and upright demeanour of the potentate in w hose doini-
'trona you sought rauge. Whether it be your determina-
tion, Sir, to remain in England, or to reside among the true
Englishmen of another enitiueut, once exiles like yourself,

801:TILLUrTON, OCT. 4.
The invitation cards for the banquet to be given to
Kossuth on his arrival at Southampton aro in progress.
The design for them is very appropriate and interesting.
The border has a representation of the oak supporting the
olive and vine, the emblems of strength, peace, and hand-

tality ; on one side the border is the Southampton arms,
and on the other the ancient Bar-gate where the banquet
will he held. In the foreground are the union jack and
American Sags joined together, and opposite to that are
the Royal and Turkish standards in conjunction. Between
them is the fallen flag of Hungary, with the city of Peath
at the back. In the horizon on one side is the setting son,
and on the other side above the city of Pesth is an angel
pointing to the star of 11..pc. The words of the invitation
are Se follows :—" The Mayor and Corporat:on of South-
ampton request the pleasure of your company at a muni-
cipal banquet at the Guildhall, on the of October, in
honour of the arrival in this country of his Ex-
cellency Louie Kossuth, late governor of Hungary."
The design is by Mr. Brannon, a self-taught Southampton
artist, and who will also be the engraver of the cards. The
mayor will personally invite a number of distinguished
persons to be Isis guests at the banquet. Amongst those to
be so invited will be the Lord Mayor of London, Mr.
Gilpin (the proposer of the London corporation address to
Kossuth), Lord Dudley Stuart, the noble friend of Hun-
gary and Poland; the Hungarian Giniral Massaro., Count,
PuLszky, and several provincial mayors. The Mayor of
I Southampton is obliged to keep a secretary to attend to the .
correspondence he receives about Kossuth. Numbers of
persons have begged the mayor to hand over letters to
Kossuth, begging him to write to them if he only places his
autograph on the letter. Songs, invitations, poetry, 1111-
drew", in honour of Kossuth have been sent to the mayor
to be presented to the exiled chieftain. When he lands
one person has requested the mayor to present to Kossuth
a spirited ballad in honour of Barclay and Perkins's dray-
men, for scourging the Austrian butcher, Haynau, from
their master's premises. Amongst the addesses sent to the
mayor for presentation is the fullowina :

fully watched the progress of the late struggle between
liberty and despotism in the once great but I.OIV dejected

to watch over and grieve for you and your unfortunate com•
panions in the retreat to 'farkey, mid through all the mis-
fortunes thereafter, including the banishment to Kutayah. '
Our hearts, however, leapt for jay at the welcome news of
your release, and we now welcome you and your unfortu-
nate companions to our chores—a welcome which we ore

',steels shared in by every true British heart. Our earnest
desire and prayer is that> ou may he lung spared as a mono-
meat of the once great Hungary, nod that you
may ere long nate the pleasure of seeina our of the noblest li
countries iss;tiic world free and independent, and of occu-
pying in it Tour proper position of Governor, a position
which a unanimous people installed you into, and which
only the united t Irons of triitor earl devout could be found
able to destroy. So long as you arc deprived of the bless-
ings of your native home we hope you lilt fix your abode
on the British shores, which are at all times free to the un-
fortunate exiles of every land, and whore you will hove the
cheerful smile and sympathising congratulations of every

Kossuth and his friends will be welcomed by the corpora-
lion on board the steamer which brings him to the port.
A beautiful equipage w ill be waiting fur him in the docks
to convey him through the town and to the Mayor's country
residence. The horses that will draw the carriage will be
splendidly eaparisnned. The rosettes for the harness have
been exhibiting in Mr. Evan's (the saddler) window, formed
of scarlet, white, and green coloured ribbons intermixed, the
Magyar patriotic colours.

The reception of lionuth in Enoland will reveal the uni-
venal and de. p-rooted interest which this country has felt
in the struggle of the Hungarians for freedom.

TIM REGISTRATIONS.

Etsr StRRE.Y.—The revising barrister held a
court, on Saturday, at the Vestry-hall, Camberwell. to re-
vise this lists for that parish, the hamlet of Mitcham, and the
parishes of Newington and Christchurch. The same gem
'lnnen attended as agents for the respective parties. In the
Camberwell list, the vote of Mr. Joseph Green was objected
to by Mr. Corner, the liberal agent. 'I he place of abode of
the voter was dedribed W " late " of Edghsatou, near Bir-
minoham. Mr. Corner proved that he had caused a notice
of oljeetion to be served upon the overseers, but it appeared
that no notice hid been served upon the voter himself.—
Mr. Meymott contended that the notice to the overseers warn
not sante-lent, and that notice of objection ought also to be
served upon the voter.—Mr. Corner said that the descrip-
tion of the residence of the voter as .• late " of Edgbastnn,
near Birmingham, Was no address whatever, and that it
came within the terms of the 100th section of the 'felons'
Act, which enacted that where no address of a voter ap-
peared upon the register, or the party was residing out of
England, a notice of objection served upon the overseen'
should be deemed sufficient, and a notice to the party was
not required.— Mr. Meymott eubmitted that persons
objecting to the right of a party to a vote were
bound to send Lim a notice of objection to the
address, whatever it might be, that was placed
upon the register. It was a very common practice, when
gentlemen left their chambers or residences, to have written
or painted on the door where they were removed to; and if
a notice had been sent to Edgbaston, in all probability Mr.
Green would have received it, and would have told on op-
portunity of making out his qualification. Sir W. 'Liddell
said he thought this case c.une completely within the tarn,
of the section that had been referred to. The voter was
re.luired to place the address where he could be fund upon
the register, but instead of doing so he had merely stated
where he did not reside, and he certainly considered the
description "late of " a place to be no address at all within
the meaningof the act, and consequently that the patty ob-
jecting to a vote had done all that was required in serving
notice of objection upon the overseers. The name was then
expunged front the list, and several other cases of the saute
kied were disposed of in a similar manner.

TYNEMOUTII.—Mr. llogg has been occupied two
days in revising the parliamentary list of borough eke-
tors. It is known that Mr. Hugh Taylor, of the Coal
Exchange, • protectionist, will oppose Mr. H. W. Grey,
the sitting member, and the list has been closely
scrutinised on both sides, with the following results :
Objections sustained by Mr. Grey's committee, 64 ; by Mr.
Taylor's, 35. Claims sustained by Mr. Grey's committee,
21 ; by Mr. Taylor's, 31.-14 in favour of Mr. Taylor :
general balance in favour of Mr. Grey, 43 upon the
whole revision.
