The fine condiiion ot our roads tor rim

The Hungarian and suite arrived at Harris
burg on Wednesday afternoon, and were re
ceived at the depot by the Legislature and a
large number of citizens. After reining for a
few minutes at Hcrr's Hotel, the party proceed
ed to the Capitol, where quite a scene followed.
It appears that about noon, large numbers began
to fill the Hall of the House of Representa
tives, and long before the time of meeting, all
of the seats of members on the floor w ere occu
pied, notwithstanding the rules which had been
adopted by the Committee. The rotunda of the
Capitol, and especially the entrance to the Hall
of the House, presented a scene of the utmost
confusion and excitement, the dense crowd
struggling for admission, and lavishing impreca
tions upon the officers on duty. The Speaker
repeatedly and loudly called upon the House to
conic to order ; but without avail. The Speak
er of the Senate also appealed to the crowd, en
treating them to clear the rotunda, and allow the
Senators to pass into the Hall of the House ;
but his appeal was disregarded by the mob,
which shouted and hooted all the more, and in
dulged m the most disgraceful exhibitions of
rowdy Km. The Speaker of the House plied
his gavel in vain, and Anally gave up the fask.
All etl'orts to enforce order, even by the aid of a
company of volunteers, failed, and hardly a word
of Gov. Johnston's welcome to Kossuth could
be heard. The latter then spoke about fif
teen minutes, during which time comparative
quiet was preserved. During the evening, at
his apartments, Kossuth was introduced to many
membi:-r> of the I.cgidature, and a large number
ol citizens, who called upon him.

cupied, became alarmed, and in a moment all
the lodgers—about four hundred and eighty
Irish Immigrants—were rushing down a narrow
stairway. Their screams quickly brought the
Cth Ward Police and several citizens to the
premises, and for a while the greatest confusion
prevailed. There was no fire in the building,
but the unfortunate inmates thought there was,
and they screamed and struggled to effect an
egre-s. trampling each other down in the wildest
confusion imaginable.
The stairs, which were very narrow, were
soon crowded to excess, aini tlie Police had
great difficulty in getting the alarmed immi
grants either up or down. In their effort to
escape front the building, six tvere killed and
about thirty more or less injured.
