GREAT DEMONSTRATION OF THE WORK-
ING CLASSES.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning a great demonstration of the work-
Jag claw., in fewer of the illustrious Hungarian took place,
at Copeuhageo.hoime, evenhagen-fields, and under eir-
eamstances particulnrly favourable to the event. The
atmosphere env el, A( and genial, and the appearauee
Of the street. leading to the seene of action gave evidence
of a determination on the part of the " friends of

freedom" to absolve themselves from all dutice save such as
might be supposed to belong to those whose only thoughts
were of holiday making.
Shortly after In o'clock crowds of people Logan to as.
actable in tiepin:l-street, where it bad been arranged that
the united trades of London shold assemble and form a
procession. The wish of Kossuth that there should be no
demonstration through the street/ was nut altogether die-
re,:arded ; but, in vertheless, it was found impswilde to
leprew the enthusiasm which bad been kindled unworn
the people by an event so intimately connected with their
own social pse.it:on. Ifinners were accordingly seen VIM itxg
in all directious along the brie from Keppell-street to Copen-
hagen told., and the Hungarian colours were proudly in
the ascendant. The large SINIOC of ground imme-
diately tieing Copenhagen-house presented a most
animated spectacle, and as the hour apprimehed when it
had been anion/need that the proceedings would commence

the a...mild-L.4e had pothered redoublvistrength and num-
ben. The u.dional atandird occupied an elevated position
in front of the houu, and amongst the other banners exhi-
bited, was one hearing the inwription, " By united efforts
such is aceumplidwd."

The line of procession was by way of Keppel-stree, Rum
bell-square, along 'fottenham-court-road, Hampstead-road,
Camden-road, to the place of meeting, where, as may be
Imagined, many thousand, of persons who did not feel dis-
posed to join in the march through the streets had congre-
gated Wu; before the " business- commenced. Arrived at

populace, who vented their execrations alternately with
their applause.
Shortly after two o'clock the committee reached the place
of meeting, when Mr. Thornton Hunt, the chairman, pre-
Rented to M. Kossuth the fullowin-g address, which was
received throughout with loud demonstrations of applause:

"l'atriut Citing and worthy representative of a great
people; —we approach you silk' sentinieuts of hopeful joy ;
we hail with satisfaction your restueatiou to freedom and to
your country's Mn vice, as we heard with sorrow the tidings
of your expatriation. In the war, so heroically sustained
by the flung:nein nation, against the united governments
of ltussia and Austria, the sympathy of the people of Bri-
tain with the people of Ilungury was so universally ex-
pressed as to be historical, but we desire that it may be re-
corded that, bud our willies received governmental aid,
the intervention of Russia would not have been met alone
by protests upon piper, but upon the field of action by the
force of Uritish arms. Our regret fur the past is mingled•
with humiliatiou for the futility of our desires, but it is
alleviated by our hope* and our resolves for he future.
Chosen as the guide of a brave people in the path of free-
dom, your liberation gives hope not alone to llungary, but
to humanity. In the brotherhood of peoples rest the hope
of civilisation, the assurance of our progress in the peacetul
arts, and the free elevelopmeut of man's noblest faculties.
In the brotherhood of peoples there also exists the certainty
of success iu resistiug the cueroachments of despotic powers.
Distinguished alike for wisdom as fur integrity, if we have
said so much to you, it is because your name and that of
your country are linked in our hopes and our prayers to the
names of other men and ether nations. Need we name
them i Nu; your true heart has already responded—ltaly,
I'oland, tienuany, and —. There is a nation which tor
half a century has expioted its love of freedom in bereave-
ment of its best sons, is the tears of its mothers and
daughters. Its cup of bitteruess is full. Whilst the arms
of the people were extended to embrace you, you
were repelled from their shores. As we believe in a future
for Ilunaary, 1113 also do we believe in a future for France.
Whilst congratulating flungary, and you, sir, freely chosen
governor, uu your liberation, we turn with sentiments of
fraternal gratitude to that nation which, despite of menace
and intrigue, shielded you in the adverse hour, anal has re-
stored you to free artiou and fresh hope in the fulfilment of
your glorious mission. 'to the citizens of the great republic
which has thrown its tag around you—linked, as we are,
by ties of kindred—we are more closely linked in our mu-
tual esteem for you, anal sympathy fur your country. We
rejoice, with them, in the honour they have won; but we
lament that we should have deserved that honour lees.

Welcomeiliour country ! Our words are but the poor echo
of a miliion voices which, from the extreme limits of our
land, bless your 114111 V, And, in blessing you, bless Hungary."
M. KOSSU I'll then stepped forward and delivered a
reply, in which he expatiated, as on former occasions, on
the principles of social freedom and independence; and
expressed a confident hope that ere long the struggle in
which they hail b engaged would be renewed, and car-
ried to a .uce,srful issue.

press.)

ENGAGEMENTS OF KOSSUTH DURING HIS STAY.
—ln consequence of the great fatigue Kossuth has re
gently undergone, and the indifferent state of his health'
be has been obliged to decline receiving any further ad-
d/owes or deputations until Saturday neat, the Bth instant,
when all of them can be presented at the same time. It is
stated that during the six weeks he was at sea Kossuth suf-
fered almost continually from sea-sickness, and wee so ill
that no food would rest on his stomach. He has been so
debilitated from this circumstance that when he landed at
Southampton he almost fainted, and nothing but the strong
excitement sustained him while addressing the people.
Me has accepted an invitation to dine with the Mayor
and corporation of Ilirmingliam on Monday, the 10th
instant, in the Town Hall, and on the following day his
excellency will be entertained by the Mayor and cor-
poration of the borough of Manchester. He has been ob-
liged to decline the invitations sent to him from Sheffield,
Edinburgh, and other places, in consequence of the short-
ness of his stay in England. On the 13th Kossuth will at-
tend the Palish ball at the Guildhall, and on the lith, with
his family, proceed to embark for the United States. His
stay in America will not be very long, and he purposes
again returning to England in the ensiling summer.

PROPOSED VISIT OF KOSSVITI TO MANCllLS-
viz.—Manchester was amongst the earliest towns to in-
vite M. Kossuth to visit it, and on Friday Mr. George Wil-
son and Mr. T. Roberts had an interview with the illus-
trious refugee in London, at which it was arranged that be
would visit Manchester and take part in • public meet-
ing there at the Free Trade Hall, a• the ereakig of Tues-
day, the Ilth inst. It is not improbable that it will be one
of the Roca demonstrations which has taken place. It is
not intended to be confined to men of on. shade of politics,
bat will compries the larlangiel of all parties. The exo-
