At Framing ham, another large congregation was
assembled, and Hon. Mr. Fuller, of the senators
from Middesex, welcomed the Hungarian Chief to
the soil Of Old Middesex, which drank the blood Of
the FIRST of our martyrs to liberty. Kossuth's reply
was spoken in so low tone, that We could catch
ony avfew words. He appeared TO be deeply affect
ed by the "reminiscences which the speech brought
to his mind.
At Natick it appeared if the entire population,
men, women, and children, had come to well

''Welcome Kossulh." Al Brookline, a large crowd
was collected, and when the carriage containing Gov
kossuih arrived, lusy cheers were given, which
were acknowledged by him.
On the whole route TO Roxbury line, the windows
were full of ladies', who waved welcome with their
handkerch,efs and the streets were literally cranmed

and escorted it to the city.
The procession passed through some of the prn-

ceremonies took place.
The streets were lined with dense mass of
people, and every window on the route was filled
with women and chidred, who testified their re-
