LOWELL, Mass, Wednesday, May 5-2P.k.
KOssuth arrived here from Boston, at quarter
past o'clock this afternoon, in an extra train.
which was decorated with flags. His arrival was
announced to tho citizens BY the firing of guns and
the pealng of the church bells Great preparations
were made to receive him, oad large crowd were
waiting at the Northern depot, who greeted him
with loud cheers on his arrival A procession was
then formed according to tho following programme,
which was fully carried out:
The Cayacadc formed tn, Arch BridGc, right
resting on 1horndike street
The Military with the Cornot Band formed oTMld~
dsfex strcet right resting ON Thorndikc and tho Icft
towards C.ntrnf street.
q Koesuth ana suite and Committee Of Arrangement.
a. The fire Department formed Thorndike right
resting on Middcscx street
o. Other Associations and citizens generally formal
on Duton street right resting on Thorndiks street.
The procession moved in the following order,-
ng tn ai the Northern % depot
teImnrched and returned to the point starting thssc
through Ihorndike, Dutton. to the Merimsck Mnis,
thence through Worhen Prince, Tnden, Hnli, Cabot,
Merrimack. SNcsmith, Andovcr Church, Central and
Merrmach streets to che Mcrrimack House.
The factory girls, who, IL was expected, would bo
allowed of work from IL O'Clock, to form part cf
the procession, were greatly disappointed, as the
mill owners would not permit them, and looked tho
gates Of their various establishments to prevent it.
The reason assigned is that having lost much time
by the lnte frcshets they could not afford to have
the mills idle for half day But the real reason u
susfected to be that kossuth could not stand 70
much kissing, as every one Of tho ten thousand
pected to give him buss, "as they kissed Gen.
Jackson, On tho occasion Of his vsitto the Man0hes
ter OF America. Each expected, also, to b0 intro
dvced to him by name. They contended they had a.
coed right to this tho ladies elsewhere and -
the gun factory was in the vicinity of New Haven,
and they insisted, asfree Of Massachusetts, TO
have womon's rights. This phase ofthe affair became
rather alarming and the idea abandoned, which
was somewhat like leaving the part Of the Prince s
Denmark out Of the play Of" Hamlet" More thaa
half the interest destroyed, and several GENTLE
men who came hero from Boston for the very pur-
pose of seeing the girls returned home in disgust.
There were many Of these girls, however, who would
not take any part in the procession, being Irsh
Catholics, and they nearly all opposed to him.
There was considerable number Of Irish mechanics
about the depot and they did not cheer, but rather
jeered. On tho whole, the reception cold and
formal, and was marked by no enthusiasm whatever.
There were various flags displayed from tho hotels.
public buildings, stores and private houses, aloaS
intervals.
The local papers Of to-day have taken the matter
quite cool--somo of them entirely silent-and 0ne
having tho following significant paragraph, which
no doubt will DO very pa'atablc to Captain Long.
who, it is said, has invited kossuth to Exetar:-.

The people seemed to be occupied pretty much
about their ordinary business, and acted as If no
thing remarkable was taking place. AS tho pro-
cession, however, moved on, the crowd increased,
all boing anxious to get peep at kossuth. There
were four military companies in tho prooessiea.
Kossuth occupied carriage drawn by four gray
horses, and was accompanied by the Mayor.
