1 beg, Sir, to hand you thr. sum of 1390 75 and a
copy of these resolution* on bch df of the workmen
r?f the Allaire Works.
hf. Peuaar replied Geatleaasn, I aui much in?
debted to you for your sympathy in the causa of
Hungary, mv country and I think you in the name
td my illustrious chief, si.u. not hero at proaent
1 know how w arm lus feelings would be on this oc?
casion, not heeanii of the amount of your off
to the cause of his country?he docs not look to that
?but because of It being a token of the symptthy of
the working classes. It has been the smite every?
where as well as here, and in England the working
c lasses ahoweil their sympathy for hi* cause, us welt
asyouard the working classes of this country have
done. And why is it Hint this sympathy has so gent
rally bet a shown' lb is not the first exile whoever
cainetoyourshores.th.it was driven out of his own
vountry by the earn ol dejsnotiem. These have been
other exiles here, but Uli y nave p isoed bj almoai an
notieed. although you ecu' rousts gavt to allof tbtuu
a brother's hand and welcomed them toy. u shores.
But in no csisc w as the s une bj mpaihv and honor be
stowed on them, as thai which has been bestowed,
both here and bj Europt oi Ki uih Bad the cause
of Hungary There la a reason for this, and ,t ii be
eause the workmgmcn know that are Struggled not
for liberty and independence against Austria only.
Badbnannao ws gave to tboee of our peoph ?
who were not free before. Men have con e hen and
propagated the Idea that the Hung an in nobles
wanted to burden the pool people, and to keep them
from enjoy tag liberty Uov, Kossuth, when ns was
here, did not apeak of tht* subject; It was beneath
hisdignityto notice that which Wae pet togatedby
euch means. 1 speak of it to shovt that it is not true.
In other times the ari-tooraci had cenajui political
rights Which were n< t en'oyrt! DA the cttien f i?fsof
the people, and they supported them as long as they
thought the pnncipli s on which they were founded
were just. B> these pririlegi they were exempt
nrom taxation, and yet they partook of all the hem tits
arlshig from the taxes licit were paid,and they also
had ret tain political pi.suices which were not
enjoyed by the common people , but in the year 1818
they gave up their i tu Ui gestx 'ore tin >-. h iH people,
and extended liberty n-r the ootnmon benefit ol all

a member of that aristocracy, which was a proud
oae, and we gave up our priviliges, and gave liberty
to the pi i.pie, evenbefori there wai an] nreaauri
from without. We knew that to do nstics was
more agret ibie to God than a fervent prayer, and
that we were diocc f oe t t w a- happy at thai tune
to give op i ait of nay property foi I I ol my
fat he: la mi, and we sii i rosq ?tri of our property
when we gave up those privileges. But 1 did no
more for my country than the poorest of the people
did, for they all staked their lives and fortunes to
defend its iibertu?, to ntle nen rhis cm Iribnttou,
coming front workingmen, is very valuable, and it
will be considered so b) Kossuth, for he knows
what u Is to work, and he has worked verj hire

The Matamoros Handera Mtxicana contains an

contest.
The hurricane at Mazatlan on the STth and 2*ti. of
October was very devastating in it* effects The
rain fell in torrents, the sea rose, and the streets
were f ooded so that the water penetrated into the
houses. The vessels in port were driven from their
anchorage, and dash'-d against each other with vio
leice If the tempest had continued two hours
longer, the whole town would have been reduced
to a heap of rums. A* it was. all the frame houses,
and those which were badly . onstruoted, were pros?
trated. Of the eight small vessels in port, four were
destroyed and two stranded. The English eorvette
of-war Daphne lost her masts. In the city, 22 per
i sons were killed, and a large number wounded.
I Three sailors vttre drowned. The ofbre of the ?*?
trtllu dtlVaci?co was so rauch injured that it had to

An American writes to the Trait tfl'men, stating
that some time ago nine Americans arrived at Ma?
zatlan, from California, determined to pass through
Mexico, in order to see the country. While travel?
ing through Durango they were attacked by a large
cumber of Indians, who wounded one of the num?
ber and took his horse, his baggaxre, and |300. Two
daysaAerward a party of twenty-two Americans
ence^intr red the same Indians, gave them battle,
dispersed thtrn in a few moments and retook the
horse and $300 Molen from the wounded American.
Great complaints are n,ade against tne municipal
President of Mazatlan, far his conduct toward trav
elers con ing from < nlifotnia. It is said that he de?
mands of them letters of security before he will give
thuri their passports. As they do not intend to re?
main in the country they cannot comply with this
demand, mid he then charges thern a doubloon or
refu- rs to give them p is-sports.

Destructive Fire In Philadelphia.
Piiiladblphia, Uaturdav, Der. 27, IBM,
A dt tractive fire broke ont al 1 o'clock this morn?
ing, in Hart's Building, corner of Gth and o'heatmit
tts. The flames spread with great rapidity, destroy?
ing the entire building, together with several book
and music stores, and Parker's restaurant, in the
basement.
The flames spread to tha S.iakspere Building, on
the opposite side of 6th-st , and adjoining < hetnut
st. Theater, which was also entirely destroyed, as
was alto Brown's Hotel and Hart's buildnng adjoining
on Chesnut-st.
About 3 o'clock, the walls of Hart's Building fsl
into the street, instantly killing two colored men
and severely injuring several firemen and police
There if- alto reason to fear that several other per?
sons were killed, a* the streets were crowded at
the time ihe walls fell.
The entire block on the west side of 6:h-st. from
Chestnut to Carpenter-st.. is a heap of rum":
Beside the buildings above-named, Johnson's law
bcok-ttore, and several other valuable stores on each
side of eth-tt. and the north side of I hestnut-st., are
entirely burned out.
Several other buildings on both sides of Fth-st,
are much damaged.
1 he fire was got under at about nine o'clock, this
forenoon.
It is reported that police officer Johnson was killed
W. W. Haley, Esq., is missing, and. It fa feared, was
killed by the falling wall.
The loss is roughly estimated at $20d,000.
The heaviest losses fall upon Dr. Schen< k, whose
establishment w as entirely destroyed T. A T. W.
Johnson, law booksellers . II. Blakeston. Getz St
Buck, booksellers . J. W. Moors, bookseller, and the
owners of several music, periodical and other stores
on Oth st., all of which were entirely destroyed,
with their contents.
Workmen are engaged in removing the rubbish
from the streets, and in searching for the bodies of
those who may have been buried under the fallen
walls. ^
Great Fire at Buffalo
Bi Tr Ai.o, Saturday, Dec. 27. |8M.
About 1 o'clock this morning, one of the most de
Mrm m e fires that has visited us for many years,
broke out in the magnificent ibuildings on
Main-si - opposite the Mansion House, known as
Spah'it. ['a Exchange Block, and Erie Hall Block,
ffpaldiagch Exchange, Erie Hall, the Bank of Ctica,
and several spacious stores nid the Bank of Lake
Erie, are entirely consumed.
The hre extended down Commercial and Lloyd
rts, burning down several valuable buildings on
each street. The coldness of the night and the
i ir.r.' of watet rendered it impossible to subdue
the fearful progress of the tlaniej. During the time
this hre was raging, another alarm up town was
given. It proceeded from I wan-st. where a private
dwelling was discovered on fire. The firemen
: at divide thOhT force, and consequently three
handsome dwellings were consumed.
It is impossible at present to estimate anything
like the immense loss. The offices of most of our
le.uluif lawyer^ were In IpaMhBg'S Exchange. The
extensive shoe establishments of Williams A Co.
and 0. H. P. Williams, the large tailor shop of L. D.
llibbaid, the confectionary establishment of E. Heth
A Co., and about twenty other large stores, were en?
tire ly i onsumed. The flames are now got unders>
far as to prevent any further spread of the lire.
So ad Itispatih.
The following insurances have been ascertained:
Sp.dding's building's $15,000, as follows. Buffalo

Gri'MBLIks for the Poor.?It need not
be told that there are mall place? certain persons
whoie < CEstit :?iha1 it it 1? to grumble, the
1 fact is painfully evident, hourly enforced upon pui>
j lie attention by the Uro wlers themselves, and rune
in our ears until patience and toleration are ex?
hausted. a Bore is a creature to be dreaded, snun
I ned, left to himself and sobtf i Je, where hi? annoy?
ing presence "ill harm no one, unless, like the
scorpion surrounded by fire, he kills him?elf with his
own venom. But the Grumbler forces hirn'elf upon
you in print, and always in connection with some
sacred cause, over which he crawls and glides and
wriggles and gloats and every w here trails his shmo.
Most especially doer he delight in such occasions as
the reception of Kossuth. and the spontaneous offer?
ings of ihe people to the Hungarian ra ise. S iddenly
afflicted with great concern for the poor of the I rty,
he prates of charity beginning at home he drags
from old police reports and stale im igmation real
and fictitious cases of suffering. a drunken vaga?
bond found in the streets htlf-frozen is a whole ar?
mory for him. from which he draws what he take*
to be bomb-shells enough to annihilate all sympathy
for " foreigners," open all panel to home appeals,
and forever bani?h wretchedness from our vicinity.
But this same Grumbler is a consummate hypocrite.
While he dilates ?o pathetically upon the sin and
suffering under his nose, he grasps hi- p IIie OtllBgl
with hook? of steel . he was never known to give
anythingbut advice . he w ill sdrecate or abuse any?
thing for money, but his natural instinct* are all on
the side of destruction . he sees no bright example
of hberality without one of his ow n mercenary mo?
tives at the bottom if it he hears no good deed of
a neighbor without seeking to blacken it by euepi
I cion . he knows that Hospitals and Asylums are
only clever contrivances to enable doctors and
nurses to live off the public . Churches are ob e ted
to because they are sectarian Christianity because
it is exclusive Education because it costs so
much , Benevolence because it is partial Philan?
thropy because it is far-sighted. Enthusiasm be
cause it lacks judgment, and Judgment because it
lacks enthususm in fact a M serious objection" al?
ways hang* at the tip of his tongue, like the drop of
poison on a rattlesnake's fangs. " willing, to wound,
and not afraid to strike." The Grumbler is the veri?
table Old Man of the Sea who bestrides every
form of Philanthropy like an incubus, determ.n
ed to crush the life out of it, but he generally emer?
ges from the strife as quiet as the serpents that beset
the infant Hercules When > ou see, on the heels of
some greaf occasion, whiiiti.,' sentimentality ovr
neglect of home charities, hackneyed rhodomoncnlo
about the sufferings of the poor, moving appeals 11
your sympathies and gener ally, coupled with ill
concealed sneers at enlarged benevolence, you miy
be sure that it is all the hypocritical utterance of a
Grumbler of one who never did and never means
to do a good action w ithout immediate and usurious
reward one who*c hen: is as devoid o( feeling M
his face is of shame or his roul of honor. ene w host

CIT We- leani by the last steamer that
gossip m London nn\rrrs that a gentleman who has
been somewhat notorious in the literary an 1 theat?
rical circles of this ( lty is in pri-on at Geneva for
undue pertinacity in the pursuit of ? wife under dif
firu.ties. It appears that he made proposals of mar?
riage in London to the Di< N of oio of the wealthiest
London bt nkers, largely connected w ith this coun?
try , who had JTSO.OnO bo mtt own right. The propo?
sals were declined, and soon sftcr the lady left for
the Continent. She was followed by the enamored
swain to Geneva. Here she was one day informed
by letter thai aome formality in regard to her piss
port reqmrec. that sne ?noui? ^o ;n person m ? ? er

rections, and upon entering the house she found only
present her London receted. who immediately
locked the door, and producing a pa-r of pistols,
threatened?not to destroy himself if she continued
cruel, hut to shoot her unless she'either married him
or divided ht r fortune w ;th him. Neither of these
reasonable requests being acceptable to the lady, she
temporized with the gentleman until her maid, who
had been alarmed at her absence, sought her w ith
some of the police, and found her in the above urn
pleatar.t c.itegi ry. The lady was released, and the
unhappy swain, who hnd loved not wtsclv nr<r too
well, was sent to cool his ardor in a prison

On Saturday morning, a, few minutes aticr'>
o'cloek. a fire broke out in aa old frame building in
the rear of No 15 Bowery, occupied at a manuf.i*
tory of Cabinet Ware. The butidirg being very old,
and the material v? ry sBleaBesal le, the flames spr?-iI
with astonishing rapidity. The alarm from the
various fire bells throughout the city eoon brought
a large body of the fire department to the ground,
but so intensely col J was the weather, '.hat the * ater
Ucze in the hose, rendering many of them entirely
uselr ss. Several of ;he engines became clogged up
with the ire, and were broken by the Bremen in at?
tempting to ure them Several of the hydrant* were
so frozen up th it it became necessary to kindle lire
around them
Many of the firemen were severely frozen, a- i
w i re obliged to leave the ground.
The flames soon gained the ascendancy, and in
less than half an hour, some ten or I wette buddings
were burning ..t the same time
The greatest consternation prevailed among the
residents of the buildings in the vicinity of the con?
flagration . and m.nv fled ;>rcriptt.rtt-ly from their
dwellings, leaving perhaps their ail, a prey to the
devouring element.
The Chief of Police, Capt. Leonard, of the Se|sanf,
Ward, Capt. Hrennan.of the Sixth, Capt. Snodgnss,
of the First, Capt. Turnbull, of the Eighth, < apt
Scattifl.of the Fourteenth, and others, were.early

assistance to the firemen, besides saving considera?
ble property from the burning buildings.
Despite the perseverance and energetic action of
the firemen, the flames burst forth now and then
with great fury, and before they could be checked
about fifteen buildin gs were destroyed, nothing re
maining but a heap of smoldering ruins.

Fire u.n the Ship Qiecn of the East.
?Afire broke out on Friday night, at a few inmates
past 11 o'clock, on board of the new ship yueenof the
East. 11,375 tuns.) which arrived here on Thursday
latt from Newcastle, Me . and which, but for the
bold, a;tive and indefatigable exertions of Mr Sam?
uel Wiley, tecond officer on board, would undoubt?
edly have destroyed tlie ves el, together with a
number of ethers that were then lying in the im me?
ld; ate vi in ity.;
The fire is said to have iiil|lnMesl tathe ansuks
from the funnel wInch passed from the cabin up
'brotigh the i uddy. igniting tne spanker and several
part- of the standing and. running rigging Some
lire engines arrived at Ihr head cf the slip, on South
st., but could not play upon the re-tel, she being at
the extreme end of the pier.
From her close proximity to ? ther vessels, certain
perscnt cn shore, in the excitement, were prompted
to cut her adrift, in conse ,nerve af which, none but
those on board could do any thing toward saving tte
veasel. These were the first ,aid seco..d offi.tr?,
cook and. steward, and tw > men.
At this liBIT, when the nutzen sj iM was enveloped
b f.axms, tte second officer, with great difficulty and
danger, ascended the nggn.g till he gained a pjsitiou
above the fire, and then with a uroas-jsseh bu.lue
whipped up tcveral hogsheads of water from the
deck, with winch he finally succeeded in subduing
the ? . e?
In the oj er-.'.ion li e of his hands was so severely
betned that he will probably be disabled for tome
time The, spanker was entirely consumed, and
some of the rigging and ipars severely charred.
