The statement made by the Chairman was re-
ceived wish enthusiastic satisfaction by the commit-
tee—an 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, had come to a resolution to weak
wmeet
them at some public place ; but owing to the
state of his voice he would be compelled to give his
principal answer in writing. Kcssuth wished that a
place might be selected for the meeting at some little
distance from the metropolis, Fo that
be made by the bourgeoisie, upon the grounds of any a
stoppage to business arising from the gathering of
vast concourse of people in the public atreets.—(Hear,
hear.) Kossuth recommended the selection of
Wormwoodscrubbs, orEsome place of that sort, as the
site of the meeting.
Mr. InoNCIDE, who had conveyed the request of
the committee to Kossuth, said that he was anxious
to state, owing to some sarcastic observations of
expectation
which he (Mr. Ironside) had formed of him. Ho had
never met a gentleman possessing a snore calmly
placid countenance, nor ono who appeared more
firmly convinced that his cause was: based on justice.
—([sear, hear.) He had assured Kossuth that the
people would give him a hearty reception
an s dwer ; an Kos-
suth had grasped him by both hands in 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 ageeed in the end to be attained, but dif-
fered as to the means. They were now, however,
united in 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 best 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 Totten ham-
court-road, along the Hampstead-road, High-street,
Camden Town, and up Camden-road to Copenlaggen
House.

‘NVITATION OF KOSSUTH TO 11.A.1•1--
CHESTER.
The working classes of Manchester held a public
meeting on Tuesday 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 ineet-
ing assembled take this opportunity of giving ex-
pressions to the deep sympathy they have felt for

feeling a keen and lasting indignation at the to two-
rary triumph of her oppressors, hail with delight and
gratification the appearance on our shores c f the
chief and bravest of her defenders, M. Louis
Kossuth, and resolve to give him a hearty we borne

the
world. That this meeting views with satisfactic the
noble and heroic conduct of the Sultan of Turk ,ty, in
affording hospitality and protection to M. Louis
Kossuth and his co-patriots in exile, notwithsta eding
the threats and intimidation of Austria and H aesia ;
this meeting do, therefore, heartily thank the Sublime
Porte for responding to the call of England, Am teeica,
and other powers, in finally liberating these I a

The meeting was well attended, and the sentime n ts of
the speakers in admiration of Kossuth's exertions
and sufferings for his country were loudly apple,' tded.
A requisition is in preparation, calling upon the town
council also to join in the invitation. An invi'aition
had been already forwarded to M. Kossuth from

Manchester, and they are said to have received -a
fa-
vourable reply from the Mayor of Southampton on
behalf of M. Kossuth.

to KosUth possess just floW an espeCiai interest,
the remembrance of his Prayer and Prouroclamati (Hathu-

herein referred to, cannot fail to enhance
siasrn in his regard.]
Up, Rournan! Up, Selavoniau! Up death-beleagued
Salve!
Rise boatmen of the purple Danube, fishers of the Brave!
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 filming fal-
chion forth.
Onward hunter with thy rifle, onward peasant with thy
scythe,
Till the gory asp of treason 'neath the heel of conquest
writhe.
COME', 0 pauper, from thy hovel—come, 0 noble, from
thy hall,
Change from citizens to heroes at thy country's solemn
cal!.
re autumnal! Leave thy love, 0
Leave thy home, 0 A
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,
And the sullen tread of armies 'wakes the thunder of
the ground.
With the glowing brand of freedom pierce the craven
hearts of guilt,
' avenging patriot's steel be redden'd
Till with blood th
to the hilt;
Spread abroad the sacred banner bless'd by God's
anointed priest
To the golden dawn that blushes thro' the storm-clouds
of the east.
What, with Metternich still living, and with Ferdinand
the Kind,
Does the stripling Prince of Schoenbriinn dream that he
our arms can bind?
Doth he deem lets yuile so potent that to it, forsooth, we
must
his mandate down all humbled tQ the
Bend obedient to
dust?

Are we such a lowly people, we the race of ancient'fame
With proud:annals like our fathers', can our souls b© dead
to shame? dwindled to a haunt for paltry
Is the realm of heroes
fears?
; curs the cause of twice four
Is our cause so vicious,--
hundred years?
Hapsburg are not darker lies
No I the regal oaths of

No ! Kaisar's cup of friendship is not drugg'd with
viler lees.
For historic tales shall tell how, when assail'd by hosts,
at length
We :Imo in all the grandeur of our violated strength.
How in days of royal flight and fear, of panic
foible, and revolt,
how lt,
When the wrathful millions punished every
fault,
When the glare of insurrection show'd the pallid face of
kings,
ShovCd their cowardice and rage, reveard their poison
and their stings,
