KOSSUTH.

Sr. Pictezaa.—At an unusually numerous meeting
of the fit. Penang //Mr!, which was held yesterday, in the
sew Vestry Hall, Kist's. road, Camden Town, Thomas Ell
Baker, Eaq., churchwarden, in the chair, Mr. Brettinghain
claimed the attention of the vestry while ho introduced to
their notice a matter which ►e Mt assured they would
snow to take precedence of the other busbies. The illus-
trious Koseuth was about to anise in this country—he who
had rendered himself universally popular by sacrificing
everything in order to promote the interests and liberties of
his country. lie regretted that this matter had not been
mooted before ; the City of London and the parish of Mary-
10011e had already organised an address to the illustrious
Hungarian. The parish of St. Pancras, w►ich has a popu-
lation exceeding either the City or Marylebone, ought
to have been the first to move in this matter.
He could have wished for more time in preparing
a compliment to the great man who had done so much
to promote the welfare of his country. lie trusted that
the efforts of those who had been the means of freeing this
illustrious foragner from this despotic tyranny would be
appreciated by the people. Even France, which had be-
come despotic from the absence of all liberty of the press in
that country, had refused a passage through her territory to
this illustrious man, who was seeking a home in America.
Every country bad its patriot,—Scotland boasted its Wal-

lace, Switserland a Tell, America a Washington, and
Hungary bad her patriotic Kossuth ; and Hampden and
Sydney had out tottod to sacrifice their blood in defence of
the liberties of this country. Providence had ordained that
this illustrious man, rising as he did from the middle classes,
should not at this time succeed, but he (Mr. Brettiogham)
trusted that the time would come when he might be re-
called to establish in his native land popular freedom and
representative government. (Cheers.) He begged leave
to move that the following address be presented to Kossuth
by the churchwardens sod vestry, as soon after his arrival
ea
might be toned convenient:
Honoured and distinguished Sir—We the churchwardens
and vestrymen of the pariah of St. Panerus, in the county
of Middlesex in vestry assembled, embrace the earliest op-
portunity afforded by your presence among us of offering
you our sincere slid heartfelt congratulations on your re-
lease from an unjust captivity, the deep respect and admi-
ration we entertain for your person and character. Your
safe arrival in England, the native land of Hampden, of
Sydney, and of Russell, martyrs to the right of resistance to
the mandates of arbitrary power, iv hailed by this vestry
with the ekepeq emotions of gratitude for your most provi-
dential preservation and escape from the machinations of
those powerful and unscrupulous foes who have
sought, not only to deprive you of your valu-
able life, hut also to crush the rising spirit of
liberty and independence and destroy every principle of
self-governmeut in your own and other countries. The
vestry deem it a sacred duty to effer in this hour of
adversity all the consolation in their power to one who has
sacrificed so much on the altar of his country's freedom,
who has suffered so much in body and mind for the cause of
liberty, and who has endeared himself by his public con-
duct and private worth to the esteem and sympathy of all
good men. Be assured, sir, that, as the local representa-
tives of one of the largest parishes its the kingdom, we have
beheld with the most 141.211.1113 solicitude the noble and pa-
triotic efforts which you have made to establish
in your country institutions similar to our own
—institutions which hare been fur ages the bases
of freedom and the great bulwark of liberty, and that we
bare on all occasions concurred its the sentiments and hopes
which have been so frequently and urgently expressed by
the government of our own country in favour of the just
claims and time-honoured institutions of Hungary. We

karn that your destination is Asterism. la tat i:ountry
you will observe the best exemplifieation of Anglo-Saxon
principles, in the happiness, greatness, and prosperity of her
people. May the sojourn in the laud of your adoption be
but for a short period ; may a righteous Providence ordain
in its wisdom a change of affairs in Europe favourable to
the interests of your country ; and may you be recalled
from an honourable cede to become, like the illustrious
Washington, the lather and first president of the Ilungarian
nation."

F. Healey, Esq., seconded the address. There was to
be a borough demoustrution, and he hoped that the vestry
would concur with Marylebonc in carrying it out.—
Mr. Glover considered that the manner in which Mr.
Brettinghiun bad brought forward the question did 11;m
much honour.—The motion fur the presentation of the ad-
dress was carried by acclamation.
