As this individual is occupying the
attention OF the public Just now, we
give up considerable space to the
same subject. II will be seen that
the Senate have passed a resolution
extending to him a public reception;
we presume the resolution will pass
the House. Among the cities and
corporations which have extended TO
this individual an invitation 10 give
them a call. are Cincinnati and Co.
lumbus. HIS stay in this country
will be short, and the objects Of the
visit are explained bv himself.
At the Banquet given him at the
Irving House, New York, last Thurs
day night, Kossuth made a speech
which lasted three hours, which the
telegraph speaks Of thus:
1t was a splendid specimen Of his
eloquence. He gave a full detail Of
the claims Of Hungary upon all the
lovers and advocates of civil and re-
Iigious liberty, and appealed to The
American peorle, not only for their
sympathy in behalf OF his country,
but for aid in the shape OF donations
and loans.
In the course Of his remarks, he
referred to a generous contribution
made TO the cause of Hungary, by
w. Smead. Of Cincinnati, who he
stated, had given $1,000.
The speech is published this morn
ing, and makes eight columns in the
Times.
a proposition has been made by
the friends OF Hungary, 10 organize
a Committee, under the direction of
Kossuth, TO receive subscriptions 10
Hungarian National Loan OF one
hundred dollars or upwards, and con
tributions OF any amount from one
dollar up. Some definite arrange
ment is to he made in a lew days,
and the work is TO be commenced at
once, and with vigor.
Ii is stated that Horace Greelv has
contributed 81 900. which will put
him and Mr.. Smead the two first on
The list.
The public opinion is divided IN re
gard TO the proprietv Of the policy
Kossuth wishes The United States To
adopt. The National htelligencer
cautions the people against his views.
The matter has incidentally been dis
cussed in the Senate while the recep-
ton resolutions were before that
body. We have confidence the
government will act cautiously and
wisely in the matter Of interference
in the affairs Of foreign nations, what
ever may be the action Of a class Of
our citizens who would gladly seize
upon the occasion to involve The ma
ton in difficulty. and induce it to de.
part from its uniform practice in re-
ation to foreign affairs.

The Patriot correspondence speaks
thus Of the late Congressional organi,
cation:
"Linn Boyd, whom this so-called
Democratic caucus. this combination
of AboLtionism and Secessionism,
have nominated for Speaker, is very
respectable gentleman from Ken
tuckv, who has been in Congress
about a quarter OF century, without
making much Of figure there. He
has scarcely one qualification for the
Office, save good feelings. general
fairness, and wish TO do right. His
long Congressional education' might
by this time have admirably fitted
him for the pIace.-and that he has
not been fitted for il, is the best proof
that he ought not TO have been selec-
ted. The nomination is a c"mpli-
ment 20. the oldest member rather
than 10 the best capacity. Mr.. Burt,
Of South Carolina is the best quail
fed man OF the Opposision. Mr..

ANOTHER Coal Boar LosT.-Tbe extreme
high wind of Sunday night, swamped a coal
boat, in the Ohio river. opposite the farm oi
E. S. Menager. sr., about sixteen miles below
this place, by which three men were drowned
The crew consisted of six persons. Who at the
time Of the waves dashiEg over the boat, were
pulling at the sweaps. and as she went down
three of them clung TO the oar, by which they
were enabled to reach tbe bank-fhe other
three persisted. The boat was from Pittsburgh.
We could not learn the names of the unfortu-
nate men who thus lost their lives
Too much praise cannot be awarded to the
persons residing in the neigbborhoad of the
disaster. for the timely aid rendered those who
succeeded in reaching shore, by which their
lives we're spared.
