last dates: 4a
Philadelphia, Dec, 24ih.--The procession,
after passing over the designated route, halt
ed in front Of the State House, and Ko;suth
was conducted 10 Independence Hall. May
or Gilpin briefly welcomed him, reminding
him that in that very room the Declaration
of independence was made and the first
step taken by the colonies towards achiey-
ing their independence.
Kosssth replied in few words. and said
that the words spoken and the acts declar-
ed in that hall were present to his mind,
when, IN his native land, he sought to do
the same for his people. The history OF
the United States had inspired his people,
and the reason they had not succeeded was
not because they were not less resolved, but
because they were betrayed and overpow-
cred.
He was then introduced to the Corporate
authorities and afterwards conducted to a
covered platform on independence Square
which was tastefully huns with American
and Hungarian flags and decorated with ey-
ergreens.
Kossuth was then welcomed by the en-
thuslastic shouts of thousands who had as
sembled to meet him, when he proceeded to
address them in brief terms, but the con-
fusion was SO great that nothing could be
heard few yards distance from the speak,
err. After he had concluded he was escort
ed to his lodgings.
Later Dec. 24-Midnight.--The Banquet
given by the authorities of the city to Kos
suth this evening, was most brilliant affair
upwards of 200 persons sitting down to the
table prepared in the dining-room OF the U
S. Hotel.
General Riley replied briefly to the asser-
ton that the army was opposed to the views
of Kossuth, and was received with great en-.
thusiasm.
Judge Kane spoke at length in behalf Of
the bench and bar, in all out-and-out speech
in favor of national intervention in Europe.

Morton McMichael, Esq, for the press,
took the opposite ground, in neat and ap.
propriate speech.
Several other speeches were made, amid
much confusion and collision Of feeling
Some of the speakers were greeted with
Kisses. Kossuth remained silent listen

Dec. 26, P. M.-Kossuth received a
delegation from Harrisburg to-day ALSO pre-
scented with an invitation from the authori-
ties to visit that city on his return from
Washington.
Kossuth replied, that he had promised to
be in Baltimore tomorrow, and in Washing
ton on Monday, and that his future move.
ments would depend on occurrences in Eu-
rope.
A deputation from the Clergy of Philadel-
phia was presented 10 him, and in reply tc
their address he spoke for about fifteen min
utes.
AT 8 o'clock he was welcomed by the
youths of the city at the Chinese Museum,
to whom he replied in brief, eloquent and
appropriate discourse.
A grand banquet will take place tonight
at the Musical Fund Hall, where Kossuth
will develope his views at length, having
carefully prepared himself for the occasion

DISCREPANCIES REBUKED IN NEW YORK.

A Telegraphic despatch from the city of New
York informs us that sufficient returns of the
special Senatorial election have been received to
Z show the choice of three Wings certainly"
The special election here referred to, as our
readers will no doubt remember, was rendered ne
cessary by the revolutionary course of twelve
Democratic State Senator'S, who, about six weeks
ago, by resigning their seats, brought the regular
session of the Legislature to an abrupt termination,
leaving its tables filed with unfinished business of
paramount importance to the welfare Of the State,
rather than permit the majority to pass bill which
was then pending for the enlargement of the Erie
canal. The minority having placed their oppose
tion to this measure on constitutional grounds, and
having by their resignation made direct appeal to
their constituents, Governor HUNT forthwith order
ed the special election which took place on Tues
day last, and at which eleven of these gentlemen
presented themselves as candidates for reelection
to the stations they had SO improperly abandoned.
The result SO far tits aboveceported. is not only
condemnation by the People Of their disorgani.
zing conduct but an approval of the Wing policy
Of enlarging thecans, the bill providing for which
can now be passed with the aid of these new
Wing Senators, elected from Democratic districts.
II is not often that the People afforded an OPP
portunity Of so speedily and efecually satisfying
their representatives that they have Inexperienced
their wishes on controverted question.

The special election for Representatives in Con-
gress from the three vacant districts in MAssAcHU-
SETS has resulted in the choice Of two Wings and
one Free-soil Democrat viz: BENJAMIN THoMP-
SON and JOHN z. GOODRICH, Wings, and ROBERT
RANTouL, jr., who, having been for some time the
regular candidate Of the Democrats, was several
weeks ago also formally nominated by the Free
sellers. A few days previous to the election a
"National Democrat" was put in the field against
him, but he received only five six hundred votes.
Mr.. THOMPSON comes from the fourth district for
merly represented by Mr.. PAIFREY, and which
was unrepresented during the whole of the last

A FISH CONTROVERSY.

To relieve the dulness OF the times in New Eng
land, since the cessation of the late excitement
there, our contemporaries and friends, the Editors
Of the Providence Journal and the New London
Chronicle, have revived an old feud arising out Of
the pride which is taken on the one side or the
other in their knowledge Of the FISH which inhabit
the waters of New England. The following, from
the Journal, is sample of the sportive humor with
which they "carry on the war"
"TURBor.-The discovery Of turbo in the Nanagansets

any comments from We arrogste nothing upon that

upon the subject The ignorance in that quarter upon every
thing relating TO fish, shell scale, fresh salt is too
