He came, an exile, to return thanks for the sympathy shown by Englishmen in his cause and fate, and for the successful efforts made to obtain his release. It is difficult to say which was greatest, the enthusiasm which welcoined him, or his elo quence which hen made the mast of that welcome. Kamera began by a char and simple statement of bow Hungary had been oppressed, of how the attempt hail been made to betray . her, and to confiscate her traditional liberties and Independ ence, arid how nothing wits left to him but to stand forth, as he had done, in her armed defence. There was no hearer or reader of this, Ku SSUTII . B first harangue, delivered at Winchester, who was not won by its force, its fairness, its self-proved and over whelming truth. With respect to the past, indeed, there did not exist a doubt or a shade of difference as to the righteousness of the cause, the nobleness and courage with which it was defended, or that high integrity in Kossem himself, to which CA , IMIR BATIITANI has given his unimpeachable testimony. Whatever calumnies were uttered against the past life of Kosserit we may forbear to mention, nor deign to refute, the public having done ample justice by them in putting on its trial the journal which made itself the channel of them, and which has been reduced ' this very week to make a most pitiable defence. There are, however, another class of objectors to Kosseril, who admit the fairness of his past efforts, but whoentertain fears nod scruples of the witeloin,and the respectability of his present hopesand future efforts for the liberation of bus country. Some of these seem to have expected that Komi:Yu was coin ing here to enjoy a merely personal triumph and congratulation; that after his years of struggle and their untoward end, he should consider himself as vanquished, give over his inve teracy to the House of Austria, and either sit down in acquiescence with the regime that friciiwsrezesitiaat has imposed upon his country, or at least refuse to expect, or to exert himself for, any mode of liberation, save such as Providence might send in a constitutional and peaceable shape. Such friends and admirers ati these Loris Kos- Krill has certainly disappointed. Wedded to one idea, the right, the independence, the free dom of his country, he is not disposed to Max one effort or compromise one principle. Lord elseestreee said of HAMPDEN that lie was a man who, when lie drew the sword, flung away the scabbard. Kossevi is the fitment:ls of Hungary. He fought long under the constitutional banner be fore courts of justice and within the precincts of par liament. But when an insidious court and a deceitful King appealed to violence, 11.tmeor.s did the same. And Its country, as well as the world, revere his name. To blame Kossevii for not despairing to see his country free, to admire his past energy, yet turn against his present efforts, were a queer compromise between the rightful and the prudent. 'fro cavil with him fur any future views that he may have respecting the government of Hungary, were cap tious and premature. Do we nprociele the name of Wasnisaacie for having, monarthiet as he was, proclaimed and he..ded u republic ? Was Louis the Sixo:ENTil a Jacobin fur having aided him ? It does not behove England herself, any more than KOSSUTIE, to be squeamish as to the nature of their allies. Our dignity, our European influence, our commerce, our liberal existence and ideas, are at this moment me naced and insulted by Austria. She excludes with insolence oar vessels from her ports; her prohibition system she has extendisl by the sword over Italy, annexing Tut an to her empire, and making Naples her prefecture; in North (hi-many her (Shirts to exclude our trade and nullify oar influentc have been equally strenuous. If the French cabinet is stirred against us by jea lousies about Egypt or Morocco, we infallibly find Austnati suggestions at the bottom of all. In fact, our arch-enemy in Europe is at this moment, Austria, active, insolent, and intriguing. In such a state of semi-hostility, are we to look closely to the nature, and question the respectability, of the allies that fortune motels us Are we to repudiate with, over-sensibility that liberal party in Italy, which burns to avenge itself and vindicate its rights? Ik.mocratie revolution freed Prance first from one branch of the Bourbons, then from the other, and just at the moment when each was joining in an European alliance against England. Are we to be fools to regret their downfal, or to aid in their resto ration ? Italy freed, no matter under what form of government, would welcome our trade, listen to our counsels, and adopt our political tendencies and ideas. Are we' to turn away from such a prospect in order to embrace his Majesty of NATLES, and adore his Holiness the POPE? And if we should be the fools so to sacrifice our interests, are we to ex pect Kimsey', to be such ? Tho Iluninuian patriot is now on his way to America. Ile will there bo welcomed by republi cans-41y democrats, perhaps—by men who abhor the old tly mimic rule of Europe, and who are ready to make great sacrifices in behalf of one who seeks to re• hoist the standard of popular freedom on the Danube. Is Kosserit to turn cold from these glorious offers? Is he, maiden-like, to hesitate, to stipulate for the monarchy that crushed, or stickle for the aristocracy that deserted, his country? As a man of sense and frankness, and as a son of Hun gary, Kosserit will do none of these things. He will accept the sympathy that is given, the succour that is offered; and none but au Austrian could seriously censure him on that account. BISUOP WILBERFORCE talents which con fer great weight on what possesses talents writes. Smooth and graceful in expression, eloquent beyond most of his contemporaries, gifted with mast musical voice and a genial richness of style, of fascinating man ners, and compensating for the want of true tact by a sometimes too transparent art, be is preeminently fitted to influence large assemblies, and to become a great clerical leader. As a churchman, he is ani mated by a spirit as truly prelatical as ever charac terised the most priestly of the eons of Rome ; as a Christian, with no small alloy of the worldly pru dence and self-seeking which distinguish his order. Nevertheless. ho deserves respect for a degree of I piety for which he rarely gets credit. His gifts and accomplishments, the skill and address with which they have beau turned toaccount, and the success they have achieved, have injured the Bishop's religious reputation. Two elements are plainly discernible in his nature. From his father and his father's school, he gained an insight into the essence of vital personal religion: from his own friends, NEWMAN, PENES', KEBLE, and others of the Oxford school, he caught the sacerdotal spirit, and the principles of a system most congenial with his thirst far spiritual power. He never possessed strength of character or power of thinking (seal to the task of amalgamating three heterogeneous ingredients into unity. For the Bishop is the sport of alternating and discordant impulses, and though most covetous of the renown of high intellect, is a remarkably confused and feeble reasoner. These opposite qualities come out prominently in the Charge which Dr. WILBERFORCE delivered the other day at Aylesbury, on commencing the Trien • nial Visitation of his Diocese. There are many pee' sages in it which do honour to his religious feeling, as well as to his activity and earnestness in the dis charge of his office. It is satisfactory to learn that, though busily employed as an coclesiseticel politi cian, the Bishop of ORFORD has found time to join, 'during three years, in the ordinary services of 99 churches ; and we must forgive the vanity of his ac curate remembrance for the sake of the duty so done. His observations on the chaunting or reading of the service are full of good sense, and may be well recom mended to the careful study of his colleague of London. And an admirable contrast to the carelessness and and irreligiousness of past years is exhibited by the pressing on the clergy "the duty of strict conscien- THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21. 1851.

The announcement of the conclusion (Kundigang) of the current term of the Zollverein in 1833, and its renewal at that period, is published to-day in the Preussische Zeitung in the following note, addressed to all the Zollverein states : According to instructions received from his court, the undersigned hastens to make the following communication with respect to the all'airs of the Zollverein: The duration of the great Zoll and commercial erein is fixed by the treaty of Bth May, 1841, until the last day of December, 1843. With the Ist January, 1854, c new Zell verein period commences. But it is provided in the above mentioned treaty, that when, on the one side or the other, there should cant a wish that the treaty should not remain unaltered during a new period, that such wish should be announced at latest two years before the expiration of the current term. The Prussian government, as is intimated by the union of the Steurvcrein with the Zollverein of the 7th Sept., is now in the po sition to express its pur pose to carry out a new Zollverein period, under such mo difications as mediately or immediately, on one side or the other, may appear by this new treaty to be rendered desi rable by the members of the Zollverein. As the extreme term fur a declaration in this matter according to the provi• sion of the Bth article of the treaty of the Bth May, 1811, ap proaches, the Prussian government believes that in order to satisfy the requirement of the treaty, it cannot omit to ad dress the present declaration to all the governments belong ing to the Zollverein; but with no other object than not to neglect an announcement formally requisite for the opening .of negotiations for the continuance • of an enlarged Verem. Prussia believes, in fulfilling this duty, that she will thereby be authorised tuact, not only in her own name, but in the name also of the other allied states, some of whom have brought several points of the present Zell 'cereal conditions in question. l'he Prussian government has the firmest belief that the members of the Vercin will understand all the relative bearings of the subject, and will share with her the conviction, that by their farther una nimous co-operation, there will be complete success in car rying on the Zollverein on a broader basis, in union with the Stenerverein. No state can more sincerely desire than Prussia that the beneficent effects which have hitherto resulted from this commercial league may be extended to other states, to the promotion of the material interests and welfare of all. The Prussian government has the fullest reliance on the efforts of its allies to uphold and extend this institution. _ . From the very nature of the subject under consideration, and to attain to satisfactory solutions of many questions that have been raised, there is a necessity fora common con sultation. The Prussian government has therefore the honour to invite allithe governments belonging to the Zoll verein to send confidential deputies to Berlin on the tint month of next year fur this purpose. Circumstances may possibly permit an earlier meeting of these deputies. If so, an invitation will be sent specifying the exact time when these COlifert`OCCS will be most convenient. Prussia pursues no exclusive interests, but would sacri lice in some measure her peculiar interests to obtain a par ticipation in them for other states. Judging front results which a lon experience has brought fully to light, from the common objects of the Verein, and from a sense of justice and fairness towards all her confederates. the go vernment of Prussia trusts, that the views and wishes of other states will be sufficiently met by the statement of her propositions, which will be shortly more particularly com municated. . . . Should only the same sentiments and the same spirit ani m.te the members of the Vcrcin which animated them when the institution was first founded, the Vcrein will be greatly strengthened by widening its circumference, and the benefits that hare hitherto resulted from it will be greatly increased.

The following patent, announcing the late King of Ilanover's death, and the accession of his son George the Fifth to the throne, appears under the date of the 18th in the Gazette for North Germany: George the Fifth,by God's grace King of Hanover, Royal Prince of Great Britain and Ireland, Duke of Cumberland, Duke of Brunswick and Luneburg, &c., &c.

We, our royal house, and our subjects, are thereby plunged into the deepest grief. But by virtue of the order of succession existing in our royal house, t government of the kingdom of Hanover is transmitted to us, which we now make known to our subjects and the constituted authorities of our kingdom. We promise here by, at the same time pledging thereto our royal word, Me in ride , ' c 'maintenance of the cmatitution of the country.

We have received, by way of Vienna, dates two days later than our last from Constantinople. All the intrigues for the disgrace of Reschid Pasha had been defeated. Sir Stratford Canning had presented to the Porte a very energetic demand for reparation for the insult offered to the English flag in the per son of M. Fenblanire, the British consul at Bel grade. The financial economics have begun by the war department, whose functionaries have suffered the proportional reduction of salary, which will be extended to all public cmployels. The other plans of the Minister of Finance have been in great part approved by the Sultan. It was pro posed to coin some new beshliks (pieces of five piastres), of fictitious value, in order to withdraw trots circulation the paper-money which drains the treasury by the interest it bears. This plan has been strongly opposed in the superior council, but if insisted upon by Halls' Pasha, whose influence in financial affairs bears down all opposition, it will end by being adopted. The same minister has re cently prevented two high functionaries from setting out for their posts before discharging their debts to the treasury, and exiled on the same account two Armenian bankers.

It is isamtmt to nod* the attitude aMumed by' LouisNapo and hit ministers in the debate Siff proceeding on the Communal Electoral Last Alt though no positive official statement has been made on this subject, we may gather, from the abstention of his personal friends, and of the only three ads nisfers belonging to the Assembly, from the debatn and divisions on the clauses, that the government washes its bands entirely of all responsibility with regard to the present bill, which is the direct son sequence of the rejection of the electoral bill pre sented by the government. M. Thorigny has conse quently deputed his secretary, M. Leroy, as the go vernment's commissioner, to speak in the present debate, and absents himself altogether from the dis cussion of the most important measure which can concern his department. I find in the government lithographic correspond ence sent to-day to the prefects, the following pat sage, which defines well the attitude of the Presi dent and his ministers :—" The government has not to meddle with this debate. It has been wished to make an electoral law without its co-operation. Its bill has been thrown out, without condescending even to discuss it. It would be wanting to its own dignity if it interfered in a work iu which its con currence has been rejected." After the Communal Electoral Bill has been voted , there will be moved by the committee an additional article, applying all clauses, except those specially relating to municipal matters, to political elections. One proposal has been made in the committee for applying in the political elections the domicile to the canton instead of the commune. M. Leon Faucher created much sensation in the Assembly to-day, by declaring that the surrender of triennial domicile was the disbanding of the majority. In the sitting of the Assembly to-day the debate on the Communal Electoral Bill was resumed. de Larcy proposed, in the name of the committee, an amendment reducing the term of domicile for citizens not born in the commune, nor having satisfied therein the law of recruitment, front three years to two. M. de Laroclajacquelin moved a still further reduc tion to eighteen months. The latter term was re jected. The term of two years was combatted with energy by M. Leon Faucher, as a concession on the part of the conservative majority, which be tokened its abasement, and as a desertion of the law of May 31. M. Odilon Barrot conjured the Assembly to occupy itself less with extreme councils, and not to forget the country, thus placed between two opposite penis. M. de leerdren opposed the amendment, on the same ground as M. Faucher. Several voices culled for the expression of the government's opinion. But complete silence was observed by the bench of ministers. The amendment in favour of two years was then put to the vote and carried by 344 against 218. The articles from 10 to 14 inclusively, which relate to the modes of attesting the domicile, and have been explained in previous letters—(sec my despatch of Sunday 111 , 4, for the modifications introduced by, the committee into the law of May 31), were successively voted without raising any debate of importance. An important error has been discovered in the division announced yesterday in the Assembly, on the important amendment of M. Monet to the Eke toral Bill under discussion, for reducing the term of domiciliation for citizens not born in a commune from three years to one year. The division, as corrected by the .Ifonitear, gives the majority at 301 instead of &PO, and the minority at 238 instead of 281. The cause of this error will be explained in the sitting of to-day In the divisions on the clauses of the Electoral Bill now under discussion, it was observed that Edgar Ney, de Moray, Lucien Mona, Lucien Bona parte, and other Bonapartists, abstained as well as the Mountain. 'fhc Art'nement states that the government will bring forward next week a bill for the abolition of the octroi duty. The same paper announces a strike of 290 workmen at an iron foundry at \'ierzon, in the department of the Cher. General Neumayer has declined to come forward as a candidate for the representation of the Seine. General Cavaignac puts forward in the &Tie a defence of his vote in favour of the Questors' Bill. You arc aware that when Cavaignac was head of the executive he refused to comply with a requisition for troops made by Baraguay d Villiers, then commander of the forces appointed to protect the Assembly. In consequence of this refusal, Baraguay d'Hilliers re signed his command. The Siecte reconciles his vote on Monday with his behaviour in office by elle , ing "That General Cavaignac at that time posthe complete confidence of the Assembly, into whose hands he had promised to resign his power at any moment when they might require it. But the Pre sident of the Republic stands in a very different re lation towards the Assembly, which ought to be on its guard against him, because he is a rival power. The Assembly is made, by the constitution, the Pre sident's judge in case he should incur attainder. Would you have the judge disarmed before the de linquent? No; the Assembly ought to be able not to haggle about a regiment or a brigade, but to summon, without more formality than its order without other intervention than the mere expression of its will, all the troops of the capital, and, if necessary, the whole army. It ought to be able to do so, for the constitution has made it the judge of all, but has only assigned the nation as the judge of the Assembly.' Such is the official justification of General Cavaignac's vote. The point calculated to surprise one is that General Cavaignac seems to apprehend no hostility to the republic from the majority of the Assembly, who have been openly working these three years for its destruction, while his eyes are wonderfully wide open against the dan ger of a coup delta from the Elyske. At the last reception at General Magnan's an altercation occurred between two officers of frisk, who took opposite views of the Assembly's vote on the Questors BilL A duel was talked of in conse quence. It is observed that M. Wain°, formerly temporary Minister of the Interior, while he voted, on the 13th, in favour of the second reading of the electoral bill of the government, spoke yesterday in favour of maintaining the term of three years for the domicile at adoption. Mgr. Sibour, the Archbishop of Paris, yesterday visited several associations of workmen in the tau =s. In the Faubourg St. Antoine Ise made a to about 300 awn and their families, yid* according to the report in the Areaement, was in these terms : Christ, my friends, bought the people from slavery ; &Ste wards society accomplished another revolution, the ras p. tics of sofa the work which you are doing at the present moment is the redemption of hired labourers. He afterwards visited an association of chair turners in the Rue Popincourt, and at the conclusion of his address he said to them : I have visited other manufactories, and in all of them I have seen one master and many workmen, but here you yourselves are ninety masters. (These words were received with loud applause ; and a cry of Vies la Republique" was heard, which the workmen hesitated t. repeat.) Why do you fear to hear frankly the expression of your political faith ? That cry has been so much repressed else where, that you should make it echo here in full IS lam not a party man, but a man of conciliation. My don makes it my duty to mediate, mad as a man I your sympathies. In the committee on the bills for ratitifying the literary treaties with England and Hanover, M.

He would here done wisely had be Toonabered the rule, to decide and net, but to give SO TOIIIIOOI. He knew that the Wald had not for gotten his notable Protest against the papal I „ ion : its priestly arrogance, its 'pimp' jaisoors its hesitations, its suggestion of a sosaadobl lbw/ worthy of HILDEBRMID, and its raheimesa to mon it. He remembered the rebuke adadoilooll to his by the Duke of Anutu., with mask aeperiority of argument, of religious knowledge, and pro testant feeling. Some sense of shaaefeelee to have come over him for Isis piteous wailing at the appearance of a rival in the same field ; for his lament over the competition for episcopal dominion in the sheepfold of Oxford offered by a brother bishop, who, , if a foreigner, could nevertheless boast of a purer cede ' siastical pedigree. For great has been the scandal (and the Bishop is conscious of it) that a chief minister of the church of England should bemoan in the p!o -grew of popery, not 110 much the spread of an unscrip torsi religion, as the advance of a rival episcopacy. Throughout the whole of that protest there was the most flagrant confusion of the means with the end ; in every line of it the sentiment was struggling to come forth, that man was made for the sabbath, not the sabbath for man ; that to be ruled by bishops was the great commandment; and that pure religion, truth, evangelical doctrine, were but secondary matters, and never could justify secession from the episcopate in order to obtain them. Dr. WILBERFORCE appears to have felt how un seemly and unworthy it was for an English protestant bishop to be swayed more by a lust of power and dread of rivalry than by a fatherly care to protect his flock from error ; and he ae- cordinglv attempts to gloss over with the flim siest veil that a " refined ingenuity could devise," the priority of importance which he assigned to the act of schism over the corruptions of Rome. lie re , presents the establishment of a Itomish hierarchy in England as something new. and so deserving of far I stronger notice than the old errors and corruptions; as if such a hierarchy was of any consequence ex cept as an instrument for the propagation of a de praved doctrine. Nextovaxing bolder, he ventures to meet his oppo nents on the principle at issue. "It has been as - meted," says he, " that putting . forth the claim to territorial jurisdiction is to fall into the worst error of papal arrogance." Unquestionably : so says every Ease protestant. Now, what is this claim. That the episcopate of each nation has the sole right of ruling all the Christians of that nation by virtue of being the only lawful church for that nation; and that the national episcopate enjoys such an exclu sive jurisdiction; that the existence of any other episcopal body, or any other association of Chris- Uutis, whatever might be the teaching of that episcopate, is an act of intrusion and schism. This is his startling claim of territorial juris diction. How dues he sustain it? He speaks with confidence, if not with cogency of logic, " Our answer to this is simple and conclusive. It is to assert that the church of CUBIST was constituted by the Apostles upon a certain model —that it has come down to us without alteration of that model— and that we certainly possess those gifts which are the inheritance of the church, and are given to all who share in the upostolic communion." But how does this answer meet the objection? Does it prove that there cannot be more than one episcopal church within the same country . ? In Scotland there are two at least. Which is the true, and which the spurious.? The Itumish can claim to be the most ancient: the protestant has nothing but its purity of doctrine to sustain it. If the Bishop pronounces in favour of the latter, and concedes that soundness of faith is the title of legitimacy, is he prepared to communicate the succession to new epis copates in France, Spain, or Austria, to rescue those countries from the corruptions of a false church ? Can the papist be barred out of England by the assertion that the church of England has bishops, priests, and deacons after the apostolic model? "We have a better faith. We come to preach it," would he the Romish missionary's rejoinder ; and the Bishop's " simple and conclusive" answer does not say our word in support of the territorial law, which would reply to the Romanists. " We Eng. fish bishops hold England in perpetual possession ; whatever be our doctriue, you can never have any business here." Such is his logic towards catholic.. ; it is still shal lower towards non-episcopal churches abroad and dis senters at home. His patrimony of evangelical feel ing forbids him to disown the former. Moreover they do not compete with him at Oxford; so he lets them off cheap, not pronouncin,,o an opinion " on the ful ness of the blessings for these communities of other lands," and inventing for them the good-natured ex cuse that they " have the purpose and intention of belonging to the church, but lack many of her out ward rules, and many of her best instruments." How skilfully chosen the phrases to hide the utter ruin to his argument involved in this concession! Those outward rules and best instruments are an episcopal constitution, which is the very citadel of his position. Episcopacy is the basis of the territorial jurisdiction which he claims. The territorial law un churches and illegitinuites the Calvinists of France and the Lutherans of Germany, or is itself a nullity. The Bishop virtually acknowledges these to be churches, though existing in countries possessed of a regular episcopacy. He thereby admits tho ecclesi astical right of dissenters, and removes the territorial law out of the way of the Roman catholics in England. But the Bishop is very loth to leave the dissenters standing. The church artillery has not crushed them ; he calls in the aid of the greater guns of the state. "To each of the bishops and pastors is committed solely by legal act the souls of the parishioners in each parish, not only . of those a ho may choose to adopt bun as their minister, but the souls of all the parishioners or regular Christian men who dwell there." This mon strous and ridiculous proposition is then defended by a train of reasoning which it is plain could have been addressed only to persons treated as children. Thejurisdiction of the Bishop's Court still extends by law over all Christian people who reside in the diocese, and a dissenter may be cited into the Bishop's Court for certain spiritual offences. And, to crown the whole, the bishop adds with delicious neirea, that "in complete consistency with this we have, thank Goo, perfect religious toleration r A more striking specimen of the turbidity of an Ordinary clerical understanding, it is impossible to cesteeive. The poor Bishop seems wholly uncon scious that this very law of toleration has spoiled all his beautiful theory. Till it was passed, the State made the church of England the purest exhibition of F.rastianism ever seen in history. It attempted to dictate to every man what his re ligion should be, for bidding him to belong to any other church than that which the State had provided for him. The Tam. tion Act destroyed this principle to the very root, for it expressly sanctioned the profession of any form of religion whatever.

GREECE. The last noto of Lord Palmerston to the Greek government, which contains severe reproaches, has produced great sensation at Athens. The cabinet having differed as to the answer which ought to be returned, a ministerial crisis has ensued, which was likely to end in the triumph of the Russian party. M. Metaxa was expected to be charged with tho ' formation of the new cabinet. CIRCASSIA. Thecorreepondenceof the Paris Cuastitutiwanelfrom Constantinople, states that private letters from Ta garoc bring the news of a fresh and terrible defeat sustained by the Russians in Circassia. No details are given; but all agree in stating that a Russian corps-d'arm€e has been completely beaten in the neighbourhood of Derbent, and lost all its guns, in number 28. UNITED STATES. Our correspondent writes : EW YORK, Nov. 8. The result of the election in this State is not yet fully ascertained. It is supposed the general ticket is nearly equally divided. In this city the democrats have carried almost evervthint: The opinion at present very generally pre . vails, - Oita the next elec tion for president will result in the entire defeat of the whigs. Since my last, the Prometheus has arrived from San Juan, Nicaragua, with 500 passengers. The following letter from San Juan, dated Oct. 22, has made its appearance in the morning papers: The advance guard of the army of the " government, for the restoration of order," commanded by General Chamorro, consisting of 1,000 men, has reached the village of Motearas on their route towards Leon. Montenegro, successor of Jose Jesus de .tlfaro, is represented to be a man of sterling abilities, sound sense, and of a liberal disposition. Munoz has hitherto been supposed to be about the only public man in the country who was not bound down by that Jealousy of foreigners, characteristic of the Spanish race ; but he and his party now sturdily oppose the granting of any more mono polies to the Canal Company, tool if he should be successful in this revolution, the exclusive right of transit, recently granted to the Canal Company, will probably be revoked, and the business will be thrown open to general competition. Messrs. Howland and Aspinwall had made an application to the Pine& government, previous to the revolution fur a right of transit. John J. Doyle, Esq., the reesnt.) appointed general agent liar the Canal Company, to supersede Albert Corn, Esq., has gone up the river, and will assume his duties at once. About two hundred and fifty of the passengers of the steamer Carolina, of Howland and Aspinwall's line front San Francisco to Panama, have arrived in this town, hav ing left the ship at Ikalelo, she having been obliged to put into that port. The Carolina was discovered to be in a leaky condition, her machinery much damaged and broken, a few days out of San Francisco, and the passengers were obliged to labour both at the pumps and by baling in order to keep the ship afloat, and to enable them to reach sonic, port ; and now, after sixteen days travelling through Nicaragua, in the rainy season, having been obliged to cross the lake and descent' the river in bungoes, is part of them have reached this place, many sick with the fever of the country, superinduced by the fatigue they have under gone. Yesterday afternoon, a meeting of these passengers was held in the public square of this town, and a statement of the facts put forth, and a firm 4isposition manifested to obtain from the owners of the steamer some recompense fur the extraordinary expenses they have been obliged to incur and the jt epardy to which their lives had been exposed. They state that the ship was unseaworthy. This meeting represented fifteen states of North America. I have read the following curious letter, dated Havana, Oct. 30, in relation to the feelings enter tained there towards the United States. At this moment there is a little excitement in consequence of the arrest and confinement of Mr. Thrasher, aft Ame rican, who has long resided on the island, and has, until recently, conducted a liberal paper at Havana. It is said certain papers have been found in his pos session which implicate hint in the affair of Lopez, and that he is in great danger of his life. Our own newspapers, as they assail or defend the national ad ministration, remark on his incarceration as a matter either to be remedied or not, according to the views entertained by the President. The letter, which I quote at length, says: The statements of the liberated individuals of the Cuban expedition, published in the United States, arc deemed here by the European Spaniards and their friends, the officials. (who are unquestionably ruled, in a great degree, by their opinions), as destitute of truth. The former are violent in the expression of their sentiments on the subject of the leni ency extended to all; namely, the liberation of some indi viduals, and the sentence of imprisonment to the remainder in Spain—arguing that their ease did not admit of de meney, and, moreover, that even the sovereign had no right to interrupt the extreme penalty of the laws iu a crime tending to upset their Fortunes and exposing their lives. Another tqpie of indignation to the European Spaniard, is the removal of our Consul, Mr. Owen, for not preventing the execution of the fifty Americans. An American consul, in the first place, is deemed by them as a chief spy and abettor of the expeditions got Up in the United States. Then, again, they say he has no influence whatever at head quarters, that here no communication from him would be entertained, on the ground that he has no diplomatic juris diction or action. They also say that any interference by the American consul would have been viewed as a meddling with the laws, and a dictation, which they would have spurned with contempt. I now fini that means will be applied at the court of Madrid, by many influential but vindictive Spaniards here, to prevent anything like a par don or commutation of punishment of the prisoners sent to Spain. The spirit of the press in old Spain, violent in ex treme, and calling for war against the United States, is responded to here heartily by the old Spaniards. Any harsh measures would be acceptable. No intercourse what ever with us would be agreeable to their revengeful cha racter, should they " not Ins favoured with a war." I suppose that Mr. Thrasher has become, by his long residence in Culta, actually a citizen thereof, and responsible to its laws; so that our government can scarcely interfere in his behalf. A movement has lately been set on foot (says the if ashington Intelligencer) by the settlers in Oregon Territory, which has for its object the organisation of a separate territorial government for that portion which lies to the north of the Columbia river. It is to be called the Columbia territory, and throughout' its vast extent is well adapted to agriculture, com merce, and manufacturing. The total absence of all municipal law and civil officers, the great distance from the seat of the present government, and the isolated situation of this part of the territory there from, and many other reasons, are urged as to the propriety of the organisation of a separate territorial government. For the promotion of this object, a convention of twenty-five delegates assembled at Carolitz, Lewis county, on the 29th of August, and, after discussing the matter, unanimously adopted the following resolution: That a committee of three be appointed by the President of the Convention to prepare a suitable memorial on that subject to Congress, mid that the same be forwarded to the delegate in Congress from Oregon Territory, requesting him to use blot influence to procure the organisation of a separate territorial government. Previous to the session of the Convention, a com mittee on districts and counties having been ap pointed, the territory north of the Columbia river was divided into twelve counties,withwell prescribed boundaries. The Convention is to meet again at Olympia some time about the midflo of next May, there terform a State Convention, preparatory to ask ing admission into the Union as one of the states thereof, provided that Congress has not at that time organised a territorial government. HONDURAS. A letter from Belize, of October 14, says : I have to inform you that Mr. Wodehouse, her Majesty's new superintendent, bas lately visited the island of Ituatan, and, after various consultations with its inhabitants, has formed a system of government by which they, the people, are to give to his excellency the power to appoint a sti pendiary magistrate, having nearly unlimited powers entirely and altogether beyond their reach or control, and in no way amenable or responsible to them. He has also visited Amberris Kay, where he had heard the Yucatacoes were flying a Mexican flag, and had collected a force of from two to four hundred armed men. On his arrival he may have found an old Mexican flag, but the armed men did not turn up. So, after taking (in H. B.'s name) possession of that island, and all others around and in its neighbourhood, he returned again to Belize. I have also to inform you that his Imperial Highness the King of all theMosquitoee hu lately paid estate visit in 11.111. brig of war Bermuda, to Limu (a place where an extensive mahogany cutting establishment, belonging to a house in Belize, is situated), and has appointed a police and revenue officer there. His Royal Highness also visited the Roman River, and made another police station there. Appointed • policeman there also. Corres.—The Lake Superior Journal of the 29th of October says that the propeller Peninsula left Sant Sainte Marie that morning with one of the largest freights of copper ever shipped from the country, having from the Cliff!dine 80 tons, in masses and barrels; from the Min nesota 60 tons, mostly in manes; from the Peninsula one ton, one mass, sad two barrels. Included in the large lot of masses from the Cliff Mine were six enormous pieces, one weighing 6,070 lbs. and five weighing over 5,000 lbs. each. The largest piece weighed 990 lbs. more than any I mass ever before sent out of the country. Ine Court. WINDSOR, NO7. 20, Mr. Richard Somerset arrive4l at the Castle at 12 o'clock, with the 'melancholy intelligence of tl.o death of the King of Hanover, and had an audience of There was no addition to the Royal dinner Fitly List evening. Mr. It. Somerset, private secretary of his late Majesty the King of Hanover. arrived in town between 9 and 17 o'clock yesterday morning from Hanover, bringing the mournful intelligence of the death of the King of Hanover, filth son of his late Majesty King George the Third, tot owls, of her Majesty the Queen. Mr. Wilhelm Meyer, Commissioner at the Exhil,ition for North Germany, had an audience, and took leave of Prince Albert at Windsor Castle, on Saturday last. Governor MaeHonnell (Gambia) had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial-office.

SOLICITORSHIP OF THE TREASURT.--It will be useful to the public to be informed that the ottire of soli citor for the affairs of her Majesty's Treasury, Itan for some time been located at Gwydyr-hoti , e, NVldtchall, has been removed back to the Treasury-chant:tem DEPARTURE OF KOSSUTH FOR AMERICA. SOUTIIAMPTON, Tti ILCDAY. Kossuth, with his party, arrived here by railway at half-past 11 o'clock this utorning, which was later than had been anticipated. The delay arose front the state of the rail, in consequence of the frost. Ile was met at the station by the mayor, aldermen, and town council, and by a Isrge concourse of spectators, who greeted hint mast heartily. A line of procession was formed from the railway station to the house of the American Con sul, where the illustrious Magyar was hospitably entertained. I•'rom the residence of the • Consul the party proceeded to the Jupiter, which steamed to Cosecs Roads, when a thjearter was served on board, a numerous and highly respectable company being present. The Mayor of Southampton presided, and premised the chief toast—" The health of Kossuth." to which the noble exile replied at some length, and for upwards of an hour addresecd the company in a speech in which he expressed his belief that England was the country which would have after all to decide the destinies of Europe. France was re publican, and Russia must know, let it please her or not, that she must accept the necessity of fighting France on the field of republicanism against absolutism ; but !Lassie must also learn that site would have to meet England and the force of her public opinion in opposition to despotism. Ile would not say that England would do so by going to war, but that she would exercise an influence of this kind by declaring her opinion against any interference in the do mestic affairs of nations front foreign powers. Freedom and independence were hut self-government as opposed to c ntralization. Ile wished thou to remember this, then they would see that the cause of Hungary was their cause too. His last request was, do not forget poor Hungary. On whatever question they met, let Englishmen, in their addresses to the House of Commons, in their petitions, and in their public resolutions, remember the cause of Hungary as involving their own interests. In the course of his speech he begged of them not to for get to agitate against secret diplomacy. It had been said that diplomacy should be kept secret, just as a merchant would keep his negotiations Keret, till they were finished; but what merchant would allow business to be transacted in his counting-house the nature of which he did not know? In this ease the people were the masters, and they should not allow any business to be conducted with the details of which they were not fully acquainted. He thanked them lbr the hospitality with which they had received him, and remarked on the increase of enthusiasm which had distin guished his progress. After an able apeech of more than an hour's duration M.Kossutheoncluded by proposing tie health of the Mayor,who returned thanks. Then followed "The cause of l'oland and Hungary," to which Lord Dudley Stuart responded. The entertainment being over, M. Kossuth, Madame Kossuth, M. Pulszky and Madame Pulszky, and suite proceeded on board a small steamer that was in wait ing to convey them to the Humboldt, but the latter shipdid not arrive until a quarter before nine o'clock. Sot after that hour, however, the ptrty boarded the Humboldt, which quickly steamed forth on her voyage autos; the Atlantic. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The noise of the hammer is now heard incessantly and up to the latest hour within the Gloss Palace, and a corresponding amount of achievement marks the close of each day. The nave was never fuller of packages that it is at present—a circumstance which is partly attributable totho inadequacy of the wharfage. fur the reception of the goods. There arc only two boats leaving every wick Inr Dun gucrgc, to which port the French guars are re-shipped, and these altogether insufficient to meet the demand for space made upon them. It would very much facilitato the clear ing of the building from the debris which now disfigures it, if the authorities allowed the use of the Ordnance Wharf for the reception and shipment of the goods. We believe that an application has been forwarded to the proper quarter for this purpose. Amongst other significant signs of the final break up may be mentioned the fact that the working staff at the Exhibition has been considerably reduced, the weekly expenditure not amounting to one fourth of the sum at which it stood this day month. We arc not aware that the effect of artihcial light within the Glass Palace hut ever been noticed, but, if well lit up with a sufficient quantity of gas, the result, judging from the scattered and scanty jets that are now " let on " at the approach of night, would be singularly beautiful. It is said a ball is to be given within this Palace of Glass, the profits of which arc to be handed over to the London Hospitals. Sr. PANCRAS, NIARYLEBONE, AND PADDINUTON FIDEEHOLD LAND SUCI ETY.—A crowded meeting of the friends and supporters of the freehold land movement as sembled on Wednesday evening at the Temperance Hall, Somers-town, for the purpose of considering the enfranchise ment of the working classes, and of explaining the working of the freehold laud societies, It. F. Brettingliam, Esq., in the chair. The chairman, in opening the business, re marked that the time had now arrived for the people to possess themselves of those rights and privileges to which they . were legitimately entitled. Every man ought to have a voice in returning members to parliament, but since, as a ' matter of fact, the law required a certain property qualifi cation, the Freehol I Land Society, at a cost of ono shilling weekly, secured to the subscribers the neci.eisery possession to entitle its members to a county vote. Mr. Spong, the secretary, entered into a statistical account of the working of the above society since its formation up to the present time. It appeared that upwards of 1,600 members had been enrolled, and that 2,200 shares had been taken ; five purchases of land had been made, two of which had been allotted, and the society were about concluding another purchase, which would be divided into 600 more allotments. Thus the benefit of co operation was clearly shown, and the ultimate success of the society was established beyond doubt.—Mr. Mortimore 'f impson moved a resolution, affirming that the St. Pancras, Marylebone, and Paddington Freehold Land Society offers advantages moral, political, and pecuniary. —Mr. Howley, in seconding the resolution, entered into some interesting details of the movement generally. One of the primary objects of this society was to help men to help themselves The rules were drawn up by working men to suit the MBAS of those in their own class, and the whole management was open to the inspection of every member. The demonstra tive year of 1851 was a proud one for the working classes, who had shown themselves not only a credit to themselves, but an ornament to society. The resolution was unani mously agreed to.—Mr. Whyman moved a resolution to the effect that the principles of the Freehold Land Society wero the :most efficient for extending the franchise, and for improving the social and domestic comfort of the working classes, and enabling them to become county electors. As a mere pecuniary investment these societies were superior , to say other, they yielded seven per cent. upon the best possible security. A subscribed caoital of 800,0001. would give in ten years four millions of allotments, and as man_ y county votes ; supposing these allotments to be let at 21. per annum each this would yield a net annual rental of 8,000,0001. ; this would produce labour to the benefit of the community.—Mr. Deane seconded the resolutien, and urged Om necessity of an immediate reform in the representative system. It was monstrous that in Hampshire eight out of every nine adult men were disfranchised; iu Berkshire the proportion was seven out of eight; and in Surrey, out of a population of 154,000 there were only 9,000 electors, thus fifteen-sixteenths of the men of Surrey were deprived of the franchise.—The resolution having been unanimously carried, several new members were enrolled, and, after the usual compliment to the chairman, the meeting broke up. CUSTOM-HOUSE REFORM.—The agitation at pre sent going on for numerous reforms in the management of the Customs, is already producing results ; as, on Monday next, that important branch of the Customs, the Long Boom, will be open at 9 a.m., in place of 10 a.m., at which hour official business will commence. During the summer months it is intended to commence business at 8 a.m., thug • giving merchants an advance of two hours of most Tau , able business time. SERIOUS ILLNESS OF LORD PLUNKETT.—This venerable nobleman now lies under a dangerous and, it is apprehended, a hopeless illness, at his residence, Old Con , naught, near Bray, about 10 miles from Dublin, where, since he had ceased to hold the Irish seals, on the appoint ment of Lord Campbell to the Irish Chancellorship in 1841, he has lived in the privacy of the domestic circle. The noble and learned lard has nearly reached his 90th year. He was called to the Irish bar in Hilary Term, 1787.
