The territory of the United States is nearly as large as that of all Europe; its population, including that of tho Abor igines and immigrants, may exceed 23,- 000,000, which is not a tenth part of that of Europe. In August, 1790, the United States contained nearly four millions of people, inclusive of about 700,000 slaves. In 1800, there were 6,305,925 inhabitants; 7,239,814 in 1S10; 9,654,596 in 1820; 12,866,020 1830; and 17,063,355 in June, 1840, Webster on tbc Hungarian Patriots.

These wars may some what assuage the imperial sway of de spots. They may serve to convince those who hold despotic power that they may shake their own thrones if they do not yield something to popular demands. In that sense some good may come of it. - Then, gentlemen, there is another aspect. We have all had our sympa thies much enlisted in the Hungarian ef fort for liberty.. \V,o have all wept at its failure. Wc thought we saw a more rational hope of establishing indepen dence in Hungary than in any other part of Europe where the question has been in agitation within the last twelve who are now in the United Slates, believed to be nearly” four millions, or between a fourth and a fifth of the whole population. In the year ending September 30, 1848; 229,483 passengers arrived /n tbc United States, besides those via Quebec; 136,126 were males and 9$,- 883 females. Of these, only 19,299 landed at New Orleans. In 1847 and *48, 597,359 parsons left - the Unit ed Kingdom, in 1846, only 129,851. Some think that the accession of pop ulation to the United Slates by immi gration. will soon reach 500,000 a year. Were our country filled up like Germa ny, 172 persons to the square-mile, the ISiraranms ^rltrtinns. months; 0 but despotic power from j population would be 500,000,000.

The route of the proposed road across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec presents a great variety of objects in the animal and vegetable world. The game, par ticularly, is very abundant. Pheas ants, nearly as large as turkeys, swarm in the woods, and wild ducks of every variety blacken the surface .of the rivers and lakes. Mr. James informs us that lie killed a number of wild ducks of a species larger tbairsbe Muscovy duck, aifd so tame tfiat you may approach within a lew feet of them. Their flesh is of delicious flavor. Deer and rab bits, and.birds of the richest and most varied plumage, abound; tigers and leopards prowl in the woods, but are shy, and Seldom approach near human habitations. But perhaps the most in teresting Zoological specimens on this Isthmus, are the Monkeys, or as the In dians call them, the Chirnos. They are as thick in the woods, as blackbirds in a corq-field; and when any person ap proaches tbeir-dominions, they raise the most horrible chattering and grinning; as if they were heaping imprecations, both loud and deep, upon the head of the insolent intruder. They follow him up, too, at a convenient distance, and swinging by their tails from the branches of the trees, grin defiance and hate, shaking lb* limbs in a most terrible manner. When the French settlement was es tablished bn the Coaizacoalco3, the emigrants were much annoyed by the ravages of the Chirnos, who depredated upon their gardens and orchards, and destroyed their young poultry. Many plans were invented lo get rid of them. Some enterpising Frenchman made a good business capturing them alive, for exportation. His mode was as follows: Taking a jar of rum - and molasses into the woods where he was surrounded by the whole monkey tribe, he would dip up the mixture and eat it before them and then leave. The monkey staffer carefully looking about them, would descend from their retreats in the tops of the trees and approaching the jar of rum and molasses, ;would proceed to dip up the mixture, and partake of it heartily. There was, of course, a great Scrambling <md—among them for the largest share of the delicious morsel. It is proper to remark that no tec-total societies have yet been estab lished among the monkeys, and but few moral restraints have been imposed up on their habits of intoxication. Indeed, injustice lolhe animal race generally,we may add ihat monkeys are the only an imals, except that monkey—less the tail —the man, who have any natural pro clivity to drunkenness. We take the trouble to state this, because temper ance orators, indignant wives, and olh- to him. The Pyrotechnist then pro ceeded to ornament the monkey’s per son in trne Ambassadorial style. He painted his tail with a deep coat of spir its of turpentine; he then encircled his neck with a handsome collar of fire crackers', clone up in blue, red, and yellow paper; next he bound several large sized rockets and serpents around his body. All the while the chimo look ed as pleased as Punch, with bis adorn ments. The ambassador thus orna mented, was then escorted to the favor ite resort of ht3 tribe in the woods, by the leading men of the French colony. The monkeys were assembled in im mense numbers, and seemed to be much impressed with the apparently humbled aspect of their enemy* who ap peared to be so anxious to propitiate their indulgence and friendship as to select one of their own number as the bearer of the Olive-Branch. They were not, however, kept long in this pleasant state of mind, for presently the Pyrotech nist lighted the fire-crackers around the neck of the Minister Plenipotentiary, ccn: when crack! crack! they went then bang; ban<s! inined in the rockets, whilst &!ic spirit Itgislatart.

Darting madly in among his old friends and relatives, he caused among them the most indescribable consternation, and alarm. In wild panic and desper ation, they dashed into the woods, and through the trees,uttering the most pierc ing cries of terror, and stumbling over one another in wild confusion. The woods were soon cleared of them for many miles around. It is the opinion of Mr. Trasitour that some of them are Tunning now; and have nearly reached the island of Terra del Fuego, by this time. Not a monkey has been seen for ma- ny miles around the French settlement sihceV Pyrotechny proved, in this case, the most successful diplomacy affairs. Q. Delta. IN SENATE—December 6,1S49.

On motion of Mr. Chisolm, the Sen ate reconsidered so much of the journal of yesterday as relates to the rejection of the bill to alter and amend the seve ral acts of this Slate so far as relates to the counties wherein the trial of claims to personal properly levied on under executions, shall be. had, &c. A Message was received from the Go vernor by.Mr. Patten his Secretary, in forming the Senate that he had approv ed and signed the following acts: An act to grunt the privilege to the Stockholders of the Cross Plains and Red Clay Branch Rail ltoad Company, to. change the name of said Road, and for other purposes.” “An act to authorize Clerks of the Courts of Ordinary in the several coun ties ol this State, lo grant Marriage-li censes to Jewish Ministers, or other per sons authorized to'perform the Marriage ceremony between Jews, and to author ize Jews to be married according to their own forms.” Fighting on Equal Terms. I will tell' you a little incident that occurred io Georgia many years ago. Judge T., a celebrated duellist, who had lost a leg, and who was known to be a dead shot, challenged Colonel D., a gentleman of great humor and attain ments. The friends tried to prevent the meeting, but to no effect. The par- lies met on the ground, when Col. D. was asked if he was ready. “No, sir,” he replied. “What are you wailing for, then?” inquired Judge T.’s second. “ Why, sir,” said the Colonel., “ I have sent my boy into the woods to hunt a bee gum to put my leg in, fori don’t intend to give the Judge any advantage BILLS RETORTED.

The Senate resumed the considera tion of the bill in relation to divorces; several amendments being offered and rejected, the report was agreed to, and the Bill passed—yeas, 35, nays, 6. The Senate then went into commit tee of the whole, Mr. Stell in the chair, on the “ woman’s bill,” and after a bard struggle the substitute offered by Mr. Love, was lost. The bill was then taken up by sec tions—amendments were offered and rejected.

But to return to our story.— The monkeys of Tehuantepec having indulged to an excess in the intoxicat ing bowl are soon laid under the table or on the .gra£s, in.quite. a befuddled state. In a little while the enterprising Frenchman comes along, and quietly bags-his game, pretty much in the style in which Capt. Forns clears Lafayette Square every morning, by jugging some half a dozen of its drunken residents,— These monkeys being caged, when they are sober, take lo lemons and soda wa ter,and become very maudein and pen itent.

At last, however, the monkey market being glutted with an .over-supply of sink The whole party roared with laugh ter, and the thing was so ridiculous that it broke up the fight. Colonel D. was afterwards told that it would sink his reputation. “ Well,” he replied, “it me lower than a bullet can ! ; “But,” urged his friends, “the pa pers will be filled about you.” “ Well,” said he, *,* I would rather fill fifty papers than fill a coffin!” No one ever troubled the Colonel af ter that. A poor shoemaker having plunged into the water to save the life of ~ ser’s child, the latter was profuse thanks. “ What do I not owe you?” said be, * 1 owe you everything!” “ Very well, you may just pay ten dollars of it now,” said the other, “ and I will wait till you get ready to discharge the remainder of the debt.”— The miser sloped—he did ! din, hair-powder, and pomatum are commodity, prices declined, even below admired just as much, if not more, from their being disagreeable. The secret is, that fashion is imitating in certain things that are in our power and that are nearly indifferent in themselves; those who possess certain other advantages that are not in our power, and that the possessors are as little disposed to part with, as they areeaifertn obtrude them upon the notice of others by every ex ternal symbol at their immediate con trol.
