The ad- ‘mission was by ticket, at five dollars to the reception, und three dollars additional fer the banquet. The hall was well filled, the larger majority being of the sterner ocx. ‘The back of the stage was decorated with the stripes and stars, the Union Jack, and the Hungarian tri-solor. ‘The ceiling presented a curious picture. Instead of a tri-color, stripes of four colors were drawn athwar: in the Yorm of @ cross--red, white, blue, and black. Among the members of the profession occupying the stags, were-- Judge Betts, Judge Paine, Judge Sandford, Judge Camp- bell, Judge Mason, B. ¥. Butler, Dr. Martin Paine, Judge MeCoun, George Wood, Jas. R. Whiting, Ogden Hoffman, John Van Buren, Judge Duer, Henry E. Davies, Jesse ‘Hoyt, Jas. Sandford, Ethan Allen. About half-past seven o'clock, the distinguished ‘Magyar entered upon the stage. conducted by ex: Justice Jones, amidst the most tremendous applause. He was -sccompanied by his secretary, Count Pulsski, Colonel Berzcenzey, and several members of his suite. When the applause subsided ex-Chief Justice Joves introduced ‘Kossuth as follows: — Genttemen or THe Ban—I am gratified in having the honor to present to you as our distinguished gusst, the illustrious Kossuth, In making this introduction, gentlemen, I am truly gratified in having it in my to add, that ho is the great civilian of his nativé , and one of the creme ong ce of the prof sion to which we belovg.

Judge Baxpronv then read the following address from the Bar :— Goveavor Kossurn—The Bar of New York, having par- tiel with their fellow citizens im extending to you cordial and enthusiastic welcome which greeted F spyder upon the shores of America, have solicited opportuni! ity to express Me ng a3 a member of the Profeesion, their re«pe: your great talents and -eminent attsinments, and their admiration for the ardor and enthusiasm with which you have devoted all your (powers and energies to the sacred cause of the emsnci- of your native land Enjoying all of freedom which is consistent with safety, as @ birth right, we feel a8 men & warm sympatby with those people of other lands who have endeav to establish the great basis of civil liberty, that all just powers of government are derived from the conrent of the geverned.

GentLemen--Highly as {I value the opportunity to meet the gentlemen of the Bar, I would have felt very much embarrassed to have to answer the address of that corporation before such # numerous and distinguished assembly, had you, sir, not relieved my well-founded anxiety by an anticipated just appreciation of the diffi- culties 1 am surrounded with, and which, of course, make it entirely impossible for me to answer any expec- tation of all, and especialy such expectations as such an‘intelligent meeting would be entitled to entertain. > But you, sir, have paved my way ; let me hope, that in acknowledging the difficulties of my position, you were the interpreter of this disinguished assembly’s equa- nimity and indulgence, which, I respectfully beg,may not be refused to me when I end--having been promised before I began. Gentlemen of the Bar, you have the noble task te be the first interpreters of the law; to make it sub- servient to justice; to maintain its eternal principles principles to life, whenever they become obliterated by misunderstanding or by violence. When darkness is cast upon the light of truth, then we are told by an old Roman : “ Veniet de plebe togata Qui juris nodes ot logum eplgrammete solvat.”? Let me in that respect, briefly state my opinion about the system Of codification, as opposite to customarylaw. You have a great authority for codification—Livingston ; and really it may be presumptuous to state an opinion con- trary to his—still I confess I am no friend of codification. (Laughter and applause.) Iam no friend of it, because Tam a friend of free, unarrested progress. And a code arrests progress. It is an iron hand, which hinders the circulation of intelligence, and fetters its develope- ment, which freely must go on toward boundless perfec- tion—the destiny of humanity. (App'ause.) You know what a thick shadow was cast over centuries, upon the field of justice, by the code of Justinian; and how, even Jet, whcle enlightened nations are laboring within ite iron grasp. My opinion is, that law must hold pace in its developement with the developement of institutions | pave and intelligence; but, until this, law is and must bean | his word object of continual progress, Justice is immortal, eter- pal, and immutable, like God himeelf, And the pro- | Dterval, grees in the developement of law is only then a progress, | in the position to carry out that p1 applause.) I confident (Renewed iaughter. trust that his honorable colleagues, ay principles of es accidental Tttey. policy subservient to justice, justice to the wavering claims of support thei sion, te carry out y out—but how? when it is directed towards those immortal principles of justice which are eternal, like God himself; and when- | anq I confidently ever prejudice or error succeeds in establishing what- | the ever doctrine in customary law which is contrary to | be, the eternal principles of justice. it is ome of your noblest | te cperogchment duties, gentlemen, to avail yourselves of the privilege of not having a written code to fetter justice within the bonds of error and prejudice (applause ;) it is one of ycur noblest duties to apply principles, to show that an upjust custom is a corrupt practice, an abuse; and by showing this to originate that change, or rather develope- ment in the unwritten, customary law, which is necessary to make it protect justice, instead of opposing and viola- ting it. (Applause.) Ifthis be your noble vocation in respect to the private laws of your country, let me en- treat, you, gentlemen, to extend it to that public law which, regulating the mutual duties of nations towards each other, rules the destinies of humanity. (Ap- plause.) You know that upon this field, where rests no ecde but that of mature and of nature’s God, which your forefathers invoked when they raised the eolo- vies of England to the noble rank ef s free nation and an independent power on earth—you know that in that eternal code there are not written pettifog- ging subtleties, but only everlasting principles: everlasting, like those by which the world is ruled by God. You know that when artificial cunning of ambi_ tious oppressors succeeds to distort those principles into Prastice contrary to them, and when passive indifference or thoughtlessness submits to that above, as weaknes must submit, it is the noble destiny—let me say, duty— of enlightened nations, alike pcwerfal as free, to restore those eternal principles to practical value, that justice, right, and truth mag sway, where injustice, oppression and error prevailed. (Applause.) Raise high with manly hands the biasing torch of truth upon the dark field of arbitrary prejudice. Become the cham- pions of principles, and your people will become the Somer cere tate trees? ened the eyes of my soul; and had it even not done so, still would dare say. know how to read your peoples’ heart.

(Applause) I hed the honor, on a former occasion, these humble wishes to state; each of them connected with one principt» of the law of nations, which you are called to ae, and ne people to defend. ‘The first was that the United tates may be pleased to protect the sovereign right of nations to dispose ef their own domestic concerns against the encroaching interference of foreign powers. (Ap- laure) A gentleman who came to honor ‘ith the invitation of Oircinuati—that risiog wonder of the West—has, yesterday, with that sublime eloquence which speaks volumes in one word, qualified that interference to be a piracy.

I want no more to discuss about the principle in that respect. There can be no doubt about what is lawful, what is daty, against piracy. I have but to make a few remarks about two objec. tions which I am told I will have to contend with The firet is, that it is « leading. principle of the United States not to interfere with European nations; and that, therefore. you will not do it. I suppose that you were pleased to become aciuainted with what I had the honor to tay on a certain occasion that respect — stating pragmatically that the United States had never entertained or confessed such a principle; and thet, had it even done so, the United States had abandoned it, and were obliged to abandon it, because it could have been no principle, but a matter of temporary policy, the MORNING EDITION--~-SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1 851. like s dream, all my ho and respect for the bandful of brave forsaken. alone. to fight immense batue for humanity; when I saw Rassign diplomacy steal- ing. like secret poison, into our ton into them; then | saw a world shoulders, a heavier lous Atlas of old had to 4 me not look back—it is all in vain,” my word, and T , because I know that there ig yet s God in i. ae introducing trea- oares and sorrows ¢ them respected by others towards ; rest! and always interest!

Governor Kossuth having cormcluded, this branch of the exercises of gthe evening was ended, and the members of the Bar, preceded by Kossuth, proceeded to the saloon, to partake of the dinner. THE BANQUET. After the address was delivered, it was announced that thosejwho had tickets for the supper should remain Shortly after, those who were thus provided were shown to the basement,which was set apart as the banquet room. The decorations were exceedingly beautiful. The walls of the entire room were hang with the flags of the United States, of Hungary, Tarkey, and England, in alternate folds. The double row of columns extending through wreathed with stripes of the Hungarian tricolor. The head table, which was raised. was canopied with the flags of the nations we have al- ready mentioned, surmounted by spread eagles. Figures of Justice and Liberty contributed to the general effect, and altogether the decorations did great credit to those who bad charge cf thet department.
