IKOSSUTH'S DlSCOURS E
IN THE TABERNACLE.

Never was a more crowded or brilliant
audience assembled in the Tabernacle than that
which gathered last night to listen to the parting
DISCOURSE of the iIlustrious Hungarian. The &C.
ts,on was one Of the deepest interest. The APP
preaching arrival of Kossutl's tagged mother and
homeless sisters" the exiled victims of kindred
with the noble champion of his country's rights,
has called forth profound sympathy even in many
hearts which have taken little interest in the inn
passioned appeals Of the orator for American AID
to Hungary. The stsry of private griefs has
Affected them more powerfully than that OF
natonal wrongs. Not few also who have
before had no opportunity of listening to the
magic eloquence of Kossuth, could not per-
NIT the last occasion to pass without hear
ing the tones of that persuasive voice which
has touched such deep chord Of feeling wherever
Il has been uttered. The audience was not only
immense in numbers, but imposing by the elements
Of which it was composed. 1t represented all
classes Of New-York society. The aged were
there who seldom appear in public places. A
large proportion Oflades showed their devotion to
the cause, by appearing in the Tabernacle, 10
spite Of the crush and the severe heat. The we'll

men of Newly ork we have never witnessed on any
public occasion; while numerous strangers, many
just aniyed in the city, and wearing their travel
stained dress, served to complete the vast assem-
hsge.
Long before eight o'clock, the hour announced for
The meeting, every seat was occupied. The aisles
were lined with extra benches, accommodating a
