The committee then scverally assured Kossuth their exertions had not been spared in endeavoring to collect a crowd. Kossuth--I humbly thank you, gentlemen, but if I had been suffered to carry out my own arrangements I could have obtained as much wateri-~ al aid in forty eight hours, as through your kindness I have received in fifteen days! Ihe Our thaviks are due Adams & Co. for . miserable remnunt that was left of the liberty of the press. but its very existence is, to all intents and purposer, annihilated. The manner of Cossuth was all this time excited. The committee sat in silent and composed indurance, seeming to think that “anger has its privilege,” and the general anxiety was to di. cover what was coming next. The following is an extract from a tter dated hrussels, Feb 19, 1852:— A convention has been concluded be. . jour territory, in ease it should be in-vaded, or seriously moneced by France.

It seems as though the people in the west did not enter into the Kossuth excitement with that degree of enthusiasm which made the good people of so ne of the eastern cities look so riidiculous.

It!in every laudable undertak'ng, partiKossuth, in a style of remonstrance, then proceeded to say that he had been deceived—that upon the strength of the assurance given to him he made contracts for the supply of’ several thousand dollars worth of cavalry har. P? . ness; but his arrangements had been broken through by this ill-managed affair. “Your large committees are inefficient. When in Europe,” he said, “I heard of a revolutionary committee of one hundred and forty persons in Vienna, and I at once foresaw they would do nothing—gentlemen, you illustrate the propriety of that conclusion.” Brief intervals of el.udy abstraction followed each of these pithy denunciations, but the momentary suspension of oral castigation was supplied by the withering look and excited gesture of Kossuth. When Kessuth had embarked on board the steamer, that was to convey him from Cincinnati, one of the Com-. mittee, by way of farewell courtesy, undertook to address “ the illustrious stranger,” tendering him the wellwishes of the citizens, ‘This occ urred in a large c:owd on the hurricane deck of the boat. Kossuth, who appeared someweat irritated, replied, ‘ir, I want some freedom, some rest ; do not speak to me—please leave.” Here an explanation was offered, when the Magyar continued, “Now, do not bother me; leave me, do,do; go away!” and the officer retired, while Kossuth turned to his lady and commenced smelling a boquet ot flowers. The Gazette speaks of the disappointment which he felt in receiving 80 little aid, and says that all the enthusiasm manifested, was manufactured by afew, who wished to make themselves conspicuous. The Gazette Says: “A large majority of our citizens have had nothing to do with the matter, and a large, if not the iarger numpay soch poll taz—and may sell the same ot any timer place upon giving a verta) notice one hour previous tosuch sale; and any person indebted to anothez, liable to poll tax. who shall neglect or refuse to pay the same, may pay the same for such other, and deduct the . . amount thereof from such indebtedness ; the sheriff after having deducted the lA tering in hie blood, a Muxzican who had been bratally murdered by ed.

Symptoms of Rebellion in the British West Indies, The once blooming and productive and cultivation has almost ceaaed deed, such is the despair io which the jinhabitants are reduced that they seri. wusly talk of a dis-oln'tion of the abandonment of the island. They lare earnest in their eiceaticr to the mother ceuntry for relief which it further delayed they declnre will be unavailing. They are on the verge of ruin —the cultivation of sugar, once so largely exported, has been stopped—thcir extensive manufuctories, erected ata vreat expense, have heen bioken up--a large portion of the people, including all the manumitted slaves have become thoroughly demor jized, and must. if the present yoliey is continued, relapse into a state of barbarism. The remedy they seck is the imposition by the Home Government of a heavy duty upon sugar grown by +laye labor and imported into Great Britain. A portion of the people are carried by their dexpuir tothe verge of rebellion. A late Winwitce journal commenting upon the subject, after depete the ruined condition of the isand in the most gloomy colors, conclud 's with the following earnest warning to England, and a threat of rebellion if it is not heeded —N%.

A large number of our most respectable citizens have not even been near the Burnet House or other places where M. Kossuth hasbeen. Had he come here really as an exile und a private citizen, he would have received genetal attention.” About 7000 dollars was raised in the city, and 7000 more from the country around. Tue Revenve Brti.—Heretofore there has been great difficulty in the collection of poll taxes in the mining region of California. and no doubt some injustice has resulted from that difficulty. — It will be scen, however, fiom the following extract from the Kevenue Bill now before the Senate, which body it wiil in all probability pass, that such provisions are about being made as will muke it necessary for men to pay their poll tax punciually. Article 56. Each male inhabitant of this State, over twenty one and under fifty years of age, and not by law ecxempt from poll tax. shall pay a poll tax, . for the use of the State.of three dollars; provided he shall pay the same to the . Assessor, between the first Monday of . March and the first Monday of September in each year; and in default of paying the same tothe Ass ssor within the time specified, each such ivhabitant appears that the Methodist Church, which is now very strong in numbers, ig governed altogether by the clergy, there being no lay representation in their annual conferences.

The . tt be listed by the Assessor or not; natiand Philadelphia, where the matter . Cincinnati Commercial represents the will be fully discussed, and a reforma. . tion doubtless ensue. The subject is one of great interest, and will not be lightly dealt with. The clergy do not seein inclined to concession, but they will probably yield to the wishes of the lav members, provided the expression is pre iiive. Mr. Clay's health has somewhat improved; but the fine weather has proba. bly more to do with the improvement than any thing else. All parties now «peak of Henry Clay as of one passed from the active scenes of life. FOREIGN NEWS. By the arrival of the Arctic, at New York, four days later intelligence from Durops has heen received ‘ scene at the demonstration there in a most ridiculous light, and gives the dialogue between him and the committee: Kossuth—“You see, gentlemen, your grand demonstration for the Hungarian cause was a failure!—a failure!!--a failure!!!” F A spokesman of the committee here attempted to offer an explanation in apology—alluding to the shortness of the notice given to the public, and the isappointinent felt at postponing the day of meeting as originally notified— his own indisposition suggesting the alteration, &c. jand the sheriff shall receive one dollar). oig for each five dollars of poll tax by him! .~ lawfully collected, at any time from the first Monday of September to the first Monday of March in each year.

The manner of Cossuth was all this time excited. The committee sat in silent and composed indurance, seeming to think that “anger has its privilege,” and the general anxiety was to di. cover what was coming next.

P? . ness; but his arrangements had been broken through by this ill-managed affair. “Your large committees are inefficient. When in Europe,” he said, “I heard of a revolutionary committee of one hundred and forty persons in Vienna, and I at once foresaw they would do nothing—gentlemen, you illustrate the propriety of that conclusion.” Brief intervals of el.udy abstraction followed each of these pithy denunciations, but the momentary suspension of oral castigation was supplied by the withering look and excited gesture of Kossuth. When Kessuth had embarked on board the steamer, that was to convey him from Cincinnati, one of the Com-. mittee, by way of farewell courtesy, undertook to address “ the illustrious stranger,” tendering him the wellwishes of the citizens, ‘This occ urred in a large c:owd on the hurricane deck of the boat. Kossuth, who appeared someweat irritated, replied, ‘ir, I want some freedom, some rest ; do not speak to me—please leave.” Here an explanation was offered, when the Magyar continued, “Now, do not bother me; leave me, do,do; go away!” and the officer retired, while Kossuth turned to his lady and commenced smelling a boquet ot flowers.
