Kossuth proceeded from Baltimore to Washing- ton yesterday morning, and was received by Sena- tors Shields and Seward, and a large crowd of people. After reaching his hotel, he had a private interview with Mr. Webster, who, it it is said, pro- mised to give him an introduction to the President to-day. The Magyar was then waited upon by the @emocratic Jackson Association, who, in their ad- dress, approved of the nen-intervention doctrines of their city’s guest, and invited him to partake of their hospitality on the 8th ef January—the anni- versary of the battle of Now Orleans. Kossuth’s response to this association will be read with great interest by all politicians, both native and foreign. In a very few words, he reviows affairs, generally, ia the Old and New World, draws his inferences, makes his comparisons, expresses his views, and re- minds them that he has nothing to do with party qnestions in this country. Upon the whole, it can- not be said that he has met with a unanimous and cordial welcome at the capital of the nation. The proceedings of the abolitionists and socialists in this city have materially injured him in the estimation ef many of eur Southern legislaters, and they wili stand aloof until they have an opportunity of understanding his principles more thoroughly, Considerable excitement was produced in the House of Representatives yesterday, by the move- ment for a committee to wait on Kossuth, and in- treduce him to that body. How the affair ended we cannot tell, for the telegraphic wires gave out in the midst of the debate. The dissension and cavilling ameng members of the lowor branch of Congress, may be considered as indicative ef the feeling of the people in the districts to which they belong, relative to the cause of the great Hungarian. But few of the Southern representatives are prepossessed in his favor— many do not approve of his non-intervention poliey, and others dislike the manner in which he has been courted and feasted by the New York abolitionists; and now that Kossuth has denied all sympathy for these pretended philanthropists, wo shall not be warprised to find that several of the Northern mem- bers aro opposed to himalso. However, all this wasting of time and the peoples’ money, in speoch- making, should be dispensed with at once. That he will be received by the House, there can be little doubt, and it is therefore useless to throw away any more time or breath upon the subject. ‘We understand that the drawing of the Ameri- ean Art Union lottery, which was deferred till this evening, has again been postponed till the names books of the institution. agement state that the expenses of the concern are vory heavy and the funds very light, and partly at- tribute the latter fact to the Kossuth excitement, which recently absorbed a large portion of the at- tention of our citizens, and abstracted, perhaps, Bome of the money from their pockets. In tho Board of Aldormon, last evening, the Bemination of Goorgo W. Matsell, Chief of Police, made by Mayor Kingsland to them for confirma- tion, came up again for consideration, The mat- Ser has been slumbering for some time past, and, ‘asthe functions of the present board expire with the present year, a bold push was made to remove Mr. Matec! from office. The resolution fer confir- mation was—on tho ayes and noee—lost, by a vote of eight to ton. It is doubtful whether the Mayor ‘will make any other nomination to this Board of Aldermen-five days, it seems, are allowed by law for that purpose; and, if the Mayor avails himself of that time, it will then carry the confirma- tion of s Chief of Police into the Board of Aldermen elect, which, if done, will be quite Proper, as we have no doubt but that the new Common Council are equally capable of judging for the welfare of the city as the present Board, whe have just been kicked out of offive by the popu- Jar voice of an outraged people. A resolution was concurred in from the Board of Assistants, dispensing with the advertising for con- tracts to pave Broadway with tho Kuss pavement, as Rus and Reed had « patent right for their mode of paving, and therefore no others could in- fringe on ther: rights. The Mayor will now, bo- onda doubt, sige the contract. It is the only @urable pavoment this city has ever been blessed With. It must be done. ‘The Board of Assistant Aldermen, last ovoning, ® resolution adhering to their former ac- find that of the other Board, for the re-build- fing of Washington Market, notwithstanding the voto of the Mayor. Srnanoz Attack on Mapame Jvtte pt Mar- evenitTes.—The Dry Book of last evening, insome gather unpolite comments on Mrs. Forrest and her gociety, contains a most violent attack upon the @haracter of Madame Julie do Marguorittes, the gathoress, who reeently furnished so many woll written and piquant articles on “ Art and Artiste,” Which appeared in the columns of the vory same Journal that assails ber. ‘When wo wore in London last summer, we made inquiry about this lady, and were informed that sho fis the eldest daughter of Doctor ‘iranville, a distin- guished physician in Piccadilly; that sho was highly educated on the Continent, and married @here to » gentioman of respectability and charac- ter, who is living bere with hor and their two young children. The gossip here, on which the at- tack is founded, springs from some affair which took place last summer, at Lebanon Springs, in which Mr. G. G. Foster and Mr. Chaties E. Loster aro very curiously involved. The best defence and ox- all round, would be 2 fall statement of the whole affair, with tho incidents and correspon- ence, from alpha to omega.

Louis Napoleon, who has such @ penchant toimitate his uncle in his career, assimilates to him algo in his implacable hatred towards the English aristocracy, and particularly the free press of Eng- land, and would willingly carry into execution the old project formed by him, of an invasion of that country. His expeditions to Strasburg and Bou- logne prove that he is capable of the wildest a+ tempts; but we must not regard such an one ag so chimerieal or impracticable as it may at first sight appear. Louis Napoleon, urged on and supported by his two despotic colleagues, (who have their own motives to subserve,) would readily find or create a casus belli, and could, with the poworful steam- marine of France, effect, from the old cam» of Bou- logne, a landing of a hundred thousand troops on the English coast, and by setting up the now-un- meaning claptraps of universal euffrage, and the ex- tinction of aristocracy, he would attract the masses of England, who would desert the standard of the British aristocracy, and not stand idly by as speo- tators; for notwithstanding that England is the only constitutional country in Europe—the only one where the freedom of the press is respected—yet itis undeniable that the millions are discontented and ripe for revolution, and would eagerly joia in any movement for the overthrow of the aristo- cratic system under which the people have so long suffered, fattening on the fruits of their labors, and denying them the exercise of the prerogatives of freemen. The Catholics of Knglend and Iroland might also be calculated on to lend their aid to the man who extinguished the fires of liberty in Rome, and reiostated the Holy Father on the Pontifical throne. With such powers at his disposal, direct and collateral, the result presaged may be looked upon as more than a probability, and may not be very far in the dim future. We are in the commence ment of a terrible future. Tue Forrest Divorce Casg.—This very extra- ordinary trial draws its slow length along, and will probably end somewhere in Anno Domino 1852. Curious documents, curious affidavits, and > - secrete tae te smetbin ois | curious developements of social, poetical, editorial, fifteen ousan The committee of man- | dramatic, end hospitable life, are coming to view. A very amusing letter, offered in evidence, written by Mrs. Forrest to Mr. James Lawson, gives us the interesting philosophical views which she en- tertained of the wonderful doctrines of Fourierism, and the sad immorality of the editor of the New Yorx Heratp, who doubted and disbelioved in those doctrines. Probably the best commentary on Mrs. Forrest's practical belief in Fourierism, and her horror at the immorality of the Herarn, may be found in the scenes of jelly association held in Sixteenth street, so graphically depicted by some of the other witnesses. This is » queer world—but no matter. The law reporter of the New Yorx Henrup is publishing, in pamphlet form, a copious report, and a daguerreotype like representation of the scenes in court. It will make # very interesting volumo, and be eagerly seught by all classes, from the codfish aristocracy down to the frequenters of the smallest theatre in town. Who is British Miviser to tue Unitsp States 1—Some time ago, Sir Henry Bulwer was the British Minister in this country, as we had rea- son to know, from the vast number of speeches ho was continually pouring out, and the enormous quantities of blarney he manufactured for the newspaper press. Since his return to England, it seems to be doubtful who is the British Minister here. There is a Mr. Crampton at Washington, who, the newspapers eaid, was loft in occupation when Sir Henry left ; but we rather think that the power of the British embassy is divided among the British Consuls all over the Union. It seems that the British Consul Mathews, of South Carolina, is at present the most efficient diplomatic reprosenta- tive of Her Majesty ; and he is making himsolf as busy, not in delivering speeches, bat in writing letters, as ever Sir Henry Bulwer was. We again ask, who is the authorized British Minister in this country—a country so fortunate as to have one! Traine yor THR Great Ract.—The magni- ficent General Houston, of Texas—one of the pro- minent candidates for the Presidency next fall—loft town yesteriay morning, on a temperance and cold water journey to Buffalo, and round about the country, for the holidays. Daring his brief visit here, he has been recetyod a} Tammany Hall with distinguished attention, and his principal competi- tor—little Douglas, of Illinois—has been completely forgotten. Even the whigs of this city were de- lighted to bid weloome to the hero of San Jacinto, and to liston with extacios to the capital stories and ancodotes that he can tell, with one of which ho demolished poor Foote, of Mississippi, before he returned to be inaugurated in the Southwost. General Houston will be in Washington again by the beginning or middle of noxt woek. In the meantime, the other candidates for the Presidency, in the Senate, must beware and tremble. Laren rrom tHe Rio Gnane.—The brig Oohansey, Capt. Binclair, arrived morning from Rio Grande, with dates to Nov. 2, by which we learn that the steam. or Don Pedro was to leave that port on the éth Nov,, with $500,009 on board, for the use of the Montevidean government, Gen. Urquiza was about te embark at Buenop Ayres, with the Brasilien feet, to atteck Gen. quite a contrast to Monday evening. ‘We would here take the opportunity of correcting an error into which the printer fell in yesterday’s critique: ‘We remarked that ‘the general absence of the sex seems strange enough, as they haveattended in great numbers the performances of other dancers not, superior in moral worth,” &c, The compositor made it, “but superior in moral worth;’’ just the reverse of what.we intended. We learn, upon good authority, that Mr. Edward Wil- lis is no longer connected with the fortunes of Lola Montee. Marine Affairs.

M. i The stock market was ali at loose ends to-dey. « Holders generally were anxious to realize, and the quan- tity offered depreciated prices materially. This move- ment has been made several times this season, but it has failed each time. We have frequentiy remarked: that it was easy enough to buy stocks, and easy enough to sustain prices. so long as most of the speculators were purchasers; but the moment there were more sellers in the market than buyers, there would be a break down. Our predictions would have been realized long before this, but for the tenacity with which operators for a rise held on to- their supplies. The time is coming when they must sell— when they must put their stocks on the market, and make the most ef them. We allude only to those stocks + which are held im such large blocks; those fancies in which speculation has been pretty active, and which arehypothe- cated inevery bank jin Wall street, with s limited margin inreserve. There were indications at the first board to-day, of s panic among holders of certain'fancies. Erie Rail- road declined 13, per cent; Erie bonds, 1868, 1{; Read- s ing Railroad, ¢; Hudson River Railroad, '<; Harlem, 34; é New Haven Railroad, 1; Norwich and Worcester, < New Jersey [Zine advanced %{ per cent; Canton Co, 24} Morris canal, <; Stovingtom, };. There were large transactions in Erie and Reading At the second board, there was 8 more depressed feeling, and holders made » further for the concessions. Erie Railroad fell off 34 per cent; Haslem, +; New Jersey Zrno, {; Reading railroad, 34. The bulls left the street to day in very poor spirits, with the prospect of a blue day to close up the year. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer o this port, to-day, amounted to $61,205 18; payments. $28,001 44—balance, $6,313 800 64 There has beens moderate demand for foreign ex- change, to-day, for remittance by the steamship Europa, on Wednesday.

Engagements had been mace for a much larger amount; but large sums have been withdrawn. ‘The New Haven (Conn.) Batk has declared a semi- annual dividend of four anda half per cent; the New Haven County Bank, five per cent; the Mechanics’ Bank of New Haven, two dollars fifty cents per share; the Boston and Lowell R. R. four ‘per cent, payable January 1; the Manchester and Lawrence R. R. three per cent on the common stock, and four per cent on the preferred, both payable January 5. The Chemical Bank has declared a semi-annual divi- dend of six, per cent, payable January 2; the Bank of Commerce, four per cent, payable January 6. ‘The interest due January 1, upon the mortgage bonds of the Cayuga and Susquehanne and Lackawanna and Western Railroad companies, will be paid on presenta- tion of the coupons st the office of the companies. ‘The navigation of the Obio river was open at Pitts- burg, yesterdey.

According to this statement, the eggregate revenue for the year ending June 90, 1851. is likely to be as large as the year previous, and the ex- Pendituree about the same proportion of the income. 15 will be seen that the public lands afford very little revenue, and we canact look for mush from that source, until the warrants issued to soldiers fre located. On the whole, the public finances are in a ‘very ratisfactory condition, and this fact alone is suff. clent to put down any argument advanced in favor of any change in the oommeroial pol cy of the government. Bo long aa we have a large public debt, #0 long mast we look closely to our revenue and previde ways and means to meet any demand upon the treasury.
