Kossuih has been very quiet all day--preparins
bis speech for Faneuil Hall tomorrow evening
The proees SONS and marchings and counter-march-
rgs Of military and civilians yesterday, the APP
Iearance Of Kossuth and the review on the common,
are the topics ofconversaton in every circle. The
Kossuth enthusiasts are down upon the Mayor and
Common Council, because they did not participate in
the reception or procession, and did not display II
flag from any building under the control of tho
city government. But it so happened that the
Mayer and Common Council backed by n very
large crowd-no less a crowd than the majority
Of the working classes and the moneyed classes.
The Commonwealth says, the worshippers CT the
Pope tmcaning the Irish Catholic population,
oi some 100000 kept aloof ny did the moneyed
classes also. And if to this add large
proportion OF the classes between these extremes,
We shall have very large majority of the
whole population who are not prepared to go all
Lengths with kossuth. Many of the military com
plain that they were marched almost to death yes
teYday; and that, to glorify Kossuth, they had to
do lot only their ordinary duty, but the duty OF
the police in preserving order ut the river, which led
them into numerous and serious scrapcs with fellow
citiaens-as the Mayor and Council did not take
any part in the proceedings, neither did Marshal
Tahcy and his police; and they proved by their ab7
low Ssary that force is to preserve order
on the occasion OF any great gathering in Boston.
There was evidently spirit in the mass Of the
people that was not friendly to the pageant, and
that seemed disposed to create confusion; or, in
other words, that on the occasion every man should
10 as he id pleased There has been great
deal Of joking about the "quiet horse" that Kos
suth got one Of the State Committee to telegraph
for from New York The animal was n lady'shorsa,
though see a telegraph message in the New York
papers says it was a splendid charger" The way
in which kossuth rode him, has been q subject Of
comment all day among the military, and you never
saw anything to equal their disappointment. Cor
tainly no person could mistake him for Washington
Napoleon on horseback.
The military display is subject of much con
graduation among tho citizens, and deservedly so
they numbered 800 men, and their marching and
appearance were highly crcditablc to the Bay
State, though, perhaps, in ease and activity they
cannot compare with your New York military,
generally, nor in skill and discipline with the
National Guard. They were fine looking men,
however, and were well dressed, and did honor to
the commonwealth that produced thom. There
was one company that attracted particular atten-
ton" the Tigers" Their marching was very
general bearing Of the military to the multitude
here aud in New York, is very remarkable. Horc,
many of the military in their demeanor arc more
like the British than American soldicry and they
threatened to cut down tho people, and actually
did severely wound some of them. This would not
be attempted in New York, and if attempted, would
not be tolerated without some cause, so that "the

in the practical liberty Of the people | saw one
horseman who singled out boy about fourteen
years Of age from crowd of about five hundred,
because he passed some innocent, mirthful joke
upon his riding or something Of that kind. In the
most excited and violent manner he struck him
repeatedly with the fiat of his sword and drove
him entirely outside the lines and threatened to
cut off his head. This was, no doubt, n very brave
and heroic act worthy of the descendant Of the
men who did not cut of the heads Of deienceless
hoys, but Of full grown armed Britishers, at Bunk
ers Hill. and other well fought fields The state
ment Of correspondent, that the people were
frantic to kOssuth, and therefore broke the
lines, is mistake. 1t was pure mischief, dcviltry,
