Am; NTs. —All subscribers are requested to actas agents, 
by obtaining and forwarding subscriptions—especially in 
towns where the P. M., or some other influential person, 
does not give the matter attention. 
It ts not too late to form clubs to commence with 
Eossuthiana. 
The movements and speeches of this distin¬ 
guished foreigner almost till the mammoth city 
dailies. We of course can only give in brief the 
items of the greatest interest. 
The Press Banquet came off at the Astor House 
on the 14th nit., and was a superb affair. Wil¬ 
liam C. Bryant, of the Post, presided at the en¬ 
tertainment. Kossuth, although laboring under 
severe indisposition, delivered one of the most el¬ 
oquent speeches that has ever fallen from his lips. 
Speeches were also made by Bancroft, Beecher, 
and others. 
At Brooklyn, Kossuth spoke in behalf of Hun-
