AMERICAN NEWS.

The great importance of the political complexion of
the Unites States Senate had drawn attention to the
stject, and the Whig journals give the following table
and remarks to show its probable constitution, the elec-
tion of Democratic Legislatures in Arkansas and New
York having settled the question that the senators to be
elected by those will be of the same politics :
Whigs. Democrats.

There is also a senator to be elected in Virginia, whose
Legislature contains a Whig majority of two Members,
another in Delaware, and a third in Michigan. In the
last-mentioned State the Whigs have no chance. There-
fore, in order to maintain a majority in the Senate, they
must elect the senator from Virginia and the senator
from Delaware. Unless they get the Virginia and Dela-
ware senators, the slave and Texas party will have the
practical majority, through the casting vote of the Vice-
President of the United States.

Delaware has elected a Whig senator ; what Virginia
has done we cannot as yet say.
As respects the new House of Representatives, there
had been elected 123 Members, (whole number 223),
showing a Whig gain of four Members, and Democratic
loss of ten. One hundred Members are yet to be elected.

HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL.

FROM THE RHINE, Nov. 19.—The miracles of
Holy Coat at Treves are becoming more and more
miraculous. Hear only the following story, which
the clergyman of the Roman Catholic Chapel in the
villageiG--, in the Duchy of Nassau, has related to
his congregration from the pulpit, and it will be con-
fessed that the cure of a contracted leg is not worth
speaking of :—The worthy priest •related, on the au-
thority of credible witnesses, that in a procession going
to Treves to see the Coat of our Lord, there was an
infidel; the Coat, however, when the procession ap-
peared before it, perceiving that this sinner was near,
leaped out of its case and gave him a box on the
ear (in what manner the priest did not explicitly de-
scribe). The Coat afterwards returned to its case.
Whether this case has helped the patient to become a
believer does not appear. The priest did not need
work a miracle. His faith was so strong, that be
counselled his parishioners to sell all they had, and
even to borrow, in order to enjoy the right of the
Holy Coat.
POLISH FRONTIER, Nov. 16.—Hitherto no snore
arrests have taken place, but the investigations against
the noblemen who are arrested are prosecuted with
great rigour. The Government was first warned from
England of the communications which the Polish
fugitives in that country had with this city, on which
-above forty nobles were arrested, in whose possession
papers were found, which proved that they likewise
communicated with Poles at Paris.

WARSAW, Nov. 15.—Accounts from St. Peters-
burgh say that the health of the Empress is good—at
least, that there is no apprehension of danger. It was
thought her Majesty must by dangerously ill because
she is so seldom seen. But this seclusion is not owing
to illness, but to grief for the loss of her daughter,
in which all the members of the Imperial Family
participate.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 12.—The navigation seems
to be closed at Cronstadt for this year. The road and
the gulf are thickly covered with ice, and several
foreign merchants are obliged to stay.
His Majesty having been informed of illegal reli-
gious meetings, held by the notorious Erek Janson,
has ordered that no proceedings shall be instituted
against those who have attended the meetings, but
that he himself shall be summoned before the Chapter
of Upsal, and seriously warned and reprimanded.
Legal proceedings have already commenced. The
prophets principal assertion is that Luther was the
beast in the Apocalyp, and that the Lutheran doc-
trine is devilish.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 26.—The average price of wheat last
week was 17f. 48c., and that of rye 10f. 47c. The
duties on importation and exportation remain as they
have been for some weeks past.
The Chamber of Representatives yesterday adopted
the project of law relative to corn, by a majority of 66
to 3. Three members declined voting.
The Chamber then commenced the general debate on
the budget of ways and means. The Senate will meet
on Thursday, the sth of December.
We lately mentioned that a Prussian writer had taken
refuge in Belgium. The following are some new parti-
culars respecting the motives of the proceedings against
him :

" Charles Heintz, a very distinguished young student
at Cologne, lately published, at Berlin, a book, under the
title of " Bureaveratie Prussienne," which, exceeding 20
printed sheets, was not liable to the censorship. He has
been summoned to appear before the Tribunal of the
First Instance at Berlin, to answer to the accusation of
having ridiculed the institutions of the kingdom.
" As M. Heintz did not obey this summons, but took
refuge in Belgium, the tribunal at Berlin has issued a
writ to arrest him, and has caused a description of his
person to be printed and posted up everywhere.
" This last measure, which has hitherto been used only
against robbers and assassins, but never against political
writers, has excited a great sensation."
The eclipse of the moon on Sunday evening last was
not seen at Brussels, the sky being covered with thick
clouds. _ _ _ _

The celebrated Russian General, Yermolof, died lately
at St. Petersburgh. Russia has lost within a short period
four distinguished Generals —Tolstoy, Renckendorf, Es-
sen, and Yermolof.
ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 6.—Fresh troubles aro said to
have broken out in Syria. Travellers state that Jeru-
salem is invested by an Arab Sheik, who, with his horde,
infests the road from Jaffa to the holy city. We expect
in a few days positive confirmation on this subject, which
I will send you in my next.

VISIT OF THE COURT TO 8R1G11T0N....--It iS ru-
moured that her Majesty and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses
the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, will
proceed to the Pavilion, at Brighton, for a short visit to
the Sussex coast, previously to the departure for the Con-
tinent of her Majesty's illustrious relatives, salt water
baths having been recommended to the reigning Duke
of Saxe Coburg.
Lord and Lady Ashley, who were to have left
town to-day, have remained on purpose to attend the
public meeting at Willis's Rooms, on Monday next, on
behalf of the Society for the Protection and Employ-
ment •f the Distressed Needlewomen, and for Clothing
the Poor. Lord Ashley will be supported on that occa-
sion by a number of the nobility and gentry anxious to
lessen the evils under which the needlewomen suffer.
ADVANCE OF WAGES.—We understand that the
workers at the cotton mill at Fintry, under the manage-
ment of William Service, Esq., received an advance of
wages, at last payment, of 101. per cent. without
solici-
tation.—Stirling Journal,
