KOSSUTH.

The Paris Pres,ve publishes the following reply to
the calumnies on lic,.isuth which, emanating from the
forgery department of the Austrian Chancery, have
been transmitted to the jcurnals which are organs of
the Austrian (iovernmsnt, at:d are now in the course
of publication in France and in thit country :

" The Government has not permitted Kossuth to
pass through France ; the Constitutdinnel is not sa-
tisfied with this refusal ; it insults the noble exile, it
reproaches him with having usurped power, and with
only makinar the most miserable use of it. In this,
the Constitutionnel only repeats what was said by the
official journals of Austria at the time of the breaking
out of the Hungarian insurrection. Kossuth, ac-
cording to their accounts, was only an ambitious
man, a fanatic, a petty lawyer, and an insignificant
journalist. The great monarchy laughed at the ef-
forts of this scribbler, of whom the valiant
marshals of the empire would only make one mouth-
ful. The bombarder of Prague, Prince de Win-
disohgratz, was chosen to bring to reason this
drOle, and the handful of wretches whom he had
faoaticised by his ideas of nationality and indepen-
dence. The first bulletins of the campaign ex-
hausted the vocabulary of contemptuous terms for the
insurgents, and of glorious epithets for the imperial
army. The occups,ion of Buda and of Pesth in No-
vember, 1848, was considered as the termination of
the war. ATe Deuce was sung. The revolutionists
of Kossuth hzd, it was said, vanished at the
approach of Windiscbgratz, and Hungary
was more than ever united to Austria.
The news was every day expected at Vienna
of the total dispersion of the bands who still
infested the country, and who were vigorously pur-
sued by the faithful subjects of the legitimate sove-
reign. The stupefaction was consequently great when
it was known that these bands had become regular
armies, having as much discipline and more valour than
the imperial army, and that Windiscbgratz had been
obliged to fly, leaving in the bands of the rebels a great
number of prisoners and military stores of all kinds.
The invincible marshal was recalled, and this superb
hombarder, who admitted none but princes in his staff,
and who kept up an almost royal court, was obliged
to retire into Moravia, to an estate mortgaged to M. de
Rothschild. There was then a short cessation of hostili-
ties, which Kossuth admirably turned to account. The
preaarataons which he made, the order which he esta.
blii.hed in every branch of the Government at Co-
morn, at Cronstadt, and at Kaschau, the pecuniary resources which he organized, and the enthusiasm which he awakened were truly prodigious. Five
armies, forming an ensemble of 180,000 men with
an artillery of more than 300 pieces of cannon,
three fortresses of the first rank, and a great number
of second and third-rate ones, all well supplied with
warlike stores,—such were the elements which this
man, endowed with fabulous activity, placed at the
service of his country, which was struggling for its
independence. It marched from victory to victory,
until the moment when Austria, beaten, ruined, and
discouraged, was reduced to the degree of humi-
liation of confessing her weakness before Europe, by
appealing to Russia for assistance. Indelible
disho-
nour, which henceforth made of the imperial army
the advanced guard of the Cossacks against the liberty
of Europe I This is what the Constitutionnel calls
making the most miserable use of power.' As we
shall have at some future day to return to the affair of
Hungary, we shall now no further insist on it. Our
only wish, by these few remarks, has been to show
what there is unjust and inconsistent in the manner
in which the friends of the Government treat an il-
lustrious man, whose misfortunes. ought at least to

Tuesday evening next; and, as the reader will
perceive from the list of leading artists given below,
with a company worthy of all its ancient renown. In
addition to Mine. Barbieri Nini, and other brilliant
talents not yet beard in Paris, every musical reader

MRS. DEXTER IN GLASGOW.
The announcement that this celebrated advocate of
the Bloomer costume was to address a public audience
in the City Hall, and appear in the dress, drew an
immense number of people to the Hall on Monday
night, the demand for tickets during the day being
almost unprecedented. The speculation, for such we
understand it to be, must therefore hare proved a
tolerably successful one, as there could not have
been fewer than 4,000 people in the Hall, not
t ileing into account the number of disappointed
ticket-holders, whose clamours for admittance,
after the Hall was choke full, were both loud
and long. Long before eight o'clock, the large
area and galleries were crowded to excess, even stand-
ing room was at a premium—every one being anxious
at any sacrifice of personal ease or comfort, to obtain a
view of the Bloomer. The appearance of the lady,
escorted by a young gentleman, one of the speculators,
as we understand, was the signal for a tremendous
burst of noise—it is impossible to call it cheering—
from all parts of the hall. Her dress was of course the
object of eage-r_scrutiny ; and we observe(' various des-
perate attempts on the part of undersized gents. to get
a glimpse of that garment which Mrs. Dexter chooses
to designate by the name of trousers. Taking this
lady's attire as a criterion of the elegance and com-
fort of the Bloomer costume, we believe that very few
who saw her would care about saying that it pos-
sessed much of either of these qualities. It presented
the nearest approximation, in our view, to the riding
habit of a horsewoman, with the long skirts cut off
an inch or two below e knee—their place being
supplied by short wide trowsers, reaching to and
fastened round the ankles, the whole being terminated
by cloth boots. The only thing decorative was a
broad scarf and sash of Victoria tartan thrown over
the shoulders and fastened round the waist ;
but the general effect of the whole dress was
anything but handsome. This may possibly be
owing to the wearer, who is rather of a petite
figure, and not exactly cast in the mould of the Venus
de Medici; but whatever be the reason, very few
ladies (and there were many present) are likely to be
converted to fromßloomerismgb. t tahebespmecaitmereinalperfeswenbtieehd

subjected, cannot
of age, and may be more—but this is a delicate
subject, and we forbear pursuing it. It is unneces-
sary following the lady throughout the lecture,
which she contrived, in the midst of repeated inter-
ruptions, to deliver. Of course she insisted on the
absolute right of the fair sex to adopt that style of
dress which they conceived to be most conducive to
their personal comfort and convenience, and main-
tained that in the Bloomer costume—of which she
declared the advantages from personal experience—
there was nothing offensive to modesty. On the
contrary, she avowed that it was both convenient,
modest, and becoming; and expressed her assurance
• that it would be adopted by every woman of
good heart and disposition. A cruel wag in the
I hall at this point raised a laugh at the expense of the
; fair Bloomer, by v..-king her if she included along with
these "good understandings." Amidst various epi-
sodes of this kind, which every now and then checked
' the progress of the lecture for a few minutes, Mrs.
Dexter struggled on and made her bow to the audi-
ence about half•past nine o'clock, amid tremendous
cheering, hooting, waving of hats, &c. With some
difficulty she got off the platform and into a side
room, where we presume she waited till the coast was
clear, though we have little doubt that the groups,
who were gathering round the foot of the stairs lead-
ing to the hall, would not allow her to leave without
a noisy demonstration at parting.—North British

THE GREAT WRESTLING MATCH FOR
THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENGLAND, AND
300 L, AT ULVERSTON.
(From the Ulverston Advertiser of this day.)
At length tho anxiously expected match between
the two renowned aspirants to the championship of
the northern wrestling ring has been decided, and
the Ulverston ring has been the chosen arena in
which they met. For a long series of years Ul-
verston has been renowned for holding one of the
most celebrated wrestling meetings in the kingdom.
Here men whose prowess has, rendered them celebrated
have met yearly to decide on whom rested the palm of
superiority; and yesterday two of the most remarkable
men in Engllll,l—not alone for their wrestling capabili-
ties and the ease with which, in the manly back-hold
style, they can throw all other men, but for their gigantic
stature and formation—have met and decided which is
entitled for the future to the grand distinction of cham-
pion, and the rich priza of 300 sovereigns.
