The English papers are filled with the move
ments of Kossuth and the enthusiastic receptions
given him in the different towns, with mention of
the numerous addresses presented to him from all
parts of the island.
Kossuth continued his triumphant progress, and
was every where receiving the most unprecedented
demonstrations of enthusiastic esteem, admiration
and affection on the part Of the people, and espe-
cialy of the working classes. The feeling excited
among the people in his favor has evidently been
much strengthened by the attack made on him by
the London Times.
The Polish and Hungarian Refugee Ball at
Gulldhall, on the night Of the 18th, was magn-
fcen affair Kossuth was present. and met the
Lord Mayor and a large number Of the most dis
unguished people, who are now anxious to go with
the masses in doing honor to the patriot chief not
withstandng the denunciation OF the Times and
the frowning OF the Austrian Minister.
The steamer Washington sailed on the 18th for
NewYork, but without Kossuth. He declared his
intention Of sailing in the Hombodt from Havre on
| the 20th for New York, which was to stop at
| Southampton for him on that day.
The steamship Demarara, belonging to theWest
India line, on her way from Bristol to Glasgow, to
receive her engines, stranded in the Bristol river
and was abandoned. She was most magnificent
vessel, and was insured for f4S,000.

rived at London from the same port in one hundred
