WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS Eds. Tribune !:
Last night, while taking supper at Marshall
(Michigan) from the Western Train, ! handed
the collector at the table five dollar goldpiece,
which, he said, he could not change just then,
but would return with my dimes in little time.
So kept my seat till sat alone at the table,
when called for my change, but found the
collector had lost all recollection of the affair.
Of course the ears were soon off with my lady
companion and baggage, and could do no bet
ter than to go along. wish to know by what
name such performances should be designated.

KossUTH's AvATAR.-We learn that prepara-
tons are actively making TO greet the Hungari-
an hero with proper honor when he debarks from
the Mississippi. So should it be. BY the loud
and oft-repeated expressions of sympathy we
have uttered for the patriot,-by the offers Of
assistance, and comfort, and home, with which
we have visited his hour of exile and sorrow
by our institutions, our professions, our nature,
the American people are bound to make the well
come of Kossuth in their midst hearty and ex-
ulting one In bringing him here in a National
vessel, the Executive has done its part. He
comes as the guest of the people; to their hearts
as well as their homes. His advent should be
hailed as a popular qualification, and celebrated
by spontaneous movement of satisfaction on
the part of the people. In this way, unable to
redress the wrongs Of his country, or remove the
sources of his own unhappiness, we can express
our sympathy and wish TO alleviate both, and ad-
minister a sharp rebuke to the tyranny which
has sent him among us. 1t is little to do, and
as it is all we can do, let it be done earnestly
and cordially. N. Y. Times.

RELIEF FOR FATHER MATTHEW.

A highly respectable committee of our most
eminent citizens has been formed to raise an
American fund for the relief and support ofthis
philanthropist. The suggestion comes from
Hon. Henry Clay, Of Kentucky, who addressed
a feeling letter to Mr.. II. Grnnell, setting forth
the services of Mr.. Matthew to the cause of hu-
manity and especially the good effects of his la
bors in the cause of temperance in the United
States, where half million of persons have ta-
Rem the pledge under his administrations. The
famine in Ireland left him from twenty-five to
thirty thousand dollars in debt; and he is about
10 return home from his labors here to meet
that embarrassment. We should think that in
a community which eagerly conferred bount-
FIJI testimonial on g the Rowland Hill Of Amer
lea" for his eminent success in getting the Post
age Act of 1851 instead of the uniform and
cheap postage which the people had demanded,
would not willingly let Father Matthew 60 home
to poor Ireland to die, without munifcent and
worthy provision for his relief from impending
trouble for debts incurred by his unexamped
career of philanthropy. If the facts are as stat.
ed in this appeal, no doubt the money can and
will be raised. The committee thus close their
appeal
g Fello,o Citizens 1t is our duty to proclaim
to you and to our country, that now, when his
mission has terminated, nothing awaits this good
and pous man on his return TO his home, but In
creased misfortunes and accumulated sufferings
unless an effort be made to relieve him from his
pecuniary responsibilities.
We refer you to the eloquent and feeling let
ter from the Hon. Henry Clay to Henry Grin
nell, ESQ.,, which we are permitted to publish
for the full particulars of the good Fathers pain
full position-a position we have endeavoret
briefly and truthfully to lay before you.
Those who visit our country to minister Il
our amusement, and whose impressions are al
most as transient as their visits, return to thei
homes loaded with the proofs of our muni6
cence and generosity. Shall it be said, Fellow
citizens, that our abundance has been poure
out as water in these instances, and that we ar
insensibe to the services of this public benefac
tor, who unhesitatingly came among us at GU
call, and whose active energies have since bee
lavishly devoted TO our social and moral i'm
provement, and to the permanent benefit of on
country?
We have too much confidence in the homo
and generous impulse of our fellow citizens, t
doubt, for n moment, either their benevoenc
or their Justice. We feel assured that they wi
cheerfully minister to his relief, now that the
understand Father Matthew's position.
Those who are willing to contribute TO tn
Father MaaheU Fund are invited to send the
donations to Henry Grinnell, ESQ, New Yorl
who will act ms Treasurer; and friends in othe
parts of the Union are requested, after havin
read this appeal, to adopt prompt measures
collect funds, which they are also invited to fol
ward to the same address.

revolutionists are commanded by Carabyl, who
has with him tive companies of Texans. At
last accounts they were marching on the Mata-
moras and Reynosa. Gen. Avalos, who is at
Matamoras, has only 800 troops. He had made
a requisition on the city for 1000, but the city
refused to send single man. The plan of the
revolutionists was a pronunciamento, which
was widely circulated. Tampico and vicinity
is in the hands of the insurgents. The people
of Matamoras are quietly waiting the arrival of
