THE WIFE OF KossUrH.-The New
York Express, in an article on the expected
arrival of Kossuth, relates the following in
cident, illustrative of the devotion Of his
wife to her husband after being exiled to
Turkey
With him comes his heroic wife, who,
after his exile commenced in Turkey, with
incredible sacrifices and devoted disregard to
thousand dangers, traversed hostile terri
tories, submitted to deprivations and under
went sufferings Of every kind, joined him a,
his retreat by the foot Of Mount Olympus.
It was under the protection of a pass por,
from the British consul general, al Belgrade.
,ha. as British subjects, under assumed
names, she and her companions were ena-
bled 10 accomplish this great adventure, and
when, on the twenty EIGHT day, courier
was sent in advance of them to apprse
kossuth of their approach TO ShumIs, (he

garisn flag, and was welcomed with the most
| friendly shouts from the whole body of the
refugees. And the account from which we
have quoted goes on to say:
"When Madame Kossulh descended from
her carriage she found herselfin the presence
Of her husband, who had risen from his bed
of illness to receive the poor Maria F--n,
of the plains of Hungary. In place Of re-
ceivlng her in his arms, NJ. Kossu.h, over
come by feelings Of admiration for the suffer-
| ings which his wife had undergone, and by
gratitude for her devotion to the cause OF
her country, threw himself at her fee. and
kissed them. She endeavored TO speak and
offer her husband consolation and tranquil
| ty, while her own poor feeble hear, was
ready TO burs. with emotion. Her voice
failed her, and amid the reiterated shouts of
the Hungarians and Poles, this heroic wo-
man was carried to her husbands apart
ments."
In our rejoicings, therefore, at the liberia
.ion and the coming hi.her of the great pa
trio,, let US not forget the heroic adventures
of his noble wife.
