F r i e n d C l e v e l a n d : —In a previous com munication I was much occupied in giving a description of Kossuth, and his reception. The great banquet came off on Friday eve ning, of which you have read full reports; and it is enough for me to remark, that the speeches, on that occasion, were extremely favorable to his project of interference against ing their remuneration. He pictured to them the condition of thousands of their sex, suf fering from disease and want, because of their insufficient wages; bearing no just ra tio to those of the other sex. From these, says lie, spurn to accept a fee. But when called to the bedside of those in affluent cir cumstances, accept nothing short of the re ward accorded to your professional brethren. The exercises were enlivened throughout by the stirring music of a band of violinists. The entire affair was well calculated to es tablish the opinion, that females will sustain themselves with dignity in the Medical Pro fession. The whole number of students in this institution during the recent term, was forty-three. Their building is located be tween Sixth and Seventh on Arch street. It is conveniently arranged after the style of whom they have been trained for three cen turies to honor and obey—-against the whole power of one of the greatest military empires of our age—against a most sanguinary and formidable insurrection into which the per fidious arts of Austria drew nearly half the population of Hungary itself—Kossuth had few resources to .oppose but those found in ■the justice of his cause and thrilling might of his eloquence. With these he created Armies, Munitions, Money Credit and Sup plies, by virtue of which the Austrian le gions were hurled from tbe heart of Hungary back across the frontier to the vicinity of their own capital, tracking their flight by the lavish effusion of their blood. Never was a Revolutionary Government more promptly or more formidably subjected to stern or deal of the sword, and never was one more completely successful. Unlike nearly every other Nation revolting against Usurpation, Perfidy and Despotism, Hungary, when she first formally declared her independence, had already proved her ability to maintain it. She had proved her self-sufficiency a fact be fore she asserted it as a right. And the sub sequent interposition of the Russian Auto crat, at the inteposition of ths Austrian Court, to crush beneath his colossal weight the liberties of Hungary, so-far from disprov ing the independence of the latter, is a strik ing confirmation of its intrinisic justice and veriity. When an Empire so formidable as the Austrian confesses, by soliciting foreign aid that it is unable to govern a neighborin State, it plainly admits that its right to do so, if it everhad any, has ceased to exist. Tbe life of Louis Kossuth, truly portrayed has for us'many imppressive lessons; among them that of “ the uses of Adversity.” When the patiiotic young advocate and editor was suddenly snatched from his friends and his labors, and hurried to the dungeons of Buda, the captive and victim of a gigantic, irresisti ble despotism, he may well have regarded that arrest as the termination of his efforts & most Medical Colleges. The ladies have prepared several excellent anatomical speci mens with their own hands, which^adorn their museum and institution. Having ad-* vanced thus far on the subject of Medical Colleges, perhaps I had better give you a little synopsis of the remaining institutions of this city, of which there are no less than seven, viz: the Jefferson, Philadelphia, Ho moeopathic, Botanic, Eclectic, and Pennsylva nia Medical Colleges, besides the Medical Department of the Penn. University. The latter has annually four hundred students and is only excelled by the Jefferson, which has over five hundred; the remaining six average about one hundred, making the num ber of Medical students who annually resort to Philadelphia, over fifteen hundred. This for his Country, the death-blow to his hopes of her efneipation. Yet a few years sufficed to develope the truth that the stern ordeal of the malefactor's dungeon, without limitation pf'senfonch or rational hope of deliverance, was an essential preparation for,the memor able part which he was destined in the order of Providence to play in the not distant drama of Hungary’s liberation.^ But for that ordeal, he might have been a leading Liberal orator in the Diet, but wo'd not have been called by the Nation’s undivided voice to be the chief, the champion, the embodiment, the animating sotil of her heroic struggle fer Independence. And, thus instructed and strengthened by the past, we may rationally; confidently trust that his more recent prostration and exile are but preludes to a still more triumphant re storation to a place in the government cor responding that which he has never forfeited nor ceased to hold in the hearts of his country men. existence, he will be seated on the throne, amidst the acclamations of the people—if he he not, France m il go back to a republic, fur no other hand will dare ro seize s sceptre which it cannot wield. The Orleans branch, though amiable, are too weak—have too much of the imbecility of the other Bourbons, and will share the same fate, if they do not choose to live as simple citizens, under what ever change takes place!” [Here the emperor paused a few moments, then, waving his hand, he exclaimed, in an animated tone, his_ dark eye beaming with the enthusiasm of inspiration]— “ France once move a republic, other coun tries will follow her example—Germans, Prussians, Poles, Italians, Danes, Swedes and Russians, will all join the crusade of liberty. They will arm against their sov ereigns, who will be glad to make conces sion of some of their rights, in order to pre serve a minor authority over them as sub jects. They will grant them representative chambers , and style themselves constitution al kings, possessing a limited power. Thus the feudal system will receive its death-blow —like the thick mist on that ocean, it will dissipate at the first appearance of the sun of liberty. But things will not end there. The wheel of revolution will not stand still at,this point—the impetus will be increased in a ten-fold ratio, and the motion will be accelerated in proportion. When a people j recover a part of their rights as men, they ’ become elated with the victory they have achieved ; and having tasted the sweets of freedom, they become clamorous for a larger ■ portion. Thus will the states and principal ities of Europe be in a continual state of tur moil and ferment—perhaps for some years— like the earth, heaving in all directions, pre vious to the occurrence of an earthquake; at length the combustible matter will have vent—a tremeUduous explosion will take place. The lava of England’s bankruptcy will overspread the European world, over whelming kings and aristocracies, but ce menting the democratic interests as it flows. Trust me, Las Casas, that as from the vines planted in the soil which encrusts the sides of Etna and Vesuvius, the most delicious wine is obtained, so shall this lava, of which I speak, prove to be the only soil in which the tree of liberty shall take firm and perma nent root. May it flourish forages! You, perhaps, consider these sentiments strange— unusual; they are mine, however. I was a republican, but fate and the opposition of Europe, made me an emperor. I am now a spectator of the future,” Kossuth at Baltimore. A deputation of the Protestant Clergy men called on K ossuth . Mr. MoVris of the Lutheran Church, made an addr&ss, in which he alluded to the powerful weapon which Divine Provid >nce had placed in Kossuth's hands,—a knowl edge of the English language. K O S S U T H ’S R E P L t- The Prophecy of Napoleon. Kossuth in reply to this allusion rela ted the follwing curious fact: It is some 12 years ago, said he, that,for my decid ed attachment to the right of a free Pr^ss, which had never been oppressed except by the arbitrary laxvs o f my countiy, f was put in prison by the -AuStrihh \Gov ernment, where 1 laid three years;; 1 he first year they gave me nothing to read and nothing to write with ; in the second they came and told me it* would-be grant ed to me to read something:, but that I ~ 7 must not take my choice of any political books, but only an indiffeient one* I pondered a little, and knowing that a knowledge of languages was the key to sciences, I concluded that, it perhaps might be useful toget some little knowl edge of the English language, soil mid them 1 would r.ame some books which would not partake in the remotest \yay with politics—I asked for an English Grammar, Shakspeare, and Walker's Dictionary. The hooks were given, and I sat down without knowmu a single word, and began to read [he “ Tempest the first play of Shakspeare. and. worked for a fortnight to get through the first page.

The following is a suppressed passage from both the French and English editionsof Count Las Casas' Journal : — presents -rather a formidable statement to those who suppose that Doctors kill rifore than they cure. The circumstance of so many resorting to Philadelpha, may be ac counted for by the agreeable uniformity and mildness of the climate, the centrality of the location in regard to the North and South, where the inhabitants from each may mingle and learn each others traits; and also in the plain, unpretending character of the people, which is very attractive to a stranger. But more than all of these, is the interest which the people have taken in science since the days of Brecketrridge, Rush and Franklin, who, with their successors, Wistar, Homer, Morton, Dungliscn. and others, have estab lished such a fame for her,that no medical man feels entirely satisfied until he has seen her accumulated lore.

R ush . “ Before the sun shall have revolved many periods round its orbit,saidxthe Emperor to me one day, as we stood viewing the sea from a rock which overhung the road, “ the whole European system will be changed.— Revolution will succeed revolution, until ev ery nation becomes accquainted with its in dividual rights. Depend upon it, the people of England will not long submit to be gov* erned by these bands of petty soverigns — these aristocratic cabinets. I was wrong in re-establishing the order of nobles in France; but 1 did it to give splendor to the throne, and refinement to. the manners of the people, who were fast sinking into harbarisrft since the revolution. The remains of the feudal system will vanish before the syn of know ledge. The people have only to know that all power emanates from themselves, in or der to assert their rights to a share in their respective governments. This will be the case, even with the boors of Russia-—y$s, Las Casas, you may live to see the time, but I shall be cold in my grave when that colos sal/tint ill cemented empire will be split in to as many sovereignties—perhaps republics —as there are hordes or tribes which com pose it.” After a few more reflections on the future prospects of Europe, his majesty thus con tinued : There have been so many articles publish ed in the newspapers illustrative of the ad vantages always arising from early marri ages, that we are tempted to give the folow- ing, on the other side of the question : The practice of early marriages, so com mon in the United States, is one of the worst features of society. Under the most favor able circumstances it involves too many lia bilities on all parties, to be entered into with out deep and serious reflectiou. It is well enough, whea young people love each oth er to think they cannot live apart; but it is not well for them to marry without some good provision for the future. The com mon saying, that it cost no more to maintain two than one, is a fallacy, which is every day exposed to its poor deluded dupes. Be sides, the bodies and minds of the young need development in the school of experience. What could be lightly borne at thirty, would be their ruin at eighteen. Nature, at that age, has not ripened us mentally or physi cally, and all premature developments must he fearfully atoned for in after years. Youth does not know its own weakness. Lacking depth and sound judgment, what it adores to-day, it is often indifferent to on the mor row. Many have married on the strength of first affections, and awakened from the dream to find themselves utterly.and irretriev ably miserable. There is a halo about youth it is not well to trust over much. Better mis trust it altogether, and depend upon manhood and the future. The affection that cannot learn to labor and wait, can never endure for any length of time. Above all others, the poor should avoid early marriages. In a single state, poverty is a curse ; but the double poverty of marri age is a hell to endure. Want and distress soon rob love of its charms, and life of its charms, and its bloom. Affection will not make the pot boil, neither will it pay house-rent and buy new dresses. What was irksome to bear alone, becomes doubly so when the law has bound its victim to anoth er for life. guage, cause 1 was forced not to choose a hook of any political character.

She further says that she is well and intimately acquainted with a gang of counterfeiters, of some twenty in number, all of which for years past have been operating with her said hus band,—that she has always understood from her husband, that he himself com mitted the forgeries and that they, his confederates, procured the money.— She then goes on and enumerates a lar<j ;9 number of cases of forgery, larceny &<\, in all of which her husband vyas prime mover.

Though not originally of the domin ant or Magyar race, he became of that proud, gallant and able race the fervently loved and thoroughly trusted leader and champion.— Though by birth and education of the middle class, he was freely unanimously chosen the chief of a Constitutional State, wherein Aris tocracy had held almost boundless sway for centuries, and wherein the Aristocratic ele ment, though no longer fortified by exclusive privileges under the law, ivasstill essentially formidable.

If this mighty debt were due to foreigners, these cunning islands would not bear the burden an'hour; hut would, on some pretext or oth er, break with their creditors, and laugh at their credulity—but they owe the money to individuals among themselves, and are tliere- fore likely to enjoy the pleasure of paying the interest for generations to come. France •. i too got a debt—these Bourbons think to maintain themselves on my throne, by bor rowing largely of the present generation, in order to lay heavy taxes on the next and all future onqs. But I know the French people too xvell to suppose that such a system can he long tolerated. I know that they have too, much natural affection for their offspring to entail upon them a national debt, like that of England, however artfully incurred.

It runs to the effect that on Mr. Millmore’s accession to the Presidency, he bethought him that it was necessary to the dignity of the office, that he should have a coach, and,’of course, horses to go before it. Whether or not the diplomatic corps were called in to consult upon so grave a question as the purchase of a span, history and the “ Washington correspondance ” have failed to enlighten us. The horses were, however, obtained without difficulty, and the next arrangement was the procuration of the coach. Secretary Corwin, from whom nothing escapen, relales that, Mr. Preston, of South Caroliba, patriotically disposed of his estab- lisment to the President; and when brought to the White House, Mr. Fillmore, desirous of having the opinion of Irish Jemmy, the well known whip, as the fitness of the coach, asked him if he though! it a fine one? ’ Och it's a good coach, yer honer!” said Jemmy. “ But is it good enough, Jemmy T 1 said the President, Jemmy, with a doubtful scratch of the head,answered again in the same manner; when Mr. Fillmore, wanting from him a positive answer, said-v Jemmy, do you think a second carriage would do for a President ?” “ Och,” said Jemmy, “ remember honor’s a second hand President, and it's just right.” The President took the coach .
