WELCOME TO LOUIS KOSSUTII
A SONG BY GERALD MASSEY, A WORKING NAN.
Awake, each patriot sire and son,
And join us heart and hand,
To welcome freedom's glorious one
Within our fatherland!
He needs no proud triumphal arch,
No banners on the wind,
In hearts that beat his triumph-march
See Kossnth's fitly shrined!
We'll meet him here, we'll greet him here—
In honour's arms we'd press him,
And Kings have no such welcome dear,
As Kossuth hath: God bless him !
He rose like freedom's morning-star,
Where all was sad and dim—
We saw his glory from afar,
And fought in soul for him.
We hail'd him brother 'mid the strife,
And in his presence met—
We'll show the world some noble life
Lives in Old England yet!
We'll meet him here, we'll greet him here—
in honour's arms we'll press him!
And Kings have no such welcome dear,
As Kossuth hath: God bless him!
His land was billow'd o'er with graves
Of martyrs, not in vain:
Lo! what a golden harvest waves
Its fruit from that red rain!
And yet his gleaming sword shall glare
The despots' glory dim:
And palsy strike the arm that dare
Not strike a blow for him.
We'll meet him here, we'll greet him here—
In honour's arms we'll press him,
And Kings have no such welcome dear,
As Kossuth hath: God bless him

" ARCHBISHOP" M'HALE IN LONDON.—Yesterday
morning a sermon was preached by " The Lion of the Fold
of Judah," the Rev. Dr. M'Hale, the titular Archbishop of
Tuam, at the Roman Catholic Chapel in Rosoman-street,
Clerkenwell. Dr. M'Hale arrived in London yesterday, and
it was not announced publicly that he intended to preach so
soon after his arrival in the capital. He was accompanied by
the Sheriff of London, Mr. Swift, of Hatton-garden, and ar-
rived at the chapel at ten o'clock in the state carriage. The
sermon was taken from the 9th chapter of St. Luke,
verses 27 and 28, and was delivered with that clear
and distinct enunciation which is said by his enthusi-
astic admirers to be a great feature in the discourses of the
luminary of the far west. At the conclusion of the service
the Rev. Preacher left in the state carriage, accompanied by
the Rev. Mr. Kyne, of Duke-street Chapel, Lincoln's Inn-
fields. Although the sermon was not announced, the chapel
was thronged to suffocation.
FATAL COLLISION ON THE YOUR AND NORTH
MIDLAND RAILWAY.—BURTON SALMON, SATURDAY.—Au
inquest was held here to-day before C. Jewison, Esq.,
coroner, on view of the body of Thomas Gowland, a guard
on the above line of railway, who was killed yesterday, a
short distance from Burton Salmon station, near to the spot
where the junction of the Great Northern Railway occurs.
The deceased's death was caused by a collision between a coke
ands goods train. The coke train, of which the deceased was
guard, left York yesterday morning; and when it arrived at
Burton Salmon it was overtaken by a short goods train
from Milford Junction, which ran into a carriage behind the
van of the coke train, in which van the deceased was, and
forced it into the van, which was very much broken. The
deceased fell out of the van on to the line, and was removed
to the station, where he died about two hours afterwards,
one of his arms and his body having been dreadfully
crushed. After hearing all the evidence, the jury returned
a verdict of accidentally killed. At the same time they con-
sidered that there had been some negligence on the part of
the driver of the engine of the second train in not sounding
his whistle on approaching the coke train, and they trusted
that the melancholy result of this accident would prove a
caution to railway officials generally for the future.
THE LATE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT CAMBERWELL.
On Saturday evening it was currently reported that Mary
Ann Fawcett, who had survived the murderous attacks of
her maniacal parent, had sunk and expired from the effects
of the injuries received; but on inquiry it was ascertained
that such reports were groundless, and that she is gradually
recovering, but so slowly as to render it exceedingly doubt-
tul that she will be able to attend as a witness at the ad-
journed inquest, to be held on Wednesday next. During
yesterday a great number of persons assembled in the
Wyndham-road, contiguous to the scene of this fearful
tragedy, many under the impression that the bodies would
be interred in the afternoon, but the funeral, it is now un-
derstood, will not take place until after the close of the inquest.
NARROW ESCAPE.—Yesterday morning, between
nine and ten o'clock, a young woman, who was crossing the
St. Pancras-road, near King's-cross, as a gentleman was
going along in his chaise, was knocked down by the horse
and ran over. The gentleman instantly pulled up, and not-
withstanding the horse trampled on her, and the chaise
passed over her arms, she escaped unhurt.
CURIOUS DISCOVERY OF A. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.
—CIRENCESTER, SATURDAY.—A rather unusual instance of
a detection of a robbery after a lapse of years has just taken
place here, and the party charged as the offender is now in
custody, and will, on the completion of the evidence, be
committed for trial at the next Gloucestershire assizes. The
circumstances, as they have transpired before the magis-
trates here, are as follow:—The prisoner, James Winslow,
is the driver of a mail cart from this town to the Tetbury-
road station of the Great Western Railway, and was so in
1847. In the month of February in that year a 20/. note
was enclosed in a letter, and posted in London for a Mrs.
Harlock, at South Carney, Wilts, and would have to pass
through the prisoner's hands. The letter never reached its
intended destination, and, notwithstanding strict inquiries,
the matter remained in mystery until recently. The note
had been stopped payment (it was a Bank of England note),
and had never been presented until the end of August. The
prisoner was in London on the 15th of that month, having
obtained leave of the Post-office authorities to go to town to
see the Exhibition. In the evening of that day, in company
with another man, he went to the shop of Mr: Bryant, an
outfitter, of Aldgate, and purchased a waterproof coat and
pair of leggings, tendering the 201. note in payment. When
asked to sign his name at the back, he wrote" James Wil-
son" instead of his own signature, and when questioned sub-
sequently denied at first that he had made any such pur-
chase in London. On Mr. Bryant presenting the note at
the Bank of England it was stopped. Mr. Bryant, when
before the magistrates, deposed that to the best of his belief
the prisoner was the man who purchased the articles in his
shop and signed the name " John Wilson" on the back of
the note. The person who accompanied him was not so
stout, and said he was a farmer. Mr. Squires, the Cirencester
ipnoswtminassitoewr,,salhsoanexdwprreitsisneg.
expressed his belief that the signature was

LONDON DISTRICT LETTER CARRlERS.—Yester-
day the annual levee of this hardworking portion of officers
connected with the public service was held at the General
Post-office. The object of the meeting was the distribution
of the several " walks" amongst the men, who, by the prac-
tice of this department, are allowed such periodical opportu-
nities of moving from their several districts, according to
their seniority. In addition to the superintending
president, there were also present Walter Robertson
Sculthorpe, Esq., President; Henry Wilson, Esq.; and
Messrs. Raw and Blurtoni the surveyors to the depart-
ment. The changes were not numerous, though not fewer
than 700 officers were present, the men not being desirous of
moving from their different districts, as the year has so far
advanced. It was generally expected that some announce-
ment would have been made to the men with respect to the
fact of ss. per week having been for some time past taken
away from the seniors, but, no intimation was made upon the
subject.

A FEMALE FOUND IN THE RIVER THAMES.—
A respectably dressed female, apparently about 30 years of
age, was on Saturday night last, at high water, discovered
floating on the surface of the water, near the lower Middlesex
side of Waterloo-bridge. By inquiry it was ascertained that
the name of the deceased is Warwick, the wife of a tradesman
in the neighbourhood of Clare-market, and has been missing
from home for several days past.

SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY EVENING, OCT. s.—The
United States mail steamship Hermann, Captain J. D. Wil-
son, arrived here at five r.R. this afternoon from Bremen,
having encountered very severe weather during her run from
the Weser to Southampton. She will depart from Southamp-
ton for New York with the usual semi-weekly mails on Wed-
nesday next.
REPRESENTATION OF EAST RETFORD.—The elec-

tion for the Hundred of Basssetlaw, vacant by the retirement
of Captain Duncombe, who will to-morrow be elected as the
representative of the East Riding, is not, as was at first
thought, likely to pass over without a contest. The Hon.
W. E. Duncombe, who was early in the field under the Pro-
tectionist banner, was expected to walk over unopposed;
but a feeling is alleged to exist among a portion of the con-
stituency that East Retford ought not to be a mere pocket
borough, and Admiral Sir Charles Napier has therefore been
invited to stand forward on the Liberal interest. It is be-
lieved that the gallant Admiral will accede to the call made
upon him, and give to the electors in a few days a public
declaration of his principles.
FIRE AND Loss of LIFE IN HOUNDSDITCH.—
Yesterday, about eleven o'clock, considerable confusion was
paused amongst the inhabitants of Gravel-lane, Houndsditch,
in consequence of violent screams, accompanied with cries of
fire, proceeding from the house numbered 26 in that tho-
roughfare. Several of the neighbours immediately rushed
into the premises, when on entering the first floor front they
perceived a terrible scene, for in the middle of the room was
the unfortunate occupant completely enveloped in flames.
The necessary intelligence was promptly forwarded to
Jeffrey-square Brigade Station for assistance; during the
time the firemen were arriving the neighbours kept pouring
buckets of water upon the premises, which had the effect of
preventing the building from being destroyed, but before the
flames were subdued the unfortunate person was burned
almost as black as a coal. Aledical aid was sent for, and on
the arrival of a surgeon he pronounced life quite extinct.
The deceased's name was Catharine Wolf, 78 years of age,
and stone blind.

ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.-
On Saturday afternoon au accident happened on the South-
Western Railway at Guildford. It appears that a man
named Alder, employed as a tapler on the line, was doing
something to the metals at the time a train of ballast trucks
was moving out, and before he could get out of the way the
wheels of the train passed over his left foot, and after cutting
the toes off, they passed some distance up the leg. The poor
fellow was picked up, blood gushing in streams from the
injured limb. He was placed in a horse-box and conveyed
to the Waterloo-road terminus, and from thence on a stretcher
to St. Thomas's Hospital. The injuries the unfortunate man
has received are of a such a serious character that his re-
covery is exceedingly doubtful.

GREATLY OBLIGED.—A learned German astrologer
has ascertained that the earth will be destroyed by a comet
in exactly twenty-two million years. The 'cute philosopher
deserves the public thanks for postponing the event to so
distant a day.
