eee ‘The Lest Mether and the Lost Boy Feund— Anether Bit ef Romantic Reality. On Saturday morning last, at about ten o'elock, a boy ‘of fourteen years, email, but “smart” for one of his age, eahed at the counting-room of the Haasp office, and here, on Friday morning last, several boys who had volunteered to carry his trunk, disappeared with it, while they sent him into a house to ask if a certain man lived there, Without his baggage, and scantily clad, the bey wandered about till might, and then found shelter im an uninhabited house, He con- tinued hie explorations on Saturday, having eaten nothing, he says, to speak of for three days. On that morning. after his appearance at this offer, four of the young lads attached thereto, Jacob Cohea, John N. Wollmer, Thomas H. Bunting, and Charles Vider, upon hearing the above marrative from the poor farmer boy, re- solved to meet the crisis like good fellows; and they did. ‘They procured the young stranger first, as the prime ne- eonsity, something to stay his stomach; when night eame, they got hima enug berth ina boarding house, and o ebange of linen. They till had him in charge on Sundsy and op Monday, until about two o,cleck, when, having Deen rent out to inquire after a situation, the boy retern- ed to the Henao offtee, entering at one door while hia mether was enterimg at ancther, face to face, ‘The scene may be gueswed by the reader, The mother. @ fine looking woman, io black, was almost frantic. The boy was delighted, but remarkably self-pos- sessed. Their mutual explanations ceeupied some time; and then they went their way rejoicing. The mother, we understand, had been compelied, as a widew, to part with this boy to some friend in the West, who had yolun- teered to adopt him and educate him as his own, In view of this arrangement, the meeting with the lad, un- der the circumstances detailed, was rather calculated to exeite her feelings. Sheis now the wite of an industrious rbipearpenter, and is able to keep the enterprising lad at home, who wil doubtless soon be able to shift for himself. The most beautiful feature of this fragment of Milton im eéarch of his mother is yet to be told. Searcely had they left this office, when a carriage, with four ladies in- aide, drove up and halted at the door. One of the ladies then eame out, and placed in our hands the following note, with an balf eagle in gold enclosed :— To J. vortisement was pasted in 4 for Milton Clot, t jentioned, to aid him in . One whose tender me: a th of a mo ‘The five dollars thus received was paid over to Milton Choot on calling at the elerk’sdesk at our office yesterday. A @istinguihed sculptor also called during the day, to ray that if the boy Milton ehotld not find his mother, he would take him and make an artist of him, and a chip of the old block by adoption. Let Milton be thankful for the good genius that sont him to advertise ‘in the Tera. ‘There is more-of practical’ life, and ita poetry. pathos, and romance in-our advertising colums, than in all other ey ents of our paper combined. And the case of Milton Cloot shows that our advertisements are read with ‘the key to their true interpretation. City Intelligence.

Minitary Diseray.—In.eonsequence of the unpleasant state of the weather on Monday, 19th inst., the celebra- tion of the anniversary of the battle of Cherubuseo, by the Baxter Guard was postponed, Yesterday, accord- ingly they mustered in great force, and presented a fine military appearance. ‘They also paraded several com: panies of the first, second. and third regiments of ‘ew York Volunteers, numbering nearly four hundred. They marched up the Bowery to Waverley Place. where they went through a number of their military exercises, attracting a large crowd of spectators. The Baxter Guard, ‘a finely drilled corps.was under the command of Major Garrett Dyekman, who fought so gallantly in the late Mexi- ean war, where the gallant and brave Baxter fell, The major still carries in his right shoalder a bullet. which he reocived on that memorable day. There were about seven anies besides the Baxter Guard; they marched from erley Place to Sixth avenue. to Hudson street, to Canal street. to Reoadway. to the Park. aud thence to Centre Market, where they dispersed.

Lowerrie, @ varnish manufeciurer, iu Forty-fourth street, whose private residence was in Ube same neighbor- hood. The was a young [rituman, between nineteen and poo age years of age. and resided in the house of a Mr. Dennix. The transaction occurred on the night of March 7, 1892, a bright moonlight night. Kel- ter was out on that night in compauy with a Mr. Dillon, and on his way home, he tore oif a board from the fenee ofthe premises of Mr. Lowerrie. A -person came up with | ® gun and told him to throw down that board, and he did so and retreated, followed by the man with the gun, ho spoke in broken English, and was evidently a rman, The deceased had a jack knife in his hand; the person whe cai gun said “PH Khoot you;” and Kelter said “If you do, Tl stab you,” and Uereupon the gun was discharged; the deceased ‘partly | fell, and the man who fired the gun ran off. erying “boss,” ‘bors; Mr. Lowerrie came up shoctly after Ube transac tion, and in a conversation with some parties, he (Low- errie) said there was no bal! in the gun, and admitved at the time that it was his man Roter who fired th» shot; the deceased, before he died positively pointed ous Roter an the man who discharged the gun; but he, the District Attorney, fearing the declaration of the deceased might be objected to on trial, eaumed an anti mortem examination to be held before the Coroner in the presence of Kelter. when lying on his deathbed; Kelter there point officer Davie twice from amongst several other perso the man who fired the shot, but after the administration of wome stimulants, the deceased being then in a very exhausted state, he said the person whe fired the ¢ was not there (though Roter was present), and the a mortem examination proceeded. merely t deporitions as to the fact, without his id the accused. After some furthet detail. the District At- torney raid the question would simply resolve itselfinto one of identity, The deceased was committing a trespass when he was shot, and not a felony, A man has no right wan- tonly to take the life of another when the law provides & punihinent for the offence. Ifa man breaks into your houre at night, you are warranted im shooting bim; but if he fails in the attempt, and you shoot the law charges you with ughter; but the firiug of a loaded Weapon on a person in the act of a simple trespass, is, in the eye of God and man, murder, Men's lives are not to Ve sported with in thie manner, and saeriticed for a mere act oftrespare. If the prisoner is not the man. he ought to beucquitted. If the prisoner is the man. he, the Dis- trict Attorney. Knows no cireumstance in the case that takes it ont of the eategory of murder.

Witness continued.—I considered the wounded man in a very critical condition; I asked him if he thought that he was about to die; he said he hoped to live; I then re- marked, “then you do not think you are about to die?” and he answered, that he hoped to live; he did not state anything. in relation to life or death, beyond a hope that he should not die; from the critical ition in which he was, I'did not like to express to him that I thought he was about to die; I did not hear the prisoner say any- thing; he stood there until I desired the officer to take him away; Kelter was sworn to his examination, and, it is my impression, in the presence of the prisoner. ‘The investigation was protgacted to a late hour, The wound and death of Kelter'Were proved, but there not ‘being sufficient identification of the prisoner—Mr, Lower- rie’s son having distinctly shown that Roter was not the man who was seen running with the gun in his hand, pur- sued by Dennis—the Court thought it would be a useless consumption of time to go onwith the case. Counsel would, however, pursue their own course, The District Attorney admitted that it would be very unsafe for the jury to convict in this case; but he did hope that it would have been shown conclusively, by the defence, that Roter was not the man. The Court eaid they would then direct the jury that there was not sufficient evidence to convict, There were surpicious circumstances in the caso, but there were nu- merous hypotheses consistent with the innocence of the prisoner, The Court were of opinion that the jury ought to acquit, but they would decide upon the evidence fore them. ‘Thejury then acquitted the prisoner, without leaving their seats. The District Atterney then moved that Jacob Roter be recognized in the sum of $5.000, to appear as a witness, im order to ascertain who was the man who fired the shot. Mr. Phillips resisted the application, as there was no specific charge againtt any party for which to recognise Koter to appear, The Court did not think they had any power to recog- nise a party to appear asa witness, where there was no person charged. ‘The Court, however, thonght this was a case which should certainly undergo fartl investiga- tion. The District Attorney said there were circumstances which rendered ‘it necessary that this case should be probed to the bottom; and he would do so, God willing. no matter who it touched. He refused ‘to enter a nolle prosequi as against Mr, Lowerrie, ‘The prisoner Roter was discharged. ‘The indictment against Mr. Lowertie, as an aceessory after the'fact. falls to the ground, by the acquittal of Ro- ter.and he waa consequently discharged from his recog- nivance.

PROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER. Noxtnampron, Mase., April 24, 1852. The display here for Kossuth, though the city only numbers abeut 5,000 inhabitants, was greater than in Springfield. The same difference was remarkable in the ease of Jenny Lind, who succeeded far better here than she did in that city. Though the prices were $4, $3, and $2, and the night was very stormy, the same old church in which Kossuth spoke this afternoon, was densely filled by her, while there were crowds outside the windows, with umbrellas over their heads, listening as well as they could to the music within. Tho receipts for her notes amounted to between $4,000 and $5,000, which was eight or ten times as much as Kossuth got for his notes. No doubt Jenny, who was present at the delivery of Kossuth’s speech, was flattered at the idea that, measured by “the almighty dollar,” she was a greater attraction than Kossuth. The following placard has been posted all over this city for the last two or three days:— GOV. KOSSUTH: The great Hungarian leader and the world renowned orator, will visit Northampton, on Satunpay, Arnu. 24, And will address a meeting of the holders of HUNGARIAN BONDS, AT THE EDWARDS CHURCH, At 3 o’cloek P. M. Hungarian Scrip, of the denomination of one dollar ‘and upwards, may be obtained at the store of Hop- kins, Bridgman & Co., on Saturday. Any not holding bonds will be admitted to the address. and will also re- eeive a bond, by the Lis-4s pid of one dollar at the door, All who sympathize with the oppressed, and hope for the day when liberty shall triumph, and Hungary be free, are invited to invest in this gerioue fund, All money received for these bonds will be placed at the dir] | of Gov. Kos- suth, to secure the great object of his mission to the United States, viz, the freedom of his fatherland. Tis Exeellency, Gov. Boutwell, has ordered the Northampton Artillery to fire a salute of fifteen gums, on the arrival of Gov. Kossuth, ERASTUS HOPKINS JOHN W. WILSON. WM. CLARK. WM. A. HAWLEY, WM. BOLES, Nortiamron, April 22, 1852. The meeting was not held in the Edwards Chureh, but in the old Congregational Church, which was erected a platform, with chairs placed for ‘** the select men” and the committee. On arrival from Sprin; field, by special train, at the depot, at three r) Klock, Kossuth was greeted by a large crowd, and a salute of fifteen guns was fired. He was then driven in a carriago to the house of Mr. Erastus Hopkins, member of the Massachusetts Legislature. Shortly after, a procession was formed to the church, including the Torrent Fire Company, who looked re- markably well in their handsome uniform, and two companies of military, the Aorne nen Artillery, Captain Fair, Seareny C., and the Amherst Artil- lery, Captain Dickenson—the former cammanded by Col. Hanks, and the latter by Major Conkey. Northam ton Band, also added éclat to the oc- easion. Before Kossuth’s arrival at the church, only those were admitted who purchased the Hunga- rian scrip, and the consequence was that the chureh ax nob Raleralleahere being only $500 worth sold up to that time. One gentleman purchased $50 worth to give away. After Kossuth made his ap- pearance, the doors were thrown open, and there was a general rush, particularly the firemen, who were as impetuous as if they were running to quench a fire. They very quickly took, as it were, by storm, one corner of the gallery, dashing over the seats in allant style, and attracting the marked notice of Kossuth, who smiled approvingly at them. The church was, at length, densely filled, and the band struck up an STE Es air. Mr. Erastus Hopkins then addressed Chancellor Clarke, Chairman of the Selectmen, and said:—It becomes my pleasant duty, and itismy high honor to introduce to you, and through you to this assembly, our illustrious guest and warm friend. This people knows him, the wide world knows him, with di rent emotions, however—some of love, and some of hate and fear, His name, like that of our own George Washington, requires no prefixes or suffixes to give it importance or signifi The simple name places all other add in abeyance. I[ in- troduce, therefore, to this assemblage Louis Kossuth. (Great Applanse.) Chancellor CLarke then welcomed Kossuth to the city, and, after a rambling and incoherent sp from which an idea could not be gleaned, h eluded by saying that no event in the history of Northampton would be cherished longer than the events of this day. KOSSUTH'S SPEECH ined silent for a few moments, looking avound the church, and partic a the direetion of the firemen, and then s speaking, I must look around to the pla were taken by storm. [ must. look around, b Lam in want of sj » not that | have no ins tion from the cause. [have one single idea in my head to inspire me, and will have it all my life. The roots of my very life are not within me, but in my dear fatherland. Sorrows and cares lie deep in my breast, and you know that deep sorrows and cares would rather be silent than to speak. I know not what is to be the matter of what 1 am about to say. Pray, be not disappointed if you hear no eloquence from that man whose only eloquence con- sists in his misfortanes, and from whose heart no adversities can ever banish the love of his country. With the name of your State there are many his- torical associations. Massachusetts not only led the way to th lution, but through the struggle, and to the final victory, and she has si led the way in the arts of peace. This stamps the very soil of your native land, and the people of Northampton have aright to claim for themselves the title of an intelligent city, as nature has given it the right to be called beautiful. I know not what distinguished citizens have been connected with Northampton. I only know that in the continental Congress the man who represented Northampton asa Senator, had the lory of being one of the leaders of your liberty, a osom friend of Washington, and I am glad here to mect hisdescendant. (Here Kossuth shook hands with Mr. Strong, who occupied a place on the platform.) Your city has sent three other Senators to Congress, and two Judges to the Supreme Court. Now, if I am not mistaken, the pepulation of Northampton is 5,000. Yet, such are the glories connected with it, that no other city can glory in having such distin- guished men. Thisis what increases the difficulty of my position, for an intelligent audience haye a right to hear something worthy of their attention. J know not how it comes, but when Iam told that I am an object of attention, and when honors are be- stowed upon me, I feel somewhat sad. I feel so, in the first place, because it is a proof to me of the fragility of human fate—a proof that man cannot choose his own path. I wished to be like the vio- let, spending its scent unseen. 1 wished thus to do good unobserved, and to see honor blotted out of the dictionary, and its place supplied by duty. But we cannot choose our own position. I °do not like mine; but I am compelled to accept it from a sense of duty. I am consequently much talked about. You know that those whoare much talked about, are much loved; but they are also much hated. { am hated axd opposed by all who are opposed to the liberty of mankind, and all who love despotism, and so bless me God, I will endeavor to earn their hatred. (Arplau oI IT am a poor humble man, worn out by the toils of life. I have nothing to wish—nothing even to hope—reduced in my private ideas to a desire for a place to lay down my we head in my native land, and not possessed of ay merit but of the single one of being an honest man Why is such a man hated by the despots ot the earth, and opposed by all friends of despotism? Be- cause they hate and fear the truth, and truth, though crashed, willrise again. That is the key of the sympathy I ‘have received in the United States. You may be sure that there is a strengih in the word freedom, that so long as you exist with your institutions to illustrate its meaning, it will never be blotted out of the human heart. And so long ty- ranny will never be secure. But in that respect Jet me say to you a few words. The people of A Kossutn rein erica have the reputatio ef being a proud ile, and they have a right to feel proud. Bue it su rely too exclusively on pride for your future, en you might not be tpared the bitter experien of the fragility of human fate. There have been mighty empires before you. Where are they now ? If you inquire into the eal consequence. A icide A r stroyed itself, ‘If yourely too strongly on your fi ture, their fate may be yours.

Nobody cancharge | me with not seine fairly and openly. Ihave ob- tained the sympathy and tho hearty God speed of mil- lions and millions, from which, indeed, I am encour- aged. I will bring back to Europe this symyathy, and Europe will look for the hand of the young giant of America stretched across the ocean, to encourage, to strengthen, and to aid him—the elder brother of humanity. This is the interest as well astho duty of America, for their is an ideality in humanity and a solidarity in nations. If one corner of the sky is dark, the whole firmament will soon be shrouded in darkness. I want to bring Europe a sure answer. If] brought her the answer that there is nothing to hope for, it would be less dangerous than one that would encourage her to rely upon you without foun- dation. No; rather let us stand alone, and make up our own account with God, take the Lord’s sup- per, gird on our swords, and fight our own battle, than rely upon you for help, and not find help in time of need. Exert are right and yourgenerosity in time, that we may know on what we re! y for the cause of liberty in oppressed Europe. But I may be told that the coup d'etat has destroyed all hope. Well, I believe that Louis Napoleon is not sitting more firmly on his presidential—or I know not what. to call it—seat, than Louis Philippe was on his throne fifteen days before his overthrow. You know where he is now; and I know where Louis Napoleon will be before long. (Applause.) There have been many usurpers and tyrants in the world—Nero, Cali- gula, and [ know not all their names. In the case of these usurpers there was something of grandeur in their very cruelty—something imposing to the ima- gination of men. But such an Sanrneson as now exists in France, destitute of every thing great or dazzling—it is only a name, and that not even from a father, but from an uncle. (Much laughter.) know where he will be soon. Mr. Hulsemann might he very glad if1 would tell him of all the conspira- cies that ure now in Europe, and of my agents who are in the very cabinet of St. Petersburg. Perhaps the people of Northampton are also curious to know— for curiosity is a harmless weakness common to hu- manity. It'would satisfy you if Itold you, but that I will not do. (Laughter.)

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., April 25, 1852. His Arrival from Northampton, and Reception by the State Committee—His Dinner and Departure —Pickpockets after Kossuth— The Rapping Spirits in Springfield. Kossuth arrived from Northampton at half-past eleven o’elock this forenoon, and was received at | the railroad depot upon a platform erected there fer the purpose, by the committee of the State Legisla- ture, headed by General Wilson, President ef the Senate, who wore a tricolor rosette im his breast. He addressed Kossuth at considorable length, and welcomed him as the champion of Mangere tee ° people of Massachusetts, ho said, had wat the struggle of that nation with deep interest and with admiration; and when, by the combined treason of Georgey and the treachery of the Czar, Hungary fell, the people of Massachusetts felt, as they now feel, that Russia had outraged the law of nations. But all is not lost. Strong are the impulses of liberty; and the prayer of Massactrusetts is thet the day may soon arrive when Hungary will take her position among the nations of the earth. He wel- comed Kossuth with all his soul. Kossvuruthenreplied in a low tone of voice searecly audible. He mide hoped to God, with all the moaning of those eloquent words the gentleman had spoken, that they would give assurance to his eoun- try for the restoration of its lost freedom and pendence. This hope and confidence of his upon the generous character of the people of chante: He begged leave to return to the te Committee his sincere thanks for the kind and’ very obliging way in which they welcomed the poor exile, who finds himself the guest of Massachusetts. He would be greatly embarrassed by this reception if he found himself to be its object, personally, and not a manifestation of sympathy for the principles of the cause of his country. ‘hat cause could not be a matter of indifference to the people of Massachusetts; and he therefore accepted these honors. He felt proud to be their guest, and would feel happy to cross un- der their guidance the soil of the old Bay State, the elassical land of American independence Kossuth then shook hands with General Wilsea, and was introduced to the aides of the Governor of the State, one of whom, Col. Williams, then ad- dressed him to the following eflect:—By the order of the Governer of the State, I am instructed to wel- come you in his name, and toinform you of the pre- parations he has made to receive you. On your ar- rival at Boston you will bo met by a company of vo- lunteers, when you will be conducted to the State House, where the Governor will officially receive you. In order that you may understand our militia Reeretary of State, Vaniel Webster. (Applause, particularly from some distinguished free-soilers, who clapped their hands vehemently.) I said to him, ‘* Youare a great and a wise man. Iwish you would tell me what you will do for Hungary, without committing yourself.”’ For I concluded that if any one will not another, it may be hard to say he has no sympathy for him, but it looks suspicious ; and those who claim to have great sympathy, and will do immense things when there are great prospects of success, are but doubtful friends to any cause. Therefore, I asked Mr. Webster that question, and I asked him another. It was this:—'‘* 7 Louis Napo- Jeon more sure in his place than Louis Philippe was on the Mth of February, 18487" His reply was— “Certainly not more sure. When a fal » report of the death of Louis Napoleon (I know not by whom sent) came to New Orleans, it created a panic among the commercial classes ughter.) What con- sistency or strength is there in that which depends on the little death of so little a man? (More laughter.) Our prospects are better every way than in 1848. Then the nations were not prepared ; now they are. Then they were isolated; now they are combined and leagued to protect themselves against oppression. ‘The revolutions of 1843 had no posi- tive, definite aim. The ions now know what they want, and that ther no stopping place be- tween heaven and hell. AN InisHMan, in a suppress have purgatory? KossvutH.—I knew this to } Italy, and the same is true of ( pots had the same sold can rely less upon the «ltone—Where do you 0 of Hungary and rmany. ‘The des- rs then as now, but they now. They had more money and less credit then. Now they have less money, and no eredit at all. (Laughter.) The oppros. sion is greater now than before, and therefore tho more likely to produce a successful revolution. Before the year 1848 in Hungary, the whole taxation only amounted to fourteen and a half mil- lions of dollars; now it is sixty-five millions. The merchants of Hungary formerly dealt extensively in tob iow the Emperor engrosses the business entirely to himself. Between the heavy tax and the vexations espionage, the merchants are driven out of it. he police are sent to the farmer’s houses to see if evena leaf of tobacco were absconded that grew in their own gardens. Immense quantities thus seized have been burned in the public streets. There ix raised in Hungary wine totheamount of seme one hundred and_ twenty millions of gallons in the year. A bottle of it could be sold for half a dol- lar, better then you can get here for tex dollars. | (reat laughiar) bien the independence of Hungary is achieved, a vast business might be cpencd between it and this country in wine, which eculd be exchanged for rice and other things we want. There were large territories of people in Hungary living entirely on the fruit trees of which brandy is made. (Much suppressed merriment among the anti-liqnor law men.) Such is now the taxation that the trees of all these gardens are cut down; and T could name men who are not revolutionists, but remarkable for their blind submission, who have offered large estates to the government, if they would pay the land taxes, which were greater than the value of the land itself. If a man has a complaint to make for justice, a stamp must be provided which will cost $50. If he has only $49 he must lose his claim, because he is one dollar too poor. Hungary has no national existence—no civil or religious institutions. She is stripped of every- thing called liberty; and when I add that material oppression which I have now aketched, I defy any despot in the world to tell what further oppression exn be inflicted upon any people. I go back to Europe, not to rest my head, but to meet danger. And, after these few rambling ideas I must now youturewell. I have mettoo many adversities not to feel the meaning of that word. “I have been told that you are a cold hearted people. May Godgrant I may never see a colder. Laughter.) Your true character is that you act not from impulse but from principle. I have laid my hand on the nation’s heart—on a large part of it, for my hand is too small to cover it all. (Much laughter.) I have felt the beating of that heart for my country’s cause. The more | progressed and the more sympathy I obtain- ed, the more hostility I met, the more roused were the tyrants, and T have been assailed by all calumnies. IfI were the worst of all nen world, would the cause of justi nd of Hun- gary be the less true? Its claims ave entirely inde- pendent of my merits or faults. But how just and true must be the cause, when its eneimios can find no argu- ment against it, and must resort to personal calum- nies against me? And so asthe cause increases I meet hostility; and if I meet sympathy from you now, it is the result of principle, for there has not been one dyop of eloquence in ail that I have said. From Massachussetts, that classical country of American Independence, I will take my last impression of the United States. May God Almighty conserve you in the noble sentiments you cherish, and keep a place for the poor exile in yout hearts. ’ But if you should forget me, de not forget the battle-field where all the battles of the world are tobe fought. Ladies and gentlemen, | bid you farewell. : Loud applause followed this speech, and Kossuth then left the church, accompanied by Mr. Hopkina, to his residence, where a few friends were entertain- ed at dinner, to meet Kossuth, and it is said cham- pears aks other wines freely flowed, though Me. Lopking recently voted for the Maine Liquor law— red is pretty gen ral with the advocates of tue law im these diggings. As soon as Kossuth left the church, all eyes searched around for another attraction which it was known was there, aud soon they w ited upon a certain pew not far from the pulpi inod Madame Goldschmidt and Monsieur Goldschmidt, and Mrs. Ward, of Boston. They “gazed and gazed, and still the wonder grew.” Jenny held down her head, and Monsieur, who wears « mous tache, and i im end rather diminutive young leman of very meek appearance, looked quite hand embarrassed. At length the crowd presced closer and closer around, and the embarrags- ment increased, nor was there any symptom of an intention op the part of the spectators to quit, some of them remarking that they had paid their dollar for a double purpose—to see the Nightingale as well as the Hungarian specch-maker. At length, in hed ok the whole Py arose to go—Mrs. Ward leading the way, and roy: leeply veiled, following—but she had to pass through double lines of eager eyes, vrag J the . i poten tet but a very narrow space m 5 © principal portion of this crowd were girls, aud thore behind pushed & lous lieve in the doctrines of Kossuth? @ system, to-morrow atternoon the Governor will vite you to review the troops. Permit me to tender you my heartfelt congratulations. Kossuth then withdrew, in company with the committee, and proceeded to the Mussasoit House, where he is to dine privately, as their guest, some local friends of the cause are invited to meet him. At half-past three o'clock be leaves in a spe- cial train, for Worcester, where he is to have a pub- lic reception this eyening. om the above it will & n that the Massa chuse eee as are going to do the thing up brown—and quite differently from the Legislature and Governor of the State of New Jersey. Yet there isa coldness and formality axd pompous stiff ness in these preliminary proceedings, which show that they are hollow, aud do not mean anything but mere show, of which Kossuth occasionally be- trays his misgivings. ‘The Springfield Republican of this morning has the following item:— “Two robberies were committed in the ehureh, during the speech of Kossuth, by pickpockets who follow in his train. Silas Cook, carpenter, of this city, was robbed of $300, and but tor his having paid out $700 on the previous day, would have been robbed of $1,000. Another man, named Sikes, was robbed $85. During the morning, a dispateh was re- ceived from Henry Tanuatt, of Meriden, Cr., stating that there were pickpockets on the train with Kos- who had robbed him of $ The subjoined appears in the other paper:— * The young ladies of &pri 4 y Springfield will hold a fee tival at Foot’s Hall, on ‘Tuesday evening, the 27th inst., for the benefit of the Hungarian cause.

Nortuamrton, Mass., April 25, 1852. Opinions and Discussions about his Specch—His Suite not all Hungarians—his Departure for Springfidd—Jenny Lind and the Cold Water Cure Establishment. Yesterday Kossuth kept perfectly quiet, giving the reporters and, it is to be hoped, himself some rest. He wasnot at church—the cause being fatigue, or, as some of the knowing ones say, preparing his speech for Boston. His speech here on Saturday— which I have sent you in another letter—has been the theme of general discussion ever since through- ont the city, in private circles, at the hoiels, and in the streets It has given offence to two classes, and in point cfeloquence it has disappointed all. It has offend- «those Americans who pride themselves upon their country not only as having the elements of great- ness, but acting as a great country. One gentle- man I heard say, at one of the hotels, that he was before an admirer of Kossuth, but he had now greatly changed his opinion of him; and he added, that were it not for courtesy to a stranger, and if one of their own orators had been there, he would have been hissed. A second said thore were fifteen hundred crators in Massachusetts could beat that speech, and another said there were at least fifty in Nor- thampton who could make @ better stump speech, and as fi ——— him with Webster or Everett, it was like Gabriel to a farthing candle. It must, however, be borne in mind that Kossuth did not write that speech—it was extemporancous; and be- tween this class of spee and his written orations there is a wide difference. He has beea only _ the Eng) language fora few months. owsut is, beyond all doubt, an eloquent orator with one idea, aud that is his chief merit as a public man, His honesty, which he is so constantly assert. ing, without any one calling it in question, does ne rrpass that of millions of plain farmers or hanics, who never fe t their integrity at all. » is a beautiful orator when he prepares, but whether be is alw wise one is another question. It does not seem very prudent for a great leader to oftend the national prejudices of the people, while he vying soft soap very thick on their loeal pre- jraic One gentleman, in the disenssion above alluded to, observed that Kossuth showed great want of tact in not fattering the national as well as the local character; for a Yankee can swallow any amount of national flattery, but feels very sore at any disparagement, or any’ censure, even ot Kossuth ought to have known enough by this time to know that. Such are the opinions expressed. The way ia which Kossuth committed himselfagainst the Maio Liquor law is also regarded as very foolish by the shrewd Yankees here; for it has given terrtble of- fence to his most enthusiastic admirers among the teetotal fanatics. Some persons, too, (not teetotal- ers,) were gickled almost to death with the absur- dity of the Rlea of one hundred and twenty millions of gallons of first rate w' t fifty cents a bottle, which would enrich the United States, if she
