KOSSUTH IN ENGLAND. (mow 001 OWN The Indus arrived at Southampton from Gibraltar at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and brought intel ligence that konsuth had left Gibraltar on the 13th instant, in the Peninsular packet Madrid, and that the packet might be expected at Southampton yes terday. The utmost excitement prevailed at South ampton in consequence of this intelligence. A meet ing took place immediately of the Kossuth Town Committee, and they reso ved upon the programme of proceetlim , as to the reception. The Muyor having been advised that Kossuth would arrive in the course of the day, caused a notice to be issued to the mem bers of the town council to meet him in their robes at the Town hull, to present the uddres.l voted to the illustrious Kossuth. 11'Icen the Thames arrived at Southampton, about ra id.day yestei day, an immense crowd of per sons attended in the dock, in the hope of hearing somethiug about the Madrid. Two or three other steamers also came up the river in the course of the day, and a crowd flocked to the water side and the docks, thinking that each might be the Madrid. l'recisele at two o'clock yesterday afternoon the Madrid ;vas descried rounding the (.alshot Castle, at the entrance of Southampton Water. The news flew like wildfire through the town. The Mayor was immediately made acquainted with the fact, and he proceeded to the docks, and embarked on board the quarantine boat with the Custom-house office's, and the beat proceeded into the stream, to give the Madrid pratique. The Mayor was dressed in plain clothes, with a rosette of H Hungarian colours in his coat. As the Madrid ran up Southampton Wafer a fag was hoisted to show that she had some person of distinrtion on hoard. All the yachts in the river lowered their sails and flags in token of respect for ll:south. As soon as pratique was granted, the Mayor stepped on board, and was introduced to Xcateuth by Captain Weeks, the commander of the Madrid. All the suite of the Hungarian chieftain, with the liassengers, stood round deeply affected with the honour paid to the illustrious Magyar. Madame Kossuth was then introduced to the Mayor, but she was unable to speak, being so deeply affected. Kossuth's children were then presented to the Mayor—three in number, two boys and a girl, Yore interesting children. The Mayor kissed each of them. Kossuth himself was deeply affected during this interview, and could scarcely utter a word. The Mac °rand Kossuth then went l'elow nto the sa luon, and there entered into conversation. The Mayor informed Itieksuth of the reception he would meet with, of the deep sympathy which thousands of people in this' . country telt for him, and the gratitude and pleasure which all would experience at his safe arri val in England. It is worthy of mention, that Kossuth is much like the prints of hint in the booksellers windows. lle is about the middle height, with the hair from the hack of his head combed towards the crown. He has a moustache, and a bushy beard which comes under the chin. When speaking, his earnestness and benevolence are most striking. His looks betray the possession of great intellect and a mild disposi tion. Misers isof'a light colour. Madame Kossuth is a must interesting looking person, and does not look as if adapted fur the sorrows she has undergone. Nothing euuld exceed the deep interest she took in all the tokens of respect shown to her husband. ln talking with the Mayor in the saloon, Kossuth prised the hand of the Mayor as the latter told Lim of all the kind welcomes that awaited him, and seemed to acquiesce in everything that the Mayor proposed during Kossuth's stay in Southampton, as to taking up his residence with his worship, mid as to the bauquet and public meetings that were to he got up in his honour. After a lung conversation in the saloon, Kossuth and the Mayor took wine toge ther, and pledged health and'happiness to each other in the most affectionate manner. By this time the packet had arrived at the entrance of the dock, and the Mayor escorted Kossuth on deck. Here an in describable seem met their eves. The Mayor and Kossuth paraded the decks with thousands of people all round the edge of the docks waiting to give the liberated exile a magnificent reception. Cheers from an immense multitude rent the air as the Madrid passed through the mouth of the ducks. At the spot axed for the berth of the ship, a stupendous crowd of persons had assembled. Barriers were erected to keep the people front the ship, but they were broken down, and the masses pressed to the edge of the duck. A large party of Hungarians were present, and greeted Kossuth with maddened enthusiasm. The moat endearing terms apparently that 'the Hunga rian language would admit of were shouted out to Lim. It hilt in the duels, a number of persons came on board to greet him—among them were the Count and Countess l'ulski. The interview between the count and countess and Kossuth and Madame Kos suth was of the most affecting kind. They could not leak for several seconds; nll that surrounded them turned aside to shed tears. Kossuth also embraced Mr. Croskey, the American Consul, most affection ately. It was some time before the illustrious strangers could land, the mob was so great, anti so great was the anxiety to embrace him. A hand of music was in the ilekk to welcome him, and a splendid equipage to convey hint through the town. rostilions and horses were gaily decorated: two splendid Item- 11 garian lingo were affixed to the carriage, on the panels of which were the Hungarian arms. The I confusion in getting Kossuth, his family and friends ' into the carriage was tremendous; and the must serious accidents were imminent. No pen can de- I senile his reeeption. Thousands of people were 4 pressing round him to embrace him ; hunthyds of I TATMAN were shedding tears. There never has been seen such a scene in Southampton. At length the procession begun to move on, the band of music ' , Living lively airs, preceded by an array of standards Ana Sags. and the equipage in se hick was Kossuth ; mining slowly behind, on account of the crowd. Kossuth was obliged to stand up to acknowledge the Cheering and salutations of the crowds of persons that lined the windows and every available place where a glimpse of him could be caught. Such curiosity was never before wit nessed in this place. Well and poor, gentle and simple, strained every nerve, apparently to see the twin who has filled half the world with his name, whose sufferings and captivity have excited such intense sympathy and whose conduct and talents hare treated such admiration. After passing through the town amidst a perfect sea of waving hats and handkerthiets front every window, balcony, and housetop, he strived at the Mayor's residence. I should say that the procession St. pied before the American consulate, where Kossuth was greeted in the must affectionate scam r. On arriving at the Mayor's, Kossuth and In, family were literally taken out of the carriage and earned in doors. 1k received an extraordinary trieption from the Nlnsoes workmen as lie passca in dunce—scores of deep-mouthed labouring men cheered hint with thunder of applause. On arriving in the .Nluyor's private apartments, all the Hunipi vim magnates and soldiers crowded round and em braird him with the deepest reverence. Numbers of English gentlemen and ladies were introduced, who all expressed in their countenances as if deeply affected and overjoyed at his safe arrival, and at basing the honour of being introduced to this extra onlinury man. One sea or heads covered the street bereft the Nlnyor's premises, eagerly expecting Kos suth to come and address them. At length the illustrious Magyar was escorted to the balcony. Shouts rent the air, and the music struck up. When silence was restored, the Nlagyar commenced address. log the immense and eager crowd before hint. In speaking, he hesitates occasionally to commence a sentence, but he rarely halts in one. Ile may be said to be an effective speaker; his ideas seemed! as if they flowed from an F.nglishman. Kossent said-1 beg you will excuse my bad Eng lish. Seven weeks back I was a prisoner iu hiutayah, to 1 Asia 31inor. Now I am a tree man. (Cheers.) I am free man. because glorious England chose it, (('heers.) That England chose it which the genius of mankind se leet-il for the resting monument of its greatness, and the *Pint of freedom for his happy home. Cheered by your ernpathy, which is the anchor of hope to oppressed hums teetY with the view of your freedom, your maths'., and /out Misplaces; and with the consciousness of my unhappy send in my breast, you mount excuse me for the emotion I mod. the natural consequence of so striking a change and so nest circumstances. So excuse me for not being able 10 thank you AO warml as I feel fur the generous ncepti on v Inch you honour in my undesers lug person the cause of as country. I only hope that Almighty may for ever bless you tea your glorious land. Let me hope you will be willing to throw a ray of hope and con•olation on my native land by th:ssour generous reception. (Cheers.) May England be ever great, glorious, and free—(cheers)—but let me hope, by the blessing of Almighty God, and by our own steady perseverance, and by your own generous aid, that England —though she may ever remain the most glorious spot on earth—will not remain for ever the only one when free dom dwells. (Loud cheers.) People of the generous town of Southampton, in shaking hands with your mayor, my best and truest friend—[here M. Kossuth turned round to the mayor, and shook hands with his worship, amid loud theer.)-1 hare the honour to think you, and to salute you with the deepest respect—you, the inhabitants of the in dustrious, nuhte-minded, and prosperous city of Southampton. (Renewed cheer.) The presence on the lxileony of Madame Kossuth and her children was demanded by the crowd, and they were brought forward and cheered immensely. While Kossuth was speaking, the most profound attention was paid to him by the assembled masses. At half post four Kossuth attended ut the Town Hall, where all the corporation met him in their robes of office. The hall was filled with respectable persons, a number of them ladies. The Aldermen and Com mon Councilmen appeared iii their robes. Among tho strangers appeared Mr. Weld, Mr. Gilpin, Mr. George Dawson, M. Pulssy, Mr. Heinik, &c. A messenger came down from M: Kossuth to ask for a short respite—he felt rather indisposed after the vorage, but would appear at a quarter past five , o'clock ; and after 15 minutes' rest, punctual to , the moment, M. Kossuth entered, and was received with the wannest acclamations. Ile was accompa nied by the Mayor, who took him by the hand, and introduced hint to the members of the corporation and others. The Mayor then proceeded to address M. Kossuth in an energetic speech, and was loudly applauded throughout. lie pronoureed a very warmly-coloured panegyric on the es•governor's acts, character, and career, declared that England was determined to emancipate the whole world, and hoped the acorn planted in Hungary by Kossuth might rise up a mighty oak, to protect the rights and liberties of the people. 1k was satisfied the people of England looked on Kossuth us a great and noble man, equal to Sydney, to llamixlen, or to Washiugtor., and when he was laid in his grave his name would be handed down to posterity as their's had been. The address, which has already appeared in our columns, was then read by the town-clerk, Mr. Deacon, and was received by M. Kossuth amid great cheering. When it had subsided, Kussveit said,—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen of the municipality of the town and borough of Southampton, excuse me, an unpretending stranger, for not being able in your own Immo op to express the warmest sentiments of thanks and ger.itude fur the honour of your generous all ' come, and for those generous sentiments which you, Mr. Mayor, were pleased to address to me. (Cheers.) I was already, before my arrival, hound by lasting gratitude to the town of Southampton for numerous tokens of the most high-minded sympathy with the cause of my dear native land, and of protection to its exiles ; and, being unprepared f r the honour of this occasion, you will excuse a few words I may say inspired by your presence, and said to you without any preparation. (Cheers.) It is indeed an honour to Ise welcomed by the people of England in this noble town It is the highest gratification to me that it was the ntunicip ility of the first town I had the honour to meet which receives me in such a generous manner. It is not on this day only, but from my early youth, that this glorious country hod a mighty share in my destiny. (Cheers.) I was used to look on England as on the Book of Life, which had to teach me and the na bons of Europe how to live. (laud cheers.) Through three centuries the house of Austria has exhausted against Hungary the arts of open violence and of secret intrigue, and it was our municipal instituti 09 which still, among the most arduous circumstances, costumed to Hun gary some spirit of public life and some part of constitutional liberty. (Loud cheers.) It was at the time when this fatal sickness of political feeling to centralise every power, and to tutor the people into this notion of political wisdom—when this fatal sick ness, I say, spread over the Continent, and made its way even to my own country, so that it became almost the fashion, and almost a mark of intelligence, to bend towards the doctrine of ceutralisatioa, that I, my humble self, with a few friends who stood by me, struggled gainst this storm—against these rushing waves coming over the spirit of Europe, because I reganled, and I ever shall regard, municipal public life as a public benefit, without which there is no practical freedom whatever—(loud cheer.)—and for the loss of which I think all ministerial responsibilitit s and parliamentary privilege but a pitiful equivalent. (('heers.) In this land is seen the thiest fruits of this conquest of liberty—the glory outside, the freedom within, unwithered by the blighting huger of cen tralisation. (Cheers.) When first I read the French constitu tion I foretold that great and glorious French nation should yet have to po through many storm., because it did not abandon its fatal 'principle: of centr.distion ; and because it is only in municipal inetitutions freedom can be developed. (Cheers.) That is my conviction. Sir, I hope England will be for ever great, glorious, :and free ;" but when I look to history. and see what is this land and the English race, the only single one which is free in both hemispheres of the world, unit when I look for the key of this freedom I readily confess I believe that it is mot only those municipal institution., which are not absorbed by the propensity to centralisation, which so conserved that freedom, though under different forms of govern. ment,—here in England, under a monarchical form, in America, under a republican form—that it was not those institutions only, but the spit it of the people embo died in those institutions, wlich made these two great offsprings of a mighty race, gnat, glorious, and free. (Cheers.) Therefore, it is with the highest satisfaction I receive this address (rum your hands and from the corpo ration of Southampton. As to my own humble self, con scious of no merit, and never aspiring to whatever reputa tion, but to that of a plain honied mall, faithful to the duty of a true friend of freedom and of a patriot. I could not for. bear to feel perplexed to see myself the object of such un deserved honours, were I not aware that this generous manifestation is intended rather °molly to couute nonce that principle of freedom, of justice, of po pular rights, for which my nation so valiantly struggled, and which you so happily enjoy. (Loud cheers.) It is a glorious position the English race holds—almost the only one that is free. It is the only one the freedom of which has neither to fear the changes of time nor the ambi tion of man, provided it keeps to its institutions, pro vided that the public epirit of the people continues to safe guard that which is best fur the exigencies of the time,:and that their manly resolution never fails to inert those elf geocies in time. (Cheers.) This watchfulness end resole. lion being the chief guarantee of your country's greatness and happiness, I take for the most consoling hope to op pressed humanity; for I have the must conviction that the freedom and greatness of England are in intimate con nexion with the destinies and liberty of Europe. It is not without reason that my native land and all oppressed nations look up to you as to the elder brother, to whom the Almighty has not in vain imparted the spirit to guide the tide of human destiny. There is one thing that is a prominent feature in your race, —a result of uo small importance in our struggles,—that the sentiments of this race arc spreading over the world, and t►at it is not the least of the glories you call your own that the people of England appear to be resolved to take the kad in the new direction of the public opinion of the world. out of which the highest blessings will flow. The generous sympathy of the people of England fur my bleed ing, struggling, downtrodden, but no. broken, native land —(loud cheers),—is one, but not the only one manifesta tion, by which England shows she is ready to accept this glorious rile of the elder brother of humanity. (Cheers.) This country, though it has not to fear any direct attack on its own liberty, still knows that its welfare sad prosperity, founded as they are on the continued develop ment of your genius and industry, cannot be entirely inde pendent of the condition of other nations. The people of England know that in neither social nor political respects can it be iuditferent whether Europe be free or groaning under Russia and her satellites ; the people of England are conscious of their glorious position—it knows that, while it conserves its freedom, it cannot grant the privilege to Russo-Austrian despots to dispose of the fate of Europe, but must Dave its weight in the Wawa of the destinies of Europe, or En' land would no Mgt be an European power. (Loud cheers.) And it b knowledge which is the source of hope and consolation 0111 my oppressed country, as well as to all the fellow-neeitemei Europe, fur by the principle on which your freedom anti noes, and on which your happiness is founded, and by your generous sentiments, we are assured that, let the people of England once throw their weight into the balance of the fate of Europe, then they will never assist despotism, hex freedom—(cheers)—not injustice, but right—nit the ambi tion of a few families, but the moral welfare and dignity et humanity. (Cheer,.) Such were my expectations of the public spirit of Britannia, which you by this generous ad dress have raised to thelevel of conviction, by assuring me yen have the belief and hope that those principles for which we' have struggled have a future in my own native land. See- THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1851. ins you to entertain this hope and belief is almost like • victory in itself-- wheers)—because this manifestation can not fail to influence in the most effectual manner the public spirit of my nation, and to double her perseverance and my own in her cause. (Cheers.) And, beside., the prophecy of freedom is almost rcali•ed ; for when the people forctel it you have the self-c infldent power to make good your own words. I hope the Almighty will grant, before I leave this country and cross the mean, and go to the young giant, the younger brother of your mighty race, and thank him fur the generous protection bestowed on me, and entreat his brotherly hand far the future of Europe and my own country, that I shall see established in lull activity and spread over these glorious isles some of those mighty associations by which you carry the triumph of every great reform Cl! of every principle in your constitu tion. (Loud cheering.) I hope to see some of those associa tMns lending their attention to the solidarity of the indepen dence of Hungary, with the hope that the peace of Europe and tho future of these glorious isles will take fur its aim to give • practical direction to the sympathy of the people for my poor down-trodden country—that the people of England will look upon my unhappy land, and that they will reduce to a ruling principle that sense of the public spirit of Britannia which evidently shows it'd( to accept the solidarity of the destiny of mankind, and es. pecially of the liberty of Europe itself. (Cheers.) I thank you for the generous wishes you have bestowed on me. To me life in itself is not of value—but only so much as I can make some use of to the liberty and independ ence of my own country and to the benefit of humanity. (Cheering and applause.) And though I have to decline all praises bestowed on my personal character, as I ant con scious I Lave dune nothing but only that which I considered my own simple duty to be, while I ate sorry my modest faculties could nut equal my devotion to my native land ; still I take this expression as an encou ragement to go on in that way which I took for the aim of my life, and which I hope the blessingsof the Almighty and the sympathy of the people of England, and of all generous hearts over the world, may help to carry to a happy issue. (Ch cers.) Let me, in pronouncing a must sinecre wish for the happiness, greatne.s, and freedom of these glorious isles —let me repeat what I take to ben most glorious sight to see—your gracious queen representing on the throne the principle of liberty—(cheers); and let me hope the acknow ledgment of this principle will not only have a future in Europe, but that the time draws near when we shall have to applaud the success of those endeavour. which now live in your generous sympathy, even in adversity and misfortune. But it is a much greater merit to acknowledge a principle in adversity than to pay a tribute to its suedes. (Loud cheers.) Ent/FC me that my worth cannot flow more freely; my torgue has been devoted to my own native land. I have not had time to participate to myself a greater know ledge of the western civilisation of Europe, bat my lite has been devotes! to admiration of England— (great cheer•)—Lot never was there a moo who appre. dated better your institutions than myself, and you never will meet a man more taithfully devoted to you, and who has a warmer sentiment of thanks and gratitude towards you and towards your glorious land of liberty. At the conclusion of this address the meeting ruse and cheered M. Kassuth repeatay, and when thu noise had subsided a voice exclaimed, Three groans for the Austrian tyrant" which was responded to by three loud groans forthwith. The Major then presented M. Kossuth with the flag worked by some Hungarians in New York. His worship in presenting it, expressed a hope that M. Kossuth might yet live to tight victorious under it in the country of his birth, and gave him a slight sketch of its history. M. Kossuth took the flag, pressed it to his bosom, and said, with energy,--I receive, gentlemen, this • flag as the most valuable trust intrusted to the people of Hungary, and 1 swear to you whatever be our fate, cowardice and ambition shall never tarnish this flag. Great cheering and applause, after which M. Kos suth handed the flag to Mr. Cruskey, the American Consul. An address from the working men and inhabitants of the town, as distinguished from the corporation, signed by 1,100 persons was then read by Mr. Falvey. M. Kossurn replied-1 feel deeply moved by the glorious expression of these generous sentiments worthy of those men who have raised by that great gift of God—industry, their country to be the hying wonder of the world. (Cheers.) Happy the people where the public authorities, being at the head of the people, share the noble sentiments of the people itself; and happy the country where the noble senti ments of the people are elevated to the pitch of a principle. I consider these addresses as the proudest treasures of my life, from which myself, my children, and my countrymen must ever draw a continual im pulse to be Initlititl to the principles which the people of England have honoured. (Loud cheers.)' Three loud cheers were then given for the Queen, three cheers and one cheer more were given with good will for Louis Kossuth and the cause of Hun gary. Another cheer at the Mayor's suggestion, was then given for " Madame Kossuth and family. Three cheers were given for the Mayor himself, for which he returned thanks. Kossuth, with his family, suite and compa nions, formed 16 persons on board the Madrid; some of his companions were dressed in the beauti ful Magyar military costume, and were remarkably handsome men. The meeting between seine of these and their compatriots who had escaped to England was most affet:ting. Kossuth was dressed in a braided frock coat. His hat was the round, narrow and curled brimmed one, something like the Tyrolean hat. He had orange-coloured gloves. His manners are graeatal. Every one on board seems to have formed the greatest respect and affection for him. Captain Weeks and all the passengers wished him adieu in the most affectionate and respectful manner as he left the ship. THIS DAY. t, Oct. 21, 10 A.X. M. Koesuth, Madame Kossuth, and three children, accompanied by the mayor and the chieftain's secre tary, are now departing for his worship's country mansion, within a mile of Winchester, which they will reach by 12 o'clock. The party proceed in the mayor's private carriages, each drawn by four horses. A large concourse of persons are assembled, and are cheering the Ex-Governor of Hungary most en thusiastically. Up to a late hour last night the streets were crowded with the admirers of the illustrious exile, and at every few yards apart were to be heard bal lad-singers chaunting the heroism of the "Glorious Kossuth i" while, in front of the mayor's town resi dence, were to be seen some thirty of his captains parading, as if doing honour to their chief by their watchfulness, the most distinguised among them being Col. Gal. The Mayor gave up his town house last night to M. Kossuth and his suite, and himself and family slept at the Royal York Hotel, immediately opposite the residence liOnoured by the occupation of the dis tinguished guest. immediately after the presentation ofthe addresses at the Guildhall, the Mayor sent an express off to Winchester, ordering his establishment to prepare for the reception of M. Kossuth and family at his country house, where he is to remain until alter the corporate banquet on Tuesday next. The people of Winchester are making great efforts to do honour to the entry of the Hungarian chief, who will be met by them within two miles of the town by a demonstration equal at least to that which greeted his arrival here yesterday. A considerable number of ladies and gentlemen are departing by railway . for Winchester, to join in the demonstration preparing there to hail the arrival of the exiles. undying faith in the inherent power of truth and righteous ness, and we look forward with confidence to the time when your beloved Hungary will be enabled to agaiu resume her i proper place among the independent nations of the earth. j Till then we bid you he of good cheer; for if there is anything in this world really great, it is the firm determination of a nation, advancing without bring wearied fur a moment, to the conquest of its rights : ' Which counts neither its wound•, nor its days without rest, no: its nights without sleep, and which says within itself—What is all that? Justice and liberty are worthy of many other toils.' l'ardion us for saying that, as a mind of our affection for your holy cause, we have for the last five months sustained twelve of your companions in arms. They are a portion of the NO who lanieed at Liverpool from Shunda, in March' lost. You will be as glad to learn, as we are to inform you, that they are happy and contented in their adopted home. Should it be compatible with your arrangement., it would' be to us a source of devout pleasure to welcome you to New castle-on-Tyne. Our townsmen would rejoice at having the privilege of seeing, face to face, one whose name is with us a ' household word.' " Believe us to be, honoured and much esteemed sir, every where uud to the end, yours unalterably, " ALex. tirritiste, Chairman. " Jim. Covets, Jun., Secretary." The greatest excitement prevails amongst all classesin this town respecting the arrival of the ex-Governor of Hungary. If he should be prevailed upon to visit Newcastle, he will receive a welcome from men with hearts as warm as their own sea coal fires. The public meeting will be hi Id on Tuesnlay evening. Sir Jahn Fife, Geo. Crawshay, Esq., and other influential inhabitants, will take a part in it. PORTUGAL. Our Lisbon correspondent writes as follows on the 19th : The operatives have had a meeting to congratulate Kos suth. 1 will endeavour to get a copy of their address to him. lie arrived on the 'lto in the packet from the south, and was complimented by the civil governor in the bout which had bctn placed at his dispoml for disembarkation by the Minister of the Interior. Thus, while in England all are in anxious expectation respecting him, his arrival here bus Iwconie known only to a few, or in all probability the whole population world have been in motion to have seen him, some from sympathy, some from curiosity, and others only to vent their spleen that lie has estaped front the tiger's claws. I regret Clot I am nut able to describe his reception here, having been unable to be present at it, and therefore will defer it.

PROJECTED TUNNEL UNDER THE MEILSET.— LtuuttrooL, Our. 23. Mr. Cunningham, architect and civil engineer, of Liverpool, whose nuble struc ture, the Philharmonic-hull, entitles his opinion to some weight, has submitted a project to the directors of the various railway companies, interested in the communi cation between Birkenhead and Liverpool, for a railway to cross the Mersey, and thus connect Birkenhead and Liverpool for all kinds of transit. We have already stated that the Great Western Railway Company have, by an arrangement with the Shrewsbury and Cheshire Junction Companies, secured a passage of their line as far as Birken head, upon an agreement to abandon their project of crossing the Mersey by tunnel at Runcorn. It is plain that an iron tube, on the Stephenson plan, across such a river as the Mersey, is out of the question, first, on the ground of expense; and secondly, because the pier!, which would be necessary to support it, would so impede the currents as to cause vat deposits in the bed of the stream. The conservators of the river, in fact, would successfully oppose any such project. Mr. Cunningham ineptness to sink an iron tube in the bed of the river, buried so completely helots the surface thereof, that there would be no more obstruction to the currents than at present. The tube would have perpendicular sides and an arched roof. It would be placed in a prepared bed, and would be protected outwardly by various contrivances which Mr. Cunningham is prepared to submit to those interested in furthering the design. Internally there would be two lines of rails running on each 'Mk of the tube, with a pas sage iii the middle for pedestrians. The entire work Mr. Cunningham estimates would cost not more than 2+0,0001, and it would form a complete means of transit fur goods, railway passengers, and pedestrians between Liverpool and Birkenhead, besides opening a communication to and from Liverpool for all the railways (aiding the Cheshire junction. WRECK OF THE MARY GRAY.—The north-cast coast of England was, as our readers are aware, visited during the last week of September by a violent storm, which was productive of much loss to shipping. During the 26th day of that month, the Mary Gray, of Montrose, was driven on the Long-scar Rocks, near Seaton Carew, on the coast of Durham. The unfortunate vessel struck about 11 a.m., at the distance of about half a mile from the shore. One hour afterwards she capsized and drilled amid a tre mendous sea to within about one hundred yards of the cliffs. The four men who formed her crew clung to the main shrouds, and were covered with the clouds of spray from every sea which struck the wreck. The Seaton life boat (which had already attempted the rescue of seven of tl.e crew of the brig Roscoe, of Dundee, lost at the same time) was again launched, and succeeded in making fast to the wreck. As, however, she thus hung on by a rope and grapnel, her broadside was exposed to die enormous breakers which extended as far as the esc could reach, and twice it was thought she would be upset. One of these mountain waves snuck her with such violence as to throw three of her crew over her gunwale, and one of these had a narrow escape. Though two of Carte's life-preservers were immediately thrown to him, he probably never saw them, and his convulsive efforts to catch at anything within his reach were terrific. A thousand persons watched his struggles in an agony of suspense, without the power to render assistance ; and the crew of the life-boat, seeing that their comrade was fast drowning, were obliged to abanden the poor fellows upon the wreck, and succeeded in pulling him into the boat in a nearly exhausted state. He was landed at Seaton Carew, and immediately attended by a surgeon. The gallant attempt of the life-boat being thus rendered abortive, Carte's rockets were next resorted to ; and at the fourth discharge the line was sent exactly over the middle of the wreck. The crew were, however, by this time reduced to such a state of exhaustion as to be unable to haul in the necessary haustr, life preservers, &c.; and those engaged in attempts to relieve them from their awful situation scarcely knew what steps to take, when it was suggested to warp a large coff ee (containing a tablespoonful of rum) to the exhausted mariners. Its effect was admirable. It idler wards appeared that they hail not tasted food that day. Renewed strength was given them, the hawser was drawn over to the wreck, and one by one the sailors were safely brought to land amid the cheers of the crowds upon the neighbouring cliffs, after they had remained exposed to a tremendous sea upon the broadside of their ship for up wards of six hours. Five of the crew of the Roscoe before referred to as wrecked at the same place, were most gal lantly rescued by the crew of the life-boat belonging to West Hartlepeol, but not before one of the sailors had died in the rigging, and another been unhappily lost in attempting to board the boat. —North Wain Chrwaick.

The roof is to be retained as it is in its improved state; hut the benches and other funiiture of the Wily of the chamber are undergoing considerable alteration , . The reporters' and strangers' galleries are also to be altered, and when the alterations are completed, the house will present a much more agreeable appearance than it did at the end of last session. The yards and sheds in the immediate neighbour hood of the house, in which the masons worked in New Palace-yard, are about to be removed, and are to be recon structed 011 an abutment close to Westminster-bridge, where piles have been sunk ; and a plathinn is iu the course of formation for the workmen's sheds being built upon it. Sine° the sale of the materials of the old House of Commons and House of Lords, the new buildings have presented a very unsightly appearance, but now that the old buildings are almost entire y removed the beauty of the new buildings become apparent. The new window con structed at the western end of Westminster Hall is now shown to great advantage, and attracts general attention from its architectural beauty. When the ruins are re moved from Old Palace-yard, the exterior of the new House of Lords will be seen to advantage. The old build ings, which hid the view, are pretty nearly taken away, and the proportion of the buildings and their general effect arc becoming more unfolded. The main entrance to either House of Parliament is to be through Westminster Hall, as we have said on a former occasion. The peers sad commoners passing fiom Westminster Hall along the cor ridor leading to the centre of the building—the peers turn ing to the right and the commoner, to the left. NIORETONIIAMESTEAD FARMERS' (LINT.—On Tues day the eighth anuual ploughing match of this club took place in a held on Dante Court estate, in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Amory. in the parish of Lustleigh, about two miles from Moreton. After the ploughing about 60 mem bers of the club and agriculturists of the district dined at Cann's White Hart, Mo:eton, presided over by John N. Stevenson, Esq., of Hayek,. The Chairman, in proposing the toast of " Success to the Moreton Farmers' Club," said that, when he reflected on the state of the room seven years since, when the company were presided over by the Earl of Devon, who was supported by noble lords, members of par liament, and other influential gentlemen, and the company then with cheerful hearts and full glasses cheered lustily to a similar toast he was about to propose to them—he could not do so but with a pang of regret, seeing as he did so many vacant places then at the board. (Hear, hear.) The cause of so small an attendance that day did not, in his opinion, arise from the want of good men and true in the district, or from the association not being, as some of his friends had stated, of no benefit. (Hear, hear.) Ho con sidered the causes of its not prospering as was originally anticipated arose, not only from the serious change that had taken place with regard to agriculture generally, but also, in a great measure, from the tact of many who attended those meetings being in the habit of taking up one or two of the claptraps of the day, sticking solely to them, and using such strong language with reference to the landlords, that they found their neighbours did not rally round them. Mr. Fowler, who had attended their meeting on a former occa sion, and might be considered as a neighbour, had attended • a meeting at Tavistock, and there made a speech in which he (the chairman) could not coincide. (Hear, hear.) Ito (the chairman) appeared before them as an humble individual, living on a small property in the neighbour hood, and not as a public man, seeking place and cringing to them as a burly of constituents, or saying that which he wished to palm off, and nut believe; but, speaking his hum ble opinion as an individual, which every man in this coun try has a right to do, he would ask them whether Mr. Fowler was justified in making the cruel and uncalled-for attack he did at Tavistock on the landlords ? What was the purport of his speech at Tavistock ? Not one single word did he say to them of farming, his information in that respect having taken flight ; but ho set too and made • butt of the landlords and the clergy, telling the tenants farmers that they had no right to be satisfied with a dis count, and rather than he would submit to such insolence be would trample the paper containing the offer under his feet, and called on them to do the same. He (the chair man) could riot believe that the landlords were to blame for remitting their tenants 10, it, and 20 per cent : , or that the tenantry considered they were treated by their landlords in so doing with insolence, and therefore he threw back the insinuation with disgust, Mr. Fowler not being justified in saying what he had. The landlords had always been ready to go hand in hand with the tenantry in their distress and to do their utmost to relieve them from it. The word insolence was a sharp term; and he as a small landlord would not submit quietly to hear a man say that the landlords of this county or England treated their d tenantry try with d innosotle:tetec.ndAnthotermreeeastuinngw. was hyhe th t a h t oi th ig e h y t p. were in the habit of having chairmen of station, unknown to the district, who used language unsuitable to the district. The hon. gentleman having made some other obvervations, concluded with proposing the toast, which was received with cheers. Several other toasts followed, after which the company separated.—L.reter Flying Poet. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. One of the most prominent features in the British machinery department took its departure yesterday, and ; was safely conveyed to its permanent location. We mean the monster engine of tiro Great Western Railway Com pany, which was rolled out of the Crystal Palace in the morning, and drawn in safety by the united strength of 18 horses to the Paddington terminus. This locomotive monster, which weighs 29 tons, on first emerging in the ; read, buried its wheels in tire gravel, but was at length per suaded to more, and performed the rent of the journey in a • reasonable manner. The other articles of bulk in the Mlle district are rapidly disappearing, hut on the opposite side our continental neighbours are nut so active in their move ments as the Executive Committee could wish. The fin premien is that they are endeavouring to make sales, but are retarded is their object by the prohibition against tho entry of any persons into the building except Exhibitors. Much activity was exhibited in the Indian department in the assortment, under the superintendence of Dr. Hoyle, of a number of valuable articles about to he presented by the East India Company to her Majesty. They are to consist of specimens of the beautiful Dacca muslin, costly shawls, Indian carpets, jewellery, and filagree plate, and are to he forwarded to Windsor forthwith, to which place Messrs. Dilke, Cole, Colonel Reid, and Dr. Lyon l'lnytair were suinnomed yesterday. For the particulars mid result of their visit we refer our readers to the "Court Circular." It is rumoured that, in addition to the eeremanial de scribed in the " Circular," a derision was come to by the ivy al commission, awarding to Sir Joseph Paxton the sum of 3,000/. for Lis services in designing the Crystal Palace. JCIIIIT.S EXCLUDED FIZLIM COMPETITION AT •filE Ex eilittioN.—The list of jurors who were also exhibitors wits, it now appears, published in a very incomplete state, because the jurors do not always exhibit in the class in which they are jurors, although other juries may, as in the MSC of that for printing and dyeing, enter into several elapses. As it is of great importance to obtain a correct hot of jurors who have been eat:laded from competition, cir culars arc being issued requestit.. , jurors to state if they or the firm to which they belong been in any way ex cluded from competition by having accepted other.

Tho Gahrrey Indicator of yesterday lets the fol lowing account of the very favourable auspices under which the new session in the Western College, in spite of adverse circumstances, has opened : We believe that ad attempts to arrest the progrese of sound mixed education will 'wave utterly abortive in this country. The experience of each succeeding day strengthens us in this opinion. In Galway, where the whole strength of the opponents of mixed ethic:atoll was put forth, the new • ge is completely triumphauts At the matriculations to day and yesterday, the number of fresh students entering the eolle.te amounted to ten nty-eight. From the sound system of education adopted in the Galway College, and the acknowiedgill ability of the several professors, it was reasonably supposed that there would, at least, be no fall ing Wunder any oireninstances f. but we were tot prepared to expect so large an increase to the number of the students who have already matriculated. The fact of such an addi tion to the ranks of mixed education in Galway, is, in it self, a sufficient protest against env interference with that freedom of opinion which an enFghiened laity will be ever found ready to appreciate and susmin. At the October ex aniinahons last year there were only thirteen matriculated student., which tact rendets the present increase the mare significant, aa.l gives a strong guarantee of the future suc cess of the institution. Tippermy has been stained with another a grar i an murder. The circumstances are thus related by a local correspondent of Sounder's News Le ter:— Yeqerday evening (Monday) a most atrocious murder took place at Ballytartact, :about hour nab.* from Littleton, and Ma front Cashel, and alter such an interval of quiet as the country has enjoy d. it is painful to find that Tipperary should be disgraced by such foul crimes—crimes which havo tended so much to prevent the influx of capital, and injured the position of the peasantry by preventing employment. It appears that the Rev. Mr. Draper, who has wane clerical preferment, lately to-came the tenant to fann, the property of Captain Lanphier, and front which several tenantry had been ejected, and a bad feeling was since that period dis played towards the new occupant, and those acting sunder him, in tilling the ground. Yesterday, the Rev. Mr. Draper went to the lands from Littleton, and remained on them until near dusk, when he g o t int o his gig in order to return home, accompanied by his bailiff; a man of the name of James Donnelly, who is married, snit hits a large Jollity. They had driven but a short distance when it became very dark, and when close to several houses by the road side a shot was tired front the hedge, and at the side at which Mr. Draper was drivin4. That woodsman at the momenttwas stooping down to arrange a portion of tho harness, nua was thus providentially saved from the aim of the assassin, but the ball entered the bark part of the head of Donnelly, and traversing the base of the skull of the un fortunate moue , came out in front. No further idiot was tired, and the moment Mr. Draper arrived in Littleton the police turned cut, and in consequence of what they heard several persons were arrested, and are now in custody. ,• Several of those who lived quite close to the scene of this dreadful occurrence were also arrested, and one and all ' deny that they heard the reports of any lire arms, although this could nut have ken possible. Di. Bradshaw came Irma Thurles, and rendered every possible attention to the bailiff, but the wound is mortal, and before this lie is dead. An investigation is now being held, and some very important facts ascertained. The tenant-right meeting at Newtownartls, against which the Marquis of Londonderry had issued his proclamation under the title of" office circular," took place notwithstanding on Tuesday, in the vicinity of the Belfast and County Down Railway termi nus in that town, and was, according to the testi mony of an adverse paper, the naiad News Letter, pretty well attended, about 700 persons, principally farmers, being present. The chair was taken by Mr. Alexander Minnos, a tenant titrmer, and among those on the platform were several presbyterian cler gymen. The principal speakers were the Rev. Julius '.ll‘Cullogh, the Rev. John Rogers, of Comber; the Rev. David Bell, of liallybay ; the ltev. John M'Crcedy, of Saintfield ; the Rev. Mr. Black; Dr. *Knight, of liellkst ; Mr. Wm. Orr, Mr. Greenfield, &c. The speakers agreed in approving of Mr. Shar man Crawford's tenant right bill as it now stands, and in excusing Lord Londonderry, and throwing upon his advisers the odium of his lordship's recent notice. A correspondent of .Ssrmders's News-Letter gives the following partienlars about the West of Ireland Land Investment Company : The principal promoter of the company is Mr. William Digby Seymour, a leading member of the outer bar on the northern circuit, who is himself an Irislunnn by birth, and one who has hitherto been identified with every movement in England boring for its object the amelioration of his native country. Some time ago he published a treatise on the west of Ireland as a field fur English enterprise ; but being intended mainly for private circulation, it did little more than enlist the favourable attention and elicit the views of a few persons of influence and fortune, who pro posed to consider the subject with a view to carrying out the great undertaking shadowed forth in Mr. Seymour's pamphlet. The objects of the company are as follow :To purchase estates in Cunuaught, and to develop their agri cultural and industrial resources in every way likely to be profitable; to lay them out in large farms after the best method, and let them on leases to men with espied to work the land as in Eng land or Scotland. It is proposed that there should be a provision in the tenants' s binding them to grow certain quantities of sugar-Ixet and flax at stipulated prices, no that the factories—which constitute an important feature in the plan—should be insured a full and steady supply of the raw material. This is deemed a necessary precaution, at all events while the new manufactures are in their infancy. Mines, fisheries, marble quarries, and all such-like subjects for your unemployed labour, arc, I am informed, to be within the purview of their charter, which is already ap plied for. The feeling in England is at the present moment more favourable to the investmentof capital in Ireland than it has been for a long time, but capitalists are sadly puzzled how to go about the task. The field is wide, and the labourers are many, but the difficulty is how to set them at work. The conviction is universal that there could not be a better scope for enterprise, if people only knew how to com mence. Mr. Seymour proposes to substitute the united efforts and energies of associated action for the hitherto trifling and generally unsuccessful attempts of ill-supported individuals. His theory is to develop at once agriculture and manufactures—to bring them into immediate and necessary connexion—to create a market at the farmer's door, while at the same time you relieve him from the pleasure of a superabundant agricultural population, by employing the surplus not required for the field in manta facturmg the productions of the soil close to the spot where they are raised.
