kossITH IN ENGLAND. The assuran-
ces OF Kossuth that there would be r
grea, Europeon uprising abou, tn time
appear TO have vanish, d into thin very
thin air. From a recent statement We
learn that having been invited TO be

letter TO The association, excusing HIM
self from making any more speecheS.-
Commenting briefly upon political aft Mrs
lie expressed the opinion tina: European
Democracy had scarcely anything to
hope from England. The moneyed class
he argues, have in general not much
sympathy with democracy, because they
are v ell as they are, aud therefore wish
everything TO remain as i, is while the
working classes have so much 10 do in
getting their living from day to day, that
they have no time left to exert their en-
ergies practically to forward the tr-
umphs of European Democracy.
Kossu,h ul,ers something very much
ke a snecr against the en,erprising
classes, who are emigraung TO this coun-
try and to A us,ralia at the present time.
lie says:
We see Ireland going over TO Ameri-
ca, and thousands and thousands from
England and Scotland to Australia, for
the sake OF handful Of gold dust. Eng
land has never experienced such death
OF political activity as l see at tie pres
ent.
Put to us in ore scale all the hidden
gold of Australia, and all the comfort and
luxury OF your palaces, and in another
scale most laborious existence in our
free laihcrIand, we will scorn your gold,
your comfort and luxury and take free

Kossuth suggests, that wherever en-
igration is considered ns political wis

pedicncy, there must be something rot
ten in Denmark And yet, ever since
the foundation Of our government, emf
\ grafton from The New England States

and Mr.. J. +. Carlton. This hotel was
boil, by the late Stelh,n Holt who en-
pended large amount Of means in max
ing the house one Of the plcasuniest and
most convenient Eolels in The country.
The house is spacious, well furnished
and in every respect enti led TO a high
rank among the beet in the city. The
arrange mcnts OF ihe house are conduct
ed with regularity aud nearness, and
comfort is combined with luxury. Tie
ait, ,ndance Is large, and the table is al

the season, and the cooking is in q SUI
peror style. From lis central location,
and numerous internal attractions it will
continue TO receive lie patronage Of Il
clafs ofpersons constituting an excel
l,n nj society, which is well calculated to
indue IL hone-like feeling among the
guests.
THIS hotel has been under the charge
Of Mr.. johnson fbr several years past,
whose merits as n landlord need no
praise: BY his respectful courtesy and
attention to the guests AT this establish
ment, and the efforts Of his able assis.
lants, he has accumulated II large for

won host OF friends, and we are sure
he will make speedy fortune in his new

and we say il without any disraIage-
ment of the many other excellent estab

from the most scrupulous investigator.
With the wide reputation and coniman-

we have no hesitation in predicting It's
continued and increasing success.
We direct the attention Of our read

ELECTION FUN.-lt appears that the
Whigs of Gettysburg, Pa, were deter
mined not to lose the opportunity Tor
joll fication on account OF their late de-
feat at the Presidential election. Re-
solved to have procession, they start
cd in a body on Monday nigh, OF las,
week, for Salt River. Before there
final leave, they moved in procession
through the streets and amid the grief,
which was loud and even boisterous on
the part Of some of the emigranls, there
was something rather funny" in the
fixturers" they were taking with them
to render their new abode comfortable.
They had their roosters, jugs, meat,
-four, onions, net, knapsacks, in short
everything in the eating and clothing
line that could be though, oi, and somc
al them had their wives aud little ones.
The whole affair was well go' up, and
produced great deal OF good telling OH
all sides, and was quite a damper upon
the Pierce jollifcation' which came
OF on Tuesday night. So we learn
from the GettysJu,g Seminal.

The Crescent City arrived of Moro

and had 10 remain outside until the next

The Spanish steam frigate Isabel Sc
cundo, which was cruising off the port,
spoke the Crescent City, and after
learning her name and destination,
passed on.
After entering the port, 10 which no
objection was made, the Captain OF the
port came alongside and informed Cap
tain Davenport that all persons Oh
board could land except purser
Smith.
Upon Captain Davenport expressing
himself pleased al the termination OF the

tain of the Port assured him that il was

il might be right to exclude any indi-
vidual from the Island whom the au-
lhori,jes might consider prcjudicial TO
it, authority which was no, desired, he
could rot conccde the same right to the

Of passengers and the mails, simply be-
cause one person on board was obnox-
ious to lis Excrllcncy. To this no re-
ply was made. ....
