted citizens, This celebrated Hungarian arrived in America at one o'clock on Friday morning (yeuterday}, in the steamship Humboldt from 8 >utbampton, Kugland. By previous arrangement he landed at Staten Island, where he was received by Doctor Doane, the Health Offi. cor, et Qanrantine, and at his house he was entertained of the citizens of Btaten Island. The particulars you have probaly read in the Hxastn of this morning. Referring you to the same paper, of other dates, which I shall eend, for the particulars of Komuth’s grand recep- tion in thiscity, I wish to call your attention to some pointe of interest which 1 wish to impress upon your memory, marking this affair asa great,historical event, to which you may have occasion to refer in after years.

La tagade du City Hall était litteralement couverte de fears et de buis, et des drape- ries aux couleurs hongrolses suspendues gracieusement sur toute ea surface, ctaient dominées par trois immenses drapeaux, Hongroi, Américain et de I'Rtat. Aux deux portes du parc, deux azes de triomphe, orpdés aussi de couleurs hongroises entrelacées avee celles de L' Ame rique produiraient le plus charmant effet.

Hungary, you know, is ons of the most eastern divisions of Europe, bordering on Tur. key, communicating with the Black Sea by the river Danube, and forming « most important part of the Austri- an empire The entire dominions of that empire contain 268,000 rquare miles, and nearly 38 millions of tnhabi- tants, of which Hungary is in the proportion of about one third of the whole aggregate—baving an area of 88,000 square miles and cleven millions of inhabitants Compare this with Great Britain, and you will find Hun. gary nearly the same, as to surface—that island (embrac- ing England, Scotland, and Wales) containing 89,000 square miles, which is more than twice the aren of the State of New York. A comparison of Hun- gary with the United States, as to population, will sbow you that the Hungarians are, in numbers, more than balf those of the whites of this country, according to the census of 1850, ‘Who the original inhabitants of Hungary were is un- known. The first account we have, is, that the Many svttled there im the fourth century of the Chriistian era, und gave it their own name; for, before that time, it was a part of the ancient Pannonia, a province of the toman empire. The primitive country ofthe Huns, those war.

After the death of Attila inthe year 462, the original Huns dispersed, by degrees, amoug other nations, but, doubtless, many of the modern Hungarians are their descendents. More than five millions of the Present population belong tothe Sclavontc family or tribe, about four millions are Magyars, and the remainder consiste chiefly of Germans, immigrated into Muagacy since the twelfth century of the Christian era. You should observe, with regard to the origin of the people of Europe, that they form three great divisions, viz -— the Celtic, Gothic, Teutonic, or Germanic, and the Scla vonic races. To the great family of the Bolavontans be. long the Russians, Poles, Servians, Bulgarians, Croats, Bobemians, Sclavouians proper, and a portion of the Hua- garians. as above mentioned.
