From The Ne,O York Mirror.

The whole affair, from beginning to end, we
not but regard one of the most ridiculous exhi-
btons of restless vanity and intolerable egotism
Of which the press of this of any other city has
ever been guilty. II was got up by few penny
aliners and hangers-on of the press, who claim to
be ts chief representatives. in order to crafty that
morbid desire for notoriety which seems to be a
sort of mania with the small beer litterateurs of our
city, who occasionally rise, like bubbles. to the
surface of society, from passing agitation Of
the waters, only to burst and disappear with the
gas that floats and expodes them.
The occasion seems to have been seized upon to
bring forward all the leading abolitionists con-
nected with the press, and make them prominent
either as speakers presiding officers, or as both
Bryant and Goodwin of the Post; Greeley and Dana
of the Tribune; Raymond of the Times; Beecher of
the Indepsndeni, &c., &c. The latter gentleman
was full of fight and fury In listening to his bel
ligercnt, melo dramatic remarks, one could hardly
believe that the reverend gentleman had heard
of the Gospel of Love, or the Prince of Peace. OF
the 900 900 600 of souls who inhabt the globe, he
for "rolling all down to -" who are not de-
cidedly in favor of liberty and Hungary. And yet
he appauded to the echo for larding his speech
with the spicy imagery of the Old Testament, and
drawing his illustrations from tho bloody codo of
Moses.
Another error of the management was the letting
in of some thousands of outsiders, pushag persons
who had tickets from their seats, and heating the
room almost to suffocaton. If every one who was
thus admitted paid but single dollar, there must
have been large revenue obtained from this mis-
cellaneous influx for the "Kossuth fund" And we
cannot but think that the $50 to 50 900 expend
cd in getting up the banquet would have dono
more good to the cause had il been presented ia
the shape of cash, rather than swallowed in the
form Of wines and viands. But there is a large
cass Of patriots in this city who TO satisfy
their devotion by qualifying them to excaim-O,

been drunken) in thy name.
A little more Substantial sympathy for Hun
gary" and n little lees laudation Of (boned) TtW-
key, doubt not, would be quite as acceptable TO
the great "Apostle Of Human Liberty" We trust
the friends OF freedom in other cities will feast the
great Kossuth ess, and aid him "matorially"
more.

When Mr.. RHETT announced last session
that the speech he was then making was pro-
badly the last that he should ever make in the
Senate Of the United States, we were prepared
for longer silence than we have experienced.
But Mr.. II HErT does not intend to be seen and
not heard. About the first voice that greeted
our ears in the Senate at the present session
was that of Mr. RHErT. We were relieved.
We felt that there, was still hope for the coun-
try; and though we regretted to hear the Sena-
tor raising his voice to the shrill and sharp
tones of scoding vixen, still it was better
than not to hear it at all.
We must hand him over, however, to the

MIR. Mason, OF Virginia.

The following paragraph from the Washing
ton correspondence of the Baltimore San pays
well-deserved compliment to Senator MASON,
Of Virginia. We listened with great pleasure
to his emphatic declarations of attachment to
the Federal Union, and his well-merited re-
buko to the disunion Senator from South Caro-
lima Hitherto we have been disposed to re-
gard Mr.. Mason SIS gentleman of the same
school with Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS, Mr.. RHETT,
and other disuniOnists; but the sentiments which
he uttered with SO much sincerity and earnest
ness on Wednesday, convince us that we
have done him injustice. If the men who
feel like Mr.. Mason would act together, there
would soon be quietus given to political abo-
lition and secession
F'om The Correspondent Of The Sun.
Mr.. Rhett received some very merited re-
Dukes TO- -day-one from Senator Mason Of Vir-
pinia, the other from Senator Brodhead of
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Mason spoke most credita-
bly,, and though not Compromise man, spoke for
tho Union, and the sacrifices Virginia had already
rendered it, and was stil ready to render. Mr.
Mason's speech made deep impression, and was
particularly dietasteful TO the Freesoilers and Abo
lisionists, who yesterday congratulated Mr.. Rhett
on the success OF Ms ul5unlOn eu0rt. Inc IaCt

European Designs against tho United States.
OF all the plots ever meditated ngainsi the risn n
greatness of this country, none has ever becn.de-
vised more deep and dangerous than that which
proposes to involve her youthful energies in the
complicated web of European politics. We can
imagine the gray old spiders of England, France
and other powers, jealous both Of Russia and the
United States, looking with eager eyes as their un-
suspecting prey approaches the net. Neither Of
them have raised finger to resist the aggressive
power Of Russia, and never will. II they can in
duce Jonathan TO fight their battles for them, and
cripple hs own commerce and resources in the ope-
ration, they will kill two birds with one stone. It
remains to be whether Jonathan is fool enough
in general and traitor enough to his own interests
