KOSSUTH.
INVITATION OF KOSSUTH TO MAN-
CHESTER.

The committee forming to prepare fcr the recep-
tion of Kossuth swells hourly, and the list of names will show
to any one acquainted with the manufacturing districts that
the fcehog there, whether it is regarded in reference to politi-
cal and religious opinions, or to wealth and social standing,
has a breadth and depth about it which no similar mov. -
ment in this country has ever possessed. The names upon
the committee have now nearly reached 400, and the appli-
cations fur tickets to the Free Trade Hall on the Ilth inst.
to see the illustrious Magyar arc beyond precedent at uny
previous meeting ever held in that spacious building. We
have been assured that it will flat hold a tenth of the
people who have applied even to this early period. Man•
cheater is to be made the great centre, it appears, M the
district, and bodies of people arc coining to present ad-
dresses from many of the neighbouring towns. Amongst
the first of these is Liverpool, from whence the deputation
includes Mr. Robertson Gladstone, Mr. W. Itathbone, and
other eminent men. Bradford is /tending au address by a
deputation, including Mr. Robert Milligan, M.l'., Mr.
Titus Salt, and Mr. '.Vm. Item!, Mayor. Then, amongst
other towns sending deputations with addresses, are
Ashton, Oldham, Rochdale, Clithcrue, Bolton, Burnley,
and Gadley. A great deal of indignation is expressed at
the attempt of the Mayor of Manchester to stifle an expres-
sion of opinion through the council.

INVITATION OF M. KOSSUTH TO
BIRMINGHAM.

The fact of M. Kossuth having declined to accept
invitations to public banquets unless they proceeded from
municipal bodies, placed the committee at Birmingham, ap-
pointed especially to do him honour, in a position of great
difficulty. An address and general invitation, signed by
five thousand persons (in one day), had been presented to
him, but, ts: has already becu announced the Mayor
' having declined to invite the illustrious Hungarian,
or to convene a special meeting of the council, in
order that that body might take the subject into consi-
deration, fears were entertained that the visit to Birming-
ham would not take place. On Monday, however, another
deputation from the committee waited on M. Koasuth, at
Eaton-place. It was then explained to him that all parties and
claws in Birmingham shared in the feeling of anxiety that
he should be induced to visit the town; that there was the
most enthusiastic devotion to him for the noble strugglas
he had made in behalf of his country, irrespective of any
party considerations whatever, and these and other facts by
which he was informed of the true character of our muni•
eipal institutions, so far operated on the mind of M.
Kossuth as to induce him to reconsider the subject, and
give an answer on Wednesday morning. Accordingly, yes-
terday the committee again met in Birmingham, and -Mr.
Toulmin Smith attended on the part of M. Kossuth. The
result was, that an invitation was accepted to a banquet in
the Town-hall, on Wednesday neat, and (as at present
arranged) it is most likely that Kossuth will enter Bir-
mingham on Monday next, ou his way to Manchester. A
grand procession will then take place, in which all the trades
in the town will join.
At Birmingham will be presented the addresses from
Cheltenham, Kidderminster, Derby, Coventry, Wal-
sall, Wolverhampton, Athebtone, Grantham, and all
the towns in the Midland districts. The surplus funds
arising from the banquet will he devoted to the Hungarian
cause, and placed at the disposal of Koesnith, to be applied
by him as may seem most advantageous. The arrange-
ments will in every way be such as to give to this the cha-
racter of a great Midland demonstration, in which all
parties may, and there is no doubt will, participate. At
the banquet the chair will be taken by Mr. Scholcheld, M.P.,
and a meet inllucutial committee and list of vice-presidents
have been formed.

At tho meeting of the committee appointed to
tarry out the presentation of the addresses from the metro-
politan boroughs, held last evening, communications from
Finsbury and Greenwich were read by Mr. lluggitt, the
hon. secretary, from the tenor of which it may be inferred
that the demonstration of the 13th instant will not be less
unanimous or enthusiastic than any that has been already
offered to the Hungarian general. Before the meeting
separated, a deputation was appointed to visit the Tower
Hamlets, with a view of insuring the co-operation of that
borough.
