The Next Consreit*.

From a list of members of the next

Congress, prepared for the New York

Tribune, it appears that parties will stand as follows:

The Senate, 34 Democrats *Snd 24 "Whigs, and Messrs Hale and Chase

Free-Soilers.

The House, 112 Whig, and 1J 5 Dem

of that Addreaa, while John Wentworlh »nd sev ,jon

were received in this city yesterday

from iew Orleans, announcing a nrenij-i ...

ful sacrifice of life, caused by the exp.o-| 7 I

isiana. The accident occurred on the

15th. just as the boat was leaving port

for St. Louis, nnd the dispatch snvs one

hundred persons were killed. She must

have had on board a large number of

omigrants, aud it was among them, no doubt, that tho sad havoc of life wns^

made. One of the dispatches says tbnt

the steamers Hostona and Storm were-

"wrecked" by the explosion.

The Louisiana was bound for St. Lou-

in, and had on board a- large cargo—all

nf which, with the boat, wa$ a total los«.

The Louisiana was a fine boat, not more ,t,hnn two years old, and was engaged iu,

WHEELING BRIDGE.—It feared this great bridge is a mistake after all. A

recent rise in the river of no very extra-

ordinary height, shows that large steamers cannot pass under without lowering

their pipes. Pipes of certain boats reach

from six ten feet above the bottom of

the bridge. Great dissatisfaction is ex-

pressed—some boats refusing to lower

their pipes, &c. &c.

Resignation of the French Ministry. The French Ministry has rested, or were disrr^ssed. fThe cause of this was their disincIinatfAn to sustain the President's letter, relating to the affaire of Rome. Great excitement existed in Paris in consequence of this move, but the President was firm in his-resolution, and wrote a letter to the Assembly, which the London Times characterizes as impudent. Anew Cabinet had been formed, which wholly represents the views of the President and a majority of the Assembly/ There is no newa from Russia.

The French Ministry resigned in a bodv on the 30th ult. It seems that the

To this meeting Louis Napoleon emphatically declared the cabinet wanted dignity, and the imputation was sufficiently annoying to raise the dander of less sensitive personages than iliose who form the Executive of the French Kepublic. The result was, the insult 10 them was too deep to be forgiven.

The President added, the Cabinet had been too subservient to the conservative majority of the Assembly..

Great Excitement at Hanlt St. Marie Difficulty Between the Indians and Quebec Mining Company

Detboit,

We learn by the steamer Franklin, just arrived from Sault St. Marie, that great excitement prevailed there In consequence of apprehended difficulties between tbe Indians and Quebec Mining Company, arising from the neglect of the Canadian authorities to make payment for their lands, which had been promised to the Indians. The latter had stolen three pieces of cannon, and had been joined by thirty whites. To the number of twto hundred had commenced their march on the operatives of this company at their works, sod the moat serioos consequences are apprehended, as the Indians are well armed.

Military Glory.

There is something inexplicable in the reverence paid bjr men to honors won in battle. The world's history appears, indeed, to be preserved rather in the history of batile-fields than in any other way. It is very true that the struggle of man with his fellow-man has been incessant, and the contest for power or fame makes up the daily current of political events but that will hardly 'account for ^the fact that.^hilc a few men worship at the old shrines of learning. and do homage to the divinity dwelling in them, by far the greatest poriion of the race are benersatisfied with viewing battle-fields and relics of hard blows* battered swords and shields,and the like evidences of man's hatred to man "Few *vho visit Greece care to search ootthe favorite resorts of the old philosophers^ but all rush to Marathon or Thermopyh®. Even in couniries made interesting by modern events, few care to remain for anv length of time in the houses of great or good men, or to tread on ground hallowed by the footsteps of departed worthies while the mass pour steadily to Waierloo, Culloden, Marston Moor, and a hundred similar places, renowned as soil fertilized by the blood of men.^f If farther illustration of the fact that men worship military glory were needed, it may be found in the aueniion paid to soldiers who have fought bravely, compared with iliat paid to men who are only known as giants in intellect but the (act is too notorious to need proof. 'V[

An illustration is afforded by an' anecdote of Kosciusko in his retirement, not long before his death. Me then resided in a cottage in a village of France. During the invasion of France, a Polish regiment from the army passed through

mined by the soldiery, and Kosciusko, an old and feeble man. came out of his cottage and addressed them.
