Hungary with the freedom, the peace, and the
independence of Europe and of these glorious isles—that
they will take arms and give a practical direction to the
generous sympathy of the people of England for my
poor down-trodden and unhappy land, and reduce under
a ruling principle the sentiments of public spirit in the
people, which shows that they are ready to accept the
solidarity of their own freedom with the destinies of
man, and especially with the destinies of Europe."
"Let me end," he said in conclusion, "by pronouncing
my most sincere wishes for the happiness of these great,
free, and glorious isles. Let me repeat, that I take it
to be a most glorious sight to see your gracious Queen
representing upon the throne the principles of liberty;
and let me hope that the acknowledgment will not only
have a future in Europe, but that the time draws near
when you will have to applaud the success of those
endeavours for which you now manifest such generous
sympathy, even in their adversity and misfortune. It
is a much greater right to acknowledge a principle in
adversity than to hail it in success. I hope, gentleman,
you will excuse me. My life has been spent in hard
work for my country. I have not had time to cultivate
the civilisation of western Europe, but my heart is
devoted to England; and you will meet never a man
who has a greater sympathy for you and for your
glorious country." When he finished he was strenuously
cheered, and a cry for "Three groans for Austria!"
was heartily responded to.

An address from the working men of Southampton
was then presented. It was acknowledged by M.
Kossuth with a tribute of admiration to our working
men—"those men who by that great gift of God,
industry, have raised their country to be the living
wonder of the world."

On the following day M. Kossuth visited Winchester.
The citizens went out in procession to meet him at
St. Cross, and took him with music and banners to the
residence of the Mayor of Southampton, near the town.
Lord Dudley Stuart was of the party; and in the
evening Mr. Cobden arrived from Southampton, whither
he had gone in the morning from Sussex, and whence
he had pursued the party he was there too late to join.

On the 25th, the Mayor of Southampton entertained
M. Kossuth at a déjeûner at his residence near
Winchester. The principal members of the corporation
were present; and Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Cobden,
Mr. Croskey, the American consul, M. Pulzsky, and
several Hungarian officers, were among the company.
On M. Kossuth's health being given by the mayor, he
addressed the company at great length, entering very
fully into the history of his country, describing the
free constitution of Hungary, the nature of her
connexion with Austria, and the series of arbitary and
oppressive proceedings on the part of that power, which
led to the struggle in which he bore so large a part.
The company were afterwards addressed by Lord
Dudley Stuart, Mr. Cobden, and the American consul,
who assured M. Kossuth of the sympathy of his
countrymen—"He felt sure that when their illustrious
guest reached the shores of America, he would be
received by all parties, whether Whig or Democrat,
as Lafayette was received in 1825—as the nation's
guest."

Many meetings have been held in London and the
provinces, for the purpose of presenting addresses to
Kossuth, congratulating him on his liberation from
captivity, and his arrival in this country. The Common
Council of the City of London met for this purpose
on the 2nd inst. A great meeting of the inhabitants of
Westminster was held at the Hanover Square Rooms
on the 20th, when a similar address was adopted.
Meetings of the same kind have taken place at Leeds,
Glasgow, Bath, Bradford, Newcastle, Derby, Exeter,
and other towns; and an address of thanks to Lord
Palmerston for his interference with the Turkish
government, in favour of Kossuth, has been voted by
the corporation of Southampton.

COLONIES AND DEPENDENCIES.

THE war with the Kaffirs rages unchecked, and the call for "more men from England" continues, while the
colonists look on with folded arms and refuse to take personal part in protection of the colony till their
own terms are entirely and without abatement granted to them. One might have supposed that to save a
colony might fairly have preceded and justified the demand completely to govern it; but there has
not been more magnanimity shown at Cape Town than in Downing Street through the whole of this
