The Press Banquet to Kossuth.

New YosK, Dec. Is. The Press Banquet
10 Kossuth came off at six o'clock this even
ing, at the Aston House. The grand dining
room was most superbly decorated, and the
accompaniments' were far superior to any
thing before seen in New York. The room
was crowded.
After dinner about 500 ladies were admit
ted, and at the time Kossuth commenced his
speech there were from 1900 10 1000 persons
present in the room.
Letters were read from different members
Of the Cabinet, and one from Mr., VIM Buck.
ingham of Boston.
The first toast was in honor of
Turkey, Great Britain, and The United
States, and the deliverance of Kossuth.
Mr.. Bancroft replied thereto, and closed
with Toast TO n - ~
1hs American Press-Itis responsible for
the liberties of mankind. 20
Inc second toast was to the Mississippi
and officers.
Mr.. Bryant addressed Kossuth at gone
length, sllu,ling to his captivity &C., and con.
cluded by giving
Louis Kossuh." fr Do
Kossuth, in reply, said he was happy to
see that notwithstanding some objection was
made to him yet his cause met with favor by
an immense majority OF the Press. He then
went into some comments on the newspaper
statistics OF this country, as compared with
the whole world. He argued to prove that
there WINS 40 truly free press out of the Unit
ed States.
He resumed his discourse, and said the
stamping of ne Wrappers prevented freedom
of the press in England. He alluded TO the
free schools ofthe land and said TO the intel.
ligent people he addressed his prayer for his
suffering country. He said that his country
in its sorrow was more dear 10 him than the
sunniest CLINE in its brightest hour. He al
luded to the position 6f his own country in
the late struggle with Austria for its own
nationality. He gave an interesting account
of the modus operanG Of the subjugaton of
the Sclavonic race. The policy OF Meter
mich and Schwartzenberg was most ably ex-
posed, and the demands of Hungary for uni
versai suffrage, Republican Institutions, SOW
erelsniy of The majority, were enunciated
amidst the warmest cheering.
For these Hungarians were willing 10 live
and willing to die. His appeal 10 the Press
to sustain him in his objects was eloquent,
forcible and persuasive. The assembly was
invoked to carry out his hopes and wishes
graceful compliment was paid to Bryant,
and most enthusiastically received. He
concluded with the we'll known quotation OF
truth crushed 10 ear,h,' &c.
number of other speakers addressed the
meeting IN answer to the regular toasls, and
the company did not separate until a lute
hour.
