A member of the Senate tho other night in trying to his utmost to fullill every duty, was making his wav from the Cottage hotel to a night session of that honorable body and strutted bis Nenatorship into a deep i:ullv for tho want ol light. W e assure him there's no danger now. The continued seclusion of Queen Victoria elecits observations from British journalists; which, within living memory, would have cost them dearly. In 1812 Leigh Hunt and his brother were respectively fined five hundred pounds and com mitted to two years' imprisonment one for writing and the other for printing that the Prince Regent, afterwards George IV., was "an Adonis of fifty." The last received number of the Weekly Dispatch, a paper which has a circulation of 200,000 among the working classes of London, speaks out in the follow ing exceedingly plain manner: " The Queen is enormously rich, and her income is hoarded up ; she possesses many palaces, and scarcely ever inhabits any of them for more than a few weeks together, and even then the spirit of seclusion reigns ; her state and hospitality are delegated to her sons, who are nearly always abroad, or sporting in Norfolk or among the High lands, and she herself is gen erally in retreat at Balmoral. We say none of this with any view of ofl'ence, but it is incontestable that a Monarch without a Court is a paradox." It adds that the Queen's privy purse " is surely equal to fivefold of that which is really drawn from it. Besides which, almost all the mem bers of her Majesty's family are lavishly provided for. Taken al together, this Royal establishment costs not one farthing less than a million sterling a year, which would not be extravagant if the country saw some return for it, in encour agement to trade, in promoting the brilliance of tne annual season, in thought and care for struggling in terests. But no. On one hand we have a recluse at Balmoral, and, on CONGRESSIONAL. Senator Carpenter Introduces a llill to restore tne Rights of Iou isiana. Washington, Feb. 5. Senate Mr. Carpenter introduced a bill to restore the rights of the State of Louisiana, and said he would ask that it be printed and lie on the table for the present. Early next week he would ask the indulgence of the Senate to submit some re marks in explanation of the bill, and would then ask it to be referred. So ordered. The senate then proceeded to the consideration of the bill for the protection and prosecution of the work of improvement at the mouth . of f e Mississippi river. Cuban Disturbances. New York, Feb. 5. A private letter from Havana, says that.the alfair at Trinidad is regarded as an exceptional case, and not at all in dicative of a general uprising of the nesrroes. and burning: of i plantations. The opinion prevails that the insurgents will soon be able to cross the old tracha in com parative force. Heretofore they have been able occasionally to cross in small portions. Should they suc ceed in crossing in large numbers, burning of plantations is inevitable. A secret organization is thought ramifications extend- sume full control over the particu lar channel at the mouth of the river now in course of excavation or improvement by the government of the United States, so far as may be necessary to the carrying on and protection of such excavation and improvement, and until the same be completed. He may establish such regulations respecting the use of or passage through such channel as he shall deem needful to fully protect the channel and facilitate the excavation and improvement thereof. Any person interfering with or obstructing or attempting to obstruct the said improvement, or any person who shall wilfully or negligently strand or sink any boat or craft in said channel, or who shall wilfully or negligently ob struct said channel, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon convic tion thereof shall be fined not exceeding $50, or imprisonment for more than six months, or both, in the discretion of the court. There was a long discussion over the bank rupt bill. Carpenter's bill to restore the rights of theState of Louisiana com mences with a long preamble de claring that there is no Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Auditorof Public Accounts, Superintendent cf Education or legislature elected by the legal voters of the State of Lou isiana according to the coustitution and laws thereof, and there is no provision in said constitution and law for the election of said State officers before the next regular elec- The National Grange at St. Louis. St. Louis, Feb. 5. Last night's session of the National Grange, Pat rons of Husbandy, was entirely ta ken up with a discussion as to par liamentary rules for the govern ment of subordinate granges. It has been decided by State agents of the order now here, to leave the question of co-operation entirely to the National Grange, with a view of having constitutional provision made for it. This will defer the matter for another year, as amend ments to the constitution must be ratified by two-thirds of the State Granges before they can take effect.

Those who have made journalism a study, and fully appreciate the great enterprise manifested I in the collection and publication of news by the aid ol the telegraph, steam presses, and! the development of journalistic talent, have been fond of advancing the theory that tbe next advance in that field would re sult in a newspaper Jbrnishing in its regular issues pictures of all current prominent events. That theory i i;fa theory no longer ; the newspaper of the iuiure is iuo newspaper oi to-uay, and that paper is the Daily Graphic. Tbe processes which render this marvellous achievement an existing fact are the re sult of the most careful study and an endless variety of experiments, gradu al' perfected during the past twelve years. They depend, upon improve ments in lithography; and tho applica- I tion of the photographic camera. Bv their aid a picture is erigraved and made reaay & print in iroir twenty minutes to two hours. Costly and elaborate plates, works of arts, scenes of interest, are reproduced and pictured forth with equal facility and the most scrupulous fidelity.

We are told by a high authority that next to green para sols for their wives, at seven-and-six-pence apiece, there's nothing: thit so charms and wins hesitating voters as the kissing of their respec tive infants by the anxious candi date for office. Gloomy and fearful as the ordeal may be, many an un selfish patriot has nobly borne it, animated by a glowing considera tion of his country's interests. Mud pies could not deter him, nor mo lasses scare. But if we may believe an Englishman who has long been a candidate, an element of danger has entered into this performance which promises to end it forever. No less that three several and dis tinct times has Mr. Horsemau caught the measles through his fearless and determined kissing the babies of electors. The most reso lute canvasser may well pause at this intelligence, and ask himself whether it be worth while to dare measles for the sake of office. Mallow and Young Hall, county of Cork. At Staley Bridge, Lancashire, se rious riots occurred during the pro gress of the election, and many persons were injured. At Dumont, Worcestershire, a conflict occurred between an im ported mob of Irish and miners. Numbers of houses were ransacked, and much property was destroyed. The riot act was read, all shops were closed, and it was feared the whole population would rise against the intruders. A company of sol diers was sent from Birmingham to aid the authorities in the restora tion of order. for the President of the United States to employ such part of the land and naval forces of the United States as shall be necessary to. aid in the execution of judicial pro cesses and to maintain the public peace, and to sustain the officers appointed under this act in the dis charge of their duties, and any act done by any person claiming to be officer of the State of Louisiana or any process issued by any State Court, or officer to enjoin or inter fere with the execution of the act is to be treated as absolutely void.

The in mates of the house were Mehr and his wife and six children, his father-in-law and a book-keeper named George. Of these only the father-in-law and two children escaped from the flames. Mehr's father-in-law says he was awakened by the smoke, and heard cries. He called the barkeeper, who could not be awakened. Mrs. Mehr, he said, had rushed out of the house with two children, who she dropped and returned to the house, but never came forth again.
