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.

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

his reception here, having been unable to be present at it,

THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY AND CIIARTIST
LAND ALLOTMENT SCIIEME.—VISICr the powers and pro-
visions of the act of parliament 14 and 15 Viet., c. 129, Mr.
W. Goodchap, the interim manager of this company, with
his solicitors, Messrs. Tucker and Sons, appointed by the
Court of Chancery to investigate the affairs, and to dispose
of the lands and property of this undertekiiii, have, we
understand from a correspondent, during the last few days,
been engaged in visiting the various extensive estates, pur-
chased on behalf of the company by Mr. Feargus O'Con-
nor, M.l'., in Hertfordshire, Gloucestershire, Worcester-
shire, and elsewhere ; and the " district secretaries" con-
nected with them, with the %ICY/ of obtaining information
on their past and present management, and ell hooks, docu-
ments and papers, required under the act of parliament to
be delivered over, to throw light us and enable the affairs
to be investigated and wound up. They have also been ac-
tively engaged in serving notices upon the 300 ullottees still
located on their allotments, to restrain the future payment of
rent to any other person than the official manager. Theprin-
sipal estates, with the purchase money Dahl for them, are
found iu extent to be as follows: The O'Counorsille estate,
Itickmansworth, Hertfordshire, 103 acres, purchase money
23111. ; Lowbands, Worcestershire. 100 acres, 8,560/..;
Minster Lovell, Oxford, 9,5391.; Snig's End, Worcester.

10 acres, 1,0181. • with various smaller estates in the parish
of Great Duslfur:l, of from I to 10 acres in extent, and from
2001. to 400/. purchase-money, representing a total area of
about 1,300 acre% soil a purchase-money value of about
50,000/. There are 7:000 shateholders, and district
secretaries, connected with the branches and estates to deal
with. The allottees on t:ie litter, which are only half cul-
tivated, are in a deplorable condition. Some are what are
terntial "Chartist.," and some are not, and even
the former are said to have turned upon the "six
points,'• and upon their patron, Mr. Feargus O'Con-
nor. Yesterday, in consideration of the satisfactory
and assiduous ma 111 l er in which the interim manager
and his solicitors had prosecuted their preliminary inquiry
into the matter, his Honour the Master in Chancery con-
ferred upon them the appointment of permanent managers
and solicitors to carry ore and wind up the and risking.
Under the 6th section of the act of parliament it is pro-
vided that it shall be lawful for the Master is Chancery to
delegate to the ullicial manager and his solicitors any dis-
cretionary, judicial, or other power or authority which the
Master himself possesses under the act, and ail decisions,
determination., acts, arid proceedings of the Official ma-
nager under such delegated authority are to have the same
effect and force as if done by the Master in Chancery, who
yesterday directed Mr. Goodchap, the official manager, to
ascertain the relative position of the parties now located ou
the estates, whether the land is sold or demised, and if by
virtue of the ballot ur in any other way,what (lewd, arc exe-
cuted—whether the ellottees are willing to remain posses-
sion, or to relinquish ; what parties are in wrongful posses-
lion, and generally to take the accounts. It is understood
that proceedings will be taken against the mortgagees of
the Minster Lovell Estate which won conveyed by inden-
ture of grant August 16, 1817, between J. Weaving, corn
merchant, and W. Vinnock, fanner, of the first part ; John
Walker and Mary Ann Walker, of the second part; and
Feargus O'Connor, M.P., of the third part (in this and all
the other purchases on Irebalf of this company), to set
aside their mortgage of 5,000/. at 4/. 10s. per cent.

the property.
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.
