The CHRIsTTANA TREASON CAsEs-The trial
of Hanaway, charged with treason, is progressing
rapidly in Philadelphia. Five witnesses were
examined on Saturd y, among whom were Mr.
Dckerson Gorsuch, the son of the gentleman
who was killed, and who himself was badly
wounded, DR.. Pierce and Mr.. Hutchns, all of
whom accompanied Mr. Gorsuch to Lancaster
county in pursuit Of the fugitives Their testi-
mony established the fact that the prisoner
llanaway was early on the ground, soon after
the sounding Of the horn, and was immediately
followed by band of negroes; that he refused
to assist in the arrest of the slaves and that his
presence gave encouragement to them, as shown
by the fact that the firing commenced from the
honse of Parker, as soon as those within saw
him in the lane. The case still exctes intense

KOssuth'S Residence In London.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
Your special correspondent writes from Lon
don that Kossuth bad taken up his quarters with
Mr.. Massingbard, in Eaton square, an officer in
the guards, and gentleman of large fortune.
Knowing the family and the gentleman in ques-
ton, can inf, run you upon some points you
may deem of interest. Massingberd's father,
seven years ago, was hunting buffalo on the
western prairies. He was a man fond of adven-
lures, full of enterprise, highly educated, and of
cultivated tastes. He penetrated beyond the
Far West, to the confines of the Rocky noun
tains. The hardships to which he was exposed
undermined his health and he died six years
since, leaving the family property, Gumby Hall
near Candlesby, in Lincolnshire TO his only son,
the subject of the present notice. This young
gentleman, at the date of his ia hers death, was
n mldshipmsn on board frigate stationed at
Hong Hong. He returned to England left the
navy, and obtained a commission in the Guards.
He remained quietly in England for two years,
when the hereditary love of adventure inherent
in the Massingberds impelled him TO visit Asia
Minor. He there met Kossuth, and the init
macy ripened into friendship, until he idolized
the Hungarian. He returned TO London, his
leave having expired, where he could only think
and talk of Kossuth and when he avowed his
resolve to throw up his commission and Join the
Hungsrians, should they renew the struggle,
his relations thought him mad You now com
prehend why K0ssuth resides at his house, or
rather at his mothers, Mrs. Massngberd's Eaton
square. B.
