The Times Yesterday Contained Another Le...
The Times yesterday contained another letter " froth a New York corespondent , " respecting Kossuth , of great intrinsic interestj but having for us an additional value , as it furnishes more independent corroboratioii of our own views . The letter is dated January 24 ^ ' -= — " The last steamer informed you of the departure of the Hungarian for Cincinnati , and his reception at Harrisburgh , the capital of tHe great State of Pennsylvania . We now learn of his departure from that city . He has crossed the Alleghany Mountains , reached Pittsburgh , and is on his way to 'the metropolis of the west ' —Cincinnati . His journey resembles more the triumphal progress of an
emperor , flushed with victory , than of a poor exiles-propagator of a new political faith . . ¦ . . . He will make , too , hifl appeal for material aid , and boldly tell western men not only to form associations and clubs everywhere , to give him money for the Hungai'ian cause , but to unfurl for our home politics the banner of American . intervention in the affairs of Europe , electing no man , to any o , ffice , or honour who will not openly pledge himself to this policy . Already a thousand newspapers beyond the Alleghanies hf ^ e declared for him , his cause , and his policy . " \ Vith few exceptions , the western members of both Houses of
Congress have espoused his cause , and even General Cass and Judge Douglass have publicly announced their readinesB to vote for ' intervention to put down intervention . ' This is , doubtless , the prevailing feeling of tho western States ; and , so strong has it become throughout the whole country , that the President goes so far in his official greeting and private courtesy to the Hungarian , that the Austrian Charge d'Affaires forgets the decorum duo to the occasion , and says some things and writes others which he is notified he can withdraw during tho next twentyfour hours ! ..... . ..
" It is quite possible that the boldness pf Mr . "Webster's speech may have disturbed the President , and the reasons for this supposition arc very clear . After receiving the note of the Charge , the President sent for Mr . Webster , who at Once demanded that it should be withdrawn ; arid it toot . Concerning the latter fact there is no doubt . "
The Convocation Summoned To Meet At York...
The Convocation summoned to meet at York found the doors of the Chapter closed ! My lord of York luis not even the courtesy of " We , John Bird . " "Ebor is not so polite as " Ciuitunr ; " he did not send even a Commissioner . The reason of this is said to bo , that of late no man has heeded tho summons to Convocation . But is that any reason why tho Bummoners should not bo in attendance ? ' ' Accounts of the terrible catastrophe at Hblmnrth , received this morning , are still more appalling than those of yesterday . The force of tho torrent was great enough to
wash down whole mills , and sweep awny enormous engines and machinery , like dead leaves . Whole . rows , of cottages and thoir inmates were also destroyed . The loss of life is very great indeed—some flay not less than one hundred persons drowned . The loss of property is also severe , being estimated at 600 , 000 / . The banks of tho reservoir were expected to giyd way . Some of tlio persons living in , mills close adjoining had remdved themselves and their goods ; about fifty persons were watchingon 'the embankment . Tho Commissioners of the Kcaprvoir riro , it is ' thought , very much to blame . ' " - '

Agreeable , exterior ; the tournure of a " mauvais sujet of the Boulevards ; an unscrupulous-looking head , not destitute of btains or will .. , .,. , , Tot-make up for the meagrpness of his pay , he used to dip into the purses of his brother officers , and to draw upon the resources of a few ° H dowagei'S ; a system which he had practised to such . an ' - ' extent , that in 1821 i when ; stationed at Si 51 estat , he was expelled the regiment by a committee of the mess . ; . , ^
