THE

The statement made by the Chairman was re-
ceived wish enthusiastic satisfaction by the comtnit-
tee—en enthusiasm which was redoubled upon an
announcement by the Chairman immediately after-
wards, that a gentleman had just arrived, and
wished to address the committee on the part of
Kossuth.
The cheers having subsided,
A Hungarian Gentleman, whose name did not
transpire, addressed the committee. He stated that
Kossuth, upon further consideration, having been led
to fear that an impression had gone abroad that he
intended a slight to the working classes by declining
their invitation, bad come to a resolution to meet
them at some public place ; but owing to the weak
state of his voice he would be compelled to give his
principal answer in writing. Kossuth wished that a
place might be selected for the meeting at some little
distance from the metropolis, so that no noise might
be made by the bourgeoisie, upon the grounds of any
stoppage to business arising from the gathering of a
vast concourse of people in the public streets.—(Hear,
hear.) Kossuth recommended the selection of
Wormwood-scrubby, or;isome place of that sort, as the
site of the meeting.
Mr. IRONMDE, who had conveyed the request of
the committee to Kossuth, said that he was anxious
to state, owing to some sarcastic observations of the
Times, that Kossuth answered every expectation
which be (Mr. Ironside) had formed of him. He bad
never met a gentleman possessing a more calmly
placid countenance, nor one who appeared more
firmly convinced that bis cause was' based on justice.
—(Hear, hear.) He had assured 'Kossuth that the
people would give him a hearty reception ; and Kos-
suth had grasped him by both hands in answer to
that assurance.
In a conversation which afterwards took place upon
the wording of the address, and in which a delegate
objected to styling Kossuth " late Governor of Hun-
gary,"
The courier of Kossuth stated that Kossuth was
now more than ever the legitimate governor of Hun-
gary, inasmuch, as two parties which had formerly
existed, were now merged in one. Those parties had
formerly egeeed in the end to be attained, but dif-
fered as to the means. They were now, however,
united is all respects, so that Kossuth, who before
was, perhaps, supported only by ,eight- tenths of the
population of Hungary, now possesses the support of
the population entire.—(Hear.)
A long conversation followed as to the beat place
for holding the meeting, which ended in the selection
of Copenhagen-fields; the procession to form, as ori-
ginally decided, in Russell-square, at eleven o'clock,
and proceed to the place of meeting by Tottenham-
cotrrt-road, along the Hampstead-road, High-street,
Camden Town, and up Camden-road to Copenhagen
House.

INVITATION OF KOSSUTH TO MAN-
CHESTER.
The working classes of Manchester held a public
meeting on Tue!day evening, in the Music Hall, to
consider the propriety of inviting Kossuth to that
town, when the following resolutions were adopted :
—" As the principles of civil and religious liberty
must ever be dear to the humane and enlightened of
all nations, the people of Manchester in public meet-
ing assembled take this opportunity of giving ex-
pressions to the deep sympathy they have felt for
the struggling patriots of Hungary—and whilst
feeling a keen and lasting indignation at the tempo-
rary triumph of her oppressors, hail with delight and
gratification the appearance on our shores of the
chief and bravest of her defenders, M. Louis
Kossuth, and resolve to give him a hearty welcome
to this the manufacturing metropolis of the
world. That this meeting views with satisfaction the
noble and heroic conduct of the Sultan of Turkey, in
affording hospitality and protection to M. Louis
Kossuth and his co-patriots in exile, notwithstanding
the threats and intimidation of Austria and Russia;
this meeting do, therefore, heartily thank the Sublime
Porte for responding to the call of England, America,
and other powers, in finally liberating those heroic
and generous patriots. That this meeting do autho-
rise the delegates of the trades and other bodies now
assembled to draw up an address to be presented to
the hero of Hungary, as the best means of representing
to him the views and opinions of the working classes
of this town. And further, this meeting
calls upon the trades and other public bo-
dies to send delegates to act with the present com-
mittee in arranging the intended demonstration, to a
meeting at the Cotton Tree Inn, Great Ancoats-
street, on Monday evening next, the 3d of No-
vember, at 7 o'clock. That this meeting, believing
that the working people of this town will be anxious
to attend the proposed demonstration on the arrival
of Kossuth, do most urgently and respectfully re-
quest the employers of all branches of trade to afford
to their workpeople the opp irtunity of doing so."
The meeting was well attended, and the sentiments of
the speakers in admiration of Kossuth's exertions
and sufferings for his country were loudly applauded.
A requisition is in preparation, calling upon the town
council also to join in the invitation. An invitation
had been already forwarded to M. Kossuth from a
meeting of gentlemen, held some few days ago in
Manchester, and they are slid to have received a fa-
vourable reply_from the Mayor of Southampton on
behalf of M. Kossuth.

THE HUNGARIAN PATRIOT.
BY WILLIAM CUARLES SENT.
[The following lines appeared some time back in a
volume entitled " Aletheia and other Poems," pub-
lished by Messrs. Longman& We are induced to
quote them at the present moment because theta of
ey so
very vividly recall to mind he principal incide
t
the great Hungarian struggle. The verses relating
to Kossuth possess just now an especial interest, and
the remembrance of his Prayer and Proclamation
herein referred to, cannot fail to enhance our enthu-
siasm in his regard.]
Up, Rouwan! Up, Selavonian! Up death-beleagur'd
Selave!
Rise boatmen of the purple Danube, fishers of the Drave!
From the fastness of the mountain, from the quagmire of
the plain,
Rear the glory of thy valour, and the might of thy

disdain.
Down from steeps of Transylvania, up from salt mines in
the north,
Let each Magyar fast emerging draw his flaming fal-
chion forth.
Onward hunter with thy rifle, onward peasant with thy
scythe,
Till the gory asp of treason 'ficath the heel of conquest

writhe.
Come, 0 pauper, from thy hovel—come, 0 noble, from
thy ball,
Charge from citizens to heroes at thy country's solemn
call.
Leave thy home, 0 Age autumnal! Leave thy love, 0
vernal Youth,
Brave the gliding guile of Falsehood with the stalwart
front of Truth.
For the German hordes are rolling down the gorges of
the Alps
Where the giant crags discover to the moon their frozen
scalps;
Where the ghastly beacons glimmer, and the horns of
war resound,
Aud the sullen tread of armies 'wakes the thunder of
the ground.
With the glowing brand of freedom pierce the craven
hearts of guilt,

Spread abroad the sacred banner bless

To the golden dawn that blushes thro' the storm-clouds
of the east.
