MONTE April 3.-REcEPTIos KossuTH IN MoBiLE.-
Kossuth has met unexpected sympathy here, and
husastc meeting has been held at which the sentiments
expressed by Senator Clemens have been totally dis
ayowed. great many distinguished Alabamians
present welcome him His departure for the Norf,
has consequently been postponed for days. lilo has
received considerable sum in aid of his cause.
MOBILE, April 3-kossuTH X MoBlL.-kosSuth has
much sympathy. The sentiments Of Senator Clemens
were dsayowed at meeting Of citizens at which many
welcomed Kossuh whose departure for the North has
been consequently postponed several days.
And in the New York Epening Times Of the 9th
instant, we find the following
KossurH THE SourH.-Gov. Kossuth was received at
Mobile. on Saturday with great enthusiasm. public
meeting Of the citizens held at which the sentiments
expressed In Congress by Senator Clemens dis
avowcd and the mission Of Kosuth warmly endorsed In
consequence Of this turn Of affairs the departure Kos
suth for the North Il delayed considerable sum has
already been subscribed in Mobile in aid Of the u
Hungary.
We copy the above, merely to say, they are all
false-entirely so.
As to his "brilliant reception" if being per-
mitted after his arrival to wander about the city
alone for couple Of hours, and, after taking pas
sage FOR Montgomery, accepting an invitation from
scfconstituted committee Of fifteen, without tho
least pnblic display, be 9 brilliant reception
kossuth's was peculiarly so!
The " enthusiastic meeting" did not g disavow''
the sentiments OF Senator Clemens. There was no
expression of opinion on tho subject, except from
half dozen of the political enemies Of Col Clemens.
well known here whs were amazingly tickled to
hear the poor exile abuse an American Senator.
There were no " distinguished Alabamians" pre-
sent, except those few great who shed lustre
own fair city Of Mobile.
As to the "materal aid" we should like very
much to know the amount which the Hungarian re-
ceived. If hundred dollar bill would cover it
all, we are much mistaken.
The meeting certainly large one. Every
body had heard of the eloquence Of Kossuth, and
out OF curiosity and anxiety to hear him, citi-
zens generally attended the meeting. But that
meeting gave expression Of appreciation of other
the principles or aims Of Kossuth. Indeed, it is
candid opinion that fifty men cannot be found In
Mobile, who will put their to a paper, pledg-
ing themselves to the support Of the principles and
objects Of Kossuth No, no! Ii is all humbug.
We should like to know who forwarded those false
dispatches to tho North Surely, no citizen Of Mo
bile could have thus recklessly misrepresentcd pub
lie sentiment.

the POPULATION OF THE GLoHE.


The population Of the globe is supposed to
be less than one thousand millions 937. 000,-
600. A French writer abiding to the sub
ject says:
Ii all mankind were collected ia one place,
every four individuals occupying square
metre, the whole might be contained in field
ten miles square. Thus. generally speaking
The population Of country might be packed
without much squeezing, 10 its capitol But
the mean idea this gives us Of the number Of
the human race is counterbalanced by its ca
pability Of extension Tbe new world is said
tocontain of productive land, 1000. 600 square
miles of middling quality, each capable Of
supporting two hundred inhabitants; and o.
DOC, 600 Of better quality, capable Of sup
porting five hundred persons. According to
this calculation, the population Of the new
world, as peace and civilization advance, may
attain to the extent Of 1000 600. II we
suppose the surface Of the old world to be
double that of America, (and notwithstand-
ing the comparative poverty of the land, this
calculation may be accepted. il We say moth
ing OF Australia and the various arcbpela-
goes, it would support 100000 600 and
thus the aggregate population Of the entire
globe might amount to 10000, 000, 600. or
twelve times the present number.

Lov'd friends may from my side be torn,
And cherished hopes decay;
Yet this shall be my steady course,
Alike through good and i'll,
Let sunbeams shine, or storm winds blow,

Oft has my fainting spirit sunk
Beneath the bitter blast,
And tremble at the deepening gloom
Around it gathering fast

Forward | calmly look. and press
