KOSSUTH STILL AMONG THE YANKEES. Annan ON BUNKER HILL, fae tipeer Ricoh + Cuan e8rown, Mase., May 3, 1852. PROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER, Koxsuth kissed the “‘blarney stone” of New Eng- land, to-day, in beautiful style. His reception took place to-day, with all tho glorious pomp and cir- eumstance that could be mustered, without the aid of tho city government. Long before the hour of meeting, a great crowd, of both sexes, assembled on tho western side of the fionuinent. The ladies were Very numerous. Dressod im their best, and bearing sunshades of every hue, they gave animation, and a picturesque appearance to the scene. An immense platform was erected, which gave accommodation to the reporters, and afferded an opportunity to some favored ladies to be near tite great lion of Hungary, and hear his roar. From the top of the monument were run down i1wo lines to the railings, northeast and southwest, from which fluttered in the breeze the flags of all nations, the star spangled banner at the top, the the Union jack next, then the Turkish crescent, and then the Hungarian flag, as if under the pro tection of th:so three. Tho emblems of other coun- tries then followed, and the effect of the whole was ry fine. Flags, American and Hungarian, were displayed from the City Hall, and from somo of the the of iuterpreter of his people’* sentiments at the uration of this monument, hes but an irrefutable truth. when he said, that the re of the battle of Bunker Jlill will continue to rain infla- ence not only upon your country, but upon the world. And indeed, be was right to ray, that at the rising of the sun, and the setting of the sun, and the piace of noon day, and beneath the milder effulgence of lunar Jight, yonder obelisk will look and ag to the fail eom- prehension of every American mind. It has looked and ‘poken for nine years in its accomplished majesty. Meanwhile, you have gloriously fought the battle of ac- tivo vitality, and cant soe sway to the chorea af the Lacie, Uniting with new iat wh fulure Lo the des- Untes ofthe old world. ‘The oufort of indutence, eal 'y considerations, and even the reputa.ion founded authority, may grasp into the roiling wheel of necessity—the necessity will not change-—and you, 4 of America, have decided to answer that uecvesity. Ihave laid my band upon your people's heart, and I have watehied the Jogie in the progress of exigencies, and I dare ray, with firm confidence, the foretold instruction ef that monument’s majestic eloquence is felt by the people's in- stinet, and is fully comprehended by the iutelligenec of Moseachuretts. And the new exigencies of new times will be answered by Massachusetts with that energy with which it has answered the exigencies of all former times The Pilgrim Fathers founded a community—the battle of Bunker Mill fgunded a nation—the approaching struggle for liberty in Europe will see this nation » mighty power onearth, That is what we wish, and that is what I hope. And that hope wiil not, cannot fai Gentlemen, a great crisis is approaching in the condi tion of the world. But the world is prepared for that crisis, ‘There is a great change in the spirit of time ond I myself am an humbie evidence it. Principles weigh more than success, and therefore principles will meet success, I remember well, when your forefathers were about to fight the battle of Bunker fill there was a periodical paper at Boston—Tory Massac one of the last sittings of the House of Commereo, in whieh the mombere, manifesting their vary, for the project communicated (o them, deci that the House should officially support and should use all its exertions over the other houses of commeree and the Ministerof Finances.

LOCAL AFFAIRS. THE ART UNION LOTTERY CASE. eS Supreme Court—General Term. Hon, Judges Edwards, Mitchell. and Roosevelt, presiding. May 4.—The People of the State of New York vs. Abtrahom B. Cozens and others, Managers of the American Art Union.—Thisis an application upon a case made by consent, without action, in aevordance with Section 372 of the Code, for an order of judg- ment of forfeiture, pursuant to Section 31, Article 4, Title 8, Chapter 20, Part 1, of Revived Statutes, of certain property offered for distribution by lot, by the defendants, Managers of the American Art Union, in the city of New York. The questions arising on the pleadings ere thr First. Is the mode of distribution case a lottery within the meaning of tion of 1821, Article 7, Seetion 11? Second. Ifnet a lottery within the meaning and intent of the constitution, is the said mode of distri- bution in violation of the general law, entitled “ Of Rafling and Lotteries,” Article 4, Title 8, Chaps 20, Part 1, Revised Statutes, *‘ or any of the sections shown by the constitu- ir Rpedient. atermof art.

(Giffard vs. Livingston, 2 Denio, 285. Constitution of 1821, art. 7, see. 9. Irby ve. Wilton, 1 Dev. and Bat. Bq. R. 579). Both in England and in the States of this Union, private lotteries have been restrained from a very early pe- riod, by the most stringent prohibitions; and there was not, in 1821, when this prohibition was first adopted, any cvils resulting from the toleration of such lotteries, (22. L. of 1813, p. 188, and mar- ginal notes). But the immoral practice of raising w revenue by public lotteries, of the precise form which was tn common use in 1821, either for the benefit of the government itself, or some civil di- vision of the State, or some public object, having become inveterate in England and in this country, it was then considered a great evil, which ought to be suppressed. From 10d to 1824, one or more pub- lic lotterics were authorized at every session of Par- lament. (8 Eneyelo. Am. 86. 10 Encyclo. Brit. 297. Specimen 5 Ruffh. Stat. at large, 192.) Just prior to the convention of 1821, the policy of suppressing this vicious legislation was discussed Meeting of the Chamber of ©. There was a full attendance at the meoting of the Chamber of Commerce yerteriay about seventy members being present. After tho preliminary business, the following « tlemen were elected members of the Chamber:— Geo. W. Lane, Semuel J. Perry, B.B. Chas. B, Bebee, Henry Suydam, Lucien E. Ooman. J, J. Van Nostrand, Alex, I, Grant, Kara Wheeler, James B, Wilson Marshall Pepoon. A vacancy in the Arbitration Committee was filled by the election of Merritt Trimble.

Here was tought the first battle of the Revolution—here, almost within the shades of an- cient.

Welcome, thrice welcome, to the emotions of dur kindred nature. Your fidelity to the institutions ef your own ceuntry—your fidelity to the cause of liberty im your fatherland, and to the same principles which made thie spot sacred, by fire and blood, to the spirit of universal liberty—all make us welcome you with patriotic fervor. Ans, ae we bid you welcome to our altars of free- dom, to our halls of learning, and to our domestic iasti- tutions of every kind, it is in the joyful knowledge ot our increasing bappiners and prosperity, Would to God that we could look with the same face on brave and galiant Hungary!

Koesuth fen proceeded to deliver his written speech, which, owing to the strength of the north- west wind, could not be heard by one-twentieth part of the people; in fact only in the southeasterly di- rection. ‘The tumult and confusion beeame great in consequence, as every one strove to get to leeward, and a little closer to the orator. ‘The ladies and children, crushed, screamed out, and tho jostling and waving to and fro of the assemblage, was terri- ble for some time; but at length order was restored.

All the its of that most eventful victory, under the name of defeat—I see them ail; the eyes of my soul are familiar with the spirits of martyre of liberty.

Now we are able to state that the company is formed, and a subscription depesited into the hands of the government. The following letter, directed by the members of that company to the House of Commerce, to beg its aid and patronage, sufficiently shows the combinations of that enterprise, and dispenses with entering into other details: To the President and Members of the House of Com- merce, Havre: GenTLEMEN—I have the honor to inform you that, sustained by the assent of the commerce of Havre, and the efficacious concurrence it promised me, I have sent to the Minister of Finance, in my name and the name of M. Levasseur, ship-owner of our city, and deputy of our @epartment to tho logisla- tive body, a proposition, which rests upon the fellow- ing baeie and conditions :— « The formation of an anonymous company. for a duration of fifteen * heck haying for its object and aim the creation of a line of three transatlantic steamers between Havre and New York, with 2 eum of ten millions francs—nine millions for the con- struction and armament of the steamers, in the dock yards of Havre, and one million destined to current expenses. 2. The adjunction, in eighteen or twenty months, of that French line to the existing American line, in settling with it 2 common tariff for merchandise and passengers, and in combining the departures in order to obtain two sailings and two entrics each month during the days ef the new and ful] moon, the only times which permit the entry and sailing of large sbipe which draw heavily in the water. 3. The directions of the society to be intrusted to a council] of supervisors, nominated by the share holders, and the interdiction to the. manager chosen by that council to transact othor affairs than those of the society. 4. The propriety of fitting out of a third steamer of the line, in case of serious damages happening to one of the steamers at sea. . The fixing of ae ene of each steamer, in wood or in iron, te 2, or 2,200 tons, and the power of steam to 1,000 horses of effective foreo. In consideration of that we have called from the government the supply of one million of francs yearly fur each steamer of the line, namely, 1,000f. for each force compared to that of a horse, offerin, as acompensation the promass of the carriage of letters and despatches by means of the projected service. In calling your attention upon that proposition, i will show to you, gentlemen, the advantages offered toour port, and to the general interest of commerce.

To warrant that position, the violation of the solid principles of law must be assumed to the extent oi permitting tho American Art Union ta distribute b, the Legislature had repented, by general Jaw. The Court would yp second subdivision had traced ou! three sections 26, 30, and 27. Section 26 declared illegal every lottery or game, by whatever name called, and shonld have been authorized by law. ‘he 30th scetion said that * no person, unlese aut law then existing”—that was at time this act was made—** should of for sal bution by lottery. °. It did not speak oft ii tonee. It would seem that it was le ature to pass a spe law, and to ta c © out of the general statutes. He next ad- verted to the thirty-first section, under which accrued the forfeiture of all the property offered for sale, Aistribution, or disposition against the provisions of the law; that it should be forfeited to the people of the State, as well before as after the determina- tion of the chances, on which the property was de- pendent. It was quite enough that the sale and distribution of the property was against the provi- ons yf the law, whether by a game of hazard—so termed—or a game of whist, or seit other mode; the moment it was s0 offered, it be- come forfeited to the people of the Stais. By the 22d, 30th, or 27th sections, tho Art Union was liable, and not excepted. The act of 1844 was not an act passed Sat teinine lot or game prohibi- ted by law. Nothing could be found in the act of 1840 that would raise the implication that there was an authority to distribute works of art by lottery or chance. The Art Union had incorporated a section in the draft of their constitution in direct violation of the law of the land, created by the third section of the act. They adopted the constitution because they had adopted the by-laws, which were declaredto be new binding as the constitution, and because by that wd had proceeded and might go onin viola- tion of law by distributing by lot. hey assumed that, when, in 1844, the Legislature passed anamendatory act, that the second section of that act conferred on them express authority to on in opposition to the general law, by distributing by lot. If the power did not rest upon the second section, it was to be found nowhere in the statutes. The District Attorney then read and commented upon the lan- uage of the act, and showed that the Art Union derived no power to insert that section in their act. They did not come within the principles of existing statutes, but they were completely at variance with them. ‘© referred to the various sections of that act which related to horse racing, and commented upon their appli+ cation to Queens county and Dutchess county, and showed their inapplicability in principle to that claimed for them by the Art Union. taking all thie, the defendants stood in court as violators of the law, and the whole of the property offered for distribution against the provisions of the law, should be forfeited to the people of the State: it became forfeited at the time it was offered. He had pre- viously entertained the view that this institution was unquestionably legal; but having had his atten- tion ep std irected to it by recent circum- stances, he felt he had his duty to perform, and that he was then discharging it, in aking for the on- forcement of the law. Mr. O'Connor, counsel for the defendants, ros and presented the following points to the Court, on thoir behalf, as follows: — This is a caso made by consent for the judgment of the court, pursuant to section 372 of the Code of Practice. (Voorhees’ ed. Pe. 284.) It raises th) question, whether the Art Union violates any law of this State by ite annual distribution of paintings. The Art Union originated in a voluntary associa- tion, formed in 1889, for the promotion of the fine aris. This association was meorporated in 1840, Fhe act of incorporation was amended in 1844, and again in ISM. Lhe first distribution took place in 1829; and an annual distribution took place an- nually from that year, until and including the year 1850. | When the distribution for 1851 was about to take place, the District Attorney of New York was advised to demand the pictures intended for distribution, as ferfeited under the provisions of the statutes relating to ‘“raffling and lotteries.” CLR.S. 665.) The facis are so concisely stated in the case, that no further statement is necessary in this > ce. First Point.—Preliminarily to the general on, Whether the annua! distribution of the Art © gaming in any moral sense, it is proper to hat it isnot opposed to the letter or spirit ofany positive law. And, therefore, the following propos!~ tion i submitted, inthe firet place; i.e. ‘The pro- ons of the constitution, which dovlare, that no lottery shall hereafter be authorized, nor an, sale of lottery tickets allowed within this State,” do not npply to the distribution annually made by the Art Union. (Const. of 1821, Art. 7, § l—of 1846, Art. 1§ 10.) | Lottery,” as uged in tho constitution, does not embrace everything which is included by the ordinary lexicographical mean- ing of that word. This ig proved by a reference to the selection of jurors, the classification of sen: tors under the constitution of 182], (Art. 1. § 3,) and a multitudo of other casos, in which the Jaws necessarily sanction and approve the determination of important rights by lot or chance. oe v.

Lotteries are made wv niaty prizes, and uiinister to i their schemes addeess ther- yes, in the grossest and most revolting form, directly tu that sordid passion, and to no other senti- ment. The prizes and the tickets are #us- coptible of iinute subdivision, and are adapt- cd to seduce iato gaming every class of soci ety down to the poorest sweeper of a eross- walk. The managers are allowed to take a pecuniary profit, which is the motive for the under- toking, and this enlists a corps of ac ducers to draw the weak and unwary into the purchase of tickets, by glowing pictures of the great and sudden gains to be acquired thereby. Inart unions, on the contrary, the managers derive no profit; the only advantages held ont to contributors, or which thoy can contemplate without personal dishonor, ave the promotion of fine arts, the means of instruetion, the cultivation of a refined taste, and te enjoyment of its pleasures in a superior degree, or at a cheaper rate, than their associates. The picture of a master has no fixed market price, and is not easily conver- tible into money. In a pecuniary sense, its value is little elee than imaginary, and iS generally ineapa- ble of realization. ‘Tho lottery advertisement isan artful appeal to cupidily; the art union prospectus ey ied only the best and purest impulses. (People v. ant, 8 Cow. 141.) That the love of pocu- may, insome instances, impel individu- als to purchase a momberehip; aod that a pictere obtained thereby may semetiines have been sold im- mediately, would prove Hothing against art unions. The best institution may be, to vome extent, per- verted to unworthy purposes. The primitive Church was defiled by Simeny. The most ominent judges and lawyers, and the most eminent members of nicely in every department, have given their approval of art unions, ae not being repugnant to the laws against lotteries or games of chance, and being beneficial to the public in all their results.

He cited the history of the Banking Act, and theseveral decisions in reference to it, in support of this view, aud also alluded to the history and effect of lotteries in Eng- land before they were prohibited. In the ease of the Art Union, there was a combination of persons all mutually interested, and it was not, therefi up for the benefit of any one interested in: He referred to the employment of disiribution by way of lot under wills, and in many other cases, in which it was necessary to prevent ill feeling and to secure mutual accommodation.

RATION.—The Bosten Journal gives the following accoutit of a mining operation which oceurred on the “old Boylston gy tate,” so called, in Boylston street, Roxbury, and which, upon being made known, create, ng little excitement and speculation in the imaediate neigh- borhood, as to the probable catizo of the affair. It appears that a hole, somé three or four feet square at the surface, was dug near the foot of a large ap- le tree, where the soil or sod is not known to have eon disturbed for a period of at least six years. After digging down two or three feet, the miners continued their excavation in a downward, oblique direction, between two very large roots, which were scarcely grazed, while other roots of less size were severed, as with a single blow, from some sh in- strument, until the hole reached a depth of five or six feet, and pa directly under the trunk of the tree, When first discovered yesterday morning, the hole had been partly filled “up, ‘and the pieces of roots which had been severed were replaced, thus showing that whoever made the excavation, proba- bly intended to leave the ground in nearly the same condition as it was before being disturbed, but that, r seme unknown reason, the operators left without so doing, Upon removing the loose earth from the 1 which was done hy Dr. Wing and his son, they found every appearance, at the bottom of the hole, of a square box havin been removed fromthe spot... Mysrenrovs Minina Or ‘This, however, is entirely a matter of conjecture. The entire lot of ground in which the hole was dug being completely codded, and the fact of the dig- ging having taken place in the night-time, coupled with the fact that two or three cart-loads of earth were removed, has led several persons to the belief that treasure was buried there several years since, by parties who were subsequently im, ned, and upon being released from confinement, have ex- humed their dearly earned and long buried booty. ‘he whole matter may possibly be a hoax, but if so, the perpetrators must have worked hard for the eae of enbeagive the public.
