The sublime and the ridiculous were ludicrous
ly manifest in some of the minor incidents, atten
dant upon ''the great Magyar's" recent visit t
Newark An eye witness graphically describe
some of the scenes as follows:

peau, pants,>-everythingh had an exceeding earthly
appearance.
This did very well for a beginning but the enc
was not yet. The balcony in front of the Hote
was densely crowded with human beings, all anx-
ious to get glimpse of "the lustrious Exile. y
by and by Mayor Quimby came forward and spoke
at kossuth, some ten minutes, after which Ex-
Chancellor Halstead addressed him few words.
Before the ExChancellor had concluded, a
queer looking wagon stalked upon the scene. 1t
was not exactly a wagon either, for it had no
wheels. 1t looked like sleigh, and was steered
with shovel in the hands of pilot at the stern.
Six horses were the propulsory power, which
kept this concern in IA state of progressive ANNA
ton On it came, ploughing up the mud, aud
dashing up the ''waves,' in suffocating sublimty,
against the affrighted multitude. The Ex-
Chancellor stopped talking about 'Russianr Des-
potism to protest against this species of 'inter-
vention.' The crowd hooted and Kissed, and
hurrahad-the mudocrats meanwhile moving off
i'll grim triumph up the avenue.
kossuth himself, at this crisis came upon the
balcony. The only really original part of his ad
dress was that which discoursed of the mud, and
on this subject he particularly pathetic, thus
Gentlemen, | saw before I entered your city Il

down to the streets, (aughter) but that [ should
look up to the people, in the very eyes of whom

happens that, willing to look to your eyes, that
mirror OF your generous sentiments, cannot for

mud.
Now, gentlemen, let ME say that it is the first
time in my life that thank God that there is such
mud in the streets: because if the streets had
been dry and the weather fair-because, @ my
Godi among many good qualities of which the hui
man heart is the repostory-there may be also
very innocent curiosity; and if the weather
was iair and the streets were dry, you might have
been prompted by that very curiosity. But
as the streets are very muddy, am indeed conf
dent that mere curiosity would not have induced
you to come out and bestow that noble and gener-
GUS reception on me, for there must be some no.
Bile sentiments in your heart, sentiments which
are congenial to fieemen. Therefore, you see
that am glad that there is mud in the streets of
Newark.
Somebody here began blowing briskly villain
Gus fisherman's horn-so loud, indeed as to inter-
rupt ''the great Magyar in his speech, and to
wiring from him the ejaculation, 40, that is curl
GUS music y
This provoked burst of laughter from the
crowd, in the midst of which the aforementioned
vehicle was logged on the scene. One of the
Marshals attempted to drive it back, but it was no
use. On it..came, throwing every thing into con-
fusion and -dirt. 1t was long while before
order was restored, mot before the mud machine
had departed. But new misery came in to
take its place.
An indscreet "outsder'' shouted out that the
balcony was giving away. Then rush "a break
ing of necks-a yelling and screaming and cursing,
such as was never heard there before. Kossuth
got hard squeeze in the melee, but after all there
was no good ground for alarm. The balcony was
perfectly safe. The giving way of one of the
outside ratings was the occasion of the unlucky
fright. But after such scene kossuth thought
1t was no use to say anything more. Thanking
his hearers hastily, he returned to his ROOM
Subsequently there was an effort made to get him
to speak at the Broad Street Church, but the crowd
that gathered In front were ungovernahly noisy
that it was judged best to let them take it out in
noise, and nothing else.
The New Y DIRK Heralds report contains a more
particular account of the concluding proceedings
of the day, which we subjoin. The whole pro
ceedings were rich beyond precedent.
1t was announced by the Committee of Ar
engagements, in the local papers and by the placards
that kossuth would address the people at the Gin
ton street church at four o'clock-the price of
admission being one dollar. When Kossuth learn
ed that there was charge of 81 for admission, he
objected to it, and urged change. He also said
that he would not speak at four o'clock, and that
It must be deferred till half past seven o'clock
Accordingly fresh placards were posted up: and al-
SO advertised in the evening papers, that the adj
dress OF Kossuth would be postponed til half past
seven O'Clock, and that no admission fee would be
charged.
The announcement was made at three O'Clock.
and continued uncontradicted all the evening, up
to the time OF the meeting, and after it, But
the trustees, when they found the admission was
to be gratultous, said they would not give the use
OF the church as the rabble would inure it: and
after some discussion between them and the COM
mittee it was arranged that the admission should
DO olll on the presentation to the door
keepers Of Hungarian bond. The people not
knowing anything of this secret arrangement
about Hungarian bonds, thronged in great num-
bers to the church, and neaIs an hour before the
time, the street wa completely blocked
up, and scene of confusionpreva lied, which it
is impossible to describe
The result was that a tumult took place at the |
door, and after about a hundred and 6fty
got in, the police closed the DOORS to prevent
the crowd rushingin The pressure and the crush
ing were trightful-the multitude, swayng to and
fro like the wave of the sea, shouting laughing
jesting and jostling. In the midst of this scene
the Mayor and his lady and daughter came up,
and an athletic young made great efforts to clear
the way, but it was no use, The ladies were
