A deputation from Boston waited upon Governor Kos- euth last evening, consisting of Mr. Alderman Kimball, Councillors Henry J. Gardner, Edward 8. Irving, Biles Washman and Joseph Smith. Upon being introduced to the illustrious Magyar, by Mr. Howard, Mr. Alderman Kinane addressed him in the following terma:— Reercctxy Bin—My associates and myself have the Sis pea aly Se eae pi a iy ing your Ex sir, to ask you to the eopiel of the State forefathers first landed, after leaving to seeure religious liberty—to the city ww was struck for American freedom— to a city hallowed ite immediate vicinage to Bunker Concord, and to Lexington—to the house of John Hancock (Koseuth—Yes, oh yer, I remember, I remem- ber.) whose bold autograph on our immortal Declaration of Independence gives so graphic and truthful an im- press of the people who achieved our independence.

KOSSUTH’S REPLY. Grnviemen—I siucerely thank you forthe high honor upon me, of an invitation to the city of Boston. Gentis- men, I socept it in principle, but I am afraid that I sball be unable to do so practically. The steamer whicll has just arrived from Europe, has brought news of th proceedings there. which was not unexpected by m (and to the probability of which I have frequeatiy luded to my friends since I have been here),—aud as the next steamer mey bring such news as may require ~ immediate presence in Europe, I muet leave for ‘ashingten immediately, there to return my gratitude and thanks to the Congress of the United &: m.

Immediately after the speech to the whig commit:ee, on Saturday evening, a deputation of persons employed im the heuse of A. T. Stewart & Co. waited upon him, and one of them read the following address, handing the | Governor, at the same time, a purse, peatly tied with red, white, and green ribbons, containing two hundred and thiee gold dollars :— Govennon Kossutn—The accow; ing two hundred | and three id dollars are the Ltr bev inatiaen of two hundred and three persons employed in the house of A. T. Btewart & Vo. Many of those represented have given, or will give, more. individually, other ways; but in this united contribution, each was limited to one dollar, in order to avoid invidious distinctions, and to indicate approval of the “great doliar fund,” to be formed by dollar eubscripticns trom the masses, the mil- lions, of our country, who deeply sympathize in the cause of freedom.

Mr. Mathias’s Lecture. A lecture was delivered yesterday morning by the Rev. Mr. Mathias, at the Hall in Grand street, on “The Signs of the Times,” in relation to the present political #tate of the world, and the prospect of coming events. ‘The Rev. gentleman took for his text the 2d chap. Deniel, 44th verso—* And in the days of those kings shal! the God cf heaven ret up kingdom which shail never be destroyed—a kingdom which shall not ve left to other people, but which shall break im pieces and consume all thore kingdoms, and which shall stand forever.” He raid there had been uncertainty and mutation attending: allestablisbed kingdoms which had flourished in the world, They had all been founded upon ® doubtéul ba- vis, and the wisdom of men had been employed id con- structing them, and the judgment and power of men had been brought into requisition to retain them in their poriticn; but se prophecy had declared, and history re- vealed, this werld bad been soourged by kingdoms. They sad been an intolerance to men. Their history showed that mankixd bed not benefitted by them. The best of them had only served for a while; if they bad virtue at the commencement, they had degenerated. Pitty or thirty years would cuffice to corrupt any institution other tham the one,God had proposed to establish. ‘This made Martin Luther say that there ought to be e reformation every thirty years. Ie knew the tendency of mankind to degenerate. Man was weak and imperfect im all bis attributes, because of his transgression against Goa. They kpew the connection in which the text stood. with other matters. It was the last kingdom in the great: succession, There were the kingdoms oi guld. of silver, of brass, and Ehrns sat fos Lepr iAagpete be aaaiees ot the great rm and clay; when the king- doms of this world should be in a broken and fallen con- dition— standing on en ex: doubtful basis—the God of heaven was toset up akingdom. Nebuchadneszar— represented the Lead of gold, the Medes and Persians the eilver, the Grecians the brass, and the Homans and. subsequent nations the iron and the cley. The kingdon. of irop had seigned for a while, and bed been im the hands of royal honors, but they would degenerate, and come into the hands of men~ixnto the hands of ; for, in explanation, it was said “Whereas thou sawest the toes partly of iron and party of cisy, ko” The aristocracy, sconarcbs, and. ge would give their kingdoms to the seed of men, or they would mingle themselves with the seed 0. men. They would bave to do s0, because iron and an ee Botcleave. Now, any one could see the force of that prophecy, It taught us the tizae would come when the ides of # government vested in one maa, or ir a single house, would be disdained, and tha: the common. people would assume the sovereignty, and it would never afterwards be recovered. L[nspiration declared that the disaffection would be final and etermal; nod Christ sai that“ kingdom divided against iteelf could not stand.”? Bo when the kingdoms of this world should be in thie - redicament the God of heaven would establish his ingdom— same would stand forever, and not be tranrmitted from one house to soother. That kingdom w be one of gi and perpetuity.

They were mistaken, The Litle showed that nly. To prove the eachenticity ot the Bible, heb 4 to look to its internal evidence. It clear t the chapter from which be bad taken his text was written before the destruetion cf the Medes and Persians, ard that it was written in the days of Nebuchadnezzar, the existence of whom uo one, coula doubt. A man who would get rid of his infidelity need but to read that chapter, and compare the prophesy with the evente recorded in history. ‘The history cf the world, tince NebDuchadueszar was a etrikipg refiex of the pro- phecy.

There was @ declaration by the eportie Peter, which showed how geuei thie kingdom was believed in. The aportic that Chriet bad gone to beaven, where be would be until the time arrived for accomplisbing a1] the things rpoken by the prophets. The Rev. gentieman referred to various patsegee in eeripture to show the purity and eternity cf the final kingdom, and compared with it kingdoms established by human efforts, and entered at length into the subject of the happiness and purity that would exiet under the mew regime. in hoacr of Cirist’s Inauguration be would perform a crest act—he would arraign the common enemy of mavkind who had tri- umpbed over 160 generations—who bed arcended thrones and laid them in ashes. It was evident thet all previous Ringdoms bad not been set up by God, bat he had tole- rated them for wise ends. ‘The revolution which would ibject ef promise all | toke pisce to Europe, would (he contended) be carried into # frenay by red republicanism aud « deceptive pc- licy.
