Arrival of Kossuth in England.
The Madrid steamship, Captain Weeks,
with Kossuth. his wife, family, and suite on
board, made herappearancei in the Southamp-
ton waters about half past one o'clock on
Thursday. Scarcely had the vessel been de-
serted rounding Calsho Castle before theprin-
cipal approaches to the docks were lined BY
large numbers Of people Of nearly every class.
The Mayor proceeded in the customs boatto
the mouth Of the Itchen, where he boarded
the ship, and was introduced by Capt. Weeks
to Kossnth.
Immediately afterwards the Count and
Countess Pulszky followed, and then ensued
a scene that will not be erased from the mem
ory of those who witnessed it. Both the la
dies, Kossuth, and the count, cordially en-
braced each other and shed tears in abund-
ance; indeed, they were all so affected that
scarcely syllable passed between them for
some time. Kossuth children, fourth num-
Der, camein for a full share Of generalization,
as also did the suite who accompanied him.
The steamerentcred the docks about3 o clock,
and was scarcely in the entrance when Kos
suth, his wife, and children, were discovered
standing on the deck, with the Mayor in the
midst of them They were loudly cheered.
Standing on the wall .werea great number of
Hungarians, who had purposcly come down
from London. tits needless to say the mo-
ment Kossuth assembled the gangway ladder,
and put his foot upon English ground, that
they one and all crowded around him and of
fered their congratulations.
The Mayor had provided carriage and
four grays, and band of music. AS soon as
Kossuth and his lady and children, the Count
and Countess Pulszky, aud the Mayor, had
taken their seats, the carriages slowly drove
from the docks, accompanied by the band and
numerous other vehicles, and traversed the
principal streets, and thence proceeded to the
town residence of the Mayor After partak-
ing of some refreshments, his worship, with
Louis kossuth and friends, proceeded to the
Guildhall, where an address from the corpo-
ration of Southampton vas presented, after
an introductory speech from the Mayor 10
Kossuth. This was the signal fer enthu>ias-
tic and vociferous applause, which having
suhsided,
Kossuth stood forward and said-"Ir
Mayor and Gentlemen, beg you will excuse
me, an unpretcnding stranger in the town of
southampton, in your own language, ade-
quatcly to express the warm sentiments OF
respect and gratitude for your generous wei
come To havcthe honor Of being wcleom-
ed by the people Of England in this noble
towns an august qualification to me- II has
always been my study from early youth to
look to England asthe book If life by which
| was to live. Fer three centuries Austria
has exercised open violence and wholesale
threats to destroy the Liberties of ny coun-
trymen, and were itnot for her mUncipal IN
stitutions would have succeeded There was
time when the principles IF liberty were
spreading through Europe, and when I was
myself almost alone, standing against the as
sailments Of Russia. Municipal Institutions
are the best protectors of liberty There is
in.the French nation, which has, after three
revolutions, glory outside, but freedom with
in whitening by the blasting influence Of cen
tralization. lie then proceeded to observe
that he forctold this would be fatal to them.
England would always be great, glorious,
and free, BY the preservation of her mpnici-
pal Institutions; and when he saw their race
IS the only one in both hemispheres enjoying
perfect freedom, whether in kingly formed
government in one, or republican govern
ment in the other, he still saw twas by pre-
serving these institutions intact. Such were
his sentiments-the sentiments Of his heart.
Kossuth then expressed his deep gratitude
for England's reception of his fellow-coun-
trymen, the Hungarian exiles, more particu.
larry at the port Of Southampton. His own
| life was Of 10 use excepting that he might
make it serviceable to his country. He hop
led, by the bIessingof Almighty God and the
Encouragement of their sympathies, YET t.
see the prineiplesof liberty established ii his
native country.
The above, merely nontline, was delivered
with great feryor, and although he spoke the
1 English language but imperfectly, he man.
aged to makehimself understood. After the
presentation Of the address, the national flag
of Hungary, which was worked by somI
Hungarian ladies in England, during the
time of his struggle for bis country rights
was presented; Us also another address from
the inhabitants of Southampton, to which
