the British consul
Intelligence rceched Southampton on Thurs
day morning, by the Indus, that Kos>uth had
lrll Gibraltar IN the Madrid, and great excite
mcnt prevailed III sequence. Iac Mayor
summoned the members OF In" town council to
meet him in their robes at the Town Halt, to re-
caive their guest. Tn, Madrid was signalied al
9 o clock, p. m. The mayor immediately pro-
ceeded to the steamer, stepped on board, ANA |
was introduced to kossuth by Captain Weeks
II the Matirid-the Hungarian suite standing
around, d cply affected. Nadine koa.uth was
then introduced to the mayor; but she was I'M
able to speak, being SO deeply affected. Kos
suth's children were then presented to the
mayor, three in niinbcr-two boys and Il girl
very interesting children. The mayor kissed
each of them. Kossuth himself was deeply at.
lcctcd during the interview, and could scarcely
ut wo d. The mayor and Kossuth then
into conversation The mayor informed Kos
+ sulh Of the reception he would meet with, ofthe
deep sympathy which thousands Of people III
$ that country felt for him, and the gratitude and
pleasure which all would experience at his safe
f arrival in England.
The correspondent of the Daily News says
y that Kossuh resembles the prints of him ve.y
closely. The correspondent of the Times gives
l a tailed description of his personal appearance
J together with that of his family, as follows:
Word-painting is difficult matter, as each
a man may attach different meaning to ones at
! tempt at description; so am not very sangulne
! that | shall be successful in conveying to your
readers an idea of Nj. Kossuth personal ap-
s pearance He stands about five feet eight inches
h in height, has slight and apparently not strong
t, ly-knit frame, and is little round shouldcred
d Ills fluc is rather OVAL q pair Of blush gray
s eyes, which what reminded me of o Con
IS archcd brow, give all animated and intelligent
look to his coun,enanec. His forehead, high
, and broad is deeply wrinkled, and time has just
~ begun to grizzle head of straight dark hair,
to ana to leave bald spot behind. He has got
re the true Hungarian nose, but it is fair, well
y formed tea ure-such a French passport
OF would describe moycn; thick moustacho
is nearly cove.s his mouth, except wh"n h" speak:
r or smiles, and units with bca. d and whisker il
v a full flock Of dark hair falling down from his
chip. The portraits arc sngularly unlike hll
&c in either person expression. Whether tron
OF his recent captivity or from constitutional ecu
I'd scs, thee is somehow air of lasstudc in h
~ look to which the fatgues of his voyage not i'm
n, probably contributed. Altogethor he gives oii'
X the idea of man of thought rather than MAJ
Of action There is speculative air N his face
he n,ingIed with some degree Of melancholy, which
u would mark him for a visionary or Theoretical
II enthusiast rather than fer great leader sol
er der. He was very plainly atGred in a darl
III green frocl coat, with little silk braid at th
IN back and edges, and wore com non low-crown
v ed square felt hat Madame Kossuth, wh
We seemed in delicate health, stood beside her chill
d. dren, Francis and Louis, boys, and Wilhelmna
OF a girl-the eldest about /, the youngest IAN,
IN was dressed as simply as her husband. Som
nd fine looking fellows, bearded like the pard, il
m braided military frocks ounged about the docks
ny a few of whom, indeed possibly their leade
ca might have done, had suffered no doubt goo'
deal from sea-sickness.
~ AS the vessels entered the dock the crowds a
! the pier-heads chcered loudly, and Nj. koss
nth, with uncovered head, bowed in acknowl
80 edpment There were perhaps 800 or LOO
- persons stationed at these points; but opposite
~ the mooring- ground of the Madrid the whole
- quay wall was thronged and some 1900 o
% 5000 persons were collected there, foremos
", among whom were the refugees. AS thu
~. ~ vessel was proceeding to her mornings, boat
- in which were Mr.. Croskey, the American
al consul, Nj. Pusky, and Madame Pulsky, board
or ed her The meeting between the latter ane
nc tho Kossuth family was very warm and very
~ tender. nj. Kossuth pressed Madame Pusky
/ to his heart, while his eyes filed with tears
~, whic h slowly rolled down his checks Nj
= Pulsky sauted Madame kossuth most warmly
:. and she and Madame Pulsky flew into eacl
=, others arms, kissed each other, and wept il
turn. NJ. Pulslly, too, was deeply Affected
:, The children then embraced, and
=. generally shaking of hands took place. Thi
-. ~ little scene touched all the bysanders; but thu
u" enthusiasm on the shore, the Madrid CANE
ALONGSIDE and the exilcs beheld kossuth, wa
:, tremendous and in their anxiety they nearl,
80 80 pushed each other into the water. Repeated
- rounds of cheering broke from the crowd, min
J, glcd with the Hungarn "hurrahs, and wil
- shouts of "Elien Kossuth ~ Handkerchiefs-
-, white, red, and every color-were waved in
~ perfect cloud, and it seemed if the band o
"a his comnatriots would carry off their che
:" bodily After some delay, the vessel GO
r. alongside M. Kossuh and his family bad
~ adieu to Mr. Weeks, the master, and ascende
~ ~ the ladder 10 the shors, where they were sur
w rounded and greeted in the most energetic ant
excited manner by their friends. They thel
got into the mayors carriage, which was proceed

garian tricolor, and proceeded towards tn
iowa Two or three private carriages ATTENDED
IT the professions and some half dozen of hacknc,
on coaches but a large number of persons follow
ev ed on foot. The procession moved down b,
C. the shore, up the High street, to the mayor
a coach factory. The windows were full o
es people, most of whom cheered or waved hand
lid kerchiefs; the joy-bells rang from all thu
steeples; and as Nj. Kossutl, barehcaded stoo,
,r bowling at the back of the open carriage, hs
oy hands were repeatedly seized and pressed by hi
n counrymon, whose example was at last followed
to by our own. On alighting at the mayer
10 establishment the gate was closed against thu
re crowd, bnt they vera soon gratltied by the
sight of M. Kossuth in the balcony, and re
10 ceived him very warmly. After few word
from the mayor, nj. Kossuth proceeded t.
ID speak His voice is clear and distinct, 5u
to rather deep and monotonous, like that of MAJ
s. who has used it up in public speaking Hi:
- utterance is energetic, his accent wonderfully
good, but he seems sometimes embarrassed
or with too many words-sometmes at a loss TO
lie any suitable to express his precise ideas.
