New YORK CORRESPONDENTS, Dec, 8, 1851.
The great city is all alive with enthusiasm to-
day, guns booming banners waving, long lines
of military, and the shouts of the excited and
Joyous multitude proclaim the long expected
arrival of the illustrous Kossuth. The upper
part of the city seems almost deserted, the pop
ulation having foated down to the Battery and
the wharves, to witness the pageant, in honor
of the great Hungarian, which is universally adj
mtted to be the most gorgeous ever enacted
in the Empire City.
Of the incidents of the reception, the great
gathering of dignitaries, civil and military, the
address of welcome by the Mayor, and the en-
ergetic and happy reply of Kossuth, together
with the heightened procession, swelling in
numbers, constantly, as it passed along the
streets, are they not all written down by the
"indefatigable and gentemanly reporters for
the public press" and set forth in loaded and
staring columns, in every newspaper in town,
and, therefore, they may not well be repeated
by your correspondent
The personal appearance of the Magyar
Chieftain has agreeaby surprised every one
a thing about which preconceived notions are
very generally and very widely at fault. He is
of commanding stature, and his high pale fore
head, betokens him man of deep thought and
earnest enthusiasm. He wears his hair long,
and luxuriant beard and mustache unshorn.-
An ample velvet wrapper enveloped his manly
form, and in his hand was a beaver bonnet, with
single plume, gracefully dropping over it.
The ladies are unanimous in praise of his CON-
mandiug appearance, and their verdict, will, we
think, be cordially responded to by the lords
Of creation"
Numerous Populations from all parts of the
country are here awaiting the movements Of
the popular idol, and hoping to be honored with
a visit to their particular localities.
But one opinion is expressed relative to the
hating OH the part of the Senate of the United
States, in expressing the warmest and most
cordial sympathy, in the name of our whole
people, for the noble victim of European des-
potism. Your distinguished citizen Lewis Cass,
and his gallant effort in behalf of the resolu-
ton Of welcome, are in every ones mouth and it
would do Wolverines heart good to hear the
"sweet voices" of the multitude in praise Of
the stand taken upon this question by the great
statesman of the North West
1t is feared that the heart of Kossuth has
been deeply wounded by the cold indifference
manifested by several Senators towards him,
and his cause. A stranger in a strange land,
he cannot but feel most keenly, even the least
semblance Of desire to be rid of his presence,
on the part Of so august body as the Senate.
However, the events of day or two will fore
shadow, it is hoped, far different reception
than recent appearances in that body would
seem to warrant
The banquet of the Press" in honor of
this illustrious ex-editor will assuredly come
off as soon as the requisite arrangements are
completed. Such feast Of reason and flow
of SOUP is seldom to be had as will doubtless
be witnessed on the occasion. Your own pres
ence here would be exceedingly gratifying to
the brethren of the quill.
A simultaneous movement for the relief of
sick American seamen in foreign countries is
on foot, and vigorous effort will be made by
the great shipping and commercial interests of
the sea board, to ensure the action of Congress
in their behalf. AS matters are at present, our
consus in foreign ports are often without the
means for the speedy and proper relief Of these
meritorious claimants for aid
That I" Lais" of modern times, Lola Monies,
whose arrival has been duly chronicled, meets
with but fiat reception at the hands Of the
wonder loving public. Her game appears pref
ty nearly played out. Even theatrical caterers
for public amusement, are cautious in their adj
vances. None has yet been found adventurous
enough to close with her terms, and it Is not
impossible that the female influence of the
country will drive this libel on her sex back to
the shores of European profigacy and aban-
donment. 1t were consummation most de-
youtly to be wished" bet. Free Press.
MONTGOMERY DEAD.-James Montgomery,
whose name has been familiar to the lovers of
poetry for half century, is dead He was
born on the 4th Of Nov, It'll, and had thus at
tanned the ripe age of 80.
This annunciation will be of painful interest
to the many admirers of the Sheffield Bard,
whose sweet devotional strains have attuned
the hearts of thousands to feelings of pious
and thankful gratitude, to an overruling and
benefcent Providence. Many of his lesser po-
ems, and particularly the one entitled "Prayer,"
written for the culprit forger, and once eminent
banker, Fauntleroy, when about to expate with
his life, the crime of which he had been guilty,
will ever live in the affections of the christian
community, as beautiful summary of the at.
tributes and efficacy Of prayer.
