KossuTn ORAToR. London Correspon-
dent of THE LiuapoO! Times gives the following in
teresting sketch of Kossuth's personal appearance
and style of speaking:
81 found Guldhall crammed to suffocation Mad
anne Kossuth, accompanied by Madame Pulski, was
seated on the left of the Lord Mayor, on the das.
Madame Kossuth was very simply dressed, not over
pretty, but very ladylike. Madame Pulski is little
woman, but the two ladies Seemed very friendly.
About noon, the shouts of the populace announced
Kossuth's arrival, and preceded by Alderman Wire
and Mr. Gilpin, the hero ofthe day made his way up
the Council Chamber. l was seated within three or
four yards of him, and him advance and heard
nv word he said. Imagine about five feet seven
or eight inches high, with good forehead, scanty
black hair, sailow complexion, and with face worn
with care or study, or both; long flowing beard and
moustachios, and dressed exactly like Shyock or
Tubal in the play of the Merchant of Venice >
that is, with black surout close to the neck, and
open hanging sleeves. When this dress thrown
open, in speaking, handsome black velvet vest was
visible. tight up to the throat. He wore white kid
gloves, which he took off when he began 70 speak.
prepared to hear frsrate orator. after reading
his reported speeches at Southampton. was disap-
pointed His voice is Indifferent; he sinks i. the
conclusion OF a sentence, and the reporters had
the greatest difficulty to catch the closing perl
DDS of his sentences. He speaks slowly, in very
good, grammatical English. He is a good actor.
Sometimes his gestures were very GRACEFUL especial
ly when he bowed his thanks to the Lord Mayor,
and crossed his hands his Breast martyr fashion,
Kossuth's imperfect English lent a charm to his
speaking, which, however, was not. of course, SO
effective that Of many of our own orators, mas
much as he held slips of notes in his hand from
which he read continually. Some passages were,
however, highly effective, especially his appeal to
England and the United States, that they would not
forget Hungary in their proud security His con-
tinued refrain, you have the power to help help!
which he repeated six or seven times at intervals,
would have been effective, but from the sinking of his
voice. which rendered it impossible for the auditors
to hear the last word. So the effect was lost How
ever, as speaker, he is unquestionably frst-rate
man. Considering it was delivered in foreign
idiom, his speech Kinded great enthusiast, and
the applause was loud and long continued. His Pc
roraton will, anticipate, produce better effect in
print than it did in delivery. When he sat down the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed. When left the hall
the Popuace followed the carriage shouting and l
saw him in his plain black Hungarian hat with a
single black feather, to distinguish him from Alder
man Wire, who sat opposite. He drove rapidly
westward, followed by several carriages filled with
his friends, of whom sported the Hungarian
tri-colored hag.''

Telegraph of the 9Th instant the following statement
to the incarceration of nine of citizens in Next

by the drought.) they could not procure food, and
were compelled take few articles of food to pre-

FRANCE. The Assembly met on ths 4th, and re-

treated with incredibly and irony. The majority of
the Assembly could not believe the President had
any intention of cooperating with them at the very
moment he asked them to disavow the most imPor-
ant act of their parliamentary lives. The President
was also accused of personal ambition and clums =
calculations.
The electoral law proposed by the President is at
most complete return to the old law as drawn up
by the Constituent Assembly. The Journal des De-
bats, and the organs of the egitmates and Oreansts

sent the effect of his message on the Assembly as
most deplorable.
