DEPARTURE OF KOSSUTH.

SotornamyroN, Tnuasnar.—The arrival of the
Me.g:eer chieftain at Southampton, for the purpose of
ernharlzing for the United State:, was made veMe by
the "rPoratioa and the town. Early in the morning
the public buildirgs and numerous ptivate houses dis-
played the -Royal standard, union jacks, the Hunga-
rian and United Se:tes colours. The Mayor and
Council r.oct at nine o'clock at the Audit House, and
proceeded to the terminus of the. South-Western Rail-
way, where, headed by the town sergeants, with their
made and other pa;sphernalia all in robes, they
waited the arrival of Kos,.aith, and' no short time, for,
owing to a fall of seow between Basingstoke and
Winchester, the train which should have arrived
at ten o'clock, did not arrive till 11.30 a.m.
Kossuth, his lady, and suite, were received
by the Mayor, Corporation, the American Consul
(Mr. Cowley), and other gentlemen. The ladies
proceeded in carriages, the gentlemen walked in pro-
cession, to the American Consulate. At a quarter to
one all parties proceeded to the Royal Pier, off which
was anchored the Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steam-ship Jupiter, dressed out in colours. There
was a goodly number of company on the pier, but
the quays end platform were crowded. The hells of
Holy rood rung out their peals. The 'Mayor and cor-
poration, besides numerous visitors, proceeded by a
smaller steamer on board the Jupiter, and on her
swinging from her moorings, a salute of 21 guns was
fired from the town battery. Kossuth was mark-
edly affected by the sympathy shown him. The ladies
pressed upon him to shake hands, and took particular
interest in his lady, who seemed to have suffared
greatly. The enthusiastic and endearing exclamations
of numerous Hungarians, who had come to bid a
farewell to their gallant chief, were very impressive.
SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY NlGHT.—Kossutb, with
his suite, left the Royal Pier in the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Jupiter soon after one
o'clock, accompanied by the Mayor and corporation
of the town, and a large party of ladies and gentle-
men, amongst whom were Lord Dudley S. ruart,
Colonel Salwey, M.P. for Ludlow, Edward Nightin-
gale, Esq., and others. A splendid (16ciiner was
provided on board, at the evo•nse of the Mayor and
• -
eorperatior, of width about sixty
o
gEntleme.n
ed t.or partookin
in the chief saloon, the ladies being provia
the ladies' cabin.

Af:er the rorrioval of the cloth the Mayor gave the
usual loyal toasts, w7!ich were succeEded by " The
health of Louis Kossuth," to which that geotkuun
replicd in a brilliant speech of Satre dUratiOD. It
was, however, almost a recapitulation of his former
speeches, with a grticeful tribute to England, and thw
Mayor of Southampton in particular, for the princely
hospitality ha had exnerienct d whilst :.ojeurning in
this country.
The HumbAdt steam•ship had not arrived at Cowes
at sun-set, owing, no doubt, to adv+-rse winds. As the
company who lied acc:mpanied Kossuth to Cowes
were necessitated to return, the illustrious chi 4 eru•
harked from the Juditer on board a smaller steamer
hi:1(11v provided by J. R. Croskey, Esq , the Ameri-
can Consul. Hearty and prolonged cheers were
given as the exiled party stepped fror-q the Jupiter to
the steamer, with sincere wishes for a sate and prospe-
rous voyage. _ . _

_
As it iu somewhat foggy, it is possible the Hum-
boldt mly not arrive until the morning,. In this case
the small steam-shin will lay in Cowes roads until bar
arrival.

The suite of Kossuth consists of about 15 persons,
including M. and Madame Pulezky.
The Jupiter arrived in docks about nine o'clock,
after an extremely pleasant day.
Lola Montes is waiting at Cowes for tbo Hum-
boldt, so that she will be a passenger to New York in
the same vessel as Kossuth and his friends.
ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT.
SOUTHAMPTON, ELEVEN P M.
The Earl of Maluiesbury has just landed the mails
brought by the Humboldt, which arrived off Cowes
at a quarter to nine o'clock. Kossuth and his party
went on board at nine, and the vessel forthwith pro-
ceeded down. the Channel.

THE SIBERIAN ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
We understand that Lieutenant Pita started for
Dover and Calais yesterday morning. He travels by
railway via Berlin to Warsaw, and thence to St.
Petersburgh. It is hardly to he doubted that his
Imperial Majesty will afford all the desired assistance,
and that we shall see this spirited enterprise conducted
in a manner worthy of its great object. We rejoice
to perceive that from the Treasury and the Foreign-
office Lieutenant Pim has received that support
which, had the Admiralty promoted his undertaking,
would have been needless. The Treasury grant,
conveyed by Lord John Russell with so much
kindly feeling, ;is a most material addition to the
private funds which had already been supplied ; and
thus furnished, we think that Lieutenant Pim may
be congratulated upon possessing every possible
facility for the prosecution of his work.
Since the publication of Lieutenant Pies plan,
presented to the Geographical Society, several naval
officers have come forward to express their desire to
accompany him.

THE PRIZE LIFE-BOAT.
The life-boat, built and designed by Mr. James
Beaching, of Yarmouth, known as the "Northumber-
land Prize Life-boat," being the boat selected from
280 others as deserving of the prize of 100 guineas
presented by his Grace the Duke of Northumberland,
has recently been towed by the Monkey steam-vessel,
from Woolwich into Ramsgate Harbour.
A trial of the Northumberland life-boat's sailing
was made on Tuesday, the 18th inst., from off the
adjoining harbour of Broadatairs, against the Broad-
stairs life. boat, designed, and benevolently presented
by Mr. White, of Cowes ; the Broadstairs boat being
so much the smaller of the two, had not the same
chances, and was dropped i❑ the wake of her more
aristocratic rival.

The next trial of the Northumberland life-boat
was made on the same day in the harbour of Rams-
gate, in the presence of Lieut. Wells, R.N., com-
manding the coast guard at Broadstairs ; Lieut. Sim-
mons, R.N., commanding at Ramsgate ; Captain
Martin, the harbour-master, and a host of scientific
men of all services. The life-boat was brought under
a crane, and, by means of tackle, capsized with one
hand aboard—in 14 seconds she relieved and righted
herself, and there, amidst enthusiastic cheering, and
without more inconvenience than a wet jacket, stood
the inventor's intrepid son, Mr. Samuel Beeching, of
Ram-gate.
On the day following the Northumberland life-
boat was manned by a picked crew of thirteen men
from the adjoining coast guard stations, commanded
by Captain Charlewood, the inspecting commander.
She sailed for the Goodwin Sands, and behaved in
every way most admirably. A revenue cutter, which
accompanied her, could hardly outsail the lifeboat;
and her crew declared their confidence to be so great
in her powers and qualifications, that they would not
hesitate to go out in her during the hardest gale or
through the heaviest sea.

The principal qualifications of this life-boat are the
power of self righting, self-ballasting with water bal-
last in secure compartments, and of self-relieving
when capsized, in from 14 to 20 seconds. In addition
to these recommendations she is also a fast sailer,
very dry, steers well and easily, pulls lightly, and is
most capacious, having a double bank of oars, with
room aboard for 40 or 50 souls; altogether she is
most perfect and effective, and great praise is due to
her inventor, Mr. James Beechinkr, of Yarmouth.

TO -...OTHERS.—Ao.II in quay was yester-
day held by Mr. Wakley, M.P , at the Lord Wellington,
University-street, to inquire relative to the death of Sarah
Somerset, aged three months, who was found dead in her bed
on Monday morning last. It appeared that on Sunday night
last the child slept with her parents, and its head
covered over with the bed clothes. At four
o'clock in the
morning the mother knew it to be alive, an been dat half-past
suffering from a

she discovered it to be dead. It had 22, Francis-street)
cold. The surgeon (Mr. Clapham, of
Mr. Wakley said
proved that the child died of suffocation.
it was perfectly dreadful
to think how many
children were
found dead in their beds through the ignorance of their
covering children's heads with bed-
mothers. The habit of
and dangerous,
clothes was most pernicious and he believed
that in less than two months at least two hundred children
would die of being thus asphyxiated. Human breath was
a most deadly poison, and even a man could as effectually
kill himself by covering his head a ith the bed-clothes, and
breathing over and over again the same air, as he might by
taking prussic acid. In children, death was very easily
caused by these means, especially when there was any bron-
chital affection. lie trusted that mothers take would warn-
ing by the cases that were daily occurring. " Verdlc. t Ac-

Midland shares, as they have been for the last few days,
were in considerable request. The extraordinary favour in
which, upon the sudden, they are held is attributed to a sup-
posed arrangement or amalgamation with the London and
North-Western Company, and the successful stand the lino
has made against the competition of the Great Northern.
They were transacted to-day at 55%, being 21,4. in advance

GERMANY.
The Diet of the principality of Reuss was opened
at Gera a few days ago, by the President of the
Council, in the name of the reigning Sovereign,
Henry LXII.: He announced that the revision of
the Constitution was of urgent importance. A secret
sitting followed, at which the draft of a new Consti-
tution was communicated. The territory of the
principality is about twenty square miles in extent.
