TESTIMONIAL TO DR. LEVER.--A very pleasing
tribute of respect and friendship, as well as acknowledgment
of professional skill, has just been received by the family of
J. C. W. Lever, Esq., M.D., (one of the, Vhysicians of Gay's
Hospital), from a numb:er of ladies, being patients of his. It
consists of a marble bust of the Doctor, executed in the first
style of the art, by Baily, R. A. The presentation of the
, bust was made, on behalf' of the subscribers, by their trea-
-1 surer, Mr. Joshua W. Butterworth.

very rarely that public opinion is previously restricted
and clearly confined within certain limits—when men
say that although such be our public opinion,
we will not
avail ourselves of those media of action which circum-
stances may render necessary—thin I believe that in
that condition of things it it very possible that public
opinion will not be of any weight. Pabiic opinion, to
have an eft ct on the freedom of the world, must be ready
to say, Now we wi:l go to war if cur opinion be mis-
d.' Such pronuncilti,,n would be a (1•:-.cult tbirg to
obtain in England, wtt: re there are numerous classes
who would be te.rified at the name of war; if you
merely declare that ou sympathise with the cause of
free do but will never in tie), ea tai take up arms for it,
such public opinion merely gives a charter to despotism.
I will not say th it there is not one or another party
which does no: concur with him and his aims—l will nct
,ay that the whole Italian nation is included in his in-
dividuality; but this I knew, that a very large party—
the only party that has a future in Italy—is returned in
his parson (H. ALzzitii) "
Such opinions were adaiirably well adapted to that
particular auditory.
It is not merely, then, that M. Kossuth writes and
speaks clearly a foreign language; that has been
done by many others. We have had within the year
to speak of Signor Mariotti's work on Italy, written
in English with remarkable elegance and power. Sub-
sequently we noticed the scientific work of Mr.
Adorno, a Mexican gentleman, not long resident in
England, written by him in English that a native
might envy. It is not an uncommon thing for Ger-
mans, after a residence in England, or some acquaint-
ance with our countrymen, to write English ex-
tremely well. Mr. Ihekford wrote " Vathec " in
French with all the ease and charm of a Parisian.
Goldoni, an Italian, after some years' residence in
Paris, wrote a comedy in .Crench which acquired
great celebrity, and long kept possession of the French
stage in company with the comedies of Moliere. To com-
pose Latin and Greek is common to school-boys and
professors at Oxford. Whatever there may be sur-
prising in any or all these achievements is equalled by
the knowledge possessed by Kossuth, the Hungarian,
of the English language, and his facility of using it.
He never before was in England, he cannot have seen
and familiarly communicated with many Englishmen.
He has worked, as he says, for his own living. 'He
has been busily and continually engaged for many
years as a reporter, as an editor of a paper, as a
statesman, with the highest and most important
affairs, and his mastery over our language is itself
almost a miracle. But when to this we add an elo-
quence that, in speaking to Englishmen, is as influen-
tial as the orations of Brougham or the sermons of
Chalmers ; which affects the hearts and rouses the
passions of the multitude more, perhaps, than they
ever did ; which stirs the blood of Englishmen, and
kindles their political enthusiasm like the speeches of
Chatham ; Kossuth's power appears to us superior to
anything of the kind before heard of in the history
of mankind. The man is a psychological pheno-
menon, such as has very rarely, if ever, before been
known amongst men.
Other foreigners have of late years crowded into
the country, some of them making as great or greater
pretensions than Kossuth, but not one of them has
ever very successfully addressed in English an Eng-
lish audience At the dinner which followed the
meeting on Monday M. Louis Blanc had to speak to
his health : he has now been three years amongst us,
associating with literary men, while he is devoted to
literature; he replied in French. Signor Mazzini
has appeared more than once in public ; he is highly
esteemed by many persons, but his orations are not
remembered. IleriKinkel has been here. M. Ledru
Rollin is still here : the former lectured on German
literature, but neither of them, nor any foreigner ex-
cept Kossuth, has spoken at any length in English,
much less acquired a reputation as an English orator
equal to that of our most renowned speakers. He
stands alone amongst crowds of political refugees in
the wonderful mastery he has obtained over a
foreign language, and in the wonderful
knowledge he has acquired of the sentiments
adapted to different classes and descriptions of men.
The only circumstance that we remember at all akin
to his power is the preaching of Peter the Hermit,
who must have addressed the different Christian
nations in their own tongue when he roused Saxon
and Norman, Frank and German, Lombard and
Dane, and kindling in all the various people of
Europe a wonderful religious enthusiasm, impelled
them on Asia, and induced millions of men willingly
to lay down heir lives for their faith.
A question of some importance is, how did Kossuth
acquire this power ? Is he hituself conscious of pos-
sessing it ? The address to the people of the United
States, composed in the very beginning of 1850 or
the latter end of 1849, was written in Megyar, and
was translated in the United States. It is to be in-
ferred, therefore, that Kossuth at that period was not
sufficiently master of the English language to write in
it, much less to trust himself to speak in it. He
could not have acquired the power by art and industry
before that period, nor could he have had any know-
ledge of its existence within him till he reached our
shores. It was impossible that he should have had
from experience any consciousness of the influence he
was destined to exercise when he came hither. He
came as an exile, lie has spoken, and be finds himself
at home.

he is familiar with many persons and things, and mil-
lions of men, not long ago strangers to his name, are
now ready to peril their lives for his cause. They
would do as much for KossuLli as for their own Go-
vernment and country.

Asia is the land of prophets, the
birth• place of re-
ligious creeds. Every prevalent form of religion that
influences all the generations of men, Buddhism as well
as Christianity, Mahomedanism as well a ra mini B h • •
srn,
had its origin in Asia. The influence of Asiatic
thoughts and Asiatic eloquence has
for many ages
been conspicuous in human affairs. It would not,
therefore, he singular for the child of an Asiatic race,
endowed with an Asiatic mind, and the
eloquence,
which is one of the attributes of Asia, to be the pro-
phet of a new political creed. Can it be that he is
intended to be the common voice and the centre of
union for that democracy of whose sentiments he
appears so apt an interpreter, now apparently ripe
for united action ? Hitherto it has not found a
leader, but has been generally deceived, betrayed,
and deserted by all the demagogues in whom it has
.put its trust.
Whatever may be the real mission of such a man
—the sign of a great disease or a great improvement
—and whatever may be its results, the peculiar adap-
tation of his sentiments to others and his vast influ-
ence are facts which must not be overlooked. It is
of infinite importance also that his influence should be
rightly directed. We shall have lived and studied in-
deed in vain, and statesmen and public writers will
boast very erroneowly of their knowledge and
wisdom, if they are unable to make such a phenome-
non the instrument of good, and if they allow it to
become the source of disorder, disturbance, and con-
vulsion. What he has hitherto done seems unimpor-
tant in comparison to what, if he live, he may do.
That his influence should be guided by wise councils
is now a matter of some consequence to the civilized
world, as well as to M. Kossuth. If, with a universal
diffusion of calicoes and cutlery, of tea and coSfee,
there is also to be a universal diffusion of similar
moral qualities and similar political creeds—if the
union of mankind by trade is to be followed by
their union through similar political sentiments
and forms of government—if a close moral as well as
a material connexion be in the course and order of
nature—and if M. Kossuth be an instrument for pro-
moting that end—it must be the duty of all men to
bring it about racefully, and with as much respect
as possible for the prejudices and privileges, for the
dignities and righ's of those whose superiority, the
offspring of a past, will be incompatible with the
future condition of society.
M. Kossuth's address has found ready acceptance
in the United States. The journals, which there are
an expression of the people's feelings and opinion!,
have praised it much. Both in America, teeming
with refugees from all tarts of Europe, and here
znnengst ourselves, and on the continent, the inter-
ference of the great American democracy in the political
of eirs of Europe is spoken of and invoked. Over that
democracy M. Kossuth is obviously destined to exer-
cise great power. We may imagine what his in-
fluence will be there from his address, and from
what it has been here. Over Europe, too, that
democracy, influenced by him, will, in its turn, ex-
ercise increasing influence. It has alrsay' had great
effect. No art can conceal the magnificent growth of
the United States in power, nor d. • isguise its cause
from the suffering people of Europe. The old state-

ment, of a great abundance of Lind being the source
of the wonderful prosperity, is put down alike by
the acknowledged fact, that labour produces all
wealth, wins it from the sea and the deep caverns of
the c-arth, as well as from its fertile, illumined, and
gladsome surface—and by the fact that in the slowly-
improving or retrograding countries of Europe, Lind,
in relation to people, is more abundant than in the
inhabited portions of the Statcs. To prevent the in-
fluence of the American democracy over the popula-
tion of Europe—to check the admiration of the
print ipies of its Government, which has already led
to i:ni•etion in the most renowil nation of Earoi,e,
and which is doily growing i❑ strength and influence
as its vast resources and rapid improvements become
known—is now impassible. Those Governments on
the Continent, therefore, will be wise which recoq,oi-e
these facts in time, and take measures, like the Presi-
dent of the French Republic, to make the multitude
the supporters •of order, by showing a deference to
their wishes, and admitting them to a share of politi-
cal power.

KOSSUTH AND THE POLISH AND BUS-
GARIAN BALL.
Yesterday a meeting of the Polish and Hungarian
committee took place in the Guildhall, for the pur-
pose of completing the arrangements for the ball and
concert to be given for the benefit of the Polish and
Hungarian refugees.
Mr. Deputy Holt in the chair. There were pre-
sent the following members (,f the committee :—Mr.
Singer, Mr. Deputy Britten, Mr. Bayless, Mr. Gold-
smith, Mr. Davidson, Mr. R. Read, Mr. Lister, Mr.
Fox, Mr. Davis, Mr. E. Woodthorpe, Mr. Brooke,
Mr. Perkins, Mr. Eyke, Mr. Birkbeck, Mr. Young,
Mr. M.Donnell, Lieutenant S ulczewski, Mr.
Bishop, Mr. Rose, Mr. Vile, Mr. Septimus Read,
Mr. Sandford, M.P., and Mr. George Walter.
Some conversation took place amongst the mem-
bers on the subject of the following letter, which ap-
peared in the Times newspaper of that morning :
" KOSSUTH AND THE ITALIANS.

" TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES.

" Sir,—Can you or any of your readers inform me
whether there is any foundation for the following
story, which I find in to-day's Dover Telegraph, part
of tho letter of that paper's London correspondent?—
" On Tuesday a meeting of the Polish committee
was held, to arrange the programme of the grand ball
at the Guildhall. The bill of the ball was to be de-
cided upon, and the 'proof' showed an announce-
ment of the presence of ' Kossuth, the Great Hun-
garian Patriot.' Immediately there arose a Liberal
Member of Parliament, a fast friend of every people
in a state of insurrection against despotism. Pulling
from his pocket a portentous packet, the Hon. Mem-
ber moved that the word patriot should be erased.
Much clamour being raised, he read from the
Hungarian Diet a resolution, moved by Kossuth,
" That a contingent of 48,000 men be granted to
support the honour of the Austrian arms in ItIly."
Certain Poles and Hungarians deplored the schism,
but admitted the fact. Lord Dudley Stuart had
heard of the proposed objection and stayed away.
Tehement oratory and gesticulation ensued, but the
M.P. repeating in substance the words that I used
last week—namely, that a man was not a patriot be-
cause, having manifested a willingness to be the in-
strument of tyranny, he had happened to become its
victim, persisted in his opposition, and the matter
was adjourned for future consideration.

" If one word of this be true, what shall we say to
the Italian exiles' who are addressing this excellent
patriot who voted 48,000 men to cut their throats ?
What shall we say of the man who accepts these
compliments ?
"Dover, Nov. 8. " QuenE."
As the meeting alluded to in the letter had been
called merely for the purpose of adopting resolutions
relating to matters of no public interest, and no inti-
mation whatever was given to our reporter whose duty
it is to attend to the proceedings of the Guildhall that
any movement with regard to Kossuth was in con-
templation, there appeared no account of what took
place upon the occasion.
The CHAIRMAN said the attack upon Kossuth, re-
ferred to in the letter, was a complete surprise upon
him and the other members of the committee who
were present on Tuesday week, and he considered that
he was bound to state that the gentleman who brought
forward the accusation, which was so suddenly and
unceremoniously made, was Mr. Chisholm Anstey,
the Member for Youghal.
Mr. YOUNG thought it would be wise in the com-
mittee to discuss the necessary preparations for the
ball and concert, and not meddle with any political
disagreements arising from the conduct of any indi •
vidual whom they might expect as a guest. They
were justified in hoping that the presence of Kossuth
would be instrumental to a crowded and most profit-
able ball, and they were interested in his appearance
just so far as it would be likely to be advantageous to
.he charity.
Several gentlemen were of opinion that it would be
advisable in such members of the committee as had
been present when Mr. Anstey introduced the subject
in which he reprobated the conduct of Kossuth to
draw up, from their recollection of what had oc-
curred, a note of the transaction which had given rise
t) the comments made by the correspondent of the
Dover paper.
Mr. SINGER then drew up the following statement,
to the fairness of which the members who witnessed
the scene bore immediate testimony :
"At a meeting of the committee, after some preli-
minary business, Mr. Chisholm Anstey aught per-
mission of the chairman (if it was the proper time) to
ask some questions which might affect his continuance
on the committee. This being granted, he said he
wished to ascertain whether it was the intention of
the committee to allow the name of Kossuth to appear
on the general bill of the Polish and Hungarian ball
committee in as prominent a manner as in those
already circulated, for although his name might be
of little consequence, yet to preserve his own con-
sistency of character, he could not allow it to be
associated in such a manner with one who
had himself shown such inconsistency. The fact
to which he alluded was, that 'iliossuth.had moved in
the Hungarian Diet that a corps be formed to cut the
throats of the Italian Independents.' A member of
the committee inquired whether Mr. Anstey had
made inquiry into the truth of the statement, to which
he replied that the circumstance was published in a
volume he held, and also in a paper he had with him.
The committee declining to entertain such an accusa-
tion upon the slight testimony produced, Mr. Anstey
left the room, and it was moved and resolved that Mr.
Anstey's name be erased from the committee. Oa
the above occasion no Hungarians or Poles' were
present, except only the secretary of the Polish As-
sociation, M. Szulczewski, who abstained from offer-
ing any remarks. Lord Dudley Stuart was not then
present, although he afterwards arrived, having been
detained from unavoidable circumstances from attend-
ing the commencement of the business of the commit-
tee on that day, nor had his Lordship the least inti-
mation of the subject being introduced by the Hon.
Member."

Mr. CAR; the secretary to the committee, referred
to the minute of the proceedings on the day Mr. An-
stey appeared to make his objection. In that minute
it was merely stated that Mr. Anstey addressed the
committee on the subject of Kossuth ; no intimation
was given of the intended resumption of the subject.
The names of the members present were stated to be
Mr. Deputy Holt, the chairman • Mr. Bayless, Mr.
Goldsmith, Mr. Singer, Mr. Deputy Britten, Mr.
Davidson, sir. R. Read, Mr. Lister, Mr. Fox, Mr. E.
Woodthorpe, Mr. John Bennet, Mr. Vile, Mr.
Thompson, Mr. Davis, Mr. Brooke, Mr. Perkins, Mr.
Eyke, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. D. Nicoll, and Mr. Sand-
ford, M.P.

Mr. BROOKE said he recollected well having made
an observation expressive of his doubt of the con-
sistency of Mr. Anstey, in the vicissitudes of that
gentleman's Parliamentary career; and he also recol-
lected the motion for striking the llon. Member's
name off the list, in which proposition there was per-
fect acquiescence.
Mr. SINGER here stated that he had written a
letter to Kossuth, representing the substance of the
communication in the Times newspaper with respect
to the grant of the contingent of 48,000 men for the
support of the Austrian arms in Italy, and requesting
to be informed whether that information was true. `.Co
that letter he had received an answer, signed by
Kossuth's secretary, stating that Kossuth directed him
to write that he had never moved in the Ilungaiian
Diet such a resolution as was so unjustly imputed-
to him.
Ths above is the substance of the correspondence
between Mr. Singer and Kossuth. We are prevented.

Mr. 2:PDONNELL said he regretted that he was not
prevent when the letter of Mr. Singer and the answer
of Kossuth were read, as he considered that the
publication of the contents might not be altogether
fair towards the latter. It was probable that Kossuth
might have been tliZ.r the obligation, in the official
situation which he held, not only to agree to, but to
move, the resolution for the grant of the contingent in
support of the Austdm af mi. That would lee doing
no more than was to b. expned froze ITurgsry,
v.-hen on fliendly terms with Austria, and had for its
au'liJrity the general practice of nations towards each
other ; end Kosi-ich might be altogether free from
censure under the circuinstinces.
111 r. Ito 3E was also of opinion that a gond deal of
caution ought to be used in publishing matter of such
a nature. The committee might find that there were
sources of intelligence es to the atiaita of Austiia and
Hungary which were less questionable than they had
at their command. He thought, too, that an ensurer
might be given upon u subject, the full knowledge of
which was not communicated in the statement of the
case and he did not like to expose Kossuth to injuries
and mistaken imputations. Ile apprehend:A that the
Times poesessed means of correct information, and he
cautioned the committee against leaving themselves
°Fen to uneccessery cherges.
The committee then prcceeded to the consideration
of the ball and concert details, and received intelli-
gence of a most extensive sale of tickets.

DEATH OF MATTHIAS ATTWOOD, ESQ.
(raom A CORRESPONDENT.)
Mr. M. Attwood depatted this life on Tuesday
morning, at his residence on Dulwich-hill, in the
72d year of his age. Tbis lamented gentleman was
a Member of the House of Commons for 30 years,
having represented more than one borough; and for
several years he sat as the elected of Whitehaven, in
Cumberland, but retired from Parliamentary strife
and the active life of a politician so late as the last
general election. In politics, Mr. M. Attwood was a
staunch Conservative, and will long be remembered
for his able speeches on the currency question. Earl
Grey and Mr. Atwood were the only members to be
found to raise their voice in the Commons against that
iniquitous Act, the Bill of ]Bl9. As a citizen, he may
be acid to have left behind him lasting monuments of
the fertility of his brain, end his ready and great
adaptability to monetary and commercial affairs. So
varied were his capacities, it may be said tbat he was
fully equal to any task imposed upon him. He
founded the National Provincial Bank of Ireland, end
was at one period of his life chairman, we believe, of no
Jess than seven city companies. With the aid of a
few friends he permanently established the General
Steam Navigation Company, of which he was the
chairman, till he resigned that post to his son, Mr.
Wolverly Attwood, the ex-member for Greenwich.
By Mr. Attwood's death vacancies occur in the di-
rection of the Irish baulk before mentioned, in the
Pelican and Phoenix Assurance Companies, and in the
Imperial and Continental Ges Association.
Mr. Attwood was in the court of the Merchant
Tailors' Company, had served his year of office as
governor, and at all times took a lively interest in
the chatitabls affairs of the corporation.
The great feature on the life of him so recently
taken from us, was, however, the part he took in en-
deavouring to reform the basis of the circulation, and
to make the national currency more suited to the re-
pamphlets lao,
prophetic
re-
quirements of the age. Though gone, his writings
the

and speeches are left for the guidance of present or

results that afterwards followed the law of 1819.
Mr. Cobbett had denounced the Suspension
Act, and was a staunch disciple of the bul-
lionist creed ; but when in 1811 he read from
the pen of Mr. Attwood a full description of what
might be expected to follow in the wake of a return
to cash payments, he saw directly that he would be
a ruined man, for he had been investing his money
in farms, and the alteration of th© currency, by
doubling the real value of money, and thus doubling
ell debts and mortgages, was sure, in the end, to fall
with full force on his pecuniary resources. Notwith-
standing Mr. Attwood's warning, the House of Com-
mons, according to Mr. Mushet, went on, in real ig-
norance of the ancient standard, to re-enact the old
laws, and instead of inflicting, as we supposed, only
a depreciation of 5 per cent., it was afterwards ad-
mitted that the rise in the value of money and corre-
sponding decrease in value of property was full 50
per cent. Mr. Ricardo lived to confess his error ; but
there was one worthy person who took part with Mr.
Attwood to avert the ruinous consequences then
threatened, and that was the first Sir R. Peel. ‘Vhen
Mr. Peel was about to introduce his famous Bill of
1819, Mr. Attwood called a meeting of the
merchants, bankers, and traders of the City
to petition Parliament against the revolutionary
change. The evening previous to the gathering at the
North and South American Coffee-house, Sir R.
Peel called at Gracechurch street, and sent his card
to Mr. Attwood; the latter gentleman thought at the
time that he called to scold him for opposing his son,
but he was soon undeceived by Sir Robert telling
him that he had exerted all bis influence over Mr.
Peel to induce him to abandon the Bill, but without
effect, and that he (Sir Robett) should attend the
meeting and throw in his interest against the then
embryo Act. Sir Robert Peel not only attended the
meeting, but presented the petition, which contained
the name of every London banker, with the exception
of one, and was most numerously and influentially
signed. Sir Robert Peel was alive to the stigma that
would attach to bis family name, and though, es he
confessed, it would double bis fortune, he did not
wish to prevent the rise of others by the same means
es employed by himself to found a house with an
honourable reputation.
Mr. M. Attwood was fully prepared for his latter
end, and as his life was free from moral stain, he
yielded his soul to his Maker in tranquillity, and de-
parted in peace, hoping and trusting to meet with a
reward in another world for his long and useful
labours in this.—Herald.
