MOVEMENTS OF KossUTH.


in New York up TO the date Of the last accounts
All classes seem equally infected ard appear to vi
with each other in their extrayagant laudaiicns q
the exile 1t has even been carried by the clerg
into the pulpit. fran which sentiments alike dis
gushing and impous have proceeded in referenc
TO The idol Of tie day. If this popular fiiror hal
occurred any where else than in New York. W
should feel astonished al the wonderful man VIII
has excited it all. But the people of that city ar
peculiarly impossible, and in estimating The abili
ties of Kossuh, some allowance mnst be made OIL
that score. We remember with what enthusiasm
they received Dickens-and, moreover, how the.
pot paid for it-and they can hardly yet have re
covered from the ph,enzy into which they wer
thrown by the arrival Of Jenaey Lind. The,
seem ever ready to shout hosannas and do homag
to everything foreign without discrimination.
The following account of Kossuth's movement
up TO Friday last, is from the National Iaieligen
Ger Of Wednesday:
Since the New York City Banquet of Thursday
night, Nj. Kossnlh mas been mostly occupied, a
he was before that time, with the reception Of dep
utstons rendering hun the inequalities Of towns o
the sympalhies or organized associations. The frs
depuIaiion received on Friday was composed o
thirteen colored persons, representing that class
the people Of New York, and styling themselves
ga committee appointed 10 secure the legal defenct
of fugitive slaves" by whom he was addressed.
Depnaiuns were then successfully introduced
from the city Of Hartford, Jersey Guy, and the
city of Trenton. Kossuth replied to The delega
lions from the two last named cities in the same
sTeech.
Then followed delegations from the Polish resi-
dents, from the [. nhersn Clergy, and from III,
Presbyiery of Brooklyn. Kossuth's reply 10 tht
latter shows that he is no friend to diplomacy.
Next followed. on Friday, depniaIous from Co
lumbia College; from the Board OF Education
from the Cubans from The Mechanics of The Nov
city Iron Works and, IN Saturday. from The Aus
irian fugiives. from the towns # Newark anc
Williamsburg and from the Ten Governors Of ht
Almsheuse Department
Kossulh's replies TO most Of these depuialiou
were brief, and dirrcied mainly towards Informing
his heaters iha! effective practical aid was what he
most desired
In reply to the address The Newark depulstior
NJ Kossn;h spoke as follows of the resolution Of
the Senate which has since become law. Ii
i shows with what readiness he ronsirues every ac
uf courtesy as favorng the objects he has in view
Il am entirely aware Of The value of-lhs well
cOme-lhe more because an amendment was ap.
pended To that resolution, declaring that this vel
come should ha ve no political meaning but that a
mendment WAS not carried, and therefore consid

resolution has political meaning"
On Sunday, accurding T., the statements " most
of the newspapers Kossulh kept his ropms; but
another account says that he privately eft his quar-
tors and attended church in the mornng,and dined
with The Mayor in the evening. Sermons were
preached by several of The Clergy on topics sug
eested by Kossuih's arrival in this country One
sermun was announced "a a discourse On the theme
"Kussuih, Gods nan for the times" Another
was, The coming OF Kossuh illustrative of the
second cunning Of Christi" The first Of these ser
mona WAS delivered al The Cannon-sreet Baptist
church, by the Rev. II. ]. Eddy, who argued thai

tabishing civil and religious liberty in Europe -
The other discourse above alluded TO was preached
in the Twelflh-street Baptist church, by he Rev.
Sidney A. Corey He alluded TO the revUnona-
nv struggles in Europe in lS4S being greater in
a political point of view than any other similar
movements which had taken place in one year.-
Commencing at Rome they had shaken Europe
from that city to England and caused the Encst So
cure thrones tu toiler and fall. During this period

bis .,ounf,y, but ne was betrayed and thus, while
Cbr;sd had Judas, and Washington an Arnold,
Kossn,h $50 had Gorgey. He spoke Of Cyrus
as beinp mn raised by God 10 perform his de-
sions and free the jews; anil kossuth Was also
raised by God to ight the battles of liberty and

This sermon, it is said, was throughout so i'm
FASHIONED that some Of iis points well nigh eiced
applause, and at times laughter was suppressed
with difficulty. The abuse Of the public Ministry
! of God by such arocious aud almost bIasphemcus
aAsurdites cannot but excite the disgust of all
right minded Ten.
On Monday KSssulh declined seeing any body.
One of the papers announced that he would receive
the addresses OF no depnialion unless il came Ia
hand over material aid in The form Of subscriptions
Only one such depulailon appeared during the day:
that from sumo workmen einplnyed in an iron safe
mandatory, who made their presence acceptable
BY the presentation Of cheek for 5000.
In the evening of Monday the complimentary
dinner Of the Editorial fraternity in honor Of Kos
sulh came off, which is represented 10 have been a
very brilliant and enthusiastic affair. Kossuth ad
dressed the company in a'long speech, which, il is
said. will attract more interest Than any that has
preceded IT,
Yesterday Ci'nesday) afternoon Kossulh was to
meet The volunteer soIGiers OF the city al Castle
| Garden. when another rcund Oi addresses were 10

On Thursday he is 10 60 over to Brooklyn. He

Mayu, and Municipal Councils 10 pauake Of The
Inequalities Of that CITY, informing lis delegation al
the same time that if they had offered him "some.
thing else" he should not have heslaed mo-
nent. Since then it appears That something more
substantial than mere hospitality has been devised
