Kossuth arrived here to-day at 1 o'clock, by special train from Boston, accompanied by his suite and the Mr. Bure Linghame who denounced Captain Long. ‘Bhere was an immense crowd congregate: at the railroad depot, and at the Common, who cheered him, but not very enthusiasti- | interest bre Le the greab kon wpe poet ieee majority of the sppeared to poynies- Ky together.

Lynn is remarkable for its shoe factories, and one of the banners bore the following appropriate it iption:— ‘Welcome Kossuth—welcome to the City of Soffs,”” The name ofthe Chief Marshal was T. Munroe—his aids were R. G. Usher aud E. A. Wheeler. ‘The bands in at- tendanee were the Brigade band and the American, Atten minutes to 2 o'clock, he entered the Lyceum, ‘accompanied by the Chairman of the Committee of A ments, and the Chairman of the Committee of Recéption, amidst loud applause. He was received and welcomed by the Mayor, George Hood, Esq., in a short epecch. He said. “Governor Kossuth is very Hl, and is unable to address you; but he would not disappoint you. and he came down to the platform to see you. Tsball not detain you lang under the circum- stances.” The speaker then proceeded to laud Kossuth in the usual strain, and denounce the despots of Euro] He ssid he did not think the people of the United States would be compromised by the citizens of Marseilles being permitted to express their sentiments under the shadow of the American flag. He concluded by saying, ‘‘Fellow citizens, I present to you Governor Kossuth, the friend Kometh Komtuth then rose, and was received with loud cheers by the multitude, and notwithstanding what the Mayor said. which led everybody to believe that Kossuth was very bsd, he proceeded as follows:—I thank you for your kind. sympathy. You have been pleased to say that the heart of the people is with me because they love Liberty. ‘That is the explanation of all the sympethy and the aid it bas been my happy lot to mect .since I came to the United States, ‘There nover was a case before where misfortune was taken as an opportiinity to doa man honor, Never in history has there-been such an example. It is no particular merit of mine, but an evidence of a great change, or rather Aevelopement, in the sentiments of mankind. ’ Lafayette was received in the sume manner, but he had the luck to do some good for the United States. But as tome, I nevot will have the power to do the slightest good for the United States, and still you receive me like him, and ex- press your sympathy; an evidence this of the develope- ‘ment of those feelings in the heart of humanity which mark an era in the solidity of nations, [hear that the city of Lynn is chiefly composed of agriculturalists, mechadics, and fishermen. In every one of these three qualities Thad a motive for consolation and for hope to meet your aympathy—the agriculturists, because being convétxant with the branches of nature, they are gener- ous by necessity; the mechanics, because their business is connected with intelligence and is favorable to the deve- lopement of the generous feclings of humanity, and a por- tion of industry that produces family independence, and therefore friendiy to freedom; and the fisheries, because sailors are bold and noble in their disposition. ‘The great heart ‘of the people is always right in its instincts, how- ever Wrong individuals may be. Sotrue is this that it is demonstrated by the very fact, that now, upon calm re- ficetion, the people's heart beats as’strong with sympathy as it did in the beginning of my Cdretftu the United States, If you look back to former times you will find that there was always some great power that swayed the world. ‘To rule the world now is the true position of the United States, the first-born, eldest son of liberty. If it be the future destiny of nations, asin the past. that one will preponderate, oh,my God, may that be the United States, which is founded on literty itself. If it be not the United States, it will be Russia, and then the very liberties of the Ametican people will bein danger from the Russian ear, Kossuth concluded amidst loud cheers, and was then introduced to a number of persons. Admission to the Lyceum was by Hungarian bonds, About 600 were sold. A large proportion of the audi- ence were ladies. Kossuth left for Salem immediately after his speech. KOSSUTH AT SALEM AND DANVERS. Saem, Mass., May 6—10 P. M. Kossuth arrived here this afternoon. at half-past three o'clock, by special train from Lynn, and was met at the Qepot by a committee of citizens, of whom the Hon. Stephen ©, Phillips was chairman. The crowd was smail, and showed no enthusiasm. The demonstration was per- fectly tame and flat, and the receptions at Lynn and Lowell were grand compared with it. The Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements conducted Kossuth to a barouche, drawn by six black horses. Kossuth’s guite and the committee also oecupied carriages. They then pro- ceeded to the City Hall—not in procession, but accompa- nied by an irregular crowd, running helter skelter. There were no fire companies—no military, although there are several companies of both in the city. Everything in- dicated mere cold curiosity. At the City Hall, Kossuth was addressed by Cuanues V. Urnam, the Mayor, who said— : A world-wide commerce has made the people of this place conversart with the idea of humanity in its broadest Acceptation, and our history eonnects. us more particularly with some of the mos jorable incidents in the progress of modern liberty.

Witeebuth was then introduced to the members of the Couneil, who were acoompanied by their wives. Kessuth reinarked to the Mayor, “I see ladies everywhere.” * Yes,”’ replied the Mayor: “each member of the Council bas tea i wife.” Kossuth replied: “I have before j, tbat the public will was sovereign, but I am glad to see that the people of America acknowledge other sovereigna—the Indies.” (Laughter.) Kossuth was then conducted through the principal #treets, which were lined by the fair, Some of the mistook Onptain Hajnik for Kossuth, and exclaimed, “What « beard be has!” On arriving at the Common, about 2.000 school children were arranged in a line arcund the ificent green, which consists of about twelve acres, It was filled with people, Kossuth seemed much pleased with the children, who bore little flags.

ATTEMPT TO LYNCH THE MURDERER. From the N. 0. Delta, 1st inst.] Great excitement was produced yesterday, by a very bloody affair which occurred at 1 o’cleck. at the corner ofSouth Market and Levee streets. It appears that an Irishman. a long-shoreman, named Haley, went into the Geld Region Coffeehouse, and after taking drink, re- fused to pay for it, when the bar-keeper, a German, whose name we qguid not learn, jumped over the counter, and ecg Haley, stabbed him twice in the side with a knife, either of which wounds was sufficient to produce death. The Levee police were soon om the ground, and succeeded in arresting the German. Whilst they were carrying him to the watch-house, s large crowd followed, threatening tolynch the German, and trying to drag him away from the policemen; but they did not succeed in their ohjcct, and the prisoner was safely housed. After this, the crowd returned to the scene of the murder; and its numbers having swelled considerably. they proceeded to attack the bar-room, destroying the furniture and pro- erty on the premises; after which they attacked a bar- t shop, kept by a German, in the neighborhood, which they also riddled. The owner first took refuge in an up- er story, but was chased out and pursued. by the mob. Je ran towards the Louisiana Hotel. and refuge in a barber shop adjoining that establishment.

A melancholy incident iso fe on the outward voyage of the steamer ashington. The well known and popular commander of that vessel show- ed eccentric conduct during the voyage from New York, which attracted the attention of the officers. Nothing of a serious nature occurred, however, till the steamer approached the English coast, when the chief officer discovered that there was nota suf- ficient supply of coals, that the chronometers had been altered by Captain Floyd, and that he had more than once attempted to run his fine ship ashore! The Captain’s conduct, in fact, became so extraordinary that it was remarked by all the pas- sengers, and they signeda statement respecting his mismanagement of the steamer. That statement has not, however, been published, as, indeed, it ought not to be. The Washington left New York the 27th ultime, and encountered strong casterly winds, severe weather, and much ice. She put into Milford Haven last week for coals, and at that port Captain Floyd attempted to run the ship on a ledge of rocks, but wae.prevented by the officers. With great difficulty the Captain was secured, and when the steamer arrived at Southampton last Saturday, (not Friday, as the tele; h mis-reported) the American Consul, Mr. okey, was informed of what had taken place, and he called together the most eminent medical men, who held a consulta- tion, andthey unanimously decided that Captain Floyd was not im his right mind, and he was con- veyed toa lunatic asylum!

Remarks.—The above statement should be re- ceived cum grano salis. We learn that Gapt.

One hundred and six persons were in favor of the ‘pro- posed removal; seventeen were to it; sixteen were indifferent in the matter, and thirty-two declined an expression of opinion, The Board of Trustees also re- ceived a letter, signed by 21 Kong owners in the church, who cordially assented to proposed change, and to such dispositiou of the present site and church edifice as in the judgment of the trustees might be conducive to that end. At a meeting of tho Board of Trustees, held on the fae Lora 162, it pees that it edgy ncireo to apply to the Supreme permission to sel lands and the church at the corner of Crosby and Grand streets, It is further contended, that unless this removal is made, several wealthy and numorous familios, already wearied by the delay, will leave the church at once— thus not only depriving the church of the income neces- sary for the present expenses, but putting it out of the power of the congregation to move advant ly ata future period ; that the corporation is without perma- nent funds—the proceeds of the property held by it will not be sufficient to provide a suitable place of worship, and that reliance for the supply of the deficiency is placed upon the persons who are about toleave the church— so that, should this nt application be denied when the ehurch is moved, as moved it must be, at no distant day. it will be difficult, if not impossible, to meet the ex- pense that will have ‘necessarily to be incurred. They also state that the site of the present church is boc very unpleasant fora place of worship ; that Grand stree! is even now quite a thoroughfare, and will doubtless every year beoome still more so; that the congregation is greatly annoyed by tho noise and hustle, especially of malian Cones whieh are 80 frequent in that vicinity onthe Sabbath ; that besides, the character of the nelgh- borhood renders it unpleasant, and at times unsafe, espe- cially for ladies, to attend evening services in this church; that the relative position of the house of worship has greatly changed within tho last few years; that from ing as it was, some fifteen years ago, near the centre of the congregation, if the tido of population still continues upward, it. will ina very short time be on its southern verge ; that even now the it mass of its worshippers reside e it, some of them as far up as Thirty: first street, and that many of the most numerous and wealthy families connected with the church reside about Seven- teenth, Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets ; that it is not their wish to remove as far up town as the rapid growth of our city and the, juent chai of resi- dences would seem toji j that their chject is to keep the materials of the church together, and that all they desire, is to remove toa place about the centre of the present congregation. although it was not to be ex- pected that ina measure like the one contemplated, there should be an entire unanimity ; and that although it were impossible to meet the individual convenience, and to secure the universal concurrence, of a people scat- tered from Thirty-first street to the Battery, and from Brooklyn to Hoboken, yet. that the trustees ‘can truly patois disposition to yield to the necessities of the case—to facrifice personal convenience for the steed the church—has widely prevailed, and a degree of. ny has been attained beyond their expectations. ‘The application was opposed, and the further argu- ment adjourned. Libel on Judge Bafculo. SUPREME COURT—SPECIAL TERM. Before Hon. Judge Mitchell. May 8.—In the matter of the People vs. George Wilkes, for libellous artiple on the Hon. Edward Barculo, one of the Judges of tie Supreme ani published in the Police Gazette, Mr. Brady, on behalf of defendant, moved to change the venue from Cranes cousty, to the county of leged be New York, where the all ibel was issued. It recollected that the defendant was tried on an indict- ment for libel on Hon. Ambrose L. Jordan, ex-Attorney General of this State, and convicted before the Court of Oyer and Terminer of Poughkeepsie, where Judge Barculo and two assistant justices presided. The libel on Judge Barculo was contained in an article in the Police Gazette, reviewing the conduct of the Court on the trial at Poughkeepsie. The es to change the venue was granted by Judge Mitchell, and the act under which the defendant's counsel moved was only passed last month. We publish the following sections:— An Act in relation to Indictments for Libel and the Trial thereof, passed April 7, 1852.

ROWE ON THE CHARGE OF FORGING A CHECK ON THE PACIFIC BANK, FOR SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS—VERDICT OF THE JURY. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Before Judge Beebe, and Ald. Wesley Smith and Bard. SECOND Day, May 10.—The Court and Jury having re-assembled, this cause was reewmed, Staats F. Moerman, who appeared, after some delay— an attachment having been made out, and his recog- nizances forfeited—called and examined for the prosecu- tion:—On the 16th November, 1851, he boarded at the New Haven House, and had boarded there previously for some time; knew Capt. Rowe by sight; he had borrowed $25 of witness previous to that day; knew the boy Woodruff by sight also; remembered the latter's arrest; thought it was the 6th of November; the loan to Rowo was made about a week before this date; at the time of the loan, be eaid he bad some money to pay his landlady, and bad acheck of $1,5000na bank, which be was about to cash; he never said anything more to me about it; on the 6th November (the day Woodruff was said to be arrested), dined at the New Haven House at exactly five ¢r a few minutes after two o'clock; had not then been paid his twenty-five dollars; raw Capt. Rowe standing at the door, and was going in about five or ten minutes past two, looking up Broadway, perfectly cool; witness asked him whether he had drawn that check, and understood him to say he had just sent a man up after it, and he was looking for, or expecting him, every minute; asked him to give him a note for it. and he said “certainly,” and went chet to the bar rocm; he made me out a note, and I -ohjected to some part of it, and he made me out another. Tr. Blunt proposed to hand the wi ness his own pre- Lminary oxemination, to refresh his memory, Prisoner's . counrel objected that the memorandum was not his own, but made by another peron. Q—Do you remember whether Capt. Rowe did not make two or three attempts to draw a note, before he could give you a entisfactory one? A.—I do not; my impression is that he drew but two. Q.—Did you notice sorties particular in Captain Rapthtog’ wrong:'he wan perfecliy’cool und clleotedy anything wrong; he was perfectly cool a lected; tate raw him after I came out from dinner; did not notice him at dinner; do not remember whet Tre- ceived the mote before or after the ball rung; I think I war late, and the bell hed rung; did not remember how long he was at dinner.

A.—1 can't Tecollcet how long I was yesterday; did not recollect when he first heard Woodruff had been arrested; could not sy that there was any intimacy between the boy and Rowe, or not. ‘This witners was not cross-cxemined, and the prosecu- tion rested. Mr. Sandford then moved, as the whole case rested en- e evidence of Woodruff as to the signing of Latting to the check, and that witness stood contradicted on matters which struck at the very root of the theory, that upon the cave, and the law applicable to puch cares, the prironer was entitled to the usual direc- tion of the Court for an acquittal, He would first call attention to the fact that this check way written in black ink, and the witness had stated on his cross ex- aminatien that Rowe when writing the check ured blue ink; in the second, Mr. Latting had accidentally let out, not that he bad endeavored to conceal it, but it had so come out, that Woodruff had been twice before t down to his store on the subject of the filter, whereas he had sworn (bat be gever Wee sent but opce, and om that agen . tion he had accomplished his purpose, going down quite out of it himself and be equally safe in commit is second oftence—perjury, I Je, then fixes ntleman who was 5 an laying {io scevein the mae commen own chamber, he puts it out of their power to contradict hum.

Apart from this consideration, the was ‘unreliable as a simple narrative. The whole process of obtaining Mr. Latting’s signature was contradicted by Mr. Latting, showing that it would have been unneces- sary for Mr. Rowe to ‘do so, but that Woodruff had not ¢ same opportunities.

This was a contradiction which struck at the foundation of the ees He then read from 9 Powell, 709, “The People vs. Whipple,” to the effect that the corroboration must be ina circum- stance which directly tends of itself to convict the de- songaead and in this case there was nothing that looked at way.

Turnbull gave witness par- ticular instructions to keep him secure; did not learn there was any other charge it him; during his con- finement thero, he used to talk to witness Sreauenty on the subject; a pretty short time after he was brought,and several times afterwards during his confinoment, he said Capt. Rowe did not write the check; he -said.that the man who did write it was out of their reach; he had gone to Boston, and was out of the country; that was Emer- son; did not know that Emerson was sometimes called ‘est; the statement that Rowe did not sign it was made after he (Rowe) had been arrested; héard him say 60 at jeast a dozen times or more, Cross-examined—Could not recollect whether he said anything about George Bowne; he did say something about Earle; did not recollect that he ever told him that Earle, Rowe, Bowne, and he. had been concerned in fifteen or twenty forgeries, or that one man had written them, nd they bad divided the money; when he said Rowe aid not sign the check, witness asked him who did, and he twas best known to himself; it was the Chemical Bank check he spoke of. To Mr, Sandford--It was the one upon which he was arrested. He never heard that there was more than one charge against him. Alexander Bunker called, atid examined by Mr. Brady —On the 6th of November he was superintendent of the New Haven House; he came on the 4th; Woodruff was burkeeper and subject to witness's orders; he was not author tomake any purchases for the house unless he was sent; be was not authorized, on the 5th of No- vember, to buy any bitters; witness first saw them the next morning; he was not positive, but ho it have seen them the evening they Mpa 4 i, but did not think he raw them until after the arrest; on that day Ginner was served at the usual hour. two o'clock; Mr. Rowe was (here pretty much all the while about the bar; he dined at the usual hour there,I have no doubt, for reasons; the boy was ; We aregenerally very busy about dinner time, and Woodruff went out without my knowledge; I spoke to Captain Rowe and asked him if he knew where young Woodruff was? he said “No,” and asked me why ; I then told him he was ‘during dinner hour, which he should not have done; I was fomewhat angry that he was gone. and as he was particu- larly acquainted with him, to tell him he had better at- tend to business or leave; that was after dinner; Rowe said he would speak to him, for I understood he had pot him into the bar, and it was supposed he had ome influence over him; some halfhour afterwards I raw Woodruff come in; I had been in the room dll the time; he came to the hall: I think Mr. Tilden was with him; but I did not know Mr. Tilden at that time, and thought he was alone, and began scolding the lad for going out without my knowledge and leaving the bar; he ‘aid, “It did not make much difference to whether he was there, or that he would have some dinner, at all events, where he was; (laughter) then he went into the dining room to his dinner, and in the meantime called Rowe into the room to him, and they both sat at the table, Woodruff eating his dinner and Rowe sitt besid® him; did not think Rowe eat anything; the knowledge i bad of any forgery, being committed, was while he was at dinner. Q.—After the gentleman had refreshed himself, what then?

The isoner’s counsel propored to submit the case under the charge of the Court; but Mr. Blunt wished to onswer somé remarks already made, and Mr. Brady, for the defence, summed up, the District Attorney replying on the part of the prosecution. Judge Beebe charged the i Be an extrenftly clear and im ‘ial manner. ze ipal points to which he called their attention were—first, as to the law. They had heard it laid down by the counsel that it was unsafe to convict on the uncorroborated testimony of an accom- lice; and that rule was undoubtedly the correct one. They had then hen told that the stery itself was incon- sistent and contradictory, and that it had been contra- dicted by the witnesses as to Capt. Rowe's movements at dinner time, Whether the evidence of the other witnesses was a corroboration or a contradiction, it was for them to, Judge. ‘They would not look upon the witness in the light of an Sieeies "Eas on the stand; contradicti or dircrepan if any, in his own story, should have more woight and strength than in ordinary witnesses, Had he been corroborated i materie! fact. which they would not boliéve, if ed? The only circumstance which struck his corroboration of the statement of the boy—the bearing upon it—was Captain Rowe standing at the door. and stating he had sent to the bank, and ex- ted the money.

It resolved iteelf into that.
