HapUed.
The steamer Humboldt, with Kossuth
on board, nrrived at New York early on
Friday morning, tho 6th inst. The firing
of a rocket announced the Humboldt's ar
rival. Tho .Hungarian refugees, who
hare befcn staying at tho island some
t ime, immediately ran to tho cannon sta
tioned near thddock, and commenced fi
ring a stjlute ? of thirty-one guns. The
boat of .tho health officer was promptly
manned, and Dr. Doane was conveyed ou
board the'steamer, where he was intro
duced to "M. Kossuth and addressed lnm
a brief speech of welcome, assuring him
of the cordiality with which lie would be
received by the American people in every
part of the Union. A letter was also pre
sented to' M. Kossuth from Mayor Kings
land, requesting him to accept tho hospi
talities of Dr. Doano until the arrange
ments for the reception of the city were
?completed.
Kkply tq Dr. Doane.?M. Kossuth re
plied in thq fullowing terms :
Receive 'my cordial ? thanks for your J
generous sentiments, spoken in generous j
woftlsl Yes, sir, I trust, that you and the :
people of these glorious United States will J
yet see Hungary happy and free, as (with j
natural self esteem 1 say it) she deserves
to be. This is bnt the counterpart of the j
generous welcome I have met with every
where in a nation of the Old World, made
tree by commerce, and united with yours
by its ties; and the sounds I have now
heard seem to be from the trumpet of the
resurrection of downtrodden humanity
throughout the world. You have called
your country an infant. No, sir, your i
country i< a giant; she has grown in sev- j
onty-tivc years to a statuere which other !
countries have not raached in a thousand
years. Your Fulton has blotted out the
word distance which by the Atlantic sep
arates Europe from America. I trust
that the generous CQntidenee of the Uni
ted States will not know distance, when
f ask the young giant to give a brotherly
hand to "old Europe. [ Here Kossuth
shook Dr. Doane warmly by the hand.]
I trunt you will not be disappointed in
me. 1 am a plain man. 1 have nothing
in jne but an honest fidelity to the prin
ciples which have made your country free,
and my most ardent wish is to see my
country made, if not so great, at least as
free anil happy as yours, by the establish
ment of the same principles.
M. Kossuth, with Madame Kossuth, Mr.!
I'ulsky. Madame 1'ulsky, Adtian I.emoni,
secretary, Coi. Count Beth ten, Lt. Col.
That/., ('apt. Torok, and Mr. Kaylcn, late
chief of Hungarian police, then went
ashore, and were escorted to the residence
of Dr. Doane, where a number of citizens
had assembled to greet him. Mr. l'eter
Na/.v, another of Kossuth's secretaries,
came up to the city in the steamer to take
charge of the baggage.
It wus about half past one o'clock when
the party arrived at Dr. Doane's house.'
Major Hagadorn, commanding the Staten'
Ishtnd battalion of the first division, was
pre i nt and tendered to M. Kossuth a
guard of honor, composed of officers.? j
Major Hagadorn delivered an address, in
which he took strong ground in favor of
non-intervention. We have only room
for the following extracts:
For my part?and I ask no one to be
responsible for what I say, although I
honestly believe that I speak the senti
ments of the great mass of my fellow
countrymen, and especially the sentiments
of those three and a half millions of stal
wart, able-bodied ijoiiuij men <?/ America,1
whom our laws have designated for mill- j
iury put-noses?1 believe I speak the sen
t i ill ill ts <if this great mass of tlio luivlli- I
gent citizen soldiers, who are not merely j
household troops, sir, but who have re- (
eeiitly had an opportunity of demonstra
ting before the world what use they can
make of arms in the enemy's country?1
speak their sentiments, sir, when 1 say
that the great Kossuth doctrine of armed
non-intervention is the doctrine and senti
nienbof America?non-intervention for us
?non-intervention for all.
(iod. sir, never acts without a purpose, \
and it is now time for the free men of
America?-to ask of themselves why they
are here upon this earth? It was Cain,1
the first murderer, who exclaimed?" Am
I my brother's keeper?" Brother Jona
than has grown to be a giant. W ho has
thus miraculously filled him up beyond
lh>' stature of his' brethren?anil for what
purpose has lie been thus raised up to a
giant power among the nations of the (
earth'? Is it that he should "cat, drink
and be merry," or, shall the talent which
has been given him be demanded of him
again with usury ? * * * *
Welcome, dear sir, welcome to our
hearts and homes?welcome to our sim
ple republican hospitalities. But above
all, welcome, thrice welcome to the bles
sed liberty we here enjoy a common
inheritance w children of the universal
Father.
M. Kossuth listened to this address
with great attention and apparently with
some surprise. He responded thus :
" To you, sir, I have but simply to
return my thanks, and through you to
those w ho were pleased to send you on
so pleasant a mission. I have simply to
return thanks because you have anticipa
ted all those feelings which it would have
been my task t > endeavor to have tho
people of the United States entertain. If
the sentiments you express arc those of
v<mr people, I have nothing to ask ; then ;
will have almost to thank you for the !
.realization oC U^ose sentiments. The re
ception 1 have already experienced, re-!
. os "'u' !"ueh anxiety. If the doc-'
trine ot non-ijitcrventjon js understood as \
you state it, tl, n u?. genercms anJ c(li

country s suffering indeptnaPn(.0i i8 asuf.
ficient guarantee that we win have fair
play in the struggle which wc have vet to
light, and that is>all the people of Hun.
gary want.
" 1 know your history. To be sure
there is much likeness in our past strug
gle and your glorious effort for indepen
dence, but there is also a great difference.
That difference is, that in the stirring pe
riod of your revolution, you met friends,
but Hungry did not. You met withj
fleets, auxiliary troops, hrms, money and
peace negotiations, in your aids. We
wero forsaken and alone. We wero aban
doned by the whole world. But what to I
our past was wanting we may vet see be- ?
stowed upon our. future. There will soon 1
be Occasion and opportunity for it, becauso .
I feci confident that one lost battle, or
one lost campaign, does not overthrow a
people, but often stimulates them to great
er action, and I am yet strong in the hope
that Hungary will yet be free. I will
cling to my motto which I received from
a laborer of Marseilles, ' There is no dif
ficulty to him who wills.'' In regard to
your "intended guard of honor, I will not
request it, nor will I decline it.
<?1 feel honored by every mark of at
tention, by every token of kindness from
the. American people. In conclusion,
then, sir, permit mo to say, accept my
best wishes for your country's glory and
your personal happiness."
Kossuth was next addressed by Dr.
Bunninghousen, in behalf of the adopted
citizens of the United Stales, to which he
appropriately replied in German.
The guests then retired to the rooms
provided for them. We learn from Dr.
Doanc, however, that M. Kossuth has
taken no rest since his arrival. He has
been busily engaged in examining papers
and letters addressed to him, and endea
voring to acquire as thorough knowledge
as possible of our history and institu
tions.
The public reception by the inhabitants
of Staten Island took place on Friday.?
At 12 o'clock, a procession of military
and citizens was formed, in which, it is
stated, at least ten thousand New Yorkers
took part.
When Kossuth took his position in the
line of procession, the excitement was
most intense, whilst chccr after cheer fol
lowed in rapid succession for about ten
minutes, lie stood erect, and acknowl
edged the compliment by repeated bow
ing to the multitude." The procession
proceeded along several of the principal
streets, which were literally tilled with
spectators, whilst the windows were
thronged with the fair daughters of the
Island, waving the Hungarian colors, and
almost joining in the shouts of welcome of
the sterner sex.
On reaching the place of reception at
Tomkinsville, where an immense marquee
whs ereeled over 11 large staging, the
Hungarian Hag floating over it, the dis
tinguished guest of " the millions" alight
ed, and was conducted by Dr. Doanc and
the orator of the day to the position as
signed him, and from which lie had a
full view of the immense assemblage, who
renewed their demonstrations of joyful
welcome.
An address of wclcomc to the United
States, and to Staten Island in particular,
was delivered by Richard Adams Locke,
fiftq.,' so well known as the able author of
the itioor House, and it was undoubtedly
one of his very ablest productions.
When Kossuth arose to reply, the scene
that presented itself was beyond all de
scription, and some time elapsed before
quiet could be sufficiently restored to al
low him to proceed.
" Allow me, citizens to, advert to one
expression of your kind address which is j
rather a delicate matter to me, and in re-;
gard to which I hope you will not misun-,
derstand me. You have named mc in
the beginning of your address, " Kossuth,
Governor of Hungary." Now, citizens,!
my lot is a curious one. Never was there ,
a man in the world more fond of tran
quility and of a retired life than myself;
and never thus far in my life, have 1 been
able to enjoy this happiness for a single
moment. I have not been able to enjoy '
it, because I always consider the duty of j
the patriot to be first and paramount, and |
that only after that are to come individu
al wishes, individual inclinations. My
nomination to the high station of Gover
nor of Hungary, was not to gratify an
ambitious purpose: linlfctl, l know no
other ambition than that ol not being
ambitious, [applause, | and I declare that
never, perhaps, in my life, did I feel more
sad than at the moment when I was nam
ed Governor of Hungary : because 1 con
sidered my feeble faculties of mind and
the high duties laid upon my feeble
shoulders, and I was almost afraid of the
high responsibilities of that great station.
It is, therefore, not of ambition that 1
thank you for the work you have assign
ed to me in naming me Governor of Hun
gary ; but I thank you for it, because the
acknowledgement, on the part of the peo
ple of the United States, whom 1 have the
honor to address, is an acknowledge
ment of the rightful existence of the dec
laration of independence in Hungary.
Cheers]
" And, gentlemen, 1 frankly declare
that 1 believe the people of the United
States are bound, in honor and in duty,
to recognize this declaration of indepen
dence as a righteously existing fact, be
cause your very existence reposes on a
similar declaration. [Hear, hear.J This
| declaration of the independence of Hun
gary is the only existing public law of
; my nation. It was not the proclamation
or a single m?n, nor of a party ; but it was
the solemn declaration of the whole nation
' in Congress assembled, as your forefa
| thcrs were assembled to put forth your
I own glorious declaration of Independence.
It was sanctioned by every village, by
j every municipality of the whole country.
It is the declaration of Hungary, and no
| counter proclamation from my people has
ever yet come forth to the world. Hence
1 have a right to say that the declaration
of independence of Hungary exists right
fully?in its full power of right and lawful
existence. What is there contrary to this
existence ? Contrary to it, is the fact
that the Czar of Russia?a foreign pow
er as you know, which had no right to
intermeddle with Hungarian efforts?had
the ambitious design to thrust upon us
his allegiance; and finding a traitor for
an ally in our ranks, he trampled upon
the liberties and national existence of!
Hungary. Now, Gentlemen, what war
rant has violence to annihilate right ??
Violence can establish a fact contrary to !
law?contrary to right; but violence can
never destroy the rightful source of this
declaration of independence. [Hear, bear]
Whatever may bo the declaration of
your Government, I know that I have the j
nonor to be in a country where the sovc-1
reign is not the Government, but the Pco-:
pic J great cheering]?and where every
man in olVice must be the representative of:
that direction which the public spirit of j
the people takes. And it is therefore, ?
that I thank you even more for your kind
ness, in having named me '? Governor of
Hungary because by thisyou have paid
the tribute of an acknowledgement of the
declaration of independence of my native
land. [Chcera.J
As to the praises which you were so
kind as to bestow upon me, it js no affec
tion of modesty in me when I declare, that I
I am not conscious of having any merifc!
at all, but only that of being a plain,
straightforward man, a faithful friend of
freedom, a good patriot. [Hear, hear.]
And these qualities, gentlemen, are so
natural to every honest man that it is
scarcely worth while to speak of them,
becausc I cannot conceive now a man with
understanding, with a sound heart, can
be anything else than a good patriot?a
lover of freedom, an honest man.
But yet after all my humble capacity
has not preserved me from calumnies. I
can well say to myself, as O'Connell once
said to himself, that I am at this time the
" best abused man" in the world. [Voi
ces, 'O, no ! O, no!'] Well, gentlemen,
I do not care much about it. [Laughter.]
So long aa despots exist in the world, and
despots can lind the means to pay,
they will find men to calumniate those
who arc opposed to despotism and tvran
ny.
After the conclusion of the speech,
which was greeted throughout by the
most vociferons applause, ex-President
Pacz of Venezuela, addressed Kossuth in
Spanish.
Kossuth briefly replied, thanking the
General for his kind expressions, and was
proud to receive the assurances of esteem
from so distinguished a patriot.
The procession was re-formed, and
marched back to the Quarantine, and the
proceedings ended with a salute and grand
fuc tie joy by the artillery and infantry.
Reception of Kossuth by the Corpora
tion of yew York.
The Commercial Advertiser of Satur
day says :
Five or six hundred persons assembled
on board the steamer C. Vanderbilt, at
Castle Garden, this morning, by invita
tion of the Corporation committee of ar
rangements. Among those present we
noticed Hugh Maxwell, collector of the
port, Judge Edmonds, the Rev. Henry
W. Beecher, Alderman Wetlirall, and a
deputation from the Philadelphia Coun
cils, and many members of the Common
Council of New York.
The Vanderbilt started from Staten Is-'
land at about half-past nine o'clock, and
at an early hour a large number of per
sons were gathered at the battery to view
the progress of the affair. The Hunga
rian, English and American flags were
displayed from the staffs of the steamer,
and a cannon posted on the forward deck
was discharged at intervals.
The steamer arrived off the quaratine
dock about half past nine, and lay out in
the stream, while Alderman Morgans and
Miller went on shore in a boat to apprize
M. Kossuth that the committee were now
ready to escort him to the city.
About a quarter past ten M. Kossuth
came on board accompanied by Madame
Kossuth, Madame Pulsky, Cols. Asboth,
Berzenczy, and other Hungarians. He
was loudly-cheered, and salutes were fi
red from the steamer and the shore.?
The steamer Norwalk had gone down
with a load of passengers to witness the
embarkation, and they cheered in unison
with those on the Vanderbilt.
On the route up the bay, the steam- j
boats passing rang their bells, and guns
were fired from Governor's Island and the
Jersey shore. Going up the East River
as far as Greenport, the Vanderbilt was
hailed with cheers from crowds of per
sons congregated on the piers and ship
ping on each side.
At the navy yard salutes were fired
from on board the U. S. ship North Car
olina and the frigate St. Lawrence, and
; the yards were manned by the crews.
Returning toward Castle Garden it was
round to no too late to admit or the pro
posed excursion up the North River, and
it was determined to land. The Battery
was densely crowded with spectators and
military, and on tjie approach of the Van
derbilt, Morris's corps of artillery fired a
salute which was returned.
The stern of the steamer was warped
up to the dock and the landing was effec
ted. Castle Garden was crowded to its
utmost capacity. Among those in the
gallery were many ladies. On the plat
form were seated Mayor Kingsland, Re
corder Tallmadge, the district attorney,
Mr. Blunt, Maj. Gen. Sanford, and a num
ber of persons connected with the city
government.
M. Kossutli entered the building at
twenty minutes before one o'clock, and
was followed by Madame Kossuth, who
was escorted by Lieut. Nelson of the
steam frigate Mississippi. The cheering
which then ensued was voiciferous, and
long continued, and the rush toward the
stand was so great that the table and
chairs arranged for the reporters were
nearly overturned, and the good inten
tions of the committee of arrangements
? in their behalf were frustrated.
Mr. Morgans, president of the board of
Aldermen, introduced M. Kossuth to the
Mayor as Governor of Hungary, an at
tempt was then made to call the audi
ence to order, but it was unheeded by
those in the back part of the room, and
the " noise and confusion" were such
I that we were unable to hear the Mayor's
address, although wo stood within ten
feet of him. M. Kossuth stood close to
his Honor, and no doubt heard all that
was said.
Exertions were again made to bring the
house to order, and for a time they suc
ceeded. M. Kossuth then spoke as fol
lows :
[ " Mr. Mayor ; Gentlemen:?If you are
desirous to hear my humble thanks for
the generous reception you have given me
then I humbly beg you to be silent or
else it will be utterly impossible for me to
speak. I am still sick, ana my head is
?dizzy after being tossed for two weeks on
the restless waves of the Atlantic, but I
shall soon be refreshed by a few hours
rest on the soil of ^eedom. The soil of (
freedom! Your happy home! What
eloquent music in these words ! I have
no home, and the freedom of my country
is stricken down.
Not all the blessings of freedom here
can drown the rccollcction of my native
land. It has accompanied me here and
will follow me back when I go to fight
the battle once more. Yes, even here,
with the evidences of the prodigious
greatness of the United States around
me, my thoughts still turn to home.?
[Here M. Kossuth appeared to be much
affected.] I sec out oflhe midst of this
great assembly rise before- me the image
of my country, and a ray of hope for her
liberty. I think I hear in your loud huz
zahs the trumpet call sounding liberty
for the oppressed people from Europe.
Citizens, much as I am in need of some
rest before I enter into business matters
publicly, I cannot let this the first occa
sion pass without letting you know my
hopes and expectations. ( Here the noise
became so lond thpt M. Kossuth declared
it was impossible to speak, and said he
would write out his remarks for the press.
Loud cries of " go on!" prevailed upon
him to resume.) I have to thank the
people, the Congress and the Government
of the United States for liberation
(The interruption was here renewed, and
the attempt to speak further was aban
doned.)
M. Kossuth had several sheets of notes
in his hand, and had evidently intended to
deliver a long address.
Later from Europk.?The steamer
Niagara arrived on the 11th inst., bring
ing later news from Europe.
The engrossing topic of attention
throughout Europe is the approaching
crisis in the affairs of France.
The assembly, despite the recent evi
dences of the unmistakable popularity of
President Bonaparte, seem resolved to
provoke him to a direct collision. Eve
ry step taken by either party is evidently
watched with intense interest by the other
countries of Europe.
On the 26th, the President delivered
the crosses and medals to the successful
French exhibitors at the London Exhibi
tion, and delivered a speech calculated to
increase his popularity among the wor
king classes and artizana of the country,
and with the- moderate republican party.
In the first of his speech, frequent allu
sion is made to the Republic.
Many persons previously devoted to
General Cavaginac have declared their
determination to support Napoleon as the
only means of saving the Republic.
An extraordinary article has appeared
in the Constitutionel, wherein a direct at
tack is made upon the highest names in
France. Among others, Changarnier,
and M. Beringer, are charged with being
members of a secret committee, having
for their object the overthrow of the Go
vernment. The chief rancor of the wri
ter is directed against the Orleans and
Legitimist parties. No newspaper arti
cle ever produced so much excitement in
Paris.
This article has led to interrogations
being addressed to the Minister. The
Constutionel was believed to be in the
interest of the Government and Ministry
who were supposed to be aware of its
production if not assisting in the prepara
tion of the article. Hence the excite
ment.
It is generally believed that the demand
for urgency with reference to the bill on
the subject of the responsibility of the Pre
sident, will be referred by the Assembly.
Late and Interesitnq Visit to Japan.
?We find in our California files an ac
count of a recent visit to Japan, which ap
pears to be somewhat of an improvement
on the singular aud jealous non-inter
course policy of that people, though they
are sufficiently afflicted that way:
I he brig Rose, Capt. Anderson, on her
recent trip from Singapore to San Fran
cisco, was disabled and compelled to
make for the nearest port, which proved
to be a village called Nipaking, in Japan,
with a population of about 25,000. It is
believed this is the first time a foreign
vessel ever entered the port, and no soon-'
cr had Capt. Anderson dropped anchor
than his vessel was surrounded by 800
Japanese boats, who kept constant guard
around him until his departure. lie was
after some difficulty, allowed to tro sintrlv
on shore, and was escorted hy ?ixty men
a short distance through the principal
street. All the places of business were
closed, although Capt. Anderson when he
neared the port, saw an extensive mar
ket house open, and an animated trade
appeared to be going on. He was treat
ed kindly, and furnished with sixty men
to repair his vessel, although while he
remained, three or four thousand addi
tional police were brought from an ad
joining island. They appeared to be re
joiced at his departure.
Gex. Carvajal.?The Cincinnati Times
referring to this individual, the present
hero of the Siera Madre war, says :
"In 1020 we were acquainted with a
slim, and somewhat effeminate young man
of about twenty, of a nervous tempera
ment, and very gentle disposition at Be
thany, \ irginia, the home of Bishop Al
exander Campbell?who was a kind of
student, and worked for insight about
Mr. Campbell's printing office and binde
ry. He had come there from Kentucky,
where he had been at school. He was
strong in Campbell's faith. He was a
native of Northern Mexico, and wrote his
name Jose Maria, de Jesus Carvajal,
(pronounced Hose Maria, de Hesus Car
val.) He is the present hero of the Sie
ra Madre war."
T'1? Importation of Tea, Coffee and
\V ool into the United States in 1051.?
fhe importations of tea, coffce and wool
into the United States during 1861, as
shown by the statement accompanying
the report of the Secretary of the Trea
sury, were as follows: Tea, $-1,798,004,
whereof was exported $1,129,064 lea
ving for consumption in the United States
$3,668,141. Coffce imported, $12,851,
070; re-exported, $336,000, leaving for
consumption in the United States, $12,
515,070. Wool imported, 3,883,160;
re-exported, $7,966, leaving for consump
tion in the United States, $3,825,194.?
The importation of wool in 1850, was
valued at $1,681,000, showing an in
crease in the value of the importation the
last year over two millions of dollars.
A Centre Shot.?The Albany Dutch
man very truthfully remarks that after a
careful examination of all the histories
which have been written in relation to the
Mexican war, we have come to the con
clusion that the only portion of the army
which did nothing was that portion which
was composed of privates. If official
documents are worthy of credit, all the
soldiers do in a battle it to loot on and set
the officers perform miraclet.

The Laws of tiik Ac-ademv require each stu
dent to attend Public Worship on the Subbnth at
such place us hiinself or parents may select. 7 he
Scriptures are daily read w ith prayer, at which all
the students are required to be present. While
nothing of a sectarian character is allowed in the ,
instructions of the school. Parents are assured
that earnest efforts will be made to Inculcate from i
the Bible those lessons of Duty and Moral Obliga
tion which, no lew than Mental culture, are es
sential to Individual and social happiness and pros
perity.
The undcrsigued would call attention to the
claims of this Institution on the patronage and fa
vor of the public. At almost every session since
| its orgauiiatiou it ha* sent out a greater or less
' number of well Instructed and disciplined young
j men, some of whom are honorably end usefully
' employed in the various avocations and pursuits
of life, others, with credit to themselves, have
graduuted at higher institutions, while perhaps a
majority of tho young men immediately on lea
ving us become actively and profitably engaged lu
Teaching. The low rates of tuition?the central
location of the Institution in a region eminently
healthy and easy of access from all poinU in con
nection with its superior educational facilities, all
unite to commend it to the friends of sound in
struction, and to young men especially who wish
to be prepared for the worthy and intelligent per
formance of their parts in life. We liave the
pleasure of stating that the present attendance
and future prospects of the InsUtution are alto
gether of the most encouraging character

The hundreds of cures performed daily by this

giving it a trial. Thissvrtip is entirely vegltablo.
and not composed of Calomel, Woruisood, and

but is entirely vegetable, and recommended by
the head physicians of tho country, and in all
cases where it does not perform according to tho
recommendations, tho money is returned. I
would further say, do not let your children go to
a premature grave, when so i>lcasant and safo a
remedy is at hand, and one tliat has never failed
to givo satisfaction in cases of Worms or Bowol
Complaints. When your children are afflicted
with bluenoss under the eyes, picking at the nose,
