TM LOltli MAYOIt intimated that the illustri

Ihnipar was Lils.uring under a seem cold and oppression
tithe eat, and he Will therefore unable to express himself
WWI that own which he would otherwise command.
On ale aiss al. he bogged that silence might be main.
Oise& in order that the illustrious patriot's reply to the
Mime night be listened to with that deep attention which
it wee entitled to receive.

Y. KOSSUTH then addressed the Court, but from the
pecaliarity of his intonation, and from his manner of drop-
ping his voice at the conclusion of a sentence, it was
at times elan only ditScult to somprehend the full
meaning of his words. He however spoke in good
grammatical English, and with a degree of enthusiasm
which gave additional interest to his address. Ile cont-
inued by paying a tribute to the corporation of the great
sad gloriosus city of London in common council assembled,
sad proceeded to say that he felt himself quite overpowered,
not only by those sentiments which he wished to express in
regard to the high honour which he knew awaited him, but
he was overpowered still more by what be had seen in the
atrosta,as be advanced towards the City. lie had been greeted
by thousands of people, who were actuated by no other mo-
tive than that of maintaining and sanctifying the'great prin.
eigis;ot liberty. (lieu, hear.) Seeing this nianitestation,
be could not bat reflect upon the conduct of those who were
tbe appresson of the people, and he was proud to think
that his position had excited the sympathy of those whose
desist was to accomplish the liberation of the world. This
was a mad moment of his life, and he considered it no-
thing has than a providential revelation that he should
receive so high an honour as had now been conferred upon
biro by the generous address which had just been read to
him. An address delivered in so solemn a manner, and in
such generous language, assured him that they had
watched the past struggle of Hungary for freedom and in-
dependence—that they had regarded those struggles with
deep interest, and that they were now proud to congratu-
late him upon his liberatiou—upon his regained freedom.
(Hear, hear). He begged to express his mast timere
thanks—not only on his own behalf, but on the part of his
Libre country, for the high and distinguished honour
which had just been paid to them by the corps-
Mica of London. He wished, however, to state that

the objects of this demonstration ? It was in Lon-
don that be found himself the metropolis of
England? No—the metropolis of the world. (Hear,
beer.) He raid this as an earnest, a sincere truth,
beams. there was no place, no country, in the world with
which the interests of England were not connected. Lon-
don was the metropolis of the world, which, like the
heart of the human constitution could not fail to be affected
by the least impediment to that free circulation which
ought to exist in the remotest corners of the
globe. (Loud cheers.) London being, as he said,
the metropolis of the world, there was no place which
had such strong motives for being interested in the
condition of foreign nations. So long as be should
have the honour of enjoying the protection of
this great country, he would never mix himself up with
any of those questions which might tend to disturb
the tranquillity of England—(Hear, hear)—and,
whilst he espresied this feeling, he begged again
to assure them how deeply he felt the high compliment
which had been paid to him on this occasion. (Cheers.)

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

THIS DAY.

II a. Jcinica Cansinaz.

W. Scaddon surrendered to take his trial upon a charge
of feloniously killing and slaying John Thomas Taylor.
Mr. liuddlestone prosecuted, and Mr. Parry was counsel
for the prisoner.
The facts of this ease have been very recently reported.
The prisoner, who is a tradesman residing in the vicinity of
the Old-street-road, had employed the deceased, and on the
Dith October there was a dispute between them upon the
subject of the amount of wages the deceased was to receive,
and the latter made use of some offensive expression to the
prisoner, who told him not to repeat it. Ile did repeat the
expression, upon which the prisoner struck him under
the ear, and he reeled across the road and fell against a
window-shutter, and then to the ground, and died almost
instantaneously, the death, according to the evidence of the
surgeon, being occasioned by an effusion of blood upon the
bean, which was the result of external violence.
Mr. Parry addressed the jury for the prisoner, and called
witnesses, from whose evidence it appeared that at thy
time of the occurrence deceased was intoxicated, and that
he made use of very 'Mauve language to the prisoner, and
challenged him to fight. It appeared that the prisoner
did at length strike the deceased, but the blow was repre-
sented to be of a very slight description.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended
him to mercy, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned for
14 days.
