Kossrru AND THE LONDON TINES.

The London Times which, during the Hungarian con-
test was distinguished for its AUstroRnssan ariices
has not ntermtted it, malgnity toward Kossuth as ap
pears from the following incident noticed in our columns
on Friday:
In its number of the 18th April The Times stated that
"the house in the occupation Of VI KOssuth had been
searched by the authorities in virtue of order from
the Home Secretary and that great quantity of arms
munitions and other Warlike materials had been found
And thereupon The Times proceeded 70 read a long
homy to K0ssuh, including such sentences as this All
that we have learned hitherto Of the character of
Kossuth of his cOnspracies and ridiculous juggleres
and so forth in an equivalent strain of rdicule and OBJ
Oquy.
Now It appears that such house in the occupation
of NJ Kossuth has any existence but the following are
the facts: Mr. Hale. the inventor Of certain rocket,
FUSED in Mexican war, by the way) at Roherhthe,
had been visited by Kossuth before and after he
TO America On his first visit he had suggested certain
improvements to Mr. Hale and after his return Eng
lard Mr Hale called him and stated that his sugges
ton had been applied with success Subsequently &C
cordnc TO Tie Daily NerS,
"a Hungarian soldier, a deserter from the Austrian
army colied on him seeking charity NJ kOssuh having
ascerianed flat the had had experience the
Ausa artillery and subsequently in the chemical depart
ment of the sanitary establishment thought that he might
be suited 70 the work ~ Mr. Hale factory, ana according
" reCOmm nded him TO that gentleman for employment.
The taken on, but in consequence either OF his
naenon misconduct, was shortly aterward dismissed;
and Just possible that of revenge he rushed 20 the
Home Oce and hOaXcd H. chei with the and.
bull story Of the old House At Rotherhithe, and VI
Kossuths mysterious manufacture and accumulation Of
proectes 1t must be repeated that this only couec
lure and may possibly involve an unjust against
a true hearted Hungarian
Mi Hale has written letter protesting against the
police entry Of his premises, stating that no gun
powder and not an arm of any kind was found except
the rockets Lord Palmerston boldly asserting that
arms were found, and 500 lbs. of powder which is
gross fabrication
Notwithstanding these facts The Times has second
article in the accusstory spirit the first, COM
meucng as follows
In spite Of the strenuous and repeated efforts Of Sir
Joshua Nalmsey Mr. Thomas Duncombe. Ar Bright
Lord Dudley Stuart, and the friends and patrons OF M
kOssuh, 10 elicit from Lord PalmcrstOu dslyowal
contradiction Of the statement published by this Journal
Friday last, the Secretary for the Home Department said
nothing to shake any important particular the accuracy
Of our information IL Using the expression, house n
the occupation If kossuh We never intended T. de
scribe bis ceiling house because that th.s
haG been made uanufac ~ lsotle-
h.the, while VI. kossuth lives az Bayswatrr
Whatever may hereafter be proved behalf Of NJ Kos
suih the essential facts Of this remain unexplained
and very much in need OF explanation II is undoubtedly
true that upon the entry of the police these premises
Roihcrlthe they found upwards OF 20 Asses closely
packed ana coli NLng apparently for transmission %
distance sertt0 HW0d rar rockets, besides consderl
bic number Of rockets m state Of preparation 900 shells
not YET loaded and 500 los Of yunpowder These are
Lord dimensions words in describing the seizure c
ccied by The police; and viii not be- denied that these
particulars establish the existence of an extraordinary case
which fully usf" tie curiosity OF the public and the inter-
ference % tie Government
When The Times was about TO turn its memorable
ardhstOrical somerset the free trade question there
was meeting Of the propretOrs and the question
discussed as TO the reason or apology which il should
give therefor. After a flood Of DISCUSSION the chief
proprietor and said Tie Times never retracts or
explains and accordingly, the next day appeared on
the other side in politics, without word OF e1plana-
tOD So goes the story. The persistence in its Orgi
gnal view of the rockets is in keeping with the above
