order of the procession; this occupied until after one
o'clock, and every minute new arrivals thronged up
in such bodies that, notwithstanding the enormous
open space where the people were now assembled,
with open fields on every aide, it became difficult to
march. All the trades were now ranged in order;
indeed, such was the anxiety of the people to preserve
the peace and to assist in affording every possible ac-
commodation, that they fell into line almost without
an effort on the part of those charged with the nr-
rangements. At one o'clock the line of precession was
complete; the seven or eight bands had been placed
in convenient positions, and all the regalia of all the
trades shone in the midday sun.
The following order of procession was observed very
nearly, with the exception that the groups of " fifty
men" noticed in it were swollen to thousands :--
" Six men bearing the banners of England, Hun-
gary, America, Turkey, Italy, and Poland. The old
standard of the Birmingham Political Union. Glass-
blowers and cutters with hand, group of fifty men.
Brassfounders, group of fifty men. Jewellers, group
of fifty men. Saltfey warktnsn and band. Tailors,
group of fifty men. Carriers, group of fifty men.
Saddlers, harness and whip makers' group of fifty
men. Wire-workers' wire- drawere, and pin-makers,
group of fifty men. 'Tin-plate workers, group of
fifty men. Stone-mesons and bricklayers, group of
fifty men. Pearl button-makers end bsnd, tool-
makers, coach-makers, group of fifty men. Coopers
and packing-case-makers, brass cock founders,
moulders, group of fifty men. Japanners. Odd Fel-
lows with regalia. Leicester brass band. Private car-
riages and horsemen. Fire brigades. Deputations
from Midland Towns. Large banner--"Eljen Kos-
suth." Band. Bodyguard on horseback. First car-
riage and four—Kossuth, G. F. Muntz, M.P. W.
SchelefieH, M.P. Charles Geach, M.P. Second car-
riage—M. Pulsky, Mr. U_'oulmin Smith, and M.
Kossuth'; Aid-de-Camp. Carriages with committee.
Body-guard on horseback. Gun-makers. Shoe-
makers. Joiners and carpenters. Band. Carriages,
horsemen, &c.
The neighbouring towns, Coventry, Wolverhamp-
ton, and throughout the district far away into the
Potteries, had all poured forth their thousands, and
these were placed in proper order, most of them dis-
playing handsome banners, especially those from Co-
ventry, which were extremely beautiful in design, with
appropriate mottoes.
At a quarter to two o'clock the carriage and four
containing Kossuth hove in sight. This was the
signal for one burst of cheering. Rising in his car-
riage (in which also Messrs. Muntz, M.P., Schole-
field, M.P., and Geach, M.P., were sitting), he bowed
to the assembled thousands, whose shouts rent the air
for many minutes. The carriage having taken its
place in the line, was immediately surrounded by a
body-guard of one hundred and fifty gentlemen on
horseback, and followed by many carriages and four,
hundreds of other carriages, ;private and public, and
vehicles of every description.
In this state Kossuth entered Birmingham. To
describe his progress would be to describe one con-
tinued ovation ; every housetop and every window
every manufactory and every building where human
beings could place the sole of their foot, their clung
the welcomers to the hero of Hungary. A little before
Kossuth entered the principal part of the town his
carriage was stopped and the entire procession marched
past him, that all might gain a sight of him. All the
exertions of his body guard were necessary to restrain
the enthusiasm of the people. The procession neces-
sarily moved slowly, and was many times stopped in
consequence of the enormous pressure on every side ;
as it approached the Bull-ring the mass of people was
such that it was fearful to look upon ; it was one vast
sea of human heads as far as the eye could reach ;
every nook, every gullet, every alley, and every lane—
every window, and every parapet presented their hun-
dreds of the population. From the corner of the Coven-
try-road to the Bull-ring occupied nearly one hour,
so slow was the progress made. As the cortege
turned out New-street the effect was very fine ; there
were impromptu scaffolding, bearing hundreds of
people; omnibuses at anchor crowded even to the tyre
of the wheels, and from Deritend to the Town-hall
there was scarcely a window without a banner, and
from the hands of thousands of ladies streamed rib-
boas of the Hungarian tricolour. From the windows
of the Journal newspaper a splendid banner fluttered,
and from many houses in the neighbourhood rockets
were cast in abundance.
In the Bull-ring the first copy of the Times was
burnt, and at intervals this ceremony was repeated
until the procession terminated at the Five Ways.
Many copies of the paper, with the words " Lying
Times" in large characters upon them, were elevated
on poles, and swung to and fro over the heads of the
crowd amid vollies of derisive cheers and groaning.
The Town-hall, the theatre, and all the public build-
ings along the line were made use of in some way or
other to serve the purpose of spectators. The bells
of the various churches rung cheerful peals, but these
were almost drowned by the deafening cheers of the
populace.
One hundred Frenchmen who had formed a band
marched near to Kossuth's carriage, which was pre-
ceded by a splendid banner, with the words "Eljcn
Kossuth," emblazoned upon it. There were thou-
sands of other banners with appropriate mottos and
devices upon them, which the limited time at our
disposal does not enable us to do more than thus
briefly refer to. So with the triumphal arches which
Kossuth passed on his route; the enthusiastic dis-
plays at the various manufactories ; the multitudinous
warm greetings he received from the enormous mass
of people who hailed him on every side, we pass them
over—to be imagined they must havebeen seen—no
description would convey any idea of the fact. Kos-
suth himself seemed almost amazed, and Mr. Munts,
used to large meetings in the days of the Political
Union, appeared lost in astonishment at the over-
whelming multitude.
It was computed by persons used to estimate large
masses that there could not have been less than half
a million of persons present. When it is consi-
dered that the population of Birmingham alone is a
quarter of a million, the great majority of whom
poured out on the great occasion, and that the entire
district far and near sent their quotas, it will be at
once seen that this is by no means an exaggerated
estimate. Even places so distant as Sheffield contri-
buted their thousands.
At four o'clock in the afternoon the procession
reached the Five Ways. Perfect orderliness prevailed
without a single policeman or soldier ; without the
presence of any person in authority to preserve order,
this crowd swayed to and fro, bearing every amount
of pressure with patience, and apparently absorbed in
the spirit and determination to do honour to the illus-
trious exile.
Immediately before the signal was given for the
departure to the residence of Mr. Geach, that gen-
tleman briefly addressed the crowd, stating that
Kossuth felt deeply grateful for the reception
he had experienced, so far beyond anything
he could have anticipated, and only regretted that
the state of his chest, and the engagements he was
under to address public meetings to-morrow and the
day following, preventing his thanking them as he
could wish himself. Mr. Geach concluded his ob-
servations by expressing a hope that he might, in the
name of the assembled thousands, give to Kossuth a
true and hearty welcome to Birmingham.
It is needless to add that the welcome was echoed
most vociferously by the crowd, and as the word
passed backwards to the more distant masses of the
people, it was sent back again and again in vollies of
cheering which continued as long as the cavalcade re-
mained in sight, most of the carriages following
Kossuth's carriage up to The Dales, Mr. Geaoh's
residence.
Vast numbers of the people broke up into parties,
and followed the line of carriages to Mr. Geach's
entrance lodge. There, as soon as Kossuth had en-
tered the house, the mounted body-guard formed in
a semi-circle round the entrance-gate. Mr. G. Daw-
son appeared and stated that he was commissioned
by Kossuth to return his most heartfelt thanks to
the people, for the manner in which they had re-
received him.

This evening a select party is invited to meet Kos-
suth at dinner at Mr. Geach's, and to-morrow morn-
ing he proceeds to Manchester.
At the luncheon at the Queen's Hotel, Messrs.
Muntz, M.P., Scholefield, M.P., Toulmin Smith,
Alderman Weston, George Dawson, Blythe, T.
Jaffray, Robert Wright, T. C. Salt, R. K. Dougla3,
and Ryland, were invited. The party assembled on
the invitation of Mr. Geach, M.P.

INVITATION OF KOSSUTH TO MANCHESTER.
The interest in Kossuth'a visit continues unabated,
and it would be vain to attempt to depict the anxiety
prevailing to secure tickets of admission to the Free
Trade Hall. The question of an address to him was
mooted in the quarterly meeting of the Town Council
this day, and the proceedings lasted from half-past ten
A.M. to four P.M. The opposition were strangely ex-
cited, and such a meeting has never been held before.
In th© absence of a good number of supporters of the
motion, who had gone out to dine, however, the
council was counted, and there being only 21 of the
64 members of the body present, it was declared
short of a quorum. Mr. T. L. Williams, a Tory, who
moved that the house be counted, ran out without his
hat, to reduce the numbers sufficiently ; and Mr.
Alderman Bancroft took a similar course.

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—The prepara-
tions for the annual display of prize cattle, roots,
seeds, and
implements, have already commenced at the Bazaar, King-
street, Portman-square, under the able superintendence of
Brandreth Gibbs, Esq. The club intend this year to use
every effort to produce a more than ordinary display of the
capabilities of British stock breeders and agricultural im-
provements ; and will occupy double the space that they have
done on former occasions.

We have received files of Jamaica papers to the
14th of October inclusive.
We extract the following from the Jamaica Des-
patch of that date :
"It is now considerably more than a year since, in
alluding to the contemplated change in the route of the
Royal Mail Steam Company's vessels, wnventured to
predict from it a rapid, and in the end, total diversion of
the foreign trade from this ill-fated island. Those pre-
dictions have, there is every reason to believe, been too
literally verified. The large trade formerly carried on
between this island and the Spanish main is being ra-
pidly transferred to St. Thomas, whilst that heretofore
existing between this island and Cuba has ceased alto-
gether. At this moment there is no mail communica-
tion between Jamaica and those foreign ports which
until lately have been largely and beneficially connected
with our trade, save by the singularly indirect course of
St. Thomas—that is to say, the trader in Carthagena
who desires to order an assortment of British goods
from Kingston is under the necessity of sending his
letter all the way round by St. Thomas, at which island
he can supply himself with all ho requires. The conse-
quences of such a system are obvious. Jamaica has lost
the trade she has hitherto carried on with Cuba, Cartha-
gene, and Santa Martha; and St. Thomas has acquired
it—a British colony and British merchants have been
deprived of the honest gains of a fair and legitimate com-
merce with foreign countries, and those gains have been
transferred to a Danish settlement and a Danish people—
British manufactures, which found an extensive foreign
market through Jamaica, are supplanted by French and
German manufactures through St. Thomas; and the
British shipping that used to be engaged in the carriage
of British goods to Jamaica for the Spanish market, is
replaced by foreign shipping performing a vicarious duty
for the same market, by way of St. Thomas. This, is,
in plain truth, the state of affairs produced by the tho-
roughly selfish system last adopted by the Royal Mail
Steam-packet Company. A more fatal attack on British
commerce could scarcely have been made; but although
warned of the consequences, directors, Government, and
Admiralty have been deaf to all remonstrance. As for
the directors, one scarcely wonders at their obduracy,
since it has been well understood that certain private in-
terests connected with St. Thomas oppose an effective
barrier against the successful advocacy of any mere
national interest. Gain, we are told, has no country ;
and if directors and leading shareholders
,find their ac-
count to lie in concentrating trade at St. Thomas, Ja-
maisa mill plead in vain to their nationality for a resto-
ration of prosperity to her failing commerce. The avowed
excuse for the tin-English features of the new scheme
is founded on an assumed necessity of competing with
the AmeriA steamers at Chagres for passengers and
freights of specie. We have shown a dozen times that
this excuse is purely delusive. Had the scheme we pro-
posed upwards of twelve months ago been carried out,
of making Antigua the first point of contact for the dis-
tribution of the Windward Island mails, and Jamaica
the principal depot on the main line—there would not
have been a loss of six hours, as compared with the
route by way of St. Thomas ' - and that six hours would
have been amply made good by tho gain derivable from
the increased impulse which would have been given to
trade between Jamaica and the Spanish Main, and the
ports on the Pacific. But the truth is, that thorn were
private interests as between the directors and St.Titomas
which overruled any claims that a British route could
advance, and therefore, having hood-winked the Admi-
ralty into compliance with their schemes, the directors
snapped their fingers at Jamaica and her remonstrances;
and we have every reason to believe that, pernicious
and injurious as are the present regulations to the trade
not only of Jamaica, but of Great Britain herself, the
scheme will be determinedly adhered to, and that the
large steamers now under construction, and almost
ready to be placed on the route, will be dispatched by
way of St. Thomas direct to Chagres, increasing still
further the disabilities under which the now system has
placed Jamaica.
" It is not easy to prescribe a course by which the
calamity now in progress may be averted ; but, unsuc-
cessful as have been our efforts hitherto, we think it
ought not to be submitted to, without still further active
remonstrance. There have been unfortunate jealousies
between agricultural and commercial interests that have,
probably, in some respects been injurious to both. The
inhabitants of Jamaica, however, cannot learn too soon
that all interests are not so interwoven that none can
be damaged without sensible injury to the others. It
behoves all, therefore, to take part in a question, no less
important than ono which threatens with immediate ex-
tinction ono of the moat important branches of our
commerce. The Council and the Assembly have already
protested against the alteration contemplated by the
company, but that was in anticipation only of the inju-
ries that have since been realised. Why not again me-
morialise the Government, now that all the damage that
was predicated from the scheme has been made appa-
rent ? There can be no reason why the Council and
Assembly should not now join in a memorial to Govern-
ment on a question so important as this, and we do
hope that some member will be found in the House pre-
pared to propose and support such a proposition at an
early period after the meeting of the session."
(From the Jamaica Despatch of Oct. 9.)
" The carriage of his Excellency the Governor, lately
distrained for the amount of income-tax assessed against
him by the vestry of St. Catherine, has, it seems, been
actually brought to the hammer, and sold by auction
to the highest and best bidder for a paltry sum, falling
short by 151. of the amount of the tax, and, we may
presume, by many times that aura of its actual value.
His Excellency, it would appear, has preferred to allow
the law to take its course, instead of resorting to the
usual course of a replevin, in order to try the legality of
the assessment which he disputes. What step his Ex-
cellency will take, now that matters have proceeded to
this extremity, we aro not aware, but it is probable the
affair will become a subject of representation to the Co-
lonial-office, and it is not unlikely that it may yet be the
subject of reference to the Legislature. It will be time
enough to consider this circumstance when the occasion
arises, meanwhile we have to deal with the matter itself.
" Whilst we deeply regret this occurrence, as one
likely, we fear, to recoil at some future day on the
colony itself, it is impossible not to see in it irrefregablo
evidence of the almost universal unpopularity of the in-
dividual whom not ever) exalted rank and station could
shield from an indignity which would only be resorted
to in the ease of a private person with pain and regret.

ever held the colonial portfolio, cannot ho any longer

Earl MANVERS said ho had, with extreme regret, to
inform the meeting that his son, Lord Newark, who was
to have presided over them that day, was, to his great
grief, prevented by ill health from attending. Such
being the case, he had requested their mutual friend,
Mr. Sherbrooke, to officiate as President in his plebes,.
The company then adjourned to St. Mary's C.burch,
whither they were attended by the town bailiffs, bear-
ing the maces. After matins had been said, an excellent
and appropriate sermon was preached by the Rey. T.
Twells, rector of Gamston, near Retford, from Matthew
vi., 23, 24, 25. At the conclusion of the service :a col-
lection, according to annual custom, was made in aid of
the funds of the society, the amount received ',being
2014 103. The plates were held by the Hon. Mrs.
Howard, wife of the Dean of Lichfield, supported by
his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, and Lady Georgians
Clinton, supported by the deputy-president, Henry P.
Sherbrooke, Esq.
Tito Governors re-assembled in the County Hall

inquiry for cotton wool, and prices are a shade better. Sea
Island is still scarce and dearer. Two days ago a parcel of
East India, amounting to 2,300 bales, was offered for sale by
auction. The sale went on with considerable spirit at a re-
duction of from %d. to V. as compared with terms going a
fortnight previously. Prices ranged between 2V. and 34sd.
