LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
I Wsswikot, Feb. .
t hava just seen t new gold dollar
piece tent down from the Philadelphia Mint
to tho Han. George J. Hetwton, Chairman of
the Committee of Ways and Means. The
eain eaoMsts of a flat ring, on which there
k a superscription, but no head, as the place j
Tor putting a head is cut out. ' The only ob
jection to this kind of coin is the detrition,
lo which it seems to me, it must be very
liable. On the other band the coin may be
carried on a string, a most convenient and
safe war of carry inn money. Half-dollar
gold pieces, not yet called for by any law
have been sent down, and look very pretty.

Tho Hon. Mr. Starkweather addressed
Kossuth in behalf of tho people assembled.
Kossuth said in reply, Ihnt it was the hun
dred and fifly-sixlh time he had addressed
an American audience, in the language he
had learned fiom Shnkspeare. Iiu hoped
that the time for speaking had passed, and
the time for acling had come. Business
matters required his kclivity ; but the in
strumentalities of that activity he could not
reveal, ns it would be sending over to the
enemy the plan of battle. He railed alten-
tion to the shares in the Hungarian loan
which were now rendy. That loan would
surely be repaid. The salt mines of Hun
irary now yield a revenue to Austria of $fi,
000,000 per annum. Hungary, once tree,
that revenue would be increased, and Ihe
loan cancelled in a year. He was told that
certain relieious denominations were oppo
sed to his cause ; that theie was a move
ment on foot to alienate those of Irish ex
traction. He was conscious that freedom
could, by nobody, be more beloved than by
the sons of Erin, and they could not side
wilh depolism. Besides, if despotism should
crush Albion, would it make Eiin free. H
who sides wilh despotism wi'l become its
slave. In conclusion, he repeated the motto
of Captain Lawrence, "Don'l givo up ihe
ship ;" exhorting them not to give tip the
Snow Stobm 1 Gcrmanv. -Papers re
ceived from Germany, state that the snow
driftincs in the cnltings of the Silesian
Railway, near Oderbers, have interrupted
tho communication almost daily. In some

deep. The Pnaines wpre on one occasion
brnnaht to a stand still, their firp beins
evtinrnished. The heaviest fall nf snow'
extends the whole distance from Vienna to
